café.

"Jimmy Lester, whose father was Ogden Lester, was killed and replaced in 1886 in Dawn by Brain Eaters, a subspecies of shapeshifters. ”

Sitting across from Jimmy was a mature woman who looked to be in her thirties with big golden waves.

Jimmy asked:

"Who the hell are you? How do you know? ”

Just as he turned and walked down the alley, it was this woman who tripped him and pulled him here.

The woman introduced herself:

"Call me Marlene, have you ever heard of witchers. ”

Without waiting for Jimmy's answer, Marlene explained to herself:

"The so-called demon hunter is the person who hunts monsters, and decades ago, monsters did not disappear, and people at that time may encounter murderous monster attacks when they go out of the city.

"Although there are knights in the Inglands, and the Primordial Flame is also a cult army, they have not always existed, and monsters are still very tricky for humans of comparable strength.

"So a long, long time ago, a class called the Demon Hunter was born, and we specialized in studying the habits and weaknesses of various monsters, and developed a way to hunt and kill these evil creatures.

"And my teacher is an expert in hunting shapeshifters. ”

Jimmy muttered thoughtfully:

"Shapeshifter ......"

Marlene looked at Jimmy:

"Young man, do you know why I'm telling you this?"

Jimmy asked:

"It's because ......"

Marlene interrupted him:

"It's because you smell the smell, you sense the prey like a hunter, whether you recognize it yourself or not, but you do notice that there is something wrong with your little classmate Hara, right? ”

Jimmy asked slowly:

"Is she a shapeshifter?"

Marlene replied:

"Maybe, maybe not, she has a strong scent of shapeshifters, either there's a shapeshifter around her, and this shapeshifter is someone close to her, or she's a shapeshifter herself. ”

Jimmy lowered his head:

"Is Hora a shapeshifter......

Marlene says:

"Hatred can be turned into power, but if you don't control it, you will only be consumed by hatred in the end, and I want to tell you one more thing......

"Not all shapeshifters are evil. ”

Jimmy said calmly:

"But you call them monsters. ”

Marlene says:

"We call shapeshifters monsters, but we are also referring to some of their species, shapeshifters are not a race with the same origin, but we call all races with the ability to change shapes shapeshifters.

"In fact, there was a time in history when some witchers had a certain misunderstanding of shapeshifters, treating them as a general category and making some mistakes that should not have been.

"But later some witchers discovered through research that there are many differences between shapeshifters, among which they are also divided into different categories, a large part of which are harmless to humans, and of course, there are also inherently evil species like brain eaters.

"We call shapeshifters who are born destined to hunt humans and who are able to perfectly imitate humans, but are not inherently highly intelligent.

"Some witchers have a different opinion, but in my case, there is only one way to die.

"And those shapeshifters who are not irreconcilably contradictory with humans, we generally don't take the initiative to hurt them, many morphers are actually the same as humans, they just want to survive hard in this world, so if they don't commit crimes, witchers generally won't do anything to them. ”

Jimmy asked:

"Then Hara is a shapeshifter or a shapeshifter. ”

Marlene corrected:

"First of all, Hora is not necessarily a shapeshifter, and secondly, a shapeshifter is also a shapeshifter, but you don't need to understand these things for the time being, what I want to tell is that shapeshifters are not all evil, at least there are many types of shapeshifters who are not born guilty.

"Most of the unintelligent monsters have disappeared these days, and many witchers have left the industry, but I'm different, because I'm a witcher who specializes in hunting evil shapeshifters, and shapeshifters don't disappear with them.

In fact, this also proves that the shapeshifter is not a monster in the traditional sense, and there is still a big difference between the two. ”

Jimmy says:

"I didn't want to do anything to Hara either......"

Marlene says:

"You know what I'm worried about, normal people don't react so quickly, and the eyes you look at that alley are full of determination and deep fear. ”

Jimmy retorted:

"I'm not afraid!"

Marlene says:

"No, you're afraid, you're even afraid to face up to your fears, which proves that you're completely controlled by your fears, Jimmy, you need to recognize yourself, or you'll lose the courage to face reality forever. ”

Jimmy tried to keep arguing, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.

Marlene says:

"I don't know exactly what happened there, but I'm pretty sure it must have left a very serious shadow on you, and it will probably stay with you for the rest of your life.

"Now, look at everything that happened in the past and tell me, what happened?"

Jimmy kept his mouth shut.

Marlene sighed:

"Jimmy, you're scared of that monster, and you're trying to hide your fear by trying to hide your fear by trying to confront Hera to prove you're not afraid.

"But what you're really afraid of is the monster who hurt your family in the past, not the girl, maybe she's just a shapeshifter girl who wants to live a good life and never hurt anyone, or maybe she's a demon who is good at disguise and can cause bloodthirsty slaughter at any time.

"But whatever it is, she's not the monster you encountered, it's dead, isn't it? I've seen its corpse, cleanly decapitated. ”

Jimmy says:

"Hacked to death by my mother. ”

Marlene's pupils move slightly:

"Wait, isn't your mother an ordinary person?

Jimmy replied:

She took Uncle Herwen's axe, and the shapeshifters didn't resist. ”

Marlene frowned:

"What does it mean to not resist?"

Jimmy says:

"It thinks it's my father, Ogden himself, and while it actually knows it's still a shapeshifter, I think it does confuse its identity. ”

Marlene was surprised:

"Even I haven't heard of this situation. ”

Jimmy didn't know if Marlene was aware that she was changing the subject.

But he really doesn't talk about it anymore, he doesn't talk about his own fears.

Because he knew Marlene was mistaken, he wasn't afraid of monsters.

He was afraid that others would know the truth.

Know the truth that you brought in the monster.

He wanted to rush into the alley because he felt that he would be able to make up for the mistakes he had made.

But it doesn't.
