the only savior

Chapter 433

What Bella said made Aaron suddenly feel excited.

It wasn't that he cared so much about the money the other party said, but that he finally started to gain something through the matter of "hunting the devil".

You know, no one believed him before, and what he said was considered nonsense.

But this time, not only did someone believe in him, but they were even willing to pay him for help, which made him feel that everything he did was meaningful.

Well, this feeling is like a certain writer writing an online article, but he has been unable to sign the contract, and suddenly one day he finds out that his book has been paid for on the shelves, and there are genuine readers who support him.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Aaron tried his best to put on a calm look on his face, and asked some details about the case.

"By the way, the text message my mother sent me should still be here, you can take a look..."

Bella picked up the mobile phone with a broken screen from the ground, fiddled with it in her hand, but turned it on. It turned out that the thing was not completely broken, at least it could be used barely after it was connected to the charger.

Aaron took the phone, looked at the text message that the other party called, and the expression on his face couldn't help becoming more serious.

The message Bella's mother left her was very brief, only a few words:

There are monsters outside, don't go out!

"There are monsters outside, don't go out...?"

Aaron mulled this sentence over and over in his mouth, and felt that the whole thing was a little confusing for a while.

"If you look at it purely from this sentence, it means that the monster was probably outside your house at that time. Your parents encountered it when they first went out or when they came back..."

"Also, being able to have time for your mother to type those words shows that the monster didn't subdue her with a single blow. In other words, the monster's strength may not be too strong..."

Aaron paced back and forth in the living room, desperately trying to recall what kind of monster could behave in this way in the stories Grandfather Baal told him.

"Scythe Demon? No, no... Their methods are usually very cruel, and the sneak attack will solve the battle in an instant, so that it won't give Bei Na's parents a chance to send a text message..."

"Gluttony? It doesn't seem to be... These things are said to be extinct, and the people attacked by them will basically not leave any corpses..."

"Hmm... Could it be the thorn demon? It seems a bit like... They like to play pranks, and their strength is not very good. If it is such a low-level demon, it is really possible to make the victim react..."

Aaron thought for a while, and gradually got some clues, but he was still a little afraid to confirm it, so he asked Bella to take him to the scene of the crime to have a look.

The so-called crime scene is still uncertain at present. The police suspect that it is in the open space in front of their house, because it is here that the bodies of Bella's parents were found.

Bella didn't say anything about the details of the corpse, and it seemed that she didn't know much about it. After the police discovered it, they cleaned it up immediately.

According to Henry, the veteran police officer in charge of the case, the corpse has been highly decomposed after these days of storage. In order to protect Berna's mental health, they immediately burned it after conducting investigation and evidence collection, and will not give the victim The opportunity for the family to see the dead body in person.

Aaron imagined such a scene, and still felt a little uncomfortable psychologically.

Although he calls himself a demon hunter, he is also an out-and-out ordinary person.

He hadn't undergone any strict training, nor had he seen real horror. Even with his so-called fearless belief, he dared to look for monsters, but when faced with corpses of the same kind, he would still feel a little shy.

This may seem a bit contradictory, but in fact it fits well with his style of acting as a sophomore.

In the end, the two stayed in front of the small red house for a while. After looking at the scene on the ground, Aaron slowly expressed his inner guess.

"Maybe, I know what is causing the trouble, um... But I'm not 100% sure yet, I need to investigate again..."

When Bella heard his words, she immediately pricked up her ears and looked at the man in surprise.

He knows?Could it be that he didn't lie to me?Is he really a witcher?This efficiency is too high!
A series of thoughts emerged in Bella's mind, and she couldn't wait to ask about the details of the matter.

"Although I'm not sure yet, I'm almost [-]% sure. There may be more than one murderer who attacked your parents!"

"more than one!?"

Bella exclaimed.

"Yes, if I'm not wrong, the one who attacked your parents should be the Thorn Demon!"

Aaron nodded and explained solemnly.

"According to records, thorn demons are low-level demons. They usually live in groups and love to play tricks on weekdays. Individual thorn demons are not very strong, and ordinary adults can defeat them, but once they become Get together in groups, the degree of harm will be greatly increased, it is very dangerous!"

"These thorn demons like to play tricks. If they catch their prey, they usually don't kill them immediately, but torture them first, making them howl in pain. I'm afraid that's why your mother has the opportunity to send you an early warning text message The reason..."

When he said this, he also looked at Bella's face. Seeing that the other person's expression was blank, and then changed into a cold and angry expression, he couldn't help sighing slightly in his heart, and secretly said:

"It seems that my decision to come out to find and hunt monsters is correct. In those places that I don't know, how many people are suffering from the pain caused by monsters like this girl... No, I We must find the murderer as soon as possible, lest they do such a thing again!"

At this moment, Bei Na's face was extremely ugly. When she thought that her parents might have endured a lot of pain before they died, she couldn't help but feel sad and angry.

After a long while, she suppressed her anger and asked, "Aaron, thank you. Are you sure that the thorn demons are the murderers?"

Aaron nodded first, then shook his head, and said:
"No, I'm not sure, but I think it's very likely that they did this thing, look here..."

As he said, he squatted down and pointed to some marks on the ground.

"Here are the needles of some plants. This kind of needles should be on the pine trees. Generally speaking, the pine forest is one of the places where the thorn demon particularly likes to live."

"And look here, there are some very shallow small footprints here. Judging from the number, there should be more than seven or eight owners of these footprints, which undoubtedly fits their characteristics..."

Bella went over to take a look, and found that it was exactly as the other party said, and for a while, she also recognized what he said in her heart.

"These damned devils! Aaron, please, help me kill them! I will pay you! You can do whatever you want! As long as you help me kill these devils and avenge my parents!"
