The Laws of Werewolf Hunting

"Miss Lax!"

Clayton suddenly raised the volume: "I thought we had reached a consensus just now, if you continue to omit important content, then our cooperation will have to be terminated."

Donna sneaked a look at his face from the side, this was the first time she had seen her uncle look aggressive.

Adelaide Lacks was silent for a moment to Creighton:

"What do you want to know?"

"I suggest you explain what this necklace is about first?" Clayton pointed to her hand that was still holding the necklace. "I think if you had never actually seen the necklace, your fingers wouldn't be gripping so tightly."

"Now, please retell the story for us."

The girl in the water took a deep breath: "Okay. I see."

Clayton was unmoved by her resentment, and she had to reveal what she was hiding.

The necklace was made by the jeweler's son himself, in order to present it to Adelaide to express his heart, but on the last day, he ran into his best friend having a tryst with his sweetheart. When he strangled her, the necklace was thrown away. the ground on one side.

Adelaide didn't like to recall this period of the past, and when she said this part of the content, she looked distressed.

"I beg your pardon, but I have omitted these matters precisely to avoid your resentment,"

Clayton didn't understand what she meant, but Julius and Donna reacted immediately.

"The way you solved the curse turned out to be the use of the principle of contact, as well as the application of the boundaries of portraits." Julius blurted out.

Donna called out another word: "The law of retribution."

But what they were talking about was actually the same thing. After their advice, Creighton also understood why Adelaide wanted to hide this matter at this moment.

The portrait boundary means that things with similar shapes belong to the same category. The use of portraits and carved figures to curse others is a classic application of this rule. The doom jewelry was also engraved with Adelaide's portrait. as a part of her.

And the law of retribution that Donna talked about is explained by more classic examples-injured people speed up the healing of their wounds by breaking the weapon that hurt them, or the cursed person defeats the wizard who cursed him to lift the curse.

Adelaide undoes Creighton's luck anomaly by injuring herself and putting blood on the doom jewel.

The fact that this action can take effect shows that the ownership of this doom jewel belongs to her.

The two wizards pointed at Adelaide at the same time, ready to release the curse at any time.

Adelaide drifted back a little distance, but then stopped, and she smiled wryly: "You see, this is exactly the situation I'm worried about. I have to justify myself, and when I have to justify myself, after I get I also wanted to look for it after I was a freshman, but I couldn't."

If Clayton has a gun in his hand now, he must point it at her: "Everyone knows that the Water Fairy has extremely strong perception within the range where she lives. I don't believe your words."

"But it's true. It was a strange thing that was born with my death. It has a close connection with me, which also increases the difficulty for me to find it. Because I have the same feeling about this river. To be by the river Finding it is as difficult as finding the designated drop of blood in your own body."

"Then when it was picked up, you always felt the person who took it away?"

"Yes, but I dare not stop that person." Adelaide said: "He and his accomplices have a total of seven people, all carrying guns to dig in the swamp area, and there is almost no single time. At that time My strength is still too weak to lure him to the water's edge alone."

Clayton frowned:
"Do you know what they're doing?"

"They seem to be digging up swamp ancient corpses, or something of value, but I don't know why they're so sure there's such things in the swamp at Revo."

The medicinal value of human corpses is clearly regulated in the medical school. If the mummies of Maisley are the most valuable, then the mainland’s native swamp ancient corpses can also rank third, and they also have ritual magic uses. The group of tomb robbers on Easter Island The thief came here to expand his business, and Clayton could understand it.

He signaled the two "followers" to relax their vigilance.

"I see, you continue to tell what happened after the monster appeared."

"The monster came from behind us and grabbed us tightly with its claws. We thought we were going to die, but we struggled desperately to slow down the process of being dragged away. Danny took the opportunity to shoot it. The gun, missed, and the monster seemed surprised too, and put us down when it was aimed."

As she spoke, Clayton made a mental note—only Danny had faced the monster head-on, and the monster knew guns and was a highly intelligent creature.

But this information is for reference only. Even if Adelaide has no subjective willingness to lie, her tense attitude may make her remember badly.

"...we ran a little distance, and the monster chased after it again. Its footsteps were very loud and hurried. Even if I didn't look at it, I knew it was running much faster than us. When I was almost unable to run , Sevan pushed me forward from behind, but we both knew there was no way to escape. Danny knew it too, so he turned around and fired another shot at Sevan, letting the monster grab him and pull I keep running."

"When we were sure the monster wouldn't come after him, he stopped and asked me what to do next. I told him I was going back to save Sewan, and he killed me. I woke up thinking Revenge, but others must be warned first, so I tricked the doctor into taking my gift to Rhevo, a phonograph conch in which I stored some beasts that were unlikely to appear in the town to let everyone know that a monster is approaching."

"And Danny knows the rules of Mizusawa Fairy's recovery, but he didn't think so much when he killed me. I hope he will think of me after hearing that unusual voice, whether he chooses to escape or come back to me , I can find a chance to kill him.”

Adelaide's tone became more and more calm, but this was not because she had already seen it, but because her excessive restraint wiped out other emotions.

She didn't want to appear weak in front of outsiders.

The natural environment by the river is so quiet, so the sound of Donna's sniffing seems a bit harsh at this moment.

Noticing that Clayton was looking at her, she covered her face and stopped making a sound.

But this can't dispel the touch in Donna's heart. All the misfortunes she has heard may not be more unfortunate than the one that Adelaide suffered alone. Only such tragedies can give birth to such strange things as doom jewels!
Clayton did not accuse his niece of being weak, because he was also touched, but more rationality made him pay more attention to the details in the story.

"How long was it between the time Danny fired the first shot and the second shot?"

"Probably. I can't think of a minute." Adelaide recalled.

"In less than 1 minute, he used a flintlock pistol, but he didn't look like a person who had been trained to load, and he was still running"

Clayton quickly came to a conclusion: "It's probably not a coincidence that he met you, because he had at least two guns on him at the time, and maybe before you met the monster, he had already planned to make a decision with you." .”

If it is only for hunting, most people will not carry two guns, and the weight will affect the hunter's actions in the jungle.

Ordinary beasts, even with sharp teeth and fangs, will run away in fear after hearing the gunshot. The situation that requires two guns is only to deal with creatures that recognize guns.

He didn't think Danny made a special trip to deal with monsters. Most people wouldn't go crazy like this, so the jeweler's son could only use two guns to deal with Sewan.Maybe it was for a fair duel, maybe it was used to make up the shot after the first shot went wrong, in short, his malice has been confirmed.

Adelaide didn't change his expression when he heard Creighton's judgment.

In any case, Danny was dead, and any calculation would be an insignificant addition to the loathsome tombstone.

"Did you ever meet that monster again?" Creighton pressed her.

The Water Fairy shook her head: "No, I waited here for a long time, but it never showed up again, and I couldn't even find the bloodstains left by Sevan, maybe they have left Rewo. So I want to go along the river Search all the way. There are very few places to fetch water near here, as long as the monster cannot enter the city to fetch water, it must go to the river to drink, and if this continues, I will definitely find it.”

She had a good point, but Clayton wasn't impressed with her options.

He asked her: "Miss Adelaide, do you know 'that beast'?"

Adelaide Lacks asked blankly: "Sorry, I don't know which one you are referring to?"

Seeing her reaction, Clayton made sure of one more thing—the water fairy died too early, she died before the "beast disaster" in Rewo, and after the "beast" raged, people Due to safety considerations, the activities of leaving the town were reduced. Even if a small number of people ventured to the river, it was impossible to mention this matter to themselves, so Adelaide still knew nothing about the existence of the "beast".

Donna coughed twice, drawing Adelaide's attention to herself.

"Miss Adelaide, when that monster grabbed you, did you feel what its claws looked like?"

Adelaide answered her question very formally: "I feel that half of my shoulder is wrapped by its paw, which is covered with a layer of rough black bristles, but there are distinct joints underneath, like human hand."

This answer surprised all three of them.

Although the leathermaker's palm is also human-like, there is no hair on it. It is more like ten awls with ten needles inserted into it.

Adelaide's description of the claw was closer to a werewolf.
