  Chapter 38 An Unexpected Encounter with a Werewolf

  Lin Xue worked in this store for five days, and also observed silently for five full days.

   However, she has yet to find any trace of the Hooded Man.

  As for the American Shorthair, she has touched it many times recently, checked it with her own hands, and fed it with her own hands. She even secretly picked up a piece of its feces and went back to test the composition.

  The results turned out to be nothing unusual. All signs showed that this was a very normal American Shorthair cat. At least in terms of the identity of a cat, there was nothing wrong with it.

   The only weird thing about it is that this cat is smart, very smart! When Lin Xue fed it several times, she even felt that it was not a cat, but a child with intelligence...

Xiaoya turned her head to look at Lin Xue strangely, and said seriously: "Sister Xue, first of all, I want to correct you, he is also your boss! Secondly...the boss is really a bit strange recently..." Xiaoya said, and she also frowned. frown.

   "Oh? What's so strange?" Lin Xue asked.

   "I can't say it, but I always feel that the boss's recent actions are a bit unnatural, and he has become distracted..." Xiaoya frowned and thought about it seriously.

  She and Mu You have worked together for more than two years and are very familiar with each other. Some extremely subtle changes in Mu You's body may not even be felt by him, but she can immediately notice them.

   "God is talking... So what has changed specifically that made you think this way?" Lin Xue insisted on asking.

"A lot!" Xiaoya blurted out, and after thinking for a while, she said mysteriously: "For example, one time, I saw the boss reading seriously at the front desk, and he didn't hear me when I called him, so I went over to look at it. After a while, it turned out that the book the boss was holding was actually a book called "Harry Potter's Magical Spells and Spells"!"

   "Magic..."

  Lin Xue had a strange expression on her face. She never thought of this answer.

   "Okay, let's not talk about this, the boss doesn't know when he will come back, let's get off work first." Xiaoya breathed out, stretched her arms and stretched her muscles and bones.

"good."

  Then the two simply cleaned up and went out together.

  Xiaoya locked the gate, pulled down the shutter door with the hook, clapped her hands, and looked back, Lin Xue was still standing on the side of the road not far away.

   "By the way, sister Xue, I don't know where you live?"

   "My home is in Shibei District."

   "Oh... ah? Shishibei?"

  Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Xue in surprise: "It's very far away, it takes more than two hours by subway... Do you want to take a taxi back?"

   "No, someone is coming to pick me up." Lin Xue shook her head.

   "Oh, that's good..." Xiaoya nodded repeatedly, her eyes wandering, and she really wanted to gossip about who would pick her up, whether it was her boyfriend or something.

   At this moment, a car coming from the side parked precisely on the side of the road in front of the two of them.

  A short-haired woman in a deacon uniform got off the driver's seat and opened the door of the back seat: "Miss!"

"See you tomorrow!"

  Lin Xue greeted Xiaoya with a smile, and sat in the back seat of the car.

  The car started quickly and drove away.

   "Tomorrow...see you tomorrow..."

  Xiaoya stood there petrified, waving her hands dully.

   It wasn't until the car was far away that she shuddered, and then she realized that she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and checked the familiar and unfamiliar car logo she saw just now.

  The reason why she is familiar with this car is because she has seen this car in a popular urban drama that she followed recently. The car logo with this advertisement was shot many times, which impressed her very much.

   And unfamiliar because she has never seen this car logo in reality.

   Check at this time, and sure enough...

   "Maserati Butterfly, the same model as the heroine of "Life and Death in the Moonlight", priced at... 10.99 million..."

  Xiaoya stared at the information displayed on the phone dumbfounded, and the fingers holding the phone couldn't help trembling.

  She is a rural girl who dropped out of high school and came to work, and she is actually a colleague of a young lady who drives a tens of millions of luxury cars... and she said see you tomorrow...

  Is she dreaming?

  …

   On the other side, Mu You left the pet shop and did not go directly to the community where the incident occurred.

   Instead, he wandered outside for a while, and after it was completely dark, he found an empty corner, curled up his muscles, switched to a tall, slapstick skin, and put on an invisibility cloak.

  Holding the mithril bow and pumpkin lantern in his hand, after making all the preparations, Mu You went to the 'Hongwan Community'.

   All the way to find the building No. 39 that Xiaoya mentioned, and sure enough, it has been closed.

  A large blockade was pulled around, and there were three policemen on duty at the door, and no one was allowed to approach this side.

  By taking advantage of his invisibility, Mu You quietly climbed over the blockade, bypassed the police, and entered the residential building.

  This building is 22 stories high, and all the residents in the building have been removed, and seals have been pasted on each floor.

   Mu You went up to the 20th floor before finally finding the crime scene.

  In front of the door of the room in 2005, a pool of dark red and dried blood was so dazzling that it was hard not to notice it.

  There were two police officers on duty at the door of the room on this floor, and the two just blocked the door, so Mu You couldn't get in, so he had to wait first.

  A moment later, while the two policemen were changing shifts for dinner, he seized the opportunity to sneak into the house.

  The corpse in the room had already been moved, but the traces and fixed lines left on the ground clearly showed him the situation of the victim at that time.

   Judging from the outline of the corpse, the victim is undoubtedly a woman. The wound should be at the throat, and it looks like she was cut through the throat with a sharp weapon and died.

  But based on this alone, it is still impossible to judge whether a werewolf committed the crime.

  Mu You approached some corpse lines, turned on the jack-o-lantern, and quietly searched nearby.

   Under the reflection of the cyan dust, some traces invisible to the naked eye appeared on the ground, such as footprints and fingerprints!

  Mu You immediately noticed the edge of the closet on one side of the room, there was a tiny handprint, or 'paw print'! Because at the edge of those five fingers, five extremely sharp nails are connected! There is no doubt that this is definitely not a trace that can be rubbed by human hands!

  The werewolf is correct!

   Mu You confirmed this, but his heart was even heavier.

   Could it be that this is really the room of the 'little girl' in the game?

  Strictly speaking, he and the 'little girl' don't actually know each other, and they haven't spoken a serious word in the game.

   But after all, they are players from the same camp, and their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. The fate of this little girl may also herald his future fate...

   Shaking his head, Mu You picked up the lantern and continued to search, and soon found new traces.

   Around the corpse on the ground, there are a large number of footprints densely covered, including those of werewolves, some of the victim himself, and some of the police. They are mixed together and are extremely difficult to identify.

   But what Mu You noticed was that not far from the corpse, there was a footprint extending abruptly from this 'footprint pile', walking straight towards the window.

   This footprint is not too big, about 34 yards, it should not be the foot of an adult man, but more like that of a woman or a child.

  Mu You chased the footprints all the way to the window, and found that the footprints turned out to have stepped on the window sill, and then disappeared...

   "What do you mean? Someone jumped out of the window? This is more than twenty floors, even a werewolf would not dare to jump directly..."

   Mu You stretched out his head strangely to take a look. Just beside the window is a drainage pipe, which is directly connected to the water storage tank on the roof.

   "Could it be that he climbed to the roof along the pipe?" Mu You was not sure.

   Searched the house again, but there was still no trace of any player. Besides, even if there are any props left by the players, they must have been taken away by werewolves long ago.

   Before the police on duty came back, Mu You decided to go upstairs to have a look.

  Going straight up the stairs, Mu You took out his wand, used the Unlocking Charm to unlock the door on the roof, and stepped onto the roof of the building.

  It was getting late at this time, and it was pitch black on the rooftop.

   Mu You walked to the reservoir on the roof and searched around.

   Sure enough, another set of footprints was found!

   But what surprised Mu You was that this line of footprints was much larger than the one in the house just now, and it didn't look like a person's.

   "What's going on?"

   Mu You couldn't help frowning, why are the clues on the scene getting more and more bizarre?

  But he has found this place, so he must not back down.

   Mu You continued to follow the footprints, walked a long way along the wall, and finally turned around the corner of a stone platform in front of him... Ugh!

   Mu You suddenly froze. The scene behind the corner made his pupils shrink suddenly, and his hair stood on end!

   A half-man, half-wolf creature huddled in the corner!

  Grey fur, sharp fangs, covered in blood, and a burn-like wound on his left arm is constantly oozing blood.

  While the werewolf licked the wound to stop the bleeding, he scanned the surrounding vigilantly with his eyes emitting a faint and fierce light.

  The werewolf seemed to have never expected that someone would suddenly appear in front of him. One person and one wolf passed through a corner, and when they encountered each other unexpectedly, they were all taken aback.

   "My day!"

   This is the first time Mu You saw a real werewolf in reality, it was much uglier than imagined, and he only felt a chill go straight to the sky.

  Invisibility cloak?

   No, this kind of thing is okay to fool ordinary people, but in front of a high-level player, at such a close distance, just the sound of breathing is enough to reveal his position!

   Without any hesitation, Mu You retreated immediately, and at the same time quickly reached for the pocket watch in his pocket with his right hand.

   It's a pity that the werewolf moves faster!

   "Phew!"

  A sound of piercing through the air sounded, and the last one came first.

  Mu You only felt a pain in his right shoulder.

  A hook pierced his right shoulder, just enough to stop him reaching for his pocket watch.

   Then, a huge force came, pulling him back suddenly.

Turning his body in the air, Mu You vaguely saw that the werewolf in the corner was pulling the chain claw in his hand with one hand, while the other hand was raised high. In that hand, he was holding a handful of chopped bones covered in blood and minced meat. knife!
