Be a werewolf

Chapter 13: The First Meeting with the Arch-Nemesis

Li Xian thought about the situation. Since Rao Tian was also in the organization, she realized there was no need to hide anything.

Maybe there were other feelings. They were both 18 years old.

"Actually, I lied to you that day. I’m sorry. The wound on my right shoulder was caused by a werewolf’s claws."

"I dealt with wolves a lot when I lived in the village. They kill livestock and hurt villagers."

"That day, I was scratched by a wolf. I bled a lot and almost died."

"If I see that wolf again, I will cut off its limbs, skin it, boil its bones, and cook its meat."

"Achoo!"

"Are you okay?"

"I’m cold. I’m wearing too little."

Rao Tian felt uneasy. He had done nothing wrong, but Li Xian’s words made him nervous.

He wondered: If she knew his true identity, how would she react?

This thought made him more determined to keep his identity hidden.

"Ah? By the way, do you want to try some wolf jerky from our village? It helps with the cold and is very good for you."

"I’m allergic to wolf meat."

Rao Tian didn’t know if eating it would make him sick or infect him with prion disease.

"Really? That’s too bad. By the way, my brother is a famous wolf hunter in our village."

"He killed 100 wolves in a year. If he targets a wolf, it can’t escape."

Rao Tian started to sweat. He wasn’t sure if Li Xian was exaggerating.

"He will be the technical advisor for the wolf-hunting team and help catch this werewolf."

Li Xian seemed lost in thought. She looked serious.

"..." "My brother didn’t care about this at first. But when he heard I almost died because of a werewolf, he packed up right away."

"He traveled long distances to the village and swore to tear that werewolf apart."

"I’ve been meaning to ask. Why do you and your brother hate wolves so much?"

Rao Tian was confused. He thought there must be a deeper reason for their hatred.

When Li Xian heard the question, her smile disappeared. She became cold.

"It’s just the restless spirits of wolves’ claws," she said flatly.

"But you, Rao Tian... You almost died yesterday, and now you ask me that?"

Li Xian glanced at the bandages on his arm. Her tone grew serious.

"As for wolves, I don’t want to say more. And werewolves are worse. They are demons from hell. They shouldn’t exist."

"Or was your wound caused by a branch? Did I remember wrong?"

Li Xian pointed at him, her voice full of sarcasm.

"..." The elevator doors opened. Li Bo was talking to a strange man.

This man was tall and imposing. He had the presence of a general.

He was about eight feet tall, with strong muscles.

His face was sharp, and his eyes were piercing.

His skin was dark, with scars that showed his experience.

It was clear. This was Lu Shan.

Thinking about him capturing him made Rao Tian sweat.

"Brother!"

Li Xian rushed out of the elevator and hugged her brother.

Lu Shan opened his arms and hugged her back.

Rao Tian stepped out, unsure if he should speak.

Lu Shan, holding his sister, stared at Rao Tian with sharp eyes.

Rao Tian felt a chill. His blood felt cold.

"Rao Tian, you’re here. Let me introduce you. This is Lu Shan. He’s a top member from the provincial demon-hunting bureau."

Li Bo quickly introduced Lu Shan when he saw Rao Tian approach.

"Oh, who’s this?" (raising an eyebrow) (Lu Shan)

"This is Rao Tian. He’s impressive. Yesterday, he protected the whole team!"

"I plan to recruit him into the organization."

Li Bo patted Rao Tian’s shoulder, praising him.

"Inviting the wolf into the house."

Lu Shan suddenly said something strange, making Rao Tian’s heart skip a beat.

"What?"

Li Bo didn’t understand at first.

"I... I was reciting idioms and fell asleep. It just slipped out."

Lu Shan said, with no emotion.

He leaned forward and stared at Rao Tian’s face.

"Rao Tian, do you believe in werewolves?"

...

Rao Tian almost panicked.

"I saw a werewolf yesterday. It attacked me. Why are you asking me that, Brother Lu?"

"I don’t know. The moment I saw you, I felt curious. My gut tells me you’re hiding something."

Rao Tian wanted to turn into a werewolf and run away.

"Don’t be afraid, Rao Tian. Lu Shan is like this with everyone. He likes messing with people’s heads." Li Bo said.

"Yeah, Rao Tian. I question everyone. Fortunately, the video from yesterday proves you weren’t there."

Lu Shan seemed to enjoy playing "Werewolf," the thrill of hunting... If he caught a wolf, he’d go after the priest.

"So, Lu Shan, how do you plan to catch this werewolf?" Rao Tian asked.

"I’ll check all the stray dogs in the city tomorrow. Then, I’ll do a surprise check-up the day after."

"If these steps don’t work, we can rule out some options."

"Then we’ll narrow our search, set traps, and finally catch it. That’s my method," Lu Shan explained.

"From what we’ve analyzed, we should focus on searching during the day."

"I saw how well you did yesterday. Do you want to join our wolf-hunting team? There are benefits and bonuses."

"No, I’m just an ordinary person. I got involved because of Sister Wang.

"I don’t want to face those monsters.

"Mr. Li, I’ve finished my report. I’m leaving now. I just want to live a peaceful life. I don’t want to join the organization."

Under the pressure of Lu Shan’s presence, Rao Tian didn’t want to stay any longer.
