Be a werewolf

Chapter 12: First Meeting, My Name is Xixue Gui

The people in the organization watched the video again.

Li Bo spoke and pointed to the screen. The video had no sound.

"How do you see it?"

"The boy looks fine. But did his contact lenses stick to his eyes?"

While Rao Tian visited the research center, Li Bo checked his movements. He saw that Rao Tian had not gone to any comic conventions.

Li Bo put a camera badge on Rao Tian to watch him closely.

"If Rao Tian had not stayed calm and acted quickly, the Wolf Hunting Team would have been eaten by the werewolf."

"This werewolf is smarter and more tricky than we thought. It even knows how to destroy cameras."

"In a few days, experts from higher-ups will arrive. They are Li Xian’s brother."

Li Bo waved the letter in his hand. This was the letter Rao Tian gave them this afternoon.

"Is it the famous Lu Shan?"

Rao Tian woke up the next day at noon. He looked at the white ceiling. He felt the wolf’s tail in his pants.

He lay in a bed on the eighth floor. His body still hurt a little.

Other members of the Wolf Hunting Team lay in the same room. They were still unconscious.

"You were badly hurt yesterday. But you should be able to leave this afternoon."

"Before you leave, go to the second basement floor and report." The nurse on the eighth floor said.

Rao Tian covered his head. The tail moved under the blanket.

He had a strange dream last night. It was like a game character’s panel.

There was information about him on it.

"What is this?"

Rao Tian thought it was an odd dream. But it was only number seven on his list of strange dreams.

He looked at his profile. There were three buttons: Traits, Skills, and Items.

His traits were "Intimidation" and "Self-Healing."

His skills were:

Hold Breath and Stealth LV1: Hold your breath to become invisible. Cooldown: 10 seconds.

Werewolf Shift LV2: More stable than lower levels. Less likely to shift involuntarily. You can change parts of your body instead of the whole form.

He had one item: a mask that lets him disguise as someone else, with limits.

Rao Tian noticed his skill slots had only five spaces. It looked like he could move the "Hold Breath and Stealth" skill to another slot.

The "Werewolf Shift" skill had a lock symbol.

Is this what happens when you think about something during the day and dream about it at night?

After Zhang Yan ran away last night, she returned to her vampire master’s castle.

The huge castle stood tall on the land. It looked old, like it had survived for thousands of years. The place felt mysterious.

The stone walls and sharp towers seemed like the home of ancient vampires.

Shadows moved inside the castle under the moonlight, like ghosts wandering around.

But it was just a replica castle in Sad Valley.

Xixue Gui sat on the throne, holding a glass of red wine.

His long black hair fell down, and his pale skin had no color. His red eyes glowed under the moon.

The blue pendant on his chest sparkled like a gem. It made him look noble, like a sickly, twisted vampire in a movie.

At that moment, he stared at Zhang Yan, who knelt on the floor, with anger in his eyes.

"Where is the task I gave you, Zhang Yan? How dare you come back injured?"

Xixue Gui’s voice was cold. His pupils narrowed, showing his anger.

"Master, I only..."

Zhang Yan’s voice trembled with fear.

"Useless people always make excuses. Give me a punishment. Show me your attitude."

Xixue Gui’s words were cruel.

Zhang Yan shook in fear. She knew Xixue Gui’s temper.

The other servants in the castle silently mourned for Zhang Yan. They knew what would happen to her.

Once, a servant brought the wrong blood. Xixue Gui killed him in front of Zhang Yan.

That horrifying moment would stay with Zhang Yan forever. Even if she became free, it would be a nightmare.

Xixue Gui was once a normal person, but he became a demon. His twisted mind changed him.

He summoned bats that could possess normal people, turning them into blood servants.

After enjoying Zhang Yan’s fear, Xixue Gui spoke slowly. His voice sounded like it came from hell.

"Forget it, the plan isn’t completely ruined. There is still one task left for you."

"If I see another failure, you know what will happen."

"Yes, yes. Thank you, Master, for sparing my life. I will risk my life to finish your task."

Zhang Yan knelt on the floor, thanking him over and over, as if she had been spared.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud noise sounded. Xixue Gui was startled. He spilled some wine from his glass.

A shield had been thrown into the wall, showing the strength of the person who threw it.

"I’m going hunting. Stay here and kneel until I come back."

Xixue Gui threw away his glass. He jumped off the balcony and turned into bats, disappearing into the night.

Rao Tian didn’t find any mask-like items near him.

He pulled back his tail and got out of bed to use the bathroom. He took off his colored contacts. His eyes were normal again.

"Good, good. If I still had these contacts, they might tie me up and remove them forcibly."

"Looks like the dream was real. It seems I’ve leveled up a little."

Rao Tian held his breath.

He saw his reflection in the mirror. It seemed to be staring back at him.

What’s happening? I was supposed to be invisible. Does this skill only work in werewolf form?

Rao Tian didn’t want to test it now.

He thought his disguise was good enough. Last night, he even tricked the organization with a knife.

He didn’t want to have any more contact with them to avoid revealing his "wolf marks."

After a C-level mental evaluation, Rao Tian left the hospital room and headed for the second basement floor.

…

He opened the door and bumped into Li Xian. He fell into her arms.

"Hey, Rao, why are you on the eighth floor? Aren’t you wearing sunglasses?"

Here it comes again. That strange feeling, like bloodline suppression.

"I was injured during a mission with the team."

"Ah, you’re part of the team too? What a coincidence."

"Now, you should go to the second basement floor to report. My brother is coming to the organization today."

"Let’s go together. My brother is amazing."

Li Xian, usually calm, was now talking non-stop.

Li Xian picked up the contact lens case that Rao Tian dropped.

"So you like colored contacts too? I like purple ones, and our styles are similar."

"Is that so?"

After a while, Li Xian stopped talking and asked Rao Tian:

"Rao Tian, do you believe in werewolves?"

Huh? What’s happening?

Rao Tian didn’t know how to answer.
