"That night, the moonlight was bright and clear. It was a rare scenery for Eiders, many people looked at the bright moon through their windows.
So, most of the people in Eiders saw the moment when the bright moon turned scarlet. "
"The Blood Moon!"
Wier took a deep breath before he spat out the word. Then, his voice turned heavy.
"According to the records, every time the Blood Moon appears, it's a bad omen!
"This time will be no exception!"
From that day onwards, the bastards hiding in the dark started to make their moves. The nights in Eiders became more dangerous than ever.
You've seen it before, the Ghouls' handiwork. "
Wier then looked at Kieran.
"Ghouls?"
Kieran unconsciously thought of the woman whose limbs, torso, and organs were all devoured.
"That's right, those bastards.
They have treated the whole of Eiders as their hunting ground.
Not only did they attack without restraint, but … "
"There's some unknown bastard supporting them from the back!
Otherwise, with those bastards' brains, they wouldn't have come up with such a meticulous' vanishing plan '. We haven't found their lair until now. "
Wier clenched his fists uncontrollably.
For anyone who lived in Eiders, the Ghouls were existences that had to be eliminated.
Unlike the other monsters that might live in peace with humans, the Ghouls who fed on humans were destined to be enemies!
As a matter of fact, a long time ago, Eiders had launched a destructive attack on the Ghouls.
After that incident, the Ogres completely disappeared from people's sight, only appearing again this time.
They had become more dangerous than ever.
Because they had the mastermind that planned and strategized for them.
"What about the 'snitch'?"
"When did his theft happen?"
Kieran asked the question that concerned him the most.
"It was the first day before the Blood Moon!
Besides, we have enough evidence to prove that the Blood Moon that day is closely related to the stolen item by the 'snitch'. "
Wier didn't just give a definite answer, he also revealed an important clue.
"How do you prove it?"
Kieran followed the clue.
"I can't tell you the truth."
"That lord's identity is a secret."
Will shook his head.
"This is different from our previous agreement."
Kieran narrowed his eyes.
"That was not part of our agreement. I will tell you everything I know, but the Lord is not part of it."
"She is special."
"I've never met that lord."
"But I believe in that lord's orders."
"Because she has never made a mistake."
Even when he mentioned her, Will's expression was respectful.
Kieran, on the other hand, paid attention to other aspects.
For example: Her!
Women!
He had never made a mistake.
Kieran noticed Wier's choice of words.
When these elements were combined, Kieran naturally thought of Wu.
The temporary collaborator who had divination abilities.
"Will it be you?"
Kieran muttered to himself.
At the same time, Kieran didn't give up on questioning Wier. After making sure Wier didn't know more, Kieran took out a piece of paper and passed it to Wier.
On the piece of paper, a black ink pen wrote: Aemon Road 17th.
It was an address in Eiders.
It was very close to the dorm, 5 minutes on foot and 1 minute if they sprinted.
"Gather up, move out!"
Will shouted. The Special Ops members who had rushed over due to the commotion quickly appeared in the hallway. They followed Will and rushed towards their destination.
Mier was also in the group.
Although she was hesitant, her duty still won her over.
However, when they were about to walk out of the dorm lobby, the young lady called out to Kieran again.
"I'll find you at night."
Her words naturally attracted the attention of the people around her.
They were either shocked or amused at Mier.
But Mier didn't care.
Instinctively, they looked at Kieran who was standing at the entrance of the lobby.
His cold face didn't show any expression, but his deep eyes brought extreme pressure to everyone who looked at him.
Once they thought about the possible identity of the Monster Hunter, they wisely gave up on teasing him.
Mier wasn't the only one who knew about the legend of the Monster Hunter. For those who dealt with monsters, the legend of the Monster Hunter was very familiar to them.
Especially the two traits of the Monster Hunter, they were fresh in their memories.
First, they were powerful.
Second, they didn't follow the rules.
The strong ones allowed them to be successful when hunting monsters, and the latter was hated by the rulers of every land.
They wouldn't care about the rules you set up, only following the rules in their hearts.
So, those who didn't want to be beaten up for no reason knew what to do.
As for challenging the Monster Hunter?
As long as their brains weren't broken, they wouldn't do it.
Although they were very powerful in the eyes of commoners, plus they were equipped with all kinds of special weapons, they wouldn't back down in the face of vicious monsters.
However, compared to the Monster Hunter, they were still too far apart.
At the very next moment, the gap between them was revealed again.
Under their gazes, Kieran disappeared just like that.
Many of the Spec Ops members widened their eyes.
"H-How is this possible?"
A lot of them cried out in shock.
They knew the gap between them and the Monster Hunter, but they never thought it would be so far apart that they couldn't even see the Monster Hunter's movements clearly.
Mier looked at her team members and curled her lips into a grin. Her face was filled with pride and delight.
It was as if she was the one who did it.
Wier frowned.
He didn't want to see this scene.
Whether it was his granddaughter or his team members, he didn't want to be affected by the Monster Hunter too much.
Thus, the old man immediately let out a loud shout.
"Hurry up!"
The team quieted down right away, only the sound of their footsteps rubbing against the ground could be heard.
Aemon Street appeared in front of the group.
Their destination, 17th Aemon Road, was within reach.
…
Tik Tok, Tik Tok.
Blood flowed out from the crisscrossed wounds on Smith's body, dripping on the ground.
The deepest gash was so deep that one could clearly see his organs wriggling.
For a normal man, it would be a fatal wound.
But Smith was still alive.
He was breathing weakly as he was hung up.
Bang!
The cell door further away was pushed open and a tall Blood Kin walked in.
It looked at Smith with an arrogant gaze.
"A lowly bastard," it commented.
It commented on Smith.
"Hmph."
Smith seemed to have heard the comment. He chuckled and spat the blood in his mouth at Smith with all his might.
Pui!
The blood didn't land on the Blood Kin.
The moment Smith spat out the blood, the Blood Kin moved its body to the side.
Pak!
The blood splashed on the ground.
The Blood Kin looked at Smith with disdain.
"This is your counterattack?
Weak and powerless.
It matches your identity as a bastard very well.
A bastard like you wants to return to your family? "
The Blood Kin said arrogantly, like a giant looking down on a worm beneath his feet.
"Hmph."
Another chuckle.
Although Smith didn't die after going through a lot of interrogation, his heavy injuries didn't allow him to speak anymore.
Replying with a chuckle was already his best effort.
"Are you still hoping for the benevolence of the clan's elders?"
Or … "
"You think what you have is the turning point for you to return to your family?
"You're really delusional!"
The Blood Kin looked at Smith, who was hung up there, and decided to give Smith deeper despair.
The heart that was dug out from the despair would be more powerful.
As the reward this time, the Blood Kin wouldn't let it go easily.
Therefore, it threw out its trump card.
"I've sent my men to your house.
When they come back with the thing, it will be the time of your death.
"Aren't you surprised? Why are my men heading to your house? "
"That's because …"
"From the beginning to the end, the Elder Council didn't even know about your existence.
Are you surprised? "
The Blood Kin's pale face showed a malicious smile. It raised its hand and signaled its men further away to turn the capstan.
Smith, who was hung up, was lowered to an angle suitable for the Blood Kin to make its move.
However, the Blood Kin didn't make its move.
It saw the smile.
Smith, who should have fallen into despair, smiled.
It wasn't a fake smile!
It was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart!
"What are you smiling at?"
The Blood Kin shouted.
Smith didn't answer, but the smile on his face got brighter.
He tried his best to look up at the Blood Kin who thought it had everything under control.
Of course, he knew what the Blood Kin was up to.
From the moment he chose the Blood Kin as his breakthrough point, he had a clear understanding of the Blood Kin's character and style of doing things. His efforts weren't in vain.
The greedy and repetitive Blood Kin acted according to plan.
His goal was achieved.
That child could be saved, right?
I'm sorry.
I dragged you into such a dangerous situation, I hope you can forget about this tragedy and start afresh.
When Smith thought of the child, his eyes couldn't help but show a faint sense of warmth.
As a mixed-blood Blood Kin and human, bastard was the word he heard the most since he was young. Even after he escaped from that place, he knew he had to hide his identity.
Otherwise …
The Blood Kin would never accept a 'family member' with human blood.
Humans would also never accept a stranger with Blood Kin blood.
Hiding like this was extremely hard.
He rejected all kindness.
He didn't know what was real and what was fake among the kindness.
In the end, he became a quiet fireman.
It was what his mother hoped for.
Even though his mother had passed away when he was very young, thanks to his ability, he remembered everything clearly.
It was also because of his abilities that he managed to escape from his family.
Just when Smith thought his life would continue peacefully, a mother and daughter moved in next door.
The mother was young and the daughter was young.
In order to make a living, the young mother worked hard every day. The daughter spent most of her time at home and would occasionally follow the mother in the corridor.
Smith and the mother and daughter often walked past each other.
At first, it was strange and scary.
His reticence caused the other party to shrink back.
But as the number of times they met increased, his silence became a habit.
They started to talk to him, but he was as quiet as ever.
Until one time, when a few guys with bad intentions came close, he couldn't hold back anymore and made a move. After chasing those bastards away, admiration appeared in their eyes. At night, they brought him some food — it was the best they could offer.
It was also the most delicious food in his memory.
A meal shortened the distance between them.
He was still a man of few words.
But then, the corner of his mouth started to curl up.
The change surprised the people around him, but no one delved deeper.
Most people only cared about themselves.
The discovery made him heave a sigh of relief. The corner of his mouth started to curl up even more. In a group photo, he unconsciously showed an expression that was known as a smile.
He felt happy.
But this happiness was suddenly cut short by the bad news.
His young daughter went missing at home.
No sound.
Not a single clue.
The police were at their wits' end.
When he rushed back to the house, he saw his young mother on the brink of collapse. Somehow, he felt heartache. It was the pain he felt when he remembered his mother.
He walked over to her. He gave his promise.
He would bring his daughter back.
He knew what was going on.
How could he forget the lingering smell of the Blood Kin in the room?
He started to work hard to fulfill his promise in a hurry.
He knew time was limited, those bastards wouldn't keep the food for too long.
At this time, the Blood Moon appeared, and the things that followed made him quickly think of a risky plan.
Everything was going so smoothly.
The only unfortunate thing was …
He couldn't see them anymore.
"May … May you two be carefree and happy."
As he muttered to himself softly like a mosquito, Smith slowly lowered his head.
He had run out of strength.
Dak, Dak, Dak.
Sprinting footsteps were getting closer.
"My lord! My lord!
We've been tricked! "
The shouts of its subordinates infuriated the Blood Kin, and when it realized that its two subordinates had been killed, it was so angry that it raised its hand to grab Smith's heart, but when it touched Smith, its hand grabbed Smith's neck instead.
"Tell me!
That thing is there! "
The Blood Kin roared.
Smith, whose life was fading away, couldn't answer.
"Before we get the whereabouts of that thing, you bastard can't die!"
The Blood Kin felt its life fading away, it turned around to look for food.
However, just as it turned around, a hand came out from the shadows and grabbed its neck.
Kak!
