Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Werewolf Village 9
According to the ga rules, a villager would turn into a werewolf each night.
The little girl’s mother happened to transform into a werewolf—this made sense, but Bai Youwei felt an increasing sense of strangeness, as if she had missed sothing—or mistaken sothing?
Her gaze moved from the woman on the ground to the house—
Red roof, white walls, surrounded by a small courtyard with beans and scallions planted within.
She saw the face of a little girl behind the glass window; the girl was staring ominously at the pleading woman on the ground, her mouth corners gradually rising, then stretching wide… Although it was just a cherry-like small mouth, it stretched larger and larger, beaming ecstatically, almost to the back of her ears, like the village chief.
Bai Youwei felt a chill in her heart!
Just as she thought to tell Shen Mo, the face behind the window flashed by and vanished.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Mo noticed her unease and asked softly.
“That little girl…” Bai Youwei breathed slowly, replying softly, “the one who was playing with a ball by the well, chased out of the house by her mother, and then encountered again in the square… I saw her, she was smiling.”
Shen Mo slightly furrowed his brows and looked toward the house.
Through the window, he only saw simple furniture.
At this mont, the crowd had turned chaotic, shoving and cursing; soone brought rough ropes from ho, tying the woman tight, coil by coil!
They shouted loudly, “Burn her! Burn her!”
The woman wept bitterly: “I don’t know! I really don’t know anything! … I woke up to find myself at the bedside, covered in blood, on the floor, I don’t know…”
Hans demanded her life in return, the villagers despised the werewolf imnsely, while the village chief only wanted to calm things down quickly.
Everyone was noisy, pushing the woman toward the square, ignoring her cries and struggles.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo hung back, having no interest in watching a live burning.
When the crowd had moved off, Bai Youwei and Shen Mo entered the woman’s house—
The air still carried a faint sll of blood; the house was larger than their empty dwelling, with several rooms, but it was extrely ssy, the floor had several smudges of blood, hastily wiped but not thoroughly cleaned.
Bai Youwei did not see the little girl.
However, she and Shen Mo discovered bloody werewolf footprints in the woman’s room—fatal evidence proving that the woman indeed beca a werewolf last night, and under the loss of reason, attacked Dim.
But what triggered the transformation into a werewolf?
Was it really just random, by chance, a coincidence?
This frustrating inability to grasp the key to the problem made Bai Youwei even more anxious as she paced around the house.
Suddenly, a thud!
The sound wasn’t loud, but it startled her, followed by another thud close to her ear!
Thud… Thud… Thud…
The pounding sounds carried a steady rhythm.
She and Shen Mo stepped outside, seeing the little girl standing in the courtyard, looking down, repeatedly hitting a ball.
The bright red ball, landing on bloodstained stone bricks, then returned to the little girl’s hands, back and forth, again and again…
Sensibly, Bai Youwei felt extrely uneasy.
Frowning, she walked outside and asked the little girl, “Did you know your mother turned into a werewolf last night?”
Thud—
The ball bounced again and was caught by the little girl’s hands.
“I knew.” She tilted up a cute face, smiling at Bai Youwei and Shen Mo, “She was always a werewolf, everyone is a werewolf.”
Bai Youwei froze, “…Everyone is a werewolf?”
“You are too,” giggled the little girl with a silvery laugh, “everyone who lives in Werewolf Village is a werewolf.”
