James was very irritable now. He had deviated too far from the purpose of coming out. "B-R-Er!" he shouted into the depths of the woods.
"Don't, don't scream!" Ceres was behind James, brushing off the broken branches and leaves on his body. "She will run further if she hears it!" Ceres frowned.
James listened to Zach and came out to find Benjamin, but as a result, he didn't even see a hair on Benjamin's body, and now he wasted his time looking for a mentally ill woman.
"Are you sure she ran this way?" James asked Siris a little irritably.
"Sure." Sires glanced at James, "Detective Lance, if you don't want to help, you can leave it alone. I can find her myself." Sires could already feel James' impatience.
James pursed his lips and continued to move forward, searching for Briar's figure in the shadow of the trees.
James and Cyrus met. Do you still remember that during the Chapman and Wandel incident, James was taken home by Siris and Burrell to be bandaged? So it was necessary that when James saw this man he knew from the South Side running around in the woods, whether it was out of human nature or a detective's duty, he asked, "What are you doing?"
So Siris answered, "Look for my fiancée."
The specific reasons are very, well, leaving people speechless.
After Yuehua and the others settled down in Newton, didn't they ask Zach to tell his address and contact information to his friends in Barton? In addition to Sibella and Rimel, there was also this Brielle.
According to Siris’s original words, “She insisted on going to Newton to visit her friends, but I wouldn’t let her go, and her friends in Newton wouldn’t let her go either, saying they would wait until they were completely settled in Newton before formally inviting her. Uh, her friend also just arrived in Newton. She lived in Barton for a while before, uh, the Grand Funeral Home. Uh, Detective, you seem to know her, right? Uh, it doesn't matter, she just has to go anyway. Newton, we won’t let you…”
So, everyone can imagine James' complicated mood.
Sires was still saying some normal things, such as the reason why he didn't let Burrell go because Yuehua and the others had just arrived in Newton. Although they had an address, they would need some time to settle in completely. He didn't want Burrell to go now. To trouble others. Very considerate.
But James knew that Yuehua and the others didn't want Burrell to visit, probably because that was Newton, and there was no safety guarantee for anyone who went out from Barton!
And the timing is too bad, Benjamin is very likely to be wandering in the woods - James is here to find Benjamin and get Grande back, isn't he? Even if Benjamin is not here, James doesn't know if there is anything else in the woods now! Such as alien wolves!
It's a full moon cycle right now, and in Grande's office, Saints, Wizards, and Gangaro are about to discuss how to deal with this foreign wolf pack (James doesn't know that the discussion has already taken place in his absence. It’s over next time.).
Oh, by the way, why did Briar run into the woods? Because she is a patient, mentally. She wanted to go to Newton, but Siris wouldn't let her. She wanted to go, but Sireth wouldn't let her. She wanted to go, but Sireth wouldn't let her... So she ran away from home like a lunatic.
"I should call the police." The two men searched aimlessly in the woods for a while. Sires spoke and glanced at James, "Detective, can you..."
"No." James refused directly, very reluctantly - James didn't want more people to come to the woods now, "This was just a quarrel between the two of you, and one of them ran out in anger. The police will not accept it. ." Not only was he reluctant, but he also used his own police experience to persuade him. James felt bad.
Is Brier in danger now? Yes, there is still a lot of danger in the woods now. It's not something any police officer should say when they know a citizen is in danger, but James had to say it.
Sires frowned. He still couldn't deny what James said, "Then we should separate and expand the search scope."
Let Siris wander in the woods alone and add another person to the danger? No.
James said again, "No, we should be together. If we find her alone, she might not listen to the advice and want to be together."
As mentioned before, Sires had already sensed James' impatience, "Detective, what are you doing here?" He was not alert, but now he began to think calmly about why he met in the woods in the South District. to a North Side police detective.
James didn't know how to answer at all, so he used a stupid method, "Listen, I heard something! This way!" and ran in a certain direction first.
Siris pursed his lips. It would be better to have more people help him, so he could only follow.
The figures of the two men quickly disappeared into the shadows of the trees.
"They're gone." Briar looked at the disappearing figures, turned his head, looked over the randomly growing branches, and looked at the woman beside him, "Did you do something over there?"
The woman... there is nothing suspenseful. Mokawi blinked, "I didn't do anything. They went there by themselves."
Brier tilted his head and said, "How do I get down there?" He looked at the ground seven or eight meters below his feet, then tilted his body and was picked up by Mokawi, whoosh. Two women stood on the ground.
Mokavi looked around, with joy on his face. He jumped to stand in front of a fallen rotten tree, pushed aside the rotten leaves and attached moss, and carefully twisted out a handful with two fingers. Something like hair, "Ha! I found another bunch!" She shook the thing in her hand towards Briar, carefully held it in front of her, and smoothed off the attachments and egg-yellow hair little by little.
Mokawi frowned as if he was dissatisfied. He took out a cloth bag from his pocket and took out two balls of, well, fur balls, one brown and black, and one light yellow. She compared it with the hair in her hand, stared at it, smelled it, and finally looked a little dissatisfied, so she rubbed the light yellow hair in her hand into the light yellow ball.
Disappointed, "I searched and found these two." She tossed the two balls of fur in her hand, "The brown and black one is powerful, the Alpha, and the light yellow one is a wolf cub. Well, you can ignore it. ." She curled her lips and said, "Just two. Boring." Then she pinched the fur ball and stood there motionless, seeming melancholy.
Briar took the fur ball in Mokawi's hand, squeezed it, smelled it, and looked at Mokawi seriously, then tilted his head and looked at Mokawi, "Just now, I wanted to ask, the Alpha, werewolf you mentioned, What is it?"
"You don't know." Mokavi took the fur ball back, stuffed it back into the cloth bag, and started walking casually, but not in the direction of James and Sires, "Just, um, um, um..." She walked as she walked While gesturing, "What Bumi and Dora are afraid of." He waved his hand, "I don't."
"Who are Bumi and Dora?" Briar continued to ask, following Mokawi.
"My..." Mokawi tilted his head and thought for a while, "My current entourage? Well, my current entourage."
"Are you very rich? You have followers, and two more."
Remember, this is a conversation between two psychopaths.
"Yeah, uh, no, I used to be very rich, but now..." Mokawi shook his head with some regret, "I'm not rich anymore. My family and things are gone and have been taken away."
"Can you get it back again?"
"No." Mokavi turned her head and shook her head sadly, "They were taken to a far away place." She tilted her head and thought for a moment, stepping on the ground that was full of broken branches and leaves, "Go to the other side of the world. ”
"Republican?" Burrell also tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled. This should be the first smile Burrell showed. It was ugly, like a facial cramp. "Then you will get it back. The newspaper said that a port will be built here and trade will be opened with the Republic. You can still go and get it back." It’s your stuff.”
Mokawi waved his hand, "No, it's not important anyway, as long as my husband is still here with me."
"Your husband?" Burrell was confused for a moment and nodded, "Oh, your husband is a landscape painting."
"A beautiful landscape painting." Mokavi emphasized.
It would be easier to understand if the words were 'a handsome man'.
"'He' (paint), is he alive? Sires is very good, I mean, very good, strong, strong..."
Well, not just a conversation between two lunatics, but a conversation between two adult lunatics.
"My husband never quarrels with me." Mokawi raised his eyebrows with a hint of provocation, looking at Briar who was inexplicably immersed in a certain emotion.
Brielle blinked, "You win." Then shook her head, "Most of the time, Cyrus is pretty good."
Mokavi squatted down in front of a certain tree, opened the bark, and found another tuft of hair, this time it was brown and black. There was some disappointment on his face.
Briar also squatted down next to Mokawi, watching Mokawi rub the brown and black hair into the fur ball, "What are you doing with these?"
"Get ready." Mokawi answered simply, "Dora and Bumi are afraid of Barton's Alpha, so I, the master, will help them get rid of him."
"Why are they afraid?"
"Well." Mokavi frowned and thought for a while, "In the past, there was a man named Papa Midnight who created werewolves in order to kill us, so some of us will be afraid."
"who are we?"
"I, Bruch, Vanzhuo, Lessenrab, Toledo..." Then he shut up and looked at Burrell with his lips curled up, "You want to ask again, who are I, Bruch, Vanzhuo? what."
Brielle nodded, naturally.
Mokawi actually laughed, "You're so funny."
"You're quite funny, too." Brielle also smiled, as if he had gotten used to this expression, and it felt more natural this time. He tilted his head and said, "Then I won't ask you about this anymore. I'll ask you about other things. Aren't you afraid of this, um, werewolf?"
"Not afraid." Mokawi shook his head and pulled Briar up. "I'm very powerful." He was complacent. Moving on, "Besides, I've been looking for a few days, and I only found two werewolves here." She narrowed her eyes, "Out there, it is said that Barton is the city of Alpha. It must be false. There is only one young wolf." The Alpha of the wolf, haha, how to become the lord of a city."
"What is a lord? The person who controls the city?" Brielle was really curious, "Is the mayor of Barton some kind of alpha?"
"No." Mokawi shook his head, "The mayor of Barton is a human, not a werewolf. Bumi and Dora confirmed it."
"You mean besides the mayor, is there anyone else who controls Barton? The governor?" Brielle tilted her head and speculated using her worldview.
"No, he's not a human being."
Brier was silent for a moment, "Aren't you human?"
Mokavi smiled, "No." The grinning mouth opened slightly, revealing the fangs inside that were deliberately extended for display.
Brielle touched her teeth and blinked, "Can I do it?"
"No, haha, you can't." Mokawi smiled, then tilted his head, "Do you want to?"
"What's good?"
"You can run very fast, jump very high, hear small sounds, and see very far away places, um." Mokawi thought for a moment, "Live for a long time." Then his expression became weird, "Then, um , depends on luck.”
"It depends on luck?"
Mokavi opened his mouth, as if thinking, "Yes, luck." He raised his hand and pointed at his suddenly red eyes, "Sometimes you can do this." He folded his hands in front of his chest and disappeared, leaving the empty Brier Mokawi's voice came out in front of him, "Sometimes it can be like this." When he reappeared, his dress fell to the ground, and the voice was on Briar's shoulder, like a bat, "Sometimes it can be like this."
The bat returned to the dress on the ground, and Mokawi stood in front of Briar who was watching seriously, and waved his arm, "Sometimes you are powerful." He raised his head with a arrogant look, "Sometimes you have unlimited rights. ." Then she continued. We understood that she wanted to demonstrate the thirteen clans one by one, but she was interrupted.
"Not good." Brier shook his head, "I have a friend who can see death, and Siris was saved by them once." Yuehua and Baiying said, "If possible, I want to be like them. "
Mokavi, who was still demonstrating, stopped with his hand raised halfway, "See death? Do you mean the Banshee?"
"What is a banshee?" Brielle asked.
Mokawi tilted his head and thought for a moment, "The person who created the werewolf had made something even more powerful before, a woman who could see death."
Brielle raised an eyebrow, "Is it created? Then I can't change?"
"Haha, Briar, you are not an Indian, so you can't change."
"What a pity." Burrell lowered his head, truly disappointed.
Mokawi looked at Briar expectantly, as if to say, 'Me, me, me. 'She just showed herself didn't she.
"It's time for me to go find Sires. It would be bad to make him really angry." Brielle said this. "After all, he is really good at his job."
Mokawi lowered his head, "Okay."
"By the way, do you have an address? I'll see you next time..." Briar looked at the disappointed Mokavi, pursed his lips, and shook his head, "You are a wanted criminal, so you probably don't have an address."
"I do." Mokavi curled his lips, "In the old Hermann factory, but it's just a temporary stay. Don't worry, I will help Dora and Bumi solve what they are afraid of. I will go to the police station to find the person who framed me. People settle accounts.”
Brielle patted Mokavi and smiled, "Come on. Goodbye."
This encounter between the two 'strange people' has finally come to an end. (.)
