Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 45 The Black Hand Behind the Scenes

One shot hit, and the werewolf, who was seriously injured, was shot to the ground.

Looking at the werewolf who was knocked to the ground, Tang Jiumin stepped forward slowly, and when he saw the huge body of the werewolf, he raised his brows slightly.

In less than a few seconds, the gunshot wound on the werewolf began to wriggle, and new flesh began to grow in some places.

The werewolf was half lying on the ground, reaching out and trying to pull out the short spear behind him, throwing it to the ground, coughing up blood while backing up.

First burned by flames, then hit by a short silver spear, and finally hit by bullets, the werewolf was seriously injured.

More importantly, however, the werewolf is gradually returning to human form.

As the werewolf slowly regained its human appearance, human skin began to emerge, and the opponent turned out to be a 30-year-old woman.

Click.

Tang Jiumin quickly pulled the pump to change the bullet, carried the shotgun, and walked in front of the woman, aiming the gun at the opponent's head.

"Please forgive me, the night of the blood moon is over, I will not hurt the people in the town again, you let me go, I will leave the town immediately and never come back."

Women keep begging for mercy.

Obviously, she knew her werewolf identity.

A weak woman, barely wearing clothes at the moment, kept begging for mercy.

But Tang Jiumin was unmoved.

The cold muzzle was always on the woman's head.

"You lied, you can't leave this town, I guess you should have left town before, tell me what happened?"

"Yes, yes, after I became a werewolf for the second time five years ago, I wanted to leave the town, and I didn't want to hurt others. Please, I don't want to be such a monster at all."

The woman kept begging for mercy, and her body had completely turned into a human shape, completely naked, with no werewolf features.

However, Tang Jiumin ignored the beauty in front of him and continued to press the woman's plea for mercy:

"Tell me what happened."

"I, I don't know, I wanted to leave the town on the night of the last blood moon, but I don't know why, not long after I left the town, even before I left the wilderness, I was caught by a werewolf, I tried Many times, it's been like this, and I can't help it."

"Please, spare me, spare me..."

"I see, poor woman, what's your name?"

"Elsa, sir, Mr. Gunslinger, you spare me."

Tang Jiumin spoke and asked the woman's name gently. The latter seemed to feel the hope of surviving, and hurriedly answered with a trembling voice.

However, the woman did not realize that the gentle-voiced man in front of him had no emotion on his face.

"Ms. Erza? I see."

"Thanks"

boom--

After Tang Jiumin finished speaking, she pulled the trigger without waiting for the woman in front of her to speak.

Under the approach of shooting, the woman's head was instantly smashed into flesh by the cannonball.

At the same time, a system voice sounded in Tang Jiumin's mind, indicating that the number of werewolves killed had changed from six to seven.

Tang Jiumin's face was calm, he took out a white blanket from the system backpack, wrote down the woman's name on it, and covered it over the corpse in front of him.

During the whole process, his expression was as usual, neither happy nor sad, as if he was not dealing with corpses, but with flowers and plants.

After doing all this, Tang Jiumin didn't look at the corpse on the ground again, and turned to leave.

However, after going out for a while, Tang Jiumin frowned, because it had been a long time since he chased the werewolf, and he had killed the werewolf, but what happened to Liu Ziyun?

It stands to reason that Liu Ziyun's speed is faster, but there is no sound from the system.

He searched in the direction Liu Ziyun chased for a while, but still found no trace of Liu Ziyun. The surroundings were very quiet, not even the wolf howls at the beginning, let alone the sound of gunshots.

Tang Jiu was puzzled and had to set off for the town center. This was the plan they had agreed to from the beginning. After splitting up, if they couldn't determine the opponent's location, they would go back to the town center and wait.

As a result, when Tang Jiumin got close to the tent, he saw Liu Ziyun sitting outside the tent with a frustrated face, and not far from him, Chen Min and others were sitting together, discussing something with a complicated expression.

Seeing Tang Jiuming's return, Liu Ziyun raised his head and opened his mouth, his face full of apology.

"What happened? You came back before me? Where's the werewolf? What happened!"

In the face of Tang Jiumin's questioning, Liu Ziyun suddenly covered his head, and the whole person was very annoyed:
"I caught up with the werewolf and quickly knocked him down, but, but he was still an old man in front of me."

"I was stunned for a moment. It took this opportunity and ran away. When I caught up again, the old man who had only recovered half of his body encountered a group of gunmen and was killed by them."

After saying this, Liu Ziyun's head was almost inserted between his legs, and he obviously had no face to face Tang Jiumin.

Accident, such an accident happened at a critical moment?

Tang Jiu couldn't help but be angry. He grabbed Liu Ziyun and roared in disappointment.

"Liu Bodhisattva, Liu Bodhisattva! Do you know what this means? We have killed seven werewolves now, but we have survived eight."

When the others saw this scene, they were so shocked that they didn't dare to come out. They couldn't imagine Tang Jiumin questioning Liu Ziyun like this.

"Maybe... maybe this system won't be so cruel. After all, we have killed so many werewolves, and the performance is not too bad. It will give us a way to live."

Liu Ziyun gritted his teeth and looked away while speaking. Obviously, he couldn't convince himself.

"We have another way."

But just as the two were talking, Chen Min next to him did not know when, rushed into the tent, dragged a person out from inside, and fell in front of everyone.

It was none other than the criminal Xu Wuqiang who was dragged by him.

"Look, this guy is a rapist and a murderer. We kill him and we can complete the mission!"

"Officer Liu, you are a policeman. The crime committed by this person is definitely enough to be shot. If you die sooner or later, it's better to kill him now."

For Chen Min, it was not easy to drag such a big man. His voice was loud and quiet, and he was panting.

Liu Ziyun's brows were unconsciously locked, and he followed the direction of Chen Min's fingers and looked at Xu Wuqiang.

"Please, I don't want to die, I will never do anything bad from now on, please forgive me..."

"Don't let me die in this ghost place, I haven't met my family yet"

"You can't do this!"

"I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you..."

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Even though his hands were tied, Xu Wu stubbornly slammed his head on the ground, begging for mercy.

Seeing this scene, Liu Ziyun felt a little uncomfortable.

"This man did commit a felony, but it should not be up to me to convict, but the court to convict."

"It's not by me, but by the state. This is a foreign country and we shouldn't let him die here."

"Tang Jiumin, think of a way, you know this trial best, do you have any other way?"

At the end, Liu Ziyun still looked at Tang Jiumin, stared at him and asked, with uncertainty in his tone, but with a glimmer of hope.

Seeing Liu Ziyun with this expression, Tang Jiumin's face was gloomy, and he couldn't stop sneering in his heart.

When Liu Ziyun was 'killed' before, he did have a trace of respect in his heart, because he was indeed a pure policeman, an extremely selfless devotee, and an idiot.

But it doesn't mean that he likes this kind of person, because this kind of idiot with his own principles will always have all kinds of accidents, which is the most unstable factor.

However, just as the atmosphere was deadlocked, there were bursts of cheers from outside.

what happened?

Several people looked outside and found that groups of bounty hunters were acting in groups, and cheers erupted from time to time.

Tang Jiumin stopped the bounty hunter passing by.

"What happened?"

"The night of the blood moon is over! The mayor is back now and is ready to give us patrol money!" The bounty hunter replied very easily.

"You mean, the mayor is back? Are you sure?" Tang Jiumin was so surprised, he confirmed again.

"Really, I didn't lie to you."

The mayor actually came back, just at this moment, when all the werewolves were killed.

Tang Jiumin stepped aside and let the bounty hunter leave, with a thoughtful look on his face.

He looked back at Liu Ziyun, who was about to come over and ask.

"I think I do have a way."

"What do you think of?" Hearing this sentence, Liu Ziyun was refreshed and wiped his face.

"I'm not particularly sure, and I need to go to further confirmation."

"How sure are you?"

"About thirty percent."

"Only [-]%?" Liu Ziyun heard this and quickly asked, "Do you need help? I'll go with you."

Tang Jiumin shook his head, looked at Liu Ziyun, and his tone was extremely serious.

"I don't need your help in this matter. I will go there alone, and you will bring someone here to wait for my news."

"Also, Chen Min is right. If we fail to complete the trial mission next, the system is likely to kill us, so if I don't succeed, you must kill him."

After finishing speaking, Tang Jiumin pointed his finger at Xu Wuqiang, who looked terrified, with a cold face:

"Otherwise, everyone will die, and they will all lose their lives because of your stubbornness."

Having said this, Liu Ziyun could only struggle to nod his head.

"I see."

However, Tang Jiumin shook his head. With Liu Ziyun's character, it's hard to say if nothing happened, but it has nothing to do with him.

He took out a pocket watch from the system backpack and threw it to Liu Ziyun.

"Did you see the time on the pocket watch? The trial ends at 10:[-] noon. If there are [-] minutes left and the trial task is still not completed, don't hesitate to kill him and let others live."

Liu Ziyun held the pocket watch tightly and nodded slowly.

"I see."

Tang Jiumin left quickly.

Liu Ziyun looked at Xu Wuqiang, dragged him with his right hand, and returned to the tent.

The others watched Liu Ziyun return to the back of the tent with nervous expressions, but they were also slightly relieved because of Tang Jiuming's repeated warnings before leaving.

It was an accident that they shot Liu Ziyun before, because what they wanted to shoot was a werewolf, but they also shot Liu Ziyun when they shot.

But let them shoot directly at a person with the purpose of killing people, they still can't do it.

This is true even for Chen Min.

That kind of thing, I am afraid only Liu Ziyun and Tang Jiumin can do it.

And they, psychologically, have a hard time crossing that hurdle.

A group of people looked at each other with complicated and happy expressions.However, no one noticed that Xu Wuqiang, who was dragged back to the tent, had a sharp stone in his hand.

After Tang Jiumin left the tent, he followed the other bounty hunters and rushed towards the center of the town.

It is said that the mayor is here.

Soon, he came to the square in the center of the town. On the high platform stood a middle-aged man in high spirits, who was talking to the bottom in high spirits.

"Everyone, it seems that my choice this time is very correct. With your protection, Yuehao Town can be restored to a calm and peaceful environment."

"The night of the blood moon is over! We killed twelve werewolves. This is a record that has never been seen before. You are the bravest bounty hunters!"

Twelve?The woman he killed has completely recovered.

How could it be considered a werewolf!
Unless, through the name on the white blanket, someone knows who the dead woman is.

Gee, that's really revealing.

It's you, the mayor of Moonhowl Town, the monster that has been hiding in the dark.

Tang Jiumin mixed in with the crowd, looking at the ecstatic mayor, thinking about other things in his heart.

I learned before that for more than 20 years, all the newborns in the town were delivered by the same midwife, so before I came back last night, I visited the midwife.

The other party told him that she knew very well the people born on the night of the blood moon in the past 20 years.

On this blood moon night, one person was born; on the last blood moon night, three people were born, and on the two previous blood moon nights, two people were born each.

That is to say, in this small town, there are two 15-year-old werewolves.

Tang Jiumin carefully investigated the names mentioned by the midwife and found that one of them was the son of a gun shop owner who often helped his father manage the gun shop, and the other was the daughter of a town sheriff.

Tang Jiumin looked at the high platform and frowned slightly.

Now, what is the identity of the mayor, he feels that he is inseparable.

Special werewolves like the mayor must feed on ordinary werewolves, otherwise they cannot survive.Then, the werewolves have been killed, will the mayor be so calm?

It's a matter of life, probably not.

But the fact is that the current mayor is very calm, even if there is no werewolf who has truly activated the werewolf bloodline, and there is no werewolf who has reached the age of eighteen, he still celebrates with the townspeople.

Tang Jiumin pondered, he couldn't understand what the mayor was thinking, but he knew the other party's purpose.

The special werewolf can only use the werewolf as medicine to suck the blood of the werewolf to survive.

The other party's purpose is only this one, so if you look at the result theory, the current calm may only be because he thinks it is not difficult to accomplish this.

The mayor has a way to obtain the so-called werewolf bloodline to keep himself alive.

The blood of werewolves is activated, and 15 years old is the closest age to activation.

There must be something in his hand that awakens the only two unawakened werewolves in town.

Sheriff or gun shop?
Two may be in front of him.

There are two paths before him.

One way is to find a way to follow the mayor after the celebration to see where the other party went in the end, but the fate of the werewolf is a lesson from the past. With the powerful strength of the werewolf, plus the shotgun and the special silver bullet, he still died.

This method is too risky, and what awaits him is likely to be death.

No need, in this case it is better to go back and deal with the criminals.

He's not the kind of dedicated person who doesn't want to take too much risk.

The other way requires him to go to the sheriff or the gun store to wait in advance.

Another alternative.

Gun store or sheriff's house?
Tang Jiumin was in a tangle, he didn't know how to make a choice, because time was running out, and once he made the wrong choice, he had no chance to change the outcome.

He was keenly aware that perhaps killing the mayor could change the outcome of the trial mission.

Because Tang Jiumin didn't completely trust Liu Ziyun.
