In the cafe.

"Jimmy Lester, father of Ogden Lester, was killed and replaced by a subspecies of shapeshifters, the Brain Eater, in Morningside in 1886."

Sitting opposite Jimmy was a mature woman who looked to be in her thirties and had big blond waves.

Jimmy asked:

"Who are you anyway? How do you know that?"

Just when he turned around and walked towards the alley, it was this woman who tripped him and then pulled him here.

The woman introduced herself:

"Call me Marlene, have you ever heard of a witcher?"

Before Jimmy could answer, Marlene explained to herself:

"The so-called demon hunters are people who hunt monsters. A few decades ago, monsters did not disappear. At that time, when people went out of the city, they might be attacked by ferocious monsters.

"Although there are knights in England and the Church Army of the Primordial Fire, they have not always existed, and monsters are still very troublesome for humans with comparable strength.

"So a long, long time ago, a profession called demon hunters was born. We specialized in studying the habits and weaknesses of various monsters, and developed ways to hunt and kill these evil creatures.

"And my teacher is an expert in hunting shapeshifters."

Jimmy murmured thoughtfully:

"Shapeshifter..."

Marlene looked at Jimmy:

"Young man, do you know why I am telling you this?"

Jimmy asked:

"Because of……"

Marlene interrupted:

"It's because you smelled the scent and sensed the prey like a hunter. Whether you realized it or not, you did find that there was something wrong with your little classmate Hola, right?"

Jimmy asked slowly:

"Is she a shapeshifter?"

Marlene replied:

"Maybe, maybe not, she has a strong smell of a shapeshifter on her body, or there is a shapeshifter around her, and this shapeshifter is someone very close to her, or she is a shapeshifter herself."

Jimmy lowered his head:

"Is Hola a shape-shifter..."

Marlene said:

"Hatred can turn into power, but if you don't control it, you will only be swallowed up by hatred in the end. I stopped you because I want to tell you one thing...

"Not all shapeshifters are evil."

Jimmy said calmly:

"But you call them monsters."

Marlene said:

"We call shapeshifters monsters, but actually we are referring to some of their types. Shapeshifters are not a race with the same origin, but we call all races that have the ability to change their appearance called shapeshifters.

"Actually, there was a period in history when some demon hunters had certain misunderstandings about shapeshifters, treating them as a large category and making some mistakes that shouldn't be done.

"But later, some demon hunters discovered through research and investigation that there are many differences between shapeshifters, and they are also divided into different categories. Most of them are harmless to humans. Of course, there are also species like Brain Eaters that are inherently evil.

"We call shapeshifters those shapeshifters who are destined to hunt humans and can perfectly imitate humans, but do not have advanced intelligence in nature.

"Some demon hunters hold different views, but to me, all shapeshifters have only one way to die.

"As for those shapeshifters who have no irreconcilable conflicts with humans, we generally will not take the initiative to harm them. Many shapeshifters are actually the same as humans and just want to survive in this world. So if they have not committed a crime

, Witchers generally won’t take action against them.”

Jimmy asked:

"Is Hola a shapeshifter or a shapeshifter?"

Marlene corrected:

"First of all, Hola is not necessarily a shapeshifter. Secondly, shapeshifters are also shapeshifters. But you don't need to know these things for now. What I want to tell you is that not all shapeshifters are evil. At least there are many kinds of shapeshifters.

None are born sinful.

"Nowadays, most of the mindless monsters have disappeared, and many demon hunters have left this industry, but I am different, because I am a demon hunter who specializes in hunting evil shape-shifters, and shape-shifters have not disappeared with the monsters.

.

"Actually, this also proves that shapeshifters are not monsters in the traditional sense. There is still a big difference between the two."

Jimmy said:

"I didn't want to do anything to Ha La..."

Marlene said:

"You know what I'm worried about. Normal people won't react so quickly. The way you look at that alley is full of determination and deep fear."

Jimmy retorted:

"I'm not afraid!"

Marlene said:

"No, you are afraid. You are even afraid to face your own fears. This further proves that you have been completely controlled by fear. Jimmy, you need to recognize yourself, otherwise you will forever lose the courage to face reality."

Jimmy wanted to continue arguing, but after he opened his mouth, nothing came out.

Marlene said:

"I don't know exactly what happened there? But I'm pretty sure it must have left a very serious shadow on you, and it's likely to be with you for the rest of your life.

"Now, look at what happened in the past and tell me, what happened?"

Jimmy kept his mouth shut.

Marlene sighed:

"Jimmy, you are afraid of that monster, and in order to prove that you are not afraid, you want to face Hal and try to hide your fear.

"But what you are really afraid of is the monster that hurt your family in the past, not the girl. She may be just a shape-shifting girl who wants to live a good life and never harms anyone, or she may be a girl who is good at disguising and can be dangerous at any time.

A demon that may cause bloodthirsty massacres.

"But no matter what kind, she is not the monster you met back then. It is dead, isn't it? I have seen its body, and its head was neatly chopped off."

Jimmy said:

"He was hacked to death by my mother."

Marlene's pupils moved slightly:

"Wait a minute, isn't your mother an ordinary person? How did you hack the shapeshifter to death?"

Jimmy replied:

"She took Uncle Hevin's axe, and the shapeshifter didn't resist."

Marlene frowned:

"What does it mean to have no resistance?"

Jimmy said:

"It thinks it is my father, Ogden himself. Although it actually knows that it is still a shape-shifter, I think it really confused its identity."

Marlene said in surprise:

"Even I have never heard of this situation."

Jimmy didn't know if Marlene realized that he was changing the subject.

But he really didn't seem to be talking anymore, and he didn't seem to be talking about his fears.

Because he knew that Marlene was wrong and he was not afraid of monsters.

He is afraid that others will know the truth.

He knew the truth that he had attracted the monster.

He wanted to rush to the alley because he felt that this way he could make up for the mistakes he had made.
