Chapter 11 The Jungle and the Manhunt
While everyone was checking Sean's body, police reports came from below, saying that blood was found in the woodland near the front door of the house and some strange footprints. Burke asked Kylot and several policemen to stay to check if there was anything hidden in the room, and he ran down quickly.
After searching for the entire house separately from his two colleagues, Kylot was responsible for the attic on the top floor. When he headed to the stairs leading to the upper floor, he also observed several empty rooms. The house seemed to have not been inhabited for a long time before Felic moved in.
The room where Sean's body was located looked a little messy. Now seeing these empty rooms piled up with debris, Kellot also roughly deduced that only Felix lived here recently. He walked over and reached the stairs and narrowed his eyes.
I thought it should be on the stairs that were as dusty as the rooms next to me, but two rows of very conspicuous footprints appeared. It seemed that someone had been up there. Kellot wanted to walk up after raising his foot, but when he was just up the stairs, he retracted and turned around and looked at the policeman on the second floor not far behind him.
He pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and turned his head to take his own steps again. However, this time, Kylot's footsteps were controlled by him, and each foot was stepped on the original footprints. Because of his larger body, his footboards were much larger than others.
So each footprint covered all the rows of footprints that had been going upstairs. When he got up to the attic, he turned around and looked back, there were still two rows of footprints on the stairs...
The attic was covered with dust, but when there was no one, Kylot directly mobilized the water element to form a protective film on his face to prevent the dust that flew everywhere as soon as he moved. There were also footprints in the attic, probably because he was very relieved. The people who came here before seemed to have no idea of keeping the secret.
Following the footprints to a small room in the attic, the footprints became a little messy here. In Kelot's opinion, the owner of the footprints might be looking for something or hiding something. He was unconsciously wandering around while hesitating.
"Ahhh... Found it!"
Among the debris piled up next to him, Kelot finally pulled out a black backpack, which also had some dust on it, but it was obviously because it floated from the object next to it during the placement, because it was relatively clean on the outer side. It was precisely because of this that Kelot found the backpack.
First, he walked to the stairs and listened to the footsteps. He confirmed that no one was leaning over. Kellot squatted down and quickly opened the backpack to check what was inside. There was a purse in the backpack, an identity certificate belonging to Felix, and a document that he didn't know what it was for.
There is also a very conspicuous and weird emblem on the information. Kellott didn't know him, but still thought that this information should be very useful and might be useful in the future. He was about to take his backpack down, but after thinking about it, he turned it back and frowned and pinched the backpack. Kellott felt that it might be better to keep this thing himself.
There is a money bag in this backpack. I just found it was quite heavy. It should be a bit of money inside. Secondly, there is an identity certificate. Although there is a front-facing photo on the identity certificate in this world, the use of this identity certificate is not just a pass. It is also good to use it to do things that are inconvenient to do with your own identity certificate in the future.
There is also this information, Kelot instinctively felt that it might be more valuable than the coins in the wallet, and it is inevitable that he would be a little unwilling to hand it over. Therefore, after thinking about it, Kelot decided to conceal this matter.
He took out the wallet and identity certificate from the backpack and put it in his pants pocket. The information was folded and put into the pocket of his windbreaker. Finally, he put the backpack back on it and moved a wooden box to block it.
When I walked to the stairs, I tidied up my clothes a little, removed the water element protection on my face, and made me look nothing strange from the outside. I covered up the row of footprints along the way with my own footprints.
"Kellot, have you noticed anything? I'm covered in dust. I've been walking in several rooms and I probably have to do my clothes when I go back."
Just as he walked down the stairs, Kylot found that his colleagues on the police on the second floor had just walked out of the room quite close to the stairs and stood at the door to ask himself.
"Nothing is there at all. I doubt if anyone has been here. I have been searching on it for a long time and found nothing."
"Oh... you are so stupid. Haven't you seen that there are only two rows of footprints on the stairs now? When you came here, you just looked at the stairs. How could anyone have gone up there? You just had a waste of work."
To put it nicely, people always like to reflect their superiority. To put it badly, what is the difference between a life without showing off and a salted fish?
Just when the policeman was happy that his IQ suppressed this big guy who looked a little slow, he did not see the same smile in the other person's eyes.
Kylot was worried about how to let the policeman come over and see the stairs and find that there were only two rows of footprints. Unexpectedly, he ran over and looked quite impressed. Then he was quite safe when he was asked about this matter.
The two went downstairs to find the police officer on the first floor, and found that he hadn't noticed anything, and was covered in dust. He was standing at the door with a rag and dusting it. When he saw Kylot and another person coming down, he reminded the two that it was Sheriff Burke who thought Felick had run into the jungle and was now chasing him with people, so he asked them to follow him quickly.
Feeling the hunger coming from his stomach, Kylot touched his chin helplessly, and could only take the signal flare handed to him by the police officer next to him and walk out of the house and go forward into the jungle alone. Without need, he did not want to act with others. After all, disguise requires energy.
The jungle that Sean is guarding should be the largest in Duras Port. It is still in a very primitive state and does not have many traces of humans. I think as an orc, Sean still has a very sense of belonging to the jungle, so he is very concerned about protecting this forest.
Moreover, according to the hunted beasts that Kylot had seen in his home before, this forest must have been regarded as his territory by Sean.
It is winter now, but it has not snowed yet. Most of the jungles like this are covered with leaves, stepping on the pile of fallen leaves on the ground. Kellot shuttles among the trees, looking at the thick trees around him, hoping to find some wild fruits and other things on it.
It’s true that after walking in the jungle for about seven or eight minutes, Kylot found a fruit growing on the bushes, which looked like some kind of wild plum. After eating two of them, it tasted sweet. So I just picked a handful and put it in my hand, and ate it while walking in the jungle.
As for whether it is poisonous, Kylot doesn't care much. The blood of the Tide Giant gives him a strong physique, and ordinary toxins are already immune. If this wild plum is really poisonous, his body will also respond in advance.
The search for Felix was almost forgotten by Kylot. The area was really big, and it was not that easy to find a werewolf here, so he didn't look for it seriously from the beginning, just waiting for his colleagues to send a signal flare.
It’s just that sometimes it’s just a coincidence. Some things are hard to find when they are trying hard to find them, but when they don’t want to find them, they pop up accidentally.
While wandering around, Kylot accidentally found a wild deer's corpse. The neck of the corpse was bitten by some wild beast, and its abdomen had been cut open and its intestines were flowing all over the ground. This scene made him involuntarily think of the corpse in the small park he saw this morning.
I stuffed the plums in my hand into my mouth, swallowed them whole, and walked around the wild deer. I could easily see a few bloody footprints leading to the left front of my position.
As we walked along this direction, Kylot discovered more and more traces, such as the scratches accidentally left on some trees and the footprints in the fallen leaves.
"What's this...there's this kind of thing in the werewolf?"
Until a black spike was found on a tree, Kylot began to doubt what he was chasing. He thought that if the information was correct, Sean's brother should be a werewolf. He had never heard of a werewolf that looked as sharp as a hedgehog.
The body, which was originally a little relaxed, became a little nervous, and Kylot became interested in this monster who had no idea of its origin.
At this moment, a yellow signal flare suddenly appeared over the jungle in the distance. It was obvious that a policeman had discovered the target. Someone encountered the werewolf before Kylot. However, judging from the things in his hand, it was estimated that the monster could not be called a werewolf, but became another existence.
After running in the direction where the signal flare appeared for about five minutes, Kylot found three ordinary police officers lying on the open space ahead. Most of the others except him were acting together, so these three people should have encountered werewolfs at the same time, but they were not in good condition.
Life is not dangerous. Both the left side should have been impacted to some extent, causing their bodies to be a little out of control, while the right side was a little unlucky. After ate a claw in his chest, three scratches were added to the police uniform, and blood was constantly oozing out of it.
"How is the situation? What monster was attacking you?"
Squatting among the three people, Kylot asked about the situation, and he had to know the monster's current state.
"It looks like a werewolf, but there are a lot of spikes on the back and arms. It's very fast. At least we fired a lot of guns in a row and finally hit him a few times. Now he's running in that direction."
