[Comprehensive Yingmei] I am not I do not have

"Winston, come back." Will yelled, and Winston ran back wagging his tail, lying at Will's feet, and let go of the light stick in his mouth.Muke stared at Winston. The dog felt a sudden pressure, and its paw retracted a few inches.

Will smiled and held Muke's hand, it was very warm, and the sweat from the fire before was not dry. Muke leaned sideways on Will's shoulder, Will looked down at him with a nod, and found that Muke was closed. He closed his eyes, the shadow of the fire danced on his face, and the air seemed to be stagnant, "Do you feel sleepy?"

"A little."

"It's still cold at night, it's easy to catch a cold, you can go to sleep in the car."

"I don't catch a cold." Since Mu Ke's pneumonia was cured, he never forgot to add a layer of spiritual power to keep himself warm. "You are the one who needs to worry about catching a cold."

Mu Ke stretched out his other hand to press Will's forehead, the soft curly hair fell into the gap between his fingers, his skin was warm but not hot, heat waves came from the flames one after another.Mu Ke rubbed Will's hair, "You are also the one who really feels sleepy. Is there a new case bothering you?"

"There is a case that is not particularly new," Wil paused, "the Chesapeake Ripper, the director of the Baltimore State Mental Hospital said that one of his patients, Abel Gideon, was the Ripper, Gideon The doctor killed a nurse while feigning death, and impaled the nurse with almost every tool he could find in the treatment room, like a picture in many early medical books."

""Injured person"?"

"How do you know?" Will put his right forehead on top of Muke's head.

"I saw it in an overview of pathology class at George Washington University." The time is during World War II, and the picture shows the various injuries that may be suffered in war. Some young people also leave their homeland to fight on the front line, but train more future doctors on the podium to prepare for the war.

"You graduated from George Washington University?"

"No, actually...I took a class at the University of Washington for a while, and I also went to the University of Georgia and Yale. I didn't get a diploma, but I just took a class for a while."

"What did you do before you became a veterinarian?"

"Why ask that?"

"Your experience doesn't sound like you got your veterinary license in college."

"I...travel, I've been to most of North America, I've been to Europe, and I've sneaked in for a few lectures at the Universities of Jena and Munich."

"Does being on the road forever make everything feel strange to you?"

"Everything is very strange to me. I have a lot of time, but there are always new things coming to me, like now I am holding you. This feeling makes me feel strange, but I like it very much."

'I found that I like holding you. 'The words that Will heard Muke say in his hallucinations suddenly rushed into his mind, and the two overlapped inexplicably, like two rotating suns emitting strong light in the darkness .

"I grew up with my dad from Roxy to Greenville to Erie as a boatman, always on the move, always the new boy at school. The strangeness made me feel like I couldn't fit in with the possibility of leaving. What about you? Yours Did you also travel in childhood?"

"Yes, but I haven't been to school."

"And you got into Yale?" Will couldn't believe it.

"My guardian* is also like a teacher, he taught me everything I need, from literature to mechanics, diet to manners."

"He must be a learned man. Where is he now?"

Mu Ke let out a long sigh, opened his eyes, let the heat of the fire hit his eyes, and closed his eyes again, "I don't know, maybe it's still in America. We had a quarrel before*."

"I'm very sorry."

Mu Ke smiled, "I think he may be doing well, so there is no need to worry about him. If Abel Gideon is the Chesapeake Ripper, and he is now in a mental hospital, is there anything else that needs to be investigated? "

"He may not be the Chesapeake Ripper. After Alana went to see him, he found that he might have been psychologically manipulated. The Chesapeake Ripper case has troubled Jack for many years." Will changed the subject following Muke, Childhood shadows are not a topic worth discussing yet.

Will is now willing to talk to Muke about the case, just like what he said to Muke's hallucinations, maybe Muke won't get tired of hearing about these serial murderers, the only problem is that Himself, deep in the woods, he saw for a moment the figure of a stag, bent and lurking in the grass.Will didn't know whether he opened his eyes or saw hallucinations in the dark.

"Is he hard to catch?" Mu Ke just heard Will's chest rise and fall when he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He followed Will's gaze and looked over. The huge antlers could not be covered by weeds, which reminded him of that day The buck seen in the morning, a buck that escaped his attack and disappeared without a trace.

The pair of antlers rose slowly as if stepping on drums, revealing a hairless head that definitely did not belong to a deer.It finally stood up from the cover of the grass and dead trees, showing its whole body, the black skin tightened its thin limbs, Mu Ke's excellent eyesight could see its protruding ribs in the darkness, the thin limbs It is more obvious than the height of ordinary people.

Why is there a Wendigo here?Mu Ke released a force in doubt, but the other party hardly responded to the coercion in this force. Unexpectedly, Mu Ke turned his bald head to look at the other side of the river. Mu Ke couldn't see it The eyes, because those eyes lost the boundary between the white of the eyes and the pupil like a statue, and there was only darkness.

Most of these man-eating monsters are active in the Great Lakes region in the north or the Rocky Mountains in the west. Muke rarely sees Wendigo in the plains.And this wendigo was different from most of its kind. Its horns and skin seemed to be one, but the dark skin reflected a smooth gray light under the starlight that leaked into the night.

"Yes," Will suddenly felt a sense of tiredness rushing into his brain, rubbing his cheeks, "It's very difficult to find his modus operandi, especially to find out his motives for committing the crime and the criteria for selecting victims. I think it's very difficult. It's possible that some of the Chesapeake Ripper's work was missed, undiscovered or attributed to some other killer."

"Do you mind if I sleep for a while?" Will moved his head away from Mooko's head, resting it on Mooko's hand he was holding.

"If you want to sleep." A black light overflowed from Mu Ke's palm stroking the back of Will's neck, Will's eyelids struggled a few times, and they fell asleep together.Winston lay at Will's feet, his long tail swaying left and right on the ground, marking the soil layer in a regular arc.

Muke wanted to pull his arm out temporarily and go to the other side of the river to deal with the Wendigo, but finally gave up in Will's grasping palm.

He aimed at the Wendigo with the free hand, and the black spiritual power rushed towards the opposite bank like a sharp sword, dragging the mist-like tail of the sword, directly passing through Wendigo's body and hitting the tree behind it. , almost cut off this tree, the trunk was broken from the middle, and the upper half swayed and fell backwards. More trees in the forest were like a pair of hands supporting its branches so that it did not fall down completely, but hung obliquely on the ground. half empty.

Wendigo maintained his dark gaze, his flat and wide mouth seemed to be mocking the overreach of the people on the other side.

Mu Ke frowned. This time, the spiritual power gathered into black lines and carved a circular magic circle in the air. After the magic circle was formed, there was a trace of golden light on the edge, like hot golden liquid poured on the lines. On, there was a hiss and gas.With a flick of his wrist, he pushed the circle towards the Wendigo.

The black Wendigo still didn't dodge, and the magic circle that was completely covered by the golden light had no effect on it. Instead, it exploded again after touching the trees, overflowing with golden light instantly, and even the river was covered by the light. The light was transparent, as if the sun's rays were summoned from the magic circle.

Winston jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, arched his back and tucked his tail, and barked at the golden light on the other side of the river.

Muke felt that Wendigo's smile became deeper, and his strength couldn't hit that Wendigo.Without hesitation, Mu Ke took out a thunder and fire talisman and threw it at Wendigo, and the flames flew up in the woods on the other side of the river.

Blue lightning flashed across the edge of the flame, striking the branches into coke, which gave the bright red flame more rapid power and attack, and the flame devoured the air like a giant beast.The Wendigo continued to watch the other side of the river until the flames covered its tall, thin body so that Muk could no longer see him.

Will murmured in a low voice, the strong light stimulated his photoreceptor nerves, even with eyelids covering him, he could still see traces of eyeballs rolling quickly and disorderly, Mu Ke raised his hand to cover Will's eyes, "Sleep a little longer Bar."

Winston was so frightened by the heat waves and the smell of burnt plants on the other side that he prostrated himself on the ground, his barking turned into weak whimpers, and he almost wanted to leave, but he turned his head to look at Will from time to time, but Will didn't Nor did Winston rush into the forest by himself in fright.

Mu Ke let the fire burn for a while, he controlled the fire within a certain range, and did not let the flames endanger more trees.After about an hour, both the flames and the existing vegetation had burned away, leaving behind a layer of broken and fine dust.The Wendigo disappeared, maybe it was burned by the real fire of Samadhi, or it simply disappeared. The latter possibility made Mu Ke a little worried. What exactly is something?

Muke put his palm on Will's cheek, using his spiritual power to protect him from the noise of the flames, and the cold wind couldn't bring him cold.Mu Ke waved his hand and restored the original trees in the ashes.

The saplings were reborn in the ashes, making the crisp sound of branches stretching, and the green leaves swayed and opened, and after growing into tall trees, they turned yellow and swayed in the cold wind at the end of winter.Winston became quiet, and shrank to Muke's feet. Watching Muke add a few more logs to the fire, the fire became more intense, and Winston backed away again.

Will woke up at this time, it should be said that he was woken up, a howl of wolves came from the lower reaches of the river, he found that Muke was still in the original posture, but his head was turned to the right, the lower reaches of the river, "Did you hear that too?" Will's pronunciation was a little slurred, and his head was still a little dizzy.

"Well," Muke turned his head, "even if there is no moon, they are still howling. After a winter, the prey has not reappeared, and the life of the wolf is not easy."

Winston lay quietly on his stomach, making no sound, as if the howling of his distant relative had not attracted any attention from him.

"Did we catch a fish?" Muke pointed to Will the fishing rod that fell from the bracket by the river.

Will removed his thoughts from howling wolves, walked over to retrieve the fishing line for inspection, the bait was bitten off, but left a piece of bloody flesh that had not been washed clean by the water, Will observed a small piece of remaining scales, "We missed a very powerful catfish."

"I think besides catfish, hare is also a good choice."

Will turned his head and saw Muke calmly lifted a hare that was still kicking from the grass, and raised his eyebrows, "Well, it is a rabbit that will be eaten if it doesn't sleep."

He wouldn't know that Muke had caught the poor rabbit with a spirit-hunting spell.
