[Comprehensive British and American] The world painting style is not right
Chapter 32 Werewolves?
Sherlock held down the girl Carol with a long tail, and Sherlock held her tail tightly, and could feel the warmth of his palm.
She knew she couldn't run away, so she didn't struggle anymore, but just sat quietly on the chair, covering her face with her hands, feeling ashamed.
"Your legs couldn't walk normally twice, the first time you fell from the ceiling for no reason, and the second time you sneaked into my room and didn't know what you wanted." Sherlock looked into Carol's eyes, "You have Lots of little secrets, but I don't want to know the answers right now."
It turned out that he had discovered it a long time ago... Carol pouted, and began to play with the two ears on her head resignedly.She doesn't bother to explain what the system is now, but fortunately Sherlock doesn't want to embarrass her.
"Then let's discuss another matter, Carol Ann." Sherlock turned her around so that she could look directly into his eyes, and flicked her ears, "Let's talk about your new ears and tail."
Carol lowered her eyes and drooped the tips of her ears like a poor pet.
Seeing her depressed look, Sherlock raised the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Tony Stark said that Hulk inspired your self-regeneration ability, I don't think so."
Carol finally raised her eyes, puzzled, what does Sherlock mean?
He continued to speak solemnly, "First of all, your self-healing ability is indeed very strong. Didn't you realize that your patron saint is actually an underage wolf?"
After Carol nodded, Sherlock said, "With your unusual sense of smell, tail and these ears, have you ever thought that you are not human at all?"
Why does it feel like Sherlock is swearing?Carol snatched her tail from Sherlock with a cold face, who is not human anymore?
"Normal people can smell what your quilt smells like."
"Carol Ann, the weather has been fine during that time. Do you know that Mrs. Hudson has been drying the quilt repeatedly for two weeks?"
"Maybe it's because of Sherlock's girlish heart. Do you have rose-flavored perfume?" Carol leaned her nose closer, sniffing him, and asked curiously, "Earth smell?"
"You dog has a really good nose." Sherlock put his hand on her head, pushed her away, and looked at the little mud on the bottom of his trousers, "I went to the suburbs this morning, and I didn't find it here. Got it."
Carol: ...
"Afraid of anything made of silver, you will feel pain when you touch silver utensils. And...tonight is the night of the full moon." Sherlock said, "So many key points, you should be able to know own identity."
"I'm not a werewolf, am I?" Carol swallowed with difficulty, "I'm obviously an orphan."
She was stunned suddenly. From the time she could remember to the present, she only knew that she was raised in a children's welfare home.Accepting the funding from kind people, I went all the way to graduate from middle school, and finally applied for a full scholarship to come to New York.
However, Carol never thought of a question, who are her parents?
Looking at Carol's thoughtful look, Sherlock understood that she also had doubts about it.
"Stark should have almost done the investigation." Sherlock interrupted Carol's thoughts loudly. He walked to the hanger and reached for his windbreaker. "Let's go to the Avengers headquarters to have a look."
Carol's eyes widened in surprise, and she raised her tail, "That's it?"
"Otherwise?" Sherlock pointed to the knife on the table and complained, "Do you want to cut it off with a knife? Or cut it off with scissors?"
After thinking about the bloody scene of cutting her tail with scissors, Carol couldn't bear to look directly at it, and she immediately agreed, "Go, go!"
Sherlock had expected her to be like this a long time ago, so he put the windbreaker on Carol, covering her ears and tail, and when he saw Carol's grateful expression, he said indifferently, "Come back and wash it off. .”
Carol grabbed the collar of the clothes tightly with her hands, making sure that her whole body was covered by the windbreaker, and then poked her head out from inside, and nodded helplessly.
Sherlock drew a circle, trying to push Carol into it.But her feet were firmly nailed to the floor, and she couldn't move no matter how much she pushed... Carol took advantage of Sherlock's inattention and quickly ran behind him, using him as a shield.
Sherlock shook his head, and he walked in, followed by a hiding girl.
"Tony Stark!" Sherlock looked around, but couldn't find Tony, raised his voice, and shouted at the silent Avengers headquarters.
I discussed with him before and revealed the answer tonight, but now I don't know where he went.This person is really unreliable, and has been like this since we met.
Then, a huge shield suddenly smashed towards him, Sherlock drew a circle with the hanging ring, the shield disappeared in the circle, and as the golden light was annihilated, a string of snowflakes floated in.
Tony came over, "That's Steve's shield, where did you throw it?"
Sherlock raised his eyebrows, "Maybe in some extremely cold place."
Tony: …
Steve is sleeping in his bedroom and has a dream where Tony uses his shield as a toy.While Tony was playing with the shield, someone suddenly ran over and snatched the shield and threw it away.
Steve was so frightened that he woke up immediately from his sleep, wiped the sweat from his brow, and found that it was a dream, just a false alarm.He relaxed, continued to lie on the bed, gently pulled the quilt, and fell asleep again.
"Forget it, I'll look for it after I've finished my business." Tony stretched out his finger, pointed at Sherlock, and said proudly, "I made another note for you."
He completely forgot who was going to hit Sherlock with a shield in the first place. As soon as these two people met each other, their IQ dropped sharply, and they became childish ghosts in kindergarten.
"Is there any clue about what you were asked to investigate?" Sherlock ignored Tony's provocation, but just taunted back, "Didn't investigate? I didn't expect your work efficiency to be so low."
"Average, better than you." Tony rolled his eyes and complained. He looked around again, but couldn't find Carol. "By the way, where is Carol?"
"You can come out now." Sherlock coughed, gently pulled off his clothes, and signaled the people behind him to come out and let Tony have a look.
The man who was tightly wrapped in a black windbreaker walked with difficulty, stood beside Sherlock, and said softly, "Tony."
"Sherlock Holmes, you actually abused girls!" Tony said in shock. Looking at Carol's appearance, he felt that Sherlock must have something to do with it.
Tony ran over in a hurry, wanting to see Carol's face, but when the windbreaker fell off, he showed a very surprised expression.
"you……"
Carol's long hair hides two fluffy gray ears.There is a long tail behind her, shaking uncontrollably, her expression is very depressed, and she stretches out her hand to cover her tail.
Tony plucked her ears, and they stood up suddenly, like a hound suddenly awakened.
"Hahahahaha..." Tony laughed loudly, he bent down and covered his stomach, "I'm sorry, give me a while, let me have a good laugh."
Carol: ...
After a while, Tony finally stopped laughing, coughed a few times, and became serious, "Carol, I always thought your resurrection ability was similar to Wolverine's."
Sherlock interrupted Tony, sarcastically, "Does Wolverine have a tail? Tony Stark."
"Sherlock Holmes, I want you to care so much. Can't you tell that this is a joke?" Tony said angrily, his hair was a little fried, and he stared at Sherlock viciously.
"Now you can go to the X-Men to see if he has grown a tail recently." Sherlock didn't appreciate it, and continued to mock.
"..."
Crackling, lightning and flint, the two kindergarten children fought for several rounds in a row.
"May you be caught and killed by Wolverine's claws as soon as possible." The battle finally came to an end under Tony's curse.
Carol stood there indifferently, "Are you done arguing?"
Tony, who was obsessed with gibbering and couldn't help himself, discovered Carol's existence. He straightened his expression and said, "I think you should know in your heart what your tail has something to do with it."
Carol nodded, "Am I a werewolf?"
"I checked your life history. You grew up in a children's orphanage in London." Tony searched his memory, "Do you know where the director of the orphanage found you?"
Carol remembered the dean telling her why Tony asked such obvious questions.She was puzzled, "Didn't someone put it at the gate of the orphanage?"
"What you know is not the truth." Tony shook his head, he hesitated for a while, and then said, "I spent a long time prying her mouth open, of course, I will not fail."
"Say something quickly, and no one will want to hear it if it's too late." Sherlock said indifferently, Tony Stark was too narcissistic, and he still wanted to praise himself at this time.
"Shut up! Sherlock!" Tony turned around and gave Sherlock a blank look before continuing, "Actually, the dean found you on the edge of a forest in southern Wales."
South Wales forests?Carol was stunned, why didn't the dean tell her?
"At that time..." Tony paused, observed Carol's expression, and after confirming that she was fine, said, "You have wounds all over your body, and she sent you to the hospital."
"You were lucky to be rescued when you were on the verge of death. However, the local government did not find your biological parents. So you were taken to an orphanage."
"I checked the information of all the hospitals in the UK, and none of them has your birth certificate." Tony said slowly, "This can only show that your parents are either homeless or have a mysterious background."
"Of course, I asked Jarvis to search in the gene pools all over the world, and there is no DNA that matches yours." Tony smiled, and in order to liven up the atmosphere, "How can a homeless couple give birth to a mutant? "
Carol was staring at the table in a daze at this moment, her eyes seemed to have drifted far away.Everything Tony said, as unbelievable as it was, was not unreasonable.
Can an orphan get the system by accident, get the status of a wizard, and have superpowers that she can't even imagine?And the current life, to her a few months ago, was completely a dream.
And who are her parents?werewolf?wizard?Mutant?Or... Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, and many clues came together, but she still couldn't find an answer.
"Carol, are you okay?" Tony lowered his voice, pulling her back from her thoughts.
"Ah?" Carol came back to her senses, looked at Tony blankly, calmed down, and said, "I'm fine."
"I've checked that werewolves live in groups, with different groups scattered all over the world." Tony explained softly, but hesitated, "But... no relevant traces were found in Wales."
He went on to say, "But there is a small town near New York, where there is a werewolf group. We can start there first."
"Small town?" Carol asked suspiciously.
"That town is called Forks." Tony replied seriously, "I will definitely help you find your family."
The watery moonlight came in from the window and shone on Tony's face, his gaze was firm, "It's late, you and Sherlock should go to rest first."
Tony turned his head, looked at Sherlock, curled his lips, "If you don't want to live in Avengers headquarters, go back to your 221b Baker Street."
"You really understand me." Sherlock raised his eyebrows, he turned around and drew a circle, and the voice came from afar, "See you tomorrow."
Carol came to an empty room in the Avengers headquarters. She lay on the bed, pulled up the white quilt to cover her entire face, and countless thoughts rolled in her mind.
The ears on the top of the head have gradually disappeared, and the long tail has slowly retracted. There is no trace left on the bed, not even a single gray hair.
The tail really comes and goes in a hurry, and she still doesn't know how to control its growth with will.
The amount of information received tonight is a bit too much. If one day all your cognitions about yourself are overturned, and the truth subverts your imagination...
Carol tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
She suddenly thought of a question, why haven't she received any missions from the system these days?Why does this system exist?Just because she messed up the whole world?
At this time, the familiar and cold mechanical sound of the system sounded.
【You seem to have learned some clues through the help of others】
【Please accept the new task below】
【Your new task is to be bitten by Edward Cullen】
Carol: ...
How timely is this system, Edward Cullen?wait!What did Tony say about the town with werewolves called?
Fox Town!
Isn't it the rainy place where the vampires live in Twilight?However, Fox is actually on the edge of New York, so as long as she goes to Fox, she can not only complete the task, but also find the werewolf group.
Carol lifted the quilt and sat up. She looked at the bright moon hanging outside the window, eager to know the truth.
Carol remembered what Tony said before, not to act without authorization.Even Tony couldn't guarantee that he would be safe enough from vampires.
In order not to let them follow her into danger, Carol decided to go to Fox Town to see now.When she came back, she apologized to Tony again.
The moment Carol held the wand, her heart became more at ease.She knew that the system was inducing herself step by step, getting closer to the truth.
"I'm going to Forks Town." Carol whispered softly, then used Apparition, and disappeared into the room in an instant.
When she opened her eyes, she saw tall trees all around, and only a faint light fell from the branches.It was so dark that the sun could not be seen, and the cold wind resounded through the forest... She seemed to have fallen into Fox's forest?
Carol pushed through the bushes and came out. She squinted her eyes to see her surroundings clearly in the dark, but she heard a sudden sound behind her, causing her wand to drop to the ground in fright.
"I saw tonight's food?" The man's voice was getting closer, "Your blood is really sweet."
Carol quickly picked up the wand, closed her eyes, concentrated, and shouted a spell with a strong sense of survival, "Shielcharm (Iron Armor Curse)!"
A blue light was very dazzling in the dark night, and quickly formed a complete barrier, wrapping around Carol's thin body, just blocking that person out.
"Wizard?" The man laughed, his eyes glowed red in the darkness, "I've never tasted the blood of a wizard."
From his words, Carol could tell that this man was a vampire with malicious intentions.Not all vampires are like the Cullens, who don't harm humans.
It is very likely that Carol accidentally entered this person's hunting area now, she is a little annoyed, she should remember a little earlier, apparition must be sure to determine a location.
The vampire had long golden hair and exquisite and perfect facial features. He curiously reached out and stroked the blue barrier, and raised the corners of his mouth, "I like difficult prey."
Then, he sat down gracefully beside Carol, looked at her through the barrier, and said with a smile, "I will wait until the moment you come out."
Carol: ...
This person is really persistent, but he is doomed to fail.She was going to rest here for a while, so she went to find the Karen family.What should I say then?Edward, please bite me?It's a shame to think about it...
A gust of wind blew over, the vampire sniffed and smelled the smell of fresh blood emanating from humans, he suddenly showed his fangs, "I'm a hunter without much patience."
Regarding his uncertainty, Carol ignored him and raised her eyebrows, "Come in if you have the ability."
"Oh?" The vampire laughed, "Do you think I dare not?"
He rushed over all of a sudden, trying to bite the barrier with his teeth, but found it was useless.No matter where he mouthed, every place is always strong.
Can the barrier created by magic be bitten open?Do you understand common sense? How dare such a stupid vampire come out to look for food alone?Carol was about to cry because of his stupidity.
"How long have you been a vampire?"
"One month." The vampire gritted his teeth, thinking it was a provocation.A lowly creature like a human dared to challenge an immortal vampire like him.If he didn't suck her blood dry, he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the vampire world!
"No wonder you can't even control your body." Carol teased, "I suggest you cultivate yourself, it will be good for your vampire career."
"You!" He glared angrily, his eyeballs almost popping out, but he couldn't do anything with Carol.Wizard, he remembered!Be sure to find a chance to bite a wizard in the future.
Carol continued to talk to distract him, and while he was immersed in anger, she whispered, "Let time stand still."
The vampire's ferocious expression stopped, his mouth remained open, his fangs gleamed under the moonlight, his hands were pressed against the blue barrier, even his long hair blown by the wind Floating in mid-air.
Carol retracted her wand, the barrier disappeared, and she waved her hand at the vampire's face, but he remained motionless.She gently pushed his body, and he fell backwards, continuing to lie in the grass in a strange posture.
When he wakes up, he will find that this is a lesson taught by a wizard to a vampire.Biting everywhere, beware of biting yourself.
Carol had just walked a few steps when she saw a person hanging from a branch in the distance.She raised her wand for self-defense, and walked over with curiosity.
The teenager in the gray jacket held his hands up to his chest in what appeared to be a running pose.It may be because time stood still just now, so he just stopped halfway through the run and was caught by a branch.
But what normal person runs in the woods in the middle of the night?And still running in the air?Doubts arose in her heart, there must be something weird about this person.
Carol quickened her pace and walked under the tree. The bright moonlight just fell on his face, clearly illuminating his facial features.
Edward Cullen!Carol was surprised at first, and then thought about it, Edward seemed to be moving very fast.It is impossible for him to run out to exercise in the middle of the night, maybe there is something important.
Okay, now that Edward is in front of her, how should she speak?Letting a vegetarian vampire bite her is really a huge problem.
Just as she frowned because of this trouble, she didn't notice that the boy on the tree had already blinked.
There was a gust of wind blowing from behind, and something seemed to be moving quickly.Before Carol came back to her senses, Edward grabbed her arm, and his gentle voice sounded a little eager, "Be careful!"
As soon as the words fell, Carol suddenly leaned forward, and then was led by Edward to move in the woods.She could feel the cold wind hitting her skin, and since it was early winter, her cheeks were sore.
They quickly got rid of the vampire behind them and reached the top of the hill.Edward put her on the ground, his expression was very unnatural, trying to explain his behavior just now, "I..."
"Are you trying to say that your stress response is due to excess adrenaline?" Carol asked.
Edward: ...
"There will always be special reactions in critical moments." Edward continued to explain the answer given by Carol, "You can leave this forest by walking down this road."
"The one just now was a vampire, right?" Carol stopped Edward who was about to leave. If he were to leave now, I don't know how to find him again.
Edward's eyes widened, but he didn't know how to answer, "You..."
"I'm a wizard." Carol noticed that Edward was getting defensive. She immediately showed him her wand and said, "I'm not the kind of wizard who catches vampires."
Edward smiled. He seemed to have heard this kind of wizard before, and found her words interesting, "Why did you come here?"
"This..." Carol scratched her hair, what would she say?For Edward Cullen to bite me?Edward would definitely think of her as a pervert.
At this time, the warm system spoke again.
【Between your excellent performance in previous missions】
【This mission, the system will help you】
Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and Carol's hair was blown up, accidentally touching Edward's face, with a faint fragrance, like the fresh air in the woods in the morning.
And the strong smell of human blood on her body penetrated into Edward's nose, and the long-lost desire rose from the bottom of his heart.When did I not smell such a sweet smell?
Edward sniffed, desperately catching the smell of fresh blood from the air, swallowed, and lowered his head involuntarily.
Just as he opened his mouth and showed his fangs, he thought of Carlisle's teachings again. Is the restraint on blood sucking for so many years going to waste?
Edward hesitated, his fangs resting on Carol's neck, and he could see the slight throbbing of the blood vessels, just under the thin layer of skin.
This made Carol's mood even more tense, what if she stopped biting after getting stuck halfway!Is it dead or alive, can you have a good time?
Please, brother, bite you quickly.Carol's heart was beating violently, she really wanted to finish this task quickly, these vampires have such strange personalities.
I don't know if it's because of the function of the system, or if Carol's inner prayer was heard by God.Edward felt his body jerk forward, fangs digging into the human's skin.
Why is blood so delicious?Rain fell in Edward's heart, and he tried hard to absorb the familiar yet unfamiliar taste of blood, but he couldn't stop for a while.
Oops!Edward's eyes were full of longing, and the blood flowed through his body, and he felt a joy that he had never felt before.
Carol's consciousness began to blur, she thought that Edward still could not fully grasp his vampire nature.In a daze, she heard the voice of the system.
【Congratulations on completing the task】
The price of this task is really heavy, is it possible that he will die in Fox?It was her last thought before she passed out.
When Carol woke up, she saw the white ceiling as soon as she opened her eyes.She rolled over and got out of bed, but felt that the whole world was spinning and everything was blurred.
"Don't worry." A tall man in a white windbreaker came over. His skin was pale, his hair was pure golden yellow, his facial features were as deep as sculptures, and he was extremely handsome.
It was the doctor Carlisle Cullen. He supported Carol and helped her sit on the side of the bed. "You have just recovered."
"Hello." Carol knew that Dr. Carlisle was a vampire with infinite compassion, and he treated everything in the world with tenderness.
"I heard from Edward that you are a wizard." Carlisle checked her body while trying to adjust the atmosphere. "I apologize to you for Edward. He doesn't have good self-control ability yet."
"It's okay." Carol touched the gauze around her neck. She understood Edward's behavior very well. After all, it was the system that aroused his desire.
"Your health is fine now." Carlisle smiled and asked, "Are you interested in meeting my family members?"
Carol nodded. The Karen family is full of handsome men and women. She is happy to meet them, as long as they don't bite her.
Dr. Carlisle wanted to help her, but Carol refused. She hoped to try to walk by herself without causing trouble to others.
"Try to walk around by yourself." Carlisle acquiesced to her behavior, standing aside and watching her quietly.
Carol stood up, and the previous strong dizziness had almost disappeared. Her steps were steady, but a little slower.
Carlisle followed Carol, and the two of them walked out of the room.She saw a group of fair-skinned vampires in the living room, staring at her intently.
Carol froze there, this treatment...it felt like they treated her like some rare animal.
A girl with short black hair came running over. She was a bit weird, her eyes were full of curiosity, "I heard you are a wizard? Oh my god, you smell really good."
"My name is Carol Ann." Carol smiled at her.Being praised by a vampire doesn't sound like a good thing.
"I'm Alice Cullen." Alice patted Carol on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I've seen it, we will be friends in the future."
"Your ability to predict is amazing." Carol praised sincerely.
This won Alice's favor, "Carol, you are so sweet, they never liked my ability, especially Edward."
Edward lowered his head in embarrassment when he heard this sentence.It was all because of him that he almost put this girl to death.
"Edward," Carlisle reminded, "what should you do now?"
Edward walked up to Carol with slow steps. He lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly into her eyes, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." Carol smiled. "Do you still remember that you saved me from that vampire in the woods?"
Edward raised his head and smiled, "The newborn vampire has left Fox."
Carol nodded, "You've done a good job, Edward."
Edward's nervousness finally dissipated, and he led Carol to sit on the sofa, "You are the first human being to visit our house in so many years."
Carlisle continued, "It totally gave us a reason to use the kitchen for the first time."
Carol heard something coming from the TV. She turned her head and found that a food program of unknown age was playing on the TV.
The host was explaining the recipes of Italian dishes, and the Karen family stared at the TV seriously, as if they wanted to memorize all the recipes in their minds.
These vampires are too cute.Carol was moved by their enthusiasm, and a "goo-" came from her stomach.
She touched her belly in embarrassment, and saw that it was already breakfast outside the house. She was indeed a little hungry, and she hardly ate well.
"It seems that our guests can't wait." Dr. Carlisle helped her out, and the Cullen family followed him to the kitchen.
Carol, who had nothing to do, also followed. She was shocked by the astonishing speed of the vampires in the kitchen.
Carlisle's wife cut a piece of meat with a knife, and in a few seconds cut a beef foreleg into small pieces.Alice tore the fresh vegetable leaves into pieces and quickly placed them on the plate.
Dr. Carlyle was in charge of boiling the water, and he poured the vegetables and meat they had prepared into the boiling pot.He seemed a little unaccustomed to holding a spoon, and turned the meat in the pot awkwardly.
Edward walked to Carol's side, his voice sounded, "We don't quite understand how to treat guests, you have to forgive me."
"You are really warm." Carol replied sincerely, she thought that the Karen family's hospitality was perfect.
"I picked this from the supermarket in the town." Edward handed her a glass of orange juice and looked at her expectantly, "I don't know if you will like it, but I bought other flavors."
Carol took the glass, took a long gulp, and the sweet orange juice flowed down her throat, saying, "I'm very satisfied, really."
"That would be great." Edward smiled softly, and he glanced at the kitchen, "It should be time to eat now."
Carol sat at the table, and she was dazzled by the various dishes on the table.
Mixed vegetable soup, stir-fried spaghetti with ribeye steak, macaroni with tomato sauce... However, at this moment, Alice was taking out the freshly baked cookies from the oven.
Is this a little too grand?Carol was stunned, not knowing what to say.
However, the Karen family surrounded the dining table, and their eyes were full of expectations, staring at Carol intently.Alice put a plate of cookies in front of Carol, and handed her the knife and fork.
Carol rolled up the steak fried pasta with a fork first, and put it in her mouth amidst all the eyes.There was a strange brilliance in her eyes, and she raised her thumbs up, "It's delicious!"
Carol took another sip of the soup, "This is the best Italian food I've ever eaten!"
The Karen family showed a satisfied smile, and Carol tasted a cookie very face-saving, and said with a smile, "Even the dessert is so good."
As expected of a vampire, Carol said with emotion, even if she cooks a meal, she can do it better than ordinary people.
"The first meal I made after becoming a vampire, it's complete!" Alice happily raised her hands.
After Carol finished eating, she sat on the sofa touching her swollen belly.The Karen family's expectations were too high, she could only eat all the dishes on the table, and now she was too full to walk.
Carol wanted to digest her food before leaving, but suddenly felt something wrong in the top of her head.It's over!Two ears popped out, as did her wolf tail.
Carol looked up at the Karen family, and found that their friendly expressions had disappeared, and now they were looking at her with a full face of defense...
She knew she couldn't run away, so she didn't struggle anymore, but just sat quietly on the chair, covering her face with her hands, feeling ashamed.
"Your legs couldn't walk normally twice, the first time you fell from the ceiling for no reason, and the second time you sneaked into my room and didn't know what you wanted." Sherlock looked into Carol's eyes, "You have Lots of little secrets, but I don't want to know the answers right now."
It turned out that he had discovered it a long time ago... Carol pouted, and began to play with the two ears on her head resignedly.She doesn't bother to explain what the system is now, but fortunately Sherlock doesn't want to embarrass her.
"Then let's discuss another matter, Carol Ann." Sherlock turned her around so that she could look directly into his eyes, and flicked her ears, "Let's talk about your new ears and tail."
Carol lowered her eyes and drooped the tips of her ears like a poor pet.
Seeing her depressed look, Sherlock raised the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Tony Stark said that Hulk inspired your self-regeneration ability, I don't think so."
Carol finally raised her eyes, puzzled, what does Sherlock mean?
He continued to speak solemnly, "First of all, your self-healing ability is indeed very strong. Didn't you realize that your patron saint is actually an underage wolf?"
After Carol nodded, Sherlock said, "With your unusual sense of smell, tail and these ears, have you ever thought that you are not human at all?"
Why does it feel like Sherlock is swearing?Carol snatched her tail from Sherlock with a cold face, who is not human anymore?
"Normal people can smell what your quilt smells like."
"Carol Ann, the weather has been fine during that time. Do you know that Mrs. Hudson has been drying the quilt repeatedly for two weeks?"
"Maybe it's because of Sherlock's girlish heart. Do you have rose-flavored perfume?" Carol leaned her nose closer, sniffing him, and asked curiously, "Earth smell?"
"You dog has a really good nose." Sherlock put his hand on her head, pushed her away, and looked at the little mud on the bottom of his trousers, "I went to the suburbs this morning, and I didn't find it here. Got it."
Carol: ...
"Afraid of anything made of silver, you will feel pain when you touch silver utensils. And...tonight is the night of the full moon." Sherlock said, "So many key points, you should be able to know own identity."
"I'm not a werewolf, am I?" Carol swallowed with difficulty, "I'm obviously an orphan."
She was stunned suddenly. From the time she could remember to the present, she only knew that she was raised in a children's welfare home.Accepting the funding from kind people, I went all the way to graduate from middle school, and finally applied for a full scholarship to come to New York.
However, Carol never thought of a question, who are her parents?
Looking at Carol's thoughtful look, Sherlock understood that she also had doubts about it.
"Stark should have almost done the investigation." Sherlock interrupted Carol's thoughts loudly. He walked to the hanger and reached for his windbreaker. "Let's go to the Avengers headquarters to have a look."
Carol's eyes widened in surprise, and she raised her tail, "That's it?"
"Otherwise?" Sherlock pointed to the knife on the table and complained, "Do you want to cut it off with a knife? Or cut it off with scissors?"
After thinking about the bloody scene of cutting her tail with scissors, Carol couldn't bear to look directly at it, and she immediately agreed, "Go, go!"
Sherlock had expected her to be like this a long time ago, so he put the windbreaker on Carol, covering her ears and tail, and when he saw Carol's grateful expression, he said indifferently, "Come back and wash it off. .”
Carol grabbed the collar of the clothes tightly with her hands, making sure that her whole body was covered by the windbreaker, and then poked her head out from inside, and nodded helplessly.
Sherlock drew a circle, trying to push Carol into it.But her feet were firmly nailed to the floor, and she couldn't move no matter how much she pushed... Carol took advantage of Sherlock's inattention and quickly ran behind him, using him as a shield.
Sherlock shook his head, and he walked in, followed by a hiding girl.
"Tony Stark!" Sherlock looked around, but couldn't find Tony, raised his voice, and shouted at the silent Avengers headquarters.
I discussed with him before and revealed the answer tonight, but now I don't know where he went.This person is really unreliable, and has been like this since we met.
Then, a huge shield suddenly smashed towards him, Sherlock drew a circle with the hanging ring, the shield disappeared in the circle, and as the golden light was annihilated, a string of snowflakes floated in.
Tony came over, "That's Steve's shield, where did you throw it?"
Sherlock raised his eyebrows, "Maybe in some extremely cold place."
Tony: …
Steve is sleeping in his bedroom and has a dream where Tony uses his shield as a toy.While Tony was playing with the shield, someone suddenly ran over and snatched the shield and threw it away.
Steve was so frightened that he woke up immediately from his sleep, wiped the sweat from his brow, and found that it was a dream, just a false alarm.He relaxed, continued to lie on the bed, gently pulled the quilt, and fell asleep again.
"Forget it, I'll look for it after I've finished my business." Tony stretched out his finger, pointed at Sherlock, and said proudly, "I made another note for you."
He completely forgot who was going to hit Sherlock with a shield in the first place. As soon as these two people met each other, their IQ dropped sharply, and they became childish ghosts in kindergarten.
"Is there any clue about what you were asked to investigate?" Sherlock ignored Tony's provocation, but just taunted back, "Didn't investigate? I didn't expect your work efficiency to be so low."
"Average, better than you." Tony rolled his eyes and complained. He looked around again, but couldn't find Carol. "By the way, where is Carol?"
"You can come out now." Sherlock coughed, gently pulled off his clothes, and signaled the people behind him to come out and let Tony have a look.
The man who was tightly wrapped in a black windbreaker walked with difficulty, stood beside Sherlock, and said softly, "Tony."
"Sherlock Holmes, you actually abused girls!" Tony said in shock. Looking at Carol's appearance, he felt that Sherlock must have something to do with it.
Tony ran over in a hurry, wanting to see Carol's face, but when the windbreaker fell off, he showed a very surprised expression.
"you……"
Carol's long hair hides two fluffy gray ears.There is a long tail behind her, shaking uncontrollably, her expression is very depressed, and she stretches out her hand to cover her tail.
Tony plucked her ears, and they stood up suddenly, like a hound suddenly awakened.
"Hahahahaha..." Tony laughed loudly, he bent down and covered his stomach, "I'm sorry, give me a while, let me have a good laugh."
Carol: ...
After a while, Tony finally stopped laughing, coughed a few times, and became serious, "Carol, I always thought your resurrection ability was similar to Wolverine's."
Sherlock interrupted Tony, sarcastically, "Does Wolverine have a tail? Tony Stark."
"Sherlock Holmes, I want you to care so much. Can't you tell that this is a joke?" Tony said angrily, his hair was a little fried, and he stared at Sherlock viciously.
"Now you can go to the X-Men to see if he has grown a tail recently." Sherlock didn't appreciate it, and continued to mock.
"..."
Crackling, lightning and flint, the two kindergarten children fought for several rounds in a row.
"May you be caught and killed by Wolverine's claws as soon as possible." The battle finally came to an end under Tony's curse.
Carol stood there indifferently, "Are you done arguing?"
Tony, who was obsessed with gibbering and couldn't help himself, discovered Carol's existence. He straightened his expression and said, "I think you should know in your heart what your tail has something to do with it."
Carol nodded, "Am I a werewolf?"
"I checked your life history. You grew up in a children's orphanage in London." Tony searched his memory, "Do you know where the director of the orphanage found you?"
Carol remembered the dean telling her why Tony asked such obvious questions.She was puzzled, "Didn't someone put it at the gate of the orphanage?"
"What you know is not the truth." Tony shook his head, he hesitated for a while, and then said, "I spent a long time prying her mouth open, of course, I will not fail."
"Say something quickly, and no one will want to hear it if it's too late." Sherlock said indifferently, Tony Stark was too narcissistic, and he still wanted to praise himself at this time.
"Shut up! Sherlock!" Tony turned around and gave Sherlock a blank look before continuing, "Actually, the dean found you on the edge of a forest in southern Wales."
South Wales forests?Carol was stunned, why didn't the dean tell her?
"At that time..." Tony paused, observed Carol's expression, and after confirming that she was fine, said, "You have wounds all over your body, and she sent you to the hospital."
"You were lucky to be rescued when you were on the verge of death. However, the local government did not find your biological parents. So you were taken to an orphanage."
"I checked the information of all the hospitals in the UK, and none of them has your birth certificate." Tony said slowly, "This can only show that your parents are either homeless or have a mysterious background."
"Of course, I asked Jarvis to search in the gene pools all over the world, and there is no DNA that matches yours." Tony smiled, and in order to liven up the atmosphere, "How can a homeless couple give birth to a mutant? "
Carol was staring at the table in a daze at this moment, her eyes seemed to have drifted far away.Everything Tony said, as unbelievable as it was, was not unreasonable.
Can an orphan get the system by accident, get the status of a wizard, and have superpowers that she can't even imagine?And the current life, to her a few months ago, was completely a dream.
And who are her parents?werewolf?wizard?Mutant?Or... Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, and many clues came together, but she still couldn't find an answer.
"Carol, are you okay?" Tony lowered his voice, pulling her back from her thoughts.
"Ah?" Carol came back to her senses, looked at Tony blankly, calmed down, and said, "I'm fine."
"I've checked that werewolves live in groups, with different groups scattered all over the world." Tony explained softly, but hesitated, "But... no relevant traces were found in Wales."
He went on to say, "But there is a small town near New York, where there is a werewolf group. We can start there first."
"Small town?" Carol asked suspiciously.
"That town is called Forks." Tony replied seriously, "I will definitely help you find your family."
The watery moonlight came in from the window and shone on Tony's face, his gaze was firm, "It's late, you and Sherlock should go to rest first."
Tony turned his head, looked at Sherlock, curled his lips, "If you don't want to live in Avengers headquarters, go back to your 221b Baker Street."
"You really understand me." Sherlock raised his eyebrows, he turned around and drew a circle, and the voice came from afar, "See you tomorrow."
Carol came to an empty room in the Avengers headquarters. She lay on the bed, pulled up the white quilt to cover her entire face, and countless thoughts rolled in her mind.
The ears on the top of the head have gradually disappeared, and the long tail has slowly retracted. There is no trace left on the bed, not even a single gray hair.
The tail really comes and goes in a hurry, and she still doesn't know how to control its growth with will.
The amount of information received tonight is a bit too much. If one day all your cognitions about yourself are overturned, and the truth subverts your imagination...
Carol tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
She suddenly thought of a question, why haven't she received any missions from the system these days?Why does this system exist?Just because she messed up the whole world?
At this time, the familiar and cold mechanical sound of the system sounded.
【You seem to have learned some clues through the help of others】
【Please accept the new task below】
【Your new task is to be bitten by Edward Cullen】
Carol: ...
How timely is this system, Edward Cullen?wait!What did Tony say about the town with werewolves called?
Fox Town!
Isn't it the rainy place where the vampires live in Twilight?However, Fox is actually on the edge of New York, so as long as she goes to Fox, she can not only complete the task, but also find the werewolf group.
Carol lifted the quilt and sat up. She looked at the bright moon hanging outside the window, eager to know the truth.
Carol remembered what Tony said before, not to act without authorization.Even Tony couldn't guarantee that he would be safe enough from vampires.
In order not to let them follow her into danger, Carol decided to go to Fox Town to see now.When she came back, she apologized to Tony again.
The moment Carol held the wand, her heart became more at ease.She knew that the system was inducing herself step by step, getting closer to the truth.
"I'm going to Forks Town." Carol whispered softly, then used Apparition, and disappeared into the room in an instant.
When she opened her eyes, she saw tall trees all around, and only a faint light fell from the branches.It was so dark that the sun could not be seen, and the cold wind resounded through the forest... She seemed to have fallen into Fox's forest?
Carol pushed through the bushes and came out. She squinted her eyes to see her surroundings clearly in the dark, but she heard a sudden sound behind her, causing her wand to drop to the ground in fright.
"I saw tonight's food?" The man's voice was getting closer, "Your blood is really sweet."
Carol quickly picked up the wand, closed her eyes, concentrated, and shouted a spell with a strong sense of survival, "Shielcharm (Iron Armor Curse)!"
A blue light was very dazzling in the dark night, and quickly formed a complete barrier, wrapping around Carol's thin body, just blocking that person out.
"Wizard?" The man laughed, his eyes glowed red in the darkness, "I've never tasted the blood of a wizard."
From his words, Carol could tell that this man was a vampire with malicious intentions.Not all vampires are like the Cullens, who don't harm humans.
It is very likely that Carol accidentally entered this person's hunting area now, she is a little annoyed, she should remember a little earlier, apparition must be sure to determine a location.
The vampire had long golden hair and exquisite and perfect facial features. He curiously reached out and stroked the blue barrier, and raised the corners of his mouth, "I like difficult prey."
Then, he sat down gracefully beside Carol, looked at her through the barrier, and said with a smile, "I will wait until the moment you come out."
Carol: ...
This person is really persistent, but he is doomed to fail.She was going to rest here for a while, so she went to find the Karen family.What should I say then?Edward, please bite me?It's a shame to think about it...
A gust of wind blew over, the vampire sniffed and smelled the smell of fresh blood emanating from humans, he suddenly showed his fangs, "I'm a hunter without much patience."
Regarding his uncertainty, Carol ignored him and raised her eyebrows, "Come in if you have the ability."
"Oh?" The vampire laughed, "Do you think I dare not?"
He rushed over all of a sudden, trying to bite the barrier with his teeth, but found it was useless.No matter where he mouthed, every place is always strong.
Can the barrier created by magic be bitten open?Do you understand common sense? How dare such a stupid vampire come out to look for food alone?Carol was about to cry because of his stupidity.
"How long have you been a vampire?"
"One month." The vampire gritted his teeth, thinking it was a provocation.A lowly creature like a human dared to challenge an immortal vampire like him.If he didn't suck her blood dry, he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the vampire world!
"No wonder you can't even control your body." Carol teased, "I suggest you cultivate yourself, it will be good for your vampire career."
"You!" He glared angrily, his eyeballs almost popping out, but he couldn't do anything with Carol.Wizard, he remembered!Be sure to find a chance to bite a wizard in the future.
Carol continued to talk to distract him, and while he was immersed in anger, she whispered, "Let time stand still."
The vampire's ferocious expression stopped, his mouth remained open, his fangs gleamed under the moonlight, his hands were pressed against the blue barrier, even his long hair blown by the wind Floating in mid-air.
Carol retracted her wand, the barrier disappeared, and she waved her hand at the vampire's face, but he remained motionless.She gently pushed his body, and he fell backwards, continuing to lie in the grass in a strange posture.
When he wakes up, he will find that this is a lesson taught by a wizard to a vampire.Biting everywhere, beware of biting yourself.
Carol had just walked a few steps when she saw a person hanging from a branch in the distance.She raised her wand for self-defense, and walked over with curiosity.
The teenager in the gray jacket held his hands up to his chest in what appeared to be a running pose.It may be because time stood still just now, so he just stopped halfway through the run and was caught by a branch.
But what normal person runs in the woods in the middle of the night?And still running in the air?Doubts arose in her heart, there must be something weird about this person.
Carol quickened her pace and walked under the tree. The bright moonlight just fell on his face, clearly illuminating his facial features.
Edward Cullen!Carol was surprised at first, and then thought about it, Edward seemed to be moving very fast.It is impossible for him to run out to exercise in the middle of the night, maybe there is something important.
Okay, now that Edward is in front of her, how should she speak?Letting a vegetarian vampire bite her is really a huge problem.
Just as she frowned because of this trouble, she didn't notice that the boy on the tree had already blinked.
There was a gust of wind blowing from behind, and something seemed to be moving quickly.Before Carol came back to her senses, Edward grabbed her arm, and his gentle voice sounded a little eager, "Be careful!"
As soon as the words fell, Carol suddenly leaned forward, and then was led by Edward to move in the woods.She could feel the cold wind hitting her skin, and since it was early winter, her cheeks were sore.
They quickly got rid of the vampire behind them and reached the top of the hill.Edward put her on the ground, his expression was very unnatural, trying to explain his behavior just now, "I..."
"Are you trying to say that your stress response is due to excess adrenaline?" Carol asked.
Edward: ...
"There will always be special reactions in critical moments." Edward continued to explain the answer given by Carol, "You can leave this forest by walking down this road."
"The one just now was a vampire, right?" Carol stopped Edward who was about to leave. If he were to leave now, I don't know how to find him again.
Edward's eyes widened, but he didn't know how to answer, "You..."
"I'm a wizard." Carol noticed that Edward was getting defensive. She immediately showed him her wand and said, "I'm not the kind of wizard who catches vampires."
Edward smiled. He seemed to have heard this kind of wizard before, and found her words interesting, "Why did you come here?"
"This..." Carol scratched her hair, what would she say?For Edward Cullen to bite me?Edward would definitely think of her as a pervert.
At this time, the warm system spoke again.
【Between your excellent performance in previous missions】
【This mission, the system will help you】
Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and Carol's hair was blown up, accidentally touching Edward's face, with a faint fragrance, like the fresh air in the woods in the morning.
And the strong smell of human blood on her body penetrated into Edward's nose, and the long-lost desire rose from the bottom of his heart.When did I not smell such a sweet smell?
Edward sniffed, desperately catching the smell of fresh blood from the air, swallowed, and lowered his head involuntarily.
Just as he opened his mouth and showed his fangs, he thought of Carlisle's teachings again. Is the restraint on blood sucking for so many years going to waste?
Edward hesitated, his fangs resting on Carol's neck, and he could see the slight throbbing of the blood vessels, just under the thin layer of skin.
This made Carol's mood even more tense, what if she stopped biting after getting stuck halfway!Is it dead or alive, can you have a good time?
Please, brother, bite you quickly.Carol's heart was beating violently, she really wanted to finish this task quickly, these vampires have such strange personalities.
I don't know if it's because of the function of the system, or if Carol's inner prayer was heard by God.Edward felt his body jerk forward, fangs digging into the human's skin.
Why is blood so delicious?Rain fell in Edward's heart, and he tried hard to absorb the familiar yet unfamiliar taste of blood, but he couldn't stop for a while.
Oops!Edward's eyes were full of longing, and the blood flowed through his body, and he felt a joy that he had never felt before.
Carol's consciousness began to blur, she thought that Edward still could not fully grasp his vampire nature.In a daze, she heard the voice of the system.
【Congratulations on completing the task】
The price of this task is really heavy, is it possible that he will die in Fox?It was her last thought before she passed out.
When Carol woke up, she saw the white ceiling as soon as she opened her eyes.She rolled over and got out of bed, but felt that the whole world was spinning and everything was blurred.
"Don't worry." A tall man in a white windbreaker came over. His skin was pale, his hair was pure golden yellow, his facial features were as deep as sculptures, and he was extremely handsome.
It was the doctor Carlisle Cullen. He supported Carol and helped her sit on the side of the bed. "You have just recovered."
"Hello." Carol knew that Dr. Carlisle was a vampire with infinite compassion, and he treated everything in the world with tenderness.
"I heard from Edward that you are a wizard." Carlisle checked her body while trying to adjust the atmosphere. "I apologize to you for Edward. He doesn't have good self-control ability yet."
"It's okay." Carol touched the gauze around her neck. She understood Edward's behavior very well. After all, it was the system that aroused his desire.
"Your health is fine now." Carlisle smiled and asked, "Are you interested in meeting my family members?"
Carol nodded. The Karen family is full of handsome men and women. She is happy to meet them, as long as they don't bite her.
Dr. Carlisle wanted to help her, but Carol refused. She hoped to try to walk by herself without causing trouble to others.
"Try to walk around by yourself." Carlisle acquiesced to her behavior, standing aside and watching her quietly.
Carol stood up, and the previous strong dizziness had almost disappeared. Her steps were steady, but a little slower.
Carlisle followed Carol, and the two of them walked out of the room.She saw a group of fair-skinned vampires in the living room, staring at her intently.
Carol froze there, this treatment...it felt like they treated her like some rare animal.
A girl with short black hair came running over. She was a bit weird, her eyes were full of curiosity, "I heard you are a wizard? Oh my god, you smell really good."
"My name is Carol Ann." Carol smiled at her.Being praised by a vampire doesn't sound like a good thing.
"I'm Alice Cullen." Alice patted Carol on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I've seen it, we will be friends in the future."
"Your ability to predict is amazing." Carol praised sincerely.
This won Alice's favor, "Carol, you are so sweet, they never liked my ability, especially Edward."
Edward lowered his head in embarrassment when he heard this sentence.It was all because of him that he almost put this girl to death.
"Edward," Carlisle reminded, "what should you do now?"
Edward walked up to Carol with slow steps. He lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly into her eyes, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." Carol smiled. "Do you still remember that you saved me from that vampire in the woods?"
Edward raised his head and smiled, "The newborn vampire has left Fox."
Carol nodded, "You've done a good job, Edward."
Edward's nervousness finally dissipated, and he led Carol to sit on the sofa, "You are the first human being to visit our house in so many years."
Carlisle continued, "It totally gave us a reason to use the kitchen for the first time."
Carol heard something coming from the TV. She turned her head and found that a food program of unknown age was playing on the TV.
The host was explaining the recipes of Italian dishes, and the Karen family stared at the TV seriously, as if they wanted to memorize all the recipes in their minds.
These vampires are too cute.Carol was moved by their enthusiasm, and a "goo-" came from her stomach.
She touched her belly in embarrassment, and saw that it was already breakfast outside the house. She was indeed a little hungry, and she hardly ate well.
"It seems that our guests can't wait." Dr. Carlisle helped her out, and the Cullen family followed him to the kitchen.
Carol, who had nothing to do, also followed. She was shocked by the astonishing speed of the vampires in the kitchen.
Carlisle's wife cut a piece of meat with a knife, and in a few seconds cut a beef foreleg into small pieces.Alice tore the fresh vegetable leaves into pieces and quickly placed them on the plate.
Dr. Carlyle was in charge of boiling the water, and he poured the vegetables and meat they had prepared into the boiling pot.He seemed a little unaccustomed to holding a spoon, and turned the meat in the pot awkwardly.
Edward walked to Carol's side, his voice sounded, "We don't quite understand how to treat guests, you have to forgive me."
"You are really warm." Carol replied sincerely, she thought that the Karen family's hospitality was perfect.
"I picked this from the supermarket in the town." Edward handed her a glass of orange juice and looked at her expectantly, "I don't know if you will like it, but I bought other flavors."
Carol took the glass, took a long gulp, and the sweet orange juice flowed down her throat, saying, "I'm very satisfied, really."
"That would be great." Edward smiled softly, and he glanced at the kitchen, "It should be time to eat now."
Carol sat at the table, and she was dazzled by the various dishes on the table.
Mixed vegetable soup, stir-fried spaghetti with ribeye steak, macaroni with tomato sauce... However, at this moment, Alice was taking out the freshly baked cookies from the oven.
Is this a little too grand?Carol was stunned, not knowing what to say.
However, the Karen family surrounded the dining table, and their eyes were full of expectations, staring at Carol intently.Alice put a plate of cookies in front of Carol, and handed her the knife and fork.
Carol rolled up the steak fried pasta with a fork first, and put it in her mouth amidst all the eyes.There was a strange brilliance in her eyes, and she raised her thumbs up, "It's delicious!"
Carol took another sip of the soup, "This is the best Italian food I've ever eaten!"
The Karen family showed a satisfied smile, and Carol tasted a cookie very face-saving, and said with a smile, "Even the dessert is so good."
As expected of a vampire, Carol said with emotion, even if she cooks a meal, she can do it better than ordinary people.
"The first meal I made after becoming a vampire, it's complete!" Alice happily raised her hands.
After Carol finished eating, she sat on the sofa touching her swollen belly.The Karen family's expectations were too high, she could only eat all the dishes on the table, and now she was too full to walk.
Carol wanted to digest her food before leaving, but suddenly felt something wrong in the top of her head.It's over!Two ears popped out, as did her wolf tail.
Carol looked up at the Karen family, and found that their friendly expressions had disappeared, and now they were looking at her with a full face of defense...
