Super Detective in the Fictional World

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Brenda’s brief bout of madness dissipated after Luke slapped her, and she deflated like a rubber doll. In the end, it was her mother who pulled her back.

Asel was obviously much more clear-headed and wiser than her daughter.

She had seen the men whom Luke had tortured. Their feet had been crushed, and whoever woke up couldn’t stop screaming in pain.

It was their screams that had attracted the terrible monsters. In the end, the screaming guys had been killed, and she had been abducted from the car and taken to the underground cave.

She also learned from her son who had just woken up that it was Luke who saved him.

Her daughter had humiliated herself. Luke had saved her and her son.

Who knew if she and Brenda could have escaped from the cave alive without Luke’s help.

It was clearly also Luke who had called in the FBI agents. Only a self-centered girl like Brenda would’ve ignored that.

After the women were rescued, Luke and Selina boarded the rescue helicopter.

Jack had returned from the cave, which suggested that there had been few monsters left in it. There was no need for Luke and Selina to remain here.

The mother and her children, as well as the local sheriffs of Wolfkyle, boarded the FBI’s helicopter. The two Houston detectives had to stay here to collect evidence for when they started squabbling with Wolfkyle later.

In any case, Luke had taken down their sheriff and deputy sheriff, so it was going to be troublesome no matter what.

The helicopters took off for Houston.

On the helicopter, Selina’s gaze moved from the FBI’s helicopter to Luke.

A moment later, she hugged Luke and kissed him on the cheek. “Thank you.”

Luke snorted. “Is this how you thank someone who saved your life? Anyone else would buy their lifesaver dinner for a year and half.”

Selina quickly refused. “I have no money. Besides, I’m not thanking you for saving me.”

Luke found that odd. “Then what are you thanking me for?”

Selina said, “For stopping her from slapping me, of course.”

Luke nodded.

Selina said, “After your explanation, I also think that it wouldn’t have been worth it to be slapped; I would’ve been too angry to sleep at night if I really got hit.”

Luke secretly chuckled. Do you not know what a sound sleeper you are? They moved you like a piglet, but you never woke up.

“So, thank you.” Selina closed her eyes and didn’t say anything else.

Luke was still for a moment. He smiled and looked at the night sky.

The helicopter pilot secretly complained: What’s going on? Shouldn’t you be kissing each other after surviving a disaster? What’s the point of just kissing the cheek?

The doctors and nurses took Luke away the moment the rescue helicopter touched down at the hospital.

Selina was in better shape. A female doctor asked her questions and treated the scratches on her body. Then, she was allowed to go.

Selina didn’t plan to go anywhere. Besides, she was hardly wearing anything; even the clothes and shoes she was wearing were from her kidnappers.

Luke was soon sent to the operation room. He didn’t come out until hours later.

He was rather surprised to see Selina. “Let’s talk in my ward.”

The doctor said helplessly, “You should talk less and rest more.”

Luke could only shut his mouth.

In order to rest, he had to make arrangements for Selina, or she would never leave the hospital.

The doctor reminded him of a few things, and then left the ward.

He had seen too many officers who took care of their partners in hospital, and paid it no mind.

When everybody left, Luke finally said, “Find a phone, call the police department, contact our landlord, and go home. You should at least change your clothes and bring some money if you don’t want to starve here.”

Selina nodded but didn’t move.

Luke was rather helpless. “Come on, be a good girl and go get cleaned up. Come back when you smell better, alright?”

Selina sniffed. “There’s a bathroom here. Why do I have to go home to take a shower?”

Luke said, “…Has it not occurred to you that your clothes smell like sh*t? Don’t forget how foul the cave was. You better get rid of the smell. Bring me some clothes, while you’re at it.”

Selina finally left.

Luke chuckled and looked at his prizes from tonight.

The harvest was pretty good, but Luke wasn’t overly excited.

Survival was better than any reward, and lying on a comfortable bed was the greatest happiness.

He closed his eyes and relaxed, falling asleep.

He didn’t wake up until the next morning.

It wasn’t a long sleep, but he had recovered his energy after five hours.

That was the advantage of advanced strength.

He looked to the side, only to discover Selina sound asleep on a cot with a blanket over her.

Luke smiled.

He was always in a great mood when he saw her.

He quietly went to the bathroom to answer nature’s call.

When he got back, he sniffed himself and frowned. That nasty monster smell still lingered.

He thought for a moment, but didn’t wake Selina up. He simply opened the window and allowed the morning air to fill the room.

He had to admit that the stale city air made him feel safe.

The woods last night had the freshest air, but it also had perverts and hideous monsters.

Every living creature in the rural countryside was so brazen and aggressive.

The door opened, and a nurse walked in. She looked at Luke and said in surprise, “You should rest more, especially with your arm…”

Luke smiled. “Thank you for your concern. My arm is broken, but my legs are still healthy.”

The nurse had a strange feeling as she stared at that gentle smile.

As the nurse in charge of Luke, she naturally knew how badly wounded the young detective was.
