Chapter 146 The werewolf is in action.
Chapter 142 The Werewolf in Action
"Where does your key lead to?"

David looked at a cookie box in Tariq's hand and asked.

"A small wizarding village, our people often take refuge there, they all know me, and there is a chef there, the cooking is superb!"

After Tarek finished speaking, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly urged David to put his hands on his shoulders. It was obvious that the chef had a special relationship with him.

According to what Tariq said, they still have to wait for half a month before they can go to the resettlement site of the R organization.

Because the sale will not start until a month later, and the resettlement site is not yet open, they have to wander outside for a while.

After the wind stopped, David smelled a strong putrid smell as soon as he stood still, like the smell of a rotting corpse.

He hurriedly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a door made of huge stones, with a sign hanging on the door frame, with a few words engraved on it: Austin Wizard Village.

Blood was sprinkled on these words and the stone next to it, and it took a long time. The blood had dried up and turned black, and it had already stuck to it.

Is this village going with terror?

I have a horror village?

David couldn't help turning his head to look at Tariq.

He stared blankly at the front, his face was a little pale, and his lips were trembling slightly.

"Tariq?" David asked softly.

Tariq woke up like a dream, but he didn't reply to David's words, but just ran in like a demon.

problem occurs!
David's heart sank, he drew out his wand, and quickly followed in.

Pass through the stone gate, run a hundred or so meters inside, and turn a small bend. Some low and simple stone houses appear in front of David, and the rotten smell is stronger.

David carefully moved behind Tarek, observing his surroundings carefully.

At first glance, the surrounding stone houses were built by the wizards themselves. They look very simple, but each one has its own characteristics.

Let you know what kind of person the owner is at a glance.

For example, in the second room near the outside, the whole house is built into a mushroom shape, and the color of the mushroom cover is mainly pink, with some small circles dotted on it.

The body of the mushroom is white, but some beautiful fairies and flowers are painted on it.

There is also a small courtyard in front of the house, with some colorful flowers planted in it, but most of them have withered.

It can be seen that the owner of this room must be a wizard who loves life very much.

But it is difficult for David to be in the mood to appreciate the architectural art here at this time, because he only feels desolation and horror here.

There was no one in the whole village, and there were some black marks left on the road as on the stone gate just now. Some bones were scattered around, which looked like human beings, and some flies were flying everywhere.

Coupled with the smell wandering in the air, it is not difficult to imagine what happened here first.

"No, no!"

Tariq roared and ran towards the mushroom-shaped hut.

Pushing open the small door in the middle of the yard, David found that the flowers inside had been trampled very badly, obviously someone was engaged in a fierce fight here.

Moreover, some rough paw prints remained on some stones and the stone table in the corner of the yard.

The things that attacked here should not be people.

"be careful."

David grabbed Tariq who wanted to rush in, and ordered.

Tariq nodded absentmindedly, and took out his wand with shaking hands.

But looking at him like this, even if someone stood in front of him, he couldn't fight back.

David sighed and stood in front of Tariq: "I'll go first, you'll be behind me."

Tarek nodded again.

Holding his wand, David moved forward slowly, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

The wooden door of the mushroom house was a little loose, and as soon as David put his hand on it, there was a creaking sound.

David hurriedly stopped Tariq with his hand, letting him lean behind him.

David leaned himself against the stone wall next to the door, and then he pushed the wooden door open with a blast of wind from his wand, and a cloud of dust came out, proclaiming them free.

David lightly slapped his nose, and waited for a while, but there was no movement in the room.

"I'm advanced, if there is no danger, I will call you again!"

After David finished speaking, he stepped in with one foot, ready to fight back with his wand at any time.

David walked slowly to the center of the room and looked around.

There were no living objects inside, just some broken furniture piled around.

And obviously no one has been here for a long time, the dust in the room is dancing freely under the sunshine.

David was about to turn around and call Tariq, only to realize that he had already come in.

Tariq stood at the door blankly, staring at everything in front of him with dull eyes.

After a while, Tariq came back to his senses, his voice was a little hoarse and trembling: "Catherine, are you there?"

The room was silent, no one responded.

"No, no"

Tariq's tears kept rolling down his fat face, and he ran towards the back room yelling like crazy.

He was still praying, maybe Catherine was just asleep in it?

She must be fine!
But when Tariq pushed open the door, he fell to his knees on the ground.

David ran over to have a look.

The things in the room were broken to the ground, and there was also a female corpse lying on the ground. It had been decomposing for a long time, and the putrid gas caused some parts of the body to swell and completely deformed.

There are even several white maggots wriggling in some parts, which have eaten away the flesh and blood, leaving only the bones there.

David glanced at Tariq, seeing that he was about to collapse.

David walked over alone and turned the body over with the Levitation Charm.

Her face has been completely deformed, and her original appearance cannot be seen.

But one thing David can still see is that the age of this female corpse must not be too young.

"Tariq, do you want to confirm again, in case she is not Catherine?" David said tentatively.

Tariq raised his head instantly, his eyes widened, and he regained focus: "Yes, yes, she is definitely not Catherine!"

Tariq supported him with his hands, got up nimbly, ran to David's side, and looked down eagerly.

"She's not Catherine! She's not Catherine!"

Tariq exclaimed in surprise, "She's just wearing Catherine's clothes, but she's not Catherine."

After Tariq finished speaking, he swayed and almost fell backwards, but David helped him up.

This year's streak has been a bit too much for him.

David helped Tariq to the living room outside, found a complete chair, cleaned it with a magic wand, let him sit down, and handed him a piece of chocolate.

After Tariq recovered a bit, David asked, "Do you recognize that person?"

Tariq nodded slowly, with a very sad expression on his face: "She lives in the room opposite Catherine, and she is a very kind witch. She often helps Catherine, and I also received his help when I came here before."

David mourned for her for a while, and said softly: "It is very likely that Catherine is fine. This witch came to inform Catherine to escape, but she did not escape the murderous hand."

"You're right!" Tariq said expectantly.

"Do you want to go to other houses? Maybe there are other clues." David asked.

"it is good!"

Tariq stood up on the arm of the chair and followed David towards the other houses.

Half an hour later, David patted the dust off his body and walked slowly out of the house opposite the mushroom house, which was the house of the female corpse.

They rummaged through it all, and there wasn't even a paw print in it, obviously the animal hadn't been inside.

"Tariq, let's go and see that house."

David pointed to a taller house in front of him, and walked first.

Walking outside the courtyard of the house, David looked around.

The fence of the yard had been smashed into several big openings, gravel fell to the ground, and there were blood and claw marks all around.

The door of the house was tall and thick, but it had been broken into several pieces and lay on the ground.

Looking inside, there are some fragments of furniture scattered on the ground, and there is basically no complete thing inside.

These are enough to prove the brutality of the battle at that time.

Holding a wand in his hand, David kept picking up and flipping things on the ground, looking for all useful clues.

When he was inspecting a piece of gravel, he suddenly found a few black hairs stuck to the dark blood clot on it.

David twisted one up and examined it in his hand.

The hair is several times thicker than human hair, but much harder, like pine needles.

This kind of hair David has seen before, when John transforms.
Werewolf!

David's heart sank, and a name emerged from his mind.

Are these werewolves doing it?
David stood up and looked around, frowning.

Could it be the same group of werewolves who captured John?

Are they so arrogant now?
Dare to attack the wizard village.
"Did you find anything?"

Seeing that David's expression was not very good, Tariq quickly poked his head out of the room and asked.

"I know what the beast that attacked here is."

Although he knew that they were werewolves, David still named them beasts, because their actions did not deserve the word human.

"What is it?"

Tarek stepped out eagerly.

"Werewolves."

"Werewolf!?" Tariq's eyes widened instantly, as if he didn't believe it.

"Look at this." David handed the hair in his hand to Tariq. "This is the hair of a werewolf. I've seen it before."

Tariq nodded blankly, took the hair and looked at it carefully, wondering if he could understand it.

Taking advantage of the gap between Tariq's research, David bent down and took another stone from the stone, placing it in the center of his flat palm.

"The hair compass."

After David finished chanting the mantra, the hair fluttered into the air, and then floated out of the small courtyard, but soon it shook twice in the air and fell to the ground.

It's been too long, and the breath is gone.

David sighed, turning back to Tarek, his eyes still on the hair.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" David asked.

"It was I who killed them." Tariq's voice was so low that David couldn't hear him.

"what?"

"I killed them!" Tariq suddenly raised his head to look at David, and burst into tears instantly, "I killed them."

"Calm down, it's none of your business!"

Tariq shook his head, looked down at the hair in his hands resentfully, and continued: "A few months ago, we finished delivering a batch of goods, and we could rest for a while, so I asked them to come here to play, and I can also meet Catherine."

"But on the way here, I saw a few werewolves snatching children. After they capture these children, they will turn them into werewolves, and then instill some anti-social ideas in them, so that they can go on to hurt other people."

"So I asked the people who followed me to stop those werewolves. They didn't want to, but they couldn't hold me back, so they all went. Those werewolves were not our opponents, and they all fled soon."

The flesh on Tariq's face trembled: "So they must have followed us to find this place. I killed them for revenge."

David was silent for a while, then stepped forward and patted Tarek on the shoulder: "No, it's not your fault, it's the fault of those werewolves, they killed these people."

"But."

"Really, it's not your fault, and what you should do now is to cheer up, find the group of werewolves who attacked here, and avenge everyone here."

David patted Tarek on the shoulder and said.

Tariq lowered his head in silence for a long time, and seemed to have finally convinced himself, he raised his head and nodded firmly.

David breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We are looking for any clues now, and we are going to bury these people by the way."

"it is good!"

Tariq clutched his wand and walked to a nearby room.

After David and the two searched the wizard village, David found some hairs, but they were of no use, and they could no longer be used to find the location of the werewolf.

And according to Tariq, there are a total of 35 people in this wizard village, but they have only found [-] corpses so far.

Even with those scattered parts, there are only twenty of them.

At least 15 people are missing. It is not known whether they escaped or were taken away.

Hope it's the former
"Where to go next?"

After burying the last body, David looked at Tariq. His current mental state is still not very good, and he feels a little bit strong.

"Let's go to a wizard market, where Catherine's sister runs a shop. I'll ask her if she has any news about Catherine." Tariq said slowly.

"Would you like to take a break?"

"No need!" Tariq shook his head stubbornly: "Let's go."

Tariq took out his broom and flew north. David sighed and followed behind him silently.

When we arrived at the market, the sun had already set to the west, the stalls in the market were basically closed, and most of the small shops on the roadside were closed.

Tariq fell to the ground, walked quickly to the door of a small shop and knocked on it.

David looked in through the window, which sold magical gadgets, such as moving posters, bands fighting on music boxes, and so on.

"Who is it? Didn't you see that it's already closed? I know Knock Knock Knock!"

An angry female voice came from inside, and it could be seen that her temper was not very good.

"It's me, Tariq." Tariq replied sullenly.

"Tariq?!"

The voice inside immediately rose an octave, and soon the store door opened, and a witch with the same fiery red hair as the Weasley brothers appeared at the door, her figure was as hot as her personality.

"Why are you here?" The witch looked Tariq up and down, pursed her red lips, "What's the matter with your dying look? You confessed to Catherine, and she rejected you? Let me tell you."

Tariq grinned with difficulty, interrupting the witch's chatter: "Didn't she come to you?"

The witch froze for a moment, then replied casually: "No, I haven't seen her for several months, that woman, it's like this again, next time"

Speaking of this, the witch's eyes widened suddenly, and her slender eyelashes flickered. She took a step forward and grabbed Tariq's collar, and her voice could be heard for several streets: "Is something wrong with Catherine?"

Tarek lowered his eyelids and nodded his head slightly.

"Damn it!" The witch pushed Tariq away, and smashed a side cabinet with her wand.

David couldn't help swallowing

"Come in and explain to me!" The witch walked into the back room.
