The lure of the wolf

Chapter 83

Lin Rui stood quietly in front of the window, his eyes drifting away, not knowing where they fell.

The sunlight coming in from the window warmly spread on his body, a little dazzling, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and then stretched out his hand to push the window open, the cold wind came in with a few strands of warmth, he closed his eyes.

"I like winter, winter when it snows." Deep in his memory, Shen Tu's voice was still as clear as before. Lin Rui opened his eyes and looked at the snow that was beginning to melt in the yard. For a moment, he had an illusion that Shen Tu Tu crouched on the snow and looked back at him.

He smiled, closed the window, and wore few clothes. Although the sun was shining brightly, he still felt cold when he opened the window.

"Let's go?" There was a loud sound of riding boots in the corridor behind him, and then the door was pushed open, and Ban Datong walked in.

Lin Rui turned around, took a coat and put it on, and glanced at Ban Datong. The expression on Ban Datong's face was the same as usual, which made him feel a little confused about this man sometimes.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Lin Rui picked up the thin silver thread on the table, thought for a while and put it back, and after taking a step, he turned around and took it, "Sometimes I really want to ask if you really know where to go?" What does it mean to have the boss?"

"What the hell is there to worry about? How can I not know what it means to go?" Ban Datong rubbed a small mud spot on his riding boots on the sofa, "It doesn't matter, if I don't want to go, what do you do?" Tell that old pervert, you can't fucking run away."

"Ban Ge," Lin Rui looked down at the silver thread in his hand, and looked up at Ban Datong after a long silence, "Speaking of which, this has nothing to do with you at all..."

"What the hell are you talking about? That's not what you thought when you came to me," Ban Datong pushed Lin Rui directly onto the table, pressed him over, reached into his pants, fumbled a few times and straightened He got up and sighed, "Fuck, I'm not in the mood, let's go."

The boss was waiting for them on the top floor of the castle-like house.

There are no partitions or supports on this floor, and the roof is very high. There is only a huge glass tank filled with light brown liquid in the middle, which is almost as big as a room in an ordinary house, and there are some strangely shaped tubes and bottles around it.

Lin Rui seldom comes here, and every time he comes, he feels strange. This feeling of being out of the world and being in another time and space makes him very depressed, and he wants to leave soon.

He couldn't remember when he came in last time, it should be after the boss' last body started to disappear.

He didn't live for a long time, just because the boss didn't have a suitable body. He once considered using some methods to make himself last until he found his body. Fortunately, Ban Datong appeared.

"Start?" The boss stood in the middle of the room, his mechanical and hollow voice echoed in the huge room.

"It's all ready," Lin Rui took a breath without looking at Ban Datong standing behind him, "We can start now, but I want to emphasize again... If you break your promise, I will make Ban Datong wake up again Come here, and then you will truly disappear."

"Things are already like this, what else can I do," the boss opened his arms, and the robe slid to the ground, revealing the metal body under the neck, "and I can trust you."

"Even if I'm dead, it's still possible to wake him up," Lin Rui walked to the glass tank, and pressed a button next to it, a burst of bubbles rose from the bottom of the water, burst on the water surface, and issued a tiny sound. Voice, the color of the liquid began to darken slowly, "I don't trust anyone."

"Including Shen Tu?" The boss didn't say anything else, but just asked casually.

"Yes."

Ban Datong's body slowly sank to the bottom of the water. Before he closed his eyes, he just glanced at Lin Rui. He wanted to say goodbye, but felt that the fact of goodbye was unpredictable, so he didn't say anything.

The memory gradually faded, as if being pulled out of his body, and everything around him gradually fell into darkness, as if entering a space that would never have light.

That's the fucking way, that's it.

Lin Rui sat on the floor of the room, leaning against the wall, Ban Datong, no, it will take two days for the boss to wake up, and there must be no mistakes in these two days, otherwise his consciousness and Ban Datong's body will be wiped out .

Heavily guarded, except for the guarding hunters and werewolves, all kinds of organs have been opened, not to mention that no one can come up, even Lin Rui can't get out from here before it is completed.

If he fails this on purpose, then he will be trapped on the topmost floor of this house until he dies.

Lin Rui looked at the pitch-black glass cylinder in front of him, motionless, like a sculpture. If there were no accidents, he could keep this unchanged posture until the boss woke up.

In the past, he didn't have such good patience because of Shen Tu, in order to train him to keep fully blending into the environment around him, every time he would stay quietly with Shen Tu.

Shen Tu didn't disappoint him, he was an excellent werewolf, so good that he didn't need the assistance of the hunter, he didn't need the power of the hunter, Lin Rui smiled, this may be the most powerful reason for him to leave confidently.

Whether Shen Tu is a natural good guy or not, no one can come to a conclusion on this until now.Lin Rui only remembered the first time he saw Shen Tu, the black little wolf huddled in the corner of the wall, with a bit of stubbornness under the frightened and uneasy eyes in the gray-blue eyes.

This is a little wolf that is considered impossible to become an excellent werewolf. If Lin Rui hadn't brought it back, its future might be death, wandering, or...

When Lin Rui's hand touched its fur, it didn't resist. Lin Rui said, come home with me, it obediently walked out of the corner, and followed Lin Rui back to the residence.

Everyone felt that there was something wrong with Lin Rui. There was nothing special about this little black wolf, and it could even be said to be mediocre. It would take a long time for other werewolves to master skills in a short period of time. Its werewolf traits, there is nothing special about it that a hunter would spend energy training.

The boss also didn't understand. Lin Rui is an excellent hunter. He would never do such a thankless task, let alone because of the pity of this little wolf: "Why did you pick this one? It may only take a few years to produce any effect."

"No." Lin Rui's answer was very simple. What he liked was the little wolf's eyes, the kind of firm eyes that did not lose even in the panic and anxiety. This was something deep in his bones.

The name was given by Lin Rui. He picked up a book from the shelf, flipped through a few pages, and tickled the book with his finger. It was a heavy character. He threw the book aside: "My surname is Shen, it didn't take long for you to come here." Less twists and turns, quite far, it is called Shen Tu, the way of the road."

Lin Rui couldn't help sighing slightly when he thought of this name, maybe it was the reason for this name, Shen Tu had never really settled down for so many years, even if he had a fixed residence, his heart was always on the road.

Shen Tu has been very silent all the time, and Lin Rui seldom talks, especially during training, he will not say a single irrelevant word. Apart from training according to his instructions again and again, and falling to the ground tired again and again, Shen Tu has no redundant words if.

"Are you tired?" Lin Rui looked at Shen Tu, who fell at his feet again, with his hands on the ground, sweat mixed with the blood oozing from the wound, dripping to the ground.

"tired."

"You are different from others." The silver thread in Lin Rui's hand flew out without a sound. Shen Tu gritted his teeth and jumped to the side, dodging the blow. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You It should have been just an ordinary werewolf."

"I know." Shen Tu didn't look at him, his hands were still resting on the ground, trembling slightly.

Lin Rui stopped, turned around and went back to the house. He knew that even if Shen Tu had reached his limit, Shen Tu would definitely be able to dodge the attack just now as long as he made a move.

This astonishing explosive power and endurance does not come from his own physical fitness, but only because of his stubborn character that refuses to admit defeat.

"Are you asleep?" Lin Rui asked softly while lying on the bed.

Shen Tu sat on the floor next to the wall. Since Lin Rui attacked him once after he lay down and fell asleep, he no longer lay down and slept, and he could hear even the slightest sound.

Don't let your guard down, if someone wants to kill you, it won't wait until you wake up.This was what Lin Rui said when he wrapped the silver thread around Shen Tu's neck, and it seemed to be engraved in his heart.

"No." Shen Tu sat in the darkness without moving.

Lin Rui sat up, got out of bed and sat beside Shen Tu: "When do you sleep?"

"Anytime." Shen Tu turned his head to look at Lin Rui, and he could clearly see the faint smile on Lin Rui's face in the dark.

"Hate me?" Lin Rui felt a little tired, his body slid down, and his head rested on Shen Tu's shoulder, "I..."

"I don't hate it." Shen Tu replied quickly.

Lin Rui reached out to him, and the moment he touched his body, he felt warmth, the warmth of being approached and accepted.

Although Lin Rui's training method can be described as cruel, he can still feel the warmth. These have nothing to do with Lin Rui's training. Some things can be understood with a look, a movement, and a smile.

"Why do you work so hard?" Lin Rui asked him this question for the first time.

"As you said, every training session is a real battle." Shen Tu listened to Lin Rui's steady heartbeat, and still maintained his previous posture. He liked Lin Rui leaning on him like this. I know, I want people to know that they are wrong, I want you to be satisfied, I want you to be happy..."

Lin Rui suddenly turned his head and kissed him.

Shen Tu's body visibly trembled, and then became stiff at a loss.

Lin Rui's lips were warm and soft, with his familiar smell.It can't be said that this kiss is what he has been looking forward to, but he really likes Lin Rui like this, the gentle and peaceful Lin Rui, he hesitated for a moment, stretched out his arms to hug Lin Rui, and leaned against him gently.

It was just a simple kiss, apart from this kiss, Shen Tu's hand was always around Lin Rui's shoulder, carefully embracing him.

"You know," Lin Rui whispered in his ear, "I could kill you just now."

Only then did Shen Tu realize that Lin Rui's fingertips were exactly on the position of his heart. He was a little frustrated and depressed, and let go of Lin Rui's arm: "Will you kill me?"

"I don't know," Lin Rui smiled, "Who knows what will happen in the future, the relationship between werewolves and hunters is so tense now, it's hard to guarantee that I won't kill you because of these things in the future, and so will you."

Shen Tu didn't speak any more, he leaned against the wall and returned to the previous posture, and after a long time he said softly: "If there is such a day, I will leave."

"So, as I said, don't trust anyone," Lin Rui lazily replied, lying back on the bed, "Including me, in this case, who can guarantee anything..."

The conversation between the two became a reality a few years later, and Shen Tu left.

Lin Rui didn't intend to kill Shen Tu, but the conflict between the hunter and the werewolf was no longer something that could be suppressed by force. Lin Rui had been trying to change all this, but failed in the end.

When Shen Tu was about to leave, he didn't stop him, and he couldn't stop him, the firmness in Shen Tu's eyes was the same as before.

Maybe you haven't, but I can't stand the other hunter's attitude towards werewolves, giving and controlling.

This was the only reason for Shen Tu to leave.

The silver thread in Lin Rui's hand flew towards Shen Tu with the sound of the wind, but Shen Tu didn't hide, but closed his eyes for the last time.

In the end, the little silver hook just wiped his face and flew out, leaving a deep wound on his face. This wound meant that there was no intersection between him and Lin Rui, just like the gap between a hunter and a werewolf .

"This wound will never disappear," Lin Rui said after he turned around, "I hope you find the freedom you want, I have nothing else to say to you."

"You are wrong about one thing." Shen Tu touched the wound on his face. He was ready to die under Lin Rui's hands, but Lin Rui did not kill him. "If there is one person I can trust, it is you."

Lin Rui opened his eyes, he didn't pay attention to the time, he didn't know how long he stayed here, but he heard some voices.In the empty room, the voice was particularly clear and echoing.

It's the sound of water.

Lin Rui's eyes fell on the glass tank, the color of the liquid had faded, and he could see Ban Datong slowly surfaced and walked down the iron shelf beside the tank.

This is the body he is familiar with, every inch.

But now, this body no longer belongs to Ban Datong, and everything has been sealed in darkness.

"Not bad." This was the first sentence the boss said, and he slowly put on the black robe.

The voice has not changed, but the tone is no longer the tone he has listened to for many years, but has become the indifferent tone of the boss who has never changed. Lin Rui stood up and leaned against the wall. He had not moved for two days. Sour and numb.

"I'll go back and rest." Lin Rui glanced at the boss, and there seemed to be no problem. He knew that this would be the most suitable body for the boss for hundreds of years.

"Why, isn't it a bit uncomfortable." The boss smiled, this body is very good, he has not experienced this feeling of stretching the whole body for a long time, and he has not been able to experience it for a long time, whether it is weather changes or climate changes , as if being contained in a sealed jar, at this moment, he once again experienced the joy of rebirth.

"It's just that I'm not used to it." Lin Rui's answer was very light, he was indeed a little uncomfortable, he was used to always hearing that fucking sentence when he saw this face.

He couldn't tell what his attitude towards Ban Datong was. He lived with this irritable and volatile man for many years. At first, it was just because his body was the most suitable, and he was like a person who kept things. Guard the boss' spare body.

This person acted strangely when he first found out about it, he didn't even try to fight back, he didn't even ask why, he didn't have all the reactions that a normal person should have, compared to his moodiness about other things, for He was so calm that his body was about to be forcibly taken away, as if he already knew the truth.

When did he start to feel that this body also has thoughts, emotions, and people who are interested? Lin Rui can't remember. He only remembers that when Xu Bei escaped from him again, Ban Datong suddenly said: : "Lin Rui, do you fucking believe in love at first sight?"

"Love at first sight? Do you love Xu Bei?"

"No, I just like that kid. It's not up to the level of love at first sight." Ban Datong lit a cigarette seriously, "I mean the kind of person who is willing to do something for him for no reason."

"To whom?" Lin Rui laughed. It was the first time he heard such words from Ban Datong, and he felt a little funny.

"You."

"Lin Rui." The boss called Lin Rui when he opened the door.

"Ah."

"Gu Hang..."

"I can't help it," Lin Rui didn't look back, he held the door, and when he said this, he suddenly felt relaxed all over his body, with a sense of revenge, "I said that the exchange condition is that he is alive, and he is alive now. "

Gu Hang was lying in the basement of this house, his breathing and heartbeat were all normal, and there were no problems with all the indicators of his body.But he couldn't speak, see, hear, or move. In a sense, he was isolated in another dark space just like Ben Datong.

"If you think he is living and suffering like this, you can kill him." Lin Rui added after thinking about it.

In this regard, Gu Hang is better than Ban Datong, at least he can die, while Ban Datong cannot.

"Then you go to rest." The boss paused, "Come and see me tomorrow. I want to hear your opinion on the future."

"In the future? How long will it be in the future?" Lin Rui sighed, "I don't have much time, and I can't give any advice on things that are too long in the future."

"You really decided?" The boss's tone was a little disappointed. He thought Lin Rui was a good hunter, and he hoped that Lin Rui could always be by his side to help him, even if they couldn't agree on many issues, Lin Rui was firm. He flatly rejected his chance to let Lin Rui obtain "immortal life" like him.

"It's decided, it's not that I'm not afraid of death," Lin Rui smiled, "It's just that I have to die when I deserve it, my principle, and I'm tired."

"Okay, I won't force you."

"Tell you a secret."

"Say."

"I didn't break the seal of Ban Datong before."

"Who is that?"

"he himself."

"How is it possible? Why can he solve it by himself?" The boss was a little surprised.

"Don't worry, he can't solve it this time. It will only be done when you break the agreement." Lin Rui didn't answer his question, opened the door and walked out.

Bye now.
