Chapter 19

I searched until I lost track of time, and soon, it was dark. There was no light at all, so I switched on the torch on my bracelet. The light wasn’t very strong. Though the windows were huge, people outside probably wouldn’t be able to see any light through the 18th floor’s windows.

Finally, I opened the last cabinet.

I pulled it open and it turned out to be a safe. I turned the lock, listening to the sound inside. I was sure that I couldn’t open it.

In that case, I had no choice but to abandon this safe and move on to the next room.

I went to the right and pulled the door open. It wasn’t locked. That was easy..

Inside was a small corridor with a bathroom on the side. Further ahead was a dining room. Further ahead was the office I had seen outside.

There was a long wooden desk with a computer on it and a floor-to-ceiling window behind it.

There was only one bookshelf in this room. The bookshelf was full of the greatest books.

I continued to walk to the right, entering a large room with a dark red sofa and an enormous crystal chandelier. Through the refraction of the chandelier, I realized that the moon outside was very round and bright. The entire room was filled with a faint, gentle moonlight.

This must be the VIP reception room. I reached out and touched the table. There wasn’t a speck of dust on it. It seemed like someone cleaned it every day.

I searched for a place where I could store the information, but when I turned around with my back facing the floor-to-ceiling window, I felt a breeze.

I quickly turned around to check the window. It was closed. Where did the wind come from? Was I hallucinating because I was too nervous? I took a few deep breaths and turned around. A huge shadow suddenly appeared in front of me.

“Ah!” I was so frightened that I couldn’t help but scream. The other party immediately covered my mouth.

He stood in the shadows, tall and imposing.

I couldn’t stop shaking. I tried to run, but he grabbed my hand and twisted it behind my back. He pressed himself against my back, sniffing deeply. From my back to my neck and to my cheek, he was sniffing me like a dog.

Her covered my mouth so tightly that I couldn’t speak, or rather, didn’t dare to speak. I wasn’t sure if he was part of the Hall Corporation or the Hall Corporation’s competitor.

Suddenly, he stuck out his tongue and licked my face. I couldn’t take it anymore and started to struggle, but he was too strong. I couldn’t even move.

“Mmm…” I wanted to say something, but I couldn’t.

He suddenly exerted his strength and threw me onto the sofa beside him as if I was a rag doll.

I immediately sprang up to run, but he pressed me down, pressing me onto the soft sofa.

The moonlight outside couldn’t reach here, neither could the light from my torch reach him. I didn’t know what he looked like, but I knew that he must be very fierce and had a very strong body.

I sobbed as I pleaded, “I’m not trying to do anything bad. As long as you let me go, I’ll agree to your conditions.”

He stretched his hand out and touched my cheek, very gently. But I felt terrified. “Please. I can pay you.”

He said nothing.

I felt his palm. It was oddly rough, sliding across my skin. It was somewhat tingling. He kept stroking, and the tingling became even more pronounced.

Soon, I understood what’s causing the tingling sensation. It wasn’t caused by callous, but rather, fur!

I immediately recalled my previous dream, the monster with sharp teeth and fur!

No, impossible. That was just a dream. How could it exist in real life?!

I tried my best to pull my hand out of his grasp, but when I moved, he suddenly made a sound. This sound was like a wolf’s low voice when facing its prey. My scalp instantly went numb.

Was he really not a human? Was he really a monster?

I dare not move. He didn’t move when he saw me staying still. We just froze, reaching a stalemate.

The moonlight gradually moved, and about five minutes later, it shone on his feet.

I could clearly see that he wasn’t wearing shoes. Instead, his feet were covered in thick fur! The shape of them looked exactly like the feet of a giant animal!

He really wasn’t human! He really wasn’t human!

He seemed to be able to sense the moonlight shining on his feet. He quickly turned to look at his feet.

I tried to break free while he was distracted, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t.

“Waaooo!” He suddenly roared at me. His loud voice made my ears hurt, and the porcelain sitting around also rustled.

I panicked. It seemed like I really couldn’t escape.

I’d thought about running into people from the Hall Corporation or competitors of the Hall Corporation, but I’d never expected to run into a monster.

He was very likely a werewolf, if I’m not wrong. Oh god, there really were werewolves in this world!

Werewolf?

That’s right, Selina had taught me the spell to deal with werewolves before. “You ka foo ran chi ha ha gong sa ri ta!” I was like a lunatic as I pinned my last hope on the spell.

I wasn’t sure whether I had read it correctly or not. Was it really useful? I only knew that I wanted to run away. I wanted to use everything I had. I wanted to live!

When I finished, there was dead silence.

Two seconds later, his body began to shake strangely. Following that, his fur grew longer and longer.

In the darkness, I couldn’t see his eyes clearly. At that moment, two red spots appeared before my eyes. Those were his eyes, blood-red eyes!
