Chapter 924: Chapter 924: Werewolf Village 21

Shen Mo waited for Bai Youwei for a long time and became worried when she didn’t return.

He left the house and went to the roadside, hesitating whether to go near the village chief’s house to investigate. Just then, he saw Bai Youwei appear at the intersection ahead, slowly making her way back.

Shen Mo went to meet her.

When Bai Youwei saw him, she paused, “…Your injury is better?”

“Yep,” he nodded, “I rested for a while, now it’s much better.”

He glanced down and his gaze fell on Bai Youwei’s wrist, frowning, “You’re hurt? How did that happen?”

“It’s nothing…” Bai Youwei felt uneasy and moved her hand behind her back. “I found a hidden basement in the village chief’s house, and I scraped it while going down… But I also made a discovery. I finally know how to restrain the werewolf.”

“Nothing went wrong?” Shen Mo asked.

“Nope…” Bai Youwei forced a light-hearted laugh. She moved her shoulder, and the rabbit perched on it almost fell off.

Laughing, she said, “I have it with me, what could possibly happen?”

Not wanting Shen Mo to focus too much on her injury, she asked, “What about the village chief? Why hasn’t he gone back?”

Shen Mo replied, “I told him that a boy was pulling out nails in the village. The village chief has gathered some villagers and they are going door to door asking questions now.”

The number of silver nails among the villagers was a mystery, never to be fully accounted for.

It wasn’t that this family had too few, then that family had too many.

Some people who didn’t have silver nails would pull them out from others’ homes; some who had too few would do the same; others, worried their homes didn’t have enough to be safe, would still pull them out from others’…

Anyway, pulling out nails was an act that provoked public anger.

Bai Youwei looked up at the sky. There were still about two or three hours until sunset.

There was plenty of time, but actually, not really much.

“Have you seen Hans?” she asked.

Shen Mo shook his head, “He should be in some empty house. He’s not afraid now because he has Uto grass. Having fewer nails on his door is more convenient for him actually.”

“The game rules state that the werewolf can’t attack the same target two nights in a row. You were attacked last night, so you’ll be safe tonight,” Bai Youwei mused for a moment before continuing, “Tonight he’s definitely coming for me. I need to find a new place to hide.”

“Do you need to find a house with more silver nails?” Shen Mo asked.

Thinking of those small, pointed nails, white like splatters of sulphuric acid, Bai Youwei felt uncomfortable and physically repulsed.

She forced a smile and said, “I’ll look for it myself, your injury hasn’t fully healed yet. The more you rest, the faster you’ll recover.”

It was just house hunting, indeed, there was no need for two people to go.

Moreover… Shen Mo covered the area of his wound, frowning slightly. Although the flesh had healed, his bones still throbbed with a dull pain; his reduced physical ability was a significant disadvantage for a player.

Bai Youwei took his arm and escorted him back to the house, “Don’t worry, I already know how to deal with him. Just wait for my good news.”

Right now, Shen Mo’s body couldn’t afford another confrontation with the werewolf.

He took out a silver dagger and handed it to Bai Youwei: “Take this for protection.”

Bai Youwei: “…”

At this moment, she was genuinely thankful the blacksmith had cut corners, at least the handle was made of iron.

Bai Youwei carefully took the dagger from Shen Mo’s hand.

Noticing the skepticism in Shen Mo’s eyes, she quickly said, “I have the rabbit, that’s enough. Carrying such a weapon, what if I cut someone’s skin? What if it leaves a scar?… Ah really… but since it’s from you, I’ll reluctantly accept it.”

Half-complaining, half-coquettish, she finally dispelled Shen Mo’s doubts.

The sky grew a few shades darker.

As they parted, she kissed Shen Mo on the cheek affectionately, “This time, I’ll protect you~”

Shen Mo chuckled and watched her leave, somehow feeling that their roles had switched…
