Chapter 2 Names, Libraries, and the Unicorn
"Name."
"Xu Yunshu."
"gender."
"male."
"Excuse me, what is the specific time you want to take a taxi?"
"Ten twenty-five."
"Why do you remember it so clearly?"
"After getting in the car, I glanced at the screen of my phone."
…
"Please take a look at these transcripts. If they are correct, please sign on them."
The sheriff wearing a dark green security uniform handed over the document. Xu Yunshu read it carefully and found that there was no deviation in the record.
He picked up the pen, signed it, and returned it.
The Sheriff's name is Chen Honghui. He is a man in his early thirties. He is strong and his exposed skin is tanned. He seems to be working in the field. He smiled at Xu Yunshu and said, "If there is any situation next, we will immediately
To contact you, please keep the call smooth."
Xu Yunshu nodded, "I will."
The Public Security Station was some distance away from Haishi University. When Xu Yunshu was about to leave, he was stopped by Chen Honghui.
"Do you need me to help you pay for the travel expenses back?" The Sheriff took out his mobile phone and wanted to transfer money to Xu Yunshu.
"No need, it's still early, I can just walk back." Xu Yunshu refused, but his impression of the Sheriff was better.
Taking advantage of the last moment of his stay, Chen Honghui asked again, "By the way, I have one last question. According to the surveillance records, you are very interested in Guo Wenbo's dreams. Why is that?"
Guo Wenbo is the driver's name.
Xu Yunshu took a deep look at the Sheriff and thought quickly in his mind, "No, I have no interest in his dream."
"oh?"
"Because I am not interested, I will make jokes and discuss plants and animals with him." Xu Yunshu explained, "If he dares to challenge me, I will let him know the background of a life science major."
Chen Honghui laughed and waved to Xu Yunshu, "Keep in touch."
…
Xu Yun's face is cold.
He sat in the library, frantically flipping through plant illustrations from around the world, but could not find any clues related to that forest.
When the driver named Guo Wenbo died suddenly, he felt the pressure of death for the first time.
Dreams, rabbits, death, tooth-shaped scars - these are all evidence of strong connections, and it's hard not to make more associations.
Even if you are not sleeping, you will die.
Does this mean that as long as you are bound to the animal in the dream, both parties will share life?
If one party dies, the other party will also die?
Xu Yunshu dislikes this kind of relationship very much. He lives in a society with good security, and the probability of accidental death is only about 7 out of 10,000.
But in that forest where the weak and the strong prey on each other, this probability will increase to infinity.
Every life is hunting, but it can also become the prey of others at any time.
Death will accompany him at all times until it finally arrives.
After looking through all the illustrated books in the library, Xu Yunshu found no information.
It was expected, after all, he had never seen a horned wolf in the real world.
But Xu Yunshu still refused to give up, and he began to read books about wolves and various ecological systems.
He must be fully prepared and strive to increase the probability of survival to even one ten thousandth.
Everything is done to survive tonight.
As for whether he will die suddenly during the day like Guo Wenbo after tonight, it is not currently under consideration.
Because that's something he can't control.
Unfortunately, most of the information about wolves studies the hunting behavior of wolves, but in that forest, Xu Yunshu played the role of a lone wolf.
Only a few studies have focused on lone wolves.
Xu Yunshu was not an academic master, but he had a very good mind. When he memorized by rote and devoured all the information he could find, fire clouds were already burning in the sky outside the window.
He hurriedly walked out of the school gate, had a quick meal, and took a taxi back to his rented apartment.
Things about Guo Wenbo have begun to ferment. When I was watching short videos at night, someone had already posted the live video. Although it was heavily coded, the scene was still full of blood.
The teeth marks on his neck reminded him of the prey killed in the forest.
If he couldn't find a way to avoid being hunted tonight, he might be the one who died the next day.
Lying in bed, Xu Yunshu waited to fall asleep. No matter what happened tonight, he would not escape.
At ten o'clock sharp, I fell asleep on time.
…
Xu Yunshu returned to that strange forest again.
The dappled sunlight shines through the gaps in the dense forest and falls into the dark woods, forming psychedelic lights.
This time, he was deeply aware of the difference from before.
Just as the driver Guo Wenbo described, Xu Yunshu discovered that he had a closer relationship with the wolf, and there was no longer any barrier. He was the one-horned white wolf wandering alone in the forest.
The wind in the forest was weak, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, and the earthy smell of humus. In addition, Xu Yunshu also smelled a hint of danger.
That is the vigilance engraved in the bones of beasts.
He turned his back on the dangerous aura and spread his legs to run wildly for his life.
A giant pterodactyl-like thing suddenly fell from the sky, raising dead leaves all over the sky.
Caution saved Xu Yunshu's life.
The attack failed, and the winged monster roared angrily, but lost the power to glide and could no longer attack him.
Xu Yun Shulang looked back, only to see a monster that looked like a bobbit worm suddenly sprang up from the ground, but was enlarged countless times, and swallowed the chiropteran creature whole.
When all the dust settled and the forest returned to silence, Xu Yunshu hid in a relatively safe corner and tried to calm down.
It's one thing to watch the fire from afar, but it's another thing to experience it personally.
When life and death depended on the moment, Xu Yunshu realized that he was not panicked, but rather excited.
It seems that life in the past twenty years has been just a mediocre existence, and only at this moment can the meaning of living be explained.
He was not timid or in any discomfort.
It seems like he was born to belong to this stage.
Xu Yunshu noticed that he had a strong desire to prey. Driven by instinct, he understood that if the giant wolf he transformed wanted to improve his strength and become extraordinary, he must kill, devour, strengthen his muscles and bones, and compete in the forest.
The king of.
He is lucky and has the capital to compete.
Although they were not possessed by that group of behemoths, wolves are animals that hunt and prey after all.
If unfortunately, like Guo Wenbo, he is possessed by a rabbit, how can he be promoted?
The time he possessed the giant wolf was only in his dreams. When he woke up from the dream, everything was out of control.
Xu Yunshu must ensure that he can be promoted as soon as possible and increase his strength.
Every time the giant wolf increases in strength, the chance of being hunted by monsters decreases, and its probability of survival during the day increases.
Xu Yunshu has no actual hunting experience. All his skills come from observing white wolves in the past few days and information in the library.
However, time waits for no one.
He took the first step and tried to sniff with his nose, looking for possible prey.
