"My teacher also has a disciple, Meryl. She has a magic tool in her hand that can search and confirm the identity of shapeshifters. It is the fruit of my teacher's life - the Staff of the Masked One."

For some reason, when Jimmy heard Meryl's name from the female witcher Marlene, he felt that the witcher didn't like Meryl.

Marlene continued:

"If I had the Staff of the Face-Flayer in my hand, it would be a trivial matter to find out Hala's identity. But unfortunately, this precious prop is still in Meryl's hands, so we have to use a more traditional way to confirm Hala's identity.

Ra’s identity.”

Jimmy was surprised and said:

"us?"

Marlene asked:

"Will you leave and never approach that girl again or explore her secrets? If you can do that, then you can leave now and I will investigate on my own.

"But if you can't do it, I will at least make sure that no matter what you do, it will be under my control."

Jimmy said firmly:

"I must not be able to do it. If I turn around now and leave all this behind, I will be tortured by regrets for the rest of my life."

Marlene nodded. It was precisely because she saw the boy's persistence that she didn't let him go home. Marlene knew very well what happened to the boy, and the young boy could not overcome the impact of those things on him.

If he doesn't control it, he is likely to self-destruct.

Assuming that the girl is a gentle, harmless shapeshifter, then Jimmy's hatred for the shapeshifter may very well have driven Jimmy to do some irreversible things to her.

And if Hola is actually an evil monster hiding in the crowd, then Hola will tear this little guy into pieces.

Marlene is not like her junior sister who only cares about herself.

"I want you to help me monitor her. Of course, I don't want you to stalk her or stay with her all day long. I just want you to occasionally glance at her while living a normal life to confirm whether she is a shape-shifter.

.

"But before that, I want to ask you why you came out of that alley."

Jimmy suddenly realized that Marlene probably didn't know about Bain hiring someone to fake kidnap Hal, otherwise her attitude would never be so good.

Then it is very likely that she did not notice the fact that the viper following Hola had disappeared due to her own reasons.

At this moment, Jimmy really wanted to tell Marlene that Hal was an evil shapeshifter who killed an "innocent" passerby.

But he endured it because he was afraid that if Marlene found out the truth, she would no longer believe him and would probably attack him first.

Jimmy said:

"I actually confessed to Ha La before, but she rejected me. I said some extreme words at that time, so I wanted to apologize to her today, but I found something unusual."

Marlene has been waiting for this:

"What's abnormal?"

Jimmy asked:

"What would you do if she were an evil shapeshifter?"

Marlene replied:

"Hunt it."

Jimmy said calmly:

"I saw a man following Hola into the alley before, but the next moment he disappeared."

He shouldn't have told Marlene.

But at this moment, he no longer cares. If Hal is really a shape-shifter, he wants her to be hunted. Even if the price is his own reputation, his family can protect him anyway.

If it was just this price, Marlene could kill a shapeshifter, allow him to make up for his past, and fill the hole in his heart.

He didn't hesitate.

But Marlene frowned:

"You mean that man? But he walked out on the other side of the street."

Jimmy said in horror:

"How is that possible? I obviously..."

Marlene said:

"From my perspective, you are quite far away from him."

Jimmy suddenly realized that he knew that Viper was going to kidnap Hala, so he would be surprised by his disappearance. But if Viper walked to the other end of the alley without stopping, in the eyes of others, he was just passing by.

That's all.

Jimmy lowered his head and murmured:

"But I felt it was only for a moment..."

Marlene said:

"You should be in a trance and unable to accurately judge the time, but it doesn't matter, you still found an abnormality. Although it seems like a misunderstanding, it is actually your subconscious mind that worked and you felt something was wrong through your intuition.

place, and then respond to you in a way you can understand.”

Jimmy said:

"but I……"

Marlene interrupted:

"There is nothing but, you have the talent to detect her essence, so now we only need to confirm whether she is a shape-shifter and whether her essence is evil."

Marlene took out a notebook and handed it to Jimmy:

"There are many ways to identify shapeshifters here. Read it carefully, and then come back to me here in five days and tell me what you have discovered these days."

Jimmy took the notebook and was a little at a loss. All of this happened smoothly beyond his expectation. If he continues like this, as long as he tells Marlene his judgment in five days, will he be able to ask her to kill the evil monster for him?

?

But does Marlene trust herself too much? Even if Ha La is not a shapeshifter, or she is not evil, if he deceives her, will Marlene still do it?

Jimmy didn't know, but he felt that things were developing a little strangely.

Marlene stood up:

"This is your chance, Jimmy, take advantage of it."

Marlene walked out of the coffee shop and took out a notebook from her arms.

If he doesn't control it, he is likely to self-destruct, which will alert the shapeshifters.

There are a few paragraphs written in the notebook.

"Don't do anything wrong, only take action against evil shapeshifters, remember the teacher's teachings.

"Smart non-human races are not monsters. They are no different from us, but how can I tell whether they deserve to die?

"The Staff of the Face-Flayer is the work of my father's life. It is an unparalleled masterpiece. With it, hunting shapeshifters will become easy..."

"And it's the only thing left by my father.

"What I need to prepare:

"Manpower, weapons, and bait.

"A shapeshifter was found in Tassen City (crossed out), and there are rumors of a shapeshifter in Dawn Town (crossed out)...

"The city of Aaron found traces of Meryl, but she quickly disappeared.

"A shapeshifter was discovered in Wharton City, and it is powerful enough to be used as a bait. Name: Hola, father: Hevin, an investor, suspected to be his adoptive father, may have been deceived, and it has not yet been confirmed whether he has killed humans.

.

"It was discovered that a human boy who had contact with a shape-shifter came from Dawn Town. He was the boy whose father was killed by a shape-shifter.

“It’s confirmed that Hola is excellent as a bait.
