【Nightmare of Grandmother and Parents' Tragic Death】
Zhu Hong (still in shock): "Ah!" (cold sweat, panting, clutching the blanket)
Fang Tong (rushing into the room and turning on the light): "Big sister, big sister, what's wrong? Another nightmare?"
Zhu Hong (recovering): "It's okay, I just had another dream about my parents and grandmother."
Fang Tong (handing over a glass of water): "Have some water."
Zhu Hong (drinking water): "I'm fine now, you should go back to sleep. It's only a little after four. I'll be okay, don't worry."
Fang Tong: "Okay, I'm going back. Let me know if you need anything."
Zhu Hong (with a gentle smile): "Hmm, go to sleep soon."
Zhu Hong had no sleepiness at all. She sat at the desk with a thin blanket, opened the photo album on her computer, and the first picture was of her and Ge Danglu, taken when Ge Danglu was promoted to the chief of police in City M two years ago. Over the past few years, Ge Danglu had taken care of Zhu Hong meticulously. Although they appeared not very intimate in their daily interactions as foster father and daughter, they both knew that they were the closest people to each other.
Ge Danglu On the first day of bringing Zhu Hong back, she was told the truth - the culprit who killed her parents and grandmother was not a human, but a werewolf! It was also from this day that Zhu Hong learned about the legend of the werewolf and realized that they had not disappeared. Her foster father shared a similar fate with her, so his lifelong wish was to kill all the werewolves and protect the safety of humanity.
Ge Danglu: "I won't let you change your name. This is a gift from your mom and dad, and you will always be Zhu Hong. I also hope that you will always remember the love your mom and dad had for you. I brought you back home because we have both encountered the same misfortune. You may not fully understand what I mean by misfortune right now, but I believe that you will become a brave and strong enough person. Red, do you want to become such a person?"
Xiao Zhu Hong (without hesitation): "I'm willing!"
Ge Danglu: "There are some things that others can't help us with, and they won't come to help us, so we can only do it ourselves, to set the rules of the game. You will suffer, get hurt, feel pain, and cry, but I hope you can persevere. For yourself, and for your parents and grandma."
Xiao Zhu Hong (with a childish determination): "I can do it! I'm not afraid of suffering, or getting hurt!"
Ge Danglu: "I know you miss your dad, but from now on, I am also your dad. Whether in public or private, try to call me dad. It will save us a lot of trouble, understand?"
Xiao Zhu Hong (hesitates): "Dad... Daddy..."
Ge Danglu (pats Xiao Zhu Hong's head): "Good! Good daughter! Let's start then!"
Before she turned eighteen, Ge Danglu subjected her to exceptionally rigorous devilish training, setting very high standards for physical fitness, reflexes, speed, explosive power, and more. One of the required courses was two magical techniques that were hard for ordinary people to believe in - creating a blade out of thin air and the formation of the Lawling Red Rope. At the same time, she had to attend regular school classes and not miss any extra art classes. She had to live as if she were two people, one for others and one for herself. On her eighteenth birthday, her father, who had been her lifeline for thirteen years, gave her a gift - to personally end the life of a werewolf.
Hesitation, reluctance, fear, soft-heartedness, and gathering all her strength, Zhu Hong struggled for over an hour before finally mustering the courage to fire the fatal shot. She cried, as if she were as miserable as when her parents died, crying until she was hoarse, until her heart stopped trembling. Ge Danglu watched the whole time without saying a word, without moving an inch, until Zhu Hong cried herself dry, and then calmly took out a new handgun and a bank card from his pocket. Zhu Hong understood that she would have to pave her own way from then on.
This is eight years of adventure. In the life that others see, she got into a top university and became a popular female anchor in City M. But in her own private life, she led a mysterious organization that hunted down werewolves, just like herself. The symbol of this organization held extraordinary significance for her - the Red beret.
The Little Red Riding Hoods would select lone wolf targets for their hunts, using tactics such as ambush, seduction, poisoning, and group attacks. They would employ any strategy to successfully eliminate their targets. Afterwards, they would leave behind a Red beret as a challenge and a signal.
Thinking about it, it's almost six o'clock.
I got up and pulled open the gauze curtain. The orange-pink sunlight spread across the clouds, and even through the glass, I could feel the warmth. Perhaps this might be the last time I see such a gentle and warm sunrise. In fifteen days, it will be the "Blood Wolf Ritual," which happens once every twenty years for the werewolves. Who can predict what the situation will be like then?
Zhu Hong: "Did we hook them?"
Fang Tong: "We did! The sanatorium reported that a special mark was found nearby, and the tracker has shown two or three fluctuations. It must be those things for sure."
Wen Xi: "We've been setting up for so long, and finally we're going to make a big move! It used to be one by one, not interesting at all."
Fang Tong: "Then what do you mean by interesting? It's not like we're playing around. Aren't you worried about how dangerous this is?"
Wen Xi: "I'm just trying to keep a positive attitude! Anyway, this account has to be settled once and for all."
Zhu Hong: "There's still half a month left. Make sure the sisters are well prepared and don't make any mistakes."
Wen Xi: "Big sister, rest assured!"
Fang Tong: "You're the one who can't rest assured! Big sister, I will make the arrangements."
Wen Xi (with disdain): "Hmph! Look down on people, will you!"
Fēi Fēi (tentatively): "Big sister, can I come along with you?"
Fang Tong/ Wen Xi: "No."
Fēi Fēi: "I'm already 12 years old!"
Wen Xi: "You know you're only 12! You can't even use Qi blades, and your red string can't fly more than five meters. Where do you think you're going? Just stay at home honestly!" (Pokes Fēi Fēi's forehead)
Zhu Hong (with deep concern): "Fēi Fēi, this mission is too dangerous. You must stay at home."
Fēi Fēi (anxiously): "But, I..."
Zhu Hong: "Listen to me!"
Fēi Fēi (pouting): "Oh~"
Two years ago, Zhu Hong acquired an old factory in the suburbs at a low price and renovated it into a nursing home, with a row of neatly planted water fir trees on the outer perimeter. At that time, Wen Xi joked that the money spent on buying and planting the trees was almost as much as the money spent on buying the land. In fact, she understood that only with a sufficient number of trees and landscaping could certain scenes be concealed.
The "Little Red Riding Hood" nursing home was very low-key, opening without any ceremonies, yet surprisingly, more than twenty people moved in within a week, all elderly women. The remote location, elderly residents, and dense tree planting made it a perfect dining spot for the wolf. There wouldn't be much attention, the elderly had little resistance, and the tall trees provided convenient cover for covert actions. By the time the truth came to light, there would be no trace left. The question is, how to make the wolf notice the "Little Red Riding Hood" nursing home?
This is not difficult, isn't there a popular female anchor! Since the opening of the park, Zhu Hong has been using her position to occasionally report one or two charity news about the sanatorium, and occasionally participate in the activities of the sanatorium, such as posting a status or giving a like, which can be considered as letting the public know about the existence of such a sanatorium in the suburbs without attracting excessive attention. Her purpose is very simple, which is to make the people who should pay attention notice it.
The fact is indeed as Zhu Hong wished. As early as when Zhu Hong first reported the news of the sanatorium, Lai Dai noticed the glaring Red beret emblem. Over the past two years, the werewolves in his tribe have been sporadically killed by a mysterious person. Judging from the technique, it should be the work of the same person. When he first heard that a werewolf's body had been thrown a Red beret, Lai Dai didn't pay much attention, but when he heard the mention of Red beret again in his subordinate's report, he immediately caught onto this special signal.
At this moment, Lai Dai is shaking the whiskey in his hand, but his gaze is fixed on the Red beret stored in the glass cabinet. Upon closer inspection, one can still discern a faint trace of blood on it. Could the person sending the signal be that little girl from back then?
Lai Dai didn't stop investigating, but damn, the police station always seemed to interfere at critical moments. He couldn't escalate the situation for now, and that Director Ge seemed to be naturally against him. The thought of his brothers' tragic deaths made Lai Dai grit his teeth. If it really was that little girl, how did she become so skilled, or rather, how did she have such a powerful background? With one provocation after another, he had to kill whoever it was. But where was the person?
It seemed like the heavens were helping Lai Dai again, as not long after, he saw on the news a new "Little Red Riding Hood" sanatorium.
【Live TV News】
Zhu Hong: "Recently, our city has welcomed a brand new nursing home - the Little Red Riding Hood Nursing Home, located in the West Mountain Scenic Area on the outskirts of the city. This nursing home has gathered many nursing experts, and all the staff responsible for accompanying care have received the highest standard of training. They solemnly promise to provide the most considerate, comfortable, and safe service to every elderly resident..." (Voice fades out)
What a coincidence, it's called "Little Red Riding Hood". And the darn logo happens to be a Red beret.
Coincidence? Take a look and you'll know.
The outskirts, elderly people, and dense trees make it the perfect location for the "Blood Wolf Ritual." On the night of the Red Moon, it will take at least twenty to thirty lives to satisfy the hunger of the werewolves under my command. Such a large target, if we were to act in the city as usual, would attract too much attention and risk premature exposure. It's better to choose a remote suburb, where even if something goes wrong, there are forests all around and we can retreat quickly.
Lai Dai's plan is well thought out, but they never realized that they were the ones being manipulated.
