Chapter 319: Chapter 317: Lycanthrope and Little Red Riding Hood

The man sighed and said, "The vast majority of the staff in Fairy Tale Town, as well as some of the town residents, are all monsters disguised as humans. These monsters have been living here for three years. Is this not enough to prove that harmonious coexistence is achievable?"

Jiao Xinlei still didn’t believe it, "To endure for three years is just for the sake of a greater conspiracy!"

"I advise you to give up earlier. You might be able to handle us ordinary Demon Hunters, but there should already be Rangers on their way here. You won’t be able to match a Ranger."

Jiao Xinlei wanted to persuade him. If this man backed off, perhaps the tourists trapped here wouldn’t need to die.

The man shook his head, his voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm, "Rangers... Heh, two have come, one codenamed Pervert and the other called Great Detective. They should be attempting to infiltrate this place by now, but it will be useless."

"’Great Detective’ is already under our surveillance. Although Pervert hasn’t shown his face yet, as soon as he appears in town, we will know. The mildness of Fairy Tale Town has caused you to underestimate its strength. Just sending two Rangers is simply sending them to their death."

"We don’t need to delay for long. My plan might succeed at any moment now, at the latest in two days, or possibly even now. The change might already be happening."

Having said this, the man turned and left. Jiao Xinlei was pulled up from the dining table by a Faceless maid and locked up again.

Watching the man’s retreating figure, Jiao Xinlei felt a slight chill. Why was this man so familiar with the movements of the Hunters Association?

He even knew exactly how many Supporters were coming, and during these five days, the local Hunters Association had hardly made any impact here at all.

All this seemed to point to a possibility, but Jiao Xinlei felt it was too fantastical to believe.

...

Little Xiaomi entered the town, landed on the ground, and swept her red eyes around, noticing no one nearby.

Then she reached into her white little dress, pulling out several lively, hopping mice and a massive beetle.

She threw those creatures onto the ground, creatures that would make ordinary girls scream, and watched them scatter in several directions before starting her own exploration.

The task Wen Wen had given her was merely to ascertain the situation here; he hadn’t given her a definite target, so her exploration was very much led by her own whims.

Along the way, she encountered a few Poker Soldiers, but these soldiers didn’t ask further questions upon seeing her ears and tail.

In this town, the monsters are the elites, the Poker Soldiers are the tools of the monsters, and ordinary humans, though they respond to every request, are more like the pets of the monsters.

She ran to the front of a house, peered through a window, and inside lived a family of three ordinary people who were eating breakfast, their table laden with high-quality ingredients.

The mother was clad in gold and silver, behind the father stood a stunning maid, and the son’s room was filled with an endless supply of toys.

All three family members had their needs completely met; they never thought of leaving, and they didn’t even consider themselves to be imprisoned.

Wen Wen also saw this scene, his brow furrowed.

"I can understand how miserable these ordinary people are, but isn’t this treatment much better than outside? What exactly are the motives of these monsters?"

Then, Wen Wen had Little Xiaomi look at a few more households, finding that their treatment was very much the same; not one person felt that they were suffering here.

In every family, there was definitely at least one monster.

Although Wen Wen must have been under surveillance, at least these monsters were also serving the residents. He had never even dreamt that Fairy Tale Town would look like this.

This shocked him more than a field strewn with corpses and rivers of blood.

The Mouse Puppets had also transmitted similar intelligence: if there weren’t an overwhelming number of monsters here, the happiness of the residents might even surpass many exemplary towns.

This place was different from Spectrum Town, where the residents were numb after being deceived. Here, the residents... they truly did not want to leave because of the ultimate pleasure they experienced.

"Why—what is their purpose... It would be great if that bastard Sifumo were here. Damn it, I forgot to ask for his phone number."

While Wen Wen had Bai Xiaomiao observing all around, two figures, one tall and one short, stood on a rooftop, coldly staring at Bai Xiaomiao.

The tall figure was a strong Lycanthrope, its head wrapped in a seductive floral scarf, exuding an unexpected aura of kindness. However, don’t be fooled by its appearance. From the way it drooled while looking at Bai Xiaomiao, it was clear that this creature was no benign entity.

The other was a little girl dressed in a long red coat with a hood. She seemed about the same age as Bai Xiaomiao, but her face was as cold as frost.

"Little... Little Red Riding Hood, this rabbit isn’t from the town. May I eat her?" the Lycanthrope asked humbly.

"If she’s not from the town, she’s a spy. Do as you like... but keep it quiet; His Majesty the King doesn’t like disturbances in the town," Little Red Riding Hood said coldly.

"Grandma will be careful; you can be assured."

"She’s just a Calamity Level runt. If you can’t handle her, I’ll flay your hide and find someone else to be my grandma."

After dropping the harsh threat, Little Red Riding Hood jumped down from the roof, while the Wolf Grandma let out a meager wolf howl towards the full moon, similar to a Husky’s yelp.

After three years at Little Red Riding Hood’s side, it no longer dared to howl loudly.

It was just a Lycanthrope, not a grandma. Hunting prey was its nature, but this instinct had been suppressed by the terrifying Little Red Riding Hood for three years. It was time for a release.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaomiao was still unaware that she had been targeted by a Lycanthrope. Wen Wen, using Bai Xiaomiao’s perspective, was even less aware of what she was encountering.

Walking along, Bai Xiaomiao spotted an empty house; she was curious and wanted to explore, but Wen Wen stopped her.

In such an environment, an empty house was far more dangerous than one with inhabitants. There was value in exploring here, but caution was necessary.

She was about to explore the room following Wen Wen’s provided procedure when her fur stood on end.

As a monster that had grown up in the Qi Ling Mountain Range, Bai Xiaomiao knew what this feeling meant—she had been spotted by a natural predator!

So, she tensed her legs and powerfully kicked, leaping from the spot.

At that moment, a huge Lycanthrope leaped from the roof, smashing a big hole where she had just been standing, grimly looking at her while dripping foetid saliva.

And Bai Xiaomiao’s legs were slightly trembling.

Lycans were natural predators to rabbits. Even a Lycanthrope of the same level was beyond her, and this one possessed Calamity Level strength!
