"No."
Mu You glanced at the photo and shook his head in confusion.
His tone and expression were very natural, and there was nothing unusual about him.
But in fact, the moment he saw the photo, his heartbeat almost stopped.
Because, the figure in the photo was the night watchman after his transformation last night!
The photo seemed to be a screenshot of a surveillance camera, and the time was a silhouette taken from a distance when he first entered the park last night.
Mu You thought that his whereabouts last night were concealed enough, but he was still photographed. It seems that he still doesn't know enough about the layout of the surrounding surveillance...
Fortunately, his strengthened mental power yesterday helped him stabilize his heartbeat and breathing, preventing him from showing any flaws.
The policeman seemed to be asking casually. After Mu You shook his head, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Try not to go out at night recently. There may be criminals in your area."
After leaving this warning, the police turned and left.
"Uncle policeman, walk slowly."
After closing the door, Mu You did not go back to the house. Instead, he immediately put his ear to the wall behind the door and listened.
His enhanced hearing allowed him to clearly hear the sounds coming from the street outside.
A policewoman walked towards the policeman with a Chinese character and reported to him: "Captain Zhang, the forensic examination has confirmed that the dog does have wolf teeth marks...but there is something very strange about it."
"What?"
"According to the forensic doctor's judgment, the dog's neck seemed to have been broken first and then disemboweled by the wolf!"
"In other words, like the two previous murder cases, it is another 'wolf murder' case?"
"Yes, based on the current clues, it is very likely that it was the same murderer... But why did this murderer specifically kill a dog?"
"Where's the surveillance?"
"The surrounding surveillance cameras were disrupted and nothing was captured..."
…
The two voices outside the door gradually faded away, leaving only useless conversations.
"The werewolf has committed other crimes before?" Mu You was a little surprised.
The two policemen obviously didn't know about the existence of werewolves, so they could only infer that the case was that someone was "letting the wolf commit the crime."
What he didn't expect was that the werewolf seemed to have done similar things before, and it was also a murder!
Mu You hurriedly turned on his phone and searched for recent cases nearby.
It turns out!
Three months ago, two consecutive murders occurred in a nearby community. The victims were two unrelated young people living alone. Because the killing methods were similar, the police highly suspected that it was the same person, and it was finally defined as a serial murder case...
"Are these two dead young men also players?"
After reading the case report released by the police, Mu You could already make a rough guess.
This werewolf has obviously been a 'player' for a long time.
These two young men were probably new players who had just registered for the game three months ago. Because they touched the interests of werewolves in the game, they were hunted down by werewolf players. In the end, the werewolves discovered their identities in reality and died tragically. In their respective homes...
"What about today?"
Mu You thought of the dog corpse again today.
This werewolf went out to kill a dog in the middle of the night, and deliberately left the dog's body in such a conspicuous public place. Why... was it to express a protest against him?
The more Mu You thought about it, the more possible it became.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, not to mention that werewolves and civilians are originally two camps in the game.
Werewolves make a living by hunting civilians in the game, and when other players join the village, it will inevitably make werewolf hunting more difficult, and they may even kill werewolves. Then it is understandable that the werewolves do not allow other players to exist nearby.
"It seems that I have become the werewolf's third target..." Mu You frowned.
The only good news is that the other party still doesn't know his identity and location.
But this is only temporary. As a player, unless you don't play games at all, you will be more or less different from ordinary people.
Of course, this is the same for the werewolf. The werewolf's actions are so high-profile that it is impossible to be completely flawless.
If Mu You could find the werewolf's true identity in reality, even if he couldn't defeat him head-on, he could still attack him secretly. If that didn't work, he could use the power of the police to arrest him directly.
But if he is found by the werewolf first... then it's over. What happened to the two players three months ago will be his fate.
In short, it now depends on who of them finds who first.
Whoever can confirm the identity of the other party first will have the initiative!
Thinking of this, Mu You suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
"We can't keep herding sheep like this in the game. We have to improve our strength as soon as possible!"
In the game, you can get a lot of attribute points by upgrading. The werewolf is now at level seven. Just the attributes added by upgrading can crush him several times.
Therefore, he must also raise his level as soon as possible, at least before he encounters a werewolf next time, he cannot lag too far behind the opponent in terms of attributes.
"boss!"
A familiar voice came, and Mu You turned around to see Xiaoya walking into the pet shop holding a cup of milk tea.
"Boss, is something going on in the community? I saw a lot of police outside!" The house Xiaoya rents is in the community next door, only ten minutes away from the pet shop.
"Nothing... By the way, it's best not to go out at night recently. There may be criminals around here." Mu You relayed the words of the police officer to her.
"Oh..." Xiaoya nodded in confusion.
"Also, I have some things to do today, so I may not have time to help. Please take care of the store." Mu You said.
"Oh fine……"
Xiaoya looked at Mu You's serious face strangely, always feeling that he had something on his mind, but she didn't ask any more questions at this time and nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Mu You went straight back to the second floor and locked himself in the room.
Take out your phone and start "The Fool"!
Entering the game, the first thing is to use up the little remaining mobility from yesterday.
Mu You controlled the character and walked to the Iron Forge south of the village entrance.
[You come to Ironforge. The chimney on the roof of the blacksmith shop was steaming out, and the sound of tinkling could be heard from inside. 】
[It seems that the dwarf blacksmith has started business today. Do you want to enter immediately? 】
Two options, yes and no.
Mu You chooses 'Yes'.
[You entered Ironforge, and the dwarf blacksmith warmly welcomed you and asked about your forging needs. 】
【伱 showed the 'mithril' to the dwarf blacksmith. 】
["A piece of mithril." The dwarf blacksmith glanced at you in surprise, as if he didn't expect that you could get such a high-level material: "Mithril is an excellent magic casting material and is suitable for making most equipment. You can Choose to use it to make an armor to protect your fragile body; or you can also make a weapon. As an adventurer, how can you do it unarmed? Or do you want to use it to make some accessories with special functions?"]
There are three options: [Create Armor], [Create Weapons], and [Create Accessories].
There is no need to struggle with this option. Mu You now urgently needs to fight monsters to gain experience to upgrade. What he needs most is definitely weapons, and preferably long-range shooting weapons such as bows and arrows, muskets, and hand crossbows.
Long-range strikes can not only reduce the risk of injury, but also exert the spell effect of 'always on target'.
Muyou clicks 'Create Weapon'.
