Chapter 278 Scissors and Hunter

When An Zhiyan saw the dried blood on the floor, she calmed down.

She is a veteran after all.

Compared to a terrifying werewolf that could pose a threat to her, a corpse was obviously not that scary.

She didn't rush over to check, but continued to observe the situation in the house.

On the ground over there, there was a dropped basket with a lot of food scattered around it.

Moldy bread and rotten fruit.

She moved slowly towards that direction, and then found a prop under the bed that she thought was very important.

A pair of rusty scissors.

When I picked it up, I saw that there were hair and long-dried blood stains on it.

Moreover, this is a card item.

[Grandma's scissors], grandma usually uses it to cut cloth. Although it is old, it is still sharp - at a critical moment, it can also be used to cut open the belly!

An Zhiyan, who knew the plot of "Little Red Riding Hood", immediately knew what this thing was.

In the original story, both the grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood were swallowed by the wolf. It was a hunter passing by who saw through the wolf's true identity, and then cut open the wolf's belly while it was sleeping, saving Little Red Riding Hood and the grandmother.
And here, there is a pair of scissors that have obviously cut flesh and blood and still have animal hair stuck to it.

Does this mean that the current timeline is actually the timeline after the original plot?
According to An Zhiyan's experience, the card props in the scene are very important. They are either related to the plot, and the plot is related to the clearance process of the scene, or they are powerful props that can be used in other places.

For example, some weapons, armor or functional props.

Holding a pair of scissors, An Zhiyan continued searching. There were indeed a lot of bloodstains on the bed, but they had long since dried up and merged with the bed, emitting a foul odor.

The scattered food has no value.

After finding nothing else, An Zhiyan finally turned her attention to the corpse on the recliner over there.

The corpse had its back to her, and judging from the dried blood on the ground, it had been dead for some time.

Still maintaining a safe distance, he slowly moved around from the side.

The recliner is farther away from the window, making it darker, but you can still see that there is an old woman sitting on it.

"Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother?" An Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat.

To be honest, An Zhiyan didn't want to go over to check the body.

She had a feeling that getting close to a corpse was not a safe thing to do, and in other scenarios in the past, she had tried her best to avoid doing such things.

But the current situation is very special.

The grandmother who was supposed to live happily with Little Red Riding Hood actually died. So, how she died is undoubtedly a key clue.

Must be mastered.

Thinking of this, she moved her injured leg. After treatment and detoxification, the original pain and numbness were relieved a lot. Although her calf was still a little bruised and swollen, it did not affect her normal movement.

An Zhiyan reached out with the branch in her hand and poked her grandmother who was sitting on the recliner.

Crunch, crunch~
The recliner began to sway slightly under the influence of external force.

Grandma's body also swayed back and forth on the recliner.

There was a feeling that I would sit up in the next second.

Dead indeed.

An Zhiyan waited until the rocking chair stopped rocking before slowly approaching.

Looking closely, grandma's body was a horrific sight, with lacerations all over her body from the claws and bites. Because the wounds were old, the flesh that was turned outward had long since hardened and turned brown.

He must have been killed by a wolf.

"Wait a minute, what am I afraid of? I'm not a novice, I'm a veteran and should have been immune to the impact of this kind of plot. After all, no matter how weird and outrageous the level scene design is, it is essentially a game that can be completed. Since it is a game, we have to look at the problem from the player's perspective and must not be led by the plot and settings in the scene." An Zhiyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"At present, one of the themes of the fairytale town must include the element of 'survival', which means ensuring survival first. Normally, this place has been attacked before, so it is relatively safe. I can hide here temporarily. According to my observation, even if the moon is blocked by clouds, she will be dangerous and cannot be approached even if she regains her human form. So it should be relatively safe to wait until dawn, and it won't be too late to act then."

An Zhiyan immediately made the next plan based on the actual situation.

She calmed down a lot and opened her eyes, but the next moment, she felt like she was struck by lightning again. Her scalp exploded and her whole body stiffened, because she saw that her grandmother, who had been lying motionless with her head tilted, had turned her head around at some point and was facing her, their eyes meeting.

If you look closely, you will see that half of the skin on the other side of grandma's face has been torn off.

But the exposed flesh and teeth did not look like those of a normal human.

He has strong muscles, and his neck is covered with dense white hair that extends into his clothes. His exposed teeth are incredibly large and sharp.

Especially the canine teeth.

More than a finger long.

With an arc, like a wolf's tooth.

By the way, when I looked at grandma's face just now, I felt it was very strange. At first, An Zhiyan thought it was because grandma was ugly and her mouth was a little too protruding, but now it seems that it is not the case. This grandma seems to be a werewolf.

Most importantly, this isn't a corpse at all.

She (it) is still alive!

A dense layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on my neck.

In the cold moonlight, only half of my grandmother's face was exposed. Her eyes were glowing green, her pupils were visibly shrunk, and from her throat, one could faintly hear the peculiar low growl of a wild beast.

The next moment, the grandmother who was originally sitting on the recliner stood up and rushed over, knocking An Zhiyan to the ground before she could react.

Then he bit her shoulder.

The shock and severe pain instantly woke An Zhiyan up from her shock and fear, and she immediately responded to the stress.

First, she used the scissors in her hand to fiercely stab the grandmother's neck, while resisting the other party's continued biting. In addition, she activated the [Adrenaline] in her hand without hesitation.
There was an immediate loud noise and vibration in grandma's little house.

Or the sound of something breaking.

Amid the chaotic noise, the beast-like growl continued for a few seconds before suddenly disappearing.

The cabin seemed to have returned to silence once again.

In the deep forest in the distance, two figures were startled by the sound. They looked at each other and then quickly moved towards this side.

About thirty meters away from the cabin, he stopped behind a big tree and hid his body.

"Listen, there's someone inside!" someone said in a low voice.

"Nonsense!" The other person was obviously in a bad mood.

"This seems to be 'Grandma's Cottage' No. 17. I don't know which unlucky person dared to go in there."

"You really like to talk nonsense. Is there any need to ask this? Only newcomers who don't know the situation will go in. If you are a senior, of course you won't go in."

"That's right. There are more than a dozen identical huts in this area. If you pay a little attention, you will find that this is a trap."

"That's not the case. Although it's a trap, it's also an opportunity. However, only newcomers can trigger the special plot."

"Oh, that's what you say, but in such a long time, have you ever seen any newcomer trigger it?" After saying that, the man was about to leave.

The other person also planned to turn around and leave, after all, this matter had nothing to do with them.

Although there are only a few new people coming to Fairy Tale Town every once in a while, they will not risk their lives to save others.

As a 'veteran of the fairy tale town', they knew very well that none of the dozen or so grandmother's cottages in this forest could be entered.

Because in every cabin, there is a 'Grandma Wolf'.

But at this moment, a creaking sound came from the wooden house over there.

The two were stunned, and immediately lowered their bodies and turned their heads to look.

Then a man pushed open the wooden door and walked out.

"Hey, according to the rules, Grandma Wolf can't leave the hut, this..."

"Are you blind? That's not Grandma Wolf."

The two talked quietly.

The person who walked out of the house was staggering, with blood all over his body, especially his shoulders and arms, which were almost stained red with blood.

His hair was disheveled, there were scratches on his face and neck, and his clothes were in tatters.

The man held a pair of scissors in one hand and a half-human, half-wolf head in the other. The head was obviously cut off. If you look closely, it is the head of the wolf grandmother.

The two people who saw all this in the moonlight felt it was incredible.

"This is a woman. She, she actually killed the wolf grandmother alone? Who is she?"

".Wait a minute, why is she looking over here? Oh no, she's spotted us, run!"

As soon as the word "run" was shouted, the two men almost immediately ran off in different directions.

This was the experience they had learned from surviving in this forest for so long: no matter what danger they encountered, if they fled separately, at least one person would be able to escape. Of course, whoever was caught would be unlucky.

One of them ran along the rugged path in the forest for less than a minute when he felt a chill on his ankle. He then fell to the ground and tumbled several times. When he tried to stand up, he was held down by someone.

The scissors were already against his neck.

"Don't kill me, I'm a hunter."

"Hunter?" An Zhiyan's fingers were trembling slightly at this moment.

This was not because she was afraid, but the effect of using [Adrenaline].

While adrenaline is taking effect, she will be in an extremely excited state. Her heart is like a powerful water pump, circulating blood several times more efficiently than usual. Under the effect of adrenaline, her breathing speeds up and her pupils dilate, thereby generating tremendous energy.
