Prologue (2)

When Liu Yang finished listening to the story, he was very thoughtful, his wife-secretary just stood by him without saying a single word.

After a few seconds of thinking.

"Okay, our agency will try to help you with your request" Liu Yang spoke in a disinterested way.

"Sir, do you know what this shadow creature is?" Hu Feng asked curiously.

If the other side knew how to handle this kind of thing, it must also know what that thing is.

"Young Hu Feng, do you believe in urban legends?" Liu Yang did not answer the question and asked another question back.

"Urban legends? I don't really believe that, sometimes, it's just people who invent this kind of history to make the city more sinister. But within those lies, there are some truths" Hu Feng was a little skeptical about that kind of thing. He has seen movies read novels about that kind of thing, but he always thought they were lies told on the internet to try to scare people.

But what he saw those two nights was like a nightmare for him. Hu Feng even started to doubt his own beliefs.

"Young Hu Feng, why do you think urban legends are lies made up by people?" Liu Yang asked again.

"Because of the things that are on the internet, many of them are lies. Even if something is true, it is difficult to know" Hu Feng did not believe everything he read and saw on the internet.

"I see… Young Hu Feng, about your problem, do you still think it's a lie? Or a hallucination? Or a lying urban legend?"

"I ... I ..." Hu Feng didn't know how to answer Liu Yang's question. He was a little scared whenever he remembered the grotesque scenes of the shadow wolf devouring the bodies before.

When Hu Feng searched for the shadow wolf, he found many rumors on the internet. He is not the only person who has seen that grotesque and horrendous scene.

That was really shocking because he found out that he is not the only one who saw the shadow wolf.

The authors of the posts speak of similar experiences, they saw the shadow wolf devouring the bodies, and then they were chased until the shadow wolf suddenly disappeared.

Each of them went to the police in different regions of Haikou, but all report that the police say it was their hallucination and will not investigate the matter.

Some of the authors of the posts really think it was a hallucination because they only saw it once on that dark night. While others think it was real because they saw it twice and started having nightmares about the creature overnight.

"Young Hu Feng, have you heard of an urban legend called, the being that stalks dark places?" Liu Yang asked.

"Yes. This urban legend is something that has been talked about a lot on the city's blogs recently… Sir, are you saying that this urban legend is about the shadow creature?" Hu Feng thought for a while and came to that conclusion. He hadn't found that connection before.

"According to the rumors, some being is lurking in the dark alleys and parks without light at night. Young Hu Feng, you say the police didn't investigate, right?"

"Yes. They say it's just a hallucination"

"In fact, they have already done an investigation on the matter and you will be called to talk to them again in a few hours"

"Sir, how do you know that?" Hu Feng was startled to hear Liu Yang's words. He did not know that the police were actually doing the investigations and that he would have to go to the police station.

"I have some contacts, but this is not something you need to know. As for your request, I will try to help you, but you need to go to the police station when they call you, do you understand?"

"Yes. I understand my situation. About payment, how will this be done?" Hu Feng thinks that such a dangerous and strange service must be very expensive.

"The payment? You can do this later, when I finish doing this" Liu Yang replied casually.

"Sir, I thank you for listening to my story" Hu Feng stood up and bowed to Liu Yang before leaving.

"You are welcome"

Sometime later…

"Husband, so he's one of the ones who saw the shadow creature… These people are showing up more often. What are those idiot groups doing? Shouldn't they take care of the city? Why are they letting this happen?" Shysha responded with a tone of disdain. She was irritated because people were appearing every day asking about the shadow creature to them.

"Shysha, it looks like some idiot is causing trouble in the city again… Besides, you can't blame them for that, they don't have enough staff to keep an eye on the whole country every day, this is very expensive. They can only act slowly, but this problem is getting bigger and more dangerous. Someone is killing many people and taking their bodies." Liu Yang said solemnly.

"Do you think you are a mage, cultivator, or occultist doing this? According to reports from those clans, the shadow wolves are made of some kind of energy and disappear after they get too far from the summoner. But they don't know how the victims' bodies disappear after being swallowed by the shadow wolves."

"This is still a difficult thing to know. The clans are still investigating, but some members of them have already been killed. They are also asking for our help in dealing with this issue"

"They really are a useless group." Shysha complained.

"They have more problems to deal with, so this is normal. Throughout the country, something like this is happening"

"Husband, when will we have to go out and do the investigations?"

"They asked us to start this week, but I refused and asked to be next week. I have something very important to do this week and I will not change that date" Liu Yang spoke deeply before looking at the wooden bracelet on his wrist and then at the calendar.

"What kind of important issue is this? You're cheating on me?" Shysha sat on Liu Yang's lap and whispered happily. She also knows what date this is.

pahhh !!! pahhh !!!

"My dear wife, are you tempting me?" Liu Yang hit her two round, fat buttocks hard before kissing her lips.

"Husband, I'm just wondering about that important day that you commented on" She just closed her eyes and lay on his chest to enjoy his warmth.

"In two days it will be the tenth anniversary of that day. The day I met you, my dear wife" Liu Yang spoke lovingly and nostalgically.

Images of the past began to appear in their minds as they took advantage of each other's warmth.

That day is something the couple will never forget. The day they met and changed their destinies forever.
