"This monster feels a bit strong, but not too strong," Leyton said, looking at the monster's corpse on the ground, uttering something nonsensical.

"This is just a monster mutated after being infected by a werewolf. It doesn't possess Beyonder characteristics, but it enhances its physique by overdrawing its life force, while also gaining some of the werewolf's self-healing abilities," Mr. Kosith explained.

"It's roughly equivalent to Sequence 9 to Sequence 8," Mr. Kosith added.

Leyton felt like he was being mocked. As a Sequence 8, it would be very difficult for him to deal with this monster alone.

Relying on the advantages of his dual pathways, he would definitely be able to solve this monster, but the process would likely be very arduous. The reason he could solve the battle so simply and quickly just now was mainly due to Mr. Kosith's help.

"The main reason is that the combination of Reader and Mystery Pryer isn't very good. There are too many overlaps in advantages and disadvantages," Leyton said to himself, trying to justify himself.

"Should we look around again for other monsters?" Leyton looked at Mr. Kosith and asked.

Mr. Kosith nodded: "Yes, let's look around again, but it's unlikely there will be any."

Leyton nodded and continued to search around for other possible monsters. This time, Bugs Bunny followed closely beside Leyton, no longer daring to wander off on its own.

"I'm so hungry, do you have any fruit hidden in your hat?" Leyton said, staring at the top hat Bugs Bunny was wearing.

This rabbit had a habit of hiding things in its hat for performing magic tricks. Before, Leyton had even taken out cups, salt, cold roasted meat, and other things from the hat.

Bugs Bunny looked up at Leyton with a panicked expression, seeing that Leyton was serious. Only then did it reluctantly take off the hat it was wearing and take out two pears and a handful of nuts from inside.

"I only put these in," Bugs Bunny said, putting the two pears into Leyton's hand and then holding out a handful of nuts.

Leyton couldn't help but twitch his lips. This rabbit really made the most of this Sealed Artifact. In addition to the extraordinary effects of the hat itself, it could also be used to hold things.

"Let's keep the nuts for now. Eating too many of these will make you thirsty. Let's each have a pear," Leyton immediately decided, dividing up Bugs Bunny's magic props.

When Leyton and Bugs Bunny, one human and one rabbit, caught up with Mr. Kosith, who was walking ahead, while walking and gnawing on pears, Leyton saw Mr. Kosith's brow twitch slightly.

"Where did you get the pears?" Mr. Kosith asked, full of doubt.

"Bugs Bunny's magic props in his hat, there are also some nuts, Mr. Kosith, would you like some?" Leyton said, biting into the pear.

"No, thank you," Mr. Kosith shook his head and quickened his pace, checking the surrounding graves and grass for any unusual footprints.

After Leyton and Mr. Kosith re-examined the entire cemetery, it was already noon. Leyton divided half of the nuts in his hand to Mr. Kosith, and the two left the cemetery, chatting while eating.

"Mr. Kosith, how should we deal with the monster corpses in the cemetery?" Leyton asked.

"Go back and notify the church to handle it. Because of that monster infected by the werewolf, ordinary people won't dare to approach it for a short time," Mr. Kosith replied.

"We're not going to walk all the way back to the city, are we?" Leyton said, a little speechless, looking at the empty road.

"If we're lucky, we'll encounter a carriage on the road. Of course, that will be when we're closer to the city. It's impossible near the cemetery here," Mr. Kosith said, his tone rather helpless.

"Sigh!" Leyton sighed and took down Bugs Bunny, who was lying on his shoulder. Leyton felt that he couldn't bear to walk all the way back to the city with a fat rabbit on his shoulder.

"Waaah~ You're abusing small animals," Bugs Bunny protested.

"You're too fat, you need to lose weight!" Leyton said concisely.

"But walking back like this will kill the rabbit," Bugs Bunny continued to protest.

"That way, the werewolves passing by on the road won't eat you. Werewolves only eat fresh rabbits," Leyton scared Bugs Bunny.

"Werewolf!" Mr. Kosith's tone suddenly became serious.

"Mr. Kosith, your cooperation is perfect, Bugs Bunny is stunned," Leyton said, laughing as he looked at Bugs Bunny, who was clutching his trouser leg tightly and not daring to move.

"Werewolf! On the opposite side, be careful, try to take a detour and run back to the city later," Mr. Kosith said with a solemn tone.

Leyton was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He stiffly looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing a high scarf and a black top hat, dressed as a gentleman, staring at him and Mr. Kosith less than a hundred meters ahead on the road.

There were many seemingly fatal wounds on the other person's body, especially the left eye, as if someone had dug out the eye, with terrifying claw marks covering half of his face, but the wounds on his body were healing quickly.

The other person's arms were abnormally swollen, and tufts of gray short hair grew on the back of his hands, and his nails became sharp and long.

"Werewolf transformation, and injured? Did the captain and the others do it? But why did they let him escape?" Leyton's doubts piled up one after another, but his body was consciously retreating slowly.

"I have no malice!" The werewolf on the opposite side spoke first.

"A werewolf from the Rose School of Thought saying he has no malice?" Mr. Kosith said with a cold expression.

"I didn't join them willingly, and they are chasing me now, right behind. You don't need to believe me, just stay away and let me leave," the werewolf on the opposite side said anxiously.

"Otherwise, when the people from the Rose School of Thought catch up later, no matter what relationship you have with me, they will kill you as well," the werewolf on the opposite side added.

"This is not the Southern Continent, this is Madan, the junction of Lenberg!" Mr. Kosith's words carried a hint of threat.

"But those lunatics don't care about these things, the injuries on my body are proof," the werewolf on the opposite side said with disdain.

"He's right!" Leyton whispered to remind Mr. Kosith.

Members of the Indulgence Faction of the Rose School of Thought often don't consider such problems. When they were Sequence 8, they were called Lunatics.

"If what he said is true, letting him leave will mean that the two of us will have to hold back the pursuers behind him," Mr. Kosith whispered back.

Mr. Kosith's words made Leyton understand instantly that whether he and Mr. Kosith advanced or retreated, they were in danger.

In front of them was a werewolf from the Rose School of Thought, not knowing whether it was from the Indulgence Faction or the Temperance Faction, and further ahead were the pursuers from the Rose School of Thought. The suburban cemetery behind them was a stronghold for one of them.

"But we can't just stand here facing each other like this. We'll be in great danger when the Rose School of Thought members arrive later," Leyton said in a deep voice.

"When the time comes, you run along the small road next to where we came from, go around back. The captain and the others already know, just hold on until the captain and the others arrive," Mr. Kosith said, loading bullets into the pistol in his hand.

"Then what about you, Mr. Kosith?" Leyton's heart sank.

"Whether what the werewolf on the opposite side said is true or false, I have to stay here to disrupt their situation. Don't worry, I have a Sealed Artifact on me that can be used for combat," Mr. Kosith grinned and comforted Leyton.

While Leyton and Mr. Kosith were communicating, the werewolf on the opposite side seemed to sense some danger and ran wildly towards them.

"Go now," Mr. Kosith said in a deep voice.

Then he raised the pistol in his hand and fired two shots at the two people on the opposite side, one ordinary bullet and one purification bullet.

The two people on the opposite side collided head-on without dodging or avoiding. The purification bullet hit him, and a puff of black smoke rose. The werewolf bared his teeth, tilted to the side, and continued to rush over.

The distance of a hundred meters was crossed in just five or six seconds at the werewolf's speed. But after the werewolf rushed over, he suddenly braked sharply and stopped.

"You talked too much, I couldn't help but walk in front of you," a playful, hoarse, and malicious voice sounded not far behind.

Leyton and Mr. Kosith turned their heads sharply. Someone was already standing there behind them, without them knowing when.

He was wearing a brown cowboy hat and a gray-white trench coat, with a dark turtleneck sweater inside. The gaunt face had a pair of dark green eyes, and looking at it from the front, it seemed that the entire face was covered with stubble, giving a very wild feeling.

Leyton recognized this person, the figure he saw on the road when he went home yesterday, who also seemed to be the source of the vague unease in his heart.

"There's also a Sequence 8 Lunatic behind, they snatched my Sealed Artifact, it's an eye that allows the user to merge into the shadows, it should be in the hands of the Lunatic behind," the werewolf standing next to Leyton and Mr. Kosith said in a deep voice.

While speaking, he also reached out and subconsciously touched the already healed scar below his left eye.

The other party's words reminded Leyton of the person who seemed to be a Hermit he encountered a few days ago.

"Did I encounter them all in advance? This coincidence is worse than 0-08's script!" Leyton couldn't help but complain in his heart.
