Chapter 54: Unknown Unconscious Person
[Donald’s Perspective]
I followed his finger and looked over. There were indeed two deep wounds on his leg, as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon. His flesh was turned over, but the bleeding had stopped.
Werewolves had very strong self-healing abilities. Not to mention the royal Lycans, even ordinary werewolves would recover from such injuries in two or three days. They wouldn’t even leave any scars.
“Unconscious?” I realized he had said “knocked out”.
“You mean he’s not dead?” Elliot interjected.
“I can’t be sure.” The crouching man straightened up. His name was Benjamin, and he was the only therapist in our assault team.
He did not have the same powerful combat ability as the others, but he had a very special healing ability. The green energy between his palms could not only heal ordinary external injuries, but it could also detect where the body was injured and heal it. Benjamin was also proficient in pharmacology. He was the medical security of the entire assault team.
“I checked his body from the inside out twice. Other than the external injuries, I didn’t find anything abnormal. His body isn’t very strong, but his breathing and pulse are normal. Therefore, my judgment is that he’s not dead, only unconscious. Moreover, his internal organs are failing. I suspect that he’s exhausted.”
This judgment was unexpected for all of us. I turned back to Armstrong and asked, “Are you sure this isn’t someone from your patrol squad?”
“I’m sure,” Armstrong said in a low voice. “Elizabeth and I were the first to get here. We came when we heard an unusual noise. He was lying here when I first saw him. I was careful not to get too close and just observed from a distance. I didn’t approach him until I called Anthony over. Anthony knows everyone on the patrol. He confirmed that he wasn’t an insider.”
“Could it be a resident of the pack who stumbled in?” Elliot asked.
Armstrong shook his head and said, “I’ve given strict orders not to enter the forest. I’ve also placed guards at the entrance. It’s a distance from here to the Pack House where the residents live. It’s difficult for ordinary people to get here. And so far, no one has reported anyone missing from their house. I think it’s unlikely that he’s a pack resident.
In fact, I’ve just sent someone to ask around in the name of household registration. I don’t want to cause panic in the pack for no reason, but so far, there’s no news,” Armstrong added.
I looked at Armstrong with approval. He had done his duty as an Alpha very well. If we excluded the people from the Silver Moon Tribe, then…
I had to turn my gaze to Angel and say, “Did you just say that the assault team was attacked and that your team chased the attacker all the way here?”
“Yes.”
“What kind of attack was it?”
“I only came here because I got the news. I’m not on duty today.” Angel glanced at me and made room. “This is Karl.”
“I saw a silver flash. The other party moved very quickly. I didn’t see where he came from and immediately made a defensive move. The other party retreated quickly after failing to hit me. I followed his aura and chased after him, but he seemed to have something on him that blocked the smell. I didn’t chase him very smoothly. It was off and on until I lost track of his scent,” Karl said.
“And?” Elliot asked.
“I sent a message to the commander before I tracked him,” Karl said. “Then the commander told me to wait for her where we lost him.”
“I exchanged Mindlinks with Alpha earlier. He informed me as soon as he found this person. I was almost in the forest by then. I felt that something was wrong and was worried that someone needed to be treated, so I notified Benjamin to come over,” Angel continued.
The sequence of the day’s events was clear. The only thing that was unclear was who this unconscious person was. If he wasn’t from the Silver Moon Tribe and wasn’t one of us, then this person’s identity was very suspicious.
“Did you check him out?” Elliot said.
“I checked him out myself. He doesn’t have anything on him,” Angel replied. “Karl also confirmed that this person doesn’t have the aura of an attacker.”
“That doesn’t rule out the possibility that he’s the attacker,” I said. “Right now, he’s the only suspicious person. For all we know, he could be the key to unlocking the mystery of these attacks.”
“So what do we do with him now?” Elliot asked.
“Take him back first.” I glanced at the person on the ground and ordered them, one by one, “Elliot, take Margaret and the others back. You have to keep them safe.”
I felt the assessing gaze from Angel and continued without changing my expression, “Angel, take your men back and reorganize the patrol. Be prepared for similar attacks. If it happens again, I hope you can apprehend the attackers.”
Finally, I turned to look at Armstrong. “Alpha, I think we need to discuss the current situation again.”
