"Have you ever heard of the saying 'the moon on the 15th is full on the 16th'?" The voice of Raven 12345 was low and slow, giving an initial impression of seriousness, but Hao Ren immediately realized: What seriousness! She's just feeling guilty!
"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Hao Ren clenched his teeth and spoke in a fierce tone.
Raven 12345 wasn't the least bit afraid, her voice was incredibly carefree: "I know, you definitely want to die with me—let me tell you, there are many people in this universe who want to die with me, and you'd have to wait until the end of the world to get in line..."
Hao Ren casually threw the data terminal aside; he was completely at a loss with the "goddess" who was both crazy and shameless. The data terminal loudly protested as it flew out: "Can't you take better care of your equipment! You can't transfer your conflict with your boss to me..."
"These days, when people can't win an argument, they just throw their phones. What can you do, you're a phone," Hao Ren glanced at the data terminal and then waved to everyone, "Everyone, get up, let's go home. We can't do anything today."
Hao Ren and Raven 12345 were communicating telepathically, and the others didn't hear. Izaak stood up, puzzled, and asked while packing up: "What did the goddess say to you?"
"She said the moon on the 15th is full on the 16th, and I'm planning how to die with her..."
Everyone: "..."
"How did we end up with such a one!" Even the usually gentle and polite Vivian couldn't help but have her forehead veins pop. After a brief daze, she started muttering and packing up. At this time, Lily was still squatting on the blanket, eating spicy sticks and drinking mineral water. Vivian, seeing the wretched wolf, became even angrier, "Big dog, can you show some backbone! Why are you the only one acting like nothing's wrong... Get up, get up, I'm packing up, you can eat when you get home... Big dog? Big dog, why aren't you talking?"
Vivian called Lily a few times, but the latter seemed not to hear. Her head slowly drooped, as if she was falling asleep while eating. A few seconds later, her shoulders began to tremble, and a strange sound came from her throat. With the experience from last time, Hao Ren immediately sensed something was wrong and went up to pat Lily's shoulder: "Lily, what's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
Lily shivered violently and then raised her head dazedly. Her golden eyes were frighteningly bright in the moonlight, with a halo of light rippling in them. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were unfocused, giving her a sense of excitement as if she were drunk: "Landlord... Ha... I feel my body is a bit... numb, and my hands and feet are a bit... itchy..."
"This is the transformation!" Hao Ren immediately remembered the signs of Lily's evolution that Raven 12345 had told him a few days ago. He instinctively jumped back a meter. His exclamation made Vivian and Izaak stop what they were doing, and the demon and the vampire quickly came over. Vivian carefully observed Lily's eyes and gestured for the others to back off: "It has indeed started. Everyone, step back a bit. She might be more dangerous after transforming... This aura is different from what I've seen in other werewolves."
Hao Ren looked up at the moon, puzzled: "Didn't she just say the moon on the 15th is full on the 16th... Is that crazy woman's influence already taking effect?"
Vivian focused on Lily's condition and then noticed the last half-pack of snacks in her hand. She immediately felt terrible: "This is probably the first werewolf I've seen transform not because of the moonlight, but because of eating too many spicy sticks..."
Izaak couldn't help but stumble, then started packing up while muttering: "Ever since I met you, I feel like my whole life before was wasted... I've seen more in these few days than in my entire life before."
Everyone, except for Lily who was almost out of control, got busy. Vivian was packing up, Izaak ran to a clearing a hundred meters away and drew some green demonic runes on the ground, and Hao Ren, following Raven 12345's advice, set the data terminal to detection mode and circled around Lily, collecting information on the energy field nearby—this was one of the reports to be given to Raven 12345 later.
Lily, who was still mentally clear (at least for now, Raven's "treatment" hadn't failed yet), saw everyone busy and couldn't sit still: "Landlord, landlord, what should I do?"
"Just stay here and squat. If you feel anything wrong, say it immediately," Hao Ren waved for Lily not to move and threw the data terminal on the ground nearby, "You be the detector."
The data terminal immediately protested: "Hey, wait! What if she transforms and goes wild and eats me?"
Hao Ren thought about it; it was said that werewolves had a strong appetite after transforming and would eat anything around them. So he quickly went to Vivian for some antacids and gave them to Lily: "Here, take these. If you have indigestion, take two. They'll definitely work."
Data terminal: "...You bastard..."
All the things were quickly packed up, and Vivian brought them to the defensive area marked by Izaak with demonic runes. Only a blanket was left under Lily's feet. At this moment, the strange phenomena around the werewolf girl were obvious even to ordinary people: a series of sourceless whirlwinds were swirling around her, the increasingly fast winds were tinged with an abnormal greenish glow. Hao Ren could feel alternating cold and hot air currents within twenty meters of Lily, but he couldn't get any closer: the greenish whirlwinds were as sharp as blades, and any pebbles that touched the whirlwinds were split in two. The blanket under Lily's feet was already cut into a spiral shape. Hao Ren didn't plan to test the hardness of his rigid shield against Lily's blade-like whirlwinds...
As the subject, the werewolf girl stood at the center of all these phenomena. A small area around her was extremely calm, like the eye of a typhoon. Lily, of course, wasn't afraid of the strange phenomena she caused; she was just curiously studying the whirlwinds and found that she could control them slightly, which made her very happy: "Landlord, landlord! I can cast spells too! That bat can't say I'm brainless anymore!"
Just by that sentence, her brain is still limited...
Hao Ren gave Lily an encouraging gesture and then ran to the safety zone a hundred meters away. The so-called "safety zone" was a circular clearing covered with green demonic runes. Izaak had summoned the runes and set up a protective layer. The runes floated a few centimeters above the ground, moving like living things, which looked a bit scary but should be reliable in terms of protection.
"The aura is very strong. The werewolves in your world are truly fascinating creatures, capable of such explosive growth," Izaak stood in the center of the runes, arms crossed, observing Lily's condition with interest, "Hmm... there's a change..."
Almost as soon as Izaak spoke, the whirlwinds around Lily suddenly burst out!
It was like a heavy bomb had hit the ground. The originally "gentle" greenish whirlwinds, after suddenly contracting, exploded in all directions. Countless green shockwaves spread out from Lily, causing a spectacular scene of flying sand and stones. The ground was literally shaved off in a fraction of a second. The demonic protection array where Hao Ren and the others were standing suddenly burst into a strong light, and all the runes rose into the air, forming a green shield that blocked the incoming shockwaves. However, the situation outside the shield was completely invisible.
The distance of a hundred meters seemed a bit too close; Izaak had misjudged Lily's power, and the three of them were basically within the shockwave's explosion radius...
"Awooo—"
A distant howl, as if from the clouds, suddenly echoed in their ears. The surrounding shockwaves abruptly calmed down. Izaak removed the shield, and Vivian used a strong wind to disperse the dust. An astonishing scene appeared before them.
The originally flat ground was now unrecognizable. In front of Hao Ren was a shallow depression with a radius of about a hundred meters. The green shockwaves had carved out a bowl-shaped pit, and he was standing at the edge of this depression.
In the center of the depression stood a huge beast, head held high.
The beast was about seven to eight meters long. Despite being on all fours, it was as imposing as Izaak in his demon form. It had snow-white fur, with only some black patterns on its face and shoulders. This was Lily after a complete transformation.
Hao Ren's first glance was at the beast's ears and tail. The triangular ears and the wagging white tail were exactly the same as Lily's human form, just much larger.
"How do I feel... a bit different from a wolf?" Vivian tilted her head and finally couldn't help but mutter.
Lily, still in the excitement of her complete transformation, looked up at the full moon and let out another loud and powerful howl: "Awooo... woof!"
Vivian finally clapped her hands: "Isn't this a husky!"
