◈ Episode 21 Abraham Van Helsing (2)
“Write. Rather hiss…”
Ludger interrupted Hans who was trying to say his real name.
“It’s Ludger now. “Call me Ludger Chelisi.”
“You mean Ludger Chelisi? ah. Come to think of it that was the name I sent it to in the letter. What on earth happened? “Why don’t we meet in the capital where we originally planned to meet?”
“It’s a long explanation. Rather…”
Ludger glanced at Hans and shook his head.
“It’s still the same as now causing accidents. “What kind of shame is that again this time?”
“shit. Do you know who does this because they want to be like this?”
Hans’ current appearance resembled that of a werewolf that would run away screaming from anyone who saw it on the street.
However it is dark now so if they had seen this in broad daylight people would have felt puzzled rather than running away.
Because Hans’ appearance did not have the characteristic ferocity of a werewolf at all.
To be exact it even had a cuteness that did not match its size.
“What bitten you again this time?”
“I don’t know. “It was a brown puppy with a lot of fur. Who would have thought that it would suddenly run up and bite me while it was in a woman’s arms?”
“Looking at its appearance I can roughly guess what type it is.”
Hans who is half-human and half-animal has brown fur.
However rather than the dark and dull color of wolves roaming the wild it is closer to the bright side that stands out.
Above all the shape of the face is very different from that of a wolf. It has a slightly shorter mouth and brighter eyes than the long head of a wolf.
okay.
That look exactly resembled the [Pomeranian] which is famous for being a cute pet dog.
The fluffy dog that Hans said bitten him was a Pomeranian.
“I’ve felt this for a long time but you were born with a very interesting constitution.”
“Holy shit. Don’t laugh at it because it’s someone else’s business. “I think I’ve been cursed or something.”
Hans is a human being born with a slightly unusual constitution.
It was said that when a beast bites oneself the beast’s kindness is revealed and the animal takes on that form.

A werewolf is a legendary legend that suddenly tears off human skin and explodes in wildness upon seeing the full moon.
That was Hans.
‘The only flaw is that it’s different from a normal werewolf.’
As the name suggests werewolves only transform into wolves and react to the full moon but Hans did not do that.
Hans remains fine even when looking at the full moon but is forced to mutate only when bitten by an animal.
Even as a beast that bit itself.
If you are bitten by a wolf you become a werewolf.
If you are bitten by a tiger you are a tiger.
If you get bitten by a bear wear a bear.
Hans who can change in this way can be seen as having quite great power.
The problem is that we were born in the wrong era.
‘In this day and age of advanced civilization and science where are the wolves tigers and bears in the city?’
These are people that you have to go into some deep and rugged mountains to find them.
And the prerequisite that something can only change if it is inherited is also absurd.
For wild predator-level animals being bitten simply transforms them and they die in one hit so you have to be bitten to transform?
If you don’t want to die it’s better to give up the idea of transformation.
As a result the only animals that Hans can easily encounter in the city are stray cats and wild dogs wandering along the streets or pet dogs kept by noble women.
There is even a problem where the animals rush to Hans whenever they see him perhaps because of his unique constitution.
It doesn’t matter if hair or something touches your skin.
The moment the animals bite into it if they like it this cursed ability awakens and disappears.
I have no intention of changing anything.
There was no right way to control it right now.
If Hans is even a little bit careless he gets bitten by a small animal and is forcibly transformed into a half-man half-animal form.
The sight before my eyes was also like that.
An unknown power different from magic.
What Hans possessed was actually close to a supernatural power.
“Take it.”
Ludger took out an injection ampoule filled with green reagent from his pocket and threw it at Hans.
Hans quickly grabbed the ampoule with both hands and put it on his forearm with a happy face.
Phew!
And immediately a change occurred.
The hair that had grown abundantly on the body decreased and the size that had grown gradually decreased.
The bright and cute Pomeranian face changed into a man with a slightly mean look.
Hans who returned to normal touched his body here and there and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hwiyu. “If it weren’t for my real brother I would have suffered for several more days.”
“If you think about it yes.”
It was quite a long time ago that Ludger met Hans.

At that time Hans was called a monster and chased everywhere because he could not control his constitution.
Still if he had the power to turn into a beast he could pretend to be a king in a back alley somewhere but since he was not good at fighting by nature he just wandered from place to place to avoid persecution.
Meeting Ludger at that time was for Hans the luck of a lifetime.
“When I first met you I almost died.”
“I did. “I thought you were a cryptid wandering the city.”
Cryptid refers to a strange creature that appears secretly throughout the city now that the monsters have disappeared.
These guys can be seen as the remnants of some kind of monster.
Compared to real monsters it was closer to a supernatural phenomenon.
Demonic beasts spirit beasts and other strange beasts. Or beings shaped by negative emotions reacting with magical power.
That was the Cryptid.
The reason Ludger visited Hans was because he received a request to subdue the Cryptid.
However when Ludger first encountered Hans he was quite embarrassed when he realized that he was not the werewolf he had imagined.
That’s because Hans at that time was a half-human half-animal type that resembled a Chihuahua.
It was the so-called were Chihuahua.
“I was quite surprised to find out later that you were a person who could speak properly.”
“Was that a surprise? “I was more surprised by my brother’s actions in quickly developing a cure.”
“It is not a cure. “It’s closer to a neutralizer.”
“That’s it.”
Hans snorted.
“If it weren’t for this medicine that my brother made in the first place I might have been hunted down as a monster in an alley somewhere.”
Ludger also did not deny that so he nodded.
“More than that the pseudonym this time is Ludger Chelisi. A teacher at Seorn Academy? When did you create the identity Ludger Chelisi again? When I heard it it seemed like I blew it a bit. “I was so surprised to hear that you suddenly became Seorn’s teacher through a letter.”
“It’s a bit long to explain the situation.”
Ludger explained how he became Seorn’s teacher starting with the terrorist incident that occurred on the magic engineering train.
Every time he heard the story Hans’ face would distort strangely and then change into a look of surprise.
After hearing the last words Hans couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
“Tsk tsk. Puhahaha! Your brother is really great too. How could he say he was Ludger there?”
“If you want to live you have to do it.”
“If it were me I would have thought it was suspicious. Even Ludger was originally a member of some unidentified secret society?”
“He was also an executive called the First Order.”
“hmm. First Order. “First came.”
“Do you know anything?”
Hans was stroking his chin and thinking.
It was his habit when he was trying to think of something.
“hmm. I think I’ve heard of it. No I definitely remember it. Have you ever heard of the recent uproar in the world behind the empire?”
“no. yet.”
“Well you might not know it because it happened so recently. They say that new guys have appeared recently and they say that only pretty strong and crazy guys have gathered there. Oh well when they call each other they say they are members or something but what kind of order do they rank them in?”
“It seems like they are definitely there. “What is the name of the organization?”
“This is the Black Dawn. Some call it the Black Dawn.”
Black Dawn. Or the Black Dawn.
Ludger pondered the name in his mind.
The people he was involved with were definitely not ordinary or normal.
They planted that number of people in Seorn assassinated the employees hid their identities and even infiltrated them.
These were guys you couldn’t help but be wary of.
“Is there any more information on them?”
“It’s so recent that I don’t know the details. All I know is the name of the organization and its rank. “But you’re now part of the First Order there?”
“It’s not that it happened but it’s a situation where the guy who was originally a member of the First Order took over.”
“I was lucky and got away with it now but if I make a mistake won’t I get caught?”
“okay.”
And if you are caught you will be tortured in ways beyond your imagination.
Ludger clicked his tongue and rummaged through his pockets.
“So you have to be prepared.”
Ludger took out the medicine cabinet and tried to take the medicine inside but when he realized that he had consumed all of it the previous day he held out his arm to Hans.
“My bag.”
“ah. “I brought it here.”
Hans immediately brought the black suit case hidden in the darkness of the alley and placed it in Ludger’s hand.
Ludger confirmed that his luggage bag was intact.
“You didn’t open it.”
“Are you going to open my bag and say I’m crazy? Even if I wanted to open it in the first place I couldn’t.”
Hans was disgusted and denied Ludger’s half-joking half-serious remark.
“I know. “Did you also meet Sheridan?”
“You mean that kid? Well we already met. “It was the car that was waiting for you there to begin with.”
“I’m sorry about that.”
“No I’m sorry. “Did you or we know that something like this would happen?”
Ludger opened his luggage and looked through all of his personal belongings inside.
It was the same as when I packed it up and put it in before sending it in.
Ludger took out two pills from the medicine cabinet and put them in his mouth.
Hans looked at Ludger with a slightly sad gaze.
“Your brother is having a hard time too.”
“well. “Should you just do it?”
“Well I’m like that too but now that I think about it my brother and I both live on drugs.”
“It’s a shame that unlike drugs there are no side effects.”
“So what do you plan to do next? Is there any proper way? “It is an unintentional status so there must be quite a few restrictions.”
“I’ll have to think about it later.”
Originally I had planned to use Seorn’s power to suppress them or interfere with their plan but that felt like it wasn’t enough.
Hoping that Seorn will deal with the Black Dawn is too optimistic.
There was a need for this side to move a little more actively and root out these guys.
“hmm.”
Ludger who was about to close the suit case he had opened suddenly remembered something and asked Hans a question.
“Hans. If you had already arrived here two days earlier wouldn’t you have asked me to meet you on the same day? “Why did you ask me to wait two more days?”
“What do you mean?”
“What are you talking about? The rumor that a werewolf had appeared the night before spread throughout Lederbelk. “There was even someone in Seorn who said they saw you.”
“yes? older brother. What do you mean? “I came to Lederbelk today.”
“what?”
Ludger asked that question without realizing it.
It was the same for Hans.
“More than that there were rumors of werewolves circulating in Lederbelk? “Before I came?”
“okay. “I thought it was you.”
“No that’s because I came today too. And you know my personality too. “If I had come the day before yesterday I would have asked to meet you right away. Would you have been here for two days?”
The two were silent for a moment.
So who is responsible for the werewolf rumors that are spreading now?
Awww!!!
At that moment a cry was heard from beyond the darkness mixed with fog.
It is said that we no longer face the danger of wild beasts in a civilized society.
There was no way the two men present could not understand the cries of this symbolic beast.
“older brother.”
“uh.”
Ludger leaned his back against the wall and watched his surroundings.
The sound of something moving quickly along with the sound of heavy breathing on the wind was echoing in my ears.
“A real werewolf.”
“You mean it was real and not a rumor?”
“maybe.”
At that moment Ludger and Hans simultaneously lifted their heads and looked up.
Between brick-built factories and factories.
At that moment I saw a black shadow passing quickly across the high rooftop.
The black-furred beast cast a trace of blood-red eye light into the air.
The foul smell unique to the animal hit the tip of my nose.
My instinct tells me that it is not a fake or anything.
Hans asked wiping away the chicken meat sticking out of his skin with his hand.
“It was really crazy… Brother shall we leave for now? “I don’t think he recognized us right away.”
“It’s only a matter of time.”
The werewolf was moving around quickly.
But it didn’t go far. This guy is wandering around the factory area moving around here and there.
It is now looking for prey.
‘I thought there was something in the werewolf’s neck just now.’
When a werewolf appeared in an instant.
Ludger’s eyes pierced the thick fog and clearly took in the werewolf’s form.
What particularly caught my attention was something similar to a dog tag hanging around the guy’s neck.
‘Is it something belonging to the person who ate it? no. Rather it was closer to a restraint like a leash.’
Maybe I saw it wrong.
It was such a fleeting moment that I might have mistaken something.
However the werewolf appeared in Lederbelk and the rumor spread throughout Seorn.
“Hans. “I guess I’ll have to check.”
“Is it OK? “You really want to catch that werewolf?”
“There’s something suspicious about that werewolf. “Maybe someone artificially freed him.”
“yes? “Who on earth did that…”
“We should check that now.”
Ludger said that and took things out of his suit case one by one.
A leather belt was tied around his waist. The multi-function belt was full of empty holsters.
Ludger put all kinds of items one by one into the empty slots on his belt.
Throwing weapons. Melee weapons. Vials containing reagents.
Lastly two revolvers that were pitch black.
chuck.
Ludger quickly inspected the firearm and placed it crosswise on his back.
Crash.
Ludger even wore gauntlets with mechanical devices on both forearms.
As Hans watched Ludger putting on the equipment one by one he remembered the first time he met him.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you use that.”
Even though all kinds of equipment were added Ludger’s appearance did not change.
As such the tools currently in use were very secret and not visible on the outside.
“Was it when I was working as a cryptid hunter? “Didn’t you use an alias back then?”
“I did.”
“What was its name? My brother must use a lot of pseudonyms. It seems like I can’t remember anything. “What’s the bar like?”
“Van Helsing.”
After putting on all his equipment Ludger closed his suit case and stood up.
His face was darkened by his hat.
“Abraham Van Helsing.”
That was the name Ludger once used when he was active as a hunter.
