Demon Slayer: Rise of The First Werewolf-Chapter 17: Detective Sanchez

She arrived at the station and saw seven exhausted people being interrogated by the police.

" Somebody keep me up, What’s happening?" She asked, one of the police man told her.

"These people came out of the sewers, they all claim they were kidnapped by a human eating slug monster."

She raised her eyebrow, " Slug monster? Did they go mad down there?"

The other cop shrugged, " I don’t know ma’am but they seem to truly believe what they say to be true."

She sighed, " They will need some therapy." She whispered and approached them then knelt In front of the Palmer girl.

" Hello sweetie, my name is detective Sanchez, could you tell me what you remember?"

She asked the little girl softly, the Palmer girl started fidgeting, she looked scared, really scared.

The young couple hugged her and comforted her, " It’s okay Lucy, you can talk to this nice lady."

Lucy raised her head and looked at detective Sanchez. " A monster took me from my room." She answered in a timid voice.

" A monster? Could describe this monster to me?" Lucy looked at the couple next to her and they nodded.

Before she could say anything somebody shouted her name. She raised her head and saw her parents.

" Lucy, Lucy sweetie mommy is here." Her mother shouted, Lucy jumped into her feet and ran towards her parents who hugged her with tears.

Sanchez followed behind her, " Mr and Mrs Palmer, I’m glad you have your daughter back, I will need to take her statement later when she calms if that’s okay with you."

The couple nodded but their attention was fully on their daughter. Sanchez watched them leave with the kid then addressed the others.

They were more calm than little Lucy, even though they were scared they were able to tell her what happened.

However the story was quite unbelievable, she started to think they were fed some hallucinogens down there.

" Okay that will be it for now, you might be called back later but for now, go home and rest."

They all nodded and left however not one returned to their homes, they were afraid of being alone right now.

The young couple even went and bought guns just in case. Sanchez say on her desk thinking.

This case had just gotten more confusing, a green slug monster and a young man who calls himself detective Sanchez.

She suspected that man was the same one who called themselves detective Lunar. She stood up and strapped her gun.

" Brown, let’s go." Her partner Brown grumbled.

" Really? But I’m just starting my break." She didn’t respond, begrudgingly he followed her but he didn’t leave his sandwich.

She drove to where the kidnapped people were first spotted then went down into the sewers.

She followed their recollection of the place but it was unclear, it took some time but she finally found what she was looking for.

" My God." Brown exclaimed but she couldn’t blame him for what they were looking at was hell itself.

A sticky green sludge hanged off the walls and ceiling like a spider web, on the floor there were human bones.

She couldn’t even tell how many people had been killed here, what she couldn’t understand was how nobody had ever discovered this.

The place smelled even worse then the rest of the sewers. " So, you think they were telling the truth?" Brown asked.

Sanchez didn’t have answer, a green monster was hard to believe but what she was seeing made it hard for her to dismiss their claims.

However it wasn’t easy to simply believe in monsters at her age. " Call this in." She told him.

" Where are you going?" Brown shouted as she left.

" To look for something." She replied and disappeared through one of the passages. The couple had told her this detective Lunar fellow had disappeared around here.

She had to admit, if there truly was monster then he was brave for leading it away to save others.

However she found that hard to believe, humans were not that selfless and self sacrificing.

She walked through the passages, it dark, even with her flashlight it was still hard to see.

Crunch, she stepped on something and pointed her flashlight at her feet.

" Yiii." She got startled and jumped back, what she had stepped on was a human bone.

She pointed her flashlight and saw more bones then saw a watch. This obviously used to be a human.

The remains were laying around a pool of a green slimy substance. She bent down and used her pen to pick up the watch.

The moment her pen touched the green sludge it started dissolving in real time, she flinched and jumped back.

Then she felt fear grip her heart, she wondered what would’ve happened if she had stepped on that instead of the bone.

Sanchez could imagine her entire foot dissolving and flinched then she grew quiet, this slime was starting to make her believe what they told her.

Not to mention the bones, she couldn’t clearly see the watch but it was obviously an expensive one.

The only one who could own something like that amongst the people who went missing was that bastard.

The others told her he was devoured and dissolved by the monster and these were mostly like his remains.

Which meant they were mostly likely telling the truth. " Ah, this is so frustrating." Sanchez was not equipped to deal with monsters.

She sighed, she should probably call this in as well, " Maybe I’m just going crazy." Strangely, she hoped she did.

Because if the streets of Lagon is now filled with monsters, there was nothing they mere humans can do but die.

She turned to leave then paused, " Wait, if that’s the monster, then who killed it?" A name came to her mind.

This detective Lunar was getting more and more mysterious to her, she wanted to find him even more now.

----------------------------------------------------------

Adrian had ran back home, he was still amazed by the potency of his poison, when he bit the slug he half expected the poison to do nothing.

Then he watched it dissolve something made of acid itself, it was amazing. He looked down at the fist sized sphere in his hand.

It was surrounded by green veins and pulsing like a heart, he gulped. " Now, What’s do with you?"
