We all miss Sheng Xiong very much. Many people have asked me how this Brothers is doing. I will tell you now that he has returned to his hometown city. This city is considered a big city in the northwest border, where all ethnic groups live together. In the city, there are many Central Asians or Russians and their descendants. After my job transfer, I slowly lost contact with Sheng Xiong until several years later, Sheng Xiong mailed me a letter through the old army, telling me that he had found out his family’s origins. secret. This letter recorded such a bizarre story: Things still started in October 2006, when Sheng Xiong was watching news online at home, and there was such a piece of news that attracted him: Russian Perm Region police officer Renat Klyuchevsky reported to Russian "Pravda" media reported: His family belongs to the legendary werewolf family. Renid said that when he was very young, he discovered that every full moon night, his father would quietly leave the house, and then stay out all night, not knowing what he was doing, and mysteriously come back when it was bright. One night when Renid was 10 years old, his father quietly walked out of the house while his family was asleep. Renid and his younger brother quietly followed behind his father. The moon was full at that time, and his father hurriedly came to the outside of the village under the moonlight. In a clearing in the woods outside the village, my father suddenly howled at the moon. The sound was very much like a wolf's howl. This discovery scared the brothers half to death and left a huge shadow in their hearts. In the winter of 1996, his father fell on the road and froze to death after being drunk. On the eve of his father's funeral, 1-year-old Renid witnessed another scene that made him Terror: At night, his father's body was wrapped in fine brown silk cloth and parked in an empty house at home. At Early Morning, several uncles, grandfathers, and great-grandmother walked in. Under the command of my great-grandmother, my grandfather and uncles untied the brown silk cloth layer by layer on my father's body and took off his clothes. Renid was surprised to find that his father's body was covered with fine gray hairs, which looked very Terror. Several uncles carried my father's body to the ground, and my grandfather took out a sharp knife and severed the hamstrings of his father's body... Third, after the funeral, my great-grandmother told Renid a terrible secret about the family. When Russia was still under the rule of Peter the Great, the ancestor of the Klyuchevsky Family, Kirylenko, was the most famous guard in Russia and stabbed Lofoad to death in a duel. Loveyard's wife Selila is a Jeep racing alchemist, and she vowed to pay for the Klyuchevsky Family with blood. At a banquet, Selila issued a poisonous curse in front of all the guests, asking the descendants of Klyuchevsky Family to turn into jackals one after another. Kirylenko shuddered at this, so he submitted his resignation to the count. On his way from St. Petersburg to Kiev, Peter the Great suddenly sent a messenger on horseback to catch up with them and award Kirylenko a knight's sword. This great honor has been Kirylenko’s dream for many years. Kirylenko fortunately thought he had escaped the curse of Selila. However, when Kirylenko just celebrated his 60th birthday, his fourth son Bond suddenly went crazy: he bit everyone he saw and howled horribly. Kirylenko was very shocked. He never expected that Selila’s curse would come true. Something even more terrifying happened: Bond gradually grew gray-white fur all over his body, like a scary big bad wolf. Kirylenko was very melancholy. When he was 90 years old, one of his 11-year-old grandson also had gray-white hair on his body. Kirylenko invited a wizard from an Arab country, hoping to break the curse of Selila. The wizard told Kirylenko that this curse cannot be broken. In order to protect more people in the family, every deceased person who becomes a werewolf must have their hamstrings broken. Otherwise, they will become vampires after death. After several generations of helplessness, this once glorious family began to slowly decline. Many clan members left the family and went to foreign lands in an attempt to escape the terrible curse! From that moment on, Renid has set his ambition: to break the curse that hangs over the Klyuchevsky Family! Renid came to Kiev, and then hiked to Rorol, 00 kilometers away from the city. In a wilderness, he found the long-abandoned Aman Castle. After staying for a whole day, Renid was ready to leave in the evening. Just when he stood up, with the afterglow of the sun, he suddenly discovered that on a wall of the castle, there was a portrait of a woman pressed under a boulder. On the woman's chest, there were a few words carved in Arabic. Renid wrote down those words and returned to the Kiev library. He opened the Arabic dictionary and found that those words were pronounced "Selila", which was the woman who cursed the Klyuchevsky Family. In the summer of 2006, Renid's great-grandmother and grandfather passed away one after another. Renid was determined to reveal the family secret to the world. He believed that someone would help him uncover this unsolved mystery. The report of "Pravda" immediately attracted widespread attention. Moscow University Human geneticist Puklo came to the Perm Region east of Moscow two days later and met with Renid police officer. Puklo and Renid come to Aman Castle again. Puklo carefully looked at the structure of the castle, rummaged through the rubble, and knocked here and there. After knocking, he said to Renid: "There is a cave here." Renid and Puklo carefully went down to the cave, holding the Flashlight tube, and slowly searched inside the cave. After walking about 0 meters, several huge rats rushed past his feet. Puklo: "It seems that it is safe here. Where there are rats, there is neither poisonous gas nor other scary animals." Puklo's words made Renid feel a lot calmer. The two of them walked forward a few meters while holding on to the damp wall, and reached the end of the cave. There was nothing inside except a few old wooden wine barrels that had long since rotted away.
On the vehicle back to Moscow, Puklo was pondering a question: where had the sword bestowed by Peter the Great gone? Why did the Klyuchevsky Family abandon such a luxurious castle to live in the distant countryside of Perm? Just after stepping out of the Moscow train station, Puklo suddenly felt dizzy and had no choice but to check into a hospital. The doctor examined his blood and found abnormalities. Strangely, Renid also fell ill. The two of them stayed in the hospital for a week, and Puklo said to Renid, "We have been exposed to radiation; it seems that there are ghosts in that cave."
Under Puklo's arrangement, people used a wind drill to break open the massive stone, only to discover that it was actually a hollow stone cabinet. Inside lay a disordered pile of decayed oilcloth, and in the center was a gleaming sword, which turned out to be the source of radiation.
The sword was taken back to Moscow University for identification, and the conclusion was that it contained radioactive element Polonium-210. The curse cast by Selila long ago was linked to the Polonium-210 within the sword. Evidence suggested that this sword had been given by Selila to Renid's ancestor under the name of Peter the Great. When crafting the sword, she had infused it with radioactive materials discovered during her alchemical experiments that could cause mutations in human bodies. The Klyuchevsky Family had been continuously exposed to this radioactive substance, resulting in genetic mutations. On nights of a full moon, changes in Earth's magnetic field and other energy fields would affect people's minds, causing the Klyuchevsky Family's "werewolves" to lose control and howl like wolves as a means to balance their fraying nerves and release energy from their bodies. Renid's ancestor had buried it as a permanent collection beneath the castle, unaware that this radiation would have fatal effects on future generations living there.
Upon learning about this matter, Sheng Xiong was astonished. He realized that the symptoms appearing in this family were almost identical to those in his own family. However, his family had never received royal gifts or possessed any heirlooms; without a source of radiation, how could they exhibit such symptoms?
Curious, Sheng Xiong delved into his family's genealogy and was surprised to find only ten generations recorded. In the first generation's entry, he discovered that their surname was Russian: Suddenly Klyuchevsky! It turned out that Sheng Xiong's family was a branch of the Klyuchevsky Family that had migrated to China, far from their homeland and unknown radiation. Sheng Xiong's ancestors took root in China and perhaps changed their surname to better integrate into local society. Additionally, due to being away from radiation and other factors like foreign soil and water, instances of symptoms among Sheng Xiong's family became increasingly rare until they eventually appeared only every other generation. Compared to the afflictions of the Russian Klyuchevsky Family, Sheng Xiong's lineage seemed like an improved version; those who exhibited symptoms were not only robust but also possessed immense strength and longevity. In his letter, he informed us that we had all guessed wrong; he should be considered a "mutated borderline werewolf," as there were tales of werewolves and vampires recorded throughout their genealogy. It was said that long ago, werewolf kin had come seeking them out but left upon discovering that this branch of "werewolves" was not legitimate and did not establish any fixed connection with them.
Sheng Xiong is now the deputy director of a grassroots police station. In his letter, he repeatedly invited me to visit them when I have time and asked for my help with something. I agreed because I knew that after we met again, another exciting story would unfold.
