Moon Shadow：A werewolf's struggle

Chapter 6 The Double Test of Identity

Lin Yue followed Li Mo into a dense forest, where the shadows of the trees swayed, and the sun shone through the dense leaves on the ground, forming mottled light and shadow. The two walked in silence, and Lin Yue was full of questions, but he knew that Li Mo had his own rhythm and was not in a hurry to ask questions. He vaguely felt that the place where Li Mo was going to take him was not only a training place, but also a key place to reveal some secrets.

As they went deeper, Lin Yue felt that the atmosphere around him became more oppressive, as if there were some unknown secrets hidden in this forest. Li Mo's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at Lin Yue with a complicated expression.

"Lin Yue," Li Mo spoke slowly, with a hint of heaviness in his voice, "There are things I need to tell you, this is about my past and my role in the tribe."

Lin Yue felt his heartbeat quicken, and he vaguely realized that what Li Mo was about to reveal might change his view of Li Mo as a person.

"You know, I'm a member of the werewolf tribe and your mentor." Li Mo continued, "But I'm not just a simple mentor. I have another identity, an identity that you may find hard to imagine."

Lin Yue didn't speak, but just listened attentively. He felt that Li Mo's words were full of deep contradictions and struggles.

"I used to be a member of a secret organization." Li Mo finally said, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes. "You already know about this organization. Their goal is to control or even eliminate the werewolf tribe. I used to be a part of them and even participated in actions against our tribe."

Lin Yue looked at Li Mo in shock, not expecting him to have such a background. Li Mo, the man who had been guiding him on how to control power and protect the tribe, was once their enemy.

"Why... why did you join them?" Lin Yue couldn't help asking, with uncontrollable doubts in his tone.

Li Mo smiled bitterly, as if he had already anticipated Lin Yue's reaction. He looked up into the distance, as if recalling the past years.

"That was many years ago," Li Mo's voice was a little tired, "When I was young, I was confused and puzzled about my identity. I was born in an ordinary human family and didn't know my true identity since I was a child. It was not until I became an adult that I gradually discovered that I was different from ordinary people."

Lin Yue listened silently, his heart full of sympathy and doubts.

"At that time, I felt extremely lonely and scared, and didn't know how to face this sudden power." Li Mo continued, "It was then that the secret organization found me. They reached out to me, told me that I could control this power, and guided me to become a powerful person."

"How did they find you?" Lin Yue couldn't help asking.

"The secret organization has been monitoring special individuals and looking for those with supernatural powers." Li Mo explained, "They use technological means and information networks to identify those who may have abnormal abilities. And I am one of their targets."

Lin Yue felt a chill and realized that this secret organization was more powerful and dangerous than he had imagined.

"I didn't know their real purpose at the time, I just felt that I had found my home." Li Mo sighed, "I accepted their training and became one of them. At first, I just wanted to learn to control my power and protect myself. But as time went on, I gradually discovered their true intentions - they wanted to use me, people like us with special abilities, to achieve their ambitions."

"Their ambitions?" Lin Yue felt a little uneasy.

"Their goal is not only to control the power of werewolves, but also to achieve the goal of ruling by controlling all supernatural individuals." Li Mo's voice became cold, "When I realized this, it was too late. I was already deeply involved and became their tool."

"Then how did you get rid of them?" Lin Yue asked anxiously.

"It was a long and painful process." Li Mo closed his eyes, as if recalling those unbearable times. "I had to hide my true thoughts and pretend to continue to work for them. At the same time, I began to secretly look for the tribe, trying to find compatriots with the same fate as me."

"Finally, I found the werewolf tribe." Li Mo's voice was relieved, "I realized that only by returning to the tribe can I truly find myself. I accumulated a lot of intelligence within the secret organization and brought this information to the tribe to help them deal with the threats of the secret organization."

"But this also means that you are walking a tightrope between the secret organization and the werewolf tribe." Lin Yue's voice was low, and he began to understand Li Mo's inner contradictions.

"That's right." Li Mo nodded and admitted, "I have to find a balance between the two identities. On the one hand, I need to protect the tribe and help them fight against the pursuit of the secret organization. On the other hand, I must maintain the secret organization's trust in me and avoid exposing my identity."

Lin Yue felt a complex emotion surge in his heart. He couldn't imagine the pressure and pain that Li Mo endured under such a dual identity.

"Are you still a member of the secret organization now?" Lin Yue asked carefully, fearing that he would touch Li Mo's sore spot.

"Formally, yes." Li Mo admitted frankly, "I have to continue pretending to work for them in order to obtain internal intelligence and buy time and opportunities for the tribe. But my heart has long belonged to the werewolf tribe, and I will do everything I can to protect our people."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, and he realized that Li Mo's dual identity was not a simple choice, but a difficult decision made for the survival of the tribe.

"I'm sorry, Lin Yue." Li Mo's tone was full of heavy apology, "I didn't tell you this earlier, but I had to make sure you were ready to face these truths."

Lin Yue nodded, although he still felt shaken in his heart, he began to understand the motives behind everything Li Mo did.

"I understand, Li Mo." Lin Yue said calmly, "You are protecting the tribe in your own way. And I will do my best to help you and our people."

Li Mo smiled with a sense of relief, "You have come a long way, Lin Yue. I believe you will do better than me in the future."

The two continued to walk towards the depths of the dense forest, and Lin Yue's heart was no longer just confused and fearful. He knew that what he faced was not only the problem of how to control power, but also how to find a balance between light and darkness in this complex world.
