Chapter 248 Lost in the Town
With the lights illuminating the city, the glazed dusk faded into the night. As Mu Hua and the other three drove back to Xiongzhu Town, strange events seemed to occur in the town.
Xiongzhu Town is located in a remote area. Although it is close to the eastern coast, it is located among the mountains.
To this day, there is still a large forest environment near the town. Originally, neither the garrison group nor the night hunters would pay attention here.
The garrison, which functions as a police force, is the oldest law enforcement agency in the town.
The small town that once lacked crowds had a relatively simple living atmosphere, and the residents of the small town were also familiar with the members of the police force.
On the road outside the town, Toby, who was driving, had uneasiness in his eyes, and Bellica, the co-pilot, had a solemn face.
Even though they gave up flying and chose to speed on the road, they should have returned to the town long ago, but they still seemed to be running in a loop on the same stretch of road outside the town.
"Miss Alex, can you tell me the specific situation you encountered?" She thought it was just an ordinary police dispatch, but she encountered a strange situation. Bellica asked Alex who was sitting in the back seat. asked.
Alex, a beautiful female Raider and member of the Otis team, once met Mu Hua at Webster's manor.
At this time, Alex was obviously very tired, with a little uneasiness in his eyes. He was holding a bone carving the size of a pendant in his hand, and his finger joints had lost some blood due to the hard squeeze.
"I just arrived in this town today. I wanted to get familiar with the town's environment, but I ended up in the forest for no reason."
"Because I couldn't get out of the forest, I thought I encountered a stray monster, so I called the police. You all know what happened next." Alex frowned and said.
"The stray monster? Is it the stray monster in the college who came out to play a prank?" Toby lowered the speed of the car and asked Bellica.
"Academy? Sprinkle branch? You actually allow them to raise monsters?" Alex asked. Bellica and Toby looked at each other, but did not answer Alex's words.
"When we found you, you were very close to the road, and the trees in the woods on the roadside were not too dense. Didn't you see the empty ship or hear the sound of a car?" Bellica asked Alex.
"No." Alex was very observant and realized that Bellica and the others did not want to talk about topics involving the academy, so he said no more.
Demons, also called demons, are creatures that occasionally wander around in the human world. There are different shapes and different levels of IQ.
There are many external forms of demons, from human to animal forms. Most of them have low physical strength and are almost the same as ordinary humans.
But because they have strange abilities, they are good at hiding, and their strength, weakness, good and evil are also uncertain.
And they seem to be conceived by men and male demons who transformed into women. . .
Monsters have a human side and a demonic side.
Usually they avoid humans because they have a strong sense of territory. Untamed demons are also very aggressive towards humans and are relatively taboo existences in the human world.
"It's probably not a wandering demon. I've never heard of a wandering demon interfering with a speeding car. What's the matter with your pendant?" Bellica glanced at Alex's palm and asked.
"I bought it in town because it felt like it had a weird magic to it. I thought it was a yard key or something."
"But after the weird thing happened, I threw it away several times, but every time it would come back to me inexplicably." Alex said.
"Yard key? How could anyone sell a yard key in this town? Which store did you buy it from?" Bellica asked questioningly.
"Not in a store, but an adventurer setting up a street stall." Alex's face flashed with embarrassment, and he only answered the source of the dominoes.
Needless to say, Alex probably bought the dominoes with the mentality of picking up the slack.
"It seems that the problem lies with this domino, Toby, stop the car first." Bellica said to Toby.
They had been driving on the road for a long time, and their perception of time was even a little hazy. At this time, it was as if they had encountered a ghost and were unable to get out of the way.
The familiar environment, endless loops, and nervousness made several people very tired. If they don't find the root of the problem, they may encounter other dangers if they just drive blindly.
"I just fired the flare, but I didn't see the 'eyes'." Stopping the police car, Toby wiped the sweat from his palms and said to Bellica.
People in this world are familiar with demons, which can be said to be the source of all mysteries. Therefore, even if people encounter this situation, they may be afraid and panicked, but they will not be at a loss after their cognition is subverted.
"Mu Hua's ravens usually don't leave the town. We're not sure where we are now. How about the positioning device?" Bellica asked Toby.
The so-called ‘eyes’ are Mu Hua’s blind ravens, and the people in the town have become accustomed to their existence.
If there are some loud noises in the town, they will also attract their attention. Toby is from a small town. He trusts his own people more than the new Night Hunters. When he fell into a strange and lost way earlier, Toby Attempts have been made to attract the attention of blind ravens or townsfolk.
Blind ravens will not leave the town, but Toby and Bellica do not know that when Mu Hua is not in town, these ravens will also not appear in the town.
Because they are summoned beasts, their independent range of action cannot be too far away from Mu Hua.
"The positioning device still shows the outskirts of the town, and there was no response from the police. We have been moving within ten kilometers south of the town."
"Miss Alex, can you ruin it?" Toby said to Belika and then to Alex.
"You can call me Alex, or Bonnie. I tried it. Even if I smash it, it will appear near me after a while, and we can't get rid of it." Alex squeezed the domino, Said helplessly.
"Then I still don't recommend you to hold it in your hand." Bellica was a little impatient. She seemed to be more resistant to Alex's "we" statement.
"What can I do? As long as I throw it away, there will be someone whispering in my ears. I hate that feeling! Damn it! I shouldn't have come to this damn place in the first place!" Alex said irritably.
"Calm down, Alex, Bellica, we all need to calm down." Seeing that the two women's tempers were rising, Toby hurriedly advised.
"If your legs didn't shake, you would be quite convincing." Bellica said to Toby angrily.
There were two women and one man. Among the three, Toby seemed to be more afraid of the situation in front of him. He was just an ordinary person. Although he joined the police force, he just wanted to find a job close to home.
"No matter what, we all need to calm down. We haven't left the town too far. Recently, the Night Hunters came to the town. Damn it, it seems they are not as effective as the legend says." Toby said in a high-pitched tone, somewhat forcefully.
Well, never mind fear or not, Toby is still a young man after all.
When a young man is with two beautiful young women, especially when he is in danger, he usually wants to appear more manly. . .
Faced with Toby's toughness, Bellica raised her eyebrows, as if she wanted to teach her partner how to behave. At this time, Alex in the back seat suddenly made a sound of surprise.
"Wait, look, there's someone!" Alex said, pointing out the car window.
"Witch." Bellica frowned, and as she spoke, she had already taken out her pistol.
"Witch?" Alex was surprised.
"Yes, Wandering Witch." Bellica confirmed. At this time, the three of them were a little more nervous than before.
In this strange environment, they met a wandering witch who seemed to have expected it and strolled towards them. Obviously, her appearance made the three people's insecure hearts even more uneasy.
