Chapter 222
The other person's face looked very pale, with faint blue and black veins bulging out. The first impression he gave was like a vampire in movies and TV shows.
But vampires are not as dishonest as him.
Robb, who had seen and killed a vampire with his own eyes, opened his vision.
The other party looks like an ordinary person, not a vampire or anything like that.
There's just one thing, there's always something wrong with this person's aura.
Robb's spiritual vision is not omnipotent. It is more about exploring spirituality. He cannot understand the whole picture and cannot tell the specific reason.
At this time, the middle-aged man who noticed Robb's gaze looked over, took a deep look at Robb, smiled reluctantly, and left on his own.
"Are the people in this town seriously ill?" Ivanka distanced herself from the middle-aged man. After the man left, she said with a serious face.
Along the way, she saw a few people with pale faces like this.
"Maybe." Robb didn't care.
With his current physique, he is invulnerable to all poisons and has no worries about any disease at all.
But Ivanka.
He turned around and said, "Ivanka, how about you go back to the car first?"
Ivanka shook her head and said a sentence familiar to everyone: "Everyone is here."
If there is any disease, it will be caught early.
If you haven't contracted it, then you don't have to worry about it.
Although she is a mature and intellectual big sister, Ivanka still inherits the bold style of the American people when it comes to taking risks.
Seeing this, Robb offered no further persuasion.
The two continued to go deep into the town, which had a strange atmosphere.
A quarter of an hour later, when they turned onto the Great River Road.
A piercing whistle sounded from behind, and a heavy-duty truck sped past them at extremely fast speeds.
Her blond ponytail swayed from side to side in the strong wind of the approaching heavy truck. A look of dissatisfaction flashed across Ivanka's face as she said, "Heavy trucks should not be allowed to pass by on this road."
There are rows of houses next to it, and the road is so narrow.
At the speed of a heavy truck, it is easy for children at home to cause a car accident.
"Ivanka, let's wait and see when you become a member of the House and propose a rectification bill."
Robb said, pointing to the back of a house and saying, "Look there."
Ivanka followed what Robb pointed and saw a group of children walking into the forest.
this is nothing.
What surprised her was that every child was wearing a headgear of a cat, dog, rabbit, chicken or duck.
The leading child was still holding a dead puppy body in his hands.
Confusion flashed across Ivanka's face: "Local custom or a child's whimsical ritual?"
"You'll find out if you go and see," Robb said.
Generally speaking, if something strange happens in the local area, it will always be related to the local customs and strange rumors.
Since Robb, who is very experienced in this, has seen it, he will naturally not miss it.
He grabbed Ivanka and followed the group of children wearing animal masks into the forest.
The two did not hide their whereabouts.
The child in front noticed them, looked back, and then continued on his own without paying attention.
The journey was uneventful.
Soon, Robb and Ivanka followed a group of children to an open space in the forest.
A wooden sign that has been weathered for many years stands in front, with a line of words written on it.
"Pet...cemetery."
Ivanka read it out.
She looked deeper and saw small graves scattered across the open space.
Each of these graves is erected with a simple wooden sign with information about the deceased pet and a farewell message from its owner.
On the top of some wooden signs, there are still the animal masks that the children were wearing just now.
"Interesting pet funeral. People from animal protection organizations will be very happy to see this."
As Ivanka said this, she skillfully turned on the camera and took a picture of this place.
Robb paid no attention to the pet cemetery.
At this time, his eyes crossed the steep slope composed of soil trees and vines at the edge of the pet cemetery, and looked deeper.
There, he felt familiar.
It is slightly different from the otherworldly place in Jess's house in terms of perception.
"Is it another supernatural place?"
Robb's expression changed.
Any place where supernatural beings appear, whether there are murders, disappearances, or strange things happening nearby, it is always inseparable from it.
Jack has never been found, probably because of this.
Robb had already sentenced himself to death for this target, and now it was up to him to see if he could clean up the wreckage and prepare to go deeper.
At this time, instead of burying the dead puppy in the animal cemetery, the children and their group chose to climb up the steep slope and head deeper.
"Huh? Don't they bury animal carcasses here?" Ivanka asked doubtfully as she was preparing to film the whole process so that she could make a documentary when she returns.
Robb's eyes flashed: "Continue to follow, don't disturb them."
A minute later, when Robb dragged Ivanka, who was overburdened and had no sense of balance, up the steep slope, he could see children holding the puppy's body standing not far away, looking towards here.
It seems to be waiting for them.
After seeing themselves and Ivanka following, they turned around without saying a word and continued to move forward quietly.
Holding Robb's arm with one hand, Ivanka, who had just stood up, felt something was wrong.
Chapter 311 Chapter 311 Resurrection of the Dead
Adults naturally have a sense of looking down on children.
But at this moment, Ivanka saw a group of children wearing animal hoods looking at her, and then walked deeper into the forest without saying a word, without any lively and active nature along the way.
She couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Robb..."
Ivanka wanted to say something, but Robb stopped her.
He looked very calm and said: "Don't worry, just continue to follow them."
Seeing this, Ivanka couldn't help but be infected by Luo Bai's confident demeanor, and finally said nothing more.
that's all.
There were a bunch of kids in the front and two adults in the back.
Both hands made a tacit understanding not to break the calm, and moved towards the depths one after the other.
Through a forest and across an icy stream.
Robb looked ahead, and saw a small mountain peak lying in front of them.
An obviously man-made step leads from bottom to top, winding up the mountain.
The children, still holding the puppy's body, stepped up the steps and walked towards the mountain.
Robb and Ivanka followed closely behind.
Ten minutes later, a small mountaintop came into their sight.
Overall, it is no different from other mountains, except for one thing.
Robb saw many artificially piled mounds on the top of the mountain. On top of each mound, there were several stones from here.
The children who had arrived at the top of the mountain earlier had already found an open space and dug a hole. Then they placed the corpse of the puppy they had brought all the way inside, buried it, and then found a few stones to stand on it.
"They came all this way just to bury their pet's body here?" Ivanka asked puzzledly as she watched this scene.
A strange voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Because this is a place of miracles. People living here believe that as long as they bury people or animals they are unwilling to lose, their relatives or loved ones will be buried here." Pet will come back from hell, reunite with them, and continue to live happily."
Ivanka and Robb followed the sound, and a person who looked familiar appeared in front of them.
'Jack? ’
Robb thought about the target photo he had just seen before, which looked very similar to the pale man in front of him.
He looked at Ivanka, who was more familiar with the other party.
Sure enough, Ivanka immediately recognized this peer who she had interacted with several times in the past.
She looked surprised and said: "Jack??"
Jack smiled and said: "Long time no see, Ivanka. I didn't expect you to come here."
Why else would you come here?
Ivanka's face was full of surprise when she thought so.
She had already thought of many plans when she set out.
For example, after going through all kinds of hardships to rescue Jack from the enemy, or bringing back the enemy's body, there will be no gain if it fails.
But she never expected it.
Jack actually appeared in front of her so proactively, and within the confines of the town.
Ivanka couldn't help but ask: "Jack, where have you been during this time? The outside world has defined you as missing. Your father has been very worried about this time."
"I'm really sorry for making you worry." Jack said this, but his tone was very disapproving, "The scenery here is very good, I have always lived here."
Nice view?
Ivanka looked around, and there was nothing beautiful about it.
She shook her head and said, "The police and your father's people have come here to look for you several times. Didn't you notice?"
"Looking for me? Maybe. But I won't leave here." Jack looked at the children who were praying for the new grave and said with a faint smile.
Ivanka was very puzzled: "Why? Your father is waiting for you. My companion and I came here to take you away."
"I will never leave." Jack said this firmly.
He looked at Ivanka, suddenly showed a cold smile, and said: "Not only me, Ivanka, you and your companions should also stay here forever."
Ivanka felt something was wrong, took a step back and said calmly: "Jack, what do you mean?"
Jack spread his hands and said proudly: "Ivanka, believe me. When you truly feel the greatness of this miracle land, you will make the same choice as me. But before that, I need to Wanka, please cooperate well. Only through the cycle of life and death can you truly join us."
At this moment, Jack finally revealed his true face, with a ferocious smile on his pale face. He took out a hunting knife and looked at Ivanka eagerly.
"Jack, you..." Ivanka didn't understand why Jack did this. Judging from his words, deeds and character, he was very different from before.
But she quickly pulled out her gun.
Just the next second, when he saw the group of children from before gathered around him, took off their hoods, revealing a pale face that was exactly the same as Jack's, there was no trace of innocence at all, and they looked at him with cruelty.
Ivanka's heart suddenly sank.
Snapped!
A broad hand pressed her shoulder.
"Leave the rest to me." Robb's still calm voice sounded in her ears.
Ivanka immediately breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back, and handed the stage to Robb.
