Chapter 36: Chasing

At dusk, a black car was driving slowly on an interstate highway. Both sides of the highway were mostly plain jungles. Occasionally, one or two houses could be seen standing alone on the side of the road.

Levi held the steering wheel with one hand, feeling the refreshing evening breeze outside the window, and watching the sun's slowly setting afterglow, feeling calm and comfortable in his heart!

After leaving Bill's place yesterday, Levi sorted out his supplies and equipment and drove to South Dakota. Although he had driven all afternoon, he had only driven more than 300 kilometers. At this time, he had just explored Louisiana. That state.

"Roar! Roar!" At this moment, the ogre, still wearing a black combat uniform and a helmet, was lying on the back seat, making a loud and harsh snoring sound at an inappropriate time.

"Squeak!" Levi braked suddenly, and the huge inertia caused the ogre to hit the back of the seat in front of him heavily. He suddenly woke up slowly and looked around in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

After being promoted to level 2 life form and evolving into a bloodthirsty ogre, the ogre Hannibal's IQ has been significantly improved. Although he still cannot speak, his behavioral intelligence has at least reached the level of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

"Hannibal, you drive! Call me when you see a hotel!" Levi unbuckled his seat belt, drove the ogre to the front, lay down comfortably on the back seat, and carried his backpack from the side He took out a half-finger-thick book and flipped through it.

This book is a handwritten version of a book written by Richard's grandfather. Although it is not the original, both the written records and the hand-drawn illustrations are copied and reproduced in very detailed and realistic ways.

This book is actually more like a casual notebook. Nearly half of the content in it is about the Church of All Souls. The other half looks like a story written by a novelist, full of many absurd situations, and even There are many strange creatures!

However, as a note left by a third-level life form, Levi naturally could not treat it as a novel. Instead, he carefully wrote down the descriptions of some aberrations and strange objects.

"Aba Aba!" Nearly half an hour later, the sunset had completely set and the sky was starting to get dark. The ogre, who was concentrating on driving, suddenly turned around and called Levi.

Levi raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by the ogre, and found an additional exit on the roadside ahead. There was a signboard marking the hotel accommodation at the exit.

Following the direction pointed by the sign, the two quickly drove to a wooden store. They happened to see an old couple in their sixties or seventies walking out of the store and planned to lock the store door. .

"Marvin, a guest is here!" Marvin's wife saw Levi getting out of the car and gently pushed Marvin who was locking the door.

"Hello, what do you need?" Marvin turned around after hearing this, "Shopping or accommodation?"

"Buy something and stay overnight!" Levi chuckled.

"Okay!" Marvin opened the door and walked toward the store with Levi, "My daughter's family is coming over tonight, and we have to go home to prepare dinner. If you come one minute later, you might have to be in the car. What a great night!”

"It seems I'm very lucky! I can stay in this grassland hotel for one night!" Levi put the beer and snacks on the cashier.

What the Marvins opened was a meadow hotel, which was to build dozens of independent houses on a grassy plain, just like a community.

Most of these houses are converted from movable panels or containers and are widely spaced apart to ensure that they do not disturb each other. They are very suitable for families who pursue closeness to nature.

"Haha! That's right! My hotel is very famous!" Marvin seemed to be in a good mood and took out a key with a serial number from the drawer and handed it to Levi.

"House 37 can be easily found by following the roadside signs. There is also a newly built small playground next to the house, which has a swimming pool and fitness equipment. You can use it as you like!"

"Really! It seems I have to buy another pair of swimming trunks!" Levi took out his credit card from his wallet, paid the money and drove to House 37.

The place where this hotel was built seemed to have once been a golf course. The grass was trimmed very regularly, and there was an obvious slope on the ground. There were two rows of flowers growing on both sides of the road, and there was a big tree every few dozen meters. It was so attractive. Very comfortable.

Perhaps because it was not a weekend or a holiday, Levi found that almost no one was living in the houses along the way, so they seemed particularly quiet.

Soon, Levi saw a playground with flashing neon lights. This playground had an artificial beach, a small Ferris wheel, and a very large swimming pool. He also saw House 37 not far away.

"Plop!" After having dinner in the room and resting for a while, it was completely dark, so Levi put on his swimming trunks and plunged into the swimming pool.

This swimming pool is very large, covering an area of ​​nearly five to six hundred square meters. Only a small area in the north of the swimming pool is illuminated by light, and the rest of the pool is almost shrouded in darkness.

Levi dived like a mermaid through the waves, and swam to the opposite side of the pool in a dozen seconds. After wiping the water droplets off his face, he leaned comfortably by the pool and looked at the scenery in the sky.

"Huh?" The next moment, Levi turned his head and looked north, where there was a burst of panicked footsteps.

A moment later, a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old was seen under the street lights in the playground. He was running away and looking back, as if something was chasing him behind him!

It was just that the boy was injured on the right thigh, and the bright red blood kept flowing out, which made the boy's right leg completely powerless, and he could only limp forward to run away.

"Pah! Pah!" Then, a girl wearing a red windbreaker and short brown hair slowly walked out of the darkness.

But the scary thing was that the girl was holding a bloody sharp knife in her hand, and her face was wearing a pale, weird Barbie doll mask. She tilted her head and looked at the boy running in front of her, her eyes full of madness!

In the darkness, Levi watched the scene by the swimming pool with interest. He didn't expect to encounter murder here, and it was a weak-looking little girl chasing after a boy who was obviously much stronger!

The most important thing was that the boy who was running in front of him was holding a silver revolver in his hand, but even so, he still didn't have the courage to turn around and shoot!

"Huh?" Levi heard a miserable roar of a man in the distance at this time. Obviously, the murderer was not just the little girl in front of him.

"Plop!" The boy who escaped fell down beside the swimming pool. He looked at the girl who was approaching him step by step. He showed fear on his face. He backed away with his left hand. His trembling right hand pointed the gun at the girl, "Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"

"Are you going to shoot me?" The girl walked to the boy and stopped. She tilted her head and looked at the gun in the boy's hand. She made a sweet and innocent voice behind the mask. The girl didn't sound very old, only about 16 or 17 years old!

Although he had a gun in his hand, the boy was so scared that his hand holding the gun was shaking like a sieve. He didn't have the courage to pull the trigger at all, even though his mother had just died at the hands of these perverted killers!
