Sue shrugged: "Serena's friend and boyfriend went missing while rock climbing around here last week. We happened to be passing by and decided to look around and see if we could find any clues."
"Feel sorry."
Jesse first apologized, then said with a smile, "You're really good to your girlfriend. I originally thought that a billionaire like you would be self-centered and difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect you to be willing to accompany your girlfriend to a place like this."
“Serena is not my girlfriend,” Su explained with a smile.
Jesse paused for a moment, then gave me a knowing look.
Rich people are bound to have many beautiful women chasing after them. Under normal circumstances, rich people will not easily admit that anyone is their girlfriend; they will only say that they are just good friends!
Jesse had clearly misunderstood, and Sue thought for a moment but did not explain.
Firstly, there's nothing to explain, and secondly, there's no need to explain.
Speaking of which, after getting to know Jesse up close, Sue developed a sense of familiarity with her.
The sense of familiarity wasn't strong, and it didn't come from the movie 'Wrong Turn,' but rather from other films or TV series she had starred in. It's just that the impression she left wasn't that deep, and the memory wasn't that strong.
Su chatted with Jesse casually for a while, and then his eyebrows twitched slightly.
"I got it!"
He realized where this sense of familiarity with Jesse came from; Jesse had acted in an American TV series called "Dollsman".
Although I haven't watched the show, I've seen its posters many times when I used to watch other American TV series. The person on the poster is the main character, 'Jesse'.
Of course, she wasn't called Jesse in that show.
Jesse noticed the change in Sue's expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Su pointed to the woods by the roadside: "There's a fire!"
"fire?"
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked over and indeed saw a burning campfire in the woods, surrounded by broken tires and branches.
"anyone there?"
"hello."
"anyone there?"
The group shouted loudly, but there was no response from the woods, and no one appeared.
"Should we go take a look?" Scott asked hesitantly.
Jesse frowned slightly and said, just to be on the safe side, "If there are fireworks, it means there must be someone here. We've been calling for a long time but no one has responded. Maybe they're not here. Let's keep going."
Everyone continued to move forward.
Sue turned on the live stream again. He remembered that in the movie, not long after Jesse and his group saw the campfire, France and Ivan, who stayed behind, got into trouble.
First, Ivan was killed. When France discovered that Ivan was missing, he began to search for him. Then he found Ivan's shoes and his ear in the forest by the roadside. After that, France was killed by the ogre who pierced his mouth with barbed wire from behind.
After Serena's live stream started shaking violently, it switched to a God's-eye view, and Su Shi then discovered that Serena was running rapidly through the forest.
Ahead of her, an ugly ogre carrying a bow and arrows was fleeing quickly, occasionally turning back to shoot an arrow at Serena.
Serena is facing off against an ogre?
Seeing her relentlessly pursue the cannibal like a dog, it must be said that her performance was quite unexpected for Su.
Was this the first time she had truly encountered a supernatural being?
He doesn't know any offensive ninjutsu, nor has he learned any taijutsu, yet he dared to recklessly and bravely chase after the cannibal.
Chapter 243 Should I play along or turn a blind eye?
With unwavering courage and the amplification of her body by chakra, Serena relentlessly pursued her opponent, gradually closing in despite the ogre's arrows and the harsh, unfamiliar environment.
Her expensive clothes were torn by tree branches while running, and she had several minor cuts and bruises on her body, but Serena ignored them all. She now had only one belief.
Hunt it down and take care of it!
"call out--"
The sound of arrows piercing the air rang out again. Serena, who was running, had no time to dodge and fell to the ground with a scream.
Upon seeing Serena struck by an arrow, the ogre, who had been fleeing, stopped. A strange smile appeared on his狰狞恐怖 (zhengning kongbu - ferocious and terrifying) face as he triumphantly drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and walked back to Serena's side.
One step, one step, one step...
Serena lay motionless on the ground, intently listening to the ogre's approaching footsteps. Just as the ogre reached her side and drew his bow to finish her off, she suddenly sprang to her feet.
With his arms supporting him on the ground and his waist twisting and straightening, he flipped himself over and landed behind the ogre in a very visually appealing motion.
"Snapped!"
The sealing talisman was heavily affixed to the ogre's back.
In an instant, black sealing runes surged onto the ogre's entire body. The ogre's eyes widened, and the bow and arrow in its hand involuntarily fell to the ground. A few seconds later, it was completely sealed by the sealing runes.
Serena sat on the ground and let out a long breath: "Phew... I did it, I did it, I successfully sealed the ogre, hehehe, I told you I was amazing."
"I wonder what the reward for excellence will be? I'd better deal with this guy first. He said there are three ogres. I need to go back and check on France and Ivan."
Serena struggled to her feet and hoisted the ogre onto her shoulder. Using a tree trunk as a foothold, she temporarily secured the ogre to a branch before leaping down to search for France and Ivan.
Serena's performance certainly deserves excellent praise. It's already not easy for a pretty young girl to have the courage to face an ugly and terrifying ogre, let alone chase after her while being threatened by the ogre's arrows.
Of course, the amplification of the body by chakra was indeed the main reason, but Serena's calm and composed performance was the key to sealing the ogre.
She's not only reckless, but also clever.
After realizing he couldn't catch the ogre, he decisively pretended to be shot by an arrow to lure the ogre closer. He then used his hearing to judge the ogre's distance and movements, and successfully sealed it away in one fell swoop.
The timing was excellent!
The only imperfection was that when Serena returned to the car, she found that France and Ivan were gone, and there was blood nearby.
When Serena spotted the ogre, she gave chase, but the ogre with the bow and arrow kept luring her further and further away. Although she eventually managed to seal the bow-wielding ogre, France and Ivan were killed and taken away by another ogre.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the content of the assessment.
Serena is younger than them, and everyone is responsible for their own life. Serena has no obligation to protect their lives.
There's a house up ahead!
Scott's excited voice made Su temporarily shift his attention away from Serena. He looked up and followed the sound, and sure enough, there was an open space not far ahead.
There were many old and abandoned cars parked around the open space, and a small wooden house that looked dilapidated and abandoned, seemingly uninhabited.
The group arrived at the wooden house and called out to it.
Hello? Is anyone home?
"anyone there?"
There was no response from inside the cabin. Scott said with difficulty, "What do we do now?"
“Guys, our cars are all wrecked, and we have no cell phone signal. We really need to make a call. So…” Chris finished speaking and pushed open the door of the cabin and went inside.
A terrible stench permeated the dilapidated wooden house, and the group covered their noses as they looked around.
There were seemingly moldy tablewares on the dining table, a large pile of car keys in a straw basket not far away, and a pot of soup of unknown origin in the kitchen. The group searched the room separately, and the strangeness of the place made them unconsciously become cautious and move very lightly.
"Click—click—click—" Su took pictures of the surroundings with her phone.
Serena has already sealed away an ogre, and now that she has the collectibles, she naturally needs some accompanying information.
As Su was taking pictures, screams of surprise came from the others one after another.
Scott's girlfriend found a bottle of teeth soaking in a jar in the bathroom. Scott and Chris found bottles and jars in the refrigerator that looked like intestines and other things. Then Scott's girlfriend found a hand that had been soaking in red water in the bathtub. Finally, Jesse found the wire mesh that had punctured their tires.
Su photographed all of this.
While everyone was panicking and frightened, Su Shi acted as if nothing was wrong, taking pictures of her surroundings with great interest. This unusual behavior surprised everyone, but they couldn't care less at the moment.
"Hey everyone, I think we should go back and find your friends." Although it was Chris who suggested coming in to find the phone, the current situation made him feel that it would be safer for everyone to stay together.
Unfortunately, he spoke a little too late.
As soon as Chris finished speaking, the rumbling of a car came from outside. The group rushed to the door and looked out through the gaps in the wooden wall. They saw two extremely ugly and terrifying men getting out of a broken truck, each dragging someone else. They were none other than France and Ivan.
"Hurry, hurry, run!"
Chris frantically warned everyone to leave through the back door, but it was locked and couldn't be opened. With the monster about to enter the house, the group could only frantically scatter and try to find cover.
Su put away her phone and looked at the door, relaxed and smiling, ready to end this 'terrifying' hunt. After all, she had already obtained the collection and achieved her goal of testing Serena. There was no need to follow the plot step by step and coast to the end.
Anyway, these cannibals are still within the 'normal' range, so killing them doesn't require any earth-shattering or unacceptable ninjutsu.
"Are you crazy? Hide!" A deep, questioning voice suddenly rang out. Jesse abruptly grabbed Su's hand and forcefully pulled him back inside, then Su lay down on the ground and hid under the table.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and hide!" Jesse anxiously reminded Su Shi after hiding.
Su Shi: "..."
If I tell her now that she doesn't need to hide and that I can easily counterattack, would that be a bad idea? Everyone is tense and terrified. Should I play along or pretend not to see anything?
……
P.S.: I think I really have caught a cold. The weather in Northeast China is terrible, and the heating isn't working properly. It's really frustrating.
Chapter 244 The Stunned Main Characters
Su looked at Jesse hiding under the 'slaughtering platform' and shook his head. Although he could get close to Jesse by hiding there, he disdained to take such a small advantage, especially hiding under the filthy slaughtering platform.
If Serena, who is on her way here, saw this, wouldn't she laugh herself to death?
"Bang."
The sound of a door opening came from the front; the monster had entered.
Everyone else had already hidden themselves and were carefully holding their breath, but Su Shi was still standing there nonchalantly.
Jesse, seeing that Su refused to dodge, was probably already cursing under his breath.
According to normal plot and normal thinking, Su's behavior is like a brainless extra in a movie, unconventional, and reckless, so he will definitely be the first to get killed, which will then lead to the subsequent 'horrifying' plot.
