Washington State is located in the northwest of the United States, with mountains and evergreen trees, and the natural scenery is quite unique. Huanghun Town is located on the edge of the state border, adjacent to Canada, and is remote and not easy to find the way.

Halfway, Jian Jing asked several people before finding the road to Huanghun Town.

At noon, the car drove into the town.

After a simple drive, Jian Jing found that Huanghun Town was indeed not big, with only two main roads, a gas station, three cafes, and two bars.

In a word, it is a rural place.

Jiang Baiyan wondered, "What are you doing in a place like this?"

"Do you remember the first haunted house we played in? I suspect that Qi Tian has appeared here." Jian Jing told her about her findings one by one, and said, "This person is very evil. If you are afraid, don't force yourself."

"I don't feel anything." Jiang Baiyan rubbed his face and said honestly, "Compared to that, I am more afraid of you acting alone. In this border town, people will bully you because you are a girl."

Jian Jing sighed.

She knew that Jiang Baiyan was telling the truth.

In terms of physical fitness, she is definitely better than Jiang Baiyan, who has been slimming down for years, but the reality is that when she walks alone on the street, she will definitely encounter whistling hooligans. But when she has a male companion, no matter how old he is, his intimidation is much stronger than her.

Unless she was carrying an AK, that was another matter.

"Okay." Jian Jing didn't worry too much about Jiang Baiyan. He was smarter than her.

The two pretended to be tourists and settled down in the best hotel in the town. Then they asked the boss, "I heard that you can hunt here?"

There are mountains and forests near Huanghun Town, and there are many animals. When Jian Jing was looking up information on the Internet, she found an advertisement for a hunting guide service, so she asked this question.

When the boss heard it, it was rare for this remote town to have tourists. Without saying a word, he called his old friend and asked him to come and pick up the guests.

"Old William is an old hunter here. He has lived here for generations and is very familiar with the place." The boss introduced him attentively, "Follow him, you will definitely be able to hunt satisfactory prey."

Old William came quickly. He was tall and strong, with strong muscles and rough tattoos on his arms. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes swept over the crowd. With the intuition of a hunter, he jumped over Jiang Baiyan and his eyes fell on Jian Jing: "You want to hunt?"

Jian Jing nodded.

He looked Jian Jing up and down for a while and nodded: "Okay."

Jian Jing hinted: "I don't have a license."

The boss interrupted at the right time: "Five hundred dollars, leave it to me."

Jian Jing nodded and asked: "Where is the hunting license?"

"I can solve this for you." Old William provided good service, "But there is one thing I want to make clear."

Jian Jing made a gesture of listening attentively.

"We go in the morning and come back in the afternoon. We don't stay overnight in the woods." Perhaps afraid that they would get suspicious, Old William took the initiative to explain, "You have no experience in surviving in the wild. It's too dangerous."

Jian Jing hesitated: "Then we can only wander around outside? This is not what I want. Besides, I have experience in outdoor camping, so it shouldn't be a big deal."

Old William said: "We have large animals here, such as wolves and bears."

"Don't we have guns?" She asked back, but her attitude was not firm. It seemed that she just said it casually and quickly forgot about it. She said happily, "Forget it, let's play for two days first. See you tomorrow morning?"

Old William said: "You need to pay a deposit of 3,000 first."

Jian Jing paid the money without hesitation.

Who doesn't like generous guests? The boss was attentive and thoughtful, and recommended two places to eat.

Jian Jing had been in the United States for less than a week, and she was already disappointed with the food here, but she had to eat, so she had to hope that the place recommended by the boss was okay.

Dinner was coffee, pizza and cherry pie.

To be fair, it tasted really good. She patiently asked the waiter about the town.

But the younger generation had hardly heard of the problems in the forest. When asked if it was good for hunting, they just said that someone hunted every year, so it should be good.

No one mentioned the case in 1992.

She didn't stay for long, and packed a hot chocolate and pizza and took it back to Jiang Baiyan for dinner.

"I went to the department store to ask." Jiang Baiyan didn't have dinner with Jian Jing, and naturally he had a mission to do. He went to the largest and only department store in the town to buy some spare clothes and snacks suitable for the outdoors.

Of course, it would be even better if you could "by the way" get some information.

Jiang Baiyan held the hot chocolate, drank it slowly, and enjoyed the joy of calories: "No one has heard that there is a problem in the forest. I asked them if it is safe to hunt now, and they said it is okay to bring a gun - they sell guns in their supermarket, it's really easy."

"That's right, it's too insecure." Jian Jing couldn't help but complain .

In China, after her physical condition improved, she didn't care about walking alone in the alleys late at night. But when she went abroad, she had to be more vigilant when walking on the street.

It's a hot water, and it's true.

But everything has two sides. At least here, Jian Jing can get some self-defense guys, which makes her more confident to enter the forest.

She analyzed: "In such a closed town, everything will be spread widely. If there are no rumors, it proves that no one has died in the past two years. But this year is exactly the tenth year."

There is an unexplainable coincidence in the time of the cases recorded by Reed.

1982, 1992, 2002, and 2012, exactly ten years apart.

Although there was only one strange case in 1992, if that person is really Qi Tian, ​​there must be something hidden that she doesn't know.

There were no more deaths after the fire. It is possible that the matter has ended, or more likely... waiting for the next decade.

And this year is 2022.

"Let's ask William tomorrow." She said, "He insisted on coming out before dark, so he must know something."

Places like Huanghun Town are both remote and close to the border, and the management is not strict.

The innkeeper helped her get a gun license, and old William got a hunting license. Of course, according to the regulations, her hunting license can only be used to hunt small animals, such as pheasants, hares, and wild deer.

These small animals reproduce very quickly and will interfere with the normal lives of residents, so hunting is allowed to control their reproduction rate.

Jian Jing pretended to be curious: "Since small animals reproduce so quickly, there shouldn't be large beasts, right?"

Old William said in a gruff voice: "There were many in the past." He was impatient with her asking questions and said loudly, "Okay, you have no hunting experience, I will teach you from the beginning, listen carefully, I will only say it once."

He was experienced, and although the content of his teaching was not as professional as the formal courses, it was very practical.

How to distinguish the footprints and identification of prey, how to judge the wind direction and distance, what is the best way to protect your own safety... There are so many things, and it is very beneficial.

For a moment, Jian Jing even forgot the purpose of coming and concentrated on listening to the class.

At noon, the three people stopped teaching and made a fire to cook.

Old William used the pheasant he had just shot to show them how to roast a chicken on the spot.

Jian Jing pondered, after hanging out for quite some time, the two sides became familiar with each other, so she tentatively asked: "We have learned a lot from you. Can we really not camp here?"

Old William said without raising his head: "It's too dangerous."

"Where is the danger? You said that large wild animals only existed in the past, and they are rare now." Jian Jing would not give in easily, and retorted slowly, "Besides, we have guns."

Old William sneered: "If you want to stay here, you can stay by yourself. I will leave when it gets dark anyway."

He was not worried that Jian Jing would make trouble. In the wilderness and forest, how could she dare to stay alone without him leading the way? However, Jian Jing suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?"

Old William: "Provocation doesn't work on me."

"No, no, you misunderstood, I'm just curious." She said, "I know people have died here, are you afraid that their ghosts will haunt us?"

Old William paused in his action of removing the chicken bones and asked back, "What dead people? Killed by wild animals?"

"Roger, Theresa, Ben, Laura, George." Jian Jing reported their names.

Old William's expression changed, his facial muscles trembled, and his thick eyebrows twisted, as if he was ready to suddenly jump up and crush her throat at any time: "Who told you? What is your purpose?"

"Reed." She said half-truthfully, "He mistook me for Kelly and told me a lot of things."

Old William was stunned. Kelly's name seemed to trigger memories, and his expression became strange: "Reed? I haven't heard of this name for a long time."

"Do you know Reed?"

Old William looked at her and turned his head away: "You are not like Kelly, he is really old and confused."

Jian Jing was stunned.

Jiang Baiyan poked her arm and whispered: "William's nickname seems to be Bill."

William? Bill? What is the relationship between these two names? Jian Jing asked inwardly: "Are you Kelly's boyfriend Bill?"

Old William exerted his strength, and the wooden stick passed through the plucked pheasant, clamped it on the wooden fork, stuffed it with a small mushroom picked on the road, and sewed it with thread.

The flames rose, roasting the freshly cooked lunch, and the wonderful aroma spread.

He lowered his head and said calmly, "That happened a long time ago."

"Do you believe that Kelly got lost and was trapped to death?" Jian Jing asked.

"What's the difference between believing and not believing?"

"I don't think you believe it." She said, "Kelly doesn't like the woods. Why would she go into the woods alone? You want us to leave before dark. Is it related to the rumor that 'you can't enter the woods after dusk'?"

Old William turned the stick to heat the chickens evenly: "Don't mind your own business. You are just here to hunt."

Jian Jing saw his defensiveness, thought for a while, and didn't ask any more questions.

In the afternoon, William obviously spoke less, and all the topics revolved around hunting itself. Jian Jing also temporarily put aside her thoughts and immersed herself in the fun of hunting.

But maybe God is helping her.

William's plan was to leave at five o'clock, but at four o'clock, the sky was overcast and terribly dark.

A storm was coming.

"Damn it, let's get out of here." Old William made a quick decision and returned immediately.

But it was still too late.

Soon, it rained heavily and the three of them were soaked.

Jian Jing asked, "I remember there is a farm nearby. Can we go there to take shelter from the rain?"

William shouted, "Frank's farm? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." She said, "It's better than staying in the woods."

William was convinced and led them to the farm covered by dark clouds. At first, the light was dim and Jian Jing didn't notice anything, but the closer she got, the more familiar she felt.

The row of houses, the tractor parked at the door, the smell of animal feces, grass and rain intertwined and blended into a strange stench.

Jiang Baiyan said what was in her heart: "This farm looks like a haunted house."

Jian Jing nodded gently: "This is a real farm."

Robert's inspiration came from Reed, and Reed had conducted a very detailed investigation of this farm.

The moment I stepped into the door, the system went online.
