Sheriff Hope said to take a detour.
In fact, it is just a small road leading to the town.
This path has become a bit rough due to disrepair. It was a lane long ago when there was no road.
If it is an ordinary car, you need to drive slowly and carefully. If you are not careful, you may scratch the chassis or frame.
But for Muguang's off-road vehicle, this is all trivial.
All-terrain off-road vehicles do not deserve their reputation. As long as it is not a 90-degree right angle, I am confident that I can drive the car up any slope.
Sheriff Hope's police car in front was not slow at all and was even faster than on the highway. For such a remote wilderness town, the best equipment is an old pickup truck made of Pidgeon.
The chassis is high and the horsepower is high. It is a must-have for home use, but it consumes a lot of fuel.
...
The two cars, one behind the other, quickly circled around the town and finally entered the town.
If someone who doesn't know comes here, they won't know that this is a bustling town in the past.
Looking out of the car window, there were no people on the street. The deserted look really made Mu Guang feel a little sad.
Parking the car at the entrance of the police station, Mu Guang got out of the car and looked around.
Many of the cars still standing had eerie, deep scratches.
Along with the shops next to it, there are also some traces of friction on the ground.
If you look closely, you can find that the tires or windshields of some cars have been scratched by something.
Walking to a car parked in a nearby store, Fat Cat Ban easily jumped on the front hood of the car and took a closer look with Mu Guang.
The middle of the car's windshield was neatly broken.
The top and bottom of the glass were still intact. Only the glass in the middle of the two cracks fell into the car, broke into two pieces and fell on the car seat.
The two load-bearing pillars in front of the windshield have also been disconnected, as if they were pulled by a cutting machine.
This is different from the slight scratch on the Muguang car yesterday. If you want to cut the glass from the middle without breaking the glass, most people will definitely not be able to do it without the help of tools.
Looking along the scratches on the car towards the road, there are also traces of some creature walking on the ground.
Only then did Mu Guang understand why people in the town said there was a monster.
...
Looking at Sheriff Hope who was waiting quietly on the side, Mu Guang asked with some confusion: "Didn't you think of asking the higher-ups for help?"
"We tried, but there was no response."
Sheriff Hope lit a cigarette, shook his head and said:
"At the beginning, some people claiming to be from the Department of Energy came. But they were not here to solve the problem. On the contrary..."
Speaking of this, Hoppe paused and seemed a little hesitant. Mu Guang did not urge but waited patiently.
After a few seconds, Hope shook his head, sighed and continued:
"On the contrary, I think they are here to look for something. Remember the child with super powers I just told you about? I think they are looking for her!"
...
One more clue
Mu Guang and the fat cat standing at his feet looked at each other. The fat cat Ban didn't say anything but just shook his little head, indicating that he didn't notice anything.
Not long after, some ninjas from the Black Shadow Corps who had been late to explore the dead forest came to report.
They said they sensed the aura of another dimension in the woods, which was very similar to the dark world.
But they haven't found a place to enter yet!
...
While following Hope back to the police station, Mu Guang mentally rethought the existing clues.
A lifeless forest covered in slime.
Feel the breath of another dimensional space inside.
There are mysteriously missing residents and children with super powers!
..
"Another dimension," the young man whispered softly. If this is the case, then some things can be explained.
Why can't there be any traces and why are people missing? Why couldn't Henry's body or his family be found?
...
Follow Hope into the police station
Mu Guang glanced at the empty hall and found that even the police station was nowhere to be seen.
"I have sent most of the police officers back, and some are maintaining order in areas where no traces have been found on the other side of the town."
Hope may have noticed Mu Guang's confusion and explained.
The two walked to the director's office on the second floor, and Hope obviously relaxed a lot.
Throwing the coat casually on the hanger, he rummaged through the drawer of his desk and found a stack of disposable water cups. He took one out and took a cup of water from the dusty water dispenser next to him and handed it to Mu Guang.
Indicated that he was welcome to sit down wherever he wanted.
After looking at the small office, Mu Guang took the paper cup casually. The corners of Mu Guang's eyebrows twitched. He turned around without revealing any trace and put the cup on the table aside and said:
"Can you tell me about that child?"
He has now turned his breakthrough point to the child with super powers. He has a hunch that he might be able to find some breakthrough point from her.
Sheriff Hope didn't pay attention to Mu Guang's slightly disgusted action. He sat down in his seat carelessly, picked up the pen on the table, rotated it, thought for a while, and then said:
"I found that girl at a children's house in a small town. Oh! Those children were also good friends of the missing little boy Will. Will disappeared on his way home after playing games with them that day."
At this point, the pen in Hope's hand suddenly stopped. After reorganizing his thoughts, he continued: "That little girl has no name. She said her name is 11. It's weird to name her with numbers!"
Mu Guang wasn't interested in Hope's cold joke, so he just found a chair and sat down. The fat cat Spot jumped on him with a light jump, waving his little paws to signal Hope to continue quickly.
Hope glanced at this overly smart kitten in surprise, shrugged and said:
"She said someone was chasing her. I think it was the shit from the Department of Energy. I had a fight with them before. Although there was no sign, I was sure it was their people.
"After rescuing the girl, I temporarily hid her in a small wooden house on the edge of the town."
"During this period, I have been investigating an experimental base set up by the Department of Energy not far from the town. Unfortunately, they are very tightly guarded, and the only time I went in, I found nothing."
After listening to this ramble, Mu Guang had already understood the general information and had no interest in continuing to listen.
Standing up from the chair, patting the non-existent dust on his body, Mu Guang said directly: "How about we go to the cabin you mentioned now and take a look?"
Hope was talking in excitement, and was slightly dazed when Mu Guang interrupted him, but he did not refuse.
After Tantanshou expressed his regret, he picked up the coat that had just been hung up on the hanger nearby.
Mu Guang walked out first. He didn't want to know everything. It was enough to know where the source of the matter might be.
...
