Chapter 71 "Bloody Mary", "Dixie County Snowman", "Happy Town Giant Spider", "The Missing Case in the Hills"
Luke had a few more quiet and peaceful days.
His daily life was extremely regular. He practiced with guns, swords, and familiarized himself with the [Spirit Fang]. He then searched for various weapons in the armory according to the list left by security captain Gerard, and then learned them bit by bit according to the instructions.
Of course, he also had to face the occasional phone bombardment from Calvin. Ever since he learned about the other world, he had been in a state of excitement, like an orangutan in heat, harassing Luke with messages every day.
However, in response to the other party's inquiries, Luke mostly dismissed him with the excuse that "You haven't become an extraordinary apprentice yet, so you are not suitable to know this information."
After a few days, Luke's pistol accuracy has improved to a certain extent, but he still needs to hold his breath and aim, and his accuracy is terrible if he shoots rapidly.
In addition, he has also initially mastered the use of the FGM-148 Javelin individual rocket launcher and a military compass. However, the explosion scene of the rocket launcher is too large and it is not suitable for practicing in the city, so he has not yet mastered it.
However, this thing is very convenient and practical. It has a one-button launch system and fool-proof operation. It is also equipped with a single-soldier thermal imager, which can search and identify targets even at night or in low visibility conditions, and send target data to the missile's own thermal guidance head.
So, Luke doesn't even need to aim, just press the fire button, it has a built-in locking function.
That morning, after disassembling the AR-47 for maintenance and reassembling it, Luke's phone beside him rang on time.
"Hey, brother, there's a piece of news that will interest you!" On the other end of the line was Calvin's voice, like that of an estrus gorilla.
"You talk, and I'm listening." Luke replied helplessly.
Calvin seemed not to notice Luke's impatience and continued excitedly, "I found something unusual on the Internet, brother. I sent it to your email, so please check it out. I'll call you again in half an hour."
Oh?
After listening to Calvin's words, Luke felt a little interested.
Calvin's father, Raft Hunter, works for a company that provides deep Internet information services. Calvin has gained some unique knowledge in information collection through his exposure to the Internet and the convenient tools available.
At least if Luke wants to see something good, he just needs to send the basic information and requirements to his good brother. Within half a day, the good brother will appear as a hero and reply to Luke with a string of mysterious codes.
This kind of response has never failed in the past ten years!
Perhaps after confirming the existence of the extraordinary world, Calvin really found something useful on the Internet.
Luke turned on his computer, found the email from Calvin, and downloaded a huge compressed file to his local computer.
The decompression speed is very fast, and a folder appears on the desktop, with four subfolders labeled with different contents.
Luke took a quick glance and saw that the names of the folders were "Bloody Mary", "Dixie County Snowman", "Happy Town Giant Spider", "Hill Disappearance Case" and "Crystal Lake Death Camp".
This name doesn't sound like a good thing.
Among them, "Bloody Mary" is the only thing Luke has ever heard of in his life. This thing is widely circulated among the American folk. It is nothing more than going into the bathroom alone, locking the bathroom door and turning off the lights, facing the mirror, lighting a candle in front of the mirror, and then concentrating and calling Bloody Mary three times.
Of course, this ceremony will have some regional adaptations in different regions.
For example, in the rumor about North Lowood Middle School, it is necessary to add a step of writing the name "Bloody Mary" on the mirror with lipstick, and it is said that the more expensive the lipstick, the higher the possibility of summoning.
Luke opened the "Bloody Mary" folder first, which contained a document, some photos and videos.
What caught my eye in the document were a dozen names, followed by the corresponding addresses and time - the time of death. This was Calvin's statistics, and the people who were rumored to have died from "Bloody Mary" were relatively real, at least they didn't look fake at first glance.
This kind of widely circulated and long-standing strange story is like the Tooth Fairy. Even if they are different individuals, they are generally at the third level or higher.
Moreover, the abilities of "Bloody Mary" in the rumors are very strange, and it is obviously not a physical monster. Even if Calvin's statistics are true, it is better not to provoke it for the time being.
When it is promoted to the fourth or fifth level in the future, I will summon it out, beat it severely, and drag it home to make it into a fluffy ball!
After a brief browse, Luke chose to close the folder.
The second place Luke chose to open was "Crystal Lake Death Camp". He had never heard of this thing in this life, but he seemed to have some impression of it in his previous life.
Although he is not a horror movie fan, his long-term and high-frequency chat in the group has made his knowledge, although not in-depth, very broad. After all, you never know that a friend in a porn group may be a doctor of a certain academy of science.
The three words "Crystal Lake" triggered Luke's memories of his past life. A friend in the group once told him the name of the immortal "Crystal Lake Handsome Man".
Although I don’t know whether this “Crystal Lake” is the same “Crystal Lake”, I’d better try to avoid this kind of trouble.
At least before it develops.
Luke then opened several other folders. Without exception, they all contained clues about some urban legends and monsters. In addition to the text introduction, they also came with many on-site photos, many of which were R-18 types - of course, because they were bloody.
Not long after I finished watching it, Calvin called again.
"Hey, no meat, how about it, have you finished reading it?"
"I've read it. Is this the information you collected recently? It looks quite real." Luke asked.
"Yes! How about it, brother? I'm recovered now. Do you want to have a thrilling adventure together?" It sounded like Calvin was already impatient, and he felt that if Luke didn't join him, he would go it alone.
It just so happened that the raid on the cult's lair a few days ago was unsuccessful, and Luke hadn't fought for several days. His hands were a little itchy, and his "spiritual essence" was a little empty.
He did not answer directly, but asked: "Who do you want to find?"
Calvin had obviously been planning for a long time. He counted them one by one and ruled out some first: "The snowman in Dixie County only appears in winter. There is no chance now. According to the clues, the giant spiders in Happiness Town appear in groups. We are traveling in pairs, which is a bit difficult to deal with. The environment of the missing persons case in the mountains is too complicated. I think it is a bit dangerous."
"The remaining Bloody Mary can be summoned at home, and it is so widely circulated. I think it is very interesting and seems to be real."
"As for the Crystal Lake Death Camp, the people who died there were all students camping there, and judging from the death photos, they were all killed by cold weapons. I don't think it should be too dangerous."
Okay, okay, very good.
Calvin successfully selected the two places that Luke identified as the most dangerous.
You have a future, young man.
