Chapter 376: The Woods

To enter New Jersey, if you want to go to Hackensack City, you must first enter Bergen County, and Hackensack City is the county seat of Bergen County, with a population of about 40,000 or 50,000. And Hackensack City is located twelve miles northwest of Midtown Harmanton, which is considered a suburb of New York City. Even from the town, it takes less than an hour to reach the city of Hackensack.

And Hackensack City is really not very big, and the place where Zhen Fan settled is a hotel in a relatively remote town, which is not very big, but it looks very comfortable. Zhen Fan ordered two rooms, next to each other. There are not many people who book a room here, so Zhen Fan still has a choice.

It's just that the woman who gave them the key always looked at Zhen Fan and Helena with strange eyes. The two of them walked into their rooms separately, Zhen Fan put the suitcase aside, and then stood at the window, looking outside, not far away was a forest, according to the layout of feng shui, it was not very good, and it was a place to gather. It's just that the trees outside are green and beautiful, and it looks kind and pleasing to the eye.

Zhen Fan plans to stay here for one night and go to that Lance Mitchell tomorrow. He's in this place, and I'm sure anyone who asks around him will know his address.

After taking a shower, Zhen Fan changed his clothes and went out, walked to Helena's door, and knocked on the door. There was no movement inside, no one opened the door. Knock again, but no one will open the door. Zhen Fan waited. I guess Helena is taking a bath in it. After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhen Fan knocked on the door again, and at this time the door opened!

Helena, with her wet hair and bathrobe, opened the door. She's even wiping her hair with a towel. This is too much to treat Zhen Fan as an outsider.

"I just took a bath in it and dozed off for a while!" Helena smiled apologetically, "Please take a seat!" She let Zhen Fan in. Go to the bathroom yourself and blow your hair out.

Zhen Fan turned on the TV and watched it for a while, Helena walked out, her hair tied up, and smiled at Zhen Fan: "You wait, I'll change my clothes!" ”

Women's affairs are very troublesome, and Zhen Fan can be regarded as having experienced it, before he came out. There are women in the family at any time, so Zhen Fan can wait. After a long while, Helena finally came out. Her hair changed again, and it became the long hair of a shawl, and originally her hair was only shoulder-length, and it looked good in the drape. She was wearing a skirt that just covered her knees. It's a bit like a cheongsam, sleeveless, which sets off her slender figure.

"How? It's beautiful, isn't it? She posed in front of Zhen Fan very confidently, and smiled at Zhen Fan, since leaving that town, Helena's personality has gradually become a little different, like a person who has let go of all the knots in her heart, and is becoming more and more cheerful.

"Not bad. By the way, let's go around tonight! Zhen Fan said.

"Sounds good!" Helena smiled. "But first, we have dinner!" As he spoke, he stepped out of the door first, and when Zhen Fan came out, he naturally walked side by side with Zhen Fan and walked out of the hotel.

When they reached the main entrance of the hotel, the waiter who had given them the key looked at them with strange eyes. Helena smiled at Zhen Fan and said, "She must think why we want to open two rooms!" ”

"yes, why are we going to open two rooms?" Zhen Fan asked Helena seriously.

Helena was stunned for a moment, she didn't know how to answer, obviously she thought that Zhen Fan could understand that the relationship between the two was not a couple or something, but Zhen Fan's question was unexpected. Then she saw Zhen Fan's sly smile, and knowing that he was joking, she couldn't help but pat her chest, laughed too, and patted Zhen Fan's shoulder.

"You just embarrassed me!" Helena laughed, and the relationship between the two became more natural because of this joke, and as she spoke, she walked and found a restaurant by the side of a small street.

The taste of the restaurant is not bad, Zhen Fan is not picky, but Helena thinks that the beef here is not very good, frowns, and complains a few words. Finally, the waiter came over, and after Zhen Fan took out the cash to settle the bill, he also took out a ten-dollar bill, held it in front of the waiter and said with a smile: "Inquire about someone!" ”

"Who, as long as I know, I will sue you!" The waiter was a little excited, it was obvious that ten dollars was a relatively generous gift, so he wanted to take the banknote, but Zhen Fan shook it lightly and dodged it.

"Say, sir, I'm sure I'm not going to lie!" The waiter was in a hurry.

"Lance Mitchell, if you know where he lives, it's yours!" Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders, then smiled, "It's beckoning to you!" ”

"Lance Mitchell?" The waiter was stunned, with a thoughtful look on his face, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You tested me, I haven't heard of this name, but there is a guy named Kathy Mitchell who lives nearby!" ”

"Man, you're wrong, it's a pity!" Zhen Fan put away the ten dollars, then took out two dollars and handed them to the waiter, "You should really make more friends, man, goodbye!" As he spoke, he shook his head at Helena, and Helena's eyes narrowed with a smile except for the restaurant.

"You're such a bad guy!" Helena finally couldn't help but laugh, "Are you here to find this guy?" Reims? ”

"Yes, this guy may have something to do with the clues left by the third uncle!" Zhen Fan nodded, and said as he walked, "I'm afraid I don't know where this clue will lead me, God knows!" Zhen Fan told Helena about the yellow table paper he found in "Daozang".

"This seems a little uncertain, who knows if those numbers have any actual meaning, maybe you are thinking too much, maybe there is no such thing as a secret at all!" Helena is more practical.

"Maybe, but ...... I didn't have much to do in Temecula anyway, so I came here, and now I'm a relatively idle person, so I think it's a trip! Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter if there was a secret or not, "But even if there is no secret, I haven't run in vain, maybe I can get to know you, which is a big discovery of my trip!" Zhen Fan smiled, and then took two quick steps. Got to a small square in front of it, where there were still some people.

The square is full of locals, taking a leisurely stroll. Sitting quietly, there was a guy playing the violin, and there was an open-air bar on the other side of the square, with a dozen or so tables set up, and people were sitting there drinking.

Zhen Fan beckoned to Helena and walked towards the open-air bar, after paying the price of a beer. He managed to get Lance's whereabouts and his address from a fat middle-aged man who looked like a truck driver.

"Let's go, I know his address!" Zhen Fan walked briskly. Helena, who was standing on the sidelines, walked over and waved her arms excitedly.

Lance's family did live nearby, but Zhen Fan didn't go right when he went, when he knocked on the door. There was no one at home. Only one guy who seemed to be his neighbor who was passing by said loudly to Zhen Fan: "If you want to find this guy, come back tomorrow morning, God knows where this guy is getting drunk!" ”

"Thank you!" Zhen Fan replied loudly, shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Helena, and said with a smile, "It seems that the time is indeed wrong, but I finally found it, isn't it?" ”

"Yes. It's better than going home empty-handed! Helena couldn't hold back her laughter, and the two walked back to the road. It's only half a mile from here to the hostel, and it's not long to get there. The two entered their rooms separately at the door.

The night in Hakensack City was quiet relatively quickly, and before twelve o'clock, there were basically no pedestrians on the streets, and the moonlight shone down, it seemed cold and lonely, but Zhen Fan was not sleepy at all, he stood in front of the window, looking at the woods behind the window, his brows furrowed slightly.

The yin and evil atmosphere there is getting stronger and stronger when it is approaching twelve o'clock, according to reason, there is such a yin and evil place behind, this hotel should have collapsed a long time ago, but this hotel is well stored, and Zhen Fan feels that the waiters here are a little strange.

Remembering that when she was staying, the waitress looked at herself and Helena with strange eyes, at first she thought it was because she and Helena had opened two rooms, which made the waitress a little confused, so she didn't think much about it, but looking at the gathering of more and more yin qi in the woods, Zhen Fan felt that it was not so simple.

"Tuk Tuk!" Someone is knocking on the door.

Zhen Fan turned around quickly, grabbed the door with a flying step, opened the door, and a pale face appeared behind the door, and a woman in pajamas stood at the door.

"Zhen, can I come in?" Helena was at the door, her voice trembling a little!

"Of course, come in!" Zhen Fan hurriedly let Helena in the door, sat her down, and poured her a glass of water, "Drink something hot, you'll feel better!" Zhen Fan comforted her.

"What's wrong?" He asked, watching Helena sip the hot water one by one.

"I don't know, but I can see something, but I can't see it very clearly!" Helena's blushy face began to turn pale again, "Just in the forest behind me, I saw something!" ”

"What is it?" Zhen Fan frowned. Helena has an innate advantage and can see clearly things that ordinary people can't see, even if it's Zhen Fan, if she wants to see those things clearly, she can't do it without the help of mana. Therefore, Zhen Fan didn't use mana just now, so he didn't see it, but Helena saw it.

"I don't know!" Helena shook her head and breathed slowly, "There seems to be something in there!" ”

"Not an ordinary person?"

"No, I have a feeling, like a human soul, bringing a very heavy cold breath, hazy, unreal, and ...... They scared me, from the bottom of my heart! Helena said as if with a palpitation, she did see something different from the forgotten soul.

"You just stay here, I'll go and see!" Zhen Fan said, walked to the side, and picked up his suitcase, where in addition to clothes, there was also an item in the mezzanine.

Layer by layer, the cloth he was holding was opened, and a peachwood sword suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Take this, and use this to attack if there is any danger!" Zhen Fan solemnly handed the peachwood sword to Helena, shook her hand, and comforted, "This is the most effective against those things!" ”

"What are those?" Helena tightly held the peachwood sword that Zhen Fan handed her, and asked uneasily.

"I don't know, but ...... Gotta check it out, don't you? Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to sleep here with confidence! Zhen Fan said, walked to the door, opened the door and walked out! (To be continued......)
