At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a white Range Rover Extended drove into a rest stop called "The Outpost" on the side of the road.
A group of six college students, three men and three women, jumped off the Range Rover from San Francisco and headed along Highway 1 to the Lake Hota Campground for a vacation, the last stop on the route, where they had to fill up their tanks and buy some food and drink.
In the supermarket at the rest stop, when they were holding a bunch of snacks and drinks and preparing to check out, they found a young man standing in front of the cash register talking to the cashier, and it didn't seem to be checking out.
One of the six white boys, named Jack, was the organizer of the camp. His parents, both doctors, ran clinics in San Francisco, and in his early years bought a log cabin by Lake Horta, but it was abandoned due to his busy schedule.
This time, Jack finally got permission from his parents to take his friends to the cabin to get ready to play, and by the way, he spent a crazy spring night with his girlfriend.
Jack walked up behind the young man, and he finally figured out what the young man was doing in front of the cash register.
I saw the young man holding a leaflet with a missing person notice printed on it, and he said:
"Can I put this flyer in the store?"
The cashier was a chubby middle-aged man with a pair of small glasses, he lifted the glasses and said:
"Your friend is missing? Oh...... It's pathetic......"
"Yes, she's my girlfriend."
The young man looked at the cashier, "I hope these flyers will help, can you?" ”
The cashier sighed, shrugged his shoulders, and replied:
"If this store is mine, you can post it all over the wall, but unfortunately this store is not mine, this has to be said by the boss, sorry...... And I know he doesn't have that good heart......"
The young man hurriedly said:
"Can I meet the boss? I talked to him and hoped he could open up. ”
"He's not here."
The cashier spread his hands helplessly, "You're disturbing the business, is it going to settle the bill?" ”
Jack hurriedly squeezed over and said to the young man:
"Sorry, we're still on our way, can you let us settle the bill first?"
"No problem."
The young man nodded, got out of the way of the cashier, and looked at the cashier who was busy checking out, he shook his head, picked up the duffel bag on the ground and walked out of the supermarket.
This young man is Sam Winchester, the other actor in the American drama "Evil Force", and the younger brother of the Wen brothers.
Sam walked over to the bike parked next to the rest stop, anxious.
When Sam was still an infant, his mother was killed by an evil being, and his father trained him and his brother Dean to become supernatural hunters (witchers) in order to avenge his mother, but then he left his father and brother to study alone, successfully admitted to college, and is about to enter law school.
But unexpectedly, his brother Dean suddenly appeared, he told Sam that his father had lost contact while hunting for evil spirits, although Sam was reluctant, but he reluctantly accompanied his brother to investigate the truth about his father's disappearance, and in a small town they solved a female ghost in white together.
When they return to Sam's house, Dean strangely spills white salt in the house and tells Sam and his girlfriend Jesse to be careful. Sam felt uneasy, and sure enough, evil attacked them at night, but luckily Dean arrived, and they joined forces to repel it. But Jesse was so stimulated that her parents took her to Hota Lake to relax, and Jesse disappeared.
All this made Sam upset, and he even quarreled with Dean, blaming his brother for everything. But in fact, Sam knows that it is not his brother's fault, he just doesn't want to fall into this kind of hunting life, and become like Dean by stealing credit cards, pretending to be a fake police officer or other identity that is convenient for investigation, to hunt down those evil spirits that ordinary people don't believe in at all, he doesn't like that kind of life, that's not the life Sam wants.
But now Sam has taken the initiative to step into this life, because he has a hunch that Jesse's disappearance must not be man-made, and that there must be an evil guy who has kidnapped Jesse.
At this time, a police car drove up to the rest stop, and from the police car stepped down a middle-aged police officer, who was a police officer from the nearby town of South Hota Lake.
He walked up to Sam and asked:
"Hello, I received a call from someone saying that someone is posting a missing person notice everywhere, is that you?"
"I posted it."
Sam replied.
"Okay......"
The middle-aged police officer interjected and sighed, "We have been investigating the case all along, you may think that we are not doing our best, but the police station has dispatched the two most experienced police officers to take charge of this case, and the whole police station is searching for the girl." ”
"I understand."
Sam asked, "But don't you still have any clues?" ”
The middle-aged police officer stared at Sam and said:
"Do you know how many cases of disappearances there are every year in Sam Country? 640,000 ...... And in this small rural area alone, there are dozens or hundreds of disappearances every year. What do you think would be like you if every one of the relatives of the missing person was like you, who didn't work or live, but just posted missing person notices everywhere? Believe the police, we'll find your girlfriend, go home and wait for news. ”
"I'm afraid she's been killed."
Sam shook his head.
"Oh——! Oh, my God. ”
The middle-aged police officer said helplessly, "We have done countless interrogations, but there is no indication that the girl suffered a misfortune at Hota Lake, there are no witnesses, nothing, she may have just left here." ”
"Nope."
Sam stared at the middle-aged officer and said, "I don't think so. ”
"Do you believe the legend of that murderer?"
"Murderer?"
Sam thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, I just got here and heard that something terrible seems to have happened at Lake Horta. ”
"Yes."
The middle-aged police officer nodded, "Not many people know about this matter, or many people have forgotten about it." ”
"What the hell is going on with that murderer?"
"Actually, I don't know ......."
The middle-aged officer shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "But we've caught a psychopath in the past two days, and he's been saying that there's a homicidal maniac named Jason who wants to kill him." ”
"Jason?"
Sam frowned, as a supernatural hunter, he was still very sensitive to this kind of thing. After thinking about it, he asked, "Mr. Officer, can I meet that patient?" Maybe he'll know something about Jesse's disappearance. ”
"This ......"
The middle-aged police officer pinched his chin and thought about it, "Yes, but you are not allowed to post missing person notices everywhere." ”
"No problem."
Sam nodded, striking a verbal deal with the middle-aged officer.
He then got on his motorcycle and followed the police car to the South Hota Lake Town Police Station.

Rorschach drove toward Lake Horta in a black Chevrolet SUV lent to him by Agent Coulson, with a variety of weapons behind his seat.
Due to the limited manpower, Agent Coulson was unable to give him support in the hands of the people for the time being, but this was more in line with Rorschach's wishes, as he had the Warcraft professional skills, it was actually more convenient for him to fight alone.
In apologies, Coulson lent Rorschach a cart of munitions that could have armed two SAT teams to the teeth, but now all of them were used by Rorschach alone, including a special forces Barrett sniper rifle.
Rorschach glanced at the little crow "Maddie" and the red-spotted poisonous spider "Alani" lying on the passenger seat, the corners of his mouth hooked, and thought to himself that this time he might really have to do a big job.
