Despite saying that he was going to run away from home, Joe couldn't help but leave a note before leaving.

Later, they took advantage of Ellen driving a pickup truck into the city to buy goods, and said goodbye to Arthur, who secretly knew about their movements. Only then did they sneak a hitchhike to Lincoln City.

After arriving at their destination, the two hurriedly rented a white Passat from a car rental company in the city.

So, a walk-and-go action kicked off.

After all the car rental procedures were completed, he got in the car and sat in the driver's seat, Joe reached out and twisted the car keys, and the sound of a lighter sounded.

At the same time, she turned to look at Charles: "Ellen and I told us that we were going to Las Vegas to have a friend's break, and I also asked Arthur to falsify the credit card records on the road, so she wouldn't suspect us, at least for a short time." ”

Charles in the co-pilot was hesitantly buckling his seatbelt at this time, and turned his head to look at him when he heard the words.

"Where the hell are we going?"

"Charles...... Did you only remember to ask this until now? ”

"I don't know anywhere anyway." Charles replied.

Qiao blinked when he heard this, his expression slightly pitying. But then she answered the question.

"We went to Philadelphia, where there was an apartment where several young women had recently disappeared one after another, and I checked the information carefully, and in more than 80 years, six women had disappeared one after another, blonde and blue-eyed, young and beautiful, all with the same characteristics."

"So I'm sure it was a ghost who did it, unless he lived for more than a hundred years, or had this fetish since he was a child......"

"By the way, if memory serves, there's a Chinatown in Philadelphia, and if I have time, I think I can take you around......"

Joe said, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the Passat roared straight onto the road.

Heading from the parking lot to the official street, out of the city, and over the speed limit, the white sedan began to speed down the highway at a brisk pace.

Joe's private USB flash drive is plugged into the USB port, and a German music called aloha heja he has been repeated in the stereo, with the vicissitudes of life and melodious tone, with the highway scenery speeding on both sides, as well as other vehicles that swing around from time to time, there is a sense of the world's big, nowhere to go.

At least that's how Joe felt at this time, which could be seen from the unconsciously smiling on her face.

Truth be told, though, Charles wasn't interested in that.

He agreed to go with him, not out of anxiety or to be a flower messenger, in fact, he felt that if it was really for this good, it would be better for her to stay quietly in the bar.

This kind of behavior is full of risks and uncertainties for Joe at the moment.

Because she is a rookie, although she pretends to be very skilled, a rookie is still a rookie.

A rookie who has never gone out to act goes to a strange place to do a 100-year-old ghost kidnapping and murder case? How to think about it, how to be unreliable.

The reason why he didn't refuse this was that he knew that the Winchester brothers had gone after the case before them, and he had heard this at the bar - the contradiction that day was that Jo wanted to do the case by herself after collecting information about the case, but her mother did not allow it, and the case was finally transferred to the two brothers.

So the danger should not be too high, after all, there are old birds.

The second, or most important, is that Charles wants to see what the ghosts in this world are like, and their strength.

For the drama of evil forces, his memory is less than that of ice and fire, and the drama seems to have a lot of bugs, so naturally it can't be used as a reference.

Therefore, it is essential to understand the true energy system of this world.

Now is the right moment.

……

The road was calm and uneventful, only one city called Omaha was entered on the way, and there were countless cities passed by, such as Des Moines, Iowa City, Davenport, etc., and Joe would carefully introduce him to every time he drove on the highway and drangled from city to city, but the only thing Charles remembered was Chicago.

The road is basically just a road, and the occasional city shadow is basically fleeting, and most of the rest are fields, wastelands, and woodlands.

At the beginning, the person next to him was still in high spirits, but as time passed, Qiao Kailang's mood slowly converged, but became quieter and quieter-driving a car for a long time, it is a person who can't stand it.

When they finally arrived in Philadelphia, it was already a day and two nights, and they had only a short break at a gas station and a roadside town, spending most of their time on the road.

Charles actually wanted to help, and he felt that he hadn't forgotten how to drive, but he wasn't familiar with the road at all.

Of course, it's okay to be adventurous, but Joe is not at ease.

So when the Passat arrived in the target city, the beautiful girl who was still full of interest when she set off was already yawning because of the lack of effective rest.

"Trust me, Ellen reacted faster than you think."

She muttered, her hands gripping the steering wheel clenching unconsciously.

……

As the white sedan stops and goes, the emptiness of the highway is left behind as it enters downtown Philadelphia, flanked by rows of tall buildings that glisten in the sunlight with metal or glass sheen, and signs and plaques in English. The surroundings are full of vehicles and pedestrians of various shapes, black and white, dressed in different ways, and most of them are in a hurry.

Quietly watching all this outside the window, Charles was a little dazed, and he couldn't recognize it at all.

Eventually, the car circled around and came to a remote townhouse in the middle of the city that was located on an unknown street.

"It's not far from the Franklin Museum, so it's supposed to be noisy, but it's closed."

Parking the car on the side of the road and glancing at the gray and old-fashioned apartment building opposite, Joe turned his head to look at Charles: "You seem to have some motion sickness?" ”

"How is that possible?" Charles rolled his eyes, he was so, motion sickness was too nonsense......

"How do we get in?" He asked, changing the subject.

"I've investigated, and one of the places where the accident happened was room 207 in this apartment, which is now vacant, and we can pretend to rent it for the time being."

Joe said, looking at Charles thoughtfully, "Pretending to be a couple?" But I think you're a little small, brother and sister? It's not like ......."

"It's a pity, Mom shouldn't have bought you this outfit, it doesn't look mature at all, it's still the original one."

Charles was about to roll his eyes when he heard this, but the other party's added sentence made him feel relieved.

"It was my father's leather jacket, and I thought it was very handsome."

She motioned for Charles to follow her out of the car, and the two of them walked across the road to their apartment.

Probably because of the closing day, the street was quite deserted at this time, and when he came to the opposite side, he pushed open the glass door of the apartment hall and walked in, and a hand next to him naturally put his hand around Charles's arm.

Looking sideways at the other party's down-and-out appearance, he also knew that Westerners were completely different from the Easterners' subtle personalities, so Charles didn't say anything.

Stepping on the white tiles, the two followed the guidance of the cleaning staff to the apartment rental office, where a chubby light-blue uniformed caretaker was sitting.

After looking at the "couple" who didn't have a good match who walked in the door, the other party was a little puzzled, but after learning that they intended to rent the house where the murder occurred, they were immediately overjoyed and directly ignored this small problem.

So the administrator couldn't wait to lead the way in front, explaining the geography and living advantages of this apartment as he walked.

"We may meet acquaintances here." The two of them walked behind him, humming from time to time, and Joe took the time to whisper this to Charles.

Charles had expected this, too, because he had seen the familiar black sedan before he came in.

Sure enough, when the Administrator led them to the hallway of their floor, two "idle" personnel in gray and black coats came into view.

They may have walked out of a room at the end of a corridor and come directly to the Charles.

One is nearly two meters tall, and the other is slightly shorter, but it is basically more than one meter eight. Both of them are dressed a little old-fashioned, not the two Winchester brothers.

At the same time, the two of them also saw Charles, and their eyes widened involuntarily.

"You...... You guys? ”

In the face of their stunned gaze, Joe pursed his lips and smiled unnaturally.

Charles, on the other hand, ignored the two acquaintances, and instead stared behind them with a frown.

If you read it right, at the end of the hallway, next to the floor, there was a dirty black hand clutching at the hollow railing.

[Harry? Howard? The ghost of Dr. Holmes, who died in 1896, is one of the first recorded serial killers in the United States]

[It caused no less than 200 cases of disappearance and death during his lifetime]

[Its spirit is full of resentment and desire]
