Chapter 14: The Strangeness of Hawkins

On the side roads between towns

A giant off-road vehicle, more than three meters tall, is speeding down the road.

Ahead is the town where Henry, the farm employee, had an accident.

Since the specific location could not be determined, Muguang planned to find the police first to inquire about the situation.

In the distance, Mu Guang saw a street sign indicating the town:

"Hawkins Town"

...

A man and a cat had just driven into the town not far before they were stopped by a police car.

In fact, it can't be said to stop, because there is a checkpoint set up by the police ahead.

Muguang stopped the car, pushed the door and walked out.

This behavior is very dangerous, and the right thing to do is to put his hands on the steering wheel and wait for the police to come forward and interrogate him.

However, Muguang's three-meter-tall giant off-road vehicle was not visible to the police.

"It turned out to be Mr. Mu, why are you here?"

A sturdy middle-aged policeman looked at the teenager with a smile on his face.

There was no hint of nervousness and defense.

Muguang's name has long spread in a nearby town, and as the police chief of Hawkins Town, Hope naturally knows the teenager.

Even if you don't know Muguang, you will know his iconic off-road vehicle.

"You are. Director Hope? Mu Guang hesitated a little, then remembered the name of the middle-aged policeman, and shook his hand with a smile.

"There's a cowboy on my farm named Henrijac who is missing."

Mu Guang opened his mouth to explain, since this director greeted him with a smile, he was naturally respectful.

Director Hope shook his head as he led the way, "Actually, if you don't come today, maybe we'll ask for your help. ”

The existence of transcendents is not a big secret in this world, and Hope heard that in some big cities, there are even transcendents who appear directly in front of people's vision.

But it can't be called extraordinary, it should be called a superhero.

...

"Oh? What happened? Mu Guang was a little curious, and even the fat cat spot on his shoulder pricked up his ears to listen carefully, it liked gossip news the most.

Hope walked to the cordon with Mu Guang and stood still, shook his head and pointed to a forest not far ahead:

"Look, there it is."

Mu Guang looked in the direction of Director Hope's finger: "Fake! What the hell is this?! ”

Even the well-informed teenager was a little disgusted by the scene in front of him.

The woods, and all the surrounding land, were covered in disgusting-looking slime.

The forest has long since lost its former vitality, the trees have withered, the grass has withered, and there is no trace of life.

Mu Guang frowned and wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Director Hope on the side.

"There's no unusual vibrancy to these things"

Director Hope shook his head and said, "It appeared in a wooded area next to the school about a week ago, and then it started to spread rapidly. ”

"Can you still get in the town now?" Mu Guang was a little puzzled, if the town was already covered by these ghosts, why he hadn't gotten any news.

And how did the missing farm cowboy Henry get home?

Director Hope explained, "There are no specific problems in the town, and you can go around it from another road. But there are a lot of residents who have left. ”

As he spoke, he took out the cigarette case from his pocket, asked Mu Guang and didn't care after being refused, he took a light in his mouth and began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, and continued:

"They said that there were traces of monsters in the town, but I investigated all the surveillance equipment and found nothing. There are only a lot of strange traces left! Difficult to explain. ”

"Monsters?" Mu Guang subconsciously remembered the scars on his car and asked softly.

Hope nodded, "That's right, monster!" ”

The two walked back to Hope's police car, where the dissolute middle-aged sheriff sat directly on the front cover of the policeman's car.

Holding the lid in one hand, he looked into the distance and continued, "Since a week ago, a child named Will disappeared, and strange things have been happening in the town one after another. ”

"First of all, the child's mother had to say that her child was still alive, it should be called Joey, a very beautiful woman with a very good figure."

Looking at the old and ageless appearance of the Hope people, Mu Guang also smiled in agreement.

Hope saw that the big man in front of him agreed with his idea, nodded at him with satisfaction, and continued:

She said she felt the call of Will, the child, around her. So she's a little crazy. ”

Mu Guang listened to Hope's words and gently slapped his toes twice.

Where Hope couldn't see, the police car was completely dark, and a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened.

After secretly giving the order for the Dark Ninja to go to the forest and the town to check. Mu Guang continued to listen carefully to Director Hope's story.

"We found a child .." Hope looked a little hesitant, but after relighting a cigarette, he continued with a gentle smile on the young man's face: "She seems to have some superpowers, and I suspect that this matter has something to do with a nearby base set up by the Department of Energy." ”

"Are there any missing people in town?" Mu Guang asked tightly.

"Yes, and a girl named Barbara, and a middle-aged woman forgive me for forgetting her name. That's why the townspeople are terrified. ”

Mu Guang shook his head regretfully and said, "Then now I think there should be a fourth." ”

The ninjas of the Dark Shadow Corps found no body or trace of Henry in the town.

...

Mu Guang felt that this was starting to get more interesting, and he vaguely felt that this might be an opportunity for him to open the summoning again.

In addition, the employees are still missing, and he can't ignore them.

"Can you take me around town?"

Director Hope glanced at the boy with some surprise, although he had heard a lot about Muguang's deeds and his prestige, he had never seen him make a move.

Muguang is also the only transcendent existence he knows.

Throwing the cigarette butt at his feet and crushing it vigorously, the brave middle-aged sheriff nodded in agreement, "No problem, I can't ask for it." Then I'll show you the way. ”

"It's an honor, Director Hope." Mu Guang smiled.

"Hahaha, don't call it Mr. Mu, there are less than ten policemen in the entire Hawkins town." Hope laughed out loud, "Just call me Hope." ”

Mu Guang had already walked back to his car at this time and responded loudly with a smile: "Okay Hope, then please don't call me Mr. Mu, just call me Mu Guang, but don't go upside down." ”

A man's friendship is so simple, it may be because of a sentence or a cigarette or a glass of wine.

You can see if the other party has an appetite for yourself.

Now Mu Guang thinks that this Hope policeman is good: "It's a pity that I should have come to Hawkins earlier, maybe I can have one more friend." ”

The fat cat, who had already jumped into the co-pilot's seat, said: "Or an extra employee?" ”

"Hahaha, that's not bad either!"
