The next moment he saw the information, Ethan was stunned.

Then he quickly called Blake's number, but no one answered.

At this time, the long-dormant system sounded.

Ethan hurriedly called out the system and put one more task on the light screen panel.

"Rescue Mission: Rescue Black."

"Success Reward: +1 for Skill Book."

Ethan immediately turned off the light screen and checked the ammunition.

After sending another message to Hood, he quickly drove the Dodge Challenger to Uncle Black's house.

It is not known what is going on, but Blake is no longer in touch, and it is not unclear to find her uncle Jonathan in the first place.

This mission, even if there is no reward, must be successfully completed, because the result of failure is self-evident.

Thinking that Blake, who had been playing in the lake with him two days ago, was now in danger of his life, Ethan couldn't care about speeding, and the Dodge challenger roared along the road.

After a quick spin of the wheels for more than an hour, this time it was soon at Blake's uncle's house.

After stopping the car, Ethan didn't notice anything unusual.

Through the window, Jonathan's wife can be seen busy in the kitchen.

Haven't they found out that something happened to Blake, this kind of thing Blake won't joke with himself, and the system task has also appeared, there will be no fake.

Ethan hurriedly got out of the car and ran to the door of the house and banged.

"Who's coming?"

Soon, Jonathan's wife Karen opened the door, and when she saw Ethan, her eyes lit up, "You're Ethan, right?" Blake hasn't gotten up yet. ”

Ethan was stunned for a moment, why was he still sleeping at home.

After Karen finished speaking, she shouted Blake's name loudly to the second floor, and after a while, it was Jonathan who walked down from the second floor.

"She went out for a run early in the morning, what are you looking for her?

Jonathan had just finished speaking when he saw Ethan "Hey, good morning Ethan, why are you here?" ”

Ethan didn't explain, just took out his phone and clicked on the message that Blake sent him, and then handed the phone to Jonathan.

Jonathan took the phone with a puzzled expression, and after looking at it, his face changed.

"Are you sure?"

Ethan said with a serious face: "I can't contact Blake anymore." ”

At this time, Jonathan also picked up his mobile phone to call Blake, and after hearing the blind tone, he also looked nervous.

"If that message is true, we need to get to Mecha."

"I am."

Ethan anxiously patted the uniform on his body that he didn't have time to change into, "Do you remember which direction Blake ran in the morning?" ”

Jonathan stretched out his hand in the direction Ethan had come, and Ethan was about to leave when he grabbed him.

"I'm going with you, you're not familiar with this side."

Ethan nodded and said, "No problem, let's hurry." ”

Jonathan grabbed the jacket hanging by the door and hurried away with Ethan, leaving without forgetting to call Karen.

After watching the two of them leave in a hurry, Karen put down her clenched hands and ran back to the living room.

Her daughter, Wendy, walked down the stairs in her pajamas, still holding a doll in her hand.

"Mommy, where is Daddy?"

Karen squeezed out a smile, "He's going out to buy something, you go brush your teeth, and come over for breakfast later." ”

After talking to Wendy, Karen turned around and saw that the car outside the window had disappeared at the end of the road, and she grabbed the phone with a solemn face.

After driving in the direction pointed by Jonathan for more than ten minutes, after passing an abandoned factory building, there were flat farms on both sides of the road, and few houses were seen.

After not even finding a trace of the anomaly, Ethan lifted his watch and looked at it.

"When did she go out in the morning?"

After Jonathan gave him an approximate time, Ethan slammed on the brakes and quickly turned the wheel.

"Based on the time you said, and the time I received the distress message, Blake wouldn't have been able to run that far if he had been running."

Jonathan nodded, "That's right, it's only an accident that happens near my house." ”

Ethan hurriedly asked, "Is there anyone living near your house?" We can ask if anyone has found anything. ”

"There is only one abandoned meat processing plant nearby, the red building that I just passed by, which has been abandoned for many years."

Jonathan thought for a moment and continued:

"By the way, there is still a person living behind the meat processing plant, but it is still a few dozen meters from the main road, so you shouldn't notice the situation outside."

"Anyway, go ask about it."

Ethan slammed on the gas pedal and returned to the factory he had just passed.

Looking at the red brick façade and broken glass entwined with vines, Ethan turned to Jonathan and said:

"I remember here, the last time I passed by Black, she said she saw a little boy inside."

"I don't know, maybe it's the kids from the neighborhood who come to play, and you know, kids like to play adventure games."

Jonathan shook his head, and hurriedly raised his hand, "That's from here." ”

Ethan quickly turned the steering wheel, and the Dodge Challenger turned into a remote path.

After driving a few dozen meters, a very dilapidated wooden house appeared in front of him, connected to the abandoned meat processing factory next to it.

In front of the house, a "scarecrow" was erected, Ethan didn't know how to describe it, the outside was covered with a black cloth, and a huge white bone bull's head was erected on it, which looked particularly weird.

Ethan slowly stopped the car and looked at Jonathan.

"The factory next to it is the Sutter factory, which, as I said earlier, has been abandoned for many years." Jonathan continued:

"Now the son of the former factory owner lives here, named Gramm, who is about the same age as me."

"He never went to school, he was left to work in the factory by his father at a very young age, only to close down from the factory, and after his father died, Graham was here by himself, with very little contact with the outside world."

Ethan turned off the key and looked at the house in front of him, and said with a twinkle in his eyes:

"In that case, this Gram you're talking about sounds like a freak."

"He's a freak." Jonathan shrugged his shoulders and noticed Ethan's gaze.

"What do you mean?"

"Anyway, I think this Gram is suspicious, let's be careful."

Ethan finished speaking, and pushed the car door open.

According to Ethan's situation as a town police officer during this time, if the lawn and green plants in front of and behind the door are carefully mowed and maintained, then the economic income is generally good.

Those with poor economic conditions will also try to make the living environment more comfortable by themselves.

In front of me, the house is in disrepair, the outside is overgrown with weeds, and the vines entangled in the factory have climbed to the roof of this side, which looks very desolate.

As he walked to the front of the door, he passed an old car, which was so dirty that Ethan suspected that he could kick it open.

But looking at the traces on the ground, the vehicle is still in use.

Coming to the door, Ethan glanced at Jonathan and slammed the door a few times.
