Chapter 168: On the Road
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Three days later, the four of them finally entered the final mountain area.
At Mary’s suggestion, they had already bought a lot of food and necessary supplies in the last city and put them in the RV.
When they entered the mountain, Herman was in control of the steering wheel. As the fog grew heavier and thicker, the mountain road became more and more difficult to navigate. The four of them squeezed into the cockpit,
“Drive slowly, slowly…”
Hugh became very nervous when he saw the fog.
Mary looked at him strangely. “You will affect Herman’s driving safety.. What’s wrong with you? Are you hiding something from us?”
Herman also glanced at Hugh. His gaze was obviously in agreement with Mary’s question.
Hugh said with an unnatural expression, “It’s just… I have had nothing to do these few days, so I read the posts and comments about this hotel. It’s said that once you enter the mountain area, it’s equivalent to entering the area of the Karsten Hotel. You will encounter strange things along the way, and only when you enter the Karsten Hotel will you really start sensing danger
“Anyway, there’s no detailed explanation. It seems that any spoilers will be deleted, so there’s only a few warnings, telling you not to explore recklessly! There’s a possibility that you won’t be able to return
“There are even statistics that at least 100 people go missing in the Karsten Hotel every year!
“But every time the police come to investigate; they end up with nothing. They can’t find anything. It’s said that there are even crazy people out there to hurt you…”
Mary took out her phone and looked at the hotel’s rating on the booking platform. It was only 1.4 stars?
This was probably the lowest score on the entire Internet!
But still, just like that, there were still people coming in an endless stream. What was the purpose of this?
Mary said, “According to this, at least a hundred people go missing every year. Why are there still so many people coming?”
Although they did not encounter any other cars on their way into the mountain area, looking at the booking status, some people had booked at least half of the rooms on the twenty-third floor. It was still very shocking.
Hugh had already known about it. “It’s adventure fans from all over the world, as well as fans of the supernatural. This hotel has created a very mysterious atmosphere. Haven’t you noticed that the worse its reputation gets, the more famous it is?”
Adela suddenly felt indignant. “The disappearance of these one hundred people is definitely related to this hotel itself! It’s their doing! They’re too arrogant! When I get there and see what kind of ghost he is, I’ll beat him until he squeaks!”
A gang member seemed to have such a sense of justice. The three of them felt that it was strange.
Mary looked at the road ahead that they could not even see clearly. She narrowed her eyes. “No matter what secrets are hidden in it, we must first ensure our own safety.”
As the car went deeper, the signal bars on their phones reduced. When there were only two bars left, Mary asked Herman to stop the car by the side of the road.
“I’ll send a few messages first. I’m afraid I’ll lose the signal completely later.”
Herman stopped the car. He got up and went back to get some water to drink.
Mary sent a message to Monroe first. “We’re in the mountains. There might be no signal. Don’t worry, we’ll be fine.”.
Then she sent another message to the Big Bad Wolf. “We’re going into the mountains.”
Monroe was probably busy, so he didn’t reply.
The Big Bad Wolf replied quickly, “Be careful, I forgot to tell you, but this time you’ll have a partner who is in the FBI, you already entered the hotel a day in advance. The other party is a female, who is 27 years old and goes under the codename Iron Wolf.”
Iron Wolf? She sounded like a very powerful person.
This time she finally had a partner and it was not like Isidore’s sudden appearance.
However, Mary also felt the danger of the task of exploring the Karsten Hotel despite having a partner…
They set off again, with Herman, who had the steadiest hands, at the wheel.
The car drove slowly, continuing deeper into the mountains.
Gradually, Hugh, who was highly focused, was the first to fall asleep. He got up and said that he wanted to go to the back to rest for a while.
Adela also went back for some unknown reason. Only Mary and Herman were left in the front seat.
Mary had been staring at the front when Herman suddenly called out to her, “Mary, help me get a glass of water.”
Mary was puzzled. Why did he keep drinking water? Did he have a salty breakfast?
However, she still passed the glass of water to him.
Herman reached out to take the water and looked at her. At that moment, Mary suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure standing in the middle of the road from the corner of her eye!
“Be careful!” Mary turned the steering wheel and the car crashed into the cliff on the left!
“Bang!” There was a loud sound!
Herman stepped on the brake and pulled the handbrake.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
“What happened?!”
Hugh and Adela jumped up immediately.
Mary looked ahead in fear and didn’t come back to her senses for a moment.
Herman put down the glass of water and patted her back. “It’s nothing. Let’s get out of the car and have a look.”
The four of them got out of the car. There were no people on the foggy road?
The car was only damaged in the front of a little, so it was not a big deal.
The atmosphere was strange. In the car, Hugh asked, “What happened?”
Mary was still in shock, but she forced herself to calm down. “I just saw an old lady in a white dress with white hair standing in the middle of the road!”
