Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 150 150. Reward, Leave
A private hospital in Des Moines.

"Thank you, Dean, I will always remember how you helped me."

The lovely blonde girl on the hospital bed opened her arms and gave Dean a grateful hug. The plumpness of a mature woman made him squint his eyes.

The husband Leo on the side also held his hand with red eyes, and his tone was slightly trembling, "Dude... I can't imagine how serious it is not to be able to save her. I owe you a favor."

The rebellious girl Julie on the other side of the hospital bed also changed her previous contemptuous attitude, lowered her eyes and said shamefully, "I admit that you are a veritable detective. You saved our family. How much should we pay you?"

"You have already paid, just treat me to breakfast again when you have a chance." Dean waved the hundred dollars in his hand and changed the subject, "By the way, Ms. Camille, do you still remember the past few days? ?"

"Most of them remember, I, I'm sorry Leo and Julie..." Camille put one arm around her daughter and her husband, looked at them apologetically and ashamedly, with tears welling from the corners of her eyes, "I don't know why, inside Braska, the first time I saw that guy, I had a strong affection for him, and I couldn't help obeying all his orders, including leaving the Mike's Hotel as soon as possible, including going to have a tryst with him by going for a morning run...I still think about it , It’s like following a demon. Leo, Julie, you know, I only love you in my life, and I can’t do such a shameless thing.”

Camille was so emotional that her knuckles turned white. Julie quickly hugged her face to comfort her,

"Mum, don't get excited, we believe in you, and we will always stand by your side."

Dean asked again, "What happened before you passed out?"

"I remember entering a hotel room with Lamberton, and then walking up to the clouds in a daze... It seemed like I was surfing... Sometimes I sat on a big bumpy boat..."

Leo's face turned green when he heard that,

"It's all the fault of that damn hooligan!" Julie hugged her mother's shoulders with a distressed expression, and waved her fist again, "He tricked you with vile and shameless rhetoric!"

"That's right. According to my investigation, Lamberton is not an ordinary person." Dean looked around at the family of three, especially Leo. A good impression can almost reach the point of being obsessed with ghosts."

"So, Camille's experience in the past few days was not voluntary at all, but forced, and it would be impossible for another woman to resist."

As soon as this explanation came out, the faces of the wife and husband improved, and there was still a slight difference between voluntary derailment and forced derailment.

"Then did you catch Lamberton?" Julie gritted her teeth and asked, three pairs of eyes focused on Dean in an instant.

"Fortunately, we chased from Iowa to Illinois, and finally caught and tortured Lamberton. I found out that he also committed multiple interstate murders, and his identity is extremely sensitive, and he is wanted by the FBI. , I took a little personal relationship and handed him over to a buddy in the FBI."

"He will spend the rest of his life in prison, and it is impossible to hurt another finger of yours."

Dean seriously babbled,
The family of three were relieved after hearing this, but Leo couldn't help it. As a husband, he didn't have time to do anything, and the whole thing was settled smoothly.

"Can I see the bastard?"

"This guy's identity is a bit special, it's best for ordinary people not to ask more questions." Dean shook his head,
Julie saw her father's reluctance, and persuaded softly, "Treat everything as a near-miss nightmare, and don't mention it again in the future? Camille needs to rest at ease and forget this terrible experience. "

Leo looked at his emaciated wife and begging daughter, and suddenly turned his face away, clenched his teeth, and his forehead was raised with dimples.In just a short moment, entanglement, pain, and anger flashed across his cheeks one by one... His expression was as wonderful as a miniature movie.

Then he looked at Dean for help.

Dean hesitated for a second, then nodded "encouragingly".

"Yes, it's all over, and we should return to normal life." Leo opened his arms wide and embraced his wife and daughter at the same time, "We will always be a family...no one can change it."

"Woo... Leo... I'm sorry I broke your heart."

"Stop talking...Camille...I love you..." Leo kissed his wife's forehead, and a tear of grievance slipped quietly through the glasses frame.

After all, the head of the family endured everything, but there was no better choice, after all, Camille himself was a victim.

"Okay, three, the matter is over, what's your plan?" After the three of them cried enough, Dean sat on the chair in front of the hospital bed, took an orange, peeled it and ate it.

"Stay in the hospital for a few days and wait for Camille to recover..." Leo glanced at his wife. "We will continue to West Lafayette, Indiana."

"This time, we are not in a hurry...Let's enjoy the scenery along the way and relax for Camille!" Julie pushed back the bangs in front of her forehead, her bright eyes implied anticipation, "Shall we come together, Dean?"

Leo patted him on the shoulder and warmly invited him, "This time, I will not only take care of the breakfast, but also cover all the expenses of the trip. This is a thank you to you."

"I appreciate the kindness, but unfortunately, I must rush to Indiana to finish the work as soon as possible." Dean threw away the orange peel, clapped his hands and got up,
Unwillingly, Leo's family continued to persuade him to stay twice. Seeing his resolute attitude, they finally expressed their understanding regretfully.

"Dean, this is my home phone number. You must contact me when you arrive in California."

"OK, if you encounter any thorny problems again..." Dean is still unable to determine the influence of Lamberton the hedgehog on Camille, "especially if there is any adverse reaction to Camille's body, such as an abnormal pregnancy... Immediately Contact me, I will do my best. But next time, I will give you a [-]% discount at most."

Dean waved goodbye with a joke and left the ward, sinking into the system.

You completed the event - cheating wife.

You attacked a nocturnal species that never eats people and rarely kills, and rescued the unconscious Camille.Then drove all the way for a long-distance pursuit, and killed Lamberton mercilessly in a cornfield, but the words before his death made you feel confused and scared...

Dean had already left the gate of the hospital. It was early morning, the stars and the moon were dark, and the night wind was extremely cold. The breeze suddenly sent a rush of shouts from behind.

"Don't hurry, I still haven't finished talking," Julie trotted to his side angrily holding up the hem of her skirt, walking side by side, shaking her hands behind her waist, raising her cute little face, brushing His eyelashes blinked, "How old are you, Detective Dean, you don't look a few years older than me, you are so proficient in solving problems, and you have easily arrested a dangerous wanted criminal."

"Julie, you should take care of your mother."

"Leo whispered with her."

"Well, I'm older than you."

Dean helplessly helped the front of the deerstalker hat, and smiled at the petite girl,

"But I'm not as smart as you, and I can be admitted to a well-known university. I can only work early and work as a private detective to earn some living expenses to support myself. Running around, I'm tired..."

"Hey, someone finally saw my advantages besides being beautiful." The girl smiled, and a sly look flashed in her eyes, "But don't lie to me, if you are really short of money, you won't refuse me Ao's remuneration, how can you get 0.1 knives with 100% discount? This kind of case is already considered a criminal case, and it will cost at least thousands or tens of thousands of knives to ask someone to help you."

"Then I'm at a loss." Dean made a painful expression.

"So the notarized Ms. Julie will compensate you now." Julie smiled brightly, her lips glistening, "Where are you going to work in Indiana?"

"A small town in western Indiana, Hawkins." Dean said casually, walking quickly to the parking lot,

"I've never heard of it, but they're all in the same state, so it must be not far from Purdue University where I'm studying." Julie turned her eyes and invited, raising her delicate face with pink cheeks and cheeks, "Wait for me to wait in the university." After you settle down, come to the school as a guest, and I will introduce a group of beautiful roommates to you!"

Before Dean could answer, she couldn't help but smile out of her own imagination,

"Then I can threaten them. I have already hired super detectives to find out all the scandals and fools they have done in high school! I have got their handle, and whoever dares to bully me, I will reveal it!"

What a little devil, Dean opened the door of his car and got into the driver's seat.

"we'll talk about it then."

"Then I'll take it as your promise, and I call you to come." Julie lay down in front of the car window and waved at him anxiously, "This is your last chance, Mr. Detective, you don't have any personal questions to ask." Ask a cute girl?"

problem?

Dean thought of the prophetic words he heard before killing Lamberton, the Nightcrawler,

"Have you heard of Bavern?" The term is familiar to him, and it should not be too rare, so there is no need to keep it a secret.

The girl in a floral skirt pursed her mouth in disappointment, then rolled her black eyes, jumped on the spot with her hands behind her back, stretched her beautiful neck like a white swan, and solemnly announced,
"In order to thank you for your righteous deed of saving Camille, I, the Queen of Wisdom, Julie, is here to answer all your doubts. Baphomet, also known as Baphomet, is one of the monsters recorded in the Bible, and the most famous in countless documents. Christian devil. I studied philosophy, and I learned a little bit of religion along the way so I understand it."

Dean tightened his grip on the steering wheel. How did he get involved with religion?

"Baphomet has the head of an antelope, the torso of a human, the lower body of a deer, and the tail of a scorpion. There is a burning flame at the tip of the tail, emitting a green light."

"In America, in various ancient legends throughout the West, it has many nicknames: the spreader of black magic, the sheep of Mendez, the dark goat, the scapegoat, and the most famous is the incarnation of the devil Satan..."

"In short, Baphomet symbolizes darkness, uncleanness, and certain horrible creations."

Christian devil?Creations of darkness and terror?Satan?This is undoubtedly a powerful and ancient existence, so what is the relationship between it and the deformed nocturnal species?
When Lamberton mentioned it, his tone and demeanor were full of adoration and fanaticism, and he used the title of the god "he" to describe it.

Dean touched his chin, took out a thick supernatural encyclopedia, and began to analyze and write after the hedgehog head's detailed records:
"The Buffalo mentioned by Hedgehog Head should not be a Christian devil in the traditional sense, but a totem, belief, or leader or ruler worshiped by the Midian nocturnal species? It protects the nocturnal species from the persecution of the law of convergence, and will not Terrible supernatural events caused by mass gatherings."

"And it made its mark on me... probably when I killed the Gorgon."

"What is it trying to do? What does it want from me?"

"The answer is in Athabasca to the north?"

The tip of the pen paused, and Dean shook his head. With his current strength, he can deal with an ordinary nocturnal species, but he has to run away at two ends. God knows how many heads Midian has.

Unless he was strong enough, he wouldn't rush to North Athabasca and throw himself into the trap.

In addition, after this incident, Dean's perception of Midian became complicated. He used to only think that it was an evil place where man-eating monsters gathered.

But now he found that there are snake-haired men who cannibalize people without blinking, and hedgehogs who maintain human form just to find a woman to reproduce.

Are there nocturnal species that behave more mildly, such as those that are not illegal or criminal at all, and are not harmful to society at all?

This problem can even be generalized to all other monsters.

Dean couldn't help thinking ahead——

What should I do if I find a monster that obeys the rules and is harmless?directly destroy, or...

……

"Dean, why are you in a daze?"

"Sorry, I just thought of something." Dean closed the tome.

"Do all detectives suffer from intermittent deafness when they think about problems?" Julie rolled her eyes for nothing, "I will forgive you generously this time, but remember our Purdue University appointment!"

"Remember." Dean casually threw a lollipop stored in the car to the girl outside the car window, watched the other party catch it in a hurry, and smiled, "I also give you a piece of advice, don't always roll your eyes , or it will become ugly!"

Dean hit the gas, left the stomping girl behind, and headed for Indiana.
