Chapter 17: : Evil spirit
Although Ronin entered the forest in the morning, it didn't take much time to clear Wendigo's lair, but in the end he really set foot on his way back in the evening.
There is no way, carrying a corpse is a very troublesome job. Even if Luo Ning's movements have been accelerated as much as possible, the duration of the powerful adrenaline is only ten minutes. In such a short time, it is impossible for him to put all Wendigo's body was loaded into the car.
After falling into a weak state, Ronin had no choice but to rescue Terry and the others in the mine and let them help carry Wendigo's body. As a result, the move moved from morning to evening. It was not until Ronin's heart was tired that they reluctantly loaded the car.
Returning in the evening, just after the car drove for a while, the sky quickly dimmed, night fell, and darkness shrouded, making this vast and desolate intercontinental highway instantly add a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
The land area of the United States is huge, and its terrain is mostly plains. Therefore, most of the intercontinental highways built between continents have such characteristics. They are empty and desolate. Although the scenery is vast, it is also boring. , so that people on the road are very eager to stimulate.
This is why in Hollywood, road movies, especially road horror movies, have always endured. Road culture is a very representative part of the American federal cultural system. Many filmmakers like to choose this theme to sway. Your own creativity and inspiration.
Of course, this is a more literary statement. In fact, the biggest feature of road films is not the culture, but the cost. It does not need many tricks, nor does it need any architectural landscape, a road, a car, and a few actors. , you can make a movie, is this low cost?
Undoubtedly, very low, but it is such a low-budget film that often achieves good commercial results. Take the famous "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as an example. The production cost of this film is less than 100,000 US dollars, but After the broadcast, it took in 30 million US dollars at the box office in North America.
Low-cost production, high-yield returns, how can such films not be favored and chased by capital, so many filmmakers are keen to shoot road films, especially thriller road films, there are a lot of road thrillers almost every year. Movies on the subject.
This also makes the road in the world of movies always a troubled place, you never know what kind of mess you can hit on it.
It seems like now...
The cold wind whistled, and with chills swept in in bursts, Luo Ning sat in the car, holding the steering wheel in one hand and the phone in the other, dialing the number that had not been heard from for more than ten days.
Unfortunately, this time he didn't get through either. Luo Ning frowned and put down the phone, but the worries in his heart still lingered.
Because he was an orphan in the last life, even though Luo Ning has lived in two lives after his rebirth, the relationship between father and son is still very deep. Now that Rhode has disappeared without a sound, Luo Ning is naturally worried. If not There is really no news or clues, he has long gone to find someone.
Thinking of this, Luo Ning's brows tightened again. As for Constantine, his knowledge was limited to the movies before the rebirth and some information and rumors collected after the rebirth.
Leaving aside the movie for the time being, among the information and rumors collected by Ronin, Constantine is almost a symbol of bad luck. Basically, wherever he goes, he will die, and whoever he finds will be unlucky.
It is said that he was once a member of the Hunter Guild and the Mage Association, but he was later expelled for unknown reasons. Since then, everyone has avoided seeing him.
There are even rumors that he was cursed by demons, walking in the world to spread disasters, and everyone who came in contact with him would encounter unknown things.
Now that his father has a relationship with this kind of person, Luo Ning is also very troubled, especially when these two guys are disappearing, he can't even find anyone.
"Forget it, the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge, there will always be a way!"
Luo Ning is not the kind of person who turns bullshit. Since there is no clue about the matter, then don't think about it at all, and go back to the office to deal with the body of this car.
"Zi~Zi!"
Just when Ronin was about to concentrate on driving, an old radio placed on the driver's seat suddenly made a loud electric sound.
"Ok!"
Luo Ning looked at the old radio that suddenly made strange noises, shook his head, and laughed at himself: "Am I lucky or unlucky?"
After all, Luo Ning turned his eyes to look out of the car, only to find that the surrounding area was filled with fog at some point, and the visibility was extremely low.
Seeing this, Ronin didn't stop either, but slowed down, allowing the heavily overloaded Ford Raptor to drive slowly in the lane.
Suddenly...
"Wow!"
A bleak cry came from ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Luo Ning looked at the sound, only to see another person on the side of the road ahead, a blond woman in white pajamas.
She was standing by the road alone, crying with her back to Luo Ning's direction. Her bumpy body was looming under the thin white pajamas, which made people wonder.
"Ok!"
Seeing this, Luo Ning's reaction was also straightforward. He drove the car forward, stopped beside the blond woman, rolled down the window, and asked aloud, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
The woman sobbed and turned her head slowly, revealing a gray, thin, wrinkled, terrifying face. There was not even skin on the nose and mouth. The pale bones and gums were exposed to the air, but they still opened and closed. With a hoarse voice: "Take...I..."
"boom!"
What responded to her was a dark red light that flickered from the holy water that flew out of the car window and the muzzle of the gun.
"what!"
The bottle tube was penetrated and smashed by the bullet, and the holy water with a faint light splashed out. Together with the bullet wrapped in magic power, it slammed through the illusory body of the woman, triggering a shrill scream, and then the phantom collapsed and followed. The wind is gone.

Ignoring the system's evaluation, Luo Ning nodded in satisfaction, looking at the rapidly dissipating phantom, and said to himself, "It's not bad, but it's a pity that there are no corpses."
After saying that, he closed the car window, stepped on the accelerator, and took advantage of the night to rush to Miami in the dark.
