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

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

At this time, the system that had been silent for a long time rang.

Ethan quickly called out the system and added an additional task on the light screen panel.

"Rescue Mission: Rescue Blake."

"Success reward: Skill Book +1."

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

After sending another message to Hood, he quickly got into his Dodge Challenger and drove toward Black's uncle's house.

We still don’t know what happened, but Blake has been unable to contact her, so it would be right to find her uncle Jonathan as soon as possible.

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

Thinking that Blake, who was playing in the lake with him two days ago, was now in danger, Ethan didn't care about speeding, and the Dodge Challenger roared along the road at high speed.

After the wheel spun rapidly for more than an hour, this time it quickly arrived at Blake's uncle's house.

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

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

Haven't they discovered that something happened to Blake? Blake wouldn't joke with him about this kind of thing. Moreover, the system task has also appeared, and there is no way it is fake.

Ethan quickly got out of the car and ran to the door of the house to start beating.

"Here, who is it?"

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

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

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

"She went out for a run early in the morning, what do you want from her?

"Jonathan just finished speaking and saw Ethan, "Hey, good morning Ethan, why are you here? "

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

Jonathan took the phone with a puzzled look on his face, and after taking a look, his expression 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 and called Blake. After hearing the blind tone, he also looked nervous.

"If your information is true, we need to find Mecha."

"I am."

Ethan anxiously patted the uniform he had not had time to change out of, "Do you remember which direction Blake ran to in the morning?"

Jonathan stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where Ethan came from. Ethan was about to leave when he grabbed him.

"I'll go with you, you're not familiar with this place."

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

Jonathan grabbed the jacket hanging by the door and hurried away with Ethan, not forgetting to ask Karen to call the police when he left.

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

Her daughter, Wendy, came down the stairs in her pajamas, holding a doll.

"Mommy, where are daddy going?"

Karen forced a smile and said, "He went 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. She grabbed the phone with a solemn expression.

After driving forward for more than ten minutes in the direction Jonathan pointed, we passed an abandoned factory. There were flat farms on both sides of the road, and few houses were seen.

After not finding even a trace of abnormality, Ethan raised his watch and took a look.

"When did she go out in the morning?"

After Jonathan told him for a while, Ethan stepped on the brakes and quickly turned the steering wheel.

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

Jonathan nodded, "Yes, accidents will only happen near my house."

Ethan quickly asked: "Does anyone live near your home? We can ask if anyone has discovered anything."

"There is only one abandoned meat processing plant nearby, which is the red building we passed just now. It has been abandoned for many years."

After Jonathan thought for a moment, he continued:

"By the way, there is someone living behind the meat processing plant, but it's still dozens of meters away from the main road, so you probably won't notice what's going on outside."

"Anyway, go and ask."

Ethan stepped on the accelerator and returned to the factory he just passed.

Looking at the red brick exterior wall wrapped with vines and the broken glass, Ethan turned to Jonathan and said:

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

"I don't know, maybe the children from nearby came here to play. As you know, children like to play some adventure games."

After Jonathan shook his head, he quickly raised his hand, "Just go in from here."

Ethan quickly turned the steering wheel, and the Dodge Challenger turned onto a remote road.

After driving forward for a few dozen meters, a wooden house that looked very dilapidated appeared in front of him. The house was connected to an abandoned meat processing plant next to it.

In front of the house, a "scarecrow" was set up. Ethan didn't know how to describe the thing. It was covered with black cloth and had a huge white bone cow head on it. It looked very weird.

Ethan slowly stopped the vehicle and looked at Jonathan.

"The factory next to it is the Sutter Factory. As mentioned just now, it has been abandoned for many years." Jonathan continued:

"Now the son of the former factory owner lives here. His name is Gram. He is about the same age as me."

"He never went to school, and his father left him to work in a factory when he was very young. When the factory closed down, after his father died, Gram stayed here alone and rarely interacted with the outside world."

Ethan turned off the engine and turned off the key, looked at the house in front, and said with twinkling eyes:

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

"He's just a freak." After Jonathan shrugged his shoulders, he noticed Ethan's gaze.

"you mean?"

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

After Ethan finished speaking, he opened the car door.

According to Ethan's work as a town policeman during this period, people here generally have a good economic income if the lawns and green plants in front and behind their doors are carefully trimmed and maintained.

Those with poor economic conditions will also try their best to make their living environment as comfortable as possible.

As for the place in front of me, the house is in disrepair for a long time. There are overgrown weeds everywhere outside, and the vines wrapped around the factory building have also climbed to the roof here. It looks very desolate.

When he walked to the door, he also passed an old car. The exterior was so dirty that Ethan suspected that he could break the car door with just one kick.

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

When he came to the door, Ethan glanced at Jonathan and slapped the door hard several times.
