Chapter 39 Girl【Please recommend】

"Tell me, what are we looking for in the forest?"

As night fell, the faint voice of conversation in the Devil's River forest sounded.

Two small town police officers clenched their pistols, and scanned the depths of the silent forest with the help of the faint light of the flashlight. Prompted by inner anxiety, one of the young policemen looked at the surrounding environment full of dark shadows, and couldn't help it. Open your mouth and vent your inner fear.

"who knows?"

Shrugging his shoulders, he looked away from the bushes illuminated by the flashlight, and another small town policeman replied nonchalantly.

"Anyway, it's not a good guy."

"You have also seen the tragedy of old Johnson. There is definitely some danger in this forest that we don't know about."

Not to mention, it’s okay, as soon as his colleague mentioned the dead old Johnson, the expression on the face of the first town policeman immediately became a little scared. He turned the flashlight in his hand and looked at the surrounding forest suspiciously. Then he said to his colleagues in a panicked tone.

"Do you think old Johnson was really killed by some lunatic who accidentally wandered into the woods?"

"I mean, that level of destruction is not something ordinary people can do."

Old Johnson's shotgun that was broken in half was still in the evidence room of the small town police station. It was hard for the young town policeman to imagine that someone could be strong enough to tear a shotgun in half.

"Maybe it's just that we thought too much. The murderer was just a brown bear that just woke up from hibernation."

"Hope you're right."

Hearing his colleague's answer, the young town policeman murmured, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the flashlight.

rustle--

In the ears, the sound of leaves rustling suddenly came.

"If there is a situation, be alert!"

Hearing this sudden noise, the young town policeman froze in place, a little at a loss.

The colleague who was still acting with him reacted, pointing the arm holding the pistol in the direction of the sound, with a solemn expression on his face.

Amid the reminders from his colleagues, the young town policeman regained his composure.

He took a deep breath, tried hard to control his palms not to tremble, tensed his nerves and slowly moved the flashlight in his hand towards the shrub that made the sound.

Chirp——

In the next second, a black shadow ran out from the bushes.

"Huh... it's a squirrel!"

Seeing the little squirrel fleeing under the light of the flashlight, the young policeman breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head and was about to say something to his colleagues.

I saw, behind my colleague, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the tree.

boom!
……

"problem occurs!"

In the forest, gunshots were heard.

Amanda and Robin immediately turned and ran towards the direction of the sound.

In the silent forest, the sound of hurried footsteps kept ringing.

Amanda gritted her teeth and walked through a dense bush. The sharp thorns on the vines left small scratches on her face.

Rushing to the place where the gunshots sounded, the first thing Amanda saw were two figures lying on the ground.

"Damn!"

Seeing the policeman being attacked, she cursed secretly.

Falling to the ground, clutching his injured arm, the young town policeman shouted to Amanda who appeared.

"Be careful, she's nearby!"

"she?!"

Noticing the description of the town police, the expression on Amanda's face changed slightly.

Bang, bang!
Behind him, two crisp gunshots sounded.

Turning his head, he saw Robin raised his arm and kept shooting.

Looking in the direction where Robin shot, under the light of the flashlight, Amanda saw a scene that she will never forget.

"Woo~"

In the light, a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes lay flat on the ground with her limbs flat. She was covered with a rag that didn't match her body. Her five fingers spread out like sharp knives and pierced into the soil. She faced Amanda's hand. Under the light, the girl showed strong discomfort, her fingers moved back and forth on the surrounding soil a little restlessly, she grinned, and let out a low growl threat like a wild animal.

"It just doesn't get any worse."

Looking at the little girl in front of her who was acting as fiercely hostile as a beast, Amanda was filled with shock and astonishment at the moment.

Although she had imagined the possibility of the identity of the target of the attack, she still felt unacceptable when the target actually appeared in front of her eyes.

The murderer who killed old Johnson and his hounds in the forest, as well as attacked others, turned out to be the little girl who disappeared from the town a few years ago.

In the silent forest of Devil's River.

Amanda looked at the little girl with a strong hostile expression in front of her, with a hesitant expression on her face.

As a Texas Patrolman, she can shoot those criminals without any burden.

But in front of him, a little girl.

She couldn't convince herself that she shot and killed a child.

The muzzle of the gun in her hand became erratic, Amanda looked at the little girl who was anxiously growling in the light, and felt a fierce struggle in her heart.

"..."

After struggling, Amanda lowered the muzzle aimed at the little girl.

"Boss?!"

Under Robin's puzzled eyes, Amanda spoke to the girl in as soft a tone as possible.

"Hey girl, don't be afraid, there's no danger anymore."

"I promise, no one will hurt you again."

"Woo~"

Facing Amanda's friendliness that she had never felt before, the expression on the little girl's face began to change slightly.

Although she still grinned and growled threats, her green eyes were lost in confusion, and the movements of her fingers slowed down a bit.

Noticing the subtle changes in the little girl, Amanda let go of the tense emotions in her heart.

Raising his hand, he gestured an OK gesture to Robin behind him.

"Quick, quick, right here..."

However, in the next second, the sound of footsteps coming from the depths of the forest, accompanied by the sheriff's cry, made Amanda's heart that had fallen down again.

"what the f**k?!"

Arriving at the scene, the sheriff instinctively cursed when he saw the little girl lying on the ground on all fours and the injured subordinate.

"shot!"

Immediately afterwards, almost subconsciously, he gave a shooting order to the police who rushed behind him.

"do not want!"

Watching the small town police shooting, Amanda reached out to stop it.

However, it was obviously too late.

Accompanied by crisp gunshots.

The bullet left the muzzle and flew towards where the little girl was.

boom!
The copper-colored bullet hit the ground in front of the little girl, splashing a lot of dirt.

"Roar!"

The whole body jumped backward like a spring to avoid the attack of the bullet. The girl looked at the clear hole left by the bullet in front of her, and the low growl that originally represented a threat instantly turned into an angry roar.

With the roar, the little girl in the forest turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the town police.
