Chapter 023: Occult Fragments
"Hey, we're here!"
Roger and Amanda stood in front of the restaurant and waited for a short time when a gray pickup truck burst into the parking lot.
The car door opened, and a tall white young man got out of the car, he looked at Roger with a wary face, "Amanda, who is this kid?" ”
Amanda glanced at the other party with an unhappy expression, "Why are you here?" ”
Just then, a curly-haired black girl got out of the car, pulled Amanda aside, and muttered in a low voice, "We're too far away, Bob happens to have a car, and everyone knows his attitude towards you." ”
"So ......"
She said as she gave Amanda a look.
"You dare to take advantage of me for a car?!" Amanda said angrily.
"If you have a car, I'll let Bob go right now!"
The black girl snorted coldly.
"Okay......"
Amanda's face froze, and then she introduced Roger to the crowd, she didn't say Roger's identity, only that he was the son of her mother's friend.
The black girl named Betty has healthy caramel skin, and she wears ordinary jeans and a white T-shirt to look like a model.
In addition to this, there was a curly-haired boy with pale skin and heavy glasses, his name was Simpson, and he seemed a little introverted, but he just said hello to Roger during the introduction.
The last one is a beautiful girl Lucy with blonde curly hair and a crop top, she didn't even look at Roger, she just kept fiddling with her mobile phone, as if chatting with netizens.
Counting Amanda, they were originally just 5 people, just enough to get together a car, and at this time there was one more Roger, and the young man named Bob was obviously a little reluctant.
However, Amanda naturally couldn't leave Roger alone and sneak out, and finally negotiated, Simpson took the initiative to get into the trunk of the pickup, Roger sat in the front row, and the three girls crowded in the back row.
Then in Bob's displeasure, the group set off.
"Didn't you say that you would act again next week, why did you change the time temporarily?"
Amanda asked Betty.
"It's Simpson, and he's made a new step in his translation work, which just solves a key hurdle, and it just so happens that everyone has time for the weekend."
"Everything?"
"Don't worry, wrap it up on me!"
Betty patted her chest and said.
Bob's technique was not to be said, the pickup truck drove smoothly down the road, and then gradually moved away from the town, the houses were disappearing, and tall trees appeared in rows.
"Where are we going?"
Roger asked.
"Canyon Forest."
Amanda replied, "Oh, forgot, you're not from here, the Valley Forest is the largest stretch of primeval jungle from Baytown, and even borders Riverdale Town to the south. ”
"Is it going camping?"
Roger asked curiously.
"Hey, hey."
Amanda didn't answer directly, "You'll know when you get there." ”
After leaving the town and driving forward for about ten minutes, Bob stopped in an open area.
Everyone got out of the car, took their belongings, carried a few large backpacks, and walked into the mountains.
As a male, Roger was inevitably pulled into the strong, and he and Bob carried a backpack of the same size.
Bob looked tall and big, and he took the opportunity to show off his strong physique, glancing at Roger, intentionally or not.
"Hey man, you should be doing more outdoor workouts, you're in high school now, and no girl will like you."
"I think it's good now."
Roger replied lukewarmly.
He just looks thin, but in fact he is not weak at all, and the changes made to him by Nilfgaard's physical enhancement technique are very secretive, and in terms of physical fitness alone, not to mention that Bob is the best of the rugby team, he may not be Roger's opponent.
Roger is confident in this.
Choked back by Roger's words, Bob looked like he wanted to have a seizure but couldn't, his fists clenched and released, it seemed that if it wasn't for the girl's favor, he would have done it to Roger a long time ago.
Through this conversation, Roger also guessed the purpose of the small group's trip.
The five of them, with the exception of Bob, are a loose occult group, and everyone is interested in some mysterious events, and they also like to collect some related information.
They would get together and interact with each other during the holidays, and this time, it was said that Simpson got a real occult fragment, which brought everyone together to experiment in the wild.
They tried the same thing almost every two weeks, and the results went without saying, and they all ended in failure.
But everyone doesn't seem to care, and they still enjoy studying it.
Roger originally wanted to see the so-called occult fragments, but was rejected by everyone on the grounds of secrecy.
According to Simpson, true occult knowledge is hidden, and the less people know about it, the better it works.
Roger looked confused.
What kind of bullshit theory is this?
"Ahh
As she went deeper, the trees on both sides gradually became taller and deeper, and a large area of green covered her vision, Lucy put away her phone with a distressed face, for a social freak like her, it was simply a torture to not be able to brush the circle of friends once in three or five minutes.
"The phone is out of signal."
"It's so remote here, we won't be in any danger, right?"
She said with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry."
"Betty and I had already explored the road last week, and it's not that far from the road, and if you walk five minutes further, you should be in that cave."
Amanda explained.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for several people to come to a deep valley, and a cave with a diameter of about three meters appeared at the bottom of the valley.
"Here we are, right here!"
At this time, the sun is deflected, and it is the hottest time in the afternoon, but the air in the mountains is fresh, and the lush foliage obscures the sun, which is rare and cool.
"Well, this place is good, isn't it?"
Amanda walked over to Roger.
"Betty and Lucy are both first-class beauties, which one do you like, do you want me to reveal some private information to you?"
"Circumference information, or personal fetish?"
Amanda showed a very righteous look.
"Forget it, I'm still more interested in the occult fragment you just mentioned."
"Why don't you talk to The Simpson for me and lend me that thing?"
"Huh?"
Amanda looked at Roger with a puzzled expression, "You're not interested in beautiful women?"
"You won't be a ......"
Roger's face was black, and he stretched out his hand helplessly, "Occult fragments......
"No problem, wrap it up on me."
Although it was for the so-called occult experiment, everyone was obviously ready to camp, and while several people were busy packing their things, Amanda quietly ran to Simpson's side, and without knowing what she said, it didn't take long for her to hand a page of origami to Roger.
Although he knew that there were supernatural things in this world, Roger did not believe that a few students could come up with real occult materials.
He didn't do much research on this himself, just out of curiosity.
As he thought, he lifted the origami that Amanda had handed over.
