Demon Hunter and His Hut - Chapter 28

Chapter 28
Seeing the haggard face of the red-haired girl, Roger felt a little bit sorry. He fell into the great excitement of moving the hunter’s hut last night, ignoring that someone in the woods had been looking for him.
“Feel sorry……”
Roger originally wanted to say something more, but Amanda didn’t give him any chance to speak. She clung to Roger tightly, the power was surprisingly powerful.
At this time, hearing the voices of the two, several police officers around also took the initiative to approach. Roger saw the burly and majestic Greg, and Andrine who looked at ease.
“Where did you go? Then a few more beasts sprang out of the woods. I lost my way in a panic, but I went further and further…”
It’s okay if he didn’t say it, after listening to Roger’s words, Amanda actually burst into tears.
This abnormal behavior of the red-haired girl made Roger a little embarrassed for a while, and wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say.
“Roger…”
Amanda choked.
“Simpson is dead!”
“Betty and I can only watch him die by our side, but can’t do anything.”
“what?”
Roger was taken aback for a moment.
He was attacked at the time and time is running out. He didn’t have time to take a closer look. But according to common sense, Simpson’s injuries were not fatal, as long as they returned to the edge of the woods…
“what happened?”
Roger asked in a deep voice.
“It’s Bob!”
Amanda wiped away her tears.
“Betty and I helped Simpson to walk behind. He was heavily injured by the two of us. We didn’t dare to make too much noise in the dark, but when we walked out of the woods and returned to the edge of the road…”
“Bob’s car is gone!”
“Later we learned that he and Lucy rushed to the edge of the woods ahead of time. These two guys didn’t care about our life or death, and ran away when they got in the car!”
Amanda clenched her fist tightly, her eyes filled with angry flames.
At this time Andrin walked in front of her, she stepped forward to pull Amanda away, and then handed Roger a thin blanket, “Well, are you hurt?”
Amanda also noticed this problem at this time and hurriedly asked.
“I was lucky, but I fell a few somersaults in the mountains.”
Greg gave a thumbs up.
“Like a man, I really want to take a look at you!”
“It takes a lot of courage to choose to stay in that situation.”
“Okay, don’t talk about it anymore. Send them back quickly. Roger hasn’t rested all night, so he must be exhausted.”
Andrin beckoned and found Roger, everyone’s task was temporarily completed, but thinking of the dead Simpson, everyone couldn’t help but cloud a layer of haze.
“Didn’t it mean that there are no beasts outside the forest?”
Roger got into Andrin’s car.
“The incident is still under investigation.”
Andrin was obviously reluctant to talk more, “Take a good rest and leave the rest to us.”
“And you!”
Andrin suppressed her anger and glanced at Amanda in the rearview mirror.
“From today you have been banned!”
Amanda didn’t say a word. When this happened, she was considered the hardest hit among the crowd. Seeing the haggardness on her daughter’s face, Andrin also felt relieved for a while.
“Don’t think too much, you are not to blame for Simpson.”
“You and Betty are both good girls, and Mom is proud of you.”
Amanda still didn’t say a word, but buried her head deeply with her hands covering her face.
Roger can imagine the scene at that time.
In the dark bushes, two weak girls pulled Simpson, the looming wolf howl in the distance and Simpson’s painful grunt constantly stimulated their eardrums.
When they rushed to the place of departure full of hope, what they saw was the empty space after hope was shattered.
Simpson’s injuries were getting heavier and his breathing weaker and weaker, but they couldn’t do anything, they could only watch him step into death.
This kind of despair makes the scalp numb just thinking about it.
Andrew gave Roger a look, and Roger nodded, understanding what Andrew meant, “Give her some time first.”
“I’m sorry, Roger.”
“I just wanted you… but I didn’t expect this to happen. If something happens to you, I’m afraid I won’t forgive myself for the rest of my life.”
Andrin said with emotion.
On the way back, the three of them were thoughtful, and the atmosphere in the carriage was so suppressed that it could almost drip.
Andrin sent Roger and the two back home, and hurried to the police station. There are many things to follow.
After entering the house, Amanda shut herself in the room alone, Roger also felt a little tired, and went back to the room Andrin had prepared for him before, and simply tidied up before falling asleep.
At the same time, the news of Simpson’s death in the town instantly ignited public opinion like wings.
For the next two days, Roger never went out, and he didn’t even see Amanda again. During the period, a police officer came to him and gave him a note, asking about what happened that day.
Roger had nothing to hide. In addition, the news that a few people gathered in the wild to perform mysterious rituals spread like wildfire.
The police even specifically asked him why he rushed in at the last minute to sabotage the ceremony of five.
Roger was just prevarication that it was a prank.
In fact, his existence was greatly weakened in the whole incident. As a stranger, the people in the small town were not familiar with him, and the ordinary people did not know the details of the incident.
But the others are different.
Except for Betty, the other four are all native Baytown residents. Now one is dead, and most importantly, the attention of public opinion has been shifted to another matter.
That’s whether Bob and Lucy escaped.
According to Bob and Lucy, they did run out of the woods ahead of time because of panic, but they did not drive away directly, but waited in place for a long time.
In the process, they endured a huge panic, and they drove back to the town until they didn’t see a few other people for a long time.
And afterwards, it was indeed the police that both of them called.
From this perspective, what the two did seems to be understandable. After all, even adults cannot remain calm in that situation.
But Amanda couldn’t accept this statement.
She and Betty dragged Simpson at a slow speed, but if the two of Bob were waiting in place, they would never miss them.
At this point, Lucy even suggested that Amanda and Betty had missed the place of departure and failed to get to the car in time, which led to Simpson’s death.
She and Bob had called Amanda before they set off, but because of the signal, the call was never made.
The two sides argued differently, and the disputes were indisputable. Judging from the existing evidence, both sides seem to have reason, and it is difficult to make a conclusion for the time being.
On the third day after the incident, Andrin suddenly found Roger, and a strange woman was walking with her.
