The inconsiderate student had used it as a horror story to scare the girls. In the end, he had been called away by the dean of students, and never showed up at the campsite again.
The pretentious teenager who had spread the rumor had probably been sent home to be with his parents.
However, the terrifying legend left behind by the boy became more and more popular in the campsite, and the Jeff sisters were frightened.
Luke was quite helpless when he first heard about it.
Most of the things that happened among the students were really just pranks.
It was possible that the boy had learned it from a movie or a horror story someone else had bragged about.
Unfortunately, Karen didn't think so. She firmly believed that her daughter wasn't wrong, and that a serial killer really had appeared in that town.
Luke had already parked the car on the side of the road. He said, "How about this? Karen, tell me the address, and Selina and I will look it up. If there's really a problem, I can take them home first. "
Karen hurriedly gave him an address. Luke was stunned for a moment, feeling that the name of the town sounded familiar.
"Springwood?" he murmured.
After his Mental Strength reached 20, his brain reacted even faster, and he instantly recalled a certain place in his memory. He asked, "Is it Springwood, not far away from Crystal State Park?"
Karen quickly replied, "Yes, that's the one. Susina and the girls are at a campsite nearby."
"Which campsite?" asked Luke.
"The one at No. 37 High. There's also a … what was it called … right, Moon Lake," said Karen.
Luke asked, "So, Susina and the girls are studying at No. 37 High?"
Karen said, "That's right. Didn't Jeff tell you?"
Luke: "…"
Jeff had talked to him about a lot of things, but Luke was only eighteen years old. Jeff was very good at making small talk, especially when it came to kids studying.
Jeff might talk about it after they got to know each other better, but the couple had just gone on a trip.
Pondering for a moment, Luke said, "Then it's fine. I know someone at No. 37 High. I've been to that campsite as a safety instructor. Springwood is at least thirty kilometers away from No. 37 High, and there's no direct road. Don't worry, I'll let you know if anything happens, and I'll take Susina and Susina with me. "
Karen said, "Huh? Really? Thank you very much. "
After a few more words, Luke hung up.
After some thought, he called Elsa and told her that they were going to Crystal State Park.
Elsa agreed when he said it was a friend's request, but she told him not to take too long.
It was unavoidable for police detectives to work on private matters; it was even necessary.
To a large extent, the lack of personal work meant that there was no social circle, which was usually the difference between veteran detectives and rookie detectives.
So, the gradual increase in their private work also meant that Luke and Selina had joined the ranks of veteran detectives.
After greeting each other, the two of them went straight to Crystal State Park.
Luke also called Juliet, the dean of students at No. 37 Middle School.
Juliet was quite happy to receive his call.
When she heard him ask about the terrifying legend, she was silent for a moment before saying, "I was at the campsite. This … can't be completely false. Why are you asking this? "
Luke said with a smile, "Aren't you friends with the police department? Since you guys have this kind of problem, I'll check it out and get to the bottom of it. I don't want the kids who are too imaginative to scare themselves. "
Juliet was stunned for a moment. "You're coming?"
Luke said, "Yes, I should be there in an hour. Do you have time to talk about it?"
Juliet said, "No problem. I'll be much more at ease if you're here."
She didn't know how capable Luke was.
However, Luke had braved a thunderstorm to save two complete strangers from the mountains last time, which proved that he was trustworthy.
Also, Juliet had asked about the two tourists later, and said that they were both covered in blood when they were sent to the campsite, and one of them had been seriously injured.
Luke had maintained a calm demeanor when talking to her in that situation, which suggested that he was quite bold and calm, which was very important for a police officer.
The terrifying rumor didn't end after the culprit was sent home. Instead, it continued to spread in the campsite, which gave Juliet a headache.
She was actually quite nervous. If something really happened to the kids, whether or not it was the school, it might be related to the rumor.
That would be a huge problem.
After the call, Luke floored the gas pedal and sped all the way to No. 37 Middle School's campsite.
He met Juliet and talked to her for a moment to get a basic understanding of the situation.
She then brought the two of them to see Jeff's precious daughters to confirm that they were fine.
After asking the twins, Luke and Selina were both lost for words.
After all this time, it turned out that it really did have something to do with the twins.
The twins had inherited their parents' petite stature and outstanding looks. Even their broad-mindedness was vaguely similar to their mother's.
In the school, the two sisters were also very popular.
However, they had also inherited Jeff's communication skills and Karen's paranoia.
During one of their ghost story gatherings, the twins criticized a horror story told by a boy in their class. They pointed out many of the unreasonable parts of the story and said that the boy must have been bragging.
The boy was so criticized that he couldn't speak coherently. In the end, he swore that the story wasn't made up, but something that had happened in his hometown not far away. Not long ago, he had received news from his playmate in town that another playmate had died.
The twins, who had inherited Karen's paranoia, still didn't believe it. Just like that, they went on and on for a long time, and there were even more students watching.
In the end, nobody could confirm whether or not the horror story was true.
But after that night, the twins, who had started the story, analyzed it for two nights with Karen's paranoia, and increasingly felt that it was true. At the very least, it was true that someone had died.
Plus, the horror story began to spread in the campsite, and the boy was sent home by Juliet to reflect on himself.
The horror story added an air of mystery to it.
Luke simply listened quietly. He didn't blame the two girls in either his expression or his words.
Who hadn't been a contrarian before?
From arguing over which hero or villain in a comic book was better in elementary school, to arguing over which girl or boy was more handsome in middle school, to arguing over whether a donkey or an elephant was better at work. Such contrarians happened at every stage of life.
The topics of debate might be different, but the essence was the same.
