My girlfriend is a Devil

Chapter 8: Riev Town

Kent frowned in confusion, because with current information and technology, anyone can be tracked by the police if they use the internet. Even if this person does not use the internet, the huge number of security cameras can help the police find his whereabouts.

A person who is missing or has not been found has only one reason, that is, this person does not appear in the city and does not have access to the internet.

Soon after, Kent pulled out a map from a bookshelf, which according to police records, Doris is said to have last appeared in a northern town called Reiv.

Reiv is a small town more than 100km north of the city, not only that, to reach that town besides 100km by highway, you have to walk another 10km to reach this town.

Kent opened the phone to look for more information, and found out that this town is full of old people, there are not too many resources to exploit both in terms of minerals and tourism, so the government does not make roads for cars to run in. In town.

The 10km road from the highway to the town is all dirt road, extremely muddy, so cars can't go, can only walk. That is also the reason that this village is almost completely isolated from the outside modern world, and also the reason that there is very little information about this village online.

Kent now understands why the police can't find Doris' whereabouts, anyway, it's very difficult for a person so far away from modern society to find her whereabouts.

Besides, the police did not search for Doris also because Doris had no motive to kill Ann Reed, anyway, the two had not seen each other for nearly seven years, how could there be a conflict, so the police removed Doris from the list of suspects.

However, it is on the police side, and Kent is different. Although Kent doesn't know if Doris is Ann Reed's best friend or not, the System has launched a quest related to Ann Reed's best friend, that close friend is definitely the key point in Ann Reed's death. .

Kent immediately found more information about being Riev on the internet. However, it took all morning and Kent still couldn't find any useful information, whether it was a photo or directions to the town of Riev were very vague.

Kent is extremely difficult to understand, if that is the case, then that town is isolated from the outside world.

Kent sighed, feeling that sitting still as he was now would not solve the problem. He understood that it was not good to sit still now. Although the System did not extend the time for him to find Doris, he also understood for himself that Ann Reed could not wait.

Kent sensed Ann Reed standing behind him, waiting to devour the other half of his soul.

He approached the sofa and pulled out the knife that was well hidden underneath. The knife is 30cm long, on the blade there are many dried blood stains mixed with red and black. Knife in hand, Kent couldn't understand the cold feeling running down his spine, like someone was behind him.

Currently, this knife is both a weapon to kill Ann Reed and a weapon to keep Kent alive because the System has said that this knife can deal damage to other entities like Ann Reed. , in other words, this knife can kill Demons.

Kent also did not hope that he could kill the Devil himself, being able to defend himself was already a very fortunate thing.

After that, Kent decided to take a nap to make up for yesterday, mentally and physically, he was extremely tired, so he slept from morning until afternoon to wake up.

After waking up, Kent cleaned and carried a backpack out of the house, in his pants was a knife, it was the knife that killed Ann Reed.

Kent does not want to sit still, but decides to quickly find out where Doris is before Ann Reed swallows him.

However, Kent did not know that his actions were being watched by others. At the cafe opposite the apartment complex Kent lived in, the two policemen who had been sitting inside noticed.

These two policemen are no strangers to Andrew and David. The two saw Kent leave the house with a backpack, Andrew immediately asked David: "Kent out of the house? It's suspicious.”

"Suspicious?" David shook his head and smiled, he leaned back in his chair and said, "You're too young."

Andrew felt a little uncomfortable hearing that but didn't know what to say. David is now over forty years old and Andrew is just over twenty-five. The age difference is quite large, so it makes Andrew feel that what he does has no meaning in David's eyes. Andrew angrily shouted: "So where is Kent going?"

David gently took a sip of his coffee and said, “I was looking for news about Ann Reed's death. A young man whose lover is killed, what do you think Kent would do?"

"Revenge?"

David clapped his hands for Andrew's answer: “That's right. Right now Kent is going to look for clues according to the file I gave him."

"So what do we need to do?" Andrew asked annoyed.

“No need to do anything.” David replied, “Just sit back and wait. Think about it, we did not find any clues when we investigated, what did Kent find out? Besides, no matter what we investigate, we will benefit.”

David watched as Kent's back slowly disappeared from the crowd, a puzzled smile on his face.

…

Kent took a Taxi to a place near the town of Riev, more than 100km journey took more than 7 hours to get there, while Kent was thinking about many things.

Arriving, Kent, after paying for the driver, immediately carried his backpack and locator in his hand and went into the forest next to the highway.

As soon as I stepped into the Kent woods, it felt like a completely different world than off the highway. Although it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, the atmosphere in this place was very heavy and dark, with each wind blowing through the trees causing the trees to make some kind of monstrous sound.

Kent shivered from the cold wind blowing past. He looked at the dark and narrow road that led deep inside, with thick trees on both sides that made it impossible for him to see this was the road. If a person is even walking without being careful, they are easily injured by the branches sticking out.

Kent took from his pocket a knife, this knife was a jungle knife, about fifty centimeters long. When he went to a place covered by trees, he slashed with this knife, finding his way to the town of Riev as he walked.

However, Kent was also very surprised, thinking in his heart: "It seems that the people in the town have never gone out or have another way to go out. This road seems like no one has gone through for many years, so the trees cover the road like that.

After walking 2km, Kent was tired, he found a tree to sit and rest. Kent looked up at the sky but couldn't see anything because it was covered by giant trees above. He looked at his watch, it was past five o'clock in the afternoon but the space was dark, he had to use a flashlight to see the way.

“Not good, if we keep going like this, we can only sleep in the forest tonight.” Kent thought.

Looking at the positioning, he knew that he had only walked more than 2km, to reach the village, he had to go another 8km, which was almost impossible.

Far away..

"What?!" Kent was suddenly startled because he heard noises around him. In this quiet forest, even the slightest sound could make Kent hear clearly.

Kent turned around with a flashlight, squinting his eyes in the direction of the flashlight to find out the cause of the noise just now.

Kent looked around and couldn't find anything, he began to panic. Kent clutched the sharp jungle knife in his hand making his hand turn white but he didn't feel any pain but instead was extremely confused and nervous.

"Not good! Something is watching me.” Kent thought of some mysterious creature watching him from the shadows.

Kent is not afraid of wild animals, anyway this place is not too far from the city, encountering wild animals is almost impossible. What he feared were certain entities like Ann Reed, Demons.

Yes, after experiencing Ann Reed's story, Kent began to feel that wild animals or bandits were not as scary as Ann Reed, the girl Kent once loved.

Kent then slowly moved, following the path. As he walked, Kent noticed his surroundings, his eyes still looking ahead, but his ears also listened to even the slightest noise.

In the distance, behind a large tree, a shadow stood still, watching Kent fade away from the darkness. The shadow then seemed to merge into the darkness, disappearing completely.

…

“Ho ho ho …”

Kent leaned against a tree, panting, he didn't know how long he had walked but it was too tiring like this. Currently, the space around was dark, now if he turned off the flashlight, he was afraid that even if he reached out his hand in front of him, he wouldn't be able to see it.

Knowing that tonight must sleep outside, Kent fixed the flashlight in one place, took out tools from his backpack and started to light a fire. Fortunately, when he started, he had prepared everything from sleeping bags, camping tents to outdoor fire tools.

"Fortunately, when I started out, I prepared in advance, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to live in the dark."

After that, Kent very skillfully gathered the surrounding dry branches into a pile, using a lighter to easily light a small fire enough to keep warm. Next, he took out his camping tent, set it up, put a sleeping bag inside, and got in.

Before entering the tent, he also carefully cleaned up flammable objects around, in case he fell asleep, the fire could easily cause a forest fire.

The darker it gets, the deeper the temperature in the forest drops, Kent doesn't know what the temperature is now, but in the summer he feels the cold to the bone. Kent crawled into his sleeping bag, outside, the pile was still burning, the flames seemed to dance so that the light on the tent also flickered.

Kent tries to close his eyes, relax himself so he can rest. All day he had crossed a long distance, still walking several kilometers in the forest made his body extremely tired.

While dozing off to sleep, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Wake up…"

“Kent…”

"Wake up…"

“Kent…”

Kent wondered who was calling because he was so sleepy, but the voice was familiar. Like the voice of… Ann Reed.

"What?!" Kent opened his eyes in surprise. At this moment, he saw a horrifying scene.

A dark shadow of an unknown creature was imprinted on his tent, and Kent wanted to scream, but fortunately he covered his mouth with both hands in time.
