Chapter 174: The Truth
Hugh and Herman soon caught up with Griffith, who had already run out of the hotel and arrived at the hillside.
Griffith looked at his two brothers who suddenly appeared in front of him without any expression, as if he was not surprised at all.
It was not until he saw Mary, who was following behind him, that his expression changed slightly. “Why is she here too?”
Hugh said angrily, “We should be the ones asking you this! Why are you here? And what do you mean by running away when you see us?! What are you doing?”
Mary nodded at Griffith, but Griffith ignored her.
He just pointed at the mountain and said, “I’ll give you an answer after we get up the mountain.”
His attitude seemed mysterious and determined.
The five of them went up the mountain.
.
After going up the mountain, Griffith pointed at some red plants in the grass and asked Herman, “Do you know this thing?”
Herman squatted down to observe for a while, and his face suddenly changed. “This is red algae! Why are there so many red algae here? I get it! The mottled red stains on the outer wall of the Karsten hotel are also red algae! They are not blood stains at all!”
Griffith nodded. “Yes. And, if I’m not wrong, this plant can be used as a knockout drug after being processed. If you breathe in too much or eat it, you will have visual hallucinations and even auditory hallucinations.”
Mary understood. “So, some of the supernatural phenomena that people in this hotel saw and even heard the children playing last night were caused by this plant?”
Griffith looked at Mary in surprise, as if he didn’t expect her to be so smart.
“I think so.”
Adela muttered, “So there’s really no ghost…”
It was an illusion created by this hotel to attract guests!
Damn it!
Hugh was puzzled. “You haven’t answered me yet. Why are you here?”
Griffith’s eyes showed impatience. “Can you not get to the bottom of it? Now that you have found the truth about this, you can leave!”
Griffith turned around and was about to leave.
Mary stopped him. “You may not be able to leave. We followed you up the mountain and were too conspicuous. I saw the people from the hotel chasing us down the mountain.”
Griffith’s expression changed drastically.
He glared fiercely at Mary and the others. “You guys are really courting death by coming here! Behind this hotel is a criminal organization! All the missing people were kidnapped and sold by them! In their eyes, these humans are countless organs that are worth thousands in gold!”
So, it was a criminal organization that sold human organs!
Mary did not expect to find the answer so soon.
And it was Griffith who told her.
Hugh grabbed Griffith. “Let’s get out of here, you come with us!”
Hugh didn’t want to stay here after knowing the danger and the truth.
Griffith tore off his wrist. “No! I came here to die. You don’t have to save me.”
Everyone was shocked.
They didn’t know what kind of stupid thing Griffith was saying.
It wasn’t until Mary said hesitantly, “You’re very depressed, so you really came here to kill yourself? And you found out the truth? So, you still want to stay here. Do you want to be sold for organs?”
Griffith did not speak.
Herman raised his hand and smacked Griffith unconscious.
On the other side, Adela had already met the hotel staff chasing after them.
The other party had a gun, Adela also brought one with him.
Mary let Herman and Hugh take Griffith to quickly retreat to the back of the mountain, she pulled out two knives from her backpack and quickly went to support Adela.
After a chaotic battle, the ground was full of corpses.
Mary and Adela did not linger on the scene. After dealing with this, they quickly chased after Herman and the others.
They chased them all the way down the mountain before catching up with Hugh and the others.
Mary and Adela were covered in blood. Griffith, who had just woken up, stared at Mary in shock, as if he did not understand who she was.
“What should we do now?” Standing on the road, everyone was in a hurry to escape. They did not have a car, nor did they have any luggage. For a moment, they were a little hesitant.
At this moment, a row of black cars suddenly appeared at the end of the fog.
Mary and the others quickly hid behind the trees.
Looking at the approaching team, Adela suddenly jumped out.
Mary didn’t have time to stop him before she saw Adela blocking in front of the team!
The car stopped.
Mary pulled out her bloody dual blades, and her face was covered in frost.
She thought that it would be another fierce battle.
Who knew that she would see the person she was most familiar with!
Monroe Hall!
Before Hugh and Herman could react, Mary had already rushed out and hugged Monroe!
“Then why are you here?! You… Am I really not dreaming?”
Mary rubbed her eyes hard.
She felt that it was still not real.
Monroe smiled slightly and hugged the person in his arms tightly. Although he did not dare to be too bold, he did everything he could.
