Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 74 - Stupor and Transport

Chapter 74: Stupor and Transport

Luke went to bed after a shower. There was no sound from next door. Selina had obviously fallen asleep, too.

The Texan countryside was absolutely quiet save for the occasional chirping of birds.

Luke was sound asleep.

After a long time, he suddenly woke up.

He heard the voices of two men next door.

But that was Selina’s room. How could there be men talking in her room in the middle of the night?

Alarmed, Luke tried to get up, only to discover that he felt extremely exhausted, as if he hadn’t slept for days.

Luke was shocked. Had he been drugged?

He thought quickly, and soon found an ability in the system’s list: Basic resistance to interrogation: 100 credits.

He quickly learned the ability. Although his body didn’t recover, a huge load of knowledge on resisting interrogation appeared in his head, including ways to resist drugs.

Using the knowledge he now had, Luke managed to fight off the drowsiness and reach for his gun under his pillow, but he could barely pick it up.

He was going to get up, when two men in masks opened his door.

One of them said, “Be quick about it. We’ve already loaded the woman into the car. Get this guy in it, too. Right, they’re Houston police. Take their guns away.”

Luke’s heart was heavy. Selina had been caught? Also, these people knew that they were police?

Thinking quickly, he didn’t do anything and simply allowed the strangers to move him and take away his gun.

A moment later, he was thrown into the bed of a pickup. Below him was a soft body.

Luke didn’t need to open his eyes; the familiar scent of this shampoo belonged to Selina.

He was less anxious now.

As long as he and Selina weren’t separated, he could still turn things around.

However, the strangers didn’t do anything else. They simply chatted and smoked next to the car.

“Haha. It’s going to be fun this time. There’s another family other than this couple. The husband is a policeman, but the rest of them are just ordinary people. They’ll be boring.” It was Gus, the boss of the hostel.

The other person said, “You’re too greedy. We got three women this time, and one of them is a smoking hot police officer…”

Luke remembered his voice. Just wait. You’ll get it soon!

Gus chuckled. “Forget it. The best you can get is the middle-aged woman.”

The other person cursed. “Sh*t! Why do they get to choose the toys first? Hey, Gus, can we get the others this time?”

Gus said, “I don’t think so, but if you still want them when the game is over, it might be possible.”

The person said, “Really? That’s not bad.”

As they talked, another four people moved something out of the hostel.

Luke couldn’t see anything and could only listen to them.

From the conversation, he was certain that the family had been moved to another car, too.

Six people!

Six people were involved in this weird kidnapping operation.

Based on their conversation, they were only responsible for grabbing travelers, and the real members of the gang hadn’t shown up yet.

The car soon started moving, not toward Wolfkyle, but to the east.

Luke tried to resist the sedative, and quickly recovered as time pa.s.sed.

While his strength was 24, the actual effect was 48 and five times that of a normal person.

The sedative that the strangers had given them was very strong, but not strong enough to turn the victims into idiots.

Thus, Luke had woken up in his room back then, while Selina had remained unconscious.

After twenty minutes, Luke’s fatigue faded away quickly, and his eyelids were now less heavy.

He checked Selina carefully. She wasn’t tied up, but she had obviously been drugged.

Luke thought quickly.

Those people had revealed a lot of information just now.

This wasn’t the first time they had done this; it was almost a game for them.

The strangers who had moved Luke and the others for “the game” later weren’t even interested in regular people; they were more excited about Luke, Selina and Bob, because they were police!

Something was definitely wrong with these people, and it was bordering on madness.

Luke felt around as the car b.u.mped along on the journey. He didn’t find anything except a stick.

Luke rolled onto the stick when he had the chance. He immediately frowned.

F*ck! There were nails in the stick, and they pierced his thigh.

Thankfully, the nails didn’t go too deep.

Luke fumbled around on the stick and exerted his strength to pull out two nails.

The two nails were half-broken in the first place, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to get them out.

Holding the nails in his hand, Luke took deep breaths and tried to adjust his state of mind.

He had a weapon in his hand and Selina next to him.

It was already the best he could ask for in such a nightmare.

However, he did feel it was unfair.

He had gone to all this effort to resist the sedative, pull out the nails, and restore his strength to prepare for what might happen next, but his partner was fast asleep without a care in the world.

Thinking this, Luke couldn’t help but pinch Selina, who was still sleeping happily.

His thigh couldn’t be the only one to suffer.

Selina moaned in her sleep, but still didn’t wake up.

Thirty minutes later, the car stopped.

Luke saw that it was a patch of woods from the bed of the pickup. The woods were lit, not by street lamps, but by the headlights of many cars.
