No matter how Josh explained that he was only playing a prank and had no real intention of hurting them, the people present chose not to believe him.
Those gleaming blades were truly spine-chilling to look at.
samanatha felt that something was off; looking at the current situation, Josh truly had no intention of harming them.
She wanted to ask for Asa opinion, so she went to Asa door and knocked.
There was no movement inside.
"Asleep? Lang?"
Her sense of foreboding grew stronger. After further knocking and receiving no response, samanatha chose to seek help from her friends.
"Bang!"
However, when the group worked together to kick open Asa door, they felt a chill run through their hearts.
They saw that Asa door had been locked from the inside, and a large hole had been smashed through the window, with bloodstains on the edges, but Asa was nowhere to be found in the room.
This was the second floor.
"Did you do this, Josh?"
"What are you all talking about? My first targets were Matt and Emily."
"Are there others on the mountain?"
"Right now, here, there are only the nine of us."
Emily glared at him, but no one cared anymore.
The group fell into silence, looking at each other without a word.
It was clear that besides the nine of them, there was a tenth person who had taken Asa, who was resting alone in his room, in a way they couldn't fathom.
"We had better stick together now, boys in one group and girls in another. We must not act alone."
Christopher calmly suggested, and the others had no objections, but samanatha glared at him.
"What do you mean? Are you leaving Asa to face danger alone? He needs our help!"
"But..."
The bespectacled man pushed up his glasses.
"We don't know where he is, samanatha. Blackwood Mountain is huge; it's hard for just the few of us to search it all."
"Besides, splitting up is too stupid."
"None of you are going?"
samanatha looked around, but everyone avoided her gaze.
Just as Christopher said, it was too stupid.
Besides, Asa was brought to the party by samanatha, and they weren't very close.
"Fine, if you won't go, I will!"
The blonde girl was rather impulsive, so she immediately grabbed a baseball bat and an oil lamp and rushed out the door.
"samanatha!"
The group was unable to stop her. From the room nearby, Josh's laughter could be heard, as if mocking them for making a choice similar to the one made back then.
"Forget it. I'll go."
The bespectacled man had no choice but to grab his things and follow samanatha.
The people left in the living room fell into a quiet, speechless state.
A long time passed just like that.
"Hey!"
A girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"It's samanatha!"
Ashley was the first to rush over.
...Not long ago, Asa suddenly heard some movement outside the window.
"Hey, Asa, we're outside. The snow is heavy, come out and play."
However, the very instant the voice sounded, Asa sensed that something was wrong.
Beyond the initial jolt, it was because, in his perception, samanatha was clearly still inside the house, investigating Josh as the Seer, so why was the voice coming from outside the window?
Recalling that the Wendigo had the ability to mimic human voices, the answer was obvious!
Was he targeted so quickly?
Interesting.
And of all people to choose, they chose him.
Did Asa look like an easy target?
Did they need to see his 20 points in Constitution and Spirit? Even without any skills, these stats made him a completely humanoid tyrannosaurus. And the Wendigo actually thought he was just an ordinary human?
Asa decided to stay put and not respond for the time being. He acted as if he really thought samanatha was outside and went to the window to check the situation.
Crack!
The next moment, a hairless, pale monster with extremely long, thin limbs burst through the window, roaring as it lunged at Asa.
But Asa gave a light wave of his left and right hands, striking first despite reacting later, and directly slapped the Wendigo that had lunged into the room, sending it spinning in a full circle.
With that powerful slap, the Wendigo was stunned. Why was the ceiling spinning?
This was the result of Asa holding back. Under normal circumstances, one of his slaps would likely have sent the Wendigo's head spinning like Brother Sum from the Axe Gang.
This Wendigo had lost its human reason, but it still possessed the instinct to bully the weak and fear the strong. Asa slap had directly knocked some sense into it.
Seeing that it couldn't handle the human in front of it, the Wendigo let out a whimper and broke through the window to flee.
Of course, Asa had held back, because this wasn't the only Wendigo. Judging by its appearance and size, it wasn't the massive Wendigo that Hannah had turned into either.
Dealing with a Wendigo was easy, but Asa had no way to break the curse of Blackwood Mountain.
In the original story, even if the main cast killed Hannah, who had become a Wendigo, Josh would still become a member of the Wendigos after being dragged into the abandoned mine by Hannah and accidentally consuming human flesh by the time the rescue team arrived.
Unfortunately, Asa was not an exorcism expert. He didn't know how to break things like curses.
In resident evil and 2077, there was no such thing as curses.
Asa leaped from the room out the window, following the Wendigo closely.
The Wendigo thought it had blended into the environment, but it had nowhere to hide under Asa tracking gaze.
Just like that, Asa followed the Wendigo all the way down the mountain road to an abandoned sanatorium at the foot of the other side of Blackwood Mountain.
So it was here.
A look of realization appeared in Asa eyes; the mountain sanatorium was exactly the place where the Wendigos were kept.
After the main cast inadvertently released the large number of Wendigos inside, they had no choice but to use gasoline to ignite a fire, burning most of the Wendigos to death, leaving only Hannah and one of her minions.
Thanks to this Wendigo traitor, Asa had found the Wendigos' lair.
Since that's the case, then go to hell!
Asa pursued without hesitation, his speed so fast that it whipped up a gale in the air.
Thud!
Asa landed in front of the Wendigo, which was hiding in the bushes, creating a deep crater.
If the Wendigo could speak, it would definitely blurt out, "What the fuck," where did this come from?
It scared the hell out of it!
