Chapter 8 Cabin in the Woods

Kratos sat in the RV, watching the scenery outside the window recede rapidly.

The other four people were discussing the destination of their trip, which was Kurt's cousin's residence in the countryside. They said they couldn't find it using GPS.

Mimir quietly explained the meaning of GPS.

Kratos recalled that in order to find the three goddesses of destiny, he defeated countless enemies, cracked many mechanisms, and used the Blade of Athena to whip the horse of time before he found the Island of Creation. If he had had this GPS, his journey would have been much easier.

Mimir also popularized some information about this world.

Large-scale wars have disappeared, and the development of advanced technology has not only improved material living standards, but also liberated more labor forces.

People don't need to fight to survive, nor do they need to practice killing skills to become stronger. They have a variety of leisure and entertainment activities and will pursue bizarre goals as dreams that they will pursue throughout their lives.

Kratos listened to them discussing some non-nutritious topics, and suddenly became curious about the world.

He took the cigarette made by Marty and took a puff like them, feeling a strange and pleasant feeling coming from his body.

Throughout his life, from a soldier to a general, and finally to the God of War, he had always held himself to the most stringent standards and rarely relaxed.

Today's pleasant journey actually made me feel guilty for being lazy.

Anyway, the mission goal is to go on an outing in the wild and relax for a while.

Kratos stretched out in his seat, took the beer from Jules, and began to enjoy the ride.

The RV drove alone on the road, passed a dilapidated gas station, passed through the tunnel next to the canyon, and finally came to a cabin surrounded by forest.

The hut is a wooden structure with only one floor. It is in disrepair and seems likely to collapse at any time.

Kratos only glanced at it and noticed something strange under the hut, but without knowing the target of the subsequent mission, he chose not to say anything.

Dana showed a worried expression and said, "I'll go in and check first."

Jules: "For the record, if there are spiders, I will sleep in the car."

Kurt smiled and wanted to put Jules into his arms, but the latter made excuses to avoid it.

Marty realized what had happened, shook his head, and moved the luggage with everyone.

Kratos followed everyone into the house, and the floor made a heavy "squeak" sound.

The room was very dark, with simple furniture such as a fireplace, tables and chairs, and a wolf head hanging on the wall, which looked quite ferocious.

An interesting thought came to his mind. If he hung up the heads of all the monsters he had hunted in his life, the palace in Olympus would probably not be enough.

After entering his single room, Kratos threw his luggage on the bed and looked around the room.

There is a strange painting hanging on the wall, which is a picture of a group of crazy humans and evil wolves eating sheep together.

He didn't want the painting to ruin his good mood, so he picked it up and put it aside.

But unexpectedly, he discovered that there was a glass behind the painting, and on the opposite side was Dana arranging her hair, as if she couldn't see Kratos.

Mimir reminded: "This is one-way perspective glass. From our side it looks like ordinary glass, but from the opposite side it looks like a mirror."

Dana, who was opposite her, began to unbutton her shirt one by one, revealing her beautiful figure.

Kratos sat on the bed, admiring this moving picture generously.

Mimir suddenly said: "I'm not criticizing your behavior, I just have an uncomfortable feeling, as if we are also being watched."

Kratos used his consciousness and found a strange device installed on the wall behind him. He took out a bottle of water from his bag and smashed the device.

The unpleasant feeling of being watched also disappeared.

He took out some more food and drinks and continued to admire the scenery on the other side.

…

In a secret underground base, there is a room full of high-tech, equipped with many consoles and buttons with unknown functions.

There are several screens on the walls that allow you to see surveillance footage from inside and around the cabin in the woods. The scene where Kratos was originally monitored is now just snowflakes.

At this time, the people in the room were in a mess, like ants on a hot pot.

An older man with glasses and almost hair loss named Xissent said in a panic: "He found the surveillance camera? How is this possible?"

A middle-aged man with sunken eye sockets and a receding hairline named Hadley tried to calmly say: "The situation is not that bad. Maybe he thought the camera was installed by the original owner of the house."

Hadley pressed the button on the console again and issued instructions to other departments:"Alarm four, alarm four, Kratos found the security camera in his house."

"Engineering Department, give me a new monitoring plan."

"All surveillance personnel, pay close attention to Kratos' communication behavior with other people."

"Behavior Analysis Department, screen Kratos' history again, analyze his possible actions after discovering the camera, and make a response plan for every action that endangers the plan."

"Explosives Department, be prepared to blow up the tunnel at any time. We must not let them leave here."

A researcher in a white coat and pigtails, known as Miss Lin, walked in hurriedly and said anxiously: "Something serious has happened. Jules and Kurt are going to sleep in separate rooms."

Hadley hurriedly looked at the surveillance screen. The conversation between the two escalated to an argument, and finally broke up.

Xissent: "What happened? A young couple quarreling?"

Ms. Lin: "I looked back at the previous surveillance footage, and Jules has been looking at Kratos intentionally or unintentionally. I am a woman, believe me, she has moved on."

Xissent: "Hell, Jules has to have sex with a man tonight, any man."

Hadley issued instructions to other departments:

"Behavioral Analysis Department, search Kratos' past relationship history, analyze the probability of him and Jules having an intimate relationship tonight, and give me ten plans to improve the probability."

Xissent looked crazy: "Why did Jules change like this?"

Ms. Lin: "The Chemistry Department may be responsible for this accident. They added something to reduce cognition in Jules' hair dye. Of course, their original intention was to increase the chances of Jules having a relationship with Kurt."

Xissent: "I know I can't trust the Chemistry Department. The last accident was also caused by the Chemistry Department."

Seeing Miss Lin hesitate to speak, Hadley asked, "What else happened?"

Ms. Lin: "The detective responsible for monitoring them in the small town was found dead on the roof, with a stone piercing his forehead. We don't yet know who the murderer is."

Hadley rubbed his face with both hands and said: "There have been three accidents in a row. I will raise the alert level to level three and cancel tonight's gambling session. Everyone must be at 120 points."

"We must sacrifice them tonight to appease the ancient evil gods."
