For the sake of safety, Jasper Milton drove over on his own.


    Apart from Ste Grace, he only brought with him an attendant named Jimmy Fellow.


    Tavers Vige was much farther than Ste had expected.


    Jasper didn’t ask her to help with driving, but let her sleep at the back seat instead.


    He alternated driving with Jimmy and they drove for twelve hours before entering the mountain road. Unfortunately, the car was not able to drive in at all.


    The navigation system had disconnected, and even their phones had no signal.


    Jasper stopped the car. Looking at the endless mountains around him, he frowned.


    “Didn’t he say that the roads have all been developed? Is State Mayor Cher not doing anything?” Jasper was very angry.


    Jimmy kept his head down and did not speak.


    Ste got out of the car and walked to Jasper’s side. She held his hand and said, “This ismonce. A year ago, our hospital organized a medical test campaign for these poor rural vigers, and we were told that there was a road leading there. When the doctors went there, there was no road and not even electricity.”


    Hearing Ste’s soft voice, Jasper’s temper, which was about to erupt, was slightly appeased.


    He didn’t want to get angry in front of her. “As we are from the military, we can’t oversee civil affairs.”


    “Yes, we are only human.” Ste smiled slightly.


    Jasper’s eyes softened and he said to Jimmy, “Tavers Vige is under the Zes Town jurisdiction, right? Let’s go to the town first and find a guide. Then we cane over.”


    “Yes.” Jimmy drove back to the town.


    “I have a suggestion. It’s getting toote today. Do you want to stay in town and enquire more from the people in the town today? Perhaps we can get more clues.” Ste said.


    “Okay.” Jasper agreed.


    After driving for half an hour, they returned to the town. Ste and Jasper checked into a hotel using fake ID cards.


    Jimmy had his own room on his own.


    After checking in, they ate in a small restaurant next to the hotel.


    Thedy boss of the restaurant was very friendly and weing.


    “Madam, I want to ask you something about Tavers Vige.” Ste asked gently.


    As soon as thedy boss heard the name “Tavers Vige”, her smile froze. She looked out the restaurant and said in a low voice, “Miss, you must not be from here. We don’t casually mention the words Tavers Vige here.”


    “Why?” Ste was puzzled.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Five years ago, all 108 residents from Tavers Vige disappeared one night. Since then, the ce has been haunted. Some people have seen ghosts wandering around at night. They were flying around. It’s terrible.” Thedy said.


    Jasper nced at thedy indifferently.


    He didn’t believe in ghosts at all.


    “Do you know why they disappeared?” Jasper asked in a deep voice.


    “The rumor has been that they were eaten by ghosts. We no longer dare to go to that ce.” Thedy shivered and didn’t want to say more. She turned around and went into the kitchen.


    “Jimmy!” Jasper shouted.


    Jimmy looked at Jasper and listened attentively.


    “Tomorrow, go to the Zes administration and find out how many people are in Tavers Vige. Check if there are people studying or working out of town, who are originally from Tavers,” Jasper ordered.


    “Okay.” Jimmy replied.


    “I think it looks very suspicious. What do you think?” Jasper asked Ste.


    “I don’t think those are ghosts! I think that there are still people in that vige, so some people would think of them as the so-called ghosts. This time, I suggest that we don’t use a tour guide. Let’s look at the map and sneak in there.” Ste suggested.


    “Jimmy, you don’t have to go with us tomorrow. Just investigate the poption details tonight. Grab a map and don’t rm anyone.” Jasper ordered again.


    “Yes.”


    After the meal, Jasper and Ste strolled around the area, they were nning to buy some fruits and enquire more information along the way.


    The roads in Zes Town were in bad condition, there were a lot of potholes, but there was no one to fix it.


    People there seemed to rest early, almost all of the shops were closed in the evening. There were street vendors.


    There were no street lights even in the town roads, let alone in the countryside.


    Ste saw that there was a fruit stall on the opposite side of the road, they had just restocked and the owners were arranging their goods.


    She quickly walked over, stepped into a pothole, and was stuck for a moment.


    Jasper immediately grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. He asked worriedly, “You didn’t twist your ankle, did you?”


    “No, Jasper, when did they build the roads here?” Ste asked.


    “I don’t know. I’ll ask someone to check it out.”


    “Let’s ask the locals.” Ste took his hand and went to the fruit stall.


    Jasper’s eyes dimmed slightly.


    He followed Ste to the fruit stall.


    She picked out a lot of fruits.


    She asked casually, “Boss, when did they build the roads here?”


    “The roads? Ten years ago I think.” The boss said.


    “Ten years ago? The road is seriously damaged. If it is not because of bad workmanship, then there should be heavy trucksing and going for a long time, is that so?” Ste peeled an orange, ate a piece, snapped half of it, and handed the half to Jasper.


    She gave him a strange look.


    He frowned slightly.


    He hated eating oranges because they were sour.


    But it was Ste who gave it to him.


    He tore off a piece and threw it into his mouth. After chewing it for a while, he swallowed it.


    Although he just chewed it, he cringed at the acidity. It was giving him a stomachache already.


    He stopped eating and held the half of the orange in his hand.


    Ste looked at him again and smiled slightly.


    He had an impulse to kiss her.


    She was giving him such sour food on purpose.


    Jasper endured the sensation.


    The boss exined, “There’s a cement nt in the next town, and the trucks pass by here from time to time.”


    “Oh, I see, I heard that the strange Tavers Vige is also part of your town, isn’t it?” Ste said.


    The boss’s face darkened a little. “That ce is haunted and people disappear for no reason. It’s terrible.”


    “There’s been some hot news recently. The news says that those citizensmitted suicide because of illness. It also said that the previous mayor buried those people and someone gave him tens of millions in gold.” Ste said with a smile.


    “Forget it, that’s nonsense. We don’t believe it. Let me tell you, the authorities said that all 108 residentsmitted suicide and the ce was sealed off. In fact…” The boss looked to the right and then to the left and said, “I have a friend, who is from Tavers Vige. He didn’t die at all. He’s alive and well.”


    Ste and Jasper looked at each other.


    “Could you tell me your friend’s address now?” Ste asked.


    The boss looked at them warily. “That’s not a good idea.”


    Jasper took out a thousand dors from his wallet and handed it to the boss.


    The boss then gave his friend’s address happily.


    Ste was rendered speechless, “…”


    In the evening.


    Lying on the hotel bed, Ste and Jasper couldn’t fall asleep.


    Ste was thinking about the whole case over and over again.


    Suddenly, Jasper came over her.


    “What’s wrong?” Ste asked in a hoarse voice.


    “Let’s do something.” Jasper kissed her on the lips.


    “Condoms.” Ste went to the small box on the bedside table.


    Jasper didn’t like to use condoms, so he grabbed it from her hand and threw it on the bedside table…
