LVPD。

Fifth Group Office.

Dean pushed the door in, and Carl, Kruger, Holden, Moore, and Chad turned their bright eyes, "Man, how's it going?" ”

Dean sat down at the conference table and fanned the pungent cigarette smoke in front of him, "The same question, the process of the crime, the traces of the scene... I have strictly unified the tone with everyone. ”

"Very well, it shouldn't be a big problem now."

Carl looked around at his companions with worried expressions and dark circles under his eyes, and snuffed out the cigarette butts in the ashtray.

"Guys, we don't want to be forced to take a leave of absence and lose our jobs, we have to rationalize and stop dwelling on it. Next, the bureau will continue to talk to you, and it will all be pushed on me, and I will deal with it. However, there is a high probability that the above will be treated coldly and the case will be closed quickly. ”

……

"The bureau's review is resolved, and now there are no outsiders, Dean, to give everyone a real explanation." Holden leaned his ass against the table, his hands around his chest, and asked like a machine gun, "Why did Jack, a big man, become Abby?" ”

"What did she go through to lie in the hospital unconscious like a vegetative person, but all the tests were normal."

Dean glanced at the curious faces and shook his head,

"I can't explain it, I have to say, whether it's Jack or Abby, it's not a person, it's some kind of powerful, shape-shifting monster."

Things have developed to this point, no matter how carefully he weaves lies, he can't fool them, so he simply tells the truth.

After speaking, he held his breath and prepared to meet the questioning of the head and face, but only waited for a silence, and everyone hung their faces, their brows were deeply locked, and they were thoughtful.

The truth seems to be within reach, and it seems to be separated by a mountain that cannot be climbed.

"What's going on with Jack's screaming at that time?" A deep fear appeared on Kruger's ailing face, "It was as if a switch had been flipped in my brain, and memories of decades ago came flooding back, and my sister who had died a long time ago reappeared in front of me. ”

"Seven or eight years old, dressed in a white hospital gown, thin as a doll, holding me and crying, begging me to save her. But I am not God, how can I raise a dead man? I've been having this nightmare for the past two days. ”

"That voice reminds me of a conversation with the most brutal murderer in St. Quentin, oh no, it's worse than that," Holden nodded with palpitations, "I've never been so disgusted, so sad, so uncomfortable that I want to kill myself." ”

"To correct a mistake, you don't just 'think,'" Carl shook his head, "you would have put the gun to your head at the time, and if Dean hadn't stopped you, you would have gone to God." ”

"It's definitely not hypnosis."

Karl rubbed his flushed face and added,

"Fako! Even I was tricked unconsciously, and after entering the botanical garden, I fell asleep inexplicably, and when I woke up, I seemed to have forgotten something. All of this can perhaps only be explained by the supernatural. ”

Dean smiled,

"You guys, the most evidence-minded police officers, are willing to believe unscientific explanations?"

"Anyone who has been through a funeral is going to change." Holden stared out the window, his handsome face tense, and even the puffy dark circles under his eyes revealed confusion,

"In the past two days, I began to reflect deeply on the fact that the things I once thought were superstitious may be true, but I have never been willing to believe them because of the education I received in the past, the inherent thinking in my mind, and the deep-rooted prejudices of the people around me."

Carl looked at his colleagues with deep empathy,

"Maybe both demons and angels exist... Guys, go around church together on the weekends, talk to the pastor, exorcise demons? Maybe you'll get a good night's sleep? ”

"Listen to you, boss."

Several police officers nodded in unison, and then turned their curious eyes to Dean for further answers.

"I'm sorry, guys, I don't understand it myself, I can't explain it, but I've seen it."

Dean got up and circled around the group, tapping their shoulders in turn.

"Everything in the world is far beyond imagination, and there are countless unsolved mysteries among them: the Loch Ness Monster, the Bermuda Triangle, the pyramids, UFOs, some of which have been born for hundreds of years, and are still inconclusive."

"But do they affect our daily lives?"

Dean glanced at the faces of these seasoned police officers one by one, and shook his head,

"No, it doesn't affect. Now that the case is over, what we should really be concerned about is that the real murderer of Bucky Fran has been caught, and Abby, who has suffered a lot of humiliation, will be released from prison today. ”

"As for whether the murderer is a human or a monster, it's not up to us, it's the people above who should be worried."

"Everyone have a good rest, go back to relax with the family, and forget about this case completely."

In addition to Holden, who participated in the whole process, Carl and Kruger all had a trace of confusion in their eyes, from beginning to end they were like marionettes, and after a few simple runs, they solved a big case.

"By the way, you haven't slept in the past few days, have you? Jack's screams at that time have already had a serious psychological impact on you, so go see a psychiatrist, I don't want to hear about your suicide one day in the future. ”

"Boy, we're not that vulnerable!" Kruger blushed and yelled at him,

"Shut up, who was crying and saying that he wasn't God? Tomorrow you have to give me honest counseling! Karl glared at him, then at Dean again, "You can rest for two days too..."

"I'm afraid I'll have to rest longer," Dean said bluntly, "I'm a little tired." ”

Throughout the case, he felt that it took more effort to convince the police officers than to investigate the case itself.

In addition, he is also worried that continuing to obtain cases from LVPD at a high frequency will induce unpredictable risks and once again pull this group of ordinary people into dangerous supernatural events.

"For the next two months, until '81, I would take a break from volunteering, and I would have to work hard to get my high school diploma."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and everyone was stunned, not expecting that the most diligent volunteer in the history of LVPD would suddenly have to take a long vacation.

Karl chuckled and held out his hand to him.

"I almost forgot that you were a high school student. So be it, but don't make everyone wait too long, it's really not used to it without your help. ”

"Hmm." Dean slapped him lightly, and then turned to Holden, who looked unwilling and longing, "Man, when I regain some energy, I will take the initiative to contact you." ”

……

After leaving LVPD, Dean drove to the parking lot outside the detention center in Vegas.

Friends arrived earlier, gathering around a Lincoln, chattering and bumping around Abby, who had just come out of the detention center.

Abby's parents and barrister Lukeville also stood by with beaming faces.

"Here, Dean! It's so late, everyone is waiting for you! ”

Rust beckoned to him excitedly, bouncing up and down like an orangutan eating a chili pepper.

Dean and Rust slapped their hands, and their eyes swept over the tomboy opposite, dressed in a brand-new green dress, his hair had grown a little longer, his body was thin and slender, and his chin was pointed, but he was in good spirits, and the pimples on his face disappeared unconsciously.

Now Abby actually looks a little girlish, but her breasts are still mediocre.

Abby looked at him quietly, her eyes sparkling, and her thin face flashed with hesitation, nervousness, joy, and a desire to speak, as if some kind of emotion was brewing.

"Haha, our family's great benefactor is here!" Abby's father, the middle-aged handsome man Batista, suddenly shouted, and his hands firmly grasped Dean's left hand,

"How can we thank you?" With tears in her eyes, Ms. Raj hugged Dean from behind and let him enjoy the warmth and majesty of a mature woman, "What do you want?" ”

Dean was shocked by this enthusiasm, but he was unconsciously infected, and his mood became lighter, and even the lingering sadness in his chest a few days ago was greatly alleviated.

He suddenly understood what Tame meant—positive emotions can resist and alleviate negative emotions.

Dean quietly broke free from the woman's arms and looked around at the faces that were flushed with excitement,

"It's not my credit, it's everyone's joint effort, I'm just helping."

"To be overly modest is to be hypocritical."

The barrister stretched out his chubby palm and shook it with Dean,

"We're helpless under all the strong evidence of the district attorney, and if you hadn't personally taken that almost non-existent prisoner to the police station and completely turned the case around, then Abby's life would definitely be over."

The barrister raised his voice and patted Dean on the shoulder,

"You've stepped up again, just like Lake Mead, you made the impossible possible, you saved a family, you did a miracle."

As soon as the lawyer said this, Abby finally mustered up the courage to step forward with open hands, and looked up at him, her eyes flashing with admiration and gratitude, and a faint flush appeared on her face,

"Congratulations, Abby, get through this difficult time, and your future life will be smooth."

Dean hugged her, patted her on the back, and changed the subject,

"So Lawyer Lycville, the trouble is over?"

The fat man nodded and sighed, "Our Abby has a certificate from Batista and Raj, as well as from the family doctor. ”

The other Abby, with no evidence, fell into a coma and couldn't argue with it. The prosecutor's office, the courthouse, and the police department are all ready to cut through the mess and convict her of first-degree murder as an explanation to Bucky Fran's parents. ”

"Then again, if it weren't for Raj and Batista's vehemently denial, I would have suspected that the killer was Abby's twin sister.

Hearing this, Dean looked at the large prompt flashing in front of him and grinned.

Although the process was tortuous, the results were not bad.

The only regret is that he can't save another innocent person who is still being held in San Quentin, David Lee.

……

"Dean, we bought a lot of stuff and are going to have a big barbecue party today to clean up the dust for Abby." Batista looked at him with a smile, the look in which Dean was familiar, just like Thomas looked at him, "Everyone go, you too!" ”

“OK。”

"Let's go, everyone!"

Rastra grabbed Britney's hand and rushed to Ford with a shout.

Dean sat down in his own Bronco, and Gretchen subconsciously followed.

"Gretchen, you come and drive, I want to take a nap."

"Hmm."

Dean sat in the co-pilot and sank into the system:

The event demon or the innocent progress is 100%, and the event is completed.

Through your imagination and a bit of luck, you solve the mystery of disguise and clear the name of innocent Abby.

You took a huge risk to kill the Eater of the Dead and bring justice, and it turns out that even fairytale beings cannot harm your companions in front of you!

Depending on the outcome of the event, a special reward has been formed and you can withdraw it at any time.

Extract.

You gain 120 experience.

Individual Rank Lv2 (60/300) → (180/300)

You can choose one of the following four special rewards –

A. Superpower - Tide of Tears: Draw power from the negative emotions of others' sadness, pain and despair, store it in the body, detonate it when used, and exert a mental impact on a target within a certain range, and the affected person will undergo a will test.

No less than 20 points, immune to this mental shock

Not less than 15 points, slightly shocked, in a trance, difficult to concentrate.

No less than 10 o'clock, with a moderate shock, the unbearable past will be re-presented in front of you, causing you to have visual and auditory hallucinations, insomnia, emotional out-of-control, and indulge in sadness.

Below 10 points, the victim will fall into grief on the spot, and will do self-harm and hurt others, and the negative impact will last for at least a month.

Note: This ability requires at least 15 Spirit.

Boost this ability and your spirit will be boosted slightly.

……

B-ultrasound ability - mimic: obtain the target's blood, according to the blood sample, transform its own appearance and DNA, except for the soul, from the inside to the outside will be transformed into the selected target.

After transformation, you cannot have any memories and abilities of the target, and the attributes are biased towards the ontological attributes.

Initial Level:

The deformed state lasts for up to 48 hours, but if the body dies while deformed, the corpse will not recover

A 24-hour metamorphosis preparation period is required to analyze the blood

There is a seven-day cooling recovery period after the deformation ends

Anthropomorphic targets are limited to humans

Note: To select this ability, it will take a certain amount of time to solidify and activate.

Increasing this ability will give you a small increase in physique.

……

C Super Power - Mark: Mark the chosen one, you can sense the state and location of the target at any time, and can remotely manipulate the target to fall into a state of lethargy, fever, and pain and loss of resistance.

For the initial level, the tag can only exist at a time and lasts for up to one month.

Note: Markers cannot be expelled by ordinary means.

Increasing this ability will increase your Perception by a small amount.

……

D: Increases physical stat by 1 point.

……

Wow...

The corners of Dean's mouth curled with excitement, and he closed his eyes and wrapped his hands around the back of his head to lie down more relaxedly.

In one event, there are three superpower rewards, all from the Eater of Evil.

It is worthy of being a legendary species, and it is not in vain that it took him so long and almost got a headshot.

Choose one of four.

Dean first eliminated option D, which lacked growth.

Attributes can be improved through other skills, and superpowers may not have a chance to miss this time

A was then excluded.

The power of this ability is undeniable, and twice it has left Dean unrelenting to the Eater of the Dead.

But Dean subconsciously rejects this ability, and if he can draw strength from human grief and pain, does that mean to abuse others to become strong?

There is no distinction between good and evil, but in the supernatural world, having a tide of tears greatly increases the risk of getting out of control, and Dean fears that one day he will become another unscrupulous sleeper.

In addition, his mental attribute is less than 15, and he can't use this ability for the time being.

Pain tolerance excludes A.

Dean didn't struggle between B and C for too long, and the marker was certainly a hunt weapon, but the mimetic was much more powerful and comprehensive.

Changing one's own form at the DNA level is equivalent to a thousand-faced person who comes and goes without a trace in the current science-based society.

After changing the form, it is as convenient as chasing and killing, escaping, and reconnoitring as if you were dressing and eating.

The only pity is that the curing ability takes a certain amount of time, so you can't try it right away.

"It's up to you."

"Pick B, OK."

In the next second, Dean seemed to have drunk a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee, and there were some subtle changes in his body, but he couldn't say it if he experienced it carefully.

At the same time, 4/5 in the ability bar becomes 5/5.

Added one new item - mimetic lv0 (Countdown to cure: 20 days)

"Well, 20 days is faster than I expected, and I will be able to activate the new ability by November."

"But before you know it, the ability bar is full, does this mean that you can't get new superpowers in the future?"

Di An's head tightened, and then he thought about it and suddenly realized,

"There's definitely some sort of channel augmentation capability column."

"I don't need to worry, after all, I can't chew too much, my past shadow, mimics, meditation and other abilities have just started, and I am far from untapping the huge potential."

"It's better to fully develop, strengthen, and use them than to keep acquiring new abilities that you can't use."
