A crazy night passed.

Early in the morning, Dean pushed away his arms and thighs, ordered a breakfast, put down a note, and left the hotel early.

When he got home, he took advantage of the fact that Rust had not yet returned, arranged the psychic suit, closed the curtains, and made the bedroom space dark and quiet.

Summoning the Ghost Armor, the spiritual power merges into the board, locking the most powerful ghost among them.

The blue curtain was windless, and a cold wind blew out of the board and fell in front of Dean.

He looked through the glass of the slab and saw a ghostly glow floating in the air, slender and sweet-looking, it was Clayty, the telekinetic powerhouse who had died not long ago.

But she is different from the ghost that Dean used to imprison, her facial features are not as dull as a puppet, but as vivid as a real person.

"Where am I?" Clayty actually spoke, her voice fluttering,

"Have you forgotten, you're dead."

"And what am I now?"

Cleaty was stunned for a moment, and her pale blue face immediately became sharp, her hands parted, and the invisible power gathered.

The wind swept up the bed blanket and the books on the shelves, and swirled in the air.

But in the next second, the muzzle of blood and soul was aimed at her illusory and hazy face, and a great horror froze her body.

"If you don't want to be in the dust, don't move." Dean held a gun in one hand and a board in the other, "Listen, as long as you answer my questions honestly, I can consider letting you go." ”

The female ghost stared at him for ten seconds, and said in a tangled way.

"Vance, Dona, Miller, Bradley?"

"I kept my promise to cremate them with you, as for their souls." Dean said word for word, "I'm still here, and if you're obedient, maybe I'll be merciful enough to let them join you." ”

Clay said dejectedly,

"I admit that this operation was a complete mistake, and we shouldn't have provoked you,"

"But we obviously searched your body, how on earth did you take out the grenade, manipulate and imprison the soul? How many superpowers do you have? ”

"I ask you, do you understand?"

A hint of helplessness appeared on Claitie's translucent cheeks. Gritted his teeth and nodded,

"Great, now I have a lot of time, tell me about your team's growth from the beginning... I'm interested. ”

Cletti turned to stare at the empty wall, hesitated for a few seconds, and began to speak, "I, Vance, Dona, and Miller all come from an orphanage in the backcountry of Indiana. ”

"Your parents?"

"I left them when I was three or four years old, and I can't even remember what they looked like or what their names were...," Cletty said of her parents, "My first memory is of living with hundreds of companions in an orphanage for more than ten years. ”

"That place is hell!"

"The managers bully the orphans at will, and the orphans are also divided into three, six, nine, etc., and those who know how to flatter the dean and the administrator have become doglegs, helping them beat and scold their peers together, and the friends of the dogs have become second-class people, and they are not short of clothes and food, and those who are introverted and shy like me and weak are at the bottom, and anyone can beat me, insult me, and steal my food..."

"So, your telekinesis wasn't awakened at birth?"

"If that were the case, I wouldn't have to suffer so much, and I would have killed all those demons a long time ago." Cleaty clenched her fists, anger causing her translucent body to ripple like water, "That disgusting dean who was as fat as a pig, a cook with a tummy face, a hunched cleaner, every once in a while would bring a poor child into the office, and when they were released, they would be tortured to the point of being inhuman, and some would even die outright. ”

"They also threatened to intimidate other children that anyone who showed the slightest hint of a leak would disappear the next day."

Dean raised an eyebrow,

"Nobody cares?"

"Who's in charge?" Clyty smiled, her smile full of intense sarcasm, like a living person.

"Our group of orphans are extra scum in society, only one in a hundred lucky people will be adopted by well-wishers for a large sum of money, and the rest will continue to suffer in hell!"

"At that time, my deepest memory is endless abuse and beatings, and hunger, so hungry that I couldn't sleep, and I could only bite the rusty hose and swallow a lot of cold water every day to soothe the stomach acid tumbling in my stomach."

"I was hungry and tired, weak, miserable, scared, I had nightmares every day, and I sometimes wanted to die."

Her angry tone turned, and her sharp eyes became extremely gentle,

"It wasn't until I was eight years old that Vance entered the orphanage, he was two years older than me, physically stronger than other children of the same age, he looked very intimidating, and he was very nice to me."

She smiled,

"He took the initiative to protect me, bear all kinds of malice for me, chat and play with me, just like my relatives."

"I wasn't used to it at first, until one time when the dean was going to force me into the office, Vance was only ten years old at the time, and he couldn't stop an adult and couldn't bear to see me being bullied."

Clety paused in her tone, covered her mouth and choked up, but the ghost had no tears, "He went into the office in my place, and when he came back, he was covered in wounds, bleeding a lot, and lay in bed for three whole days, and since then, I know that I will never leave this man for the rest of my life." ”

There was a long silence in the bedroom.

Di Anxin sighed, compared to the beginning of the death of his parents, the beginning of this superpowered person is hellish difficulty,

……

"Later, Donna's eldest sister, Miller, entered the orphanage one after another, and we had a similar temperament, and soon became inseparable friends. When I was fifteen years old, everyone was almost physically mature and secretly escaped from the orphanage one night. ”

"Didn't you set a fire to the orphanage before you ran away? Burn down that sinful place? Dean asked dissatisfiedly, saying that he would kill at least a few dozen people before he left.

"That was later."

Cleaty shook her head,

"In order to make a living, we worked part-time jobs, begging, and stealing all over the country, and our days were hard but free, and we were far happier than in the orphanage.

"One year, we spent the night on a park chair in New York and ended up being besieged by four homeless men... One of them pulled out a knife and held Vance by the neck. ”

"I'm afraid of losing him, and I'm going to save him, even if it's death." Claitie's tone became rapid, her eyes staring straight into the void, "I've never wanted something so much, the desire is so strong that it makes me dizzy... Then, a miracle happened, my brain exploded, my nose bleeded, and a powerful force rushed out, hitting the homeless man with a knife who was threatening Vance, directly knocking him into a big tree and breaking his neck! ”

That's the power of emotion.

Strong emotions are the key to unlocking the power of thought, and it is also a power amplifier.

Di's head is in mind.

"Your telekinesis is so powerful when you wake up?"

"No... After the first outbreak in the park, the telekinesis returned to its normal level, and it could only barely move a little heavy objects such as boxes and mattresses. ”

"But the more I used it, the more skilled and powerful it became, and I gradually lifted a small car, and also discovered other functions, such as opening door locks, safes, telekinesis, creating a barrier against bullets..."

"With these superpowers, making money is a breeze for me, well, I 'take money' directly from the villas of the rich, take it once and change places, the cops can't catch us at all."

"Did you kill anyone?" Dean asked,

"I've killed a lot." "Shortly after the awakening, we returned to the orphanage, killed all the staff, and burned it down. ”

"Well done."

"But we didn't affect ordinary people and civilians."

Although this group of people shamelessly attacked them, they were still a bit of a bottom, and they didn't make a move on Gretchen and Rust.

Otherwise, Dean would have turned them into ashes.

"After burning down the orphanage, the four of us drove around the country and lived a carefree life for two years. In the third year of awakening telekinesis, we were hypnotized in Ohio by an instantaneous hypnotic person who could use his eyes... And superpowered criminals who are proficient in stealth and combat shooting are targeted. ”

"He silently infiltrated the house we lived in, took control of the three Vance, and threatened me with restraint." ”

"At this moment, Bradley suddenly appeared and teamed up with me to kill the hypnotic freak and defuse the crisis."

"And tell us that the hypnotist has caused more than a dozen bloody crimes in Ohio, and that he is a real madman and pervert by killing and abusing for fun."

"Bradley has been investigating him, and after getting rid of him, he invited us and told me a reason."

"Most psychiatric superpowers have mental illness and are extremely dangerous, so instead of being attacked by them, it is better to strike first and catch them and sell them to the company for some living expenses."

"We hit it off with Bradley, he was a good teacher, he taught us first aid, firearms and tactics and made the team professional."

"Then he used his FBI identity to investigate strange mysteries all over the country, and once he found supernatural traces, he contacted us to cooperate in the arrest."

"How many arrests have you made before me?" Dean knocked his fingers upside down on the floor,

"We've been working with Bradley for fifteen years, and we've done five operations and caught five superpowers... Until I meet you. ”

Dean was a little surprised to hear this, relying on the FBI's information channels, it would take them three years to find a stranger.

The frequency is low.

"And what are their abilities?"

"Two telekinesis, the strength of telekinesis is far inferior to mine."

Dean was headed, and as he had speculated, telekinesis was not uncommon, but it was capped.

"A poisoner with poison in his body fluids."

"How poisonous?"

"One drop of his saliva can kill a strong adult,"

"But his body is still an ordinary person, and he was tied up by us and put on a diving suit and a helmet."

"And then a flesh type enhancer."

"How intensive?"

"Invulnerability, conventional pistols and rifles, even sniper rifles can't pierce his skin, and his strength is several times that of ordinary people, but his reaction and speed are in the normal range." "I suffocated him with my telekinesis, and then locked him in that iron coffin. ”

Dean rolled his eyes, these people also regarded themselves as flesh enhancement types at the beginning.

"The last one is a mind reader, on the day we carried out the arrest, he read Dona's mind and almost managed to escape, but his physical fitness and IQ were too ordinary to take the chance."

……

Dean also details the details of the capture of the five Abilities, allowing him to get a glimpse into the strengths and weaknesses of each ability.

……

"How did Bradley's old fox find out about these five Adepts? Where did they show their flaws? ”

Clayty looked at him with complicated eyes and said the wise saying,

"They made exactly the same mistake as you, stayed in the same place for too long, and committed multiple cases in a row."

"Superpowers want to live uneventful, they can't stay in any one place for more than a year, and they want to keep a low profile as much as possible, especially not to attract the attention of the media, the police, and the public."

Dean laughed at himself when he listened, he thought that a seamless case was full of flaws in the eyes of those who care.

"To whom are you selling the kidnapped goods?"

"The company, a very mysterious experimental institution."

"What kind of projects do you run?"

"I don't know, our relationship with the company is limited to cash for delivery, and we never ask a word. In addition, Bradley is responsible for liaison. ”

Dean nodded,

"And how much did the five Adepts sell for in total?"

"An average of more than 4 million is worth more than 25 million, and you alone can withstand all of them."

Dean was a little funny,

"So I'm so valuable. But it took you fifteen years to divide more than 4 million yuan per person, so can you afford to make such a small amount of money? ”

Cletti nodded approvingly, "What we do is dance on the tip of a knife, and we can encounter accidents at any time, so we used to have fun in time, and the money was basically spent when we got it." ”

"No need to explain, I'm not interested in your deposits," Dean wasn't sure if he would be targeted by the company behind him if he touched the money, he was more concerned about another issue,

"Did you disclose the process of this operation, including my identity information, to the company?"

Cleaty stared at him for five seconds, pursed her lips, and shook her head,

"How could we possibly reveal information about the mission objectives without getting the money? What if one loses money? ”

Di An'an breathed a long sigh of relief, if the company knew his details, then he would have to give up his current legal identity and die in the world.

"Apart from you, are there any other teams of bounty hunters hunting down the Adepts for the company?"

"I haven't seen it, but I want to... There is a high probability that they exist. ”

Dean continued to ask about the company, but Cletti couldn't say anything more, so he changed the subject,

"How many years have you awakened your mental power until now?"

"About eighteen years."

"Have you seen the Law of Convergence during this time?"

Clayty lowered her head for a moment, "You mean that there are supernatural events every once in a while?" ”

"Hmm."

"Impressed." Clayty sighed, her eyes flickering, "I've awakened to the present, and I've encountered a total of three supernatural events... Almost six years apart each time... Every time, it was in danger and almost killed me. ”

Dean couldn't help but admire after hearing this, "Only three supernatural events have occurred in eighteen years? ”

It's not as much as he's been in the past year.

Is fate so favored by Clytie?

"Three paranormal events are far more dangerous and without warning than the capture of the Anomalous." There was a vivid fear on Clytie's face, obviously a ghost, but her tone trembled,

"What's the law without warning?"

"One night when I was twenty-one years old, I was sleeping in bed when I suddenly felt something strange in my thighs, as if something was pulling me. As soon as I woke up, I saw a humanoid creature standing in my shadow and pulling my thigh..."

It had a big round head like an alien and a bulging eyeball, and its whole face had no mouth, nose or ears, only the big eyes of a large volleyball, and its skin was gray and rough with fine scales. It was pulling me in with its slender limbs, and my telekinesis was ineffective against it, as if it had absorbed it. ”

"You're not kidding?" Dean was horrified when he heard this,

"What do I have in mind to joke?" Clayty shook her head with apprehension as she recalled the scene, "If Vance hadn't turned on the lights in time, the monster would have pulled me into the shadows." ”

"How do you fix it?"

"We arranged a high-power electric light in the bedroom for 360 degrees, and it shone for half a month, and there was no shadow, and the monster disappeared."

"Dead?"

"I don't know, anyway, it never appeared again."

……

Dean was silent.

This so-called monster is beyond the realm of common sense, and it makes him feel like he has nowhere to go.

……

"The remaining two incidents?"

Claity recounts in detail how she fell into a cave in the Alabachian Mountains to fight mutated monsters, and in an abandoned house, she was consigned by a cultist summoning a monster from another dimension, and then lost both.

Dean listened to the whole person badly.

Most of the events he had experienced in the past had not been directed at him, and the danger was far less bizarre than the three times Clytie had encountered.

"I've had enough, the Law of Convergence is like a curse that gets around me wherever I am. It may be late, but it will never be absent. Klety suddenly grinned with relief, "Even if you don't kill me, the next time the Convergence Law strikes, I'm probably in a catastrophe." ”

"It's not a relief to die early."

Dean's face was as gloomy as he listened.

The Stranger of this world is not your average unlucky person, threatened by corporate organizations, ill-intentioned kinds, and other strange supernatural things, and beware of becoming insane yourself.

It is no wonder that the ancestors of the Van Hersin family have completely transformed their descendants into ordinary people in order to continue the bloodline.

Speaking of mental disorders –

"Clyty, did you ever feel something was wrong with your mental state before?"

"Hmm. It's a side effect of mental motivation, I'm often emotional, moody... I had nightmares all night, and during the day I was caught up in all sorts of horrific auditory and visual hallucinations for no apparent reason, and the most thrilling of times, I almost killed Vance by mistake. ”

"And how did you get through it?"

"Thanks to my companions," said Claytie, "they have been with me and comforted me... Got me through the period of insanity and I feel like their care healed me. ”

"But that's not enough, I set aside two days a month to put myself in that coffin, lock myself in the basement, and then awaken negative memories through meditation, and actively stimulate and consume the accumulated negative emotions."

Actively detonate negative emotions?

Dean was surprised, this is a novel way of self-control, if his situation continues to deteriorate in the future, he can also give it a try?

"I answered all your questions without reservation... Can you let me meet Vance, Donna..."

Claitie pleaded nervously and apprehensively, like a prisoner waiting for a judge to pronounce her sentence.

Dean regained his grip on the blood and soul in his hand, and with a flick of the trigger, the ghost was wiped out, just as he had done countless times in the past.

But this time he hesitated, the world had never been gentle with the Kretti Four, never.

The most important thing is that Dean has managed to maintain a stable mentality, but he doesn't want to trigger the supernatural hunter anymore and absorb the spirit to blow up his brain.

"You're honest, and I'm in a good mood, so I've decided to let you go. Hold on. ”

He waved his hand.

The remaining four ghosts flew out of the board and appeared in the bedroom.

Dean tortured them in the same way, all of which matched Cletti's statement, and he further inquired about the company behind the team.

As a result, FBI agent Bradley gave a big surprise.

"The company is part of the Stargate Jedi Project."

Dean frowned, "What is the Stargate Jedi Project?" ”

"Another race for special functions after the end of our space race with Sulian." Bradley explained with a dull face,

"The Ministry of Defense secretly hired psychics to study wall-piercing, invisibility, and telesensing, and dreamed of using remote sensing to disable all of Sulian's nuclear bombs, as well as concocting assassins who could kill people with their minds, and creating a super-powered assassination force."

"But as time progressed, many terrible accidents occurred in the Stargate Jedi Project, and for the sake of safety, most of the departments were divided into many small laboratories, and the research direction gradually evolved into three - to study the evolution and mutation of species, to study the origin and enhancement of superpowers, and to study extraterrestrial life such as UFOs and visitors from other dimensions..."

"Evolution and Variation of Species?" Dean suddenly wondered that DNA testing in this world is more advanced than the previous world, and it turns out that the official has begun to study more advanced projects, and a little leakage of technology has improved the scientific and technological strength of the entire society.

As for the US-Soviet hegemony, the space race, and so on ... There is also such a legendary history in the last world.

But the official research of this supernatural world goes deeper and can be said to be the high-level players behind the scenes.

"What are the results of the Stargate Jedi Project?"

"I didn't know, every part of the plan was absolutely secret, and with my position in the FBI, it took me decades to learn only a few superficial information - dozens of small cooperative companies and laboratories in the plan, scattered in countless secret locations across the country."

"Which company are you going to sell me to?"

"One of the companies that studies the origin and evolution of superpowers, and specializes in buying superpowers from bounty hunters, has an unknown name, and it took me more than a decade to find out that it's located in Indiana."

"How do you usually get in touch?"

"Using the BP machine to communicate... Every time we catch someone with superpowers, they tell us where to meet. ”

"BP machine?"

"I had it with me."

Dean's face sank, he was stunned by the surge of 1.5 spirit, and he didn't search the truck carefully, the BP machine should have burned directly.

But coincidentally, his uncle Paqui is now in Hawkins, Indiana, and nine years ago, his parents disappeared through Hawkins Town, and Dean will soon have to go to Indiana, where the "company" is located.

Maybe there will be more intersections.

"Did you disclose my information to the company?"

"Nope."

……

Then, Dean couldn't get any more information out of Bradley's mouth, so he looked away, and Kletie on the other side was reaching out to touch her lover's dull face and blurry blonde hair, but the other party and the other three were stupid and unresponsive, like puppets without a core.

"What's wrong with you, I'm Clayty, don't you know?"

"They don't have the mental strength and will you have, so they can't keep their sanity alive." Dean rubbed his swollen temples, looked at the stunned Clayty and asked, "Where are you going next?" ”

"I heard a distant call, a place waiting for us. As soon as we let go, as long as we want to, we will immediately enter that place. This time, everyone will never be separated. Clayty put her left hand around her lover and gathered the remaining three companions in a circle with her right hand.

The five souls stood in place, their bodies radiating as light as moonlight.

A place to call ghosts?

Dean bowed, that place should be the Soul Prison and the Wanderer's Forest.

"Goodbye, my kind, try to stay alive and become stronger, and bless you to one day break the damn law of convergence and disgusting corporations, and let the superpowered be truly free!"

Claitie smiled happily, and together with her companions, she turned into a spot of light like a firefly board, dissipating in midair.
