The lights illuminate a pot of enticing beef stew on the table, dotted with yellow potatoes, red tomatoes and carrots, and green celery.

But this time, Jane, who always gulped down the food like a competition, showed extra patience, and under the guidance of her aunt Betsy, she crushed the beef spoonful by spoonful, and then blew the soup cold, and awkwardly sent it into her mother's mouth.

Tyrei's black eyes were hollow and the corners of her eyes were faintly red, as if she knew that her daughter was by her side, but she couldn't express it.

He can only swallow and chew instinctively, but his muscles are poorly controlled, causing food debris to leak out from time to time and slide down his chin and stain his clothes.

Jane carefully wiped her with a napkin.

Hope at the dining table looked at this scene with relief and envy, his eyes were red with envy, and he turned his head to glance at Becky who was wiping his tears,

"It's tiring to take care of Tyree like this in the past, right?"

"She's used to it, she's a good listener, and no matter how much I complain, she's patient." Betsy stared at her niece and sister who loved each other with a smile, and couldn't get enough of it, "By the way, you snatched Jane back from the Hawkins Laboratory, isn't it very dangerous now." ”

Dean Zhengsedao,

"The people in the lab didn't know it was us, and they were still blindly searching everywhere... So don't tell anyone about Jane and us, and don't mention it on the phone, otherwise they will come to the door, and you and Tyreen will be killed! ”

Betsy's face turned pale and nodded heavily, and then looked at her niece,

"Alright, Jane, don't patronize Tyree, eat some yourself."

"It's okay, wait for Tai Rui to finish it first."

……

The atmosphere was harmonious, and after a few people finished lunch, they chatted about the clues that Jane had found in the dark domain of her mind before,

"No. 8 is really daring, after escaping from Hawkins, he actually dares to stay in West Ferraille, Indiana, an abandoned factory?" Dean looked at the girl,

"Well... A couple of huge 'iron boxes', with factories 1 and 2 painted on the doors..."Jane gestured with her hands, "a large group of young people, with loud speakers on the flat ground between the factories, dancing to the music, and Carly in there, she looked to have grown a lot, with a weird hairstyle, and a few friends with explosive heads and cockscombs. ”

"In other words, the place has now become a place of entertainment for young people and gangsters to have fun for free." Dean looked at the progress of jumping to eighteen percent of the "bloodline", and went through the clues of his parents that he had collected so far-

One about Lena: To the southwest, strip clubs with Indian or old ink dancers and supernatural powers.

One article about No. 8: An abandoned factory and dance hall in West Fareray, Indiana.

Because West Faraille was closer to Hawkins, Dean planned to go find the factory first.

……

"When are we going to go to find Sister Carly?" Jane's eyes sparkled across everyone,

"Jane, you finally reunited with your mother, and you are willing to leave her so soon?" Hope asked,

"No, but Mom hopes I'll find Carly..."

"You're staying with Tyri all this time," Dean touched the little girl's head and made an irrefutable decision, "I'll take care of Carly's business." It's been less than a day since Hawkins drove to West Faraille, and I'll rush over as soon as I can, trying to bring her back so you can see each other. ”

"Don't leave me, I'm going." Jane nervously and frightenedly took Dean's hand,

"He's only been away for a few days, he'll be back later, and we're here with you." Hope and Betsy put their arms around her shoulders left and right,

Jian Wenyan glanced at her demented mother, concerned aunt, and sheriff, and then turned to Dean with an encouraging face, and sighed tangledly.

"Okay, but you come back quickly."

"Don't fall behind in your daily training."

Next, everyone made arrangements, Jane stayed at Becky's house to accompany her old mother during the day, and was taken back to the ancestral house by Hope to sleep at night.

Dean travels alone to West Faraille, Indiana, to investigate Carly's news.

……

Hope drops Dean into the car.

Dean looked at the sheriff's vicissitudes of life through the car window, and clearly saw a lingering sadness in the other party's eyes.

"Shouldn't Jane be happy to be reunited with her mother, why are she crying? It's like you're hurt inside. ”

"What nonsense, I'm happy for her, I'm so happy." Hope touched the corners of his eyes and grinned, his shallow beard trembling, but the smile was worse than crying.

"Man, we're all on the same boat, so we can't say something heart-wrenching?" Dean casually threw Hope a chocolate bar,

"What do you want to know?" Hope's face was grim, and his tone was dissatisfied,

Dean hesitated for a moment and asked bluntly, "Let's be honest, did your biological daughter 'leave' because of an accident?" That's why you divorce your wife in New York and return to your hometown of Hawkins to become a sheriff, numbing yourself with alcohol every day. ”

This sentence is as sharp as a knife, piercing people's hearts and opening a big hole.

Hope's pupils contracted, and then he bent over the window, his fingers pulling hard at the glass.

"I warned you, don't use your cleverness to snoop on other people's privacy!"

"Snooping on what? You have a clear word written on your face - a father who is hiding from the past. Dean looked at his distorted side face, "You know, in my experience, if a person is always obsessed with the past, then sooner or later he will be carried away by the past. ”

"You know what?"

"I don't understand it, so I'm asking you."

"Ask me, ask me?" Hope covered her mouth, "But what can I do?" I can't save Sarah, I can't save my little angel... There is no cure for her cancer. ”

"I could only watch her lie on the hospital bed, her body full of tubes, unable to eat or drink, day after day, her face and arms getting thinner and thinner."

"I've tried to keep her, I've tried, but to no avail! She left..."

"My heart has been in trouble ever since, and I'm forever missing a piece that only alcohol can fill."

Hope slapped his chest with a thump, his bloodshot eyes staring at his companion,

"Do you understand how it feels? Tyree is reunited with her daughter, when will I be able to reunite with my Sarah? ”

Dean stared at the crazy man in front of him, and suddenly spoke,

"Where is the hospital where Sarah died?"

"What questions are you asking?"

"Answer me!"

"It's gone, it's been demolished long ago and turned into ruins."

That doesn't work properly.

Di An'an said, and then looked at the 100% charged "Thin Prison Shuttle", "Man, maybe I have a way to reunite you with Sarah." ”

"What do you mean, tell me clearly!"

"You'll understand when I get back."

……

Dean drove away from Betsy's house and drove straight into a no-man's land deep in the woods.

Mental immersion into the system.

Event Caged Bird:

You hide 11 (Jane) in your home for 1 month, allowing her to escape detection from the Hawkins lab and the military.

You have given her the love of a family and made her feel the warmth and happiness of family that she has never experienced before.

You carefully guided her in the basic application of superpowers, selflessly taught her precious meditation methods, and made her realize that superpowers are both poison and candy.

You took her to meet her haunting mother.

You promised to find Sister Carly for her.

The event completion rate is 160%, and you can withdraw your rewards at any time.

……

"Not two hundred percent."

Dean sighed, pondering that if she was to achieve 200 percent completion, she would probably have to bring Carly back and help Jane recover her memories from 79 years ago.

But this was almost impossible within the duration of the mandate, and he did not intend to drag the incident on any longer.

……

Withdraw your rewards!

XP +180, Personal Level Lv5 (30→210/700)

Between the over-completion levels, you can choose two of the following special rewards:

A. Specialization: Primary Mental Power.

Note: Requires 20 Spirit.

B. Strengthens the "Shadow of the Past": The system will once again strengthen its telekinesis.

C. Superpower - Shadow Fiend lv0: A different dimensional existence parasitizes your shadow. You can command it to trap the target, and if the target's will is lower than your spirit, the target will be forcibly imposed, and will continue to be drained by the Shadow Fiend until they die.

Note: Shadow Fiend will also slowly drain the host's energy.

Note: When Shadow Fiend is active, the host is unable to act.

Note: Shadow Fiend has a chance to reverse.

When this ability is increased, mental stats are slightly increased.

D. Superpower - Fire Manipulation Lv0: When the will is strong enough, it can not only contain its own spiritual power, but also some elements and energy from the outside world... and shape it.

You have developed a strong affinity for flames, and you have made friends with them, allowing you to create them at will and command them to attack your enemies.

And the autoimmune part of the flame attack.

When this ability is increased, the will attribute is increased slightly.

E. Strengthen the ability of the system - God's perspective: In addition to observation and recording, God's perspective will have a third function——

Search (dark area of the mind): When you close your eyes, your perception will cross the barriers of time and space, tracking the past and present to search for the target that your mind locks on.

You can quietly listen to the conversation of the target and learn about the movement of the target.

The closer the target is to you, the better you know about it, and the more likely you are to track it.

Note: Use this feature to perceive ≥15.

F. 1 free attribute point.

……

"The superpowers that I came into contact with during the incident, including the superpowers of the Su Lian people I killed, have almost all been brushed out, except for the strength elder."

The daylight shining through the car window illuminated Dean's slightly excited cheeks, and he immediately ruled out the most cost-effective option F, locking the dark area of option E's mind.

To complete the long-term event "Bloodline", he must master the ability to find people.

And with the supplement of the dark domain of the mind, God's perspective integrates observation, backtracking, and searching, and is truly omnipotent.

This one is a must!

Then exclude option A.

Dean Spirit 18.6 is less than 20 points, and he can't use it even if he takes the telekinesis specialty.

And Shadow's telekinesis is also enough.

He hesitated for a long time between B, C, and D.

The skill of C Shadow Demon seems to be powerful, leaving Dean powerless. However, the flaws are also unbearable, and when the ability is activated, it becomes a living target and can be counterattacked.

Dean couldn't tolerate such a ticking time bomb.

What's more, it coincides with the "shadow of the past" to a certain extent, and the flexibility and adaptability are even inferior to the "shadow".

Exclude!

Option D is a powerful attack, and comes with defense that reduces fire damage, both offensive and defensive, and upgrades can also increase will.

Quite in line with Dean's expectations.

It's a pity that his superpower slot is 6/6 full, and only when the Red Dragon Meditation Method is upgraded again and gets the "Gift of Strength" can he increase the upper limit of the ability bar.

"Actually, I don't have a choice."

"I choose B and E."

A hint flashed in front of me—

The Shadow of the Past "Enhanced" is complete.

God's Perspective has been added to the Dark Realm of the Mind.

……

Dean dimly felt an unfamiliar force in his body.

Like a part of a limb that stretches, a thought can stimulate it and make it work.

"Let's do an experiment..."Dean took out the photo in his arms, observed his father Lu Guangming's Chinese face, and the memories about him circulated in his mind.

Then he crossed his knees on the car couch and looked at his watch, half past one in the afternoon.

He put on an eye patch and relaxed.

In the next second, he entered a swarthy space.

In the faint light, the rich darkness circulates around the space like oil paint, faintly reflecting some abnormal contours and oil-like luster.

But it's not like a cosmic vacuum, it feels like it's deep and vast.

The eerie darkness was like some kind of living behemoth wriggling all the time, hiding bundles of curious eyes, and it was still whispering, observing, examining Dean, the sudden intruder.

But Dean struggled to capture the sounds, but he couldn't hear anything, as if it were just a hallucination.

Dean looked at his hands, and every part of his body was glowing unusually white in the pitch-black space.

The light escaped outward, turning into a wisp of white smoke that stood out in the darkness, and the white smoke swept into the invisible darkness ahead.

Keep up, the goal is there!

Dean followed the white smoke and rushed forward.

Tata Tower...

Clear footsteps echoed.

He kept running, and the darkness was as boundless as a tide, washing away the white smoke that had shown him the way away more and more, and at some moment it was completely gone.

Dean was disoriented.

……

Daylight reils up the view.

Dean took off his blindfold and glanced at his watch.

1:32.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Dean's mouth,

"Jane's ability to think of the dark domain is higher than mine, and I can't find the light, so it's even more impossible for me as a newcomer, I should choose a simpler goal."

Dean recounted the wonderful feeling just now,

"It's like running in the dark for half an hour, and the real world has only passed two minutes."

But in the past two minutes he had felt a little tired mentally, and he would have to withdraw in a quarter of an hour to rest.

……

Dean then pulled out a picture of his uncle grinning, looked at the photo while recalling his personal information, put on his blindfold again, and escaped into the darkness.

Soon.

An unfamiliar pink room appeared in the dark realm of his mind.

Dean walked through the brown wooden door.

At the foot of a luxurious double bed covered with a blue blanket, a yellow-skinned man in a shorts vest was doing push-ups with his hands on the solid wood floor.

Teacher Kelly Chan sits leisurely on his back and carries the weight of the human body.

From time to time, she smiled and patted the rock-like constricted and stretched muscles on his body, like stroking a suit of armor.

The floor creaked with each time Paqui fell to the ground.

Every inch of his skin, every drop of sweat on his face glowed, allowing Dean to see clearly in this dark space.

Regular breathing and heartbeat echoed in Dean's ears.

At this time, Pakui and Kelly Chan seem to be a realistic hologram.

"Paqui has a lot of fun." Dean clapped his hands together, and the crisp slap echoed through the space.

But Paqui and Kelly Chan don't know anything.

"Do you hear me, uncle, aunt?"

Dean yelled,

Dahan was doing push-ups mechanically.

"The target in the dark realm of the mind doesn't feel my presence."

"So-"

Dean tried to reach out and touch the two of them, but interrupted the "mirage", and the whole room of Uncle and Kelly Chan instantly turned into a faint cloud of smoke and shattered, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"At the moment, I can't touch the target in the dark realm of my mind, and I can't communicate with them at any level."

"It's amazing, it's like being in another dimensional space, monitoring targets in the real world, and once you want to cross the dimension, you will break the balance and exit the monitoring state. There must be other secrets hidden in the dark realm of the mind. ”

Dean took off his blindfold and returned to reality, his face deeply tired.

"Nowadays, there is a short-range observation within 50 meters to obtain a field of vision, and a black field monitoring target in the mind hundreds of miles away, and my ability to obtain information has been greatly improved."

"In the future, before the nightly meditation routine, come to the Black Domain Exploration Training Training."

……

Then it was the turn of the telekinesis experiment.

The strength of mental power is related to the efficiency of mental and conversion, and Dean's mental remains unchanged at 18.6, so option B improves the efficiency of mental conversion to telekinesis.

Di An, who was in the main driver's seat, thought about it, and instantly felt a shock under him, and the vegetation outside the window began to run down quickly.

No, it was the whole Bronco that flew.

The "shadow" suspended behind Dean easily lifted the 1.5-ton car with invisible telekinesis, and flew all the way to a height of ten meters in the air, standing still.

Dean poked his head out of the car window and looked at the shrunken scenery below, a hint of joy appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he clearly felt that the "shadow" still had some strength left.

"The mental power of the previous shadow can only lift two or three hundred kilograms of motorcycles, but now it should be able to lift three tons of heavy objects, which is not inferior to Jane in its regular form."

And the "Shadow" can always maintain the maximum power output, unlike Jane, which can only explode for a short time!

This level of enhancement is far beyond Dean expected!

Thump.

The car landed steadily.

Dean got out of the car, looked around at the surrounding green trees, selected a few big trees hugged by one person twenty meters away, and pushed them forward casually.

Wow –

The air surged, and broken leaves flew all over the ground.

With a crisp click, the invisible telekinesis struck the three trees in half and fell to the ground, and the frightened birds chirped and flapped their wings and fled the forest.

Dean looked at his palm, his eyes flashing with a strange brilliance, "If this level of strength hits the enemy head-on, you can't escape a crushed fracture of the whole body, and you can also pinch people into meat pies." ”

"If you manipulate a flying knife or a sharp weapon, you can easily take someone's life from a hundred meters away, and you are more flexible and concealed than a sniper rifle."

……

Call... Suck...

Dean suppressed his restless mood, let the "shadow" wrap his body, stood up straight relaxed, his hands stretched out like wings apart, and in the next second, the whole person jumped up into the air like lightning.

Whew—

The galloping air stream pierced his skin like pins, but was firmly blocked by the ghost armor, and after Dean frantically rose a layer of clouds for a kilometer, the temperature froze, and the oxygen began to thin rapidly.

His body struck sideways, and he sprinted forward like arrows.

His body turned into a series of tiny black dots that shimmered in the air.

His flight speed has skyrocketed from seven meters per second to twenty-one meters per second, exceeding the speed of running at full strength on the ground.

Telekinesis becomes his fastest way to move!

"That's real flying!"

After half a minute of hearty fun, in order to avoid being photographed by satellites, Dean landed from the air and wiped his nose.

"After this incident, I almost copied Jane's superpowers to myself."

"Super Little Lucky Star, the hard work spent on you is not in vain."

Satisfied, Dee returned to the car, pulled out a polo candy, and drove straight off the road out of Hawkins to West Farraille.

There is currently only one long-term event "Bloodline" left in the event slot.

It's time to go all out!

But the plan can never catch up with the change, and not long after Dean drove on the road, the BP machine on his waist rang.

He found a phone booth on the side of the road and called back.

"Catherine? What's wrong? ”

"Okay, I'll be right here."
