197. Tidy up, start again

Dean glanced at the woman with her eyes closed, her mutton fat white jade face was reflected in the lazy morning light, and her delicate facial features revealed a touch of childlike innocence.

The two contradictory temperaments are mixed together, exuding a thrilling charm that makes people can't take their eyes off it.

But the strong will told Dean not to indulge in anything, and he gently removed his hot arms and thighs,

"Hmm... What time is it, dear? Catherine opened her eyes suddenly, and leaned sideways to brush the hair from her ears to the back of her head, and the graceful curves under the blanket undulated,

"Half past seven, you were tired last night, sleep a little longer," Dean touched her face,

"I want to sleep with you in my arms." Catherine buried her head in his well-developed chest muscles, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat, and her curious eyes suddenly swept over his eight-pack abs, and the strong and smooth muscles on his chest and arms, "Why do I think you've become stronger?" ”

Dean smiled mysteriously, puffed out his biceps, and during the halftime of the fierce battle last night, he ran to the bathroom on a whim to try it, and succeeded in dividing the newly acquired free attribute points into two parts:

Spiritual: 18.6→19.3

Strength: 14.7→15.

After breaking through the limit of Stage 15 and surviving two minutes of insane pain, Dean was visibly stronger, his muscles tighter and more explosive, and he was more fierce and intimidating from the outside.

Even a green Asian face can make people realize that he is not easy to mess with.

As for the other part of the attribute points, why add spirits?

In the past, Dean was accustomed to a state where his spirit was slightly higher than his will, so that he would be more lively and energetic, and he would not be overly excited, or cold as a popsicle.

"Seriously, it's time for me to get breakfast ready." Dean kissed her forehead,

"There's no food in the fridge, just a little milk." Catherine smiled sweetly, with a hint of girlish coquettishness in her tone,

"Then I'm going to drive to the town to buy it, and when I come back, I can cook whatever you want, as long as it's eggs, bread, noodles and the like."

"That's sweet." Catherine, who had never been cared for by her boyfriend, narrowed her eyes happily, only to feel that the air she breathed had become sweet.

"You were great last night too." Dean changed into a black shirt and slacks, turned around and threw a flying kiss at her, and drove out of the house.

……

Dean didn't rush directly to the supermarket, but drove into a deserted forest, summoned the shadow that had become sluggish again after leaving the Soul Prison, and took out a bunch of stopwatches, rulers and other side face tools and began to measure.

"Get moving, Shadow!"

Wow, a black shadow flew into the air...

After some testing, the results were encouraging, with only 0.7 mental enhancements between 18.6 and 19.3.

The duration of the shadow has been increased from one hour to one hour and 20 minutes.

The range of movement from Dean has increased from nearly 100 meters to 100 meters.

The maximum weight of telekinesis lifting has been increased from 3 tons to 4 tons.

The speed of telekinesis flight has also been increased from 21 meters per second to 27 meters per second.

The higher the stat, the stronger the buff.

But Dean also has a strong instinct that after the stat breaks through the 20-point limit, each point of improvement will become more difficult.

……

Next, Dean experiments with last night's newfound superpower, "The Abyss".

In the middle of the elm forest shrouded in a faint sunlight, Di An, who was still standing, moved his head.

Hmmm-

In an instant, the daylight faded, and a dark as thick as asphalt poured out of the void, occupying every corner of the ten-meter radius.

Darkness, like a demon, wreaks havoc in this area!

And Dean's sun-like dazzling eyes are the only light source that can save lives.

A sparrow that had been chirping happily in the treetops just glanced at the light source, and its body stiffened and fell from the branch to the ground, losing its breath.

Wandering in the darkness and about to measure the shadow, he also raised his head, and then felt a deep sea-like pressure surging from all directions, and he was instantly frozen in place and unable to move.

"What's going on? Does this skill also accidentally damage allies? ”

Dean, who was releasing his skills, felt the abnormality of the "shadow", his mind turned again, and suddenly the special power that restrained the shadow disappeared, it regained its freedom, and a faint white light appeared in the pure darkness in front of it, making it enough to move freely.

"That's right, it's an abyss for the enemy, but it's a battlefield for me and my companions to have a huge advantage."

Two minutes later, Dean, feeling intensely tired, was relieved.

The bound infinite light released from his pupils, and the light returned to the narrow woods, illuminating the dense corpses of insects, a few hard-bodied birds, and snakes on the dead branches and leaves in the center.

"Insects and small animals are likely to be directly shocked by the abyss and their souls will collapse."

Dean touched his chin and analyzed,

"As for human beings, if the strength of the will is normal, it should fall into a state of loss of consciousness, fainting, or soul detachment?"

"No, the skills are still trained hard until the state of the target is precisely controlled - whether they are unconscious or dead, it's up to me to decide!"

Dean looked at Abyss Lv0 (1/100) again, and killed a bunch of insects at one time to increase his proficiency by 1 point, and he felt that he could use it once a day.

"With such a powerful superpower, it can be upgraded in a hundred days, at most in more than three months, and if it is used against humans and other creatures, it should speed up the upgrade time."

Di An'an was satisfied, and his eyes turned to the "shadow" standing in the forest.

"Man, don't be depressed, I'll find a way to help you find the reborn Mona when you look for Lena and Light in the future."

"The world is big, and the probability of finding her is extremely low, but as long as we persevere, there will always be gains."

Dean put his arm around Ei's shoulders,

"That's my promise."

"I believe in you, brother."

……

Back in the car, Dean took out the supernatural encyclopedia, turned a few new pages, and began to add Ryan Reynolds, the exorcist family; antique books "Spirit" and "Labyrinth"; New vocabulary and entries for Hell, Goatman, Loop Gate, and more.

Looking at the detailed records in the book, his whole heart became steady.

Put away the books.

He rushed to the supermarket to buy some groceries, returned to Catherine's house, and cooked delicious pasta for her.

After finishing the meal, the two couldn't help but roll onto the carpet and make out a while.

Cather wiped his neck, which was covered with kiss marks, and looked up at him,

"Can I write a report on Ryan Reynolds's actions, the detective's misunderstanding of him, and your final exorcism, it will definitely become hot news, and the newspaper will not care about my absence from work for so many days."

"I don't recommend that you do that." Dean ran his index finger around the woman's blonde hair and shook his head regretfully, "Now you know that there are many phenomena in this world that science can't explain. So think about it, why have there never been reports of these supernatural things? ”

Dean's question suddenly dimmed Catherine's expectant eyes, "Is there someone else preventing people from learning about the supernatural?" ”

"That's right. If you have to write about it, you will inevitably attract the attention of other forces and involve yourself in great danger. ”

Seeing Catherine's face hanging down in disappointment, Dean hugged her waist tightly to make her fit her better, and changed her words again,

"But you can rephrase it this way - there's no such thing as an exorcist, a goatman. Only Ryan Reynolds, a homeless man who knows how to repay the favor, followed you from Las Vegas to Hawkins, silently guarded you, and finally died in a fire to save you, but you need to discuss it with Sheriff Hope. ”

"Great idea!"

Catherine's eyes lit up as she put her arms around her boyfriend's neck and offered a fragrant kiss, and said with a smile, "You really don't mind if I write like this?" ”

"Of course I'm a little uncomfortable that my girlfriend concocted an article about another man she admired," Dean sighed at the thought of Ryan's charred body and the end of his soul, "but that man gave his life to save you... I can't afford to eat the vinegar of a dead man. And what he did deserves to be praised and spread so that all the people of Hawkins know him and admire him. ”

"Let everyone know that Ryan Reynolds has lived up to the glory of their exorcist family."

"It's more than that." Dean looked into Catherine's red eyes with emotion, "We're going to get his body back and erect a tombstone for him at Hawkins' cemetery." We can go and worship Him at any time. ”

"Dean, I, I..."

"Don't say it, it's what a man should do." Dean put his arm around her shoulders and leaned against the couch and sighed, "But there are a few things you have to remember, you should guess that I'm not an ordinary person, I have some special abilities, and I'm more like an exorcist and more dangerous than Ryan Reynolds." So you must not leak that, can you do it? ”

Catherine didn't speak, but pounced with her hands outstretched.

……

After a good day.

As if blessed, Catherine reverted to her confident and capable journalist lady, and returned to the newspaper to devote herself to her work and the work of justifying Ryan Reynolds.

Dean contacted Hope and rushed to the cottage of Owen, the Latin teacher, at the request of the other party.

In that familiar study, at the round table.

A petite figure was biting the tip of her pen and rubbing her slightly curly hair, solving middle school math problems in books, but this was obviously beyond her supposed level, and a small face wrinkled into a bitter melon.

And Owen, who was wearing glasses, paced around the little girl with a rigid face, exerting pressure.

"The best way to keep a person secret, other than to kill him, is to drag him into the water." Hope looked at this scene with a smile, "From now on, Owen will be Jane's culture teacher. ”

"Speaking of which, Jane also received a certain degree of arithmetic and literacy education in the laboratory, and is now about the same level as she is graduating from elementary school in math and reading."

"The identity of the superpower is sensitive, and she can't go to school. But we can't relax our education of her, after all, if a powerful superpower person's ability to perceive problems is too low, there is a high probability that it will cause disaster. ”

Dean glanced at the raunchy sheriff in surprise, and he actually had such insight, "Then how did you arrange it?" ”

"Jane would go to Owen's house on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends every week, and spend the rest of the time at Becky's house with her mom for physical therapy, or go back to her ancestral home to train her mind." In return, the two antique books had to be left for Owen to study for a while. ”

Dean worried, "Won't the people in the lab find out about being in town so often?" ”

Hope shook his head, "I've inquired, the lab has now relaxed its vigilance on the town of Hawkins, and they believe that the Sulian people took Jane. ”

"Don't take it lightly."

"Don't worry, I've been paying attention." Hope said, hesitantly changing the subject, "About Sarah." ”

"The Prison can't be opened at any time," Dean is not interested in accompanying the sheriff back for the time being, "It will be at least a few months before the next time it opens, and I will inform you in advance to bring your ex-wife." ”

"Okay then."

……

"Woo... Dean, you're finally here! Jane cheered in relief, threw the exercise to Owen, and the whole person pounced.

Dean picked her up and spun around, "Little one, are you happy learning knowledge?" ”

"Not happy at all!" Jane glanced back at the workbook, her little face tense in fear, "That thing is harder than a monster!" By the way, you said you were going to reward me! ”

Jane tilted her head and stared at Dean nervously, as if she heard a word that she was about to launch her telekinesis head,

"Of course, I'm talking, what reward do you want?"

"I'm going to make friends with people my age!"

"What? Do you want to make friends with other children? Hope next to him instantly darkened his face, pulled Rajan's arm, made her stand up straight, and said sharply, "I haven't settled the account with you last time you ran around without permission, and now you are making such excessive requests, can't you wait to go back to the Hawkins lab to see your father?" ”

"I know it's hard, but you've promised to do it!" Jane stared at the two adults with a pair of unwilling eyes, "Otherwise, you don't talk like Dad!" ”

"Are you in the rebellious period early?" Hope covered his forehead with a headache, "Is it okay to change your request?" Looking for some good cartoons for you, or taking you to the wild for a swim? ”

Jane didn't speak, just gasped and stubbornly glared at the two of them.

Dean's eyes also smiled helplessly, his eyes turned, and the image of a little fat man suddenly flashed in his mind,

"A good friend of the same age? Maybe I have a trustworthy goal, Jane, waiting for my good news. ”

……

Soon after, Dean rushed to Dustin's house on Maple Street,

"Dean, long time no see, let's go for a bike ride?" Chubby smiled and showed a mouthful of baby teeth, and enthusiastically invited,

"No, I have something else to ask you," Dean swept into his house from God's perspective, and happened to be Mrs. Marshall's absence, so he said bluntly, "Do you still want to see your father?" ”

"Joshua?" Dustin excitedly grabbed Dean's hand and pleaded, "I've always dreamed of seeing him and talking to him about the progress of the treatment!" Let me see him! ”

"I can reunite you again, but I have one request," Dean stared into the little fat man's eyes, "you have to accompany me to meet someone first, make friends with her, play games with her, and the whole process is strictly confidential, and cannot be divulged to anyone, including your mother Marshall, your best friends Will and Mike... Your most respected teacher, Mr. Clark... Otherwise..."

Dean's face turned pale, and his voice changed, "You have betrayed our friendship and trust, and you will never see Joshua again." ”

Dustin saw the solemnity in the other party's eyes, and his fleshy cheeks showed a serious look, thought for a moment, and nodded vigorously,

"I promise you Dean, you have done our family a great favor, and I always owe you a favor! Now it's my turn to repay you! ”

"Very well, now follow me!"

"Wait, aren't you going to let me play games with her? I'll bring some toys. ”

“OK。”

……

Owen house, living room.

Under the bright light, the boys and girls with childish faces stretched out their hands to each other,

"Hello, I'm Dustin."

"Hello, I'm Jane."

"Let's get started," Dustin eagerly took out the cardboard box and rulebook, "I'm going to teach you a fun game to play, and I swear you'll soon fall in love with it and become a professional mage!" ”

"What is a mage?" Jane was emotionally driven, and the corners of her mouth grinned happily,

"A powerful superpower! But first we have to have a table! ”

"There is a study!" Jane followed with sparkling eyes, then turned back to Dean at the door and smiled, showing a grateful expression.

……

"Is this little kid reliable?" Hope put his hands around his chest, his rugged face full of worry,

"Dustin already knew some of my secrets, but he did a good job of keeping them secret, so Jane didn't have to worry about it." Dean said, glancing at the lonely event in the system, bloodline, and two clues:

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

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

"Hope, I'll leave this matter to you, I should go to West Faraille to find Subject 8 Carly. Contact me if there is any situation. ”
