249. Aftercare, reward
The garden area is on fire.
Near the road into the city, smoke and ash billowed from the gas station, the flames engulfed nearby villas and bungalows, licked the trees and corpses on the roadside, and the cries and wails of survivors were heard in the nearby French Quarter, and dozens of police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances surrounded the road.
Two helicopters patrolled in the sky.
Tonight, no one is sleeping in New Orleans.
In the center of the Garden District, outside the 20-storey building where fierce fighting took place.
A blonde man in pajamas sat on a curb stone by a flower bed and spat on another man in a black suit, wearing sunglasses, and holding a tape recorder with a poker face.
"I was sleeping in my bedroom when I was awakened by a sharp pain, and when I woke up, I saw a terrible monster, two stories high, two heads... With one hand wielding an axe larger than a person, he climbed the building as a pickaxe. The man pointed to the horrific pitted hole in the side wall above his head, "The other hand grabbed me out of the bedroom and threw me downstairs. ”
"I thought I was going to die, but a superman saved me."
"Superman?" The man in the suit raised his eyebrows,
"Yes, he stretched out his hand at me, as if unleashed... Well, the telekinetic force in the movie fixed me in mid-air and slowly lowered me to the ground! The man clasped his hands to his chest in gratitude, "God witness, I didn't lie, a dozen guys over there can testify!" ”
"Don't get excited, I didn't doubt you, the world is big, there will always be some special existence... What does he look like? ”
"About 30 years old, white, blonde hair, blue eyes, a beard around the mouth, gray tracksuits... Mr. FBI, if you find this hero please help me bring my thanks. ”
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, sit down for a while, and someone will arrange it soon."
"Help contact the ambulance, I seem to have a broken arm."
The man in the suit walked to the short-haired, heroic lady with short black hair under the street lamp next to him.
"It's been roughly clear, a telepathic hidden in the city repelled the regeneration of the Voodoo cult, and his whereabouts are unknown... Psychic people have the behavior of actively saving ordinary people, tend to be kind, and are at the third level of danger. ”
The woman shook her head and looked around at the empty place near the building, and a blurry and rapidly disappearing picture kept flashing in her pupils: a man surrounded by dozens of weapons with electric light, full of platinum light, "Mastering a large number of extraordinary weapons, awakening life energy, telekinesis shock, barely reaching level 4, it needs to be included in the key tracking objects, compared with the attackers in Dog Town, Denver, Bohao County, Cheyenne, and Faraille." ”
"Understood."
"Now you take someone near the gas station first, gather all the witnesses, and prevent the news from spreading further."
The man in the suit nodded and left.
The woman's gaze swept over the dozen or so survivors who were being questioned by the opposite flower bed, and then looked at the streets and high-rise buildings that were raging like a hurricane, and shook her head and sighed.
"The world is getting more and more chaotic, don't these demons and monsters know how to fear the law of convergence? Spirit Butterfly..."
The air rippled, and a translucent ripple approached the short-haired woman,
"Calm down all witnesses in the vicinity, and weed out memories that shouldn't be..."
"Yes, team leader."
……
On the other side, Dean, who had finished dealing with the enemy, quickly returned to the Double Corridor House, cleaned up the traces of battle and blood along the way, called the surviving Jacob and others, and drove out of New Orleans.
Twenty miles to the west, under a remote ramp.
An RV, a jaguar, and a Chevrolet stopped beside a tall oak tree, the branches and leaves of the oak tree swayed in the wind and made a soft sound, like a quiet bagpipe, and the eight of them gathered in a circle, listening to Dean tell the whole story of the incident.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry about Victor and Shane, they have rested forever and can sleep peacefully in the future."
"But why the hell did Shane do that?" Scott said indignantly, "Because she was betrayed by her husband, she cursed an innocent child, and finally attacked the city in a frenzy to get revenge on the whole world? Crazy? ”
"Young man, you're still too young," said Zumbi, rubbing his bare chin, "and it's not strange that a woman would do something terrible when she finds out that her husband is cheating." But that doesn't matter, Todjan's blessing, the dangerous regenerator is gone, and the Honey Island Swamp travel business can continue. ”
Dean shook his head silently, and the conversation between Shane and Victor before they disappeared flashed in his mind, feeling that the relationship between Maas, Shane, and Lina was not a simple relationship of derailment and betrayal.
Maybe more complicated, but it's all over.
"Do you still have a little humanity and compassion!" Katie glared at the black man, looked at the sky, and said with trembling red lips, "So many people died in New Orleans tonight, and you still want to do business?" ”
Faraj also looked at his wealthy father, who spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders,
"Well, I was wrong, in the last two days, I will be holding a Voodoo ritual for free to overtake these poor deceased, lest they be used again and turned into reincarnated corpses."
"Samson is also dead." Trent muttered with a gloomy face, "He has a wife and children and a happy family, and he obviously deserves to die." ”
"We two unconcerned single wastes survived." Bob took a small sip of whiskey, his eyes were red,
"This is God's will," Jacob recalled the two-headed man's feet hanging inexplicably in the air, and a strange gleam flashed in his eyes, "because you two sincerely repented of your past bullying and violence against Victor, confessed to him and apologized to him, and accepted punishment, so God let you live." And Samson never confronted his mistakes and repented of them, he only cared about his own life, so he paid the price. ”
"You feel sorry for your old friend, and you will take care of his wife and children more in the future."
Trent and Bob looked at each other and nodded heavily, "We'll go to Baton Rouge as soon as it's dawn." ”
…
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is an end to all good and pain." Dean snapped his fingers and stared into everyone's eyes one by one, "It's time to separate, but before that, I must warn you not to reveal this experience to anyone, as if nothing happened and you never knew me." You'd better get out of New Orleans for a while and get out of the way. ”
After consuming the divinity points, without the blessings of the divinity realm, Dean can no longer brainwash people once and for all.
"Think of it all like a dream?" Scott looked at Dean's face, recalling the bizarre experience during this time and the incredible power shown by the other party, his eyes flashed a trace of dazed and unwilling, a humble Asian boy is going to return to a boring, boring life?
"Don't worry, buddy," Zumbby made an OK gesture to Dean, "I'm tight-lipped about you, I don't want to be targeted for no reason, and I'll never be able to live in peace." ”
"You saved the lives of our family, I swear to God," Jacob solemnly promised as he held up the cross, "and we will keep it a secret for you." ”
Katie's eyes sparkled, and she added gratefully, "Our road trip isn't over yet, and we're not going to be back in New Orleans anytime soon." ”
Trent and Bob are equally sure
Dean nodded.
"Leaving in such a hurry? Don't accompany Gretchen? Faraj said with some reluctance that in just a few days of working together, she has seen all kinds of conveniences in superpower investigations, which will be of great help to her career as a police officer, and she is really unwilling to lose such a big thick leg.
"If I continue to stay, I will cause unnecessary trouble and danger. Gretchen's injury was also healed by me, and I returned to Las Vegas to recuperate for a few days, and before I officially joined LVPD, I would be alive and kicking again. ”
"Can we contact you if we need help in the future?"
"If you have a chance... Well, Gretchen has my contact information. ”
"Alright then, goodbye."
Dean got up from the stump and looked at the sky, the night was about to pass, and a faint white light appeared on the horizon,
He returned to the RV, kissed the sleeping Gretchen on the forehead, touched her face, and finally injected a soft vibration into her.
"Goodbye."
got into his car and waved his hand to a few people next to the RV,
"Wait, man, what's your destination?" Reluctantly, Scott pulled open the window and trotted along, "Do you want to come with us on a vacation to Texas?" The RV was very comfortable to sit in. ”
Katie next to her blinked with big eyes and looked at her expectantly.
Dean raised his eyebrows, this family was actually in the same direction as himself.
But he thought about it and shook his head,
"See you soon."
Bang!
The jaguar disappeared from view along the road to the east.
……
"How does it feel?" Dean looked at the co-pilot, using his mental power to manipulate the steering wheel, and the new "shadow" seemed to be looking in a mirror.
"It's wonderful," Shadow Moonstone's eyes shimmered with human excitement, "the moment I was born, I seemed to be omnipotent, like a god, and even now, I clearly feel that it is different from before, my mind is clearer, I can even smell you, I have become a different being, I am no longer a simple ghost, I can do many things that were unimaginable before." ”
He said solemnly, "But no matter how much you change, I will always be your most loyal partner." ”
Dean put his arm around Ei's shoulders in relief, "Next, let's go all out to find Lena and Light, by the way, a drink?" ”
"Hmm."
Dean took out two glasses of juice from the space, drank them with Shadow, and then did a series of simple tests together.
After being promoted to the domain level, the original ability of the shadow has been upgraded in all aspects——
He can independently draw energy from the void to maintain his body, or his body can transform from virtual to real food through eating, and only need Dean to provide weak mental power, so the continuous existence time has been increased from more than 3 hours to 24 hours a day.
The maximum distance between him and Dean has been increased from more than three hundred meters to less than one kilometer, and this range belongs to the realm of shadows, and the enemies identified in the domain will be suppressed, and all attributes will be reduced by ten percent.
Every hour Eve, Shadow can teleport to any part of the realm, and both Dean and Ei can teleport to each other's location.
The strength of telekinesis, telekinesis flight speed, and the efficiency of frost, fire, and lightning energy manipulation have also been qualitatively improved, so that the sex crushed the two-headed regenerator at that time.
However, the exact increase will have to be professionally tested to figure out.
In addition, Shadow can now grow by killing powerful souls and draining soul essences, similar to Dean's supernatural hunters, without having to rely on the board's measly 1 point per day.
Shadow upgrade stats increased from 0.5 spirit to 1 spirit.
……
After confirming the breakthrough of the film.
Dean put his hands on the back of his head, closed his eyes, mentally examined the prompts in the system, and counted the rest of the gains-
Your will has broken through the critical point of 20 points, and you have awakened a specialty - Mirror Shield: The will breaks through the second order, you have put on a thick armor for the soul, and your resistance to all attacks directly aimed at the soul such as curses, mental shocks, etc., is slightly enhanced, if the attacker's will is lower than you, you may be counterattacked by the soul attack, and the probability is proportional to the difference in will.
……
A satisfied smile opened into the corner of Dean's mouth, he used to have the Iron Man specialty to protect the body, and now he has the Mirror Shield specialty to protect the soul.
His ability to survive and adapt has increased dramatically.
In addition, his will and spirit were once again in balance, and he felt much more relaxed, and his mental internal friction was greatly reduced.
Next it's the turn of the event - the undead of the Honey Island Swamp are completed!
You find Trent, Samson, and Bob, who burned Victor Crowley on Honey Island on Halloween night years ago, and gather them together in New Orleans.
Instead of sacrificing the three Arsonists directly to Victor, you went after the source of the Immortal Curse.
You find a few photos of strange women at Thomas's House, and you find the small town of Bay St. Louis, where they lived before Mewda.
In the town, you find out Thomas's entanglement with nurse Lina and his seriously ill wife Shane, and discover that Victor Crowley is Thomas and Lina's own flesh and blood, and the curse on his body comes from Shane's resentment before he died.
You travel alone to 63 Clam Street, where Shane died, and severely injure his soul and destroy the Mystery Lodge.
You make it all the way back to New Orleans, and after a fierce battle, you eliminate both Shane and Victor, putting an end to the undead in the Honey Isle Swamp and destroying the source of the curse.
The event completion rate is 200 percent.
Withdraw rewards.
Experience +170, character level lv6 (380→550/900).
Depending on the level of completion, you can choose between two special rewards, one of which is significantly increased:
A. Superpower - Rejuvenated Corpse Creation Lv0: Forcibly brand the souls that have just left the body with your will, so that they can return to their dead bodies and become revenated corpses that obey your words.
The strength, physique, and slight increase in the strength of the rejuvenating corpse, and a slight decrease in sensitivity and perception... At lv0 level, the reincarnated corpse will inherit five percent of all your attributes, but with low memory and IQ.
Increases this ability by slightly increasing your Will stat.
Note: This ability requires a minimum of 15 will.
B. Specialty – Cursed Body: You will carry the curse and be full of anger.
The resentment, unwillingness, pain, despair, and all kinds of negative emotions accumulated in your heart will be transformed into free attribute points to enhance your strength, and the more painful and desperate you are, the faster the transformation efficiency will be.
C. Superpower - Call of the Underworld lv0 (from the god of death Baron Samadi, greatly increasing the reward):
When using abilities, your Will and Spirit will each gain a bonus of 5.
You will open a passage to the underworld, a special plane, and summon skeleton chains to entangle control, attack the target, destroy the target's body and soul, or forcibly pull it into the underworld seal.
The sum of the will and spirit is lower than you, and you will not be able to resist.
Boost this ability and boost your will and spirit by a small amount.
Note: Will and spirit are not less than 20
D. Superpower - Voodoo Spell Lv0: Use special spells to increase or weaken the target's strength, positive and negative energy, positivity, love, money and prosperity, success, spirituality... Let the target disease be doomed, or be healthy and happy...
The effect is positively correlated with your Will stat.
Increases this ability and increases will slightly
E.1 free attribute point.
……
Dean looked at the harvest and immediately decided on option C.
This is a fairly powerful skill that combines control and attack, and can be used against specific individuals.
Master the Skeleton Chain, and if you really can't destroy your enemies, pull them into the Underworld and imprison them.
Yes, although Dean doesn't know what the underworld is, it is by no means suitable for living people, and it is not easy to go there and come back.
In addition, this skill improves both the will and spirit attributes, and the growth potential is huge, so it should not be missed.
……
One option remaining.
Dean reluctantly ruled out options A and D, after all, there would be no extra skill slots for choosing C.
All that remains is B's specialty and E's stat points.
B is too extreme and requires inner pain and despair to be effective.
Dean couldn't have been in a state of despair for a long time for the sake of freedom attribute points, and he didn't have much chance to trigger the effect.
But on second thought, this expertise may work wonders in the pinch-time of the future.
"I choose B and C."
