256. Clear
Room 207 of the Dewdrop Hotel.
Exclamations came one after another,
"God, Dean, you're here just in time!" Scott's face flushed with excitement,
"Could it be that you have been following us all the time, so you can save us every time we are in a critical situation?" Katie patted her chest, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and her heart fluttered like a roller coaster.
"This test is over before it has even begun?" The priest kissed the cross, breathing a sigh of relief and a little chagrin,
"We'll talk later, I'll talk to these two criminals first." Dean smiled at the family and looked at the Goko brothers again, "Say, where are you going in Mexico?" ”
Seth's expression was a little dazed, he didn't swing his fist, he didn't shoot a shot, and he was captured inexplicably, "Who is you, were you doing magic just now?" ”
"You can think of me as a magician, my friends have been threatened and hurt by you." Dean hooked his fingers lightly, and the two brothers suddenly felt a tightening under their pants, and the vital parts were pinched by the invisible big hands, and the severe pain distorted the two faces, "If you don't answer the questions honestly, you will enjoy all kinds of fluttering magic." Don't play tricks, or you'll die a terrible death! ”
"Stop!" Ricky yelled, "We admit it! ”
Dean relaxed.
Ricky and Seth, who were slumped on the bed, exchanged a look, for more than thirty years, they had survived the rain of bullets countless times, but they had never met such a person who violated common sense, as if he had some kind of unscientific supernatural power, and ordinary people could not resist at all.
The two brothers are not a tendon of the same kind of goods, and they are soft at the moment,
"We are wanted for bank robbery, so we plan to go to Juarez on the other side to avoid the limelight."
"Want to lose male function? I heard who you were going to trade with! ”
"Hiss - let go, I'm not done yet!" Seth shouted in a cold sweat, "We're going to the bar south of Juarez and make a deal with a man named Carlos, just tonight, we have to hurry!" ”
"Who is Carlos?"
"I've only met him a few times, and I'm not familiar with his identity, but he has his hands and eyes and fishes us out of prison," Seth confessed honestly, "and in exchange we snatched a batch of bearer bonds from the City of Abilene Bank and brought them back to him." When the time comes, he will give us money and provide protection. After all, the two of us have hung up several wanted warrants, and we can't get a foothold in the United States. ”
Dean walked over to the black suitcase by the window, opened it, and took out a long stack of paper larger than the size of a dollar bill, stacked on top of each other, with intricate patterns and numbers.
"What's the use of this bond?"
Ricky shook his head and straightened the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "After finding some professionals, you can convert them into cash and wash them completely." ”
Dean nodded, "How much can you exchange for such a big box of bonds?" ”
"You don't have a channel, you can't change it." Seth next to him shook his head,
"Huh?"
"Okay, about 10 million dollars."
10 million dollars, ordinary people in this era have to earn hundreds of years and squander them for several lifetimes.
The Katie twins covered their mouths, their eyes flashed with the symbol of a large amount of money, and the priest's beard trembled in shock.
Dean felt that the suitcase had become a lot heavier.
Ricky saw his thoughts, and his small eyes shot a gleam, "Man, there is no deep hatred between us, and you can't exchange this batch of bonds for money yourself, why don't you make a deal?" You go with us to Mexico to complete the transaction, and we will give you half of our remuneration, two and a half million, which is real dollars, not such waste paper! Get it and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you will never have to earn a penny again. ”
Seth added, "It's not far away, from the Iron Bridge into Juarez and then south, now hurry up and get to the bar before the sun sets." ”
"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Scott excitedly persuaded on the side, "If you go to Mexico, you will enter the paradise of this group of criminals, and you can't help it!" ”
"Let's call the police," Katie paced in circles, "let the police deal with these two robbers, we won't need the bonds anyway!" ”
"Dude, are you really going to give up the big fat in your mouth?" Seth rolled over on the bed like a boneless snake and looked up at Dean,
"Money aside," Dean calmly closed his suitcase and looked at the progress of the jump from 42 percent to 44 percent in the system, "I'm more interested in Carlos and the bar you mentioned, they might have something to do with one of the targets I'm looking for, do you know her?" ”
Dean pulled the portrait out of his bosom and placed it next to the bed.
Seth glanced at the statue of the woman wrapped around the python and shook his head blankly, while Ricky's pupils contracted, his cheeks bulged, and goosebumps appeared on his neck.
"Ricky Goko, do you recognize her?" Dean narrowed his eyes, "Tell me everything about her, and I'll consider sparing your lives." ”
Ricky struggled for a moment, but looked at the brother who was tied up by five flowers next to him, and couldn't help but speak, "I saw her in an illusion, not a statue, a living person, wearing a feather crown and a platinum python on her body, very beautiful and sexy, but I don't know who she is." ”
Dean explained, "She's the patron goddess of the Blood Sacrifice Gang and the lover of the Serpent God. ”
"Blood Sacrifice Gang, Snake God?"
"That's the Mayan and Aztec beliefs, I'll explain it to you when I have time."
"Well, goddess, only goddess has the magic of forgetfulness." Ricky lowered his head and said slowly, "In recent months, she has been appearing in front of me, whispering to me, and hallucinating me. ”
The pastor's family had a very strange expression, wasn't they talking about bonds, how did it suddenly become theological.
"Wake up! Sick again? Seth gave Ricky a headbutt with a funny swing of his neck, and then looked at Dean, "My brother has a bit of a mental state, he often talks nonsense and has a convulsive brain!" ”
"Don't blame all the supernatural on illness, Ricky is not sick, but is disturbed by the spirit of a powerful being." Dean retorted, a flash of excitement on his face, Lena had also seen visions of the Patronus Goddess, "Ricky, what did the Goddess tell you?" ”
"She asked me to find her... Release her again and set her free. Ricky stared obsessively into the air, as if there was some peerless beauty there, "I can feel that she is calling me, that she desperately needs my help." ”
Still guardian goddess freedom?
Call?
Dean vividly remembers that Lena was also called by the goddess, "Where is she calling you?" ”
Ricky paused, "Also south of Juarez, the bar where Carlos traded, she'll come out to see me tonight, and then all the mysteries will be revealed." ”
Progress jumped to 48 percent.
Dean exchanged excited glances with the shadow beside him, and was basically sure that the bar south of Juarez was the striptease club where Lena and the Patronus had appeared in the illusion, that is, the terminal he had been searching for all the way southwest from Hawkins!
Find this bar and Dean will find Lena!
In addition, since the Patronus Goddess needs Ricky, Dean can completely use Ricky as a hostage to negotiate with the Goddess!
……
"Very well, Brother Goko, you answered my question honestly, and I give you a chance to live." Dean made a plan and immediately put it into action, "Honestly listen to my arrangement, let's enter Juarez, Mexico together, arrive at the bar trading point, trade bonds, and meet the guardian goddess for a while!" ”
Seth and Ricky were stunned by this pie from the sky, and their faces were filled with joy,
"Have you thought it through?" Scott stomped his foot anxiously, "They're robbers, they can't be trusted!" ”
"I'll use my fist to make them both honest, you know what I'm capable of." Dean clasped his fingers, and the Goko brothers rose uncontrollably, hovering in a circle under their heads and feet.
Only then did the three of them remember his supergod performance in New Orleans, even the terrifying monster like the two-headed regenerator was chased and beaten by him, what is the difference between ordinary criminals and ants in front of him.
"Yes, you're sure you'll be able to take care of them." The priest nodded hesitantly, and then hesitated, "I have a request, our destination is also Mexico, can we cross the border together." ”
"Yes!" Katie Chick nodded like a peck and said, "You're going to get these two criminals over, and you need our RV cover!" ”
Scott added, "Man, I've always wanted to keep traveling with you. ”
The bound Goko brothers bared their teeth, this is still the same person who begged them to let them go, why did they suddenly have so much guts?
Seth couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your family is not afraid of death now, and take the initiative to cross the border?" ”
"You have no idea who is standing in front of you." Scott looked at Dean with a look of adoration, "If there is a God in the world, then he must be the closest to God!" ”
"Stop, I'm not that good." Dean himself couldn't listen to the little boy's boasting, "The bar you're going to is not very peaceful, and if you have to keep up, there is a high chance that you will be in danger, and I can't protect you." ”
"The future is uncertain," the pastor said, holding his children's hands, "but as long as we are together as a family, we will be able to get through this." ”
……
"Let's go!" Dean pondered that it would be easier and faster to have a car to cover, "Pastor Jacob, you take Scott and Katie to start the car first, drive to the front door, and in five minutes, I'll bring them both over." ”
"Good!" The family quickly packed up their luggage and clothes in the room and left the door.
Dean waited a few minutes, untied the two brothers, and with a twist of his wrist in front of them, the suitcase full of bonds and the firearm disappeared into thin air,
Seth was taken aback, "Where's the box?" The box is gone, how can you go to the bar to trade?! ”
"Don't worry, it's just a little magic." Dean flicked his wrist again, and the suitcase reappeared, "I'm just warning you, don't play tricks, or you'll lose your lives and your money." ”
Seth patted his chest, "Now that we have become companions, we trust you 100%!" Can you give us back the gun? ”
Dean vetoed, "I'll talk about it when we get to the bar." ”
And Ricky quickly got into the state, moved to the window in front of the door, and looked at the corridor and hall outside, his face sank,
"Farke, the 'hounds' are here again, with three policemen, and Pastor Jacob has betrayed us!"
"It's not a betrayal." Dean God's perspective was released, and the priest's family had already driven to the front of the hotel and were waiting there, but the other two groups were surrounded by the left and right stairs of the hotel.
The three on the left are wearing local blue police uniforms and wearing pistols at their waists, and on the right is a typical western cowboy with a black wide-brimmed hat on his head, a gold star pinned to his chest jacket, a pistol at his waist, black hair and black eyes, a strong body, and a very obvious Mexican ancestry, "Texas Patrol? ”
"We were just buying a bottle of water at a convenience store when we were unlucky enough to bump into Patrolman Gonzalez and his partner, and we got fired." "We hit his partner in the right spot, and he chased him all the way from East Texas to the far west like a rabies dog," Seth said fiercely. ”
Dean suddenly felt strange in his heart, he should be on the same line with the patrol police, but this time he can only shield the criminals.
"No longer delayed, I'll go out and lure them away," Ricky suggested, "you two slip out of front of the way!" ”
Seth clenched his fists, "Get out of the way, if you want to succeed in the hero, I'm also the top of my brother!" ”
"Don't make a noise, come with me." Dean undoubtedly pushed open the door of the house, strode to the left side of the corridor, and waved his hand behind him at will, and the Texas patrol officer who was rushing quickly on the right side of the corridor hit the wall with a "bang", a large bag swollen on his forehead, and he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
Seeing this, the Goko brothers gasped, followed the wall of the corridor in a crab step, walked to the staircase on the left, heard a few more bangs, and then were surprised to find that the remaining three local policemen were also sitting side by side on the stairs and fell asleep.
The encirclement and suppression of four heavily armed police officers ended before it began.
The two followed Dean swaggeringly all the way to the front of the hotel RV with incredible ease.
"Is this magic?" Seth stared at Dean's back, feeling more and more that the other party was unfathomable, "Or superpowers?" ”
"My instincts have always been accurate, and I've saved our lives many times," Ricky warned with a solemn look at his brother, "and this instinct told me not to mess with this guy and take him to the bar honestly." ”
"When did you become a softie? Two and a half million points to give him like this? ”
Ricky thought of the guardian goddess mentioned by the other party, and always felt that he could help him a lot, "My life is saved, and I am not satisfied with half of the money?" Don't be too greedy, hurry, get in the car! ”
……
The yellow minivan left the Dewdrop Hotel along the road and headed for the Iron Bridge to the south.
The priest sat in front left and drove, while Scott and Katie sat on the couch at the back of the car, giving Dean all kinds of snacks as if they were offering treasures.
The Goko brothers fidgeted and stood in the middle of the RV, leaning against the entrance of the toilet, "Everyone, the crisis is not over yet, we are about to clear customs, and the border inspectors will let the car go before they pretend to be released, but now our faces are posted everywhere, and the border inspection is likely to go on the car for inspection, what should we do then?" Outside the port are all watchtowers and guns, and you will never be able to break through if you want to break through! ”
"Just go ahead, you two hide in the toilet first." Dean looked calmly at the long queue of cars waiting to pass the border in front of him.
A fluttering word, but inexplicably relieved everyone in the car, the Goko brothers honestly entered the toilet door.
"Fack, this stinks worse than a corpse that has been dried for three days! Did your family never clean up?
"I'm sorry," Scott outside the door looked happy with revenge, "I was frightened by you, I just had diarrhea in the car, and I ate too much beef yesterday." ”
"Naughty Asian boy!"
Two minutes later.
When the RV arrived at the iron bridge where customs clearance, a woman in a green uniform and a cap with the words "Border Patrol" written on it walked to the driver's seat of the station wagon, carrying a cardboard with a headshot of the Goko brothers on it, and every beard was clearly visible.
"What are you doing in Mexico?" The border guard looked up at Pastor Jacob who was driving,
"Family trip, see bullfighting." The pastor lied calmly without blinking, silently reciting God's forgiveness in his heart, and at the same time handed over his driver's license and various documents.
"How many of you are there?"
"Three, me and my daughter and son."
"Can the two of them come out?"
"No problem. Katie, Scott! ”
"It's coming!" The two siblings smiled and walked to the window under Dean's encouragement and suggestion, "Good afternoon, ma'am. ”
Katie smiled sweetly and handed the woman a milk candy, and the latter shook her head, but looking at the enthusiastic smiles of the young girl and boy, her originally tense face relaxed, and a smile bloomed in the corner of her eyes, showing the wanted man's drawing board,
"Have you seen these two guys?"
The three shook their heads.
"Well, I don't want to disturb your trip, but according to the rules, I'll have to get in the car and check it out."
The Goko brothers, who were pinching their noses in the toilet, were heartbroken when they heard this.
The smiles on Katie and Scott's cheeks stiffened at the window.
The priest nodded, "If necessary, you can come up and check." ”
The female border inspector turned her eyes on the faces of the three people, and then a cool breeze swept behind her neck, and a kind and moving voice echoed in her mind, and she shook her head sharply and changed her mind, "Forget it, don't waste time, I wish you a happy journey, go over." ”
She turned and walked to the next car.
Get!
The woman walked away, and the Goko brothers pushed open the toilet door, "That's what we said about teamwork!" ”
Dean swept calmly, and the two honestly sat back on the toilet and raised their hands.
The priest also grinned and took out a small flask of whiskey from the storage compartment next to the steering wheel and took a sip.
Scott put his chin on his father's left shoulder, "It's almost time to Mexico, if only Mom was there." ”
And Katie bit her lip and took this opportunity to say the long-buried question in her heart,
"Jacob, speaking of mom, I've always wondered, what really happened that night, was it really the car that hit the animal on the side of the road? Got an accident? ”
"Okay, Katie, Scott, my kids, it's all here, I don't want to hide it from you anymore," Jacob took his children's hands from left to right, "There weren't any animals on the road that night, it wasn't because I had a migraine and hit the wrong brakes, your mother and I got into an argument in the car, I didn't control the car, I ran off the road and overturned." ”
The old priest stared at the old face in the rearview mirror and said,
"I killed your mother, and I was guilty, so I quit my job as a pastor and began this treacherous road to redemption."
Scott and Katie's eyes widened with red eyes, and the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became gloomy and sad.
"Green light, drive!"
Dean interrupted the priest's confession, who took a deep breath and started the car,
Doodoo ......
With the sound of a brisk horn, the RV pulled into the border marked Mexico.
The wheels rubbed against the ground, rolling up a large area of yellow sand, and under the gradually westward sun, a vast and beautiful wasteland emerged from the horizon.
"Keep going, Pastor," Seth got Dean's permission and walked to the front of the car to show the way, "Drive onto another highway called Di Carlo, and drive left for a dozen more miles until you see a bar called Rulang!" ”
"Cheer up, guys! There's sweet rosemary, endless agave, the hottest chick in the world, and a lot of money! ”
