Dean entered the front yard of the hotel and saw that the crowd had split into three waves.

The Katie siblings, whose eyes were red and swollen like peaches, sat on the bench on the left, discussing their father's funeral, Professor Aiden and Patrolman Gonzalez discussing the effects of sunlight on the basilisk, and Ricky was flattering Santanica, regardless of Seth's disdainful expression.

The queen wore a pair of toad glasses to cover half of her delicate face, revealing only a pointed chin and a touch of flaming red lips, red hair hanging down her shoulders, and her skirt was replaced by a black slim leather jacket and retro-style jeans, which modified her perfect leg line, looking stylish and individual, not at all like an old woman born hundreds of years ago.

Dean assured that with her figure and temperament, she would have at least 90 percent of her head turn on the street.

"You're finally out, man!" Seth hurriedly greeted him, his eyes swept between Dean and Lena, and said with a smile, "Congratulations on your family reunion." ”

"Thank you."

"Dean, what's next? I want to go back to Texas tomorrow to see my wife and baby daughter, and by the way, continue to patrol," Gonzalez walked up, "I can't keep my job if I've been absent from work for too long." ”

"Become a snake demon and continue to be a patrolman?" Dean looked at him calmly, "I'll just ask you a question, what will you eat when you're hungry in the future?" ”

Without thinking, the patrolman replied, "Just like ordinary people, burgers, steaks, tacos..."

"That's not enough, although the snake demon can eat normal people's food, it can't quench hunger." Lena stepped out from behind Dean and explained to the crowd, "Unless we go into hibernation, we must eat the blood of intelligent beings every day, and if we don't drink it, we will become weaker and weaker, and our minds will become more and more confused, until we die, or we will go crazy and eat our friends and relatives around us." ”

As Lena said this, the bright sunlight seemed to suddenly hide behind the dark clouds.

Several snake demons plucked the cold in their hearts.

Katie glanced at her nervous brother beside her, gritted her teeth and asked, "What is an intelligent being, must it be a human?" Couldn't it be the blood of chickens, cows, dogs, etc.? ”

Santanica stood up and took over, "No, it has to be living human blood or humanoid blood." ”

Dean asked, "Is it okay to get blood bags in the hospital?" ”

"The blood in the bag, although it tastes terrible, can meet our daily needs." The queen explained, "But this is dead blood, without souls, and cannot fill the void in our souls." So we have to suck the fresh and delicious taste of rich life once every seven days, and suck up their souls. ”

"This is the price, we have inhuman strength, and we have to bear inhuman desires. The reason why the Blood Sacrifice Gang conducts blood sacrifices in the temple every month is not only to satisfy the phantom snakes, but also to fill the hunger of their own souls, otherwise they will go crazy. ”

"Even if you kill a person in seven days, it's an out-and-out serial killer." Seth had a calm face, "But I'm a thief, not a pervert!" ”

"I don't want to kill." Scott clenched his fists, the excitement of power in his heart completely cooled, and Katie grabbed his hand worriedly,

"Guys, that's one of the reasons I left you behind." Dean clapped his hands, retrieving everyone's attention, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Let's work together to find a way to solve the problem of the source of food and integrate into society safely and smoothly." ”

Everyone was relieved to hear this, and Seth couldn't help but be grateful, "Man, in fact, you have been a great favor for taking us out of the temple, there is no need to continue to waste time on us." ”

"It's not a help." Dean shook his head and said with a serious face, "I released you 5-headed snake demons, and I can't let you lose control and become bloodthirsty demons, endangering society and disrupting order." I'll put you on track and leave. ”

Lena nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Katie breathed a sigh of relief, her long eyelashes trembling, "Take the monster on the right path?" This is called the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, Spider-Man? ”

"Don't be fooled by appearances, little girl. He's a lot tougher than Peter Parker. Ricky shook his head and looked at Aiden, who had removed the revolver from his crotch, "Professor, you too, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with you, don't you go back to the university to continue teaching?" ”

The professor smiled at everyone, "I just started a new research project, and you snake demons are all my research subjects, so I'm going to stay." ”

Dean interrupted, "Alright, back to business. First of all, let's talk about the blood source that satisfies daily life, which is easy to solve, and it should be possible to buy it by spending money to go to the hospital or buy it on the black market. ”

"I—we're out of money." Katie raised her hand in embarrassment, "Jacob sold our old house on this trip, and the money was almost gone. ”

"I have 10 million bonds here. But Carlos is dead, and he didn't have time to exchange it for money," Dean directly took out the box of handbag bonds in the space and looked at Santanica, "Do you have a way to exchange it?" ”

The queen shook her head, "I've always been trapped in the temple and never cared about money. ”

"Our two brothers can try to exchange it with an old acquaintance." Seth and Ricky looked at Dean, "But the amount of exchange will be greatly discounted, and you will get seventy percent at most." ”

"Seventy percent is fine, take it for exchange, bring back cash bills, and don't worry about the source of funds for the time being." Dean threw the box directly to Seth, who couldn't help but ask, "Man, this is 10 million, aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?" ”

"Give it a try." Dean winked at Seth, "Heaven and hell will find you, too." ”

Seth smiled dryly, "Joke, don't take it seriously, I'm a thief, but I never betray my companions when it comes to principles." I made a phone call, and in a week at most, was able to settle the deal. ”

Gonzalez crossed his hands and frowned, "When I discuss sinful money transactions in front of me?" ”

"What sin?" Ricky glanced at him, "Don't be so hypocritical. It's all come to this point, you've already gotten on our thief ship, and you're still putting up a spectrum. ”

"Who is your accomplice?" Gonzalez rolled up his sleeves, "Earl's blood debt hasn't been counted yet, now counted?" ”

"Quiet, Officer Gonzalez, if you want to go back to see your wife and daughter safely, instead of going crazy and biting them, just listen to me." Dean stopped the argument with a simple sentence, "Let's talk about the most important item, how to get the weekly blood alive." ”

Everyone's expressions were stunned.

The Queen of the Night cheered up very much,

Dean circled around everyone, "I know, not so long ago, you were just ordinary people, aspiring to killing, let alone sucking blood, but you had to suck blood to survive. ”

"If you endure not eating, and wait for the bloodthirsty desire to accumulate to a critical point, it will break your sanity like a wild horse on the loose, and cause even more tragic consequences."

"Instead of enduring it to get out of control, it's better to train in advance, pick targets, hunt, and then channel desires and control yourself,"

"Wait, Dean, are you serious?" Scott looked incredulous, "You alone taught us a group of snake demons to hunt humans?" It's as if talking about some kind of cargo. ”

This simply subverted his impression of the man in front of him,

"I don't just kill monsters, I kill people too, and I kill more than all the friends you know combined, but I choose to be very particular about the targets." Dean looked at this head snake demon, just like looking at the werewolf Kaiden, who had not long awakened from the wild, with an ignorant and youthful face, "First of all, ordinary people and innocents who are honest and responsible are excluded, pregnant women are not chosen, and children are not chosen..."

"See, the only targets left are the most vicious murderers, gangsters, drug dealers, and gangsters who have done all the bad things..."Dean looked at the Goko brothers,

"Once again, I'm officially announcing that Ricky Kim and I have washed our hands," Seth threw up his hands in surrender as if he were electrocuted, "never rob again, please don't target us." ”

"Remember your promises." Dean nodded and explained more tactfully, "Killing these unprincipled, immoral, and psychopathic criminals is equivalent to maintaining social order and tinkering with the world, which is similar to the work of the police." Is it too much for you to get a little blood and soul in return? ”

Gonzalez, a serious police officer, fell silent when he heard this.

The repulsion on Scott's face was significantly weakened, and his expression was excited, "Yes, if you have to kill people and suck blood, it must be to kill the bad guy!" The snake demon can also be a vigilante and be a hero! ”

"Put away your heroic dream, that's also murder, it's illegal," Katie clenched her fingers, her sweet face full of confusion,

"Why should supernatural beings think about too many rules?" Dean said with a sparse face, "Don't violate the bottom line of human nature, just abide by the principles." Ladies and gentlemen, if there is no objection, what about the division of labor? ”

No one objected.

Lena looked at Dean who was giving orders, and only felt strange, which was completely different from the son she remembered.

But Dean didn't see her eyes and quickly made arrangements, "Seth, Ricky, go solve the bond exchange problem." ”

Seth put away his faceless expression and shook his handbag, "Wait for our good news." ”

Dean took out ten bundles of American knives and handed them to the red-haired professor, "Aiden, Gonzalez, go to the local hospital clinic to see if you can buy blood bags, and if you have the chance, try to buy as many as possible for the last few days." ”

"No problem."

"Scott, Katie, stay and watch the house."

"Wait, Dean." Katie pursed her lips suddenly, "Jacob's body can't be preserved for long, can I take him back to my hometown for burial first?" ”

"You can't leave just yet." Dean turned to room 126 opposite, and God's perspective locked on a black body bag in the corner, and a large piece of crystal white frost suddenly appeared on the bag, and the whole thing turned into an ice lump, "Okay, I'll freeze Jacob." ”

“……”

Dean finally looked at Lena and the Night Queen, "You guys come with me to find the right 'target'. It's the Texas-Mexico border, the world of cartels and gangsters, and it's not hard to find some criminals and bastards. ”

The Queen of the Night nodded, keenly caught a word, and sighed softly, "The U.S.-Mexico border? When I was converted hundreds of years ago, Texas was still Mexico, and the United States did not exist. ”

Seth's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he looked at Ricky, "Hear me, she's older than our grandmother's grandmother, are you sure you like this kind of old woman." ”

Ricky's face stiffened.

"No kidding." Dean emphasized, "Everyone, go back to the hotel before twelve o'clock tonight after finishing your business, or I will go to you myself." ”

……

Then everyone split up.

Lena affectionately took Dean in her left hand and her good sister Santanica in her right hand and left the hotel and walked out into the street, looking around.

Although Juarez is only a small border town, it has attracted many Americans to open various factories because of the bonded policy, so people from poor rural villages on the border of Mexico have come here to work here to provide cheap labor for these American factory owners.

With a population of more than 500,000, the city is densely populated with low and simple dwellings, and the population has been growing rapidly in recent years.

"Lena, you're not exaggerating at all, any house on this street is more spacious, luxurious, and sturdy than the house of our tribal leader back then." Santanica's face was full of curiosity, a world that had been separated for hundreds of years, and she was dazzled by all kinds of new things.

Lena stroked the red hair on her sideburns with a smile, "Juarez's architecture is very average in the whole world, if you have the opportunity to go to New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other big cities to see high-rise buildings, you will really open your eyes." ”

"I will definitely go." Santanica took off her sunglasses to reveal her eyes, which were bloodshot, "I watched what was called a television in my room all morning, and the world was indeed turned upside down compared to what it used to be. ”

"Queen of the Night, how long have you been in the temple?" Dean stopped at a telephone pole and swept his gaze over the faces of the two women, Santanica lived for hundreds of years, but with Lena, who was in her thirties, she looked younger and more beautiful,

"I don't know exactly how long it was, but when I first entered the temple, the Aztec Empire hadn't yet fallen." The Queen of the Night said softly, "By the way, you killed the Phantom Serpent and freed me from bondage, you are my benefactor, you can call me Elsa." ”

"Okay, Elsa." Dean groaned, "So, you've been locked up for at least four hundred years, five hundred years?" ”

"Well, I remember that decades after entering the temple, Carlos went north to explore the land of Mexico and joined the Blood Sacrifice Gang for immortality, under the command of Hernán Cortez, an adventurer who invaded Mexico on behalf of Spain."

"And this kind of origin, then Carlos, the invader, died too cheaply." Dean suddenly said, "By the way, before you were transformed, was your real identity just an ordinary girl?" ”

Aisha shook her red hair lightly, "Not ordinary, I was born at the dawn of the sacred cycle, when the stars and the sun were aligned, and the high priest of our tribe believed that I had some connection with the god of the night, and honored me as the goddess of the night, enshrined me in a temple, and offered me gems and flowers. ”

"Think of you as a saint?"

"Well, from the time I was born until I was eighteen years old, I received many offerings and also had a group of believers." Aisha paused, and her gaze turned to the two towering cathedrals in the distance, painted with ornate stained glass windows, "The Blood Sacrifice Gang has found me, forced me to become the lover of the snake god, and used my influence to recruit followers for the phantom snake. I didn't promise to run away. ”

"They threw me into the temple and turned me into a basilisk and a prisoner at the same time." Aisha's eyes were full of hatred, "They brainwashed me, trained me to dance, and asked me to teach other girls. In recent centuries, we have danced for the Blood Sacrifice Gang, bringing lost, confused, and desperate blood and souls. And the reward I receive is eternal humiliation and pain, until you set me free. ”

Dean finally understood why the queen would kill the Phantasmagora Snake as soon as it died.

After dancing for hundreds of years, this kind of torture and pain may surpass hell, and anyone will be angry and crazy.

"It's all over, Elsa... No one can force you now," Lena soothed her back, her expression comforting her daughter, "you're free, you can go wherever you want." ”

"Well, I have a request, since we're looking for the most vicious criminals, can you find all of Juarez's striptease clubs first?" Aisha hugged Lena tightly and looked at Dean, her long eyelashes blinking, "I've experienced the filth of it. ”

Dean looked up at the gray weather, "No problem, but you have to change your clothes, don't be so conspicuous." ”
