Under the incandescent lights in the hall of the police station.

The inside of the wooden door of the office was slammed by a group of killers, and Duang Duang rattled like a bloodthirsty devil storming the gates of hell, and he was about to get out.

Steve desperately pushed outside alone, and pushed the wooden door back with inhuman force, but he couldn't control all the areas, on the right side of the door, the glass window leading to the hall of the office clattered, and a chair flew out of the spilled glass slag, and then the middle-aged version of Jonathan, who was carrying a machete, poked out his upper body and smiled fiercely at everyone, revealing his white teeth.

"Stop him, don't let him in!" Steve yells,

Bang!

Catherine raised her hand and shot the man's head, and the bloody body got stuck in the window, and the upper body hung down the hall, blood mixed with brain pulp falling to the floor.

But this one died, and two more killers with sticks and guns pressed the corpses of their kind and crawled out, and took advantage of the situation to shoot Catherine in the chest.

Despite the protection of the bulletproof vest, the vertigo and severe pain of the bullet did not abate, and Catherine sat down to the ground screaming, but the hand that rose up before falling instinctively pulled the trigger and shot the gunman in the neck.

The only killer with a bat crawled into the hall, but before he could swing his bat, a mountain of charging figures was in front of him, and Barbara blushed and pushed a heavy two-person table and slammed into him, pushing him against the wall, and her upper body fell forward with inertia.

Barbara grabbed the ashtray on the table and slammed him on the back of the head, looking as fierce as a bear guarding a calf, Jonathan picked up the gun on the ground, pulled the trigger and killed him.

The three corpses turned into blue light and disappeared, and the invasion by the window temporarily stopped.

But the high school students didn't dare to stop to catch their breath, and quickly built a hill in front of the windows and wooden doors with tables and chairs, blocking the entrances to the two outside worlds.

Call... Suck...

"Katherine, are you alright?" Barbara approached the pale-faced Miss Reporter and glanced around again, and in a few seconds of fierce firefighting, all her companions were covered in hot sweat, and the muscles of her cheeks were stiff like sculptures.

"It's okay... It's just a little painful," Catherine frowned and rubbed her chest, "Everyone's not hurt, are they?" ”

"No," Steve wiped the sweat from his forehead, a weird smile squeezing into the corners of his mouth, "Do you feel it, after killing these bastards, it seems to be getting stronger." ”

Jonathan nodded excitedly and blankly, recalling the feeling after pulling the trigger just now, "There is a hot current rushing through my body, soothing fatigue and strengthening my strength, what is going on?" ”

"Bang!"

Their discussion was interrupted by the sound of a fierce exchange of fire, and behind the bunker table covered with bullet holes in the entrance of the police station, a black police officer was torn open by a bullet in the neck, and fell backwards in blood, groaning.

"Damn, Nick got shot, go get a guy to take him to the infirmary!"

With his back to the wall, Hope gave the order, and leaned out of the right gate like lightning, and at the same time raised the troll standing on his chest, and the troll knocked the killer who swung his knife several meters away.

Another small police officer took the opportunity to pout and drag Nick backwards, opening a bloody path on the ground. The high school students hurriedly stepped forward to help, and their eyes swept out of the door.

Under the moonlight, the black-pressed figures roared in unison, and the various weapons of knives, sticks, and guns in their hands reflected a terrifying cold light, like wolves that were so hungry that they lost their minds that they rushed to the door of the police station.

"Director, this group of devils can't be killed at all, I guess I'm going to die this time," Tom looked at the increasing number of attackers outside, touched the pendant on his chest and looked desperate, "If I die, help my wife apply for more pensions." ”

"Shut up, if you say this kind of frustration again, I will directly soak your wife and change your son's surname! Everyone, listen up, turn around and put on your glasses! Hope put on protective goggles, took off a flashbang from his waist and threw it far outside.

Click.

The extremely bright orange light shone through the dark road, and the killers outside the police station screamed and covered their eyes, their bodies unbalanced and fell to the ground, and some of them staggered in circles.

Da-da-da-da!

The officers took the opportunity to pick up submachine guns, pistols, and shotguns and fired a barrage of bullets, and the bullet storm emptied a large area, but the killers were endless, and when they fell, more came out of the air immediately.

……

The situation was critical, and the high school students persuaded the police officers in the infirmary to stop the bleeding of their comrades to get a pistol from the armory next door.

And then the ......

There was a screeching sound of cutting, and several chainsaws swirling with shiny serrations drilled out from behind the office door blocked by desks and chairs, cutting huge gaps in the planks and sticking out muscular arms.

"Fire, don't let them in!"

Catherine screams in fear and joins six high school students in emptying the magazine at the office door, sending off several killers behind the door in a splash of blood.

Then a stream of hidden power flew out of the corpses and poured into the bodies of the six high school students, their faces flushed, their bodies welled up with vigorous vitality, and tiredness and fear were swept away.

Their eyes intertwined, and their hearts all rose to realize that killing these killers would be of great benefit to them!

"Unstoppable!"

A roar erupted behind him, and a group of killers smashed through the doorway bunker with fire, knocking the officers to the ground.

The officers began to engage the enemy in random hand-to-hand combat, constantly blocking punches, kicks and weapons from all directions, but eventually the number of people was too small, and they were soon covered in blood and their strength faded.

The entrance line is broken.

The attackers pounced on six terrified high school students in a murderous manner.

……

And at the same time.

A dark shadow swept across the night sky at high speed.

Dean bat silently walked through the dark and dead street, and flew a hundred meters outside the Hawkins police station.

Seeing a black wave frantically pouring into the gate from afar, his face turned pale, and he stretched out his five fingers and closed them.

Brush—

The "shadow" flew into the air, and transparent telekinetic tentacles stretched out from its body, meandering and twisting towards the group of killers surrounding the police station.

In the hall, the killer figure huddled into a pile of high school students slammed into the body of the killer with teeth and claws, like a giant python entangled and dragged backwards, and strangely condensed patches of miserable white frost.

Not only them, but even the killer who pressed the police to the ground and abused them was also covered in ice, and was lifted into the air without resistance and flew to the empty playground outside the police station.

The tentacles of telekinesis dragged the "prey" demons to swing wildly, swinging out a sky of afterimages, squeezing towards the center with great force, and instantly squeezing the prey into a car-sized ball of blood, dripping and spinning in mid-air.

The blood cells exuded a black hole-like attraction, and the killers that emerged in the air were sucked in and crushed into slag as soon as they landed.

In just ten seconds, no new killers were born outside the entire Hawkins Police Station, and the blood cells visibly shrank and faded to the naked eye... Finally, it was completely annihilated in the air.

A hint flashed in front of Dean's eyes, and Shadow absorbed a large amount of soul essence, Shadow Lv3 (300→380/400)

Dean landed lightly and teleported into the police station, looking around, the floor, walls, tables and chairs were riddled with bullet holes and cracks from impact, as if they had been washed away by a tsunami.

The dozen or so policemen who were lying upside down all hung up and fell unconscious, and Hope was also not spared, but fortunately, with the protection of body armor and helmets, he still had half a life left.

Under the heavy protection of the police, a group of high school students and Catherine stood in a row with pale faces, covered in sweat but without obvious wounds.

"It's so dangerous, everyone is almost finished." Catherine rushed over and grabbed Dean's hand, her sweat-soaked cheeks covered in dust and mud.

Dean wiped the blood from her face and looked apologetically at the high school student, "Sorry I'm late, I was searching on a farm in the suburbs. ”

"It's only been three or four minutes, it's been very fast, and everyone is not injured, but the police officers..."

After two consecutive pursuits, the young faces of this group of high school students have a trace of calmness beyond their age under the baptism of blood and fire.

Dean also cooperated in a circle, injecting life energy into the police officers to stabilize the injuries and prevent them from deteriorating.

Nancy asked, "By the way, Dean, is there any news from the badge?" ”

Dean shook his head, "I've searched all the suspicious locations, but there are no clues. ”

"We've found a place." Jonathan uttered the speculation of the drive-in movie theater on the west side of town, and then gritted his teeth and said, "The badge must be found as soon as possible and it must be stopped, otherwise I don't know how many more people will be injured." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Dean's eyes, the creation of dreams was actually a movie, and it was really a wonderful fact.

His gaze swept over the crowd, "Catherine, you stay and wait for the ambulance, and then go to the hospital with the police officers." And the others, in order to avoid another attack on the badge, you come with me to the drive-in movie theater and find it! ”

……

After making arrangements, Dean quietly handled the police station surveillance, and then took six high school students to drive the Dodge car at the gate and set off to the west.

Along the way, Steve couldn't help but talk about his strange encounter, and deliberately puffed out a section of his biceps.

"After I killed an assailant before, it seems to have absorbed his power, Dean, do you know what this is all about?"

Jonathan touched his stomach and nodded, "I feel the same way, I didn't have abs, but now my abs are becoming obvious. ”

A group of people have shown their own benign changes.

Dean looked out the windshield at the deep moonlight and dead silence of the road, wondering if this should be the badge's staged reward for the trialist, but it was far from over.

Having said that, the badge appeared because of this group of high school students, they are qualified to know the truth, and Dean will not forcibly rob them of their opportunity because he wants to get the ability, "The badge is testing the six of you, and if you can pass the test, you can get some special powers." ”

Special powers?

The six high school students in the car were stunned for a moment, and then their faces became very exciting, and their eyes showed doubts and longing,

Jonathan stammered, "You mean superpowers?" Like Spider-Man and Superman? ”

"It's understandable, but at most, you can run a little harder, run faster, and you can't shoot cobwebs or fly." Dean looked at the crowd in the rearview mirror who were so excited that they almost jumped up, shook his head and poured a bucket of cold water, "The test is fatal, and no one knows how many 'yourself' you still need to kill, ten, a hundred?" If you want superpowers, you have to fight for your life. Whoever has faith, I take him with me to face the test of the badge. ”

Steve was visibly moved, but was grabbed by Nancy.

Others fell silent as they recalled their previous horrific experiences.

……

"It's the place."

The car passed through a white forest and arrived at a parking lot right next to the road, the so-called open-air drive-in cinema.

After Dean bought a movie ticket, he drove the car in and parked near the entrance so that he could run away at any time.

This wide field.

Under the light of the road spike lights, more than a dozen cars were parked sparsely, all of them parked very openly, and tacitly turned off the lights, quietly facing the huge silver screen erected in front of the parking lot, and a black-and-white movie was playing on the screen.

"In the past, there were hundreds of cars every time a movie was shown, and people with cars in several nearby towns basically came." Steve looked at the overly empty scene outside the car window and shook his head, "It's a pity that it's winter, and there was another murder of a bad nature last week, and there are so few guests." ”

"Look ahead," Barbara said through the window, looking at the flickering images in the distance, "Night of the Living Dead, a black-and-white horror film directed by Romero, a good movie. ”

"You've seen it?" Jonathan turned his head, turned on the car radio in his hand, and began to pick up the sound of the movie.

"Okay, Vince, hit him on the head, between the eyes!" Barbara imitated the lines and smiled happily, "This is the best movie of 1967!" ”

"I think so, too." Jonathan nodded heavily, looking at his confidant, "After a difficult adventure, it's not a good relaxation to enjoy a favorite movie. ”

"What's so boring about black and white," Steve shook his head, "it's not as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark." ”

"Okay, you guys obediently get in the car, I'll go look for the badge, and if anything goes wrong, you drive away immediately, understand?" Dean's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and sternly admonished,

"Okay, we understand."

"Jonathan, get in the driver's seat."

……

After Dean got out of the car, he slowly circled around the edge of the movie theater, and in the dim light, his body became shorter and stronger, and his face grew a beard, and he quickly turned into the appearance of Seth, the snake demon.

He summoned a life shield and ghost armor to wrap around his body, and the divine perspective scanned every inch of land and every car within a radius of 100 meters.

The parking lot covers a large area, but there are few cars, and the drivers are concentrating on watching movies, eating popcorn, and petting their dogs.

There are no anomalies.

When Dean walked in front of the big screen, the whole person stood still.

The system shook, and the progress jumped to 100 percent.

The stars twinkled in the sky, and under the light of the stars, five meters in front of the screen, a brass badge the size of a half-palm floated out of thin air on the top of the tip of the red ice cream cone.

It moves lightly up and down in small increments, facing the direction of the big screen, and enjoys the plot of Night of the Living Dead like any other guest in a car, even spinning in place for weeks because of the excitement of the plot.

From the outside, it was just a cold, hard, and old badge, but its liveliness and spirituality gave Dean a strong illusion that it was a living being, with human joys and sorrows, emotions and desires, and a kind of mystical power.

This force radiated outward, peeling off the surrounding space with ease like peeling off an orange peel, revealing a small crack in the pitch-black space like a ripple of water, one of which was chaotic, rippling with danger and unknown colors.

As if sensing that someone was peeking at him, the badge slowly turned his face and pointed his face at Dean, the sixteen runes embedded in the edge blinked like sixteen eyes, and the cross-shaped furrow in the center grinned to the sides to form a four-petaled mouth, and a lively and curious childlike voice came out of his mouth, "Finally meet, the ordinary person who interfered with my trials twice." ”

It was the first time Dean had seen such a strange thing, and his sharp eyes carefully examined the face of this strange badge, "A badge can actually speak, or is it a universal language?" ”

"You think only humans and animals have spirituality? Time and history can open the stone. The badge smiled slightly, "And the languages of the world are all related to the original, I have been buried in the original for hundreds of years, and I have absorbed a little fur." ”

Dean asked, "Why do you come to the eternal world to choose the inheritors instead of staying in the original place?" ”

The badge said wistfully, "Although the original is good, it is really lacking in imagination and emotion compared to the ordinary world, empty and monotonous. And the human beings of the ordinary world have a low start, but they have more potential, and can bring infinite possibilities to skills, such as you, you want it too, right? ”

"The beauty of the craft is hidden in my body." The badge's sixteen rune eyes sparkled, "You found me and seized a chance, as long as you dare to bet on your soul, you may get it." ”

"Come on, get me!"

The badge burrowed into the spatial rift around him, and appeared in the sky a mile away in the next second.

Dean chased after him.
