The bright light tends to soften, and the orange sunset sinks into the horizon.

Dean returned to Jonathan's house in the suburbs with his five children, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard an urgent phone ringing, and Will hurriedly ran over to pick up the microphone.

"Joyce?"

"Will, where are you going? I made several calls and no one answered! A woman's relieved voice and hysterical questioning came from the phone,

Will looked at Dean and said vaguely when he saw the other party's index finger on his lips, "I'll ask Dustin for them to help find my brother..."

"Please, baby, don't run around! Jonathan hasn't been found yet, and if something happens to you again, I don't know what to do! ”

"Okay, I promise!"

"I'll stay at the police station a little longer before I can come back, there's dinner in the fridge, can you prepare it yourself?"

……

"Mrs. Joyce is terrible, like an erupting volcano." Dustin patted his chest and said, "It's still my mom gentle." ”

Mike immediately retorted, "If you go missing, I can guarantee that your mother will be even more crazy than Joyce, and maybe pull out the hair of your mischievous cat." ”

Dustin shook his head, "That's impossible, she raised Meowth as a child." ”

"Alright, be quiet, get down to business." Dean walked through the hallway, turning on his skills to monitor the nodes in the room,

"Don't look for it, Jonathan is here." Jane took his hand and ran to the bedroom, pointing to the wall.

But Dean opened his skills and swept away, the spatial nodes were as vast as a sky full of stars, and there were hundreds of unstable nodes among them, and Dean had no way to determine which ones were leading to the upside-down world, and which ones were pointing to the endless void.

You can only try your luck.

He instinctively chooses a node, and swipes his hands from top to bottom, like unzipping a tracksuit, to create a gap two meters long and one meter wide that can accommodate adults to pass through.

The five children immediately opened their mouths wide like funny wax figures

Dustin excitedly sucked a mouthful of baby teeth, "Is it a starry sky here, Black Winter?" ”

Lucas was as serious as a scientist, "Don't you think it's dangerous?" It's like a monster's gaping mouth. ”

Mike looked at Jane, "So dangerous, Jonathan is really in there?" ”

Jane's eyebrows condensed into caterpillars and shook her head, "This is different from the place I saw, not the world upside down. ”

Will couldn't help but throw his head into the crack and shout,

"Jonathan! Can you hear me? ”

"He's not in there."

Dean reached out and closed the crack leading to the void, and with a flicker of his gaze, he picked out the second node again, opened it, and cycled in turn...

But his luck was not good, and he opened five spatial cracks in the bedroom in a row, consuming nearly half of the energy in his body, and all he found were cracks leading to the void.

However, the ability is slightly increased - skill lv 0 (3→4/100)

Seeing the distressed look of his master, the shallow beach hidden in his pocket immediately used his rich experience to solve the problem, "You didn't look for it from the coordinates of the world, so you gambled on luck to find it, and you couldn't find it ten times after using up your energy." You need someone to show you the way. ”

Dean raised an eyebrow, "Who?" ”

"Jonathan's brother Will, you can do this..."

After listening to this, Dean looked at the children with serious eyes, "We are only separated from Jonathan by a door that turns the world upside down, but the location of this door is very deep. There was a missing link between me and him to locate and could never be found. ”

"What do you mean by a link?" Will folded his hands in front of his chest and asked with a pale little face,

"A mutual induction, capable of transcending time and space." Dean stared into Will's eyes according to Shoal's explanation, and said slowly, "And you and Jonathan are brothers, and have a good relationship, and you are related by blood and have deep emotional bonds, maybe you can create this link." ”

As if inspired by something, Will trotted into Jonathan's bedroom, pulled out a tape of David Bowie's "Stranger Things in Space" from a drawer, and began to play, a fluid melody echoing throughout the house.

"Jonathan, can you hear me? This is our favorite song, and we sat on the edge of our bed together and listened to it five times just three nights ago! ”

"You asked me to keep it a secret, and then secretly revealed that you had a girl you like... But she doesn't like you..."

"Can you hear me? Answer me! ”

……

The melody of the pendulum is mixed with a childish roar.

The four children outside the bedroom exchanged a look with complicated expressions,

"Does this work? Two worlds apart, Jonathan can also hear music? ”

And Dean frowned, and in the perception of the skill, there was no change in the spatial nodes in the slightest.

"A one-sided connection isn't enough to affect planetime—" Shoal's voice rang in his head, "Will needs Jonathan's response, the two brothers have to talk to each other!" ”

Dean sat on the sofa in the living room, closed his eyes and entered the dark realm of his mind, searching for Jonathan.

In this dark realm, Dean's image is no different from the state of his soul, his body changing like a gas, radiating a brilliant color like an aurora.

Under the light of the aurora, he soon found Jonathan, dressed in a tattered down jacket and carrying a broken camera on his chest, in the sticky black fog.

The creature clasped his hands to his knees, his face was sickly pale, his eyes were bloodshot with terror, and he shivered nervously, as if there was great danger nearby.

In the dark realm of his mind, Dean couldn't help but shout at him,

"Jonathan, do something!"

"Respond to Will!"

Dean's past experience has proved that the dark realm of the mind has always been only used to search and observe targets, and even if he finds a target, he cannot talk or shake hands with the other party, and cannot make any substantive contact and communication, just like an insurmountable moat.

But after Dean shouted this time, he saw Jonathan suddenly stand up from the ground and look at the air around him suspiciously,

"Dean, are you talking?"

Dean was shocked when he heard this, what is the situation, the dark domain of his mind can suddenly talk to the target?

He continued to confirm with telekinesis,

"Can you hear me?"

"That's right! But where you are, I can't see you! Jonathan, in the dark, patted his temples in chagrin, "Am I hallucinating?" ”

"It's not an auditory hallucination, I'm in another world upside down with you, and you can't see me naturally. Can you feel it? Dean tried to reach out his colorful palm and pinch Jonathan's neck.

The latter immediately bared his teeth in pain, and a red mark was clearly visible on his white neck, "Who?" ”

Dean couldn't help but smile, and then gradually figured out the reason for the change in the dark domain in his mind.

The black domain of the mind is essentially a part of one's own soul and consciousness that is projected near the target from a long distance through the black domain for observation, which is the so-called telepathic transmission.

Therefore, when the projected soul power is weak, it can only be watched from the sidelines, and the strength increases, and it is natural to further make substantial contact with the target.

And Dean not long ago, his will and spirit both broke through 25 points, and his soul was greatly enhanced, and he was even able to leave his body at will and "go out of his body", and the dark domain of his mind was also strengthened, no, it was simply an epic evolution.

Di's peace of mind was flooded with inspiration in an instant.

In the future, the dark domain of the mind can not only be used to remotely search for the whereabouts of the target, but also to talk to the target and make physical contact.

It's the equivalent of having a remote communication machine that can never be tracked and spied on.

It also means that he can use the dark realm of his mind to communicate with friends and relatives anytime, anywhere.

He can even try to assassinate his target silently at a distance of thousands of miles, so that he will not leave the slightest trace of crime, which is seamless!

But for now, it's time to save Jonathan.

"Listen, Jonathan, we're going to get you out, but I don't know exactly where you are."

"Your brother Will is playing your favorite Stranger Things in Space, and he's talking to you."

"You have to do something to respond to him and strengthen the bond between your brothers! You have to pour out your feelings! ”

"Will?"

Dean saw Jonathan jerk to the dark space, where the walls seemed to be, and his hands thrashed,

"Will, I'm here! Are you and Joyce okay? ”

……

When Dean saw Jonathan begin to respond, he lifted the dark realm of his mind and returned to the real world.

His eyelids squirmed twice, and when they opened, an uncontrollable dizziness and a sense of weakness flooded in.

In front of his eyes, a large number of bright yellow ghosts appeared, people, furniture, lights... Everything became blurry, and the temples felt as if they had been repeatedly cut by a sharp knife, the pain was so painful that the cheeks were twisted, and the body was tense like spasms—the use of the dark realm of the mind to find people was an extremely mentally demanding task, but now with the addition of contact and conversation, the consumption has increased even more.

In just half a minute of communication between him and Jonathan, he has completely overdrawn his mental strength!

Dean endured the discomfort and looked at the 2 free attribute points that were retained in the system after the last upgrade, and added them evenly to the spirit and will.

Spirit: 25.3→25.8 (After 20 points, 2 free stats are increased by 1.) ）

Will: 25→25.5

Moment.

As if he was about to starve to death, he swallowed a piece of charred barbecue.

Nutrient-dense foods fill empty stomachs.

Satisfaction replaces the feeling of weakness that depletes mental power.

Dean sat up from the couch refreshed and looked up, and in the bedroom in front of him, Will was still fully engaged in shouting at the wall, as if there was a portrait of his brother on the coffee-colored wallpaper.

This quiet boy had probably never spoken for so long as he did today, and his voice was smoky and hoarse, which made Dustin's four friends feel distressed.

Since Joyce and Lonnie divorced a few years ago, Joyce has spent most of her time at work in order to earn money to support her family, working overtime at the supermarket except for Christmas, other holidays, and even birthdays. The little time left was spent on me. ”

"You can talk to her for less than five minutes a week."

"I can feel that you obviously want your mother's care and greetings, but you always hold everything in your heart, get up early and go out, and go directly to the store after school to work to subsidize the family... You seem to be deliberately avoiding Joyce. ”

"For a few years I couldn't figure out why."

"But I finally understood today, Jonathan—" Will sniffled, reaching for the wall as if to hold an invisible hand, "You're deliberately acting mature and good at taking care of yourself so that Joyce can focus more on me." ”

"You refused your mother's care for the sake of my weak brother."

"You didn't enjoy the care of your mother, and you slowly became a freak in the mouth of your classmates."

"But Jonathan, you know what, you're not a freak, you're the best brother in the world!"

"Please, don't leave me!"

"Come back!"

"Come back!"

Zizizi...

Will's crying echoed through the old house as if by magic, causing the lights to flicker erratically, the songs playing on the radio on choppy, and the hands of the wall clock in the living room to stop turning.

The shallows began to suck emotions like crazy.

In front of Dean's eyes, just outside the bedroom, among a large number of unstable nodes floating with white light, a small node danced lively, blooming in circles that were sometimes intense, sometimes faint.

It's like a fluctuation of the heart.

Dean reached out and pressed it gently, pouring in a tenth of the energy, and pulling it away—

A circular passage appeared in mid-air, and the back was no longer the same black, but coffee-colored wall coverings, carpets, dusty desk lamps, and telephones, corresponding to the living room where Dean was, but the two sides were like mirrors inside and out, and the decoration in the gap and the outside stood upside down on the ceiling, but did not fall.

"Will, I'm sorry, I won't leave you, I will never leave you!"

Jonathan's cry was heard,

"Jonathan! Come here! Dean shouted into the gap, and hurried footsteps rang out.

Dean saw a Jonathan running upside down in front of him, and immediately used his telekinesis to wrap through the passage, pulling him out of the upside-down world, and pulling the passage together like lightning.

Jonathan sat slumped on the carpet, looking at the familiar surroundings in a cold sweat, and turned to the kind smile in front of him,

"Dean, am I really back?"

"Welcome home, man!" Dean grabbed his hand and pulled him up, glanced at the system, and after rescuing Jonathan back to the real world, the progress of the event jumped to seventy.

"Jonathan!"

"Will!"

The boy in the bedroom stumbled out, his watermelon head flying in the wind, crying and pounced on Jonathan.

Jonathan embraced his brother with open arms,

"I'm back, Will, don't cry, I'm back!" Jonathan wiped the tears from the corners of his brother's eyes,

"Woo... Are you okay, where are you hurting? Will looked his brother's tattered clothes up and down with red eyes,

"No, it's just that my clothes are broken, and I didn't bleed a drop." Jonathan had a smile on his face for the rest of his life, puffed out his biceps, and was in good spirits.

Seeing this, Will turned his worries into joy.

Several of Dustin's children also came around and pulled Jonathan to celebrate and ask questions.

"Man, how does it feel to travel the world upside down?"

"Is it called the upside-down world in the hollow of the tree? That's pretty accurate. But I'd rather starve for a week than go in again," Jonathan took a glass of water from Will and slurped, then sat down on the couch and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's empty and dark, and there's soot floating in the air, and it's hard for me to inhale my lungs." ”

Lucas nodded, his big, round eyes showing admiration, "Anyway, you're a big hero!" You're the first person in human history to complete a plane journey, and you've escaped the monsters! ”

"Yes!" Jane added with a wink of big curious eyes, "I saw a monster chasing you, how did you escape?" ”

Jonathan nodded heavily, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, "After I was chased into a tree hole, the monster was gone... I thought I was still in the real world, I wanted to go home, but after running for a long time, a house that looked exactly like home suddenly appeared, so I hid in the bedroom and hid in the bedroom, but I didn't expect someone to come to save me. ”

Dean listened to his description and noticed that the progress of events was starting to slowly ramp up, "Wait, you didn't encounter any attacks on the way from the tree hole to the house?" ”

Dean was halfway through the run, but was 'warmly welcomed' by the Rip Monster in the burrow, and was almost attacked by a large spider.

"No, I think it's weird too," Jonathan said, gratefully squeezing his hand, "but man, you saved me again!" ”

"You can't just thank me," Dean patted him on the shoulder, looking at the group of kids around him, "These troublemakers almost built a collider to save you, but they were able to get you out." ”

"Thank you, no more words!" Dustin put his hands on Mike and Will's shoulders with open hands and grinned, "Who made you the brother of my good brother Will!" ”

Mike also quietly hooked up with Jane's shoulder on the left, "It turns out that as long as everyone is united, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome!" ”

Will smiled gratefully at his little friend, opened the refrigerator, took out a piece of bread and milk, and handed it over like a treasure.

"Jonathan, you haven't eaten for a day and a night, you're hungry, fill your stomach first."

"Hmm... I'm starving. ”

"By the way, we'll have to talk about it, and we'll explain it to Joyce later," Dustin suggested calmly as he sat down on the couch, "Those grown-ups have a poor imagination and won't believe what we're saying about turning the world upside down." ”

A group of children nodded frantically.

"Ahem, stay in the house first, don't run around." Dean turned his head to look out the window, and Shadow followed the insects on Jane's hat and flew out, and the people behind the tracking and spying on them finally closed the net.

"I'm out on some errands and I'll be back soon."

……

Calm down a bunch of kids.

Dean entered a bush outside the door, his cheeks wriggling and transforming into Seth, then soared into the air, following the insects from a short distance.

……

A few miles to the north, pine trees stood tall like steel, spreading their needle-like leaves and branches, shaking their silver-white crowns.

Under the canopy, Damien, who was wearing sunglasses in a flower shirt, reached forward and gently caught the flying insects, and in the faint black light, the flying insects dissolved into his body.

He closed his eyes and digested for a moment, and then opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with irrepressible fanaticism, as if he had won hundreds of millions of lottery tickets.

"There's a big surprise behind the 11th."

"Dean, Asian, is less than twenty years old, but he has extremely rare spatial superpowers, and he can open the rift in time and space with a single move, and establish a stable otherworldly channel, which is more powerful and valuable than 11."

The joy on Damien's face turned to deep jealousy, his "scout" perception was the most keen, just now far away, he sensed that Dean's body was so strong that it was terrifying vitality and spiritual power, like a humanoid giant beast, opening a powerful energy field, interfering with the surrounding space and energy all the time.

Damien was 100% sure that he couldn't even stand a punch from the other party.

"It's so terrifying, no wonder Dr. Brenner and the Suren people suffered such a big loss in the first place."

"At least three, no, four special teams must be contacted for support, and a net will be laid to 'persuade' this precious space capable."

After making up his mind, Damien was about to shift when a sudden uneasiness so strong that it was dizzy in his heart.

Suddenly, he entered the cold ice purgatory of more than 100 degrees below zero, freezing his soul and every drop of blood in his body.

Years of experience made Dami instantly aware of the problem -

Exposed!

Targeted!

He didn't have time to think about why the other party could find out, so he instinctively jumped into the air, his t-shirt radiated a round of black light like the moon, and then his body turned into a black warship bird, spreading his huge wings of more than four meters, swinging his forked tail and sweeping through the air, and sprinting out more than two hundred meters in an instant.

He used all his strength to fly into the orange sunset in front of him, and flew towards the escape route.

But the next second.

The bright light before Damien's eyes vanished in an instant, and the suffocating darkness of infinite darkness rushed towards him, and in this darkness a pair of swirls swirled, and the sparkling eyes firmly attracted his gaze, his soul.

Destroy his will.

Damien fainted without saying a word, his body stiffened in mid-air, and he fell like a kite with a broken string.

The bird's body transformed back into a human body in the blink of an eye, and it fell to a half-meter above the ground and levitated.

"It's so weak, I can't even withstand the blow of the Illusion Abyss."

Dean slowly fell to the man's side, staring at the handsome and unfamiliar face,

"Eavesdropping on so many of my secrets, and just walking away?"

Dean's eyes rolled, and he reined in the murderous intent and used his telekinesis to erect the unconscious man and pull his neck over.

Then Dean opened his mouth, and a black powerful snake came out of his mouth, hissing and spitting snake letters, squirming in mid-air, revealing two conical fangs, and then coiling his body to accumulate strength, spring-like shooting, biting the man's neck, and branding!
