The night passed, and the blood, howls, and death of the previous night seemed like nothing more than a distant nightmare.

Dean zero gravity slightly suspended on the driver's seat of the old Citroen he had just bought, looking at Sean in the rearview mirror and comforting,

"Don't be too sad, man, this is not a farewell, and when you learn to control your bestiality, after the Midian's experience, you can return to Boston to reunite with your family and Elena. The brief separation is just for a better reunion later. ”

"No, I'm just a little unaccustomed," Sean looked at Dean's calm face, thinking of the other party's previous selfless help, confirming that he was trustworthy, and said calmly, "I have been going to school and working step by step since I was a child, I have been a ticket inspector for seven or eight years, and I have been to many places with the train, but I have never stayed in the field for more than a week, I have never even really traveled once, every day except for work is work, this time it will take at least a few months, right?" ”

"Almost, you're an honest man, too."

"Honest? It's boring. Sean looked out the window at the retreating spruce trees, and a look of self-deprecation appeared on his face, which was several years younger, "I've tried to date girls before, but it never worked, and they all thought I was boring and weak. The supervisor often trained me to the point of blood, and I didn't dare to say a word, and the guests in the carriage made it difficult and insulted me, and I could only endure it, even Elena looked down on me before. ”

Dean shook his head, "Last night's Ling didn't lack courage, so you were bullied before, but you were just content with the status quo, suppressed the true emotions in your heart, and didn't want to make too many changes." ”

Depressed heart?

Sean was thoughtful.

A gleam flashed in Dean's narrowed eyes, and he added meaningfully, "You've lived by the rules all your life, while those who bully you live outside the rules, above morality and the law." Now you don't have to worry so much anymore, you're not human anymore, whoever bullies you, you can be fair to a tooth for a tooth, as long as it's done covertly enough. ”

Not human.

Sean's relaxed body tensed suddenly, not daring to continue the topic, instinctively changing the subject, "By the way, Mr. Kenny, how can you take out so much money casually?" Elena plus my family spent a total of 100,000 dollars, and I may not be able to save such a large amount of money after working for 20 years, and there is no time to repay the money. ”

Dean tugged at the corners of his mouth and shook his head magnificently, "You don't have to pay it back, I'll give it to you." For an outlier like us, this is not a lot of money, after all, someone automatically sends money to the door. ”

"What do you mean?"

"There is a chance to take you to 'earn money'." Dean smiled, copied a piece of bloody raw beef of more than five pounds from the space with his left hand, and took a copy of the information from the co-pilot with his right hand and threw it back, "Take advantage of the rush time to see the basic information of Paphra and Midian, and exercise concentration by the way." ”

"Hiss..."

Sean stuck out his tongue and stared at the beef, showing signs of madness again, but he remained in human form due to Dean's terrifying intimidation.

"Calm down, they're all yours, but I'll make a rule to stay in human form during eating."

"Shhhh Roar... Good. ”

Dean threw his things back in the back row, listened to the sound of flipping books and the sound of snorting gnawing, and shifted his attention to the shoal, and said in his heart, "How much progress have you made in condensing your skills?" ”

"Seventeen percent," Shoals replied honestly, "are ordinary people, and no matter how excited they are, they provide limited 'nutrition'. ”

"That's not bad." Dean nodded, and the conversation changed, "Last night, you were asked to protect four people, but you missed the most important Sean, and your performance was disappointing, and you have to accept punishment." ”

"Don't, master!" The shallow beach immediately rolled against his trouser pocket, sobbing with immature sobs, like a child who was beaten by his father, "I only have level 2 level of telekinesis, and with the dagger you gave me, it is equivalent to level 3 at most, to protect four people against a group of werewolves, I have exhausted all my strength, master." Don't punish me... Woo..."

"Don't pretend, your acting skills are so bad that you can't cry a single tear."

"I'm sorry, I didn't have tears at all. But don't human beings like to sympathize with the weak, don't you see that I am not weak? "Sixteen copper-colored eyes in the shallow shallow twinkle, but no eyelashes.

"Pretend to be someone, forget it, this punishment will be waived. Double the penalty next time. ”

"Hee-hee, the master is the best."

……

Boston is just over 200 kilometers from the shores of Long Lake in southern Maine, between the towns of Stone Ridge and Bridge.

Arrive before noon.

Dean directly asked Ying to drive.

I continued to exercise the gravity method, and by the way, I took out a large amount of werewolf blood collected last night, swallowed it in my mouth, and launched a licking memory to explore the root of the birth of the werewolf.

Looking at the space, a large number of scattered memories of the werewolves before their lives swept through their minds.

One of the first to be born was originally a hunter in the elk forest, who was attacked and bitten by a black shadow while hunting in the forest more than two months ago.

Then in less than an hour it turned into the first werewolf and began to wander the forest, attacking other anglers, tourists, and hunters who entered it.

Werewolves have grown dramatically, and animals in the forest have been killed in an exterminating manner.

When the animals were unable to satisfy the werewolves' appetites, they instinctively reached out to the trains passing by the forest railway.

Last night was their first attack, and they were wiped out by Dean.

In the memory of all the werewolves, there is basically no impression of the first transformed mother, only that the other party left the elk forest immediately after an attack and headed north.

Dean could only skip the suspected nocturnal werewolf mother for the time being.

But the Omen specialty gave him a strong sense that he would see this guy again sooner or later.

……

As it approached noon, Dean took the ramp on the left along the highway and entered the middle of the town of Bridges and Rocky Ridge in southern Maine, where the weather was getting colder and colder, and the snow blowing through the windows was like ice slag hitting his cheeks.

The snow was so thick that it could not be dissolved, like an unfathomable stasis in a quarry, and the sky was thick and turbid.

Dean relied on God's perspective within a range of 200 meters to ensure that he would not collide with an oncoming car.

In addition, not long along the road, he found a heavily guarded area like a military base, not far from the "Shiling Town" sign, surrounded by barbed wire, power lines, and densely packed guard towers and monitors.

But now, under the influence of the blizzard, a pine tree fell, crushing a telephone pole outside the high wall, and the pole was wrapped in a pile of wires covered in frost.

A camouflage-colored armored car was parked next to it, and several heavily armed soldiers were rushing to make repairs.

"How is this military area in Shiling Town a bit like the National Energy Laboratory in Hawkins," Dean said,

But he didn't look into it for the time being, and this time he came mainly to find Mrs. Carmody in Pier Town.

Dean drove slowly forward into Bridge Pier Town, because the snow on the road was getting slower and slower, he simply used his telekinesis to push the cart against the snow, pretending to turn the steering wheel, and now with the action of 100 tons of telekinesis, the cart was as easy as playing with a toy car.

Qiaodun Town is famous for having many stone bridges leading to Changhu Lake, but unfortunately it is now in the harsh winter, and the lake is frozen for ten miles, so you can't see the wonderful scenery of the stone bridge reflected in the water and people walking on the bridge for the time being, but it should be fully built.

The shopping mall, the pharmacy, and the federal supermarket are all small, and through the large glass walls of the supermarket, Dean can see the sparse townspeople inside.

Like squirrels, they stocked up on abundant food for the winter, and the snow did not stop the enthusiasm for this purchase.

In the summer, many outsiders will flock to rent villas on the shore of Changhu Lake next to Qiaodun Town to escape the heat, and the supermarket will be crowded with people again.

Dean quickly parked his car next to a popular restaurant.

"It's time to get there, man, eat something and see." Dean opened the car door and walked towards the door of the restaurant, Sean wiped the blood from his mouth and followed along.

The information about Baphra recorded in these materials is very basic and not a big deal for Dean, but for a newcomer like Sean, who has just stepped into the supernatural world, it is like seeing the myths in the Bible become reality.

Sitting all the way to the corner of the restaurant, he had a faint shock on his face.

"Welcome, I'm Lucia." A blonde waitress greeted her with a warm smile on her beautiful and energetic face, "The two faces are very raw, are they tourists from out of town?"

Dean nodded, "Any good specialties to recommend?" ”

"You didn't come at the right time, from June to November, you can taste delicious, meaty lobsters and crabs, and now, two steaks, rainbow trout with lemon cream, oysters, two craft beers made from local wheat... What do you think? ”

"No problem," Dean smiled and glanced at Sean, "We eat a lot of food, we have six portions of the dishes you just mentioned, and the steak is one point cooked, but the beer is still the same." ”

"Okay, please wait."

Lucia felt a generous tip, smiled and swayed her plump ass, and walked away with a bent step.

When Sean heard "as soon as he matured", the picture of bloody meat and juice flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and immediately shifted his attention and asked, "I have a question after reading these materials, why did Midian summon us 'monsters'?" ”

"To be honest, I don't know exactly why, I can only guess that Baph needs us to help it achieve some kind of purpose." Dean looked around, and at lunchtime, there were quite a few guests dining in the hall, but they were all white.

Because the weather in the northeast of Maine is too cold, the black brothers are not frost-resistant, so they don't like to settle here.

Dean hadn't seen a black man since he entered the state.

"As dangerous as it sounds, why do we have to send it to Midian? Can't you hide from the call of Baphren? Sean asked apprehensively, panicking at the thought of the pile of blue-faced fanged humanoid monsters.

"If we don't go, other nocturnal species will come to the door sooner or later, and it will cause results that you can't afford when the time comes." Dean said in a deep voice, "So let's go to this town first, find someone to understand the weaknesses of Midian and the nocturnal species, and be fully prepared." ”

"Understood."

"Your food has arrived." The waitress smiled and put the steak and oysters on the table, the smile on her face suddenly froze, her red lips widened, and she looked stupidly in front of her—

Sean at the dining table smelled the smell of blood close at hand, his eyes emitted green light, and he directly grabbed a piece of steak on the plate with his hand, swallowed it in a big gulp, and made a snorting noise while gnawing, and in five seconds, he finished solving a steak in a hurry.

Immediately reached out and grabbed the next piece.

If Dean hadn't let Sean eat a lot of flesh and blood in advance, he would most likely have recovered his terrifying snake wolf form by now.

Even so.

His savage-like rudeness also caused the waiter to crash on the spot, and the guests at the next table cast surprised glances, like watching a circus performance, calling God and Jesus.

"Sorry, we drove all the way from Ohio, and we were in a hurry, we didn't have much to eat, and it's rare to come across such a delicious and juicy steak," Dean smiled and gave Sean a hint of a look, and the latter's urgent movements suddenly slowed, "so he lost some of his temper." ”

Lucia covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm glad you like the food." ”

"By the way, Lucia... You're a local, right? ”

"Well, the native bridge pier people, is there anything you need help with?" Lucia tried to take her eyes off Sean, who was feasting next to her,

"I'd like to ask you someone," Dean scooped a piece of pie with a spoon and took a sip, the aromas of cream, mint, and beets mixed together, but not too sweet, perfect for his taste, "do you know Mrs. Carmody?" ”

The last time he read the information from William White's memory, all he could read was the approximate appearance, clothing, address, and information that was not detailed enough, and he couldn't search for it in the dark domain of his mind.

Lucia wiped her hands with her apron, and her face became very strange, as if she had heard some funny character,

"Do you mean the chubby old lady who likes to wear bright orange pants, Kamody?"

"Yes, that's her, is there anything special about her?" Dean looked into Lucia's eyes and sucked three oysters in one gulp,

"Camody is a celebrity in town who has many folk remedies and knows a lot of mysterious rumors. For example, tree sap can reduce swelling, count the number of circles on the caterpillar in June, or measure the thickness of the honeycomb in August, you can predict whether this winter will be warm or cold, for example, there are monsters living in the long lake that cannot be seen by the human eye... You can go to her for treatment for any illness, because she can prescribe medicine in the name of God,..." Lucia couldn't help but giggle as she spoke, and a spectacular arc rippled in front of her black shirt, apparently only treating these remedies as a joke,

Dean picked up a piece of steak and nibbled on it, his movements graceful, not a drop of oil stains on the corner of his mouth, but his speed was no slower than that of Sean, "So she's the doctor in Pier Town?" ”

"Half a doctor, she also opened a 'bridge pier antique shop', which is next to the pharmacy a kilometer north of the restaurant, selling all kinds of strange things, which is also open now."

Lucia took a deep breath to suppress her smile and looked at Dean sincerely and advised, "By the way, distinguished guests, please pay attention, the antiques that Carmody said are not necessarily real antiques, take care of your wallets." ”

The image of an old lady who was abducted and deceived was completely formed in Dean's mind, "Kind and beautiful lady, thank you for your warning, I remember." ”

"Hiccup," Shaun on the other side put down his depleted beer glass and touched his round belly contentedly, "I'm full, man." ”

Dean wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth and pointed to the dozen or so plates on the table, "Then settle the bill." ”

……

Soon after, Lucia took a huge tip of two hundred dollars, and her eyes were red and sent the two to the door of the restaurant, where they were handed the tattered Citroen, and when the other party closed the door, she almost couldn't help but leave a small note for the handsome and generous Mexican brother, but finally she couldn't help but think of the children in the family.

"Now Wanda's birthday present is here."

……

"I'm sorry, Kenny, I ate a little too much," Sean in the back seat of the car said embarrassedly, "I can't control my craving for flesh." ”

"It's better to eat more and eat beef with an open belly than to eat people, and there's an old saying in the East that it's better to be blocked than to be sparse," Dean said, "and it's better to indulge your desires once in a while than to suppress them all the time." ”

In less than five minutes, the car saw the sign of "Bridge Pier Antique Shop" in the distance.

Dean pulled over to the side of the road and walked over with Sean.
