344. Set off together, the box of sickness
Dean felt the surge of life energy, tendons and tendons stretched, and his facial features and sixth senses sharpened.
Once again, a vivid vision flew out of Cepes's dissipated body, tearing open the rift and disappearing into the void, as if plundered by the mysterious and unknown forces of another world.
"Shadow has not been able to absorb a trace of soul essence, and Tsepesh's soul has returned to Beelzebub? Or was it absorbed by another being? β
If the former is easy to understand, most of the gods believers, after death, the soul will return to the gods.
But Dean's newly strengthened perception made him intuitively lean towards the second possibility, and then recalled Cepes's last statement about gods and prey.
"The gods can't make decisions either?"
"We're just prey, and who's the hunter?"
He couldn't help but feel that there was something incredibly powerful with deep malice entrenched in the depths of the Overworld, greedily watching over all the creatures born here, opening their bloody jaws and devouring them at their death, when they were at their weakest.
Dean looked around at the empty and gloomy upside-down world, pulled open the space node in front of him, and stepped in.
β¦β¦
Garnano town center.
Peter, who was hiding from the sun under the eaves of the convenience store, looked at the townspeople who were still sleeping not far away, and Sean, who was vigilantly staring at the broken church with a spear, and couldn't help but whisper to his companions,
"Don't stand there in a daze, run away, the breath of the witcher and the cepesh is gone, and they may have teleported somewhere else. There's never been a better time to escape, and to hell with Cepes and the Witcher! β
Monica's beautiful eyes behind her sunglasses looked at Peter deeply, "Where can you escape?" The Mark of the Lord of the Flies on our bodies was only temporarily suppressed, and after a day it recovered, and Cepes could easily sense our position and grab us back. Besides, the witcher is even more terrifying, and if he knows that we are not honest, we will not have the slightest chance of survival. β
"It's useless to stay," Peter said fearfully, grabbing Monica's soft little hand and tugging at it, "I can feel that the witchers don't want to let us go, because our hands are stained with the blood of innocents. Run, Monica, I swear you'll be in charge of everything from now on, just like the first three months, we're all on the same page! β
Monica smiled with a smile of relief when she heard this, but then the scene of Peter standing firmly beside Mina and Artemmons flashed to her mind.
The two vampires only lured them with the most rudimentary desires, and the young children threw themselves into their arms.
Monica didn't feel a pain in her heart and shook her head,
"It's late, I can't escape."
The words fell, and Meimu looked towards the center of the square.
Bright sunshine.
The young witcher jumped lightly out of the spatial passage and landed on the ground.
The originally bloated down jacket on the well-proportioned body was replaced by a clean and well-fitting suit, and there was not a single wound on the whole body, not even a speck of dust, as if it had just gone out for a walk.
"Kenny, I knew you were going to make it! How is it? Did Tsepes solve it? Sean, who was guarding the townspeople, breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him with a smile.
"Ahem... There is no more such vampire in the world, and the crisis in the town of Ganano is completely over. β
"Then we saved the lives of more than 500 townspeople, and accomplished an amazing deed!" Sean punched him in the chest in exhilaration, "We, oh no, you're a no-sung hero, even better than Superman and Spider-Man in the comics!" β
Dean stared at Sean's eyes and shook his head in a complicated tone, "Don't put a hat on my head, what I'm doing isn't necessarily a good thing, I'm just worried that if Cepesh continues, it will hurt the people I care about... Ahem..."
"Okay, you have the final say, will you get the townsfolk back now?"
"Let them sleep a little longer, and take care of the little things first."
There was an extra row of footprints in the snow, Dean led Sean to the two vampires, Monica took Peter back and turned her back against the cold stone wall, "Cepes is really dead?" β
"He can't continue to kill, now it's your turn..."Dean's gaze swept over his charming face and green face, his face was expressionless, and his black eyes were like a deep pool, which was suffocating.
"Are you going to kill me?" Peter's cheeks trembled, and his eyes were faintly red, like a condemned prisoner standing at the edge of the gallows.
"Did you consider the feelings of the innocents who were sleeping when you drained them?"
"But Mina tells us that we are doing good," Peter quibbled, "to let them escape the loneliness and sickness of old age into a peaceful eternity." β
"Do you really believe such a clumsy lie?" Dean pressed towards Peter step by step, and Monica bit her lip in front of Peter, her towering chest faced the person in front of her, her eyes were pleading, and she bent her knees slightly and almost knelt, "Kill me, I will bear all the sins in his place, I am willing to do anything to make amends, please." β
An invisible telekinesis intimidated the two of them, stopping their noise, and then cold eyes swept through their eyes, as if they had seen through the two souls, examining their past lives, and making an ultimate judgment,
"I'll give you an extra choice, die, or come with me."
Come with me.
As he spoke, the chilling pressure faded, and the two vampires breathed a sigh of relief drenched and exchanged a look of surprise beyond belief, "Where are you taking us, and where are you going?" β
"Midian..."
"Midian?" Monica's long eyelashes blinked, "But we're not nocturnal, and we didn't hear Midian's call. β
"You're monsters, that's enough, Midian's home to all monsters." Dean's voice changed, "It may also be your hell, a trial more terrifying than the sword mountain and the sea of fire awaits you." β
"No matter how difficult it is, if you can survive, you can do it." Monica stroked her chest with her face and breathed a sigh of relief,
"For the rest of the journey, everything is under my command, any action must be reported to me, if there is a violation, I can only kill you."
Monica and Peter bowed to him at the same time, "Of course, we will honor you as we respect the king, but I just hope you don't let us do things that are too violent and cruel like Cepes." β
Sean stepped out from behind Dean and said unhappily, "Kenny and Cepesz are like the South Pole and the North Pole, he will never take the initiative to do evil." β
"That's what I've always adhered to. By the way, what will we call you in the future? Monica cautiously stretched out her little black gauze glove hand to Dean with a little flattery,
"Call me Kenny, he's Shaun." Dean held it without thinking,
β¦β¦
"Man, are you really taking them with you?" Sean looked at his fellow vampires who were discussing in a whisper not far away, "They have killed so many innocent people and have not yet been punished as they deserve." β
"They represent the Lord of the Flies, the dependents of the sin of gluttony, and with them we gather gluttony, arrogance, jealousy... So I wanted to do an experiment and see the end result. As for punishment," Dean muttered, "you use the Celent rune every day to reinforce the Mark of the Lord of the Flies, and that's a punishment." β
Sean nodded.
β¦β¦
It was not until nine o'clock in the morning.
Next, the four of them opened the space passage and brought the more than 200 townspeople who had been sent to Quebec back to the town of Ganano, and then sent them to their respective homes to relieve the hypnosis.
Then he drove the battered Citroen and set out on the road from Ontario to the northwest.
β¦β¦
Sean is still diligently working as a driver, humming happily to the dynamic music on the car radio because of the feat of helping save a small town townsman not long ago.
Monica and Peter sat in the back row on the right side of the window to block the sunlight from the window, looking around curiously, occasionally casting admiring and fearful glances at Dean by the left door, like a mouse meeting a cat.
Dean ignored the sporadic visits, his mind sinking into the system.
Event "Evil Hidden in Ganano"
You've uncovered the truth about the town's successive deaths over the past two months - the vampire's night attack.
You've discovered the mastermind behind the vampire's operation, the vampire Zepesh, who believes in the Lord of the Flies.
After a long conversation with Cepes, you can't accept the other party's philosophy and choose to fight.
You eliminated Tepes, protected the town of Ganano, and halted his centuries-old campaign of destruction, greatly increasing the progress of events.
You have left Monica and Peter with two lives, and you are ready to take them to Midian, and the progress of the event will be slightly improved.

Increase this ability to increase its strength and unlock more branches.
(This option comes from Beelzebub, the Fly King, and is a big boost to the reward.) οΌ
C. Two-point free attribute points.
β¦β¦
A hint of surprise flashed in Dean's suddenly open eyes.
"Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies, has actually been brushed out."
This time there were only three options for the reward, and he didn't bother too much about it, excluding the alienated specialty ability.
"I choose B and C."
You have gained Psychic Sickness Box Lv0 and 2 Free Attribute Points.
For a moment, Dean's calm eyes were in a trance, and many hallucinations were generatedβpeople coughing, people vomiting blood, people with dull and distorted expressions, countless painful moans echoed between the sky and the earth, until the patients fell one by one, turning into rotten corpses, flesh and bones piled up into mountains, the world was bright red, and swarms of flies that obscured the sky swirled between the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.
And in the blink of an eye, this hellish scene was sucked into a small, delicate black magic box.
Dean picked it up with both hands.
With a thought, he used the Sickness Box on himself.
The symptoms of weakness, fever, chills, cough and other symptoms that remained in the body after the previous battle with Tsepeshi disappeared, and all the weakened attributes returned to their normal state.
And a stream of information flashed in Di'an - the box of disease absorbed the Black Death (plague): the Black Death is actually a virulent infectious disease transmitted by the plague bacillus pestis through rat fleas, which is widely prevalent among wild rodents, and human infection may appear fever, severe toxemia, lymphadenopathy, pneumonia, bleeding tendency, etc., which can be manifested as pneumonic plague, bubonic plague, sepsis plague and others...
Sickness Box lv0 (0β1/100).
"I absorbed my own disease, and immediately improved my proficiency a little, and the efficiency was not low, if the disease was spread?"
Dean glanced into the carriage, and Monica and Peter, who had been watching him, hurriedly looked away like they had eaten a caught cat.
"Discuss something, you two," Dean smiled in a friendly way, "accompany me to do an experiment?" β
Peter felt like a guinea pig being targeted by a mad scientist, clinging to the car door and ready to open it and escape.
"Don't be nervous, I need a few test subjects to try out the superpowers, the process may be a little uncomfortable, but it won't hurt your life, or leave any sequelae, you don't want to, I won't force it."
"I'm sorry, I'll just forget it." Peter shook his head cautiously,
Monica wiped the sweat from her forehead and handed her slender snow-white wrist over, "I'll cooperate with you, what should I do?" β
"Alright." Dean's right hand touched the back of the female vampire's hand like lightning, "If you feel any discomfort, tell me immediately." β
"I'm already feeling a little weak, my physical fitness is weakened about... One tenth," Monica frowned, stroking her chest with her right hand and touching her neck with her left hand, tightening her eyebrows, "a strange heat reached my lymph nodes, and I was a little dizzy... Ahem..."
Dean listened to the female vampire's lark-like voice, nodded in gratitude, and then added 2 free attribute points to agility.
Sensitivity: 25.6β26.6.
The skin under the suit tightens further inward, the body shape visibly becomes more lean, and the influence of wind resistance on the body continues to weaken.
Response, speed, and balance have been greatly improved.
Coupled with the 1 point of agility that the supernatural hunter absorbed before, Dean has increased a total of 2 points of sensitivity, representing 2 melee attributes, and the explosive power of life energy has increased from 160 tons to 180 tons.
After the sublimation of life and the four-fold increase of the destruction form, the ultimate explosive power has increased from 820 tons to 900 tons, and continues to approach the power of 1,000 tons of TNT explosion.
