Bright study.

By the curtain, the three captives were held in the air by the invisible black water created by the Illusion Abyss, and they fell into an endless nightmare with hideous faces, and wisps of negative black aura continued to merge into Dean's body not far away.

And Dean and his companions stared intently ahead, the narrow space near the desk, fists and kicks into the flesh, muffled snorts, broken bones echoed non-stop, large pieces of crystal sweat splashed into the air, and the two men were fighting to the death...

Decker's physical fitness and mental strength were limited by Dean, but as a member of the Special Operations Department, a pervert who loved to torture victims, he had experienced systematic combat training, and was not comparable to the kind of mechanic who only used brute force, and after a stalemate of less than half a minute, he pressed Boone to the ground, strangled Boone's neck like a cable in his left hand, strangled him into a red face and couldn't breathe, and twisted one of his wrists with his right hand to the point where it was about to break at 90 degrees.

In a bone-chilling pain, Boone pushed the carpet desperately with the strength of his knee, left hand, chest, abdomen, and jaw, trying to flip the man on his back, his struggle so crazy that he bit the corner of his mouth and spat and blood.

But he couldn't get out.

"Little cutie... I love to see your impotent and angry expression," Decker whispered in his ear as sharp as a knife, "and guess what, after I kill you, I'll go find your favorite Lori... Bring her and her family together and send them to join you! ”

"Lori! No, fuck off, mix ... Egg! Get lost! Boone's bloodshot eyes almost bulged out, his mouth hissed like a snake, and the blood in his brain bulged through his temples like thunder.

At this moment, the anger in his chest burned away what little reason he had left, leaving only the primitive and wild beastliness, breeding all kinds of illusions—

There was a thick fog around him, and there was a long buzzing sound.

The ancient cemetery parted its rusty iron gates in the night.

A man covered in spikes, a man with snake hair, a man with gills open and closed on his cheeks, a man with skin like pangolin scales... Monsters with both human and animal characteristics pounced on them, circling and jumping around Boone, shouting loudly.

A pair of eyes, like a war drum burning on one side.

A frenzied, passionate, flowing drumbeat of blood.

"Monster Paradise!"

"Trial of Blood!"

"Unleash your rage!"

"Push open the door!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Blood for blood!"

……

Dean and Sean, who were watching the battle, looked at each other at the same time, and the old poetry about Midian's ears echoed.

Immediately afterward, they saw Boone, who was strangled on the ground by Dr. Decker and was about to die, suddenly grin exaggeratedly and bite the other man's arm fiercely.

Tear pull –

Blood splattered, and Decker's left hand that strangled Boone instantly lost the size of a palm, revealing Sensen's white bones, and shrank like an electric shock.

"I'll kill you!"

Boone took the opportunity to roll over, red eyes, grinning blood-dripping teeth, and pressed the wailing Decker to the ground, leaning over like a wolf to bite open his trachea and arteries!

Blood spurted like a fountain all over Boone's head and face, and then splattered onto the ceiling.

The screams rang out of the study window and dispersed far into the night sky.

And Decker, who had recovered from the severe pain, also scuffled with him, poking his neck temples with his fingernails and tearing arteries with his teeth...

The two men seemed to have turned into two crazy beasts that had lost their minds, and in the scalp-numbing attack, flesh and blood splashed on the walls and desks, dyeing dark red "roses".

Five minutes.

The fierce fighting and screaming stopped.

The entire carpet was soaked in blood and turned a viscous dark red.

Two people lay side by side in a pool of blood, with a broken nose bridge, tooth loss, and torn neck and chest and abdomen on their deformed faces... The trachea and internal organs are exposed to the air, and there is not a single intact skin on the body.

In this bloody battle that was extremely cruel, there was no winner, and even so, the two pairs of eyes were still staring at each other.

Dr. Decker was full of unwillingness, almost, almost he was able to defeat the other party and live.

Boone's eyes showed a hearty after-battle pleasure, and the corners of his mouth grinned wantonly.

"Let's go to hell together!"

He rolled his gaze for a moment, and suddenly saw that all the monsters were surrounded by him, turning into raging flames, warming his body.

He fell into darkness in heavenly satisfaction and bliss.

Decker's trembling fingers paused, and his eyes widened and he lost his breath.

Brush –

A translucent, cool-faced Shodecker soul flew out of the corpse and flew towards the crack in the dark dome that opened up the light—the resting place for his soul prepared by the Department.

But as soon as it flew out of the window, a large crystal clear ice edge instantly appeared around it, and it was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Click.

The colorful shadow clenched into a fist.

Decker's soul ice sculpture shattered into slag and annihilated into nothingness.

Shadow has absorbed part of the soul essence, Shadow Lv5 (520→525/700)

Shadow turned his aurora-like eyes to the three remaining figures in the study, clicking.

It froze, crawled like porcelain and cracked, and then shattered into thousands of ice slags and splattered into the air, opening a white curtain.

The three bodies, along with the three souls, all disappeared.

Shadow Lv5 (525→540/700)

Dean has risen to the point where he is now, and the Special Operations Department is no longer able to snatch souls from him.

……

"Man, can you really do it?" Sean looked at the only one left in the study, who had lost his voice, and sighed, "In order to find the so-called Midian, you watched such a living life die in pain?" We can help him. ”

Monica and Peter also cast awe-inspiring glances at Dean.

Only Christine, clear eyes are still only the same support as always,

"Dead? No, he passed the Blood War Trial and was qualified to enter the door. Dean stared at Boone's corpse, a faint light of life lit up under the perspective of life, and it was growing rapidly, "Death is just a appearance, his body and mind are in the process of transformation... Let's wait in another place. ”

Dean casually put the four companions into the fantasy space, pulled open a node and stepped in, suddenly turned to the center of the study, and the other weak node began to shake, under the perspective of skills, he faintly saw a man in a black suit "opening the door" behind the node.

"Space Capable of the Special Operations Division?"

A hint of hesitation flashed in Dean's eyes, thinking that Doomsday Theory didn't deal with this guy in the end, roaming away with four companions.

As he walked through the void, he mentally turned to the panel.

Event "Eastside Nightmare":

You spy on Aaron Boone and discover that he has been plagued by Midian's nightmares for a long time, and under the guidance of psychiatrist Decker, he mistakenly believes that he is the murderer of the East Side massacre, and is ready to turn himself in.

You stop Boone from turning himself in, and you snoop on Dr. Decker's identity in his blood, and unleash a black teleportation to wipe out the gang.

From Decker's mouth, he asked the truth about the nightmare in the Eastside, and discovered their ultimate goal - to blame Boone and find out the location of Midian, so as to avoid the end of the world that may break out in a few years, and the completion rate has been greatly improved.

……

One hundred and five percent completion.

Withdraw rewards.

Personal Level Lv8 (140→260/1300)

You can choose between two rewards...

Dean jumped out of the void and landed lightly on a villa in Calgary's East End, his gaze swept over the list of rewards, "Flame manipulation proficiency, mind control, energy shield, mental impact... There is no difficulty in the event, and the rewards are mediocre. ”

"I choose 2 free attribute points, as well as strengthen the dark area of the mind and reduce energy consumption."

The combination of "Black Field Teleportation" is very useful, but it costs a lot, and this reward can just relieve Dean's urgent need a little.

As for the free attribute points, just now the "Intermediate Tribulation Master" has absorbed 2 points from the four captives, plus the event reward, Dean's reserves have reached 4 points, but they have not been used for the time being.

"I have to think about it, after being mentally and physically, what should be the next attribute to break through 30 points..."

……

Bedchamber.

Outside the window, the bright yellow sunlight shone through the window, illuminating a strange figure on the bed.

Boone's eyelids blinked twice, opened his eyes, and then sat up in response to stress and looked around vigilantly, and several acquaintances who helped him wash away his grievances and slash enemies came into view, with a faint joy and curiosity on their expressions,

"Wake up, Boone."

"Wait, Decker, is that bastard dead?"

"It seems that you really hate that guy, and you actually asked him the first time you woke up." Monica wrapped her arms around her chest and smiled, "Don't worry, he hasn't even gone to hell, and the traces of existence have been completely erased." ”

Boone breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "But aren't I dead too?" The carotid artery in the neck was cut open, and the stomach was scratched, which can't be saved at all, right? ”

Boone nervously examined the wound, and the result was intact, as if it had never been injured, and the muscles in his chest, abdomen and arms became distinct, and he could feel far more strength and vitality than before.

But what was terrifying was that his whole body was covered with dense weird lines, including his cheeks-

In the dressing mirror next to the wardrobe, he saw a rough face like his former self, but his eyes became vertical pupils, a thick horn grew from the center of his eyebrows like a third eye, and there were circles of swirling flesh-colored lines on his cheekbones, both sides of his forehead, and his cheeks, like permanent scars formed after a burn had healed.

But more refined, with a symmetrical aesthetic.

"Fake, what the hell is wrong with me, what has become of me?" Boone jumped to his feet in horror, and the surging force caused him to knock a large hole in the ceiling like a cannonball, and his head went straight to the roof, where he saw the dazzling sun,

"Shhhh This incredible power of my body..."

"You've died before, but now you've been reborn as a nocturnal species, a monster just like us." Sean looked at him and said with relief, grinning and revealing glistening fangs,

Boone's eyes turned a few times, and it was amazing to say, maybe it was the long-term nightmare that had already subtly affected his mind, and he easily accepted the fact of becoming a nocturnal species, "Then I can only maintain this ugly appearance in the future?" ”

"You can disarm the monster form at any time," Dean stared at his light of life, almost level 3, similar to Sean and vampires, "take a deep breath, calm down, feel carefully, and take the power back." ”

Boone followed his instructions, closed his eyes and relaxed his limbs, and then felt an instinct like eating and drinking, and couldn't help but breathe deeply.

Call... Suck...

The swirling lines around him began to fade, and wisps of cool mist poured out, and snakes burrowed into his nostrils.

When he finished sucking up the mist, the strange lines disappeared synchronously, and he turned back into a strong, healthy normal person.

Boone's face turned red with excitement and clenched his fists, "Having special powers and being able to maintain a human form is a gift from God." ”

"It is not God who gives you strength, but the master of Midian, the lord of beasts." Dean said, "And this is not a gratuitous gift, next, you have to go to Midian, with us, to face fate!" ”

When Boone heard this haunting name, his eyes showed a deep yearning, like a wanderer who had been away from home for many years and longed to return home, "You are right, I must go to Midian." ”

"Did you hear Midian's call to a certain exact address during your resurrection?"

"North Athabasca, east of the River of Tranquility, North Dewil Necropolis..."

"It's a little different from what we heard," Dean raised his eyebrows as he noticed that the "bloodline" that hadn't changed for a long time jumped from 86% to 88, "We heard 'North Athabasca, East Pith River, North Dewell'. ”

Sean nodded, rubbing his chin, a thought flashing in his eyes, "Our address isn't on the map at all, why don't you try it according to Boone?" East of the Tranquility River... Who is impressed? ”

"I've heard of the Tranquility River, I've seen it on the map!" Chris's heroic face showed a hint of excitement, and he walked straight to the bedroom wall with a map hanging on it, and reached out to point out a slender river, "Whew... Yes, there is! ”

"Northwest Alberta, it's only seven or eight hundred kilometers away... Roughly in line with my hunch. Dean looked at the map, a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, this time the help was finally in vain, "Very good, the final destination is here, everyone, it's almost time to hit the road." ”

Monica, Peter, Sean, and Christine looked at each other and nodded.

Boone suddenly looked at the group pleadingly, "Before I go, I want to meet Lori and explain a few words to her." ”

"Okay." Dean remembered a note he had seen in the secret Special Operations Department file, "There's still a little 'dirty' in Calgary that hasn't been cleaned up, so let's get rid of it." ”
