Deep in the Underground Kingdom.

In the center of the palatial palace was a blood-colored fountain, and the gushing blood swirled around an ancient stone pillar with flying runes, and on the pillar was a giant with dark brown skin and a majestic and silent appearance.

His vertebrae were stretched horizontally from top to bottom with a series of hooked, sharp feet.

In the dim light, this column of feet swung like oars, and a wave-like divine power swept outward, enveloping the entire palace.

The high priest Reispar humbly bowed his head to the giant,

"My lord, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Leviathan... The traitors of the past have sent servants into Midian, and may subvert your rules at any time, so let me ask why you don't deal with them at once? ”

The giant's eyes closed as if he were sleeping, but a cordial, gentle, voice that seemed to come from the depths of the listener's heart rippled around him.

"Remember, Resper, they betrayed me, but never the world, and they are not servants of nothingness, but defenders of another set of order, in some ways on the same side as us."

"But they have been hiding in the other world for too long, not realizing that under the disaster, the tree of the world will be uprooted and burned to ashes, and the nests of countless birds, beasts, insects and ants on the tree will not be able to survive alone?"

"Leave a few pairs of eyes just in time for them to witness Midian's last effort and recognize the dire situation."

"Now bring the seven Sons of Destiny and carry out the plan."

"My lord... The strength and will of this group of people are no stronger than those of the past batches," the gill scar on Resper's face trembled, "Can the plan succeed?" ”

"I saw in their eyes a flame of light, enough to scorch through the barriers between the past and the future, and fight for a glimmer of hope... And we only have one last chance, so we don't have time to hesitate. ”

Last Chance...

A long sigh spilled over into the hall, and then all fell silent.

……

The other side.

The six Deans were housed in a rudimentary stone chamber in the Underground Kingdom.

The horned man who was in charge of leading the way grinned with white teeth, and arrogantly invited everyone, "The whole tribe of more than 600 people has fought against me... It is a necessary test to join Midian, and to refuse is to voluntarily rank to the lowliest. Defeat me, and you will be able to take over the great mission of my Lord as the son of my destiny. ”

The yin and yang face and crocodile mouth next to him nodded in agreement.

Dean squinted at the horned man, "You've fought against all of Midian, including High Priest Resper?" ”

A look of respect flashed in the horned man's eyes, "Hmm... I lost badly, and the strength of the priests was overwhelming all the nocturnal species, so I was qualified to rule us. ”

"You've fought the berserkers in the Chamber of Secrets, too?"

Dean's question made the horned man touch the long horn on the top of his head, slightly embarrassed, "I wanted to have a good fight with them, but the berserkers are uncontrollable, and the entire tribe will be destroyed and suffer if they are released, so I don't have a chance to make a move." ”

"But don't worry, I'm not a berserker who is a brainless man, I can control the strength and make sure I don't hurt your life."

"Kenny, let me try it with this outspoken idiot!" Boone's eyes were so provocative that his eyes erupted, and a spiral pattern appeared on his face, and he looked at Dean and asked, "See if I don't beat him out of the!" ”

Sean also stood beside him, popping out a pair of sharp claws and staring at the horned man with bared teeth.

Dean considered that his companions were all wearing equipment inlaid with star runes and armor, and there was no pressure to resist a few level 6 damages, so he nodded, and quietly released the shoal badge to monitor everyone, "Go ahead, remember to protect yourself first." ”

Sean and the others then followed the horned man into the gladiatorial arena at the bottom of the underground kingdom, which covered an area of thousands of square meters.

The fierce and grand drums of war gradually rose to the top.

Hundreds of other nocturnal creatures, realizing that there was something to see, ran out of the room, excitedly crowding the corridors and drawbridges above overlooking the arena.

……

Dean followed Lu Guangming, who had been waiting for a long time, to a hidden and quiet room at the end of the secret room, and opened his telekinesis shield to isolate the influence of the outside world.

"Now there are no outsiders, can you speak?" Lu Guangming stared into his eyes, "How did we meet more than nine years ago, and why don't I have any impression?" ”

He didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and his appearance changed with his smile - the shallow beard faded, and the deep eye sockets, the hard jawline, and the contours of the face quietly softened.

The hair of the eyes fades to black.

Taller, more slender and more shapely, it exudes a momentum far more terrifying than the previous one, even more terrifying than that of the berserker imprisoned in the secret room.

In front of Lu Guangming, the Mexican who called himself Kenny turned into a complete Asian in the blink of an eye

That sunny and handsome appearance made Lu Guangming's memories flood up in his mind, and he vaguely saw his youth, and the little boy who ran around his and Lena's knees in the old villa outside Las Vegas many years ago, thinking about and praying for his family day and night.

"Do you recognize that?" Dean opened his arms to him, and Shadow crept back into his body, and said with him, "Our real name is Ludian. ”

"Dean?! Oh my God... I—Am I dreaming, is this an illusion? Lu Guangming flicked his tail behind him, and the ground was suddenly cracked, and his eyes were round, as if he was worried that all this was just a reflection in the water, and it would shatter and disappear in the blink of an eye.

Then a warm and warm hug, the intimacy of the blood connection, dispelled all the doubts in his heart, and he unconsciously hugged Dean again.

He indulged in the joy of his loved one's reunion, wisps of happiness appeared on his orange cheeks, and his eyes were red.

After a long time, Lu Guangming recovered from the excitement, looked at his eyes at the level of his forehead, and an irrepressible surprise appeared on his face, "My children have grown so big unconsciously, taller and handsome than me... But how can you find Midian? Why did you become a Mexican just now, is this some kind of superpower? ”

He had the impression that his son was by no means a superpower.

"It's a long story, I only awakened to superpowers two years ago, heard Midian's call, and learned from my uncle Paqui about your and Lena's disappearance..."

Dean looked at the "shadow" suspended behind Lu Guangming, this guy was still hugging his father, and threw his soulful gratitude towards Dean, his joy was so strong that the aurora on his body became more and more dazzling, as if sublimated and evolved in joy,

"When I graduated from high school, I followed the clues to find your whereabouts, from Las Vegas all the way to the National Energy Laboratory in Hawkins, Indiana... I also found the underground base of Sirafayette, where you and Lena were separated, from Hawkins, to create the biochemical toad people... Finally found the imprisoned Lena in an ancient temple outside Ciudad Juárez, near the Mexican border..."

"Wait!" A large spike suddenly appeared on Lu Guangming's face, and he interrupted excitedly, "Lena is imprisoned? Is she okay? ”

"Don't worry, I rescued her a few months ago," Dean and Ying smiled, "She's currently recuperating in a small town near Hawkins, but she's no longer human, she's a basilisk. ”

Lu Guangming's face sank, "Snake demon? ”

"Except for having to regularly suck the blood of living creatures, everything else is no different from a normal person."

"Then our family of three has become an inhuman anomaly." Lu Guangming smiled helplessly, and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "Is Lena doing well?" ”

"It's a relaxing day. I just care about you very much, and I always mention you, and I originally had to come with me, but I refused her for safety..."

"It's afternoon outside, isn't it? She might be talking to her uncle and aunt about you. ”

Lu Guangming was so surprised that a pair of eyes bulged out of his sockets when he heard this, "Auntie? That prodigal son of Paqui actually got married? ”

"Unexpectedly, he fell in love with a teacher at Hawkins Middle School, bought a new house and moved in, just waiting for you to go back and officiate his engagement ceremony, in short, everyone is fine..."

After listening to the news of his family, Lu Guangming seemed to have been healed from the inside out, his tense body relaxed, and on his orange skin, every cell was relieved and moved, and then he looked at Dean in front of him guiltily, and said bitterly,

"I haven't been with me all these years, but you have taken care of your family so well, you must have suffered a lot, right?"

Dean glanced at the silent shadow - the real Dean had already become a ghost because of the absence of his parents.

But if there is no initial cause, there is no present effect.

All this suffering is meaningful.

"That's all in the past, the most important thing now is that the family should get together," Dean said in a deep voice, "I'm going to take you out of Midian and back to Hawkins, a friend of mine has a special rune that can isolate Midian's influence on you." ”

In love, this can complete the "shadow" family.

In terms of benefits, the progress of the hell-level event "Bloodline" in the system will also be greatly improved, bringing more considerable rewards.

A trace of intent flashed in Lu Guangming's eyes, and he took a deep breath and shook his head,

"Dean, I can't wait to grow wings and fly back with you now, but I owe Midian, the nocturnal species, and my lord Paph to destroy the great kindness that has not been repaid, and it is impossible to leave my compatriots behind."

"Kindness?"

"It's ironic, I was originally a normal human being, but I was first imprisoned by the Hawkins Department of Energy, conducted various human experiments, and awakened my self-healing ability."

"I escaped from the lab and was caught in the underground base of Silafayette, where I almost became a toad man's ration."

"Later, according to the guidance of the chameleon Otto, he went all the way north, and encountered the continuous pursuit of the Special Operations Department and the various supernatural crises brought about by the Law of Convergence... Thanks to the protection of the nocturnal species, I was able to make it to Midiani alive. ”

Lu Guangming's voice trembled, and he said with gratitude, "They are monsters, but they have a stronger faith than humans. Because of my status as the son of destiny, they risked their lives to protect me. We have sworn countless times to their weathered corpses that we will never fail to live up to their expectations. ”

Lu Guangming looked at Dean solemnly, "I want to stay in Midian, and complete my lord's mission. ”

Dean felt his resoluteness and communicated with the shadow mind in silence for a long time.

"As a family member, I respect your decision, but before you act, you should go home with me, after all, this mission is very dangerous?"

"I don't want to hide anything from you, you can say nine deaths... In the past, there were many batches of children of destiny who never returned, and after all, they failed to achieve their goal and redeem the entire tribe. ”

"Let's be specific, after all, I am also a child of destiny."

"I lived in Midianite for two years, and I gradually figured out the root of everything." Lu Guangming's tone was solemn, "This is not only a paradise for monsters, but also a prison that imprisons the nocturnal tribe, my lord... We are forced to give our energy, and this captivity is coming to an end, and all the nocturnal species are destined for destruction. ”

Dean nodded, he had already felt that the energy was slowly draining from the underground kingdom on the way to the underground kingdom, being sucked away by something.

Now it seems that this thing is the culprit behind the imprisonment of the nocturnal species!

Also, Mrs. Carmody of the antique shop has mentioned that Midiann is a prison!

Lu Guangming continued, "The mission of the Seven Children of Destiny is to break the prison and give eternal freedom to our lord Baph and all the nocturnal races from destruction. In doing so, Lena, Paqui, and our family will all have a chance at redemption. ”

Dean frowned, thinking of the number "666" related to the Bible, the nocturnal species "beast", and the "antichrist" that had been investigated in the past, "What kind of being can imprison a god and its powerful followers?" Oh, God? ”

Lu Guangming nodded and shook his head, "To be precise, that thing can't be called God anymore." ”

A fierce commotion and cheers came from the gladiatorial arena at the bottom of the underground kingdom, and then the voice of the high priest, and the two looked at each other and walked out.
