The emergency lights in the corridor emitted a dim yellow light, stretching Sam's shadow. He gently closed the door of Dean's room and walked quickly to the fire exit at the end of the corridor. The voice of Ruby on the other end of the phone was hoarse with impatience.
He glanced at the empty corridor warily and lowered his voice. "I'm out, where are you?"
"Parking lot, black Ford, hurry up." Ruby's voice came through the receiver, with unabashed urging.
"I told you, you can't do this again," Sam gritted his teeth and pressed his back tightly against the cold wall, "Dean and Haorui have become suspicious. They asked me where I was yesterday."
"What? Are you afraid that your brother and your good brothers will find out that you are drinking the blood of the devil?" Ruby sneered, and his tone suddenly became sharp, "Sam, now Apocalypse has already started, Lilith is breaking the seal, your power is not enough. Either follow me, or wait to collect the corpses of Dean and Bai Haorui."
The phone was hung up suddenly, and Sam stood there, his chest heaving violently. He looked back at Dean's door, his eyes full of guilt, and finally gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and walked quickly to the stairwell.
: I'm sorry Dean, I have no choice. As long as I can kill Lilith and stop Apocalypse, it doesn't matter even if I turn into a monster... When everything is over, you can punish me however you want, and you will forgive me.
In the next room, Bai Haorui was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. There was a layer of faint red-gold True Fire lingering around his body, like a layer of flowing golden yarn. Five Emperor Coins with red threads on his fingertips suddenly turned wildly and made a tiny buzzing sound. The golden fire hidden in the center of his eyebrows jumped suddenly, and rushed straight to the Tianling Cap with burning warmth.
He opened his eyes in an instant, and a sharp golden fire flashed in his eyes. Fifth Realm The perfect Spiritual Sense spread out like a tide, and he clearly felt that in the next room, an extremely domineering and pure sacred aura was approaching rapidly, with an unquestionable sense of oppression.
: It's an angel! Castiel is here?
Without any hesitation, Bai Haorui stood up instantly, grabbed the peach wood sword engraved with True Fire runes on the table, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, Bone Refinement into Steel's physical body burst out with extremely strong explosive force, and kicked open the door of Dean's room. The door panel hit the wall with a loud noise.
Dean suddenly woke up from his nightmare, covered in cold sweat and gasping for air. The pain of being tortured in Hell still remained in his nerves. When he looked up, he saw Castiel standing beside the bed, the hem of his trench coat not moving at all, looking at him expressionlessly, his blue eyes devoid of any human emotions.
"Why, you just like to peek at other people sleeping for fun?" Dean subconsciously touched the pistol under the pillow, his voice still hoarse with shock, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"Listen to me, you must stop this." Castiel's voice was smooth and without a trace of ripples.
"Hold up what?"
As soon as Dean finished speaking, Castiel stretched out two fingers, the fingertips glowed with a faint white light, and was about to point at Dean's forehead.
At this moment, a red-gold True Fire came through the air, accurately blocking in front of Dean, forming a half-person-high flame barrier between the two, and the scorching air wave instantly swept through the entire room. Bai Haorui stood firmly in front of Dean, with the mahogany sword across his chest, the runes on the sword's body glowing faintly, staring at Castiel with cold eyes, and True Fire around him ready to go.
"Stop."
Castiel slowly turned his head and looked at Bai Haorui. There was still no wave in his blue eyes, only a trace of undetectable scrutiny. "This has nothing to do with you, it's a variable."
"He is the person I want to protect, and it has something to do with me." Bai Haorui's tone did not give in at all, and the True Fire on his fingertips lit up a little more, "No matter where you want to take him, or what you want to do to him, I must be there. Either take me with you, or you can't touch him at all."
Castiel stared at Bai Haorui, Spiritual Sense swept across the golden mark left by Nezha between his eyebrows, and his whole body was extremely pure., Pure Yang True Fire, who specializes in overcoming evil, was silent for two seconds. He could sense that this variable contained enough power to burn an angel in his body, and taking action forcefully would only disrupt Heaven's plan.
"Yes. You can go together." Castiel finally said, "But you must know that no one can break the rules of time."
"Wait a minute, Haorui?" Dean looked confused and stretched out his hand to pull Bai Haorui's arm. His mind was filled with questions, "What's going on? Where is he taking me?"
Bai Haorui looked back at Dean, the coldness in his eyes instantly faded away, leaving only firm tenderness. "No matter where you go, I will be with you. Don't worry."
Before he finished speaking, Castiel stretched out two fingers at the same time and placed them precisely on the foreheads of Dean and Bai Haorui. The dazzling white light engulfed the two of them in an instant. Dean felt that the world was spinning in his head and the howling wind was in his ears. Then he completely lost consciousness and the picture fell into darkness.
The dazzling sunlight made it difficult to keep one's eyes open. Dean woke up suddenly on a bench on the street, his whole body ached, the dizziness still lingered in his mind, and his stomach was churning. He raised his hand to block the sun, but before he could react, a patrol policeman in a navy blue uniform came over and tapped the edge of the bench with his baton.
"Move over, man. No sleeping here."
Dean was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied, "Okay, then where can I sleep?"
"Anywhere except here." The policeman raised his eyebrows and turned around to continue patrolling.
After the police left, Dean irritably took out his mobile phone in his pocket and turned on the screen. There were only three cold words "No Service" on it, without even a signal. He cursed, stuffed the phone back into his pocket, and turned his head., he saw Bai Haorui sitting opposite him, scanning the retro street scene around him, Five Emperor Coins on his fingertips slowly turning, Spiritual Sense was always alert to the surrounding atmosphere.
"That's cool. Hey, where the hell are we?"
"Kansas, City of Lawrence." Bai Haorui turned her head and looked at him with a calm tone, "April 30, 1973."
Dean's eyes widened instantly, as if he had heard some fantasy, and his voice raised an octave. "What did you say? 1973?! That bastard angel sent us back more than 40 years ago?!"
"Yes." Bai Haorui nodded, his eyes falling on the street sign not far away, "This is the place where your parents met and fell in love, and it is also the place where Winchester Family's tragedy began."
Dean was stunned on the spot. It took more than ten seconds before he suddenly reacted. The shock on his face was instantly replaced by ecstasy, and his eyes brightened. "Wait! Can we... stop all of this? Stop Mary's death and stop Yellow-Eyed Demon's plan?"
His whole life, starting from the fire when he was four years old, he has lived in loss and revenge. His mother's death has been his lifelong obsession and the source of all his nightmares. Now, he actually has the opportunity to go back to before everything began and rewrite the ending with his own hands.
Bai Haorui looked at the light in Dean's eyes, and felt mixed emotions in his heart. He knew the ending of this story very well, and knew that the more Dean wanted to resist, the more precisely he would fall into the closed loop of fate. However, he did not pour cold water on it, and just nodded to Dean with a gentle tone. "Find out the situation first, and take it step by step. I will always be with you."
Dean lowered his head and was silly:... I actually went back to 1973. Mom... Dad... This time, I will definitely be able to save you. This time, the tragedy will not happen again. I will not let you suffer like that again.
