The sound of gunshots was deafening in the narrow space. The boy's movements froze for an instant, and he slowly fell to the ground, breathless.
Dean climbed up step by step along the rope. He was covered in injuries, his leather jacket had been torn several times, and his arms were still bleeding. He came up and looked at Danny: "Is the child okay?"
"It's okay. He's okay." Susan hugged Danny and kept bowing to Dean, tears flowing uncontrollably, "Thank you. Thank you."
Brian came over and patted Dean heavily on the shoulder. Thousands of words were turned into a hoarse "thank you".
Just as the family was preparing to evacuate, and Dean and Sam were packing up their equipment and preparing to find the girl, Kate's screams and the sound of breaking glass suddenly came from the direction of the shack!
"No!" Dean and Sam looked at each other and immediately rushed towards the shed.
The wooden door of the shack was smashed to pieces, and the feral girl broke through the door panel. Like a cornered beast, she roared and pounced on Susan and Kate who were huddled in the corner. Her eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. Her brother's death made her completely crazy. She held sharp broken glass in her hand and stabbed Susan hard in the throat.
"Susie!" Brian's eyes were splitting, and he rushed up instantly, grabbed the girl by the back collar, and dragged her to the open space outside the house like a kitten.
The girl screamed and resisted, using her hands and feet, and her nails scratched Brian's arm hard, drawing several deep blood marks. But the father, who had been cowardly, evasive, and on the verge of collapse before, completely exploded at this moment. His eyes were bloodshot, and the pain of losing his wife and brother, the fear that his son almost died, and the desire to protect his family all burst out at this moment. He threw the girl to the ground hard, and raised the hunting knife he had been holding in his hand.
The girl lay on the ground, still roaring like a wild animal, trying to get up.
Brian's hand did not shake. He gritted his teeth and stabbed the hunting knife hard.
The girl let out a shrill scream, her body twitched violently, and she completely stopped moving.
The sky was completely bright. The early morning sun rose from the end of the cornfield. The golden sunlight shone in the yard, illuminating the bloodstains on the ground, illuminating the family surviving the disaster, and also illuminating the old house in ruins.
In the distance, the sound of police sirens is getting closer and closer.
Dean and Sam looked at each other and knew it was time to leave.
Brian walked over and stretched out his hand to the two of them. His hand was still stained with blood, and his eyes were full of exhaustion, with the most sincere gratitude.
"We have to go." Dean twitched the corner of his mouth and let out a smile.
Brian smiled and shook his hand, "I'm not surprised at all that you don't like the police."
"Actually, we just don't like each other."
"No matter what, thank you." Susan also came over, hugged Danny, and bowed deeply to the two of them. Kate also followed behind her mother and whispered thank you to the two of them.
"Are you okay?" Dean looked at them and asked softly.
Brian shook his head, nodded again, and hugged his wife and children. "No, we are terrible... but our family is still together. Thank you."
Dean and Sam said nothing more, turned around and got into the car that had changed the tires, and drove towards the road outside the town. In the rearview mirror, the figure of the Carter family hugging each other became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared in the morning light.
At the same time, in the underground secret room of Bobby's house, the red-gold and purple-gold light suddenly surged, and the entire underground secret room was filled by Pure Yang True Gang. Like a small sun rising in the secret room, it suddenly converged in an instant, and was all absorbed into Bai Haorui's body, without any leakage.
Bai Haorui slowly opened his eyes, the purple-gold light in his eyes flashed away, and the aura around him was completely stable, like a mountain or a sea, thick and steady. The sixth level [True Gang Condensation·Refining Qi into Gang], a complete breakthrough.
He stood up slowly, moved his hands and feet, and his bones made a series of crisp explosions. The body protection True Gang circulated naturally, and the candle in the secret room was extinguished instantly by Gang Qi. Then, following his thoughts, was ignited out of thin air. Pure Yang True Fire, lit the candle wick again. He raised his hand, and a ray of True Gang shot out, condensing on the wall of the secret room to form a line of Daoist protective runes. The runes carried the power of the Sun and the Pure, and firmly locked the Yang Gathering Array in the entire secret room. The golden light did not disperse for a long time.
Bai Haorui:
Basic abilities are fully unlocked: the energy density is many times that of before, and the battery life has achieved a qualitative leap, completely getting rid of the dilemma of "empty blue after the ultimate move"; Gang Qi, low-level energy immunity, common firearms, swords and guns Arrows and low-level spells can't hurt me at all; the divine gang is bound and the will is locked. Every ray of True Gang has forged my guardian heart. I can recall it at will and lock on the target, and there will no longer be the problem of external collapse.
There is a protective body True Gang on the outside, which can be transformed into Gang Qi armor at will, with its own burning backlash; there is an inner gang to protect the internal organs, which protects the core source, and evil spirits, toxins, and curses cannot invade the body at all; Gang Qi is released outside and can chop rocks through the air within tens of meters, with great power. Attenuation; True Gang Form Condensation, can be transformed into weapons, strange beasts, formations, cages, and can attack, defend, and control the field; Gang Qi is an injector, even if it is an ordinary wooden stick, it can have the power of a magical weapon when injected with True Gang, which can resist demon daggers and Angel Blade.
The body and soul are comprehensively improved: Gang Qi is tempered, the strength, speed and self-healing ability of the body are doubled, tens of thousands of kilograms of strength can be exerted at will, skin wounds are healed instantly, and the lifespan is increased to more than 300 years; the soul is tempered, the five senses are connected, and the movement of the air can be sensed within several miles. Gang Qi Sound transmission can be clearly transmitted even for miles. Illusion and charm cannot shake my soul at all.
Breaking laws and suppressing evil, my Pure Yang Fire Gang is naturally capable of restraining all evil spirits, demons, and curses. Low-level evil spirits will fly away when touched. To survive in desperate situations, Gang Qi can form internal circulation, underwater, vacuum, and extremely cold and hot environments. Both can survive for a long time; Gang Seal Dao Protection can condense the Gang Seal into the bodies of Sam and Dean to help them suppress backlash, protect their paths and break through, and can automatically trigger the shield to counterattack when in danger.
The only regret is that the further you go through "Three Altars Body-Refining True Fire Art", the slower your cultivation speed becomes. After the sixth level, without the support of the corresponding heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it may be difficult to make a big improvement within a hundred years just by relying on your own hard work. It seems that you will have to think of a solution in the future.
He walked to the door and opened the heavy iron door of the basement. The early morning sunlight shone in along the stairs and fell on him, warm. He squinted his eyes, and a happy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Bobby heard the noise and immediately came over from the living room. When he saw Bai Haorui safe and sound, he was instantly relieved and punched him lightly on the shoulder. He laughed and cursed, "You kid, you figured it out! It's been four days! I thought something happened to you! How about it? Breakthrough?"
Bai Haorui nodded, a wisp of purple-gold True Gang flowed slowly from his fingertips, and circled around Bobby's body with the power of hot pure Yang, then took it back without hurting Bobby at all. "It's done. The sixth level, Refining Qi into Gang."
Bobby felt the terrifying power contained in True Gang, his eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but admire. "Good guy! Although I don't know what it means, it feels very cool! By the way, those two brats just came out of Nebraska. Sam called me on the road. The case is over and everyone is fine. It's just that Dean's condition is not very good."
Bai Haorui's eyes flashed and he immediately asked, "Where are they now? I'll go find them right now."
The sun was rising higher and higher. The car was driving on the interstate highway in the early morning, with endless cornfields on both sides. The golden sunlight shone in through the car window and fell on Dean and Sam.
There was silence in the car, with only the roar of the engine and the sound of wind blowing through the windows. Dean leaned on the driver's seat and drove the car, looking at the rapidly reversing road in front of him. His eyes were unprecedentedly tired and confused, as if all his strength had been drained away.
After a long silence, Dean spoke first, his voice hoarse and full of weariness.
"Are you okay? To be honest, I sympathize with those two just now." He paused, looked out the window, and said word by word, "If you live in torture all your life, that's what people will become."
Sam turned to look at him, with a gentle and soothing tone. "You have been to Hell, Dean. Listen, maybe you did those things there... but you are not them. They have almost completely lost their humanity."
Dean turned his head sharply and looked at Sam, his eyes full of self-loathing and pain. He shook his head. "Yes, you are right. I am different from them. I am worse than them."
"Sam, they are just animals, just defending their territory. But what about me?" Dean's voice became lower and lower. "I did it purely for pleasure."
Sam was stunned, his pupils suddenly contracted. "What?"
"I enjoy it, Sam." Dean looked at him, tears finally falling, "They put me down from the torture rack, and I tortured those souls, and I enjoyed it. After so many years, so much pain, I can finally inflict pain on others. I don't care who they push in front of me. Because the pain I felt... just disappeared."
He turned his head and looked at Chuang Zai again. "No matter how many people I save... I can't change this fact. I can't fill this hole. I will never be able to fill it."
The car fell silent again.
Sam looked at his brother next to him, seeing how he finally collapsed completely after holding on for so long. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He didn't know how to comfort him, and he didn't know how to erase the trauma that Hell had engraved in his bones for forty years. He could only accompany him and drive forward on this road with no end in sight.
The car sped into the distance, and the rising sun cast two long shadows behind them.
