Jimmy said excitedly: How long will it take? Don't tell me such nonsense as "we'll talk about it then".
Sam: Don't you understand? Never. The devil will never stop chasing you. You can never be with your family again. So, you either stay as far away from them as possible, or kill yourself with one shot. Only in this way can you protect your family. There is no other way out, and there is no turning back.
Dean frowned: Sam, don't be so direct.
Sam: I'm just telling him the truth, Dean. Someone has to tell him.
Amelia looked at Jimmy and shed tears: So... I owe you a huge apology.
Jimmy shook his head: No, you don't owe it.
Amelia: No, I owe. I'm really sorry, Jimmy. I will never forgive myself for letting you walk out that door alone. If I had believed you then, maybe everything would have been different.
Jimmy: You did what any sane person would do. To be honest, I thought I was crazy half the time.
Amelia: So... demon, huh?
Jimmy: Yes.
Amelia: Then we... can we still go home? What should we do?
Jimmy: These three young men will get you a car. Don't ask me how. Take Claire and go to Carl and Sally's house as soon as possible. I remember they are in the countryside and it is safe there.
Amelia grabbed his hand: Wait, what about you?
Jimmy gently broke away from her hand: No, I can't go with you, Amelia. Listen to me. As long as I'm with you, you and Claire will be in danger.
Amelia cried and said: I don't care. Let's not be separated anymore. I have lost you for a year, and I can't lose you again.
Jimmy also shed tears: We have no choice.
Amelia: How long will it take?
Jimmy said with difficulty: Let's talk about it then. We are a family. No matter where I am, I will always think of you.
Amelia: They'll kill you.
Jimmy: They will also kill Claire. You must stay as far away from me as possible.
Dean stole a silver Toyota sedan parked on the roadside. It looked very ordinary and would not easily attract attention.
Dean waved to Amelia and Claire: Okay, the car is here. Take care of mom, okay, little one?
Claire turned to look at Jimmy, his eyes full of confusion and grievance: Why did dad leave again?
Jimmy squatted down and touched her daughter's head. Tears couldn't help but flow down and dripped on Claire's hair.
Jimmy's voice was choked with sobs: Dad has to do something very important. When Dad is finished, he will come back to pick you up. Okay?
Claire blinked: Really?
Jimmy nodded vigorously: Really. Dad promises.
Amelia drove away with Claire. Jimmy stood on the side of the road, waving constantly, watching the car getting farther and farther away and disappearing into the night. His shoulders were shaking slightly, trying not to cry.
Bai Haorui walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently.
As soon as the four of them got back into the car, Jimmy's cell phone suddenly rang.
Jimmy took out his mobile phone and glanced at the caller ID. He answered the phone with trembling fingers.
Jimmy's voice trembled: Amelia?
Amelia's voice came from the other end of the phone, but the tone was cold and unfamiliar: Hello, Jimmy. I'll give you an address. You come here alone and don't tell others, okay. Otherwise, you will never see your daughter again.
Jimmy hung up the phone, covered his face in pain, and let out a suppressed sob.
Dean patted him on the shoulder: Okay, they thought you would come alone. Just do as they say. We will go around from the overpass, right behind you. Just stay calm, delay, and leave the rest to us. Understand? No one will be hurt.
Jimmy raised his head, his eyes red: You want me to stay calm? This is my family!
Dean: Listen to me. It will be fine. Do you understand?
Sam frowned: They couldn't possibly think he would come alone, Dean. This must be a trap.
Bai Haorui's eyes are solemn: It's a trap. I have already sensed that in the abandoned factory in the south of the city, there are a hundred and twenty-seven demons surrounding it. Their target is not just Jimmy.
Dean cursed: Damn it! What should we do?
Bai Haorui: You take Jimmy in through the back door, and I'll attract their attention. I'll go in through the front door and kill most of the demons first, and then join you. Remember, protect Jimmy and his family. Don't fight with them unless you have to.
Dean grabbed his arm: No! It's too dangerous! You're dealing with hundreds of demons by yourself?! This is too crazy!
Bai Haorui patted his hand and smiled: Believe me. I can handle it.
He opened the door, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Bai Haorui walked around to the main entrance of the factory. It was a heavy iron door with rust on it and a huge iron lock hanging on it. Behind the iron door, the low roars and laughter of demons could be heard.
He took a deep breath and ran "Three Altars Body-Refining True Fire Art" to maximize the True Gang in his body. All the muscles in his body were tense, and there was a faint golden light flowing under his skin, as if magma was rushing in his blood vessels. His eyes became cold and sharp, like an unsheathed sword.
He pulled out the mahogany sword from behind with his backhand. The sword body was warm and had a light woody fragrance. The sword was engraved with the inscription Three-Five Evil-Slaying Talisman, glowing with a faint golden light in the dark. Bai Haorui flicked his wrist, and the purple The golden True Gang flowed down the arm to the sword, and then a little red flame appeared on the fingertips. The flame spread along the sword body, wrapping the entire sword in the light red True Fire.
"Boom!"
Bai Haorui raised his foot and kicked the door violently. The heavy iron door flew out and hit the ground with a loud noise, raising dust all over the sky.
A dozen demons guarding the door immediately surrounded him. Their eyes were pure black, without the white of their eyes. They waved their sharp claws, their nails were sharp and long, flashing with a black cold light, and they made a harsh roar and pounced on Bai Haorui.
Bai Haorui tiptoed the ground, his figure floating away like a fallen leaf, not even a speck of dust rising under his feet, and he easily dodged the first demon's attack.
He flipped his wrist violently, and the peach wood sword swept out with a sound of breaking through the air. The golden True Gang pulled out a three-foot-long light blade on the blade, and with the burning True Fire, it drew a red arc.
"Ugh!"
The three closest demons didn't even scream, and their heads fell to the ground. Before the black blood could spurt out, they were burned into blue smoke by the True Fire on the sword.
The remaining demons were stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward even more crazily.
Bai Haorui did not retreat but advanced, his figure shuttled among the demons. His movements were so fast that only afterimages were left. The peach wood sword flew up and down. Every time he swung it, a demon fell down.
Holding the sword with both hands, he slashed down from the top of his head. The muscles of his arms were tense, and True Gang poured down the sword. A demon rushed from the front, and was struck by the sword from the top of his head to his crotch. His body was instantly split in two, and he fell to the ground, twitching and turning into black smoke.
Then with a flick of his wrist, the tip of the sword accurately penetrated the heart of a demon. True Gang exploded inside the demon's body, blowing a big hole in his chest.
The body tilted to the left, the center of gravity shifted down, and the Taomu Sword slashed diagonally from the lower right to the upper left. It cut off the arms of the two demons, and wiped their necks with the sword.
The mahogany sword was raised from bottom to top, picking away a demon's sharp claws, and then the sword tip was raised upward, pierced his chin, and passed through the top of his head.
A demon rushed from his left side, opening its bloody mouth and biting his shoulder. Bai Haorui took a step forward with his left foot, tilted his body to the right, and at the same time stabbed down with the peach wood sword, piercing the demon's heart. The demon let out a scream and disappeared into a ball of black smoke.
Another demon sneaked up on him from behind, claws grabbing at his back with black demonic energy. Bai Haorui didn't look back, and flicked his left hand back, shooting out a yellow Evil-Suppressing Talisman. The talisman was pasted on the demon's forehead, and burned instantly, emitting a golden light. The demon let out a shrill scream, and his body began to smoke, then turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared.
More demons came from all directions, so densely packed that it was impossible to see the end. The entire factory was shrouded in black demonic aura, and the air became thick and foul-smelling, making it difficult to breathe.
Bai Haorui's eyes flashed, raising the True Gang in his body to the extreme. He held the mahogany sword with both hands, and then swung it upwards.
"Drink!"
A huge golden sword energy shot out from the tip of the sword, carrying the burning True Fire, sweeping out like a huge sickle.
Wherever the sword energy passed, a dozen demons were instantly cut in half, and then burned to ashes by True Fire. The sword energy plowed a half-meter deep trench on the ground, the cement floor was cracked, and the steel bars were exposed.
"Humph."
A cold voice came from the second floor.
The demon leader Balthazar appeared on the platform on the second floor. He was wearing a straight black suit, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were pure black without the whites of his eyes. In his hand, he held a sickle made of Hell cold iron. The sickle was about two meters long, and the blade was extremely sharp. There was a black cold air on it, and the surrounding air condensed into frost.
He waved his hand, and the remaining dozens of demons rushed towards Bai Haorui.
Bai Haorui took a deep breath and moved quickly, tossing and turning among the demons. The mahogany sword danced into a ball of golden light, blocking all approaching demons. Any demon that touched the ball of light would be instantly purified by True Gang and True Fire, and would not even be able to scream.
Seeing an opportunity, he jumped forward suddenly, jumped into the air, and then rotated his body 360 degrees. The peach wood sword slashed downwards with huge inertia.
"Boom!"
This sword was so powerful that it directly split the ground, forming a crack half a meter deep. Golden True Gang and red True Fire emerged from the crack, like a volcanic eruption. More than twenty demons were instantly drawn into the crack, chopped into pieces, and then burned to ashes by True Fire.
Balthazar jumped down from the platform on the second floor. When he landed, the ground shook slightly, and the cement floor under his feet cracked into fine lines.
He waved the black scythe, bringing with it gusts of dark wind, and struck at Bai Haorui. The scythe cut through the air, making a "wuwu" sound, with the power to cut steel.
Bai Haorui blocked the attack of the sickle with a mahogany sword. "Dang!" There was a loud noise, and the golden True Gang collided with the black magic energy, creating a huge shock wave. The surrounding glass was shattered, and the dust on the ground was blown into the sky. Both of them took a few steps back.
Balthazar is very powerful. He swings his sickle impenetrably, and every move hits Bai Haorui's vitals.
He first slashed diagonally, slashing the sickle from the upper right to the lower left, attacking Bai Haorui's shoulder, trying to chop off Bai Haorui's arm.
Bai Haorui dodged sideways, and at the same time, the peach wood sword stabbed his chest. Balthazar stopped with his sickle, and with a backhand hook, the blade of the sickle slashed towards Bai Haorui's throat.
Bai Haorui lowered his head to avoid it, and the blade of the sickle scraped across his scalp, cutting off a few strands of hair.
Balthazar then swept the sickle and attacked Bai Haorui's waist. Bai Haorui leaned back, almost touching the ground, and the sickle passed over the tip of his nose.
Bai Haorui took advantage of the situation and did a backflip to widen the distance. At the same time, he hit Evil-Breaking Talisman with his left hand, hitting Balthazar in the chest.
Balthazar took a step back, smoke erupted from his chest, and roared. His eyes became darker, and the black energy on the scythe became more intense.
Bai Haorui responded calmly. He held the mahogany sword in both hands and moved nimbly, looking for Balthazar's flaws.
When Balthazar slashed diagonally, he blocked it with the spine of the mahogany sword, and at the same time turned his wrist to offload the power of the sickle to one side.
Balthazar stabbed straight at him, but he dodged sideways. At the same time, the mahogany sword slid down the sickle shaft and slashed at Balthazar's hand.
When Balthazar swept across, he jumped up to avoid it, and at the same time struck Balthazar's head with a sword in the air.
The two fought for thirty rounds, with no outcome in sight. The factory was filled with demon corpses and traces of burning, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, sulfur, and burning. The ground was covered with cracks and scratches, and the walls were riddled with holes.
Balthazar was a little impatient. He didn't expect this oriental boy to be so good at fighting. He threw the sickle at Bai Haorui violently. The sickle rotated in the air with huge power, like a black flywheel. At the same time, he quickly made a hand with his hands and shot out a black poisonous mist. The poisonous mist was dark green and had a pungent odor. Wherever it passed, the steel was corroded to the point of rust, and white smoke came out from the cement floor.
Bai Haorui dodged the sickle sideways, then waved his left hand and shot out a Blazing Fire Talisman. Blazing Fire Talisman burned in the air, turned into a huge fireball, and hit the black poisonous mist.
"Zizzizi--"
The fireball and the poisonous mist collided together, making a sizzling sound. The poisonous mist was evaporated by the fireball and turned into wisps of black smoke that dissipated in the air.
At this moment, Balthazar had already rushed in front of Bai Haorui. He clenched his fists and concentrated all the demonic energy in his fists. His fists turned pure black, and with the power to corrode everything, he punched Bai Haorui in the chest.
Bai Haorui had no time to dodge and could only block the punch with his left arm.
"Bang!"
Huge power came, and Bai Haorui groaned, took a few steps back, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. A heartbreaking pain came from his left arm, Bones was almost broken, and his sleeves were corroded by the demonic energy and were in tatters.
Balthazar laughed proudly: Boy, do you think you can defeat me? You are so naive. Hell's power is beyond your imagination.
He rushed forward again.
Bai Haorui's eyes turned cold. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and released all the True Fire in his body.
Red True Fire spurted out from his body, like a volcano erupting. Then True Fire merged with purple-gold True Gang to form a huge fire dragon more than ten meters long.
The fire dragon has a ferocious head, with sharp horns and fangs, and its eyes are burning flames. The dragon scales are clearly visible, each piece is burning with raging fire and shining with the luster of metal. The dragon's claws are flaming, extremely sharp, and can tear steel. When the tail swings, the surrounding air is ignited, and the cement on the ground turns into red magma. The fire dragon lets out a deafening roar, the whole factory is shaking, and dust falls from the walls.
The fire dragon rushed towards Balthazar with a destructive momentum.
Balthazar's face changed drastically and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
The fire dragon devoured him instantly. His suit burned instantly, and his skin began to melt, emitting a pungent burnt smell.
"Ah--!!"
Bai Haorui took the opportunity to rush forward. The Taomu Sword took the last True Gang and True Fire and pierced Balthazar's heart.
"Pfft!"
True Gang and True Fire exploded inside Balthazar. He let out one last scream and disappeared into a huge cloud of black smoke.
At this time, Bai Haorui had dealt with all the demons. He took a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead and the blood from the corner of his mouth. His left arm was still aching, but he ignored it. He held the mahogany sword tightly and ran towards the interior of the factory.
At the same time, Dean, Sam and Jimmy walked into the factory through the back door.
The factory was dark, with only a few dim lights flickering and making a "sizzling" sound. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and sulfur, which was nauseating.
Jimmy shouted desperately as he walked, his voice hoarse: Castiel, you bastard! You promised me that my family would be fine! You promised that you would take care of them! I gave you what you wanted. Everything! I gave you more! This is what you give me in return? This is what you do? This is your Heaven? Please, help me! You promised, Cass! Help me!
Suddenly, all the lights overhead came on.
The dazzling light made Dean and Sam couldn't help but squint their eyes. Amelia and Claire were tied to the chair, their mouths were sealed with tape, and their eyes were full of fear. The last three demons stood around, with guns in their hands, pointing at Dean and Sam.
Dean and Sam surrounded them from both sides, but were discovered by the demons. The three demons rushed up and subdued them in a few strokes. They were pinned to the ground and unable to move.
Amelia stood up from the chair, took off the tape on his mouth, with a sarcastic smile on his face: How typical.
She walked up to Jimmy. Her eyes were pure black and there was a cold smile on her face.
Amelia: Hi, dear. Welcome home.
Jimmy plopped down on his knees and begged: Listen, I beg you. You can do whatever you want to me... but my wife and daughter, they just... they have nothing to do with this. Let them go.
Amelia sneered: Oh, they have a lot to do with this, Jimmy. And, by the way, you should come alone.
Jimmy: I came here alone.
Amelia: Haha, you are really good at lying. Do you think I didn't expect you to bring those two living treasures? Where is that Eastern boy? Isn't he very good at fighting? Why don't you see him?
Sam was pushed to the ground and cursed: Damn it. Good plan, Dean.
Dean: Yes, no one is perfect. Do you have the knife with you?
Amelia smiled and said: Do you know what's funny? I was quite disappointed to accept this task. Catching an empty container? It's as simple as running errands. Now look who fell into my hands. Winchester Family Two evil spirits, and an angel container. Now, I will be promoted and rich.
Sam: Okay. We were caught by you, okay? Let these people go.
Amelia: Oh, Sam. It's a lot easier to pretend to be a hero when your superpowers don't work, right? Now comes the climax - everyone has to die. Kill the little orphan first.
She winked at a demon next to her. The demon picked up a knife and walked towards Claire. The knife shone coldly under the light.
At this moment, Claire's eyes suddenly glowed with dazzling white light.
"Ah--!"
The three demons were instantly reduced to ashes by the holy light, leaving not even a trace.
Claire's voice became cold and hollow, without a trace of emotion: Of course we will keep our promise. Of course we are grateful to you. You have done a good job for us. Your work is done. It's time to go home - your real home. You will rest forever in the arms of God.
Jimmy shook his head desperately: No.
Castiel: Jimmy.
Jimmy crawled over, grabbed Claire's trouser legs, and cried bitterly: No. Claire. Please, don't take her away.
Castiel: She is with me now. She was chosen. It is determined by her blood, just like you.
Jimmy put his forehead on the ground and begged hoarsely: Please, Castiel. Just... just possess my body. Please, possess my body. Don't hurt my daughter. She is innocent. I am willing to take her place.
Castiel: I have to make you understand. You are not going to die... and you are not going to grow old. If the past year has been painful for you, imagine a hundred, a thousand years like this. You will be trapped in your body forever, watching your family grow old and die, and there is nothing you can do.
Jimmy said without hesitation: It doesn't matter. Possess me. As long as you possess me, I am willing to pay any price.
Castiel was silent for a moment: As you wish.
A white light flashed. Claire fell to the ground, unconscious. Castiel returned to Jimmy's body.
Dean struggled to stand up and shouted: Cass, wait! What were you going to tell me?
Castiel turned around, with no trace of warmth in his ice-blue eyes: I learned my lesson when I was up there, Dean. I serve Heaven. I don't serve humans. Of course I won't serve you either.
After saying that, he turned and left. His back was lonely and determined, and disappeared into the darkness.
At this moment, a female demon who slipped through the net rushed out from the shadows and pounced on Sam.
Sam grabbed her, pushed her to the ground, then bit her neck fiercely, and drank her blood crazily. His eyes turned pure black, and his face showed a ferocious expression like a beast. Black blood flowed down the corners of his mouth and dripped on the ground.
Dean was stunned. He looked at Sam with an expression of shock and disgust on his face. He couldn't believe his eyes, and couldn't believe that his once kind and gentle brother had turned out like this.
Bai Haorui arrived just in time. He also saw this scene and froze in place.
After Sam drank the blood, his strength increased greatly. He pushed away the body of the female demon, then stretched out his hand and forced the demon out of Amelia's body.
Amelia fell to the ground, unconscious.
The Impala was driving on a dark road. There was dead silence inside the car, except for the monotonous roar of the engine. The scenery outside the window flew by quickly, turning into blurry light and shadow.
Sam wanted to speak several times, but Dean and Bai Haorui ignored him. Dean drove the car expressionlessly, his eyes as cold as a layer of ice. Bai Haorui looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking. The atmosphere in the car was so depressing that it made people breathless.
In the early morning, they finally arrived at Bobby's house.
Bobby stood at the door to greet them. He was wearing a plaid shirt, a gray beard, and holding a bottle of beer in his hand. Seeing their gloomy expressions, he knew something was wrong.
Bobby frowned: What's wrong? Everyone looks like their dead father.
The four of them walked into the room. Dean sat down on the sofa, picked up the beer on the table, and took a big sip.
Dean looked at Sam who was drinking water in the kitchen, his voice hoarse: He bit the devil's neck like a vampire. I saw it with my own eyes.
Bobby almost dropped the beer bottle in his hand: Oh my god.
He looked at Bai Haorui.
Bai Haorui nodded and said in a heavy tone: I saw it too. I had just finished dealing with the demon and saw this scene when I arrived. His eyes at that time were not human eyes at all. They were full of bloodlust and madness. I have never seen Sam like that.
Dean placed the beer bottle heavily on the table: He is addicted, Bobby. He can't control himself. We must help him quit.
Bobby sighed: This will be very painful. Very painful. And it may not be successful. Many people you know have died during the process of detoxification.
Dean's eyes were firm: I know. But this is the only way. I can't watch him turn into a devil. He is my brother. I can't give up on him.
Dean and Bobby looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Dean stood up and shouted to the kitchen: Sam, come with me. I'll show you something.
Sam came out and asked doubtfully: What is it?
Dean: There is something in the basement that you must be interested in.
Sam followed Dean and Bobby towards the basement with hesitation. Bai Haorui followed behind.
Dean opened the basement door. The basement was dark, with only a dim lamp flickering.
Dean: Go in.
Sam walked in.
The moment he turned around, Dean slammed the door shut and locked it with a "click".
Sam realized what had happened and slapped the door frantically: Dean! Open the door! Dean! You can't do this to me!
Dean leaned against the door, closed his eyes, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Dean's voice was choked with sobs: I'm sorry, Sam. I have to do this.
Sam shouted from inside: Dean! Please! Open the door! I will change it! I really will change it!
Dean: I will help you. I promise. But you have to quit this first.
Bobby patted Dean on the shoulder and comforted him silently.
Bai Haorui stood aside, looking at the closed door of the panic room with complicated eyes. From inside came Sam's frantic slamming and shouting, which became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into a suppressed whimper, echoing in the silent basement.
