"Is there any hope?" Old Ryan asked eagerly, his voice full of hope, "My brothers, can they still regain their light? They are still young. If there is a chance, please don't let them live in darkness all their lives."
"I will try." Bai Haorui nodded, "First take me to the place where the fog appears."
Old Jake took Bai Haorui to the end of the pier, groped to confirm the direction, and pointed to the sea in the distance. "That's it. The fog hasn't dissipated yet, it's just over that sea area. The locals don't dare to go near there."
Bai Haorui looked in the direction pointed by Old Jake. Above the sea in the distance, there was a thick black mist that could not be dissolved, like a huge monster, entrenched on the sea. The mist was constantly rolling and surging, and it also gave off a disgusting stench.
He closed his eyes, ran Divine Sense, and explored the fog. The fog was filled with strong Hell energy and countless painful soul fragments. These were the souls of marine creatures and humans killed by the fog. They were trapped in the fog and would never be able to escape.
"Just wait here. Be careful." Bai Haorui said to Old Ryan, then jumped onto a small speedboat parked at the pier.
He pulled the string to start the speedboat and drove quickly towards the black fog. The speedboat split the icy waves and left a white water mark on the sea.
The closer to the fog, the colder the air becomes, and the pungent odor becomes stronger and stronger. Bai Haorui runs "Three Altars Body-Refining True Fire Art", and the purple-gold True Gang forms an invisible barrier around the body, blocking the erosion of the fog.
The speedboat sailed into the fog.
The surroundings instantly became pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers. Countless screams and cries came from your ears. They were the souls trapped in the fog wailing. These sounds directly penetrated into the depths of people's souls, making people's scalp numb.
"You monster, you haven't shown yourself yet!"
Bai Haorui shouted loudly, and the Lotus Seal between his eyebrows suddenly lit up. A trace of red True Fire shot out from his fingertips, drawing a dazzling light in the darkness.
True Fire is like a small sun, lighting up the surrounding fog.
I saw a huge black monster entrenched in the mist. It had no fixed shape, like a ball of flowing asphalt, constantly changing into various forms. Countless twisted human faces appeared on its body, then disappeared, letting out painful wails. These were the souls it had swallowed.
This is the body of Hell Mist, a polymer condensed from countless Hell energies and painful souls.
The monster discovered Bai Haorui, opened its mouth and let out a strange whistling sound. Countless black tentacles stretched out from its body, lashing towards Bai Haorui and the speedboat like whips.
Bai Haorui did not dodge or dodge, operating "Three Altars Body-Refining True Fire Art" to the extreme. The purple-gold True Gang spurted out from his body, and merged with the red True Fire to form a huge fire dragon.
"Ho--!"
The fire dragon let out a deafening roar, opened its huge mouth, and rushed towards the black monster.
The monster was so big that it felt threatened and wanted to run away, but it was too late. The fire dragon swallowed it up instantly, True Fire burning its body crazily, purifying the Hell energy and painful soul inside.
"--!"
The monster let out a scream and was completely burned to death by True Fire.
The black fog also dissipated. The sun shone on the sea again, making the waves sparkling, as if nothing had happened.
Bai Haorui put away the fire dragon and drove the speedboat back to the dock.
He walked up to Old Ryan, stretched out his hand, and pressed it on his eyes. Purple-gold True Gang slowly poured into Old Jake's eyes, gently repairing the soul burned by the mist.
Old Ryan The white cloth on his face slowly slipped off. He blinked and shouted excitedly, "I see it! I can see it!"
He looked at Bai Haorui and shed tears. "Thank you! Bai Haorui! Thank you!"
"You're welcome." Bai Haorui smiled, "The same goes for your brothers. As long as you use True Gang to repair their souls, you can restore their light and sanity. You should contact them first and gather them in one place. After I finish handling the matters at hand, I will rush over to treat them."
"Okay! Okay!" Old Ryan nodded excitedly, "Don't worry, I'll make arrangements right away."
Bai Haorui said goodbye to Old Ryan and drove to the last destination - Florida zhou Key West.
underground
In the room, Sam was sitting on the floor, his body twitching constantly.
Black blood vessels spread from his palms to his arms, like ugly worms swimming under the skin. His face turned pale, his lips turned purple, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. The withdrawal reaction became more and more serious, and he felt that his body was about to be torn apart.
He struggled to stand up and walked to the mirror in the room.
The person in the mirror made him feel strange and frightened.
Black blood vessels had climbed up his cheeks, looking particularly ferocious against the pale skin. His eyes were also bloodshot, and his eyes were hollow and crazy. He didn't look like a human being at all, more like a demon about to break out of his cocoon.
"Guys! Help!" Sam shouted in horror, his voice full of despair. He stretched out his hand and tried to wipe off the black blood vessels on his face, but the blood vessels could not be wiped away no matter how hard he wiped them.
"Pah--!"
The last Clear Heart Talisman on the chest also cracked and turned into pieces falling to the ground.
Sam completely lost his last support. He felt that the power in his body was surging crazily, trying to break through his body. His consciousness began to become blurred, and various hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes.
In the living room, Bobby and Dean were talking. Sam's cry for help came from downstairs and reached their ears clearly.
"If I heard correctly, you volunteered to be the angel's lackey?" Bobby looked at Dean, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and worry. He had a cup of coffee in his hand, but he didn't drink a sip.
Dean gave Bobby a cold look and said nothing.
"I'm sorry. Do you prefer the word 'fool'?" Bobby continued, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "After you said so many bad things about them, now you trust them again? Have you forgotten what they did to you?"
"Please, give me some trust, Bobby." Dean raised his voice, his eyes full of anger and helplessness, "I don't trust them more than ever! I mean, They act like shady politicians from Vulcan! But what other choice do I have? Either trust an angel, or make Sammy trust a devil? So tell me, which one should I choose?"
Bobby looked at Dean's tired face, sighed and nodded. He knew that Dean was also helpless.
"Did you hear that?" Dean suddenly raised his ears and asked.
"I heard it, it's too quiet." Bobby's face also darkened. Sam's cry for help just now suddenly stopped, and there was dead silence downstairs.
The two looked at each other, hurried to the basement, and opened the iron window on the door of the magic-proof secret room.
They saw Sam lying on the ground, his body twitching violently, foaming at the mouth, and his face turned purple. Black blood vessels covered his entire face, which looked terrifying.
"Could he be faking it?" Dean hesitated and asked. He has been deceived by Sam too many times, and now he can't believe it easily.
"Do you really think he can?" Bobby asked, his eyes full of worry, "Look at him!"
At this moment, Sam was suddenly slammed into the wall by an invisible force, making a loud "bang" sound.
"This is definitely not pretending." Bobby said.
They pushed open the door and rushed in, pulling Sam off the wall and pressing him on the bed. Sam was still twitching and making inarticulate moans.
"For his safety, let's tie him up." Bobby held down Sam while shouting to Dean who was in a daze, "Dean? Are you okay? Dean! Before he has another attack."
"Okay, okay. Let's finish it quickly." Dean came to his senses, hurriedly took out the iron chain, and together with Bobby, tied Sam tightly to the bed. The iron chain cut deeply into Sam's wrists and ankles, leaving deep red marks.
Sam twitched for a while and finally calmed down. He slowly opened his eyes and found that he was chained to the bed and unable to move. He struggled a few times, and the chains made a "clattering" sound.
Dean was standing beside the bed, looking at him expressionlessly.
"We have to do this." Dean's voice was full of exhaustion, "The devil's blood threw you around the room. Tell me one thing, Sam. Why did you do this to yourself?"
"You know why." Sam said coldly, his eyes full of resentment.
"Yes. 'Kill Lilith'. That's a great excuse." Dean's tone was full of sarcasm, "But why? For revenge, right?"
"Of course." Sam said without hesitation.
"Revenge for what? To send me to Hell?" Dean's voice became sharper, "Have you noticed that I'm back? Living well. What's the point?"
"Meaning? Like 'Stop the damn Apocalypse'?" Sam also raised his voice.
After Sam finished speaking, he found that Dean was missing.
There was no one in the room except for himself, who was tied to the bed. It turned out that Dean just now was just his hallucination.
"My business, not yours." Dean's voice sounded in the room again, with a strong sense of ridicule and disdain, "The angels said it, remember? God chose me, man. So do you have any other excellent excuses? Huh?"
"No... it's not like that..." Sam closed his eyes in pain and shook his head, trying to get rid of this illusion. But Dean's voice kept echoing in his mind like a spell.
Bai Haorui drove for more than ten hours and finally arrived at Florida zhou Key West at noon the next day.
The sun is shining brightly, the beach is white, and the sea water is clear. This is a famous tourist resort, and it is usually full of tourists. But today, the southern island is deserted and looks particularly deserted.
Bai Haorui's car was parked at the entrance of the island. A Latino man in his thirties was waiting for him. He was very strong, dark-skinned, and was wearing a floral shirt and a pair of beach pants. His face was full of anxiety and worry.
"Hello, Bai Haorui, thank you for coming." The man came up to him and stretched out his hand, "I'm Carlos. Bobby has already called me."
"Hello, Carlos." Bai Haorui shook hands with him, "How is the situation?"
"The situation is worse than we imagined." Carlos's face was solemn, "Last night, three more fish species became extinct. Now there are no living creatures in this sea area. Even the seaweed is dead."
He took Bai Haorui into the mangrove deep in the island. He walked forward along a muddy path. The deeper he went, the duller the air became, and the smell of decay became stronger and stronger.
The mangroves were lifeless, with no trace of any living creatures. The crabs and birds that were usually seen everywhere have now disappeared without a trace. The leaves have turned black and will break when touched.
They walked to a black beach.
The water was as black as ink, and there were a large number of dead fish and marine life corpses floating on the surface. These corpses had begun to rot and swell, emitting a disgusting stench. There was no wave on the sea surface, and it was as calm as a mirror.
"Three days ago, the sea water suddenly became like this." Carlos said, "All marine life died overnight. We have tried many methods, but none of them work. Moreover, at night, there will be strange sounds from the sea, like something crying. The locals dare not approach here."
Bai Haorui squatted down, dipped a little black seawater with his finger, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. The seawater was full of strong evil spirit and resentment.
"It's a water monster." Bai Haorui stood up and said, "An ancient freshwater monster has been sealed under this sea for thousands of years. The seal broke and it woke up. Its evil spirit polluted the sea water and killed all marine life."
While he was talking, the black sea water suddenly surged up.
A huge black shadow rose from the bottom of the sea.
It has a snake-like body, dozens of meters long, covered with sharp black scales. It has three curved horns on its head, and its eyes are blood red, like two lanterns. It opens its huge mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth, and spits out a stream of black poisonous gas.
"Ho--!"
The water monster roared and pounced on Bai Haorui and Carlos.
"Be careful!"
Bai Haorui pushed Carlos away, pulled out the mahogany sword at the same time, and jumped up. He poured all his True Gang into the mahogany sword, and the sword emitted a dazzling purple-gold light.
"Cut!"
Bai Haorui shouted loudly, and with a sound of breaking through the air, the peach wood sword struck hard at the water monster's head.
"Clang!"
The peach wood sword struck the water monster's scales, making a sound of gold and iron. Sparks flew everywhere, leaving a shallow mark on the scales.
"Such hard scales!" Bai Haorui was shocked, quickly took a few steps back, and landed on the beach.
The water monster roared angrily and swiped its tail violently. The huge force created a deep ravine on the beach. Countless black seawater was rolled up and shot towards Bai Haorui like arrows.
Bai Haorui pinched his left hand and shot a King Kong Protection Talisman. A golden light shield appeared in front of him, blocking the attack of the sea water. The sea water hit the light shield and made a "crackling" sound.
At the same time, Bai Haorui flicked his right hand, and three Water-Suppressing Talisman came out, with golden light, and accurately attached to the body of the water monster.
"Ouch--!"
Water-Suppressing Talisman emitted a dazzling golden light, and the water monster let out a painful scream, and its body began to twitch violently. Black seawater continued to gush out of its body.
Bai Haorui didn't give it a chance to breathe. He activated True Fire in his body, and red flames burned in his palm, turning into a huge flame spear.
"Die!"
Bai Haorui shouted loudly and threw the flame spear fiercely. The flame spear made a sound of breaking through the air and accurately pierced the water monster's eye.
"Ang--!"
The water monster let out a scream, and its huge body kept rolling on the beach. It broke the surrounding trees and made the entire beach a mess.
Bai Haorui took the opportunity to jump up, and with the Taomu Sword carrying True Gang and True Fire all over his body, he stabbed seven inches into the water monster.
True Fire followed the peach wood sword and poured into the body of the water monster, burning its internal organs.
After a few minutes, the water monster stopped struggling and died completely.
But the sea water has not returned to clarity as Bai Haorui imagined. The black sea water still exudes the smell of decay, and the corpses on the sea have not disappeared.
Bai Haorui knows that although the water monster is dead, its demonic aura and the resentment of countless marine creatures still remain in this sea area. If this resentment is not dissipated, this sea area will never regain its vitality.
He took out the magic weapon from his backpack and began to arrange the altar.
He drew a huge Taiji Bagua Formation with cinnabar on the beach, and placed three sticks of incense at the center of the formation. Then he took out the peach wood sword, Five Emperor Coins, yellow talismans and other magic weapons and placed them in various directions of the formation.
After everything was ready, Bai Haorui stood in the center of the formation, holding a peach wood sword, and began to practice.
"The heaven and earth are natural, and the odor is dispersed. The void in the cave is shining brightly. The power of the eight directions makes me natural. The spiritual treasure talisman tells the nine heavens..."
His voice was loud and full of strange power. As he chanted, the formation began to glow with golden light.
Bai Haorui waved the mahogany sword and drew runes in the air. He continuously injected the True Gang in his body into the formation.
The golden light became brighter and brighter, covering the entire beach.
Countless black grievances rose from the sea water, like black snakes, twisting in the air. These were the grievances of dead sea creatures.
Bai Haorui recited Rebirth Mantra, using True Gang and True Fire to purify these grievances. The black grievances met the golden light and slowly dissipated in the air.
The whole process lasted an hour.
When the last trace of resentment dissipated, the black water slowly returned to clarity. The rotten smell also disappeared.
Bai Haorui put away the magic weapon and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His face was a little pale, and what he did just now consumed a lot of True Gang.
"Thank you, Bai." Carlos breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, "You saved this island."
"You're welcome." Bai Haorui shook his head, his eyes serious, "I have to go back quickly. I have a bad feeling that something might have happened over there Sam."
After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran back to the car. He started the car and drove in the direction of South Dakota as fast as possible.
In the basement, hallucinations continue to torture Sam.
"I know why you really drank that blood, Sam." Dean's voice echoed in the room, with a weird smile.
"Leave me alone." Sam closed his eyes and said painfully.
"It makes you feel powerful. Invincible. Being a big bad wolf in a world of piglets." Dean's voice was full of sarcasm.
"No. You are wrong, Dean." Sam shook his head, his voice full of weakness.
"It's more than that, right? Because you've always felt like you were different all your life. Am I right?" Dean's voice became sharper.
"Stop talking." Sam's voice trembled.
"Oh, talking about your sore spot, huh? It's not because you're a lonely kid, or because you have a weird family."
"Stop talking." Sam opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes full of anger. He pulled the iron chain frantically, and the iron chain cut deeply into his wrist, bleeding, but he seemed not to feel the pain.
"Because you're a monster."
"Shut up! Shut up!" Sam shouted angrily, the veins on his forehead popped out, and black blood vessels covered his entire face.
"You have always been a monster. Only when you absorb more poison and evil will you feel normal." Dean's voice continued, like sharp knives piercing Sam's heart.
"Monster, Sam. You are a monster."
"Dean, no." Sam's voice was full of despair, and tears flowed down.
"I've been trying so hard to pretend we're brothers. Pretend you're not one of those filthy things we hunt. But we're not even the same species. You mean nothing to me."
"Don't say that. Don't say that to me." Sam's voice was full of pleading.
Suddenly, the hallucination disappeared.
The room returned to silence, with only the sound of Sam's heavy breathing. The sky was gradually getting dark, and the room became dim and unclear.
At this moment, the iron chain on Sam's left hand opened with a "snap" sound.
Then the left foot, then the right hand and the right foot. The heavy chain fell to the ground with a loud "clatter".
Immediately afterwards, the door of the magic-proof secret room opened automatically, making a "squeak" sound.
Sam sat up and looked at all this in surprise. He didn't do anything, and the restraints were untied by themselves. He carefully got off the bed and rubbed his wrists that were so painful from the chains. His eyes were full of doubts and vigilance.
"Is anyone there?" he called softly, but no one responded.
He quietly slipped out of the basement and walked up the stairs.
He didn't notice that Castiel was hiding in the shadow behind the stairs, looking at him expressionlessly. His eyes were full of complex emotions, including pain, confusion, and a hint of helplessness.
After Sam walked up the stairs, Castiel gently closed and locked the door of the magic-proof secret room. Then a white light flashed and he disappeared into the shadows.
The night is deep by the river in the city. The river water is shimmering under the illumination of street lamps. The breeze blows by, bringing a bit of coolness.
Castiel stood by the railing, looking at the slowly flowing river. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were full of pain and confusion.
A white light flashed.
Anna appeared behind him, her eyes full of anger and confusion. She was wearing a white dress, her hair fluttering in the wind.
"What did you do?" Anna's voice was cold.
"You shouldn't have come, Anna." Castiel said calmly without turning around.
"Why did you let Sam·Winchester go?" Anna walked to Castiel, stared at him, and asked, "You saw him. He was drinking. Demon blood. The situation is much worse than we thought. Dean is trying to stop him. If you let him go, he will go to Ruby and drink more demon blood. By then, no one can stop him."
"This is the order I got." Castiel's voice was without any emotion.
"Order?" Anna's voice was full of disbelief, "Cass, look what you are doing! You clearly know this is wrong! Heaven's order is wrong! They don't want to stop Apocalypse at all, they want Apocalypse to happen!"
"You really shouldn't come to Anna." Castiel finally turned around and looked at Anna. His eyes were full of complex emotions, including pain, reluctance, and a trace of determination.
At this moment, two angels in black suits suddenly appeared on both sides of Anna. They looked at Anna expressionlessly, with cold eyes.
"What do you want to do?" Anna took a step back vigilantly, preparing to fight.
"Anna Milton, you have been arrested for betrayal Heaven." An angel said coldly.
A white light flashed.
Anna and the two angels disappeared.
Castiel was the only person left by the river. He continued to look at the river, his eyes full of confusion and pain. He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong. He only knew that he had to obey Heaven's orders.
Sam was sneaking towards an old pickup truck parked in the corner. His movements were very gentle, for fear of being discovered.
He opened the car door and was about to sit in when he heard the sound of a gun being loaded behind him.
"Click."
Sam turned around.
Bobby was standing not far away, holding a shotgun in his hand, with the muzzle pointed at him. Bobby's face was full of pain and helplessness, and the hand holding the gun was trembling slightly. His eyes were red and bloodshot.
"No, Sam." Bobby's voice was hoarse, with a hint of pleading, "The only place you can go is to go back to the house with me."
"No." Sam shook his head, his eyes full of determination, "I must find Ruby. Only she can help me, and only I can kill Lilith. Only in this way can Apocalypse be stopped."
"Damn, kid." Bobby's voice was full of anger and pain, "Look at what you look like now! You are no longer the original Sam! You are controlled by demon blood! Ruby is using you! Can't you still see it?"
"You won't shoot me, Bobby." Sam slowly walked towards Bobby and said calmly, "You love me like your own son. You can't do it."
"Don't force me." Bobby gripped the shotgun tightly and put his finger on the trigger. His body was trembling slightly.
"We want to help you, Sam." Bobby's voice was choked, "We don't want to watch you destroy yourself."
Sam walked up to Bobby, suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the barrel of the shotgun, and pointed the muzzle at his chest.
"Then shoot." Sam stared into Bobby's eyes and said word by word, "If you really think I am a monster, then shoot me. Otherwise, just let me go."
There was a long silence.
The wind blew through the scrap yard, making a "whooshing" sound.
Bobby looked at Sam's firm eyes, and the hand holding the gun slowly dropped. His eyes were red, and tears flowed down.
Sam took the opportunity to grab the shotgun and threw it on the ground. Then he punched Bobby in the face.
Bobby staggered and fell to the ground. Blood flowed from his nose.
"I'm sorry, Bobby." Sam whispered, then turned around, ran back to the pickup truck, and started the car.
The car made a roar, rushed out of the scrapyard, and disappeared into the night.
Bobby was lying on the ground, covering his bleeding nose, looking at the direction where the car disappeared, his eyes full of pain.
At this moment, a harsh sound of brakes came.
Bai Haorui drove a pickup truck into the scrapyard and braked suddenly beside Bobby. Bai Haorui pushed open the door and ran over.
"Bobby! How are you?" Bai Haorui helped Bobby and asked anxiously.
"Sam...Sam ran away." Bobby's voice was choked with sobs, "I couldn't stop him. I was so useless."
Bai Haorui's face darkened. He looked up at the sky, his eyes cold.
"It was an angel who did it." He said word by word, "It was Castiel who released Sam."
"What?" Bobby looked at Bai Haorui in surprise, "Why did the angels let Sam go? Didn't they want to stop Apocalypse?"
"Because they don't want to stop Apocalypse at all." Bai Haorui said.
"Angel..." he muttered to himself, "Then what do we do now?"
"We must find Sam." Bai Haorui said firmly, "Where is Dean?"
"He's in the living room." Bobby said.
The two of them hurried back to the house.
Dean is standing in the living room, holding the car keys in his hand, ready to go out. His face is terrifyingly gloomy.
"Dean! Sam ran away." Bai Haorui
Dean turned around suddenly, his eyes full of shock and anger.
"What? What's going on?" he roared.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Bai Haorui, "We must find Sam immediately. He must be looking for Ruby now."
At this moment, Dean's cell phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone and glanced at the caller ID, his face became even more gloomy.
"It was a call from an angel," he said.
He picked up the phone, listened for a few words, and then hung up.
"They want me to go over now." Dean said, his eyes filled with helplessness. "They said the time has come."
"Don't go, Dean." Bai Haorui stopped him, "They are just using you. They don't care about your life or death, nor the life or death of Sam. They only care about Apocalypse."
"Do I have any other choice?" Dean smiled bitterly, "If I don't go, they won't help us. A few of us can't defeat Lilith's army, nor can we stop Apocalypse."
"I'm going to find Sam." Bai Haorui said, "You go to the angels, but remember, don't completely believe them. Stay vigilant. We will keep in touch at any time."
Dean nodded and looked at Bai Haorui, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Haorui." he said.
"We are brothers." Bai Haorui patted Dean on the shoulder, "Take care."
Dean turned around and walked out of the living room. A white light flashed and he disappeared at the door.
Bai Haorui looked at the place where Dean disappeared with solemn eyes. He turned to Bobby and said, "Bobby, stay here and be ready to support us at any time. I'll go find Sam."
"Be careful, Haorui." Bobby warned, "If anything happens, you must call me."
Bai Haorui nodded, picked up the mahogany sword, turned around and ran out of the living room.
He started the pickup truck, took out Five Emperor Coins and began to calculate.
