"Okay, you are awesome." Dean gritted his teeth and said word by word, "When you are more capable, you will make your own decisions. Then you can follow your grandpa and don't come to me."
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking at Sam again. The light of the bonfire danced behind him, stretching his shadow very long, and he felt angry and painful, as if a piece of him had been taken away.
Sam stood there, looking at his back, frowning slightly, as if there was a void in his heart, and as if he didn't feel anything at all. He wanted to catch up, but his steps moved and then stopped.
He doesn't feel that he is wrong.
But seeing Dean angry, I felt a little unspeakably bored.
Like a thick layer of glass, you can see your emotions but not feel the temperature.
Dean angrily walked to the edge of the camp, leaned against a tree, and kicked the trunk of the tree so hard that he grimaced in pain.
"Are you done with your anger?"
A calm voice came from the side, Bai Haorui came out of the shadows, holding two bottles of beer in his hand, and handed him one.
"Did you hear everything?" Dean took the beer and took a big gulp. The wine was so cold that it burned down his throat.
"Yeah." Bai Haorui nodded and leaned against the tree next to him, "Don't blame him entirely. If the soul is not intact, the ability to empathize will naturally degrade. He didn't mean to hurt you, it's because he can't feel your sadness."
"Can't you feel it?" Dean smiled bitterly, "Then he is still Sam? There is only a shell left, pressing against his face, remembering my things... but he doesn't understand me at all."
"He understands. It's just that he's not in the mood." Bai Haorui said lightly, "It's just like when you have a cold and can't taste it. It's not that the food is tasteless, it's that your tongue is bad. He still recognizes you as a brother in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort to find his soul."
Dean was silent, drinking beer in big gulps without noticing the foam on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that Bai Haorui was right. But the truth is the truth, and the emotion is the emotion. Who can feel better when seeing his own brother become like this?
"What should we do next?" Dean asked in a dull voice, "Really follow them? Work for Crowley?"
"Let's go with it first." Bai Haorui said, "The transaction between Samuel and Crowley is not yet clear, and we don't know where Purgatory is. We have to rely on them to find the soul of Sam. Once we find out the trump card, it will not be too late to settle the score."
Dean nodded, threw the empty wine bottle aside, and wiped his mouth. "Okay. I'll listen to you. But I have to know what they are doing. Let's go and take a look."
The two of them walked to Samuel's office. As soon as they reached the corner, they saw Sam walking out of it with a calm expression. When he saw the two of them, he was stunned for a moment.
"You didn't leave?" Sam asked.
"Why should I leave?" Dean sneered, "Who will wipe your butts when I leave?"
Sam didn't hear the sarcasm in his tone. Instead, he seemed relieved and nodded. "That's good. Samuel didn't let me join the interrogation and said he would deal with the soul first."
"It's good not to be allowed to join." Dean curled his lips, "We will check it ourselves."
He took out his mobile phone and shook it. There was a moving red dot on the screen. "I installed GPS on Samuel's backup mobile phone. The route the truck took just now is marked. It should be where Alpha was interrogated. If you follow it, you can see what they are doing."
Bai Haorui nodded. "Okay. Leave now, don't get discovered."
The three of them sneaked out of the camp quietly, got on the Black Beauty, followed the red dot on the GPS, and drove towards the abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the car lights cut through the darkness, like a sharp knife, cutting away a corner of this conspiracy.
The abandoned warehouse in the suburbs late at night looks like a giant beast crouching in the darkness.
The iron doors were locked, and the windows were boarded shut. Only the dim light shone through the gaps, like the cloudy eyes of a giant beast.
It was quiet all around, not even the chirping of insects, only the whine of the wind blowing through the iron roof, which made people feel heartbroken.
Dean parked the car in the woods far away. The three of them got out of the car and crouched over.
"The defense is very tight." Dean took a look and saw two hunters patrolling at the entrance of the warehouse, both holding guns in their hands, pacing back and forth.
Bai Haorui said nothing, raised his hand to make a seal, and a faint golden light flashed across his fingertips.
A hidden barrier spread out under the three people's feet, like a transparent cover, covering up the body shape, breath, and footsteps.
"Let's go." He whispered one word and took the lead in walking forward.
Dean and Sam followed closely behind, watching helplessly as the patrolling hunters walked towards them, but they seemed to be completely invisible and walked straight past them.
Dean was secretly speechless--.
The three of them walked around to the side of the warehouse and got in through a broken vent.
The space inside is huge, filled with abandoned shelves and machines, and the dust is so thick that it can reach your feet.
The lights were on in the innermost interrogation room, the door was ajar, and voices could be heard inside.
The three of them quietly walked over, hid behind the shelves, and looked inside.
Alpha Vampire was chained to an iron chair on the wall with a thick iron chain. His body was covered in wounds, his mouth was bleeding, and his shirt was torn in tatters.
But there was no expression of pain on his face, instead there was a bit of ridicule, as if he was watching a play.
Samuel stood in front of him, holding a syringe in his hand, which contained dark red dead blood - it has a strong inhibitory effect on vampires, making them weak and distracted.
"Where?" Samuel's voice was cold, and another needle was stabbed into Alpha's neck, pushing the dead blood in, "Answer me, where is Purgatory? Where is the entrance?"
Alpha grunted in pain, then pulled the corner of his mouth, showing a bloody smile, his voice was hoarse like sandpaper. "Save it... This little pain is like giving me another vacation."
Samuel sneered, threw the needle on the iron plate next to it, and made a crisp sound, "I have plenty of time to waste with you. You will tell me sooner or later."
"Exactly, I have one too." Alpha said lazily, his eyes scanning behind Samuel, with a bit of joking, "Why, you are the only one? What about your two little grandsons? Why didn't you come today?"
Samuel's face darkened, he said nothing, turned around and walked out.
Alpha glanced in the direction where Dean and the others were hiding, and said with a little playfulness, "Oh? No, here we come. Why are you hiding? Come out, kids, is it fun to hide and seek?"
Dean felt nervous - was he discovered?
Bai Haorui frowned slightly. This Alpha has a keen sense of smell, and can smell the smell of strangers through the hidden barrier.
The three of them looked at each other and could only walk out from behind the shelves and removed the barrier.
"How can I help you?" Alpha looked at them, the sarcasm on his lips became more intense, "You can't go anywhere anyway."
"Don't be too confident." Dean took out the gun and pointed it at his chest, with the safety on. "Believe it or not, I'll kill you with one shot?"
"Really?" Alpha laughed, "This place is sealed tightly, and the blood of the dead is flowing all over my veins. Do you think I still have the strength to activate my telepathy and call for help? Indeed, I don't have the strength to do that, Dean."
Dean frowned. "You still know my name?"
"Of course." Alpha glanced at Sam, his eyes becoming playful and greedy, as if looking at a rare treasure, "After all, I was your adoptive father for a while. Dean, tell me, did you like that time?"
"Now I'm asking you something." Dean's face darkened and he took a step forward, "You vampires have made such a big move recently and formed an army. Why are you going to start a war?"
"When your ancestors were still warming themselves around the campfire and fearing the dark, I was a nightmare in the dark." Alpha's voice was low, with ancient arrogance, "Now you think you can hurt me?"
"Okay, you can say whatever you want." Dean said coldly, "But you have to answer me first. Samuel arrested you just to ask about Purgatory's location? Where exactly is Purgatory?"
Alpha ignored him, his eyes were glued to Sam, and his nose moved as if he was sniffing something. Then he showed a weird smile, as if he had discovered some fun toy. "You are so cold. You have no soul. You are such a rare thing. Can you feel how free you are?"
Sam looked at him expressionlessly and said without any wavering in his tone, "Answer my question."
"Answer me first." Alpha smiled like a child who found a new toy, "What does it feel like to have no soul? Are you... very hungry?"
The air suddenly froze. Dean's heart tightened, and he stood half a step forward, blocking Sam, as if he was afraid that Alpha's words would hurt him. But he also knew that Sam couldn't feel it at all. At this time, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Stop talking nonsense to him." Dean interrupted the confrontation between the two, "Let's ask you, where will a monster like you go after death? It's not Heaven or Hell, but where is it? Legoland?"
Alpha laughed lowly, his shoulders shaking with laughter, as if he had heard a big joke, "You humans, haven't you even read Dante? Purgatory."
"Purgatory?" Dean was stunned. He and Sam looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in the other's eyes, "Purgatory is it true?"
"Of course it's true." Alpha laughed even harder, "It's filled with the souls of monsters like me, countless from ancient times to the present. There are vampires, werewolves, and all kinds of evil spirits, all waiting in there, waiting for the chance to get out. But where it is is a mystery. And your kind grandfather is trying to type the answer out of my mouth."
This is Samuel walking in for Sam Dean, Bai Haorui There are no surprises here.
Dean frowned even more and looked at Samuel: "You arrested him just to find Purgatory's location? What do you want Purgatory for?"
