On the Ohio country road at midnight, the roar of the Impala's engine broke the silence. Sam was lying on the passenger seat, his fingertips quickly sliding the touch panel of his laptop, his brows slightly frowning. "Dean, look at this - in the past seventy-two hours, two bizarre deaths occurred in Hawkins Town. The deceased were workers at construction sites. They died as if they were hit by heavy machinery, but no traces of equipment could be found at the scene."
Dean's hand holding the steering wheel paused, and he glanced at the screen. "I bet five dollars that it must have something to do with the supernatural." He stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly accelerated, "It happens to be along the way, so we'll catch this 'accident' while walking."
Bai Haorui in the back seat is sitting cross-legged, with his eyes slightly closed, and is running True Fire Art to warm and nourish the meridians.
Five Emperor Coins strung on a red rope
It floated quietly in his palm, swaying slightly with the bumps of the car. Suddenly, the copper coin began to spin violently without any warning. The friction of the copper surface made a "buzzing" sound, which never fell. He subconsciously opened his eyes. "Something is wrong," he said in a deep voice, "There is a very strong abnormal energy fluctuation ahead, and it is not a sinister evil."
Forty minutes later, the three arrived at the construction site of Hawkins Town. The cordon was looming in the thick fog, and the red and blue light of the police lights reflected the wet ground with an eerie sheen. Dean climbed over the cordon in a familiar manner, and waved the forged Federal Bureau of Investigation certificate to the police officer on duty. "Special Case Investigation Division, take over the scene."
In the center of the construction site, three temporary shacks were in a devastating state. The outermost shack tied with straw collapsed completely, and the straw was scattered on the ground, mixed with dark red blood; the wall of the wooden house in the middle was forcibly knocked out of a huge hole, and the fractures of the wooden boards were uneven, as if it had been torn apart by some kind of brute force; the innermost simple house made of concrete blocks was intact, with only a few deep scratches on the door panel.
"The deceased are Todd and Richie," Sam squatted beside the ruins of the straw house, pushing away the scattered straw with his fingertips, revealing the vague flesh and blood underneath, "Todd died on the spot He died. Richie was overtaken while running towards the wooden house and his skull was broken." Dean walked around to the concrete house and knocked on the thick wall. "This thing can block the attack. It seems that the murderer's brute force is not to the extreme."
Bai Haorui did not approach the body immediately, but walked to the area where the blood stains were most concentrated. He squatted down and lightly touched the blood stains on the ground with his fingertips. A trace of pure True Qi penetrated the blood stains along the fingertips, and was instantly rebounded by a violent energy. His fingertips were numb, and he took back his hand with a frown. "It's not a werewolf. Breath, werewolf claw wounds will retain the evil spirit, and the energy in this blood stain is all pure mental power - someone amplified and guided the murderer's evil thoughts, which is like a catalyst for hatred." He raised Five Emperor Coins again, and the direction of the coin's rotation was pointed directly at the concrete house, "The survivors inside are still alive, but their souls have been greatly frightened and are riddled with evil spirits."
The door of the concrete house was suddenly pushed open, and a trembling man with a bloody face fell out. It was the survivor Kyle. When he saw the three people, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and cried incoherently, "He is crazy! The man with the wolf head tattoo, he ran over like a mad dog! Todd said that the straw house was ventilated, Richie insisted on building a wooden house, but I insisted on using concrete... When he crashed through the straw house, Todd didn't even have time to scream. I watched him throw himself at Richie. The wooden house collapsed. I quickly locked the door of the concrete house. He banged outside for a long time before walking away cursing..."
Bai Haorui looked at Kyle's frightened appearance, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart. "This kind of mental power catalysis does not contain any Yin energy, but is like the manifestation of obsessions unconsciously released after the soul leaves the body. It is a bit tricky to have such strong mental power.." When he stood up, he deliberately swept True Qi all over Kyle to help him calm down, otherwise he would probably be sick. "Send him to the hospital first. The source of this case is probably related to 'obsession'."
Early the next morning, Kyle was lying on the bed in the ward of Hawkins Town hospital. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were unfocused, and he was clutching the sheets with both hands, as if he was still experiencing the nightmare from last night.
Sam pulled up a chair and sat by the bed, took out a notebook and pen from his backpack, and wanted Kyle to describe the appearance of the attacker. He lowered his head and drew a few strokes, then handed it to Kyle: "Does the man with the wolf head tattoo you mentioned look like this?"
Bai Haorui came over to take a look and couldn't help but laugh out loud - stickman drawn by Sam The simple drawing is too clumsy: the round head is connected to an uncoordinated torso. The so-called "wolf head tattoo" is a black vortex drawn on the chest, and the limbs are like four matchsticks. The overall look is both funny and abstract. Dean next to him even sneered unceremoniously, "Sam, if it doesn't work, let's stop drawing it in the future!"
Sam's cheeks were slightly red, and he glared at Dean with some embarrassment. "At least I can give him a rough idea." Bai Haorui suppressed a smile, took out a neatly folded yellow talisman from the homespun bag he carried, and handed it to On Kyle's lips, his voice was gentle. "This is a Daoist requiem in your mouth. It is drawn with cinnabar mixed with morning dew. It can soothe your frightened soul and calm you down." He paused and asked specifically, "You just said that the attacker looked like a 'mad dog'? What kind of madness was it specifically? Eyes, movements, and what else did he say?"
Kyle took the talisman tremblingly and held it under his tongue. A cool breath spread down his throat, and his disordered breathing gradually calmed down. "His eyes were red," Kyle recalled. His mind was full of fear. "His eyes were bloodshot and unfocused, and his movements were strange. He crawled on all fours for a while at a very fast speed, and then slammed into the straw hut. He kept shouting 'liars' and 'all liars' in his mouth. I couldn't understand what he was saying specifically."
Bai Haorui's fingertips quietly glowed with golden red True Fire, True Fire condensed into tiny light spots, and while Kyle was talking, he gently touched his eyebrows. The moment the light spots blended into the skin, Kyle was pure and clear The body trembled, the color on his face gradually recovered, and his eyes became much clearer. "The evil spirit dissipated," Bai Haorui took back his hand and shook his head at Sam and Dean, "It's not demonic possession, it's pure mind control, which amplified his own violence."
After leaving the hospital, Sam found out through the police intranet that a similar case occurred in the forest on the edge of Hawkins Town three days ago: a camping couple was attacked, the girl Julie was injured, and the boy Mark disappeared. The scene also left traces of "brute force destruction".
"Mark's whereabouts are still unknown, and Julie is receiving treatment in the town hospital," Sam said while driving. "The police found a basket of leftover pies at the scene, which were detected to contain hallucinogenic ingredients." Dean whistled. "Hallucinogen pie?"
Bai Haorui was sitting in the back seat, his fingertips constantly rubbing Five Emperor Coins, sensing the energy fluctuations along the way. "The energy of the earth veins in the forest is disordered, and the source of the abnormal telepathy is most likely over there."
Half an hour later, the three arrived at the campsite deep in the forest. The abandoned tent fell crookedly on the ground, and there were obvious impact marks on the surrounding trees. There were a few pie crumbs scattered on the ground, and there were no clear clues.
Then Julie was found. Julie was sitting on the hospital bed in a daze, with his knees wrapped in thick bandages. When he saw the three people approaching, he immediately asked warily, "Who are you?"
"Federal Bureau of Investigation, investigating the disappearance of Mark," Dean showed his ID and tried to be as gentle as possible, "Can you tell us what happened at that time?"
Julie hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly, "In the evening when we were camping, we met an old woman in a floral skirt. She gave us a basket of apple pies and said that she was a nearby resident. I felt dizzy after taking a bite. Mark said that the pies were fine and told me not to think too much. In the middle of the night, I was woken up by the movement outside the window and saw a A little girl in a white dress, about seven or eight years old, stood outside the tent, looking straight at me. Just as I was about to call out to Mark, she suddenly disappeared. Then the tent was hit hard, and Mark rushed out to check, and I heard his scream, and then I couldn't hold on anymore and fainted. When I woke up, he was gone."
The three returned to the campsite Bai Haorui and turned on the EMF they carried with them Detector, the instrument emits a sharp beep as soon as it is turned on, and the pointer swings wildly, almost breaking the dial. He closes his eyes, runs True Fire Art, sinks True Qi into the ground, and senses the direction of the earth's veins. "The electromagnetic reaction is extremely strong. The energy of this girl's soul is very pure, without any evil, but with deep resentment, as if she has been imprisoned for a long time, and her obsession has condensed into substance."
He squatted down, took out seven copper coins from his backpack, and arranged them on the ground according to the direction of Big Dipper. He also took out a cinnabar pen, and using True Qi as a guide, he quickly drew a simple Yang Gathering Array between the coins.. The red cinnabar lines glowed with a faint golden light on the ground, and the copper coins also vibrated slightly, and the chaotic energy around them gradually calmed down. "This is Yang Gathering Array," he explained, "It can temporarily suppress the remaining telepathy here to prevent more people from being affected."
Sam looked at Yang Gathering Array on the ground, and remembered the details of the two cases. "The straw house, wooden house, and concrete house correspond to "The Three Little Pigs", and the old woman's pie corresponds to "Hansel and Grey" "Special", this is obviously recreating a fairy tale." Dean leaned against the tree trunk and rolled his eyes. "Adventure in Fairy Tale World? Sam, are you sure we are not making a children's horror movie?"
Bai Haorui stood up and patted the dust on his hands. "It's unlikely that it was done by an adult." He looked at the two of them, "Adults' obsessions are mostly complex, with entangled interests or deep hatreds. They would not commit crimes according to fairy tale plots so neatly. Instead, they are like children who regard the fairy tales they hear as a 'guide to punishing evil' and use their own way to punish those who she considers to be 'bad'."
Sam's eyes lit up. "It makes sense, children tend to confuse fantasy with reality, especially if the child himself has strong resentment..." Bai Haorui nodded, but secretly thought, "But the soul of an ordinary child cannot have such strong telepathy and can control adults to commit crimes. There must be a deeper reason behind this. Perhaps the soul is trapped, and it is only through the accumulation of time that such a strong power can be gathered."
Based on the clues provided by Julie, the three found out that a family in the town had recently had a family dispute. The girl Cindy was reported by neighbors many times to have been abused by her stepmother. Cindy's stepmother Martha happened to have an affair with the missing Mark.
Cindy's villa was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere. The weeds in the yard grew tall and the windows were closed. You could vaguely hear the girl's sobbing from inside. Dean knocked on the door. After a long time, the door was slowly opened a crack. Martha poked his head out with a hypocritical smile on his face, "Who are you looking for?"
"Federal Bureau of Investigation, investigating the disappearance of Mark," Sam showed his ID, looked past Martha and looked into the house, "We want to ask Cindy, have you ever seen Mark." Martha's face turned stiff instantly. "Cindy is not feeling well. Just rest in the room. If you have any questions, just ask me."
Bai Haorui's eyes swept over Martha's face. Spiritual Sense glanced toward the room and frowned. "No," he said in a cold tone, "We have already seen that Cindy was locked in the kitchen by you. Her injuries were caused by long-term abuse."
Martha's face changed drastically and he wanted to close the door. Dean held the door panel and forced his way in. The kitchen door was indeed locked. Sam smashed the door lock and saw Cindy huddled in the corner. There were clear slap marks on his face. His arms and legs were covered with old and new scars. The clothes on his body were dirty and torn, and his eyes were full of fear.
"Who asked you to come in! Get out! Get out!" Martha screamed and rushed over, trying to push everyone away. At this moment, Dean caught a glimpse of a small white figure flashing across the stairs from the corner of his eye. The figure stopped at the corner of the stairs, glanced at Cindy coldly, and then disappeared instantly. "Who is there?" Dean immediately chased after him.
Bai Haorui reacted very quickly. He condensed a Soul-Subduing Talisman on his fingertips, and using True Qi as a guide, he threw it out. "Ding!" The talisman whizzed towards the stairs, but disappeared out of thin air when it was about to hit the figure, leaving only a bright red apple rolling to the ground. The apple's skin was smooth, but there was a faint black air.
Bai Haorui picked up the apple, True Qi inserted it with his fingertips, and frowned: "This is the poisonous apple in "Snow White"," he said solemnly, "This child is punishing evil according to fairy tales, but she cannot distinguish between good and evil. Anyone she considers 'bad' will be treated as a villain in the fairy tale and punished accordingly."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Martha struggled crazily, trying to snatch the apple, "This is just an ordinary apple, don't spread rumors here!" Bai Haorui's eyes turned cold, he took out the ink fountain thread from his waist, flicked his wrist, and the ink fountain The thread flew out like a snake and instantly wrapped around Martha's wrists and ankles, tying her tightly to the chair. "Don't move!" He shouted sternly, "How did your child get this injury? You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I don't mind letting you live and die."
Martha was tied up with the ink rope and couldn't move. Her wrists were stinging. She turned pale and shed tears. "I didn't mean it! She was so disobedient and always made me angry. I just wanted her to behave..." Sam took out his voice recorder and pressed the record button. "Not only did you abuse Cindy, but you also had an improper relationship with Mark, right? Is the disappearance of Mark related to you?"
Pressure on the ink fountain line and Bai Haorui Shocked by True Qi, Martha finally broke down and confessed in tears. "Yes! Mark and I were together. He said he wanted to take me away, but I didn't agree. We had a fight... I have Munchausen syndrome by proxy. I need others to pay attention to me. When Cindy is injured, the neighbors will sympathize with me and the doctor will care about me. I can't control myself and want to hurt her..."
Bai Haorui sneered, "How can you be considered a human being by hurting others to gain attention? That girl's soul has already set its sights on you. If we hadn't arrived in time, you would have been just like the stepmother in "Snow White". Get the punishment you deserve." Sam finished recording his confession and called the police. Looking at Martha being taken away by the police, Cindy finally showed a hint of relief in his eyes.
After leaving Cindy's home, the three of them went to Hawkins Town Hospital to investigate based on Martha's confession - Martha mentioned that she had seen the little girl in white in the hospital. At that time, the girl was standing at the door of a ward, staring at the person on the bed.
After hearing the description of the "little girl in white", the nurse's face changed slightly. "You should be talking about Callie," she led the three of them to a ward on the third floor, opened the door, and inside lay a pale girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old. Her eyes were closed, and various tubes were inserted into her body. The ECG monitor showed steady fluctuations., "Callie has been in a coma for ten years. Ten years ago, her stepmother fed her bleach in order to monopolize the family property, which damaged her nervous system and she never woke up. Her father, Dr. Garrison, is a surgeon in this hospital. He comes to read fairy tales to her every day after get off work, saying that he believes he will be able to wake her up one day."
Bai Haorui walked into the ward, and as soon as he got close to the bed, the True Fire Pill between his eyebrows began to beat violently, and the golden red light almost broke through the skin. The Five Emperor Coins on his fingertips also rotated crazily, making a "buzzing" sound. "Sound." "That's her!" He said with certainty, "She is out of body, and her obsession is too strong. She regards the fairy tales her father reads every day as her 'guide to action', and uses her mind power to control those who she considers 'bad', recreating the plots in the fairy tales to punish them."
Dr. Garrison happened to come after get off work. Hearing Bai Haorui's words, he grabbed his arm excitedly. "Can you save her? Can you really save my Callie?" Bai Haorui shook his head slightly, with complicated eyes. "The reason why her soul cannot be returned to its original place is because of you." He looked at Dr. Garrison, "'Life and death are destiny, Fugui is in the sky', Callie should have reincarnated ten years ago. It was you who refused to accept the reality and forcibly used medical equipment to maintain her body. This obsession with fatherly love was like a shackle, trapping her soul in the world, making her resentment and unwillingness deeper and deeper, and finally condensed into a powerful mind, and began to unconsciously 'punish evil'."
Dr. Garrison's face turned pale, he staggered back and lay down in front of the hospital bed, tears dripping down his cheeks and onto the back of Callie's hands. "I just don't want to lose her, she is my only daughter, I can't live without her..." Bai Haorui looked at on the hospital bed. Callie, thinking to himself, "She has been in a coma for ten years, and her soul should have been reincarnated long ago. It was her father's obsession that kept her here. Her soul carries childhood trauma and resentment, and is influenced by fairy tales, so she does these extreme things. If Dr. Garrison can let go of her obsession and let her soul be free, maybe she can wake up and live a good life."
News suddenly came from the police that Paul, who had previously attacked the construction site, reappeared. He kidnapped a little girl who was coming home from school and went deep into the forest. According to eyewitness descriptions, Paul's eyes were red at the time and he shouted "Little Red Riding Hood must die". He was obviously controlled by Callie's mind power and transformed into the Big Bad Wolf in "Little Red Riding Hood".
"I actually want to stop the big bad wolf, it's such a long time!" Dean picked up the shotgun, weighed the dagger at his waist, and smiled to himself. Bai Haorui took out a mahogany sword from his backpack. The sword was covered with fine Three-Five Evil-Slaying Talisman carvings, and the blade glowed with a faint golden light. "Use this," he handed it to Dean, "The peach wood itself can Expelling Evil avoid evil spirits. The Three-Five Evil-Slaying Talisman above was drawn by me using True Fire Pill's True Qi. It can cut off the energy constraints formed by obsession. Paul is now controlled by telepathy. Ordinary weapons are useless against him. This sword can temporarily break the influence of obsession on him."
He took out a few more Safety Talismans from the cloth bag and stuffed them into Dean's pocket. "These are Safety Talismans painted with my essence and blood. They can help you resist the erosion of mental power. Don't be careless. His current strength is not small." Dean took the mahogany sword, weighed it, and patted Bai Haorui on the shoulder. "Thank you, Haorui, but you are a bit of a mother-in-law, so don't worry." Bai Haorui smiled.
Deep in the forest, the fog is getting thicker and thicker, the towering ancient trees block out the sun, and the light is as dim as dusk. Paul is wearing a shabby jacket, and the wolf head tattoo on his arm looks particularly ferocious in the dim light. He presses the little girl against a big tree On the tree, the girl was shaking with fear, and her cries echoed in the forest. "You saw it, you saw me killing people," Paul roared, with red eyes and drooling at the corners of her mouth, "Little Red Riding Hood saw the secret of the Big Bad Wolf and must die!"
"Let her go!" Dean's voice came from behind the tree. He held the mahogany sword and walked out slowly, staring at Paul. Paul suddenly turned his head and saw Dean, like an enraged beast, roaring and rushing towards him, "Mind your own business! You must die too!"
His speed was extremely fast, and with a violent force, Dean dodged sideways, and the mahogany sword swept out and struck Paul on the shoulder. With a "chi" sound, Three-Five Evil-Slaying Talisman on the sword emitted a dazzling golden light, Paul screamed, black smoke erupted from his shoulders, as if being burned by fire, and he staggered back a few steps. However, the red light in his eyes did not fade away, but instead became more crazy. He rushed forward again, his hands turned into claws, and grabbed Dean's throat.
Dean bent down to avoid it, and the peach wood sword took advantage of the opportunity to stab Paul's chest. The blade was half an inch deep, and the golden light erupted again. Paul groaned, but did not flinch at all. Instead, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it tightly. The blade of the mahogany sword was not even aware that the palm was scratched, and the other hand punched Dean in the abdomen. Dean groaned and took a few steps back. His internal organs seemed to be displaced by the shock, and the pain was unbearable.
"Give up, you can't beat me!" Paul roared, pulled out the mahogany sword from his chest, threw it on the ground, and approached Dean. Dean Dropping the blood on the corner of his mouth, he picked up the mahogany sword and sneered, "What I hate most in my life is giving up." He rushed forward again, pointing the mahogany sword directly at Paul's eyebrows - which is the core part of telekinesis control.
Paul dodged sideways, grabbed Dean's arm with both hands, and twisted it hard. Dean was so painful that he was sweating coldly. The Taomu Sword almost let go. He raised his leg and kicked Paul's knee. Paul's knee After bending and kneeling on one knee, Dean took the opportunity to break free and stabbed his forehead with the Taomu Sword again. This time, the sword hit accurately, and the golden light instantly enveloped Paul's head. He let out a shrill scream, the red light in his eyes gradually faded, and his body fell softly to the ground, unconscious.
Dean breathed heavily, walked to the little girl, and patted her back gently. "It's okay, it's safe."
In the hospital ward, Sam is patiently persuading Dr. Garrison: "If you refuse to accept reality, Callie's soul will never be freed. She is using fairy tales to punish others now, but she is actually venting her resentment and pain. If this continues, her obsession will become deeper and deeper, and eventually she will lose control completely. Even her own soul will be swallowed up by her obsession and become a real monster."
Dr. Garrison sat beside the hospital bed, holding Callie's hand tightly with both hands, tears kept falling. "I know, I know it all, but I can't do it, I really can't lose her." Bai Haorui stood aside, running True Fire Art, True Fire Pill in the body rotated at high speed Turning, the golden red True Qi formed a faint halo around him, and he spoke slowly, "Protect is not to force her to stay, but to fulfill her. You think that maintaining her body is to love her, but in fact you are harming her. Her soul is trapped in this unconscious body, suffering pain every day. This pain turns into resentment, which makes her do those extreme things."
He walked to the hospital bed, a soft golden light glowing in his palms. "It's not too late. As long as you let go of your obsession and sincerely wish her freedom, I can use True Fire Art to guide her soul back to its rightful place. True Fire is the most pure sun, which can dispel the resentment in her heart and repair her damaged soul. But if you never let go,
She will eventually lose herself completely and never come back."
Dr. Garrison looked at his daughter's pale face on the hospital bed, and thought of her lifeless appearance over the years, and finally broke down and cried. He lay in front of the hospital bed, his forehead pressed against the back of Callie's hand, his voice choked but firm. "Callie, Dad, I'm sorry You," he took a deep breath, tears falling on the sheets, "It's dad who is too selfish, keeping you by his side, causing you to suffer so much pain. You can leave, if you want to wake up, dad will always be with you; if you want to leave, dad will bless you, hoping that you can get true freedom and happiness."
A trace of relief flashed in Bai Haorui's eyes. He moved his whole body True Qi, condensing the golden light in his palm into a slender thread of light, and slowly injected it into Callie's eyebrows. The golden light flowed along Callie's meridians, and she tightened A tear slowly shed from the corner of his closed eyes, and the originally stable electrocardiogram suddenly showed fluctuations. "The soul returns to its original position, the obsession dissipates, wake up." Bai Haorui shouted softly, True Qi continued to inject, and the True Fire Pill light between the eyebrows became more and more powerful.
A few seconds later, Callie's fingers moved slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. Those eyes were clear and confused. She looked at Dr. Garrison in front of her and shouted softly, "Dad..."
Almost at the same time, Paul in the forest suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes clear again. He looked at the surrounding environment and remembered what he had done before. His face was full of confusion and fear, and he collapsed to the ground.
Bai Haorui looked at Callie who was awake and Dr. Garrison who was crying with joy, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart. "Guarding is not obsession, it is fulfillment. Dr. Garrison understands, but unfortunately there are still many people in the world who don't understand this truth. They regard their obsession as love and end up hurting others and themselves, just like Sam versus Dean, so why not."
Late at night in the motel, the lights were dim. Dean was leaning on the bedside, drinking beer, his eyes tired but with a hint of determination. "Dr. Garrison let go, Callie also woke up," he looked at Sam, "It's time for you to accept the reality, my fate has long been doomed, one year is enough."
Sam suddenly stood up from the chair, his eyes as sharp as knives, and roared, "I won't let you die, absolutely not!" His voice echoed in the small room, carrying long-suppressed pain and anger.
Bai Haorui was sitting on the bed next to him, sitting cross-legged, making seals with his hands, running the True Fire Art warming and nourishing meridians. The True Qi in the body was slowly flowing, repairing the spiritual energy consumed when guiding Callie's soul back to its original position, but his attention was completely on the quarrel between the two brothers. "Dean's contract It was signed with the devil. According to Daoism, this is a dead end against heaven." He was entangled in his heart. "Sam's obsession is the same as Dr. Garrison's, both stemming from deep love, but this obsession is too paranoid. In order to save Dean, he has begun to do whatever it takes. If this continues, sooner or later he will go astray, and may even fall into darkness."
He wanted to speak to persuade, but he opened his mouth but stopped. He understood Sam's character, and he couldn't get rid of the things he believed in, and Dean wanted to die and didn't want to drag his brother down. The current quarrel was essentially two people who deeply loved each other expressing their feelings in the most hurtful way. Da was concerned. "What the hell," Bai Haorui cursed in his heart, "Just persuasion is useless, you still have to let Dean himself arouse the idea of survival. Only if he wants to live, Sam's efforts will be meaningful, otherwise everything will be in vain."
The quarrel gradually subsided. Dean took the last sip of beer, threw the can on the ground, closed his eyes tiredly, and soon snored evenly. Sam sat on the chair, looking at Dean's sleeping face, with complex eyes showing pain, unwillingness, and a hint of determination. After about half an hour, he quietly got up, picked up his coat and backpack, and walked softly to the door.
Although Bai Haorui had his eyes closed, everything within True Qi's perception range was clearly visible. He noticed Sam's movement, True Fire Pill flashed slightly between his eyebrows, and wondered in his heart, "Where is he going? At this time, there is no one outside."
Sam walked to the door, looked back, and said calmly, "I want to go out for some air, I can't sleep." Bai Haorui didn't open his eyes, just nodded lightly, and didn't ask any questions.
Twenty minutes later, Bai Haorui used the Daoist lightening technique and left the motel quietly. He followed the breath left by Sam and finally stopped at a crossroads in the suburbs. The place was deserted and surrounded by dense woods. The moonlight shone through the branches on the ground, forming mottled shadows.
Sam stood in the middle of the intersection and took out salt, gasoline and matches from his backpack. He first drew a circular magic circle on the ground and evenly sprinkled the salt on the edge of the magic circle to form a white line of defense. Then he poured gasoline in the center of the magic circle, took out the matches and lit them. The flame rose instantly, forming a half-meter-high fire ring. The orange-red fire illuminated Sam's face and attracted the surrounding dark forces.
Bai Haorui was hiding behind a tree in the distance, running True Qi to hide his breath, holding his breath and observing. The air in the center of the fire circle began to twist, and the flames gradually turned into a strange green. A man wearing a red dress with a hot figure The beautiful woman slowly walked out of the ring of fire. She was the crossroads devil. A mocking smile appeared on her lips and she looked Sam up and down, "Winchester Family boy, what deal do you want to make? Give me your soul in exchange for your brother's?"
Sam took out Colt gun from his arms, pointed the gun directly at the devil, his eyes were cold and firm. "I am not here to make a deal, I want you to terminate the contract with Dean." The devil chuckled and shook it. Shaking his head, he walked up to Sam, almost touching his face, and said in a joking tone, "Cancellation of the contract? Little guy, you are too naive. I am just a middleman, responsible for transmitting transaction information, and you cannot afford to offend the owner who truly controls the contract."
She walked around Sam and spoke in a low voice with a hint of confusion, "However, I can tell you something." She leaned close to Sam's ear and whispered, "The female devil who is helping you is called Ruby, right? Do you think she really wants to help you? Don't be stupid, she just wants to use you and your power to achieve her own goals. You think you are saving Dean, but in fact you are just walking into someone else's trap step by step."
Sam's face turned pale instantly, and the devil's words were like a sharp knife, piercing the deepest fears and doubts in his heart. He held Colt gun tightly, his fingers trembling slightly, but his eyes remained firm. "Shut up!" The devil smiled even happier, his eyes full of ridicule.: "What? Did I tell you the truth? Do you know that Dean's soul has been marked by Hell. Even if I want to remove it, I can't do it. After it expires, he will still be Hell and suffer torture, and you can't change anything."
Sam's eyes turned cold. He stopped talking nonsense and pulled the trigger suddenly. Colt gun's bullet whizzed with silver light and hit the demon's chest. The demon's body instantly turned into a ball of black smoke, screaming and dissipating in the air, leaving only a pungent smell of sulfur.
Sam stood there, panting heavily, his eyes confused and painful. He looked at the Colt gun in his hand, and then looked at the dark woods, his heart filled with helplessness and despair.
At dawn, the sky gradually brightened in the motel room, and the faint morning light shone on the floor through the window. Dean woke up from his sleep, rubbed his eyes, and saw Sam sitting on a chair, with a pale face, tired eyes, and a faint smell of sulfur. "Where were you last night?" Dean asked, with a hint of doubt and worry in his tone.
Sam avoided his gaze, picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and said vaguely, "I didn't go anywhere, I just went out to get some fresh air. I couldn't sleep."
Bai Haorui was sitting on the bed next to him, wiping his mahogany sword with a piece of soft flannel. The Three-Five Evil-Slaying Talisman on the sword glowed with a faint golden light in the morning light. He pretended not to hear the conversation between the two brothers, but in fact he You can see the changes in the expressions of the two people, and they have mixed feelings in their hearts. "Dean must have noticed something is wrong. He knows Sam so well, how could he not see that he is lying. The contradiction between the two brothers is getting more and more serious." Going deeper and deeper, the secret of Sam, the contract of Dean, and the mysterious Ruby are like three time bombs, you don't know when they will explode. Ruby The purpose of is unknown, the true owner of the contract is unfathomable in strength, Dean's Hell experience journey should be unavoidable, everything in this fucking world has been arranged."
After packing their luggage, the three of them walked out of the motel one after another and got into the Impala. No one spoke in the car, only the roar of the engine and the sound of tires rubbing against the ground. Sam leaned on the passenger seat, closing his eyes to relax, his face still pale; Dean held the steering wheel, his eyes complex. He stared at the road ahead; Bai Haorui sat in the back seat and took out a piece of Safety Talisman from the cloth bag. This talisman was specially redrawn this morning using True Fire Pill's True Qi. The runes on it were more detailed and the yang energy contained in it was stronger.
He quietly leaned forward and put Safety Talisman into Dean's hand. "Wear it," he said in a low voice, "This talisman is more effective than the previous one. It can ward off disasters and avoid evil, and it can also slightly suppress the evil spirits on your body. The scent of a devil's contract. Don't give up hope. We two brothers still have a lot of things to do together, such as finding beautiful girls all over United States and drinking beer from all the small towns. Maybe one day we will find a way to terminate the contract."
Dean took Safety Talisman, rubbed the warm runes on it with his fingertips, and glanced at Sam in the passenger seat with complicated eyes, and whispered, "Thank you, Haorui." He stuffed Safety Talisman into his collar and pressed it tightly against his chest, where the heart was.
