Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 295 285. New power, servants

The lazy sunshine at nine o'clock in the winter morning poured into the window, illuminating a black and blue face on the white hospital bed.

Hope's upper eyelids squirmed violently a few times, then he opened his eyes and sat up sweating profusely.

For a moment, strong soreness and tingling surged from all parts of his body, causing him to cry out.

"Take it easy. Your skin injury is quite serious. You can't do strenuous exercise in the past few days." Dean helped Hope sit on the bed and handed over a hot dog. "You must be hungry after lying down for a long time."

Hope's bloodshot eyes stared at Dean nervously, "Where are the brothers and the children? How is everyone?"

Dean smiled gently, "Don't worry, the children are not injured and are staying with their families in the corridor outside. However, the injuries of the police officers are no less serious than yours. They will not be able to get off the ground unless they lie in bed for a week."

"As long as you're alive..." Hope breathed a sigh of relief and started to eat breakfast hungrily. While eating, he cursed, "Fake! You are so fucking crazy, you dare to attack the police station!"

After venting his anger, Hope looked around cautiously, making sure that no one was in the ward and the wooden door was closed before asking, "What the hell are those people? Why can't they kill them all, and then disappear immediately after they die?"

"I explained to you," Dean looked at him calmly, "They come from other parallel universes, so after death, the bodies and the items they brought will return to the original universe."

Hope fell silent after hearing this, his cheeks bulged high, and he bit harder, as if he was gnawing at the flesh of the bastards who attacked the police. After a while, he spoke, "I'm not a physicist. I don't know anything about parallelism." Universe, all I need to know is will they still come?”

Dean shook his head solemnly, "I have completely solved the hidden dangers, and they will never harass Hawkins again."

"So you found that messy badge?"

Dean reached into his arms and rubbed the original badge that was pretending to be dead, "Yes, you want to see it?"

Hope shook her head quickly, "No, I haven't had enough of being a stable police chief, and I don't want to be associated with that kind of dangerous thing anymore."

"Besides, there is a huge problem before us now. The police station is full of bullets and traces of scuffles. The injuries of the guys cannot be faked. With so many witnesses, there is no way to cover up."

Dean nodded.

Hope continued to ask, "If I say that a group of gangsters attacked the police station and there was a fierce exchange of fire with the guys, but there was no body, bullet casing, or blood left on the ground, I can't prove that we killed the murderer, and we can't give the worried town officials Let the people give an account."

"No, there are corpses of gangsters." Dean shook his head, his eyes becoming very subtle, "You have killed all sixteen gangsters and transported them to the morgue."

Hope's eyelids twitched and he sat upright, "Wait, what are sixteen gangsters?"

"Have you forgotten? They are a group of thugs who came from Lafayette not far to the north and committed all kinds of crimes such as robbery, kidnapping, and trafficking." Dean said meaningfully. "They were killed in the suburbs north of Hawkins last Wednesday. At that time, he was accidentally discovered by eight high school students in Marcus. The high school students ran away, and then they began to retaliate and silence them."

Hope said angrily, "What kind of story are you making up? There are too many loopholes."

"So I need your help to polish it up. Anyway, you have the final say on the security of the town."

"Then where did you get me sixteen murderers out of thin air?"

"Didn't I say, from Lafayette."

Hope was shocked and realized something. A horrified light flashed in his eyes, "You went to that place specifically to kill a group of people?"

"Otherwise, why would I come to see you now?" Dean didn't deny it, "But don't worry, I killed all the damned people who had done all the bad things, and they left happily without any torture. You can use these corpses Reported to the townspeople."

With a complicated expression, Hope grabbed the police uniform on the cabinet next to him, took out a Camel and lit it.

Is this really something humans can do in one night?

Dean patted his shoulder, "Remember to discuss this with your brothers, not to mention Supernatural and me... By the way, Steve's six high school students have already reconciled their statements with me."

"You don't need to remind me, I don't want to be paid attention to by Hawkins Laboratory for no reason."

After five minutes.

There was another knock on the door, and Kit Harrington walked in with a group of townspeople carrying large and small packages of gifts, and surrounded Hope on the hospital bed.

Harrington had a rare smile on his majestic face, and was so enthusiastic that Hope was flattered, "Chief, you led the police officers to bravely engage in firefights with the thugs, annihilating them all, and protecting our children and other innocent townspeople. His personal safety was honored and he was injured.”

"You are the heroes of the town of Hawkins. In order to thank you for the sacrifices made by your police department, I will make a donation to each police officer and the police department in my personal name. Please accept it..."

Hope looked at the faces that had questioned and complained about themselves yesterday but were filled with gratitude today. He just felt how wonderful life was and grinned heartily.

……

Dean left the ward and walked along the long-lost lively corridor of the small town hospital to the benches on the left.

Catherine, who had changed into a blue velvet coat, was flipping through her notebook, Nancy and Steve sat together and twirled a peaked cap, Golan and Hala bit their ears intimately, and Jonathan was showing Barbara My beloved Kodak camera tells me my photography experience.

"Dean, you're here!" Catherine smiled and stretched out her hand to him.

Dean grabbed his soft little hand and glanced at everyone, "Is everything okay?"

"Great, that terrible badge has finally disappeared. We no longer have to worry about killers traveling across parallel universes to hunt us down." Golan breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the previous few days, his state was obviously relaxed, and the corner of his mouth With a smile from the heart, the freckles on his face are full of joy,

"We can play and take photos as much as we want again." Hala turned around in a circle comfortably, her blond hair dancing with the sunlight shining in from the corridor, reflecting the dazzling light.

"To celebrate the successful passage of the crisis, I'm going to hold a party at home in two days. Everyone is here, and there's enough beer and drinks!" Steve raised his hand and bowed to Dean sincerely, "Dean Ann, Catherine, please do me a favor."

Dean thought about it and continued to use his mind power to enhance the hint and asked them to keep it strictly confidential. He nodded, "No problem. Let's relax together then."

"By the way, man, is there really nothing wrong with our bodies?" Jonathan looked at his muscled forearms and said, "I did an experiment after I went back last night. I can do a hundred pull-ups at once without getting tired. , whereas before I could only do twenty.”

"That's right, my physical strength has increased several times." Golan looked at everyone and said with excitement. "In the past, I could only last for five minutes, but now it's half an hour."

"Idiot, don't show off everything!" Hala raised her middle finger at him.

"I just discovered last night that my short-sighted eyes have returned to normal, from [-] degrees to zero degrees." Barbara also took off her tortoise shell glasses and looked at everyone with a pair of dark eyes, "The world has become extremely It’s so clear and colorful that I’m not used to it. There’s no way to explain this kind of thing scientifically.”

"Isn't this just like Spider-Man," Steve complained, shaking the head of the plane.

"No need to worry, there will only be positive changes," Dean comforted. "The feedback from the badge will slowly improve your physical fitness, allowing you to be stronger and run faster. At the same time, you will have better sleep quality and a healthier body."

Under Dean's life perspective, the life energy of these high school students has doubled, but it still belongs to the category of human beings and cannot reach the level of supernatural creatures.

Their psychological quality has improved even more. If ordinary students encountered last night's killings, they would have collapsed and had to see a psychiatrist, but these guys still have the heart to party.

The benefits of the badge spilling out from the cracks are enough for them to last a lifetime.

The high school students were relieved, and Nancy pursed her lips again, "Dean, what are you going to do with that badge?"

"I have contained it and it will never come out to harm anyone again."

After hearing this, a group of people were disappointed and their eyes shone, "Dean, to be honest, are you from some special department of the country, so you have such perverted skills, single-handedly singled out a group of killers, and found that badge?" "

Facing the curious faces, Dean raised his index finger and shook it, "Keep it secret. Anyway, you don't want to be caught in the laboratory and subjected to dissection and research. Just remember what I say and don't go out and talk nonsense. Also, don't use your power." Bullying classmates.”

"Of course, we swear!" Golan said especially excitedly, "From now on, I will change my ways and never bully any classmates again, otherwise I will die like Marcus."

"Remember your promise."

"When are you going to teach us some moves?" Steve asked enthusiastically, "I have strength and speed but no fighting skills at all. It's really a waste."

"There is a chance."

Dean chatted with the high school students for a while, left their contact information, and then left the hospital with Catherine. Basking in the sunshine, he noticed some melancholy and confusion on the faces of the people around him.

"What's wrong? You look listless,"

"Seeing you and these young and energetic children, I feel that I am already old." Catherine smiled calmly and touched her smooth and white cheeks. "I was thinking, if I had the same vitality as them who received a little bit of badge gift That would be great, that way, maybe my aging speed will be slower."

"Who said you are old?"

"I'm nearly ten years older than you, and you Asians don't look old." Catherine frowned, "When you are in your thirties, if I stand with you, I'm afraid others will think that we are mother and son. Woolen cloth?"

"In my eyes, you are as young as teenage girls like Nancy and Hala, and your skin is smoother and more delicate than them." Dean hugged her slender waist and looked at her charming and delicate face, "And you are gentle, beautiful, Empathetic and brave, you stood up to protect them at the police station and almost got hurt."

"Really?"

"Yeah. By the way, I am an omnipotent superpower. Sooner or later, I will find a safe way without side effects to keep you young and beautiful forever."

"Don't lie to me, be careful I take it seriously."

"I swear to the sun of truth."

Cather felt warm in his heart when he heard the promise. He grinned in a charming arc, and his hair fell like a waterfall onto the shoulders of the man next to him.

Dean rested his chin on her head and glanced at the small bag she was carrying. "I forgot to mention that everything you recorded in your notebook about the case must not be published in the newspaper."

"Yeah, I understand. If I want to send it out, will state staff come to check my meter the next day?"

"Yes, just keep these records as a little secret between us."

"Then when I retire in my sixties, can I write them into my memoirs and publish them?"

"I will personally help you publish it." Dean said, "Maybe it will make you famous!"

"Boom..."

……

Dean sent Catherine home for some tenderness and then returned to his uncle's house.

"Hey, you kid still knows how to come back." Paqui, who had a sweat towel wrapped around his neck, looked at his nephew displeased, "In the past few days since I returned to Hawkins, my feet have not touched the ground and I haven't seen anyone. I am spending time with my girlfriend. There’s no need to be so hard to separate and neglect your mother, right? By the way, I heard that the police station was attacked last night, could it be your kid’s fault? "

"I didn't cause the trouble, but I did go to help and resolve the matter satisfactorily,"

"Then Hope should really treat you to a meal."

Dean walked straight to the bathroom on the second floor, "By the way, where are Lena and Kelly going?"

"I went to the next town to look at a house. They said I would move there after Christmas," Paquet stood by the window with his hands on his waist and looked at the lawn outside. "I don't know why I am in such a hurry to move. I can't." Will the family stay a little longer?”

This is because I am worried that the law of convergence will implicate you.

Dean said to himself and entered the bathroom to wash up.

Recent experiences flashed through my mind.

From entering New Orleans to face the two-headed reborn, to Mexico facing the phantom snakes and hell monks in the temple, and now the original emblem.

In just over two months, he experienced several high-intensity battles, although he obtained a large number of attributes and resources with the supernatural hunter.

But his encounters became more and more dangerous, and he had a vague intuition in his heart - in this world, the more powerful supernatural creatures are, the more severely they will be oppressed by the law of convergence.

When he grows up to be no weaker than a god, will he be like a god, forced to hide in a dark corner where no one knows, afraid to show his power and interfere with things in this world?

But it's useless to think too much. Dean is now at best among the fifth level, and he is still far away from the gods, so why worry so much.

……

The misty water vapor blurred the dark eyes.

Dean turned his attention to the attribute list. After killing ten future killers in the battle last night, the perception under the influence of the supernatural hunter: 19 → 21.

The black trench coat that deprived him of his own perception provided him with two points of perception attributes.

When the perception breaks through 20 points, there is no new specialty, but a strengthened specialty - Mirror Shield: Will Breakthrough Level [-], which improves will resistance. Strength breaks through the second level, improves physical resistance and comes with counterattack.

(New) With the second level of perception breakthrough, your perception organs are covered with armor, the ability to resist sensory impact is slightly enhanced, and the duration of negative perception status is greatly shortened.

……

"Not bad." Dean used his mind power to scrub his back and grinned, "This has filled up the last shortcoming of my own defense."

Dean looked at Shadow lv3 (400/400) again.

After the battle last night, Shadow absorbed enough soul essence and finally reached the critical point.

upgrade.

Shadow lv3→lv4(0/500).

Gain 1 spirit point.

Spirit: 23.8 → 24.8.

Field strength growth: The range is expanded to two kilometers, and all attributes of the enemy are weakened by [-]% → [-]%.

Manipulate energy intensity increases.

In the bathroom, the shadow body suspended in mid-air suddenly collapsed inward infinitely and condensed into a rotating round hole.

The sunlight outside the window gap, the lights on the ceiling, and countless colorful light points were attracted by the rotating force field. They emerged from the void and flew towards the round hole, causing it to rapidly expand outward and grow limbs. , torso, head... and finally turned into a liquid human form.

The shadow that was exactly the same as Dean exuded an increasingly powerful aura, and his eyes radiated outwards with colors that were constantly flowing like the Northern Lights.

Close your eyes and begin to digest your own changes.

……

"Why does the shadow have no new characteristics when it is upgraded to level 4? Is it because it uses divinity points to master the field in advance?"

Dean thought about it without disturbing it, and turned his attention to the event "Hawkins Murder":

You used "licking blood" to read the memories of the deceased Marcus and Samantha, and rushed to the snowy outskirts with Jonathan to find a magic circle engraved with Kufa's body.

You gather six surviving high school students and discover that the badge is the cause of everything.

You help high school students fend off a killer attack and discuss the theory of parallel universes.

With the help of Professor Aiden, you learned the secrets of the original land, the badge, and the skills, and discovered the truth behind the murder - the original badge passed through a series of cruel trials to screen out the skills. inheritors.

You tracked the creations of humans, animals, stars, and dreams, found the badge, and passed difficult trials to capture the badge, greatly increasing your completion level.

You help Director Hope cover up the truth of the case, and the completion level increases slightly.

Event completion rate - one hundred and fifty-six percent.

You can submit at any time.

submit.

经验+180，个人等级lv6(840→1020/900)。

Whether to promote.

Promote.

Personal level lv6→lv7 (120/1100),

You gain 1→2 free attribute points.

System capabilities: God's perspective lv5 → lv6: observation range 100 meters → 200 meters, insight is greatly improved, and the accompanying search (black zone of the mind) effect is enhanced.

Limbo shuttle lv1 → lv2: The charging efficiency becomes faster and the duration increases.

……

Depending on the level of completion, you can choose from two special rewards:

A. Consume the skill of the original badge to obtain super power—skill lv0:

This is a great art of manipulating space and time, but the initial level can only have the power of space.

You can observe the unstable nodes in the stable space at any time, and try to consume your own energy (mind power, life energy...all energy) to open or close these weak space nodes to achieve defense, hiding, attack, transfer of items, teleportation , across the world and other purposes, please research on your own for details.

After reaching high levels, you will gradually master the mystery of time.

Improving this ability will slightly increase all your attributes.

Note: You can bypass the system and directly absorb the energy of the origin badge, and then enter the origin place to rebuild your spirit and soul and acquire skills, but you will be marked with the original mark.

Moreover, skills that are not provided by the system can only improve three attributes when upgrading, not all attributes.

B. Characteristic - Perception Deprivation: Select this option, and the lv5 shot will gain an additional characteristic, which is more powerful than the "perception suppression" that has been mastered. When launching an impact, you will receive a 10 perception bonus.

The target affected by the impact has lower perception than you and will be forcibly deprived of all senses and sink into nothingness.

But ability needs to be continuously exercised.

C. Features - Life Energy·Destructive Form: Selecting this option, level 5 combatants will master an additional feature in advance, allowing life energy to condense into a huge entity with stronger destructive power and lethality to deal with huge monsters. Target.

The destructive form will become more powerful as the life energy increases.

D. Servant - Original Emblem (can be renamed): The Original Emblem is a strange object that was buried in a magical place for hundreds of years before awakening its spirituality. Even if it loses the "skills" condensed for a long time, it still has various unique abilities. Ability is a rare little helper.

Select this reward, and the system will help you forcibly transform the badge that has lost its skill into your servant, and it will obey any of your orders without violating it. Life and death are all decided by your thoughts.

But you have to provide it with the energy to survive.

Note: This option requires option A before it.

……

"Not a bad reward." Dean raised his head, pointed at the shower head, opened his mouth, took a sip, and spit out the water, "But the system has started to learn how to bundle sales?"

Dean originally planned to directly consume the badges to obtain skills, and then choose two from the system rewards, which was equivalent to getting three special rewards in one event.

But the system seemed to see through his plan in advance and eliminated this cheating option.

However, he also made compensation. The skills he learned could only improve 3 attributes by upgrading.

The skills given by the system can be upgraded and strengthened with 6 attributes, which is obviously more growth-prone.

And Dean doesn't want to be branded with some origin for no apparent reason.

"Choose A first."

As for the remaining item, B and C both make Dean very excited, and they don’t have to occupy a column.

Too bad it's not an urgent choice.

After becoming a superpower for so long, Dean has gradually realized that he has many inconveniences on his own, and the biggest inconvenience is that he has no ability to spread himself.

Many times, he was unable to investigate and monitor at the same time. After all, the shadow could only move within a few miles of him. But if there was another servant, Dean's energy would be greatly liberated.

Furthermore, it is produced by the system, and there is never any risk of betrayal. It also has other abilities to be explored, making it the most cost-effective.

"Choose D for the second option."

You have obtained Skill Level 0, Servant (original badge)...

The system provided skills, but it did not give Dean any strong stimulation to reshape his soul and spirit. It was just a tingling feeling, and something seemed to be loosening in his body.

"But now is not the time to experiment with craft."

He turned his eyes to the panel and checked his attributes one last time.

……

"After killing ten of me last night, my attributes finally crossed 20 points."

Dean wiped his wet hair. His attributes had been rising sharply in recent times. The growth was so fast that it made him breathless. He felt unbalanced and impetuous, and he didn't dare to exert force when making out with Catherine.

"You have to spend some time polishing it."

But then there was a "goo" sound.

Under the light, a round, brass-colored head stood on the shelf on the bathroom wall.

The sixteen eyes of the badge villain flashed with confused colors, as if he didn't understand his current situation, but then his eyes suddenly cleared, and he opened his four-petal mouth towards Dean and let out a childish sigh,

"Oh, the supreme master who gave me a second life, I have finally waited for you."

The round body of the badge villain jumped in the air, landed on the slippery ground, rolled precariously twice, and lay on Dean's instep, with a big face raised, showing a look of respect that he would die for. "I'm always at your disposal."
