Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 305 295. The whole story, crazy ideas

In the dim twilight, among the trees on the roadside.

Dean looked at the respectful man in the floral shirt in front of him and felt a mysterious and tenacious connection.

The mark left by the Serpent of Power is not as strong as the connection established by the system between Dean and Shoal, but it is equally deep into the soul, and Dean can destroy the other person's soul with just one thought.

But he could also feel that the level 3 mimicry skill meant that the body of the snake demon also only had an upper limit of level 3. At most, it could only control three targets with the powerful snake brand in the body.

"Introduce yourself in detail," he ordered the man.

"Damien Hirst," the man's eyes were full of unparalleled respect and worship from the soul, "Born in Chicago...26 years old...Special Operations Department Group 4, codenamed Warship Bird...Super power is level Shaping of energy…summoning messengers, transforming.”

Dean nodded. This ability is somewhat similar to mimicry.

"Who ordered you to follow 11? For what purpose?"

Damien bowed to Dean, "On behalf of Hawkins Laboratory, I came to investigate the organization behind the robbery of No. 11. I didn't expect to track down such a powerful being like you. I offended you, and I'm really sorry."

"Hawkins Laboratory...it turns out that this is the problem." A coldness flashed in Dean's eyes, "I didn't look for trouble, but you guys came to your door. Damien, what was your plan? Capture him. 11, and then kill the others?”

Damien quickly shook his head, "You are more proficient in time and space abilities than 11, and time and space users are extremely scarce in the department, and every one of them is a treasure. So I will apply for support from the department and bring you in."

Introduction? He's a prisoner.

Dean asked,

"Besides you, are there any other scouts in this operation?"

"It's just me at the moment," Damien said in a tone like a butler who considers his master, "but I didn't send a message to the laboratory before eight o'clock in the evening. There will be many people with abilities to take over."

Dean looked at his watch. There were still two hours until eight o'clock in the evening. There was no need to worry. "Have you sent back the news you just detected?"

"Did not have time."

Dean's expression softened a little, "So the Hawkins Laboratory is still led by Martin Brenner?"

"Dr. Brenner's poor performance was transferred to another lower-level department, and the current manager is Dr. Sean Moreno."

"What project is he working on, the origin of superpowers?"

"The current project is the exploration of different dimensions. A small collider is being used in the laboratory to bombard the cracks in the wall in order to establish a stable and spacious passage."

A flash of surprise flashed in Dean's eyes, and he further asked about the "passage", and a series of doubts in his heart were solved.

It turns out that the real origin of the Rift Monster invasion of Hawkins is No. 11, also known as "Jane".

Five months ago, Jane, who was still locked up in the laboratory, suffered strong emotional stimulation during a sensory deprivation experiment. Her mind exploded and she tore apart the space nodes on a wall of the laboratory, opening a connection between the Upside Down World and Hawkins. of cracks.

But the initial rift was narrow and rudimentary, with limited contact with the Upside Down World, and no Rift Monsters entered or exited it.

Then the Soviets invaded the laboratory. They used a large amount of explosives to detonate the cracks and further expand them into passages.

Dr. Sean, who succeeded Martin in a few months, used a collider to bombard the cracks, allowing the channel to truly stabilize.

The huge energy released during the bombardment interfered with the nearby space, opening up the northern suburban forest where the laboratory is located, which is a weak space node near Jonathan's home, and released the Rift Monster.

This led to the incident where Jonathan was attacked and disappeared on Christmas Eve.

The cause and effect became extremely clear.

The system was shaken, and the progress of the incident jumped from 70% to 80%.

But Dean frowned slightly, and the progress was not yet 100%. He then asked, "How far have you reached in your research on the upside-down world?"

Damien gave a detailed introduction to the information that the laboratory had used small machinery and messengers to detect from behind the passage, and most of it overlapped with what Dean had seen.

The air in the Upside Down world is toxic, and the surviving monsters include vines, slit monsters, demon dogs (infant slit monsters), demon bats (a kind of flying monster)... none of them have very strong combat capabilities.

But Dean noticed that Damien had not discovered the most terrifying BOSS in the upside-down world, the eight-legged spider that covered the sky, otherwise he would not have bombarded the passage so stupidly.

"What was Sean's purpose in establishing the tunnel?"

"Plunder the unique resources of another world..."

"Greed makes people lose their minds and lead to madness." Dean shook his head, looked at Damien, and his tone became stern, "Aren't you worried that monsters will invade Hawkins on a large scale and lead to irreversible consequences?"

Many of Dean's relatives and friends live in Hawkins, and he will never allow monsters to destroy this peaceful town.

"There is a well-equipped army stationed around the laboratory, which is enough to deal with most crises." Damien explained without reservation. "And as far as I know, there are also powerful secret weapons stored, which are enough to defeat Hawkins." To level the ground, it’s no problem to destroy a group of level 2 and level 3 monsters.”

Dean's head flashed, "What secret weapon?"

"I don't know the details. That thing is in the custody of Dr. Sean."

Dean paused, "Are there other superpowers in the laboratory?"

“There’s not enough manpower, so it’s just me for the time being.”

Dean looked the man up and down, like a judge looking at a prisoner, "Tell me honestly, have you ever done anything that hurt innocent people or committed crimes before?"

"If you mean killing and harming people without principles, then it has never happened before." Damien's face was solemn, and there was a sense of righteousness in his expression. "I admit that there are quite a few Anton Sieg in the special operations department. There are madmen like that who kill innocent people indiscriminately, but there are also many defenders who work hard to eradicate supernatural monsters and protect the world."

Dean nodded, and his sharp eyes turned soft. Since Damien is a good character, he will keep him alive and continue to work for him. He has the power of the snake brand and is not afraid of his betrayal. "Do you know what to say when you go back?"

"Don't worry, Master." Damien leaned forward, every muscle on his face revealed loyalty, "I will never let anything threaten your safety, and no one will know the secrets of you and Eleven."

"We will meet here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I need more information about the secret weapon of the Upside Down World and the laboratory."

"You will see it tomorrow." Damien transformed into a frigate bird again and flew into the low night. He quickly returned to the laboratory building. After entering the corridor, he secretly released a black moth and entered it. He entered the shadows of the floor and quickly searched.

Dr. Sean got the news and came forward to ask,

"Damien, have you found out? What is the organization behind No. 11?"

"These enemies are well hidden and extremely vigilant," Damien said with fearful eyes. "It will take me more time, but within this week I should be able to fully understand their details. By then, not only Eleven will be back to help. We maintain space-time tunnels, and the department rewards us for defeating potentially hostile organizations."

Sean showed a satisfied smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a big credit if the thing is successful."

Damien raised his coffee cup towards him, "By the way, Doctor, I want to know more about the rift and the other world. I have to prepare in advance for entering the other world."

"I'll send someone to bring it to you right away."

...

Jonathan's house.

The children were eating pasta around the coffee table in the living room and making up excuses to deceive the adults. Jonathan also took a shower and changed out of the tattered and eye-catching down jacket.

At this time, Jane noticed the figure suddenly appearing at the door, smiled, picked up a plate of spaghetti and handed it over.

"Dean, eat some of the dinner I left for you."

Dean touched her little head and said, "I'm not hungry. It's been so long. Have you made up a reasonable excuse?"

"Jonathan heard a strange noise coming from the forest on Christmas night when he was rushing to Barbara's house," Dustin said vividly as he wiped his nose. "He pushed his bicycle and chased after him, but the result was unexpected. He accidentally fell into a hole and fell asleep. He only woke up today and was rescued by us."

"If there is no ready-made hole, we will make one." Mike looked at Jane, "Let the most outstanding superpower architect come forward!"

Jane smiled shyly.

"Okay, this can barely fool Joyce. You must remember the next request-" Dean's smile faded, his tone became solemn, and he talked about another matter, "You are not allowed to talk on the phone again in the future. Mention superpowers, and Jane can’t say a single word.”

"Why?" the boys became nervous,

"The person behind Jonathan being trapped in the upside-down world is monitoring all the calls in the town," Dean warned. "As long as you mention her, you will be captured by those guys and locked up in the laboratory, and your family will also be arrested." Will be affected by this.”

Although the group of children were young, they were all very clever. When Dean was intimidated, they quickly raised their hands to assure themselves, but they couldn't help but curiously asked,

"Who are they?"

"More terrifying than Demogorgon," Dean said in a deliberately sinister tone, "If you rookie adventurers dare to interfere, you will die without a burial place!"

The foursome looked at each other and said, "We don't dare anymore! We don't dare anymore!"

"Jane," Dean turned to the girl and stared into her eyes, "you cover your face, wear sunglasses and a mask, and cover your whole body. You can indeed hide it from ordinary people. But don't forget who your opponent is - —A group of superpowers, mastering incredible surveillance skills. Did you know? In the afternoon, you were exposed. The person in the laboratory turned into a bug and stared at you. You took him back to Mr. Irving in a swagger. Home."

Turned into a little bug and returned home?

The girl's long eyelashes trembled, and she pulled Dean's sleeve with a pale face, "Did something happen to Mr. Owen? Am I going to be taken back to the laboratory and locked up?"

"It should be like this, but this time I helped you deal with the danger in advance." Dean took this opportunity to teach the naughty child a lesson, "Not every time I clean up the mess for you, if you do this again next time Accidentally, all your relatives and friends will be implicated, and they who are otherwise healthy will be tortured even worse than Terry."

Jane's nose twitched when she heard this, she lowered her head and began to sob at a loss. Her tears fell down her face like broken pearls.

"Sorry, Dean, I will never run around again. I swear I will never run around again!" "Come on, Master! Let her cry more sadly!" Qianquan gave Dean a telepathic message at an inappropriate time. , "Her emotions are rich in energy and delicious..."

Dean immediately wanted to pull out the badge and beat him up.

Will suddenly stood up and handed Jane a tissue, looking up and glaring at Dean angrily, his eyes bulging out like a frog, "Man, you can't be so mean, Jane is only nine years old, she is just a child, she has to make friends and The freedom to go out and play!”

"Yes, Jane is just a child, but she is different from you," Dean shook his head and glanced at the faces of the four people. "She has talent, but she also has to bear heavier pressure."

"Jane, I don't want to completely restrict your freedom, otherwise what's the difference with your PAPA? I just hope you will be more careful next time. In addition, you will train harder and become stronger as soon as possible so that you can protect your family."

The little girl bit her lip, stared into Dean's eyes and nodded seriously, "I understand, I know you are doing it for my own good."

"Stop crying, I'll take you back later." Dean scratched Jane's tears with his thumb, handed her over to the group of four for comfort, and finally looked at the sleepy-looking Jonathan in the middle of the sofa. This time After turning on the life perspective, I immediately discovered some abnormal changes that I had not noticed before - Jonathan's white light of life, which was originally stronger than ordinary people, revealed bits and pieces of black, just like a group of trends on the surface of an incandescent lamp. Light black bug.

This phenomenon immediately reminded Dean of the unique black light of life of monsters in the upside-down world.

What's going on now?

After Jonathan stayed in the upside-down world for a day and a night, the light of life transformed into a monster?

He reached out and patted Jonathan on the shoulder, and poured in a stream of life energy to start inspecting, repairing, and removing foreign objects from the inside out. "Man, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Jonathan yawned, "I'm a little tired. I'm worried and scared all the time inside, so I haven't closed my eyes. I have to go to bed early."

Just as he said this sentence, he suddenly burped, then his face changed drastically, he got up and rushed out of the house.

"What's wrong, Jonathan?" Will chased after him worriedly, and saw his brother vomiting into the snow in the yard. In addition to the spaghetti he had just eaten, the vomit contained disgusting black mucus.

“God, what are these black things?”

Dustin, who followed him out, slapped his nose in disgust.

"That's disgusting. Are they earthworms?" Lucas took out a flashlight from his arms and shone it fiercely. He immediately illuminated dozens or hundreds of small, flat, long, spindle-shaped, squirming insects, which made people's scalp numb. .

"No, it's more like a small leech," Mike unconsciously pulled Jane back a step.

"Stand away, don't get infected by them!" Dean noticed that Jonathan couldn't vomit. He stretched out his hand and used his mind power to wrap the vomit on the ground together with the large snow into a ball. With a bang, it ignited, and the red flame blinked. Burn it to ashes.

Then he casually opened a space node and threw the ashes into the void, destroying them completely.

Everyone present was stunned by Dean's dazzling operation.

"How do you feel now?" Dean looked at Jonathan with the perspective of life again and felt much more pleasing to the eye, and the light of his life turned pure and flawless white again.

"Much better, thanks man," Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief, his expression as relaxed as if a hundred pounds of burden had been lifted, "But I don't know what the hell is this?"

"I guess it's some kind of parasite in the upside-down world." Dean glanced at the system. The act of cleaning up these bugs seemed very important, causing the event progress to jump to 85%. "They are hiding in the air. As your breath enters your body, fortunately it was discovered early and it has not left any incurable symptoms. But I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up."

"Well, tonight, you, Will, and Joyce will stay at the town center hospital and don't come back. By the way, remember to call Barbara. She's worried about you."

Hearing his family and Barbara, Jonathan's eyes flashed with warmth and he nodded, "Yes, it's all up to you."

……

Next, Dean returns the kids to town and hands Jane over to an angry Chief Hope.

Paqui and Lena are then warned not to travel to the north side of town anytime soon.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening he returned to Catherine's house.

After a good meal, they put their arms around the woman's shoulders and leaned against each other to look at the dim sky outside the window. The stars and moon seemed to be covered with a gloomy gauze, hazy and unclear.

Coupled with today's experience, an upside-down world full of crises, and a terrifying eight-legged spider.

Concerns arose over the fate of Hawkins.

He couldn't help but ask Catherine,

"If one day I asked you to move away from Hawkins, would you be willing to leave?"

"Ah?" Catherine's green eyes flashed with confusion, and she reached out to wipe the grease stains from the corners of his mouth, "Are you tired of this place?"

"No, I just occasionally feel like I need a change of environment."

"I work at Hawkins Newspaper, and my colleagues are all in harmony with each other..." Catherine murmured, her red lips slightly curled up, and she hugged Dean's arm tightly, with a trace of attachment in her eyes, "If you want to move, , No matter where, I will go with you."

Dean was slightly moved by this unconditional trust. He couldn't help but hold her petite and soft body in his arms. He wanted to hold a large hot water bottle and touch her lips and neck.

"Giggle, itchy... let's get to the point, you suddenly ask, is there going to be a big trouble in the town?" The reporter lady saw something with her professional and keen eyes.

"It's not a big problem, but you must not go near the northern suburbs recently."

……

After Catherine fell asleep.

Dean came to the yard and started to make preparations. The passage in the laboratory was a huge hidden danger and had to be closed tomorrow.

But first, he further tested the enhanced version of the black zone in his mind.

Although it is currently possible to contact and communicate with the target of observation to a certain extent, in this state, the fantasy space cannot be opened, and it is impossible to transfer items remotely.

In addition, the soul power that Dean transmitted through the Black Realm could only reach ten tons at most, which could barely create fire, ice, and lightning. The power was greatly weakened compared to the original body's peak state.

But even so, there is no pressure to kill some ordinary people or supernatural creatures not exceeding level 2 through the black area.

……

Next, Dean took out dozens of Slit Monster skeletons in the space, made them float in the air with a thought, and then released countless red flames to wrap them all, melt them, remove impurities, and cast them into bone arrows.

Engraved star runes.

At the same time, he reviewed the action of rescuing Jonathan during the day, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his rudimentary skills had an intolerable flaw - he could not locate the space, and he was completely unable to decide the destination of his roaming. Most of the time, he had to try his luck.

"Shallow, is there any way I can roam directionally?"

"Of course, Master!" Qian Tan, who had finished his emotions outside, jumped in from the window, "I will serve as the spatial coordinates to locate you. If you put me at home, no matter where you are, I will be there." I can sense the nodes pointing to me and perform directional roaming.”

"Your biggest role is not as a spatial coordinate," Dean shook his head. "You have to follow me at all times and advise me."

"Then you need other items or creatures as spatial coordinates." Qiantan thought, "For example, Damien you branded today, you control part of his soul, and you can feel his soul breath no matter how far away you are. By selecting a node in this way, you can easily directional roam to him.”

Dean nodded,

"What items can be used as spatial coordinates to locate me?"

Shoal flew around Dean, like a naughty child, "Your collection of extraordinary weapons, copper wheat pennies... can all become spatial coordinates. As long as you persist in polishing and instilling ideas with life energy and spiritual power every day, in a few years The transformation will be successful..."

Dean couldn't help but feel grateful that he had the foresight to maintain the fifty-odd extraordinary weapons for less than half a year, saving a lot of time.

After the training is successful, distribute them to trusted people to carry with them or place them in a safe house. They can sense these locations at any time and turn on node-directed roaming.

"Is there a faster way?" Dean put down the carved star arrow and asked,

"Yes," a strange light flashed in Qian Tan's eyes, "using the bones in your body... Master, they are connected to your blood and soul. They have grown with you for nearly twenty years and have a deep bond with you. Even countless time and space can't isolate this connection. You can take out a part of the bone and slightly modify it to get the best spatial coordinates."

"And you showed your super self-healing ability in the trial. Even if you cut off a finger and made it into a space coordinate, you can heal yourself quickly."

Dean's expression was shocked by Qian Tan's words, as if some kind of natural prison in his mind was suddenly opened, and endless thoughts rushed out——

The supernatural material he has been pursuing comes from other monsters.

But he never considered that he was also a "monster"!

And as a peak level five creature, Dean's skin, tendons, bones, and quality exceed 2% of supernatural creatures, far superior to the pile of junk materials from the level rip monster in front of him.

Coupled with his super self-healing ability, he himself is an inexhaustible treasure trove of biological materials!

Not only can it be used to create spatial coordinates, Dean can completely pull out his own tendons and use them as bowstrings, and boil his mucous membranes to make adhesives.

Skin made into armor.

Bones are used to create arrows and weapons.

Even though it takes a lot of life energy to restore the bones, he can get the materials once every ten days and a half at most!

……

Dean opened his mind and felt that the future was bright.

"I am a huge library of extraordinary materials... but is this too perverted?"

Dean's eyes turned to the badge. When the moonlight shone, it was as dark as the deep sea.

Qian Tan trembled all over and immediately stood up straight as if facing the commander.

"Master, you are a supernatural creature, why do you need to set limits on yourself like ordinary people?"

Dean was silent for a long time, then grabbed the long fang knife from the space, pointed it at his right index finger and chopped it off.
