The garden area was in flames.
Near the road into the city, a gas station spewed thick smoke and ashes. The fire engulfed nearby villas and mansions, licking the trees and corpses on the roadside. The cries and wailings of survivors could be heard from the French Quarter nearby. Dozens of people were injured. Police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances surrounded the road.
Two helicopters patrolled the sky.
No one sleeps tonight in New Orleans.
In the center of the Garden District, outside the 20-story building where fierce fighting took place.
A blond man in pajamas sat on the curb next to the flower bed, spitting and describing to another man in a black suit, sunglasses and a poker face holding a recorder,
"I was sleeping in the bedroom at the time and was suddenly awakened by a sharp pain. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a terrifying monster. It was two stories tall and had two heads... one hand was waving a weapon that was larger than a human being. I used my ax as a mountaineering pick to climb up the building." The man pointed at the terrifying holes in the wall above his head. "The other hand grabbed me out of the bedroom and threw me downstairs."
"I thought I was dead, and then a superman saved me."
"Superman?" The man in the suit raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, when he reached out to me, it was as if he released...well, the telekinesis in the movie, which fixed me in mid-air and slowly lowered me to the ground!" The man clasped his hands in front of his chest in gratitude, "God witnesses, I didn’t lie, a dozen guys over there can testify!”
"Don't get excited. I don't doubt you. The world is a big place and there will always be some special beings... What does he look like?"
"About 30 years old, white, blond, with a beard around his mouth, gray sportswear...Mr. FBI, if you find this hero, please bring me my thanks."
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Sit down for a while and someone will arrange it soon."
"Help call an ambulance. My arm seems to be broken."
The man in a suit walked towards a lady with short black hair and a dashing appearance under the street lamp next to him.
"We have roughly found out that a telepath lurking in the city repelled the regenerator of the Voodoo Sect, and his whereabouts are unknown... The telepath has the initiative to save ordinary people. He is inclined to be kind, and the danger level is level three."
The woman shook her head and looked around at the empty place near the building. A blurry and quickly disappearing picture kept flashing in her pupils: a man surrounded by dozens of weapons with electric light, and his whole body was filled with platinum light, " Mastering a large number of extraordinary weapons, awakening life energy, telekinesis, barely reaching level 4, he needs to be listed as a key tracking target, compared with the attackers in Dog Town, Denver, Bohoe County, Cheyenne, and Faraye."
"clear."
"Now you take people to the gas station and gather all the witnesses to prevent the news from spreading further."
The man in the suit nodded and left.
The woman glanced at the dozen survivors who were being questioned by the flower bed opposite, then looked at the streets and high-rise buildings that were in a mess like a hurricane raging, shook her head and sighed,
"The world is getting more and more chaotic. Don't these monsters and ghosts know how to respect the Law of Convergence? Spirit Butterfly..."
The air rippled, and a translucent ripple approached the short-haired woman.
"Calm down all nearby witnesses and remove any unnecessary memories..."
"As you command, leader."
…
On the other side, after dealing with the enemy, Dean quickly returned to the double-gallery house, cleaned up the battle traces and blood stains along the way, called the surviving Jacob and others, and drove out of New Orleans.
Twenty miles to the west, down a remote ramp.
An RV, Jaguar, and Chevrolet were parked next to a tall oak tree. The oak branches and leaves swayed in the wind and made a soft sound, like the sound of quiet bagpipes. Eight people gathered in a circle and listened to Dean's account of the ins and outs of the entire incident.
"Everyone, don't worry about Victor and Shane anymore. They have rested forever and can sleep peacefully in the future."
"But why did Shane do this?" Scott said angrily, "Because she was betrayed by her husband, she cursed an innocent child, and finally attacked the city frantically to take revenge on the entire world? Did she go crazy? "
"Young man, you are still too young," Zumbi said, rubbing his bald chin. "Once a woman finds out that her husband has cheated on her, it is not surprising that she will do terrible things. But that is not important, for Todian's sake, With the dangerous regenerators gone, the honey island swamp travel business can continue.”
Dean shook his head silently, flashing through his mind the conversation between Shane and Victor before they disappeared, feeling that the relationship between Mars, Shane, and Lina was not a simple one of cheating and betrayal.
Maybe more complicated, but it's all over.
"Do you still have any humanity and compassion?" Katie glared at the black man, looked at the sky, and said with trembling red lips, "So many people died in New Orleans tonight, and you still want to do business?"
Farage also looked at his money-obsessed father displeased, who spread his hands and shrugged.
"Well, I was wrong. In the past two days, I will perform voodoo rituals for free to save these poor dead people, so that they will not be used again and become resurrected corpses."
"Samson is dead too." Trent muttered gloomily, "He has a wife, children and a beautiful family, so he obviously deserves to die the least."
"We two careless single losers survived." Bob took a sip of whiskey, his eyes were red,
"This is God's will," Jacob recalled that the two-headed man's feet were inexplicably hanging motionless in the air, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, "because you two sincerely regret the bullying and violence against Victor in the past, Apologize to him and accept the punishment, so God allowed you to survive. But Samson never faced up to his mistakes and repented for them. He only cared about his own life, so he paid the price."
"You feel sorry for your old friend, and take more care of his wife and children in the future."
Trent and Bob looked at each other and nodded heavily, "We will go to Baton Rouge as soon as daybreak."
…
"Everyone, all good things and pains must come to an end." Dean snapped his fingers and stared into everyone's eyes one by one. "It's time to separate, but before that, I must remind you not to reveal this to anyone. As for the experience of time, just pretend that nothing happened and you never knew me. It’s best for you to leave New Orleans for a while and avoid the limelight.”
After consuming the divinity points, without the blessing of the divinity realm, Dean could no longer brainwash people once and for all.
"Think of all this as a dream?" Scott looked at Dean's face, recalling the bizarre experiences during this period and the incredible power shown by the other party. A trace of confusion and unwillingness flashed in his eyes. A humble Asian boy Will my son return to a boring and boring life again?
"Don't worry, buddy," Zumbi made an OK gesture to Dean, "I'm keeping a secret about you. I don't want to be targeted for no reason and never live in peace."
"You saved our family's life, I swear to God," Jacob solemnly promised, holding up the cross, "We will keep your secret."
Katie's eyes sparkled as she added gratefully, "Our road trip isn't over yet and we won't be returning to New Orleans anytime soon."
Trent and Bob also guarantee
Dean nodded.
"You're leaving in such a hurry? Don't you want to accompany Gretchen?" Farage said with some reluctance. In just a few days of working together, she saw the conveniences of superpower investigation, which will be of great help to her career as a police officer. She really wasn't willing to lose such a thick leg.
"If I continue to stay, I will cause unnecessary trouble and danger. Gretchen's injury has also been cured by me. She will return to Las Vegas to recuperate for a few days. She will become active again before officially joining the LVPD."
"Then if we need help in the future, can we contact you?"
"Let's talk when we get a chance... Well, Gretchen has my contact information."
"Okay then, see you later."
Dean stood up from the tree stump and glanced at the sky. The dark night was about to pass, and a faint white light appeared on the horizon.
He returned to the RV, gently kissed the sleeping Gretchen's forehead, touched her cheek, and finally injected a soft life energy into her body.
"Bye now."
He got into his car and waved to the people beside the RV.
"Wait, man, where is your destination?" Scott reluctantly opened the car window and trotted along, "Would you like to go to Texas for vacation with us? The RV is very comfortable to sit in."
Katie next to her blinked her big eyes and looked over expectantly.
Dean raised his eyebrows, this family was actually in the same direction as him.
But he thought about it carefully and shook his head,
"See you soon."
Boom!
The jaguar disappeared from view along the road heading east.
…
"How do you feel?" Dean looked at the passenger seat and used his mind to control the steering wheel. His "shadow" had a new look, as if he was looking in the mirror.
"It's great..." Shadow's moonstone-like eyes flashed with human excitement, "The moment I was born, I seemed to become omnipotent, like a god. Even now, I clearly feel that I am different from before. It’s the same, my mind is clearer, I can even smell your scent, I have become another kind of existence, no longer a simple ghost, I can do many things that were unimaginable before.”
He said solemnly, "But no matter how you change, I will always be your most loyal partner."
Dean hugged Ying's shoulders happily, "Next, we will try our best to find Lena and Guangming. By the way, let's have a drink?"
"Um."
Dean took out two glasses of juice from the space, drank with Ying, and then performed a series of simple tests together.
After being promoted to the domain level, Ying Yuan's abilities have been upgraded in all aspects——
He can independently extract energy from the void to maintain his body, or his body can transform from empty to solid by eating and convert food into energy. Dean only needs to provide weak mental power, so the duration of existence has been increased from more than 3 hours to 24 hours a day.
The maximum distance between him and Dean increased from more than 300 meters to less than one kilometer. This range belongs to the realm of shadow. Enemies identified in the realm will be suppressed and all attributes will be reduced by 10%.
Shadow can teleport every hour and reach any place in the domain. At the same time, Dean and Shadow can teleport to each other's location.
The intensity of telekinesis, the speed of telekinesis flight, and the efficiency of controlling ice, fire, and lightning energy also had a huge qualitative improvement, allowing Xing to crush the two-headed regenerator at that time.
However, the specific extent of improvement can only be clarified through professional testing.
In addition, Shadow can now grow by killing powerful souls and absorbing soul essence, similar to Dean's supernatural hunter, instead of relying on the pitiful 1 point of progress per day.
The attribute increased by Shadow upgrade has been increased from 0.5 spirit to 1 point of spirit.
…
After confirming Wanying's breakthrough.
Dean put his hands on the back of his head, closed his eyes, mentally checked the prompts in the system, and counted the remaining harvest——
Your will breaks through the critical point of 20 points, and you awaken a specialty - Mirror Shield: Will breaks through the second level, and you put a thick armor on your soul. You are resistant to all attacks that directly target the soul, such as curses, Mental shock, etc., the resistance is slightly enhanced. If the attacker's will is lower than yours, he may be counterattacked by the soul attack, and the probability is proportional to the difference in will.
…
Dean grinned with satisfaction. He used to have the Iron Man's expertise to protect his body, but now he has the Mirror Shield's expertise to protect his soul.
His ability to survive and adapt has been greatly enhanced.
In addition, his will and spirit were once again in balance, he felt much more relaxed, and his mental internal friction was greatly reduced.
Next comes the event - The Undead of Honey Island Swamp is completed!
You found Trent, Samson, and Bob, who burned Victor Crowley on Honey Island on Halloween night many years ago, and gathered them in New Orleans.
Instead of sacrificing three arsonists directly to Victor, you pursue the source of the immortal curse.
You found several photos of strange women in Thomas's former residence. After digging through the details, you found the town of Bay St. Louis where they lived before Honey Island.
In the small town, you investigated the entanglement between Thomas, nurse Lina, and his seriously ill wife Shane, and found out that Victor Crowley was Thomas and Lina's biological flesh and blood, and that the curse on him came from Shane's resentment before his death. .
You go alone to 63 Clam Street where Shane died, seriously injuring his soul, and destroying the mystery house.
You rush all the way back to New Orleans. After a fierce battle, you eliminate Shane and Victor at the same time, completely ending the undead in Honey Island Swamp and destroying the source of the curse.
The event completion is 200%.
Withdraw rewards.
Experience value +170, character level lv6 (380→550/900).
Depending on the level of completion, you can choose two special rewards, and one of them will be greatly improved:
A. Super power - Resurrection Corpse Creation lv0: Forcibly imprint your will on the souls that have just left the body, allowing them to return to their dead bodies and become reanimated corpses that obey your words.
The strength and physique of the returned corpse are slightly enhanced, and the sensitivity and perception are slightly weakened...at level lv0, the returned corpse will inherit 5% of all your attributes, but its memory and IQ will be low.
Improve this ability and slightly increase your will attribute.
Note: This ability requires Willpower no less than 15.
B. Specialty - Cursed Body: You will bear the curse and be filled with loneliness and anger.
The resentment, unwillingness, pain, despair, and all kinds of negative emotions accumulated in your heart will be converted into free attribute points to enhance your strength. The more painful and desperate you are, the faster the conversion efficiency will be.
C. Superpower—Call of the Underworld lv0 (comes from Baron Samedi, the God of Death, greatly increases the reward):
When using an ability, you gain a bonus of 5 to your Will and 5 to your Spirit.
You will open a passage to the special plane of the underworld, summon skeleton chains to wrap around the target, attack it, destroy the target's body and soul, or force it to be sealed in the underworld.
If the sum of your willpower and spirit is lower than yours, you will not be able to resist.
Improve this ability and slightly improve your will and spirit.
Note: Will and spirit are not less than 20
D. Superpower - Voodoo Spell lv0: Use special spells to enhance or weaken the target's power, positive and negative energy, positivity, love, money and prosperity, success, spirituality... to make the target suffer from disease and misfortune, or make the target healthy, happy and lucky...
The effect is directly related to your will attribute.
Improve this ability and slightly increase willpower
E. 1 free attribute point.
…
After reviewing the harvest, Dean decided on option C immediately.
This is a very powerful skill that combines control and attack, and can be used to target special individuals.
Master the Skeleton Chain, and if you really can't destroy the enemy, drag the opponent into the underworld and imprison him.
Yes, although Dean doesn't know what the underworld is, it is definitely not suitable for living people. It is not easy to come back after going there.
In addition, this skill improves both will and spirit attributes at the same time. It has huge growth potential and is not to be missed.
…
One option left.
Dean had no choice but to exclude options A and D. After all, if he chose C, there would be no extra skill slots.
The only ones left are B's expertise and E's attribute points.
B is too extreme and requires inner pain and despair to be effective.
It is impossible for Dean to let himself remain in despair for a long time just for free attribute points, and there is not much chance to trigger the effect.
But on second thought, this expertise may be useful in critical moments in the future.
"I choose B or C."
Feeling the slight changes in his body, Dean took out the Supernatural Encyclopedia and began to record the relevant literature on Voodoo, Resurrected Corpses, and Reborn People, and at the same time reviewed the attributes:
