Kai's girlfriend was ripped off.
Or by a woman...
The key is that Kelly actually agreed and followed Diana happily.
What's even more ridiculous is that the biggest reason Kelly agreed to let Diana train and monitor her was because of her damn 'superhero' fetish. That's right, ever since he learned that Diana often disguised herself and went out to do heroic deeds, Kelly's restless little heart could no longer control her inner impulses.
How to put it this way, Kai's attitude towards Kelly has always been relatively conservative. He doesn't want Kelly to go out and cosplay as a superhero when he can't fully control his power. But Diana's attitude is completely different. She really doesn't trust Kelly's demonic power, but since Kelly has this power, she must learn to control it. In Diana's opinion, Kai's approach was not only passive and conservative, but also emotional!
So she felt it was most reasonable for her to supervise Kelly.
Although Kai was a little pained, he ultimately did not stop Diana and Kelly. In fact, he had already seen some signs. Kelly is a person, and she is not a traditional Chinese woman. She has a strong sense of independence, she has her own ideas, and she has her own views on her life. Kai has always known this. The last time Kelly expressed dissatisfaction to him, saying that Kai always left her alone at home.
It is precisely because of this realization that Kai takes Kelly to raid the Death Walker.
But accordingly, Kai can only do this, because he knows that with him around, Kelly will not be in any danger. He knows his own personality, traditional machismo. Even he himself knows that this kind of machismo is not a good thing, but his character is like this and he can't change it. He was always worried that Kelly would be injured and that Kelly would not be able to handle those things. At the same time, he could not be cruel and let Kelly grow up in frustration. Even when he was training Kelly, Kai was not too harsh.
In this case, Diana's proposal is not difficult to accept. At least Kay knew that Diana would never accommodate Kelly.
This will be good for Kelly's development. Always staying under his protection, Kelly may not be harmed, but her mind cannot truly grow. When she has power, her mind cannot match the power, which is undoubtedly a disaster.
Let’s hope Kelly can tolerate Diana’s Spartan upbringing. (The education of the Amazons has many similarities with that of the Spartans)
Just when Kai was sitting alone in the cafe and thinking, the phone rang.
"Hey, who's there?"
"It's me, Bobby, rush to the Carpenter Factory in the South Shore community right now. Matthew is injured and in very bad condition!"
Kai didn't expect that Bobby would call her, let alone that Bobby called because of Matthew!
Although he was full of doubts, Bobby would not play such a nasty joke with him.
"I'll be there soon!"
…
When Kai felt the abandoned factory that Bobby mentioned, not only Bobby was there, but the Wen brothers were also there. They had moved out since Kai's house was destroyed. Kai originally planned to find a better hotel for them to stay in the city, but it turned out that the two of them had too many criminal records, even if Kai helped them eliminate them before. Part of the case record, but during the time they were separated from Kai, they were once again wanted by the federal government for crimes including but not limited to robbery, assault, illegal trespassing, theft, and several murders...
In this case, if you stay in a regular hotel, you will be targeted by the FBI at any time. What's even more unfortunate is that this is Chicago. Although the security situation is poor, the infrastructure is much better than those in smaller cities. Even if you stay in a motel here, you have to enter information on a computer. So the closer they are to a big city, the worse their situation is.
After leaving Kai's house, they could only find some abandoned houses or abandoned factories to stay.
From here we can see how embarrassed these demon hunters are in their daily lives.
It's just that the situation of the Wen brothers is not good now. They are both lying in sleeping bags with pale faces. Bobby and Rufus, the two elders, are giving them infusions and physically cooling them. It seems that the situation is very serious. Not good.
"What happened to them? Where's Matthew?" Kai asked.
Bobby dropped the ice pack in his hand and waved Kai to follow him. They walked to an office in the factory, where there was a freezer filled with ice cubes, and Matthew was buried in the ice cubes. .
"You... plan to freeze him to death?"
Seeing this look, even a well-informed person like Rao Shikai was a little confused. If he hadn't seen Matthew's chest still rising and falling, he would have felt that Bobby asked him to pay homage to the body.
"It's the djinn." Bobby tried to explain, but the first sentence made Kai almost think he heard wrong.
"What?"
"The Djinn."
"The kind like Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, the kind of blue-skinned fool who just rubs against a silly pot and runs away, has no legs, and can grant three wishes? That's what you're talking about, right? ?" I guess everyone knows about the djinn and the like. After all, who hasn't seen Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves? Kai was very impressed, and that was because of the Disney cartoon of Little Dragon Club.
"In a sense, yes, that's it. They can indeed fulfill any wish, but only in dreams." Bobby opened Matthew's eyelids and checked Matthew's pupils with a flashlight. Xiu's pupils still reacted to light, but his condition was very bad, his face became worse and worse, and his body would twitch from time to time. "Deng gods have been feeding on humans since a long time ago. They usually hide in larger ruins or caves. They are unique and rare. They will use a special venom to put people into a psychedelic state. Then we use magic to weave the dream that people yearn for, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. The victim slowly drinks the victim's blood while intoxicated in the dream."
"Generally speaking, their venom has no cure. Once poisoned, there will be a reaction similar to drug overdose, and it will be accompanied by high fever. Dean and Sam were poisoned, but fortunately, I read in an ancient book, We have found some ways to deal with this toxin. They are not deeply poisoned yet. They can relieve the symptoms with some antidotes, and they should be able to recover after a few days of rest. But Matthew... He is deeply poisoned. Not only that, he was also hit by a lamp. God's spell, I was immersed in the dream created by the djinn and couldn't extricate myself. I tried to detoxify him, but it had little effect. I barely saved his life, but it couldn't last long, and the high fever would kill him. .”
While Bobby was injecting some unclear medicine into Matthew with extremely fast movements, he was giving Kaico information about the monster.
There are so many wonders in the world.
When Kai saw this situation, he didn't say anything, but immediately walked over to check on Matthew.
His condition was very bad. It was a miracle that a person could have a fever of forty-three degrees and not die. It was probably because of Bobby's medicines. But this is not the way to go. After all, putting the person in the freezer... In short, he must be treated as soon as possible.
Kai tried several spells and found that none of them worked. Even 'toxin removal' was ineffective. The feedback from the spell told Kai that Matthew was not poisoned at all. The venom of the djinn was strictly speaking a drug, but compared with drugs, this thing was green. It is more environmentally friendly. Although its side effects are terrible, as long as there is an antidote, it is just like that. In the case of an antidote, the harm of this thing to the human body is very limited. It only stimulates the brain to release 'dopamine' and 'dioxin'. Methyltryptamine' (a hallucinogen that the brain produces naturally)
Of course, the stimulation is much stronger than those drugs on the market. Like Dean and Sam, the reason why they ended up like this is, to put it bluntly, they were too high. If there was no antidote, they might just die from the high. But after detoxification, they can recover after a few days of rest.
If those drug dealers find out about this, this djinn will definitely be in bad luck. Such a naughty drug will definitely be a bestseller.
But that's not the key. The key lies in Matthew's spell. That spell weaves a dream for Matthew that he longs for most in his heart. This spell is the culprit that causes Matthew to be like this. Although the venom effect is outstanding, but in some cases In the case of the antidote, it's a minor nuisance at best. The really tricky thing is the illusion in Matthew himself, and his unwillingness to wake up at all!
Kai can feel that Matthew's mental power is extremely active now, so active that it's like running a 3A masterpiece on a classic machine, and the graphics card and processor can't handle it!
Kai could probably guess what his dream was. Matthew had neither relatives nor friends in his life. There were only two people who were most important to him, one was his father and the other was his daughter, but both of them were divorced. He left. It’s self-evident what he would dream about.
In this case, the poisoning can be put away for a while, and the dose of the antidote can be increased. The key is the illusion that he has been exposed to. If he continues, the illusion will kill him sooner or later.
Kai has never seen this kind of magic, which can actually make people die slowly in a sweet dream.
Because I have never seen it before, I have no idea how to solve it... Now I can only rely on Matthew himself.
All Kai can do is use his powerful mental power to interfere with Matthew's dream and make him realize that it is a dream.
As for using mental power to forcibly break the illusion, it is not impossible, but Matthew must be prepared in advance for serious consequences such as brain death, insanity, and becoming an idiot. The brain is an extremely mysterious field, and any slight stimulation will cause serious consequences. as a result of. Kai doesn’t have the ability anyway.
…
Matthew felt very happy because today was his daughter's birthday and the day when she held a theatrical performance at school. He got off work early, bought a gift, and drove to school with his father, preparing to surprise her.
He had already agreed with his teachers and classmates at school that he would give her a surprise.
These days, he goes to school every night to decorate the venue and avoid being discovered by his daughter. Just for today.
His father recently received a notification from the hospital that his previous diagnosis of cancer was wrong. When the hospital conducted a review, it was discovered that his father did not have cancer, but just ordinary inflammation! The hospital is very sorry for this and is willing to compensate.
Matthew doesn't care about compensation or anything. As long as his father is healthy, he is the greatest luck.
Coupled with the fact that it was his daughter's birthday, he thought he should celebrate it.
But while driving, the car radio suddenly malfunctioned and kept making some inexplicable noises, saying that the world was fake and asking him to wake up quickly. Matthew felt irritated for no reason. He felt that some people nowadays are really annoying and always like to say some shocking things. What does it mean that this world is fake?
Ridiculous.
After getting off the bus, he supported his father and walked into the school. But when he passed a black uncle in the school who was cleaning, the uncle suddenly told him in a strange tone to wake up as soon as possible. Otherwise it will be too late.
Matthew was angry and scared. He wanted to argue with the black uncle, but the black uncle greeted him normally, not at all weird.
Matthew didn't know what he was angry about or what he was afraid of.
He felt that today was really weird, but it would be even weirder to come. He met a lot of people at school, but from time to time someone would tell him that what he saw and felt was false, and asked him to wake up quickly. Come.
Matthew didn't understand what was going on, but he instinctively felt resistance. He didn't even want to delve into what was going on, because his intuition told him not to delve into the reasons behind it. He couldn't bear it!
He and his father walked to the school gymnasium, where today's performance was being held.
Seeing his daughter's immature performance on the stage, Matthew's face, which had never shown any expression in a thousand years, actually showed a rare smile.
Click!
At the end of the curtain, the lights suddenly went out.
Matthew knew he had to take action. This was something he had discussed with the school to celebrate his daughter's birthday, but just when he was about to sneak out of his seat, a man sat behind him, and everything seemed to be forbidden in the darkness. Only the man was clapping.
Matthew seemed to understand something, and he stiffly turned his head to look at the man.
He doesn't know him.
wrong!
He knows it!
He is... who is he?
"Matthew...it's time to wake up from the dream."
Dream?
What dream?
I also want to celebrate my daughter’s birthday!
What dream?
"Dora Lane!" The man said just one name and disappeared.
Dora Lane... yes, that woman who was killed... I swore justice to her, and that's what I owe her... Those people need to pay the price.
After the man disappeared, everything returned to its original state. He was holding a cake and standing on the stage accompanied by his father. His daughter's little face was red with excitement. Everyone present was singing happy birthday to celebrate his baby's birthday.
Matthew cried... bawled.
He remembered everything, and he understood that this was all a dream, and nothing could be undone.
The crowd that was originally celebrating stopped, and the daughter's originally excited face turned sad. Others also fell silent, leaving only Matthew's heartbreaking cry.
A man crying is not worthy of praise, but Matthew's cry made people so sad that no one laughed at him.
A hand was placed on Matthew's shoulder.
Matthew looked up. It was his father.
"Take care of yourself, Matthew."
Matthew opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But everything began to disappear, and white light filled everything. Matthew panicked and wanted to catch his father and daughter, but his father just smiled kindly, shook his head, held his daughter, and turned around into the light.
When Matthew opened his eyes again, he was lying in the ice, but he couldn't feel the cold.
He covered his face, but his tears and crying could not be stopped.
