While the British side began to fight against the invaders, Kay's side was still exorcising demons.
Night fell as expected, but everyone felt unusually tired, except Kai. At first, no one paid much attention to it, thinking it was a normal phenomenon of staying up late.
"Ugh..." Dean covered his neck.
"What's wrong?" Sam was concerned about his brother.
"It's okay...it seems to be a sprain." Dean twisted his neck and glanced at the sofa. This sofa is actually not small. Logically speaking, this condition is much better than where he usually sleeps. The daily life of a witcher usually involves running from one crime location to another, so he spends most of his time eating and sleeping in the car.
Living in a motel can be regarded as an improvement in life, but there is no other way. The land is vast and the people are sparse.
Sam rubbed his face hard and felt tired, as if he had been traveling for days and nights, and his whole body was exhausted.
"Why are you two so weak?" Kai walked over to them just after washing up. "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. You have gone through the Demon Hunter trial."
The last time they came to New York, Kai asked Catherine to get the knowledge of the Witcher Trial and helped them complete the Witcher Trial.
Demon hunters in the United States and real demon hunters are actually two different things. Although they do the same job, most demon hunters are ordinary people. Only a few demon hunters have acquired some exorcism knowledge and can use it. Some spells.
The true witcher heritage was lost many years ago.
Kai remembered that when he was in Sarajevo, he met real demon hunters and fought with them against vampires. But that was already the last witcher.
There is no way, the inheritance of the demon hunter is too harsh. The witcher will die if he fails the trial. The success rate is not high, and even if the trial succeeds, it will cause infertility. Therefore, with the improvement of material life, no one is willing to give their children to demon hunters. After all, this business is really hard.
Even if he doesn't die well, he still has to cut off his descendants.
So naturally the inheritance of demon hunters was cut off. Although some secret groups still possess this knowledge, in modern society, not many people would bet on such odds.
The Holy Church also has this knowledge, so Kai can borrow it, of course there is no problem.
Kai asked the Wen brothers if they were willing to complete the trial.
It's not like death, Kai is by his side. But infertility... this requires my consent.
But I didn't expect that the Wen brothers were very open-minded about this. They didn't think their bloodline was anything special at all, and the way they were, it was probably difficult for them to get married and have children, so they didn't have any burden.
The Witcher's trial actually involves using ancient spells and potions to induce certain specified mutations in the human body.
For example, physical fitness is stronger, recovery ability is better, etc.
There are benefits, but not too much. The main thing is to lay the foundation, and then continue to train as a witcher to become stronger and stronger. But this part of knowledge is seriously lacking in the Holy Church. Not only is the Holy Church missing, many secret forces have very little knowledge in this area.
So the Wen brothers are considered half-baked demon hunters. But it's enough. Although the witchers in the United States are all part-time monks, they can't stand the fact that these people come from all kinds of strange places, so the witchers in the United States also have their own characteristics.
It is enough for the Wen brothers to deal with most situations.
Logically speaking, with their physical condition, there is no reason to look like this after sleeping.
"Perhaps we have been traveling for several days in a row and are tired." Sam thought for a while and gave a reasonable explanation. Although they have mutated through trials, they have not become non-human and have their own limits. They will be a little tired. Strange.
"That's it..." Kai thought for a while but couldn't think of a reason. I didn’t say anything more, I just kept it in my heart silently.
The three of them quickly placed the freshly delivered Chinese takeout on the table.
"Wow! What is this?" Dean asked in surprise as he looked at the dazzling array of dishes.
"Chinese food!" Kai said with a smile.
In the past, Kai was not very particular about food and drink. In his previous life, his biggest expense every month was cigarettes. There was nothing he could do about it. Handling cases was indeed a very energy-consuming job. Without cigarettes, it was really difficult for him. All veteran criminal investigators , everyone is not a smoker, Kai’s master is also an old criminal detective, a good guy, he smokes three packs a day, and he never leaves his hand except when eating and sleeping.
But in this life, hey... I have been corrupted by capitalism!
I only smoked cigars when smoking and coughed when I smoked other things. I also started to eat upscale, and I was no longer willing to wrong myself. I even started to pay attention to my clothes.
If my former self saw myself now, I would not believe it.
It’s not that Dean has never eaten Chinese food before, but obviously the food in front of him is completely different from the Chinese food he has eaten before!
Of course it's different!
Contrary to what many people think, Chinese food here in the United States is not cheap at all. On the contrary, it is very high-end. What really makes Chinese food feel cheap is Chinese fast food... In fact, it cannot be called Chinese food at all. At most, it is just a name. .
The takeout that Kai ordered was different. The Chinese food in real Chinese restaurants was all Chinese, not the kind pretended to be Vietnamese. And other people don’t actually take out food, it’s because of Kai’s reputation that others do it.
"Call them over. After dinner, let's continue!"
I'll be thinking about that mirror again tonight.
Soon Kelly, Hallie and Tim were called over.
But as soon as they appeared, Kai and the others saw that something was wrong.
Their state is not like staying up late, but rather like staying up late, drinking alcohol, and taking drugs. In just one day, even dark circles appear under the eyes.
"Something's wrong!"
Sam immediately rushed forward and checked the three of them... There were no symptoms of being haunted by ghosts, nor did they smell of a curse.
But these three people in front of me don’t look like they’re fine!
"Your situation is very bad...it can't go on like this." Kai said firmly. Tim, in particular, looked a little dazed.
"No!" Kelly was still stubborn. She didn't even think it was a bad thing, because she felt that the mirror was going to be attacked tonight!
Harley looked at Tim worriedly.
She wasn't sure how Kelly was doing, but Tim's condition was definitely not okay!
She whispered into Kelly's ear and said, "Tim's current condition is very unstable."
Kelly hesitated out of concern for her brother.
"How about this, Dean and I will stay with you here, and Sam and Harley will take your brother to the hospital first!" Kai also noticed that Tim was in a bad state, and Tim didn't seem to notice it during their discussion.
Kelly hesitated and nodded. After all, Tim had just been released from a mental hospital, so if he relapsed... it would be a lot of fun.
Then, without even eating, they took Tim to his room to pack his clothes and take him to the hospital.
But after waiting for a while, screams suddenly came from the room.
Kai and the two brothers rushed over immediately and found that Harley and Kelly were in the room, but Tim was missing!
"what happened?!!"
"Tim's gone!" Kelly immediately grabbed Kai's hand and shouted.
I know!
"Why are you missing?" Kai asked directly.
"We were packing his clothes, and he went to the bathroom. We didn't pay attention, but after waiting for a while, we went to the bathroom to look for him and didn't see him. Then I saw Tim go back to the room, and Kelly and I Went to the room, but there was no one in the room!" Harley immediately told the situation.
"Huh?" Kai glanced at the two brothers.
Both of them also looked confused.
The three of them are in the living room. There is no bathroom in the room on the first floor. If you want to go to the bathroom, you need to walk through the living room. But the three of them, let alone Tim, have not even seen the two of them! What the hell!
"Did you really go to the bathroom?" Kai asked seriously.
Harley and Kelly looked at each other, then nodded quickly.
"Then what did you see the three of us doing?" Kai asked again.
Gu Lai
"Uh... we didn't see..." The two girls looked at each other and then said, "We were too anxious at the time."
The Kai and Wen brothers took a breath: "That's it, the mirror has really taken action."
They were in the living room the whole time and didn't go anywhere!
The Wen brothers immediately put their hands on their weapons.
But Kai stopped them.
"Don't use weapons." Kai shook his head, and then asked Harley: "Tell me something we both know."
Harley was stunned for a moment, not understanding the situation.
Kelly reacted: "You mean...are you afraid that we are fake?!!"
Kai said nothing.
Harley reacted immediately: "We experienced A Nightmare on Elm Street together!"
A Nightmare on Elm Street was a casual remark Kai made when he left Elm Street. After all, that place... really deserves its name.
Harley also looked at Kelly smartly and immediately: "Tell me something that only you and I know!"
Kelly thought for a moment and said, "My underwear is green lace!"
The three men immediately looked at Harley!
Unexpectedly, this woman actually...
Such a waste!
Kai thought thoughtfully, no wonder Harley hangs out with Sharlize Theron all day long, it turns out her roots are here.
Harley hurriedly defended: "It's not what you think..."
But he saw the distrustful eyes of the three men: "Okay, I admit, I like women. But... I also like men!"
Kelly was stunned and silently distanced herself a little. It's not discrimination...it's just that she is not that philanthropic.
"Do you think we are an illusion?" Kelly quickly changed the subject. Her brother was missing! Are you going to worry about Harley's sexual orientation at this time?
"Be prepared." Kai wasn't sure what the mechanism of this mirror was, so he was prepared. "Now, remember, don't attack anyone casually. According to Sam and Dean's lesson last time, mirrors can confuse people. Last time they almost killed each other. So don't attack casually, even if the person standing in front of you is another person. Don’t be afraid of scary things! Don’t be impulsive! Especially you, Dean!”
Kai warned sternly.
Dean put his hands down from his waist.
"The most important thing now is to find Tim!" Kai continued: "Let's act together! It's best to capture the people around you!"
"Ah? Don't we look for it separately?" Sam said in surprise. After all, that's more efficient.
"Huh? Don't you watch horror movies?" Kai was even more surprised: "The first law of horror movies is that once they split up, they will be unlucky!"
Horror movies all have this routine, and Kai sometimes wonders why screenwriters like Mao like to play this trick so much. If I don’t do this, I won’t be able to play anymore?
But under the current circumstances, it's better to stay together. In case something happens to someone, he won't be able to rescue him in time.
A group of people were looking for Tim everywhere in the house.
But I couldn't find anyone.
"Did he go out?" Sam guessed.
"Then go out and take a look." Kai said immediately. In fact, Kai was a little numb at this time. Because he discovered... this mirror seemed to allow him to see fantasies! Just now, Kai almost killed the people around him three times.
There was nothing you could do about it. When you turned your head, you found a corpse with a rotten face standing behind you. Your first reaction was the same.
How evil!
After all, Kai has godhead!
The result is still affected by illusion.
But when everyone pushed open the door, they saw themselves standing outside the door, looking into the house! When he turned around, he was still standing in the house.
"Damn it! The ghost hit the wall." Kai cursed in his native language.
Kai had heard a lot about ghosts breaking into walls when he was a kid.
"Did you see it?"
Everyone nodded.
"Fake...what the hell is going on?" Dean cursed directly.
"I don't know, this mirror... is too evil." Kai shook his head.
The last time he encountered this kind of situation was the time with the mysterious female corpse, but Kai didn't panic at all last time. After all, the fantasy created by the female corpse had little impact on Kai.
This shows that this mirror is actually more powerful than the mysterious female corpse! ,
"Kay...the case of the female corpse last time..." Dean and Kai thought together. He remembered that the last fantasy had had the least impact on Kai. "You should be able to see through the illusion, right?"
"No, unfortunately, I've been tricked too." Kai clenched his fists: "For example, I don't even dare to look at your faces now."
"ha?"
"I'm afraid of killing the wrong person on impulse." Kai said calmly.
"Try using that sword this time too!" Sam also thought of that time and immediately suggested.
Kai nodded: "I'll try."
Everyone immediately walked to the living room and came to the mirror.
But when Kai just drew his sword, he realized that they were actually standing in front of the window!
Everyone immediately understood that it was the mirror again!
They couldn't find the mirror at all!
"What should we do now?" Harley was also a little panicked.
If he really faced off against ghosts face to face, Harry wouldn't be afraid at all. After all, there were so many people here, as well as professionals. But now... professionals are also being tricked!
"Do any of you still remember how long it was since the last time the mechanism was reset?" Kai suddenly asked.
This question stunned everyone. I was in a panic just now and didn't think about this issue. Now that I think about it, yes, they haven’t reset the mechanism for a long time!
Before they took a break, everyone set their own alarm clocks in order, so that they could reset the mechanism on time.
The last time the mechanism was reset was by Sam. After he woke up, he reset the mechanism! But when they all stayed together, no one reset the mechanism!
The time has long passed.
"It's already past time!" Sam looked at his watch.
"Then the question is, why didn't the agency respond?" Kai asked.
"Tim!!!" Kelly said immediately.
The only one who's not here is Tim!
