Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 185 185. The Caged Bird Completed

The light illuminates a pot of beef stew on the dining table that exudes an attractive luster. Yellow potatoes, red tomatoes, carrots, and green celery are dotted in it, exuding a strong aroma, which makes people move their index fingers.

But this time, Jane, who always swallowed food like a competition, showed extra patience. Under the guidance of her aunt Betsy, she crushed the beef spoon by spoon, then cooled the soup, and sent it clumsily. Mom's mouth.

Teri's black eyes were empty and lifeless, and the corners of the eyes were faintly red. She seemed to know that her daughter was by her side, but she couldn't express it.

I can only swallow and chew instinctively, but my muscle control is poor, causing food residues to leak out from time to time, sliding down my chin and staining my clothes.

Jane wiped her carefully with a napkin.

Hope at the dining table looked at this scene with satisfaction and envy, his eyes flushed with envy, and he turned his head and glanced at Becky who was wiping tears,

"Isn't it tiring to take care of Teri like this in the past?"

"I'm used to it. She is a good listener. No matter how I complain, she will accept it patiently." Becky smiled and stared at her niece and sister who loved each other, and she couldn't get enough of them. "By the way, you guys from Hawkins The laboratory snatched Jane back, isn't the current situation very dangerous."

Dean said seriously,
"The people in the laboratory didn't know that we were the ones who did it, and they were still searching everywhere blindly...so you must not disclose the matter between Jane and us to anyone, and you must not mention it on the phone, otherwise they will come to you. You and us Teri will be silenced!"

Becky turned pale and nodded heavily, then looked at her niece again,

"Okay, Jane, don't patronize Teri, eat something yourself."

"It's okay, wait for Teri to finish eating first."

……

The atmosphere was harmonious, and after lunch, they chatted about the clues that Jane found from the black field in her mind.
"Number 8 is really courageous. After escaping from Hawkins, he still dares to stay in an abandoned factory in West Faraya, Indiana?" Dean looked at the girl.

"Well... a few huge 'iron boxes', the doors are painted with Factory No. 1, Factory No. 2..." Jane gestured with her hands, "A large group of young people, with big speakers on the flat ground between the factories, followed There was music and dancing, and Carly was in there, and she looked a lot older, with a weird hairstyle and a few friends with afros and cockscombs."

"In other words, that place has now become an entertainment place for young people and punks to dance disco for free." Dean looked at the progress of jumping to 18.00% of "Bloodline", and went through the clues of parents collected so far——

One about Lena: Southwest, strip clubs with Native American or old Mexican dancers and supernatural powers.

One on number 8: an abandoned factory and dance hall in West Faraya, Indiana.

Because Western Farrier is closer to Hawkins, Dean plans to go to this factory first.

……

"When are we going to find Sister Carly?" Jane glanced at the crowd with bright eyes,

"Jane, you finally reunited with your mother, are you willing to leave her so soon?" Hope asked,

"No, but Mom wants me to find Carly..."

"You stay with Teri during this time," Dean patted the little girl's head, and made a decision irrefutable, "I'll take care of Carly's matter. It took less than a day for Hawkins to drive to West Falaye, I will rush over there as soon as possible and try my best to bring her back for you to meet."

"Don't leave me, I'm going." Jane grabbed Dean's hand nervously and fearfully,
"He just left for a few days, and he will come back later, and we are here to accompany you." Hope and Betsy put their arms around her shoulders,

Jian Wenyan glanced at the demented mother, the concerned aunt and the sheriff, then turned to Dean with an encouraging face, and sighed in confusion.

"Okay, but you come back quickly."

"Don't miss out on your daily training."

Then everyone made arrangements. Jane stayed at Betsy's house during the day to accompany the old mother, and Hope took her back to the ancestral house to sleep at night.

And Dean went to Indiana West Falaye alone to investigate Carly's news.

……

Hope puts Dean in the car.

Dean looked at the vicissitudes of the sheriff's face through the car window, and clearly saw the lingering sadness in the other's eyes.

"Shouldn't Jane be happy to be reunited with her mother? Why are you crying? It's as if your heart is hurt."

"What nonsense, I'm so happy for her, I'm so happy." Hope touched the corner of his eyes and grinned, his shallow beard trembling, but this smile was uglier than crying.

"Man, we're all on the same boat, so can't we say something heartfelt?" Dean casually threw Hope a chocolate bar,
"What do you want to know?" Hope's face was serious, his tone dissatisfied,

Dean hesitated for a while, and asked bluntly, "To be honest, did your biological daughter 'leave' because of an accident? That's why you divorced your wife in New York and returned to your hometown Hawkins to be a sheriff. Numb yourself with alcohol."

This sentence is as sharp as a knife, piercing a big hole in people's hearts.

Hope's pupils contracted for a moment, and then he bent down and lay down by the car window, pulling his fingers vigorously on the car glass,

"I warned you, don't use cleverness to pry into other people's privacy!"

"Spying for what? It's clearly written on your face—a father avoiding the past." Dean looked at his distorted profile, "Do you know, according to my experience, if a person is always addicted to the past, then Sooner or later he will be taken away by the past."

"What do you know?"

"I asked you because I didn't understand."

"Ask me, ask me?" Hope covered his mouth, "But what can I do? I can't save Sarah, I can't save my little angel... There is no cure for her cancer."

"I can only watch her lying on the hospital bed, her body is full of tubes, unable to eat or drink, day after day, her face and arms are getting thinner and thinner."

"I tried to keep her, I tried my best, but it didn't work! She left..."

"My heart has been broken ever since, and there is always a missing piece that only alcohol can fill."

Hope slapped his chest loudly, staring at his companion with bloodshot eyes,

"Do you know what it feels like? Teri is reunited with her daughter, when will I be with my Sarah again?"

Dean stared at the mad man in front of him, and suddenly said,
"Where is the hospital where Sarah died?"

"What kind of questions are you asking?"

"answer me!"

"No, it was demolished long ago and turned into ruins."

That cannot be channeled normally.

Dean thought to himself, and then glanced at the [-]% charged "Limbo Prison Shuttle", "Dude, maybe I have a way to reunite you and Sarah."

"What do you mean, tell me clearly!"

"When I come back, you will understand."

……

After Dean drove away from Becky's house, he drove directly into the no-man's land deep in the woods.

The spirit sinks into the system.

Event caged bird:
You hide 11 (Jane) in your home for 1 month, keeping her from being detected by the Hawkins Lab and the military.

You gave her love like a loved one, and made her feel the warmth and happiness of a family that she had never experienced before.

You guided her through the basics of superpowers, selflessly taught her valuable meditation techniques, and made her realize that superpowers are both poison and candy.

You took her to meet her haunted mother.

You promised to find Sister Carly for her.

The completion of the event is 160%, and you can withdraw the reward at any time.

……

"Not two hundred percent."

Dean sighed, thinking that in order to achieve 79% completion, he would probably have to bring Carly back, and then help Jane restore her memories from [-] years ago.

But this is almost impossible within the deadline of the mission, and he does not intend to drag the incident any longer.

……

Withdraw rewards!

经验值+180，个人等级lv5(30→210/700）

For excess completion, you can choose two of the following special rewards:

A. Specialize in Elementary Psychic Power.

Note: 20 points of spirit are required.

B. Strengthen "Shadow of the Past": The system will strengthen its telekinesis again.

C. Superpower—Shadow Demon lv0: Existences from different dimensions parasitize in your shadow.You can order it to trap the target and make a will determination on the target. If the target's will is lower than your spirit, the target will be forced to bind, and the shadow demon will continuously absorb physical and mental energy until it dies.

Note: Shadow Fiend will also slowly absorb the energy of the host,
Note: When the Shadow Fiend acts, the host cannot act,

Note: Shadow Fiend has a certain chance to counterattack the host.

When this ability is improved, the spiritual attribute is slightly improved.

D. Super power - flame control lv0: When the will is strong enough, it can not only contain its own spiritual power, but also contain some elements and energy from the outside world... and shape it.

You have developed a strong affinity for flames, made friends with flames, can create flames at will, and order them to attack enemies.

And autoimmune part of the fire attack.

When this ability is improved, the Will attribute is slightly increased.

E. Strengthen system capabilities - God's perspective: In addition to observation and recording, God's perspective will have a third function -

Search (black area of ​​mind): When you close your eyes, your perception will cross the barriers of time and space, tracking and searching the target locked by your mind in the past and present.

You can quietly listen to the target's conversations and understand the target's movements.

The closer the target is to you, the clearer your understanding of the target's information, thinking, and physical characteristics, and the greater your probability of tracking the target.

Note: Use this function to perceive ≥15.

F．1 free attribute point.

……

"Almost all the superpowers I encountered during the incident, including the superpowers of the Sulian people I killed, were revealed, except for the man with special strength."

The sunlight through the car window illuminated Dean's slightly excited cheeks, and he immediately ruled out option F, which was the least cost-effective, and locked on the black area in his mind of option E.

To complete the long-term event "Bloodline", he must master the ability to find people.

And with the addition of the black area of ​​the mind, the God's perspective integrates observation, backtracking, and search, and is truly omnipotent.

This item is required!
Then exclude option A.

Di'an's spirit 18.6 is less than 20 points, and he can't use the mind power feat.

And Ying's telekinesis is enough.

He hesitated for a long time between B, C, and D.

C Shadow Demon's skill seemed so powerful that Dean was helpless.But the defect is also unbearable. When the ability is activated, the inability to move becomes a living target, and it may suffer backlash.

Dean couldn't stand such a ticking time bomb.

What's more, it overlaps with "Shadow of the Past" to a certain extent, and its flexibility and adaptability are not even as good as "Shadow".

exclude!

Option D is a powerful attack method, and it comes with a defense that reduces fire damage. It has both offense and defense, and upgrading can also improve willpower.

Quite in line with Dean's expectations.

It's a pity that 6/6 of his superpower slots are full. Only when Red Dragon Meditation tries to upgrade again and obtain the "gift of power" can the upper limit of the ability slot be increased.

"Actually, I have no choice at all."

"I choose B, E."

A reminder flashed in front of my eyes——

Shadow of the Past has been "enhanced" completed.

Added a black area of ​​the mind to God's perspective.

……

Dean vaguely felt a strange force in his body.

Like an extension of a limb, a thought can set it into motion.

"Let's do an experiment..." Dean took out the photo in his arms, observed his father Lu Guangming's face with Chinese characters, and memories of him circulated in his mind.

Then he crossed his legs on the sofa in the car and glanced at his watch, it was 01:30 in the afternoon.

He put on the blindfold and relaxed.

In the next second, he entered a dark space.

In the faint light, the thick darkness circulates around the space like oil paint, faintly refracting some abnormal outlines and oil-like luster.

But here is not like the vacuum of the universe, giving people a feeling of deep and vast.

This gloomy darkness is like some kind of living behemoth wriggling all the time, hiding a bunch of curious eyes, it is still whispering, observing and examining Dean, the sudden intruder.

But Dean tried hard to catch these voices, but he couldn't hear anything, as if it was just an illusion.

Dean looked at his hands. In this dark space, every part of his body was emitting abnormal white light.

This light dissipated outwards, turning into a wisp of white smoke that was extremely eye-catching in the darkness, and the white smoke meandered towards the invisible darkness ahead.

Follow up, the target is there!

Dean rushed forward following Bai Yan.

Tata...

Clear footsteps echoed.

He kept running, and the darkness was as boundless as the tide, washing away the white smoke that guided him lighter and lighter, and at a certain moment completely disappeared.

Dean lost his way.

……

Daylight re-illuminated the sight.

Dean took off his blindfold and checked his watch.

1:32.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Dean's mouth,

"Jane's ability in the dark domain of her mind is higher than mine and she can't find the light. It's even more impossible for me as a newcomer. I should choose a simpler goal."

Dean recalled the wonderful feeling just now,
"It seems that after half an hour of running in the dark, only 2 minutes have passed in the real world."

But in the past 2 minutes, he has already felt a little tired mentally, and it is estimated that he will have to quit in a quarter of an hour to rest.

……

Then Dean took out a photo of his uncle grinning, looked at it, recalled his personal information, put on the blindfold again, and retreated into the darkness.

soon.

A strange pink room appeared in the black field of mind.

Dean went straight through the brown wooden door.

At the end of a luxurious double bed covered with blue blankets, a big yellow-skinned man in shorts and vest stood out with his hands on the solid wood floor, doing push-ups wheezingly.

Teacher Kelly Chen sat on his back to bear the weight of the body leisurely and contentedly.

From time to time, with a charming smile, he patted the muscles on his body that tightened and stretched like rocks, like stroking a suit of armor.

The floor creaked with each push-up of Paque.

Every inch of his skin, every drop of sweat on his face was glowing, allowing Dean to see clearly in this dark space.

Regular breathing and heartbeat also echoed in Dean's ears.

At this time, Paque and Kelly Chen seemed to be a realistic holographic image.

"Paqui played really well." Dean clapped his hands together, and the crisp applause echoed in the space.

But Paque and Kelly Chen knew nothing.

"Can you hear me, uncle, aunt?"

Dean yelled,

The big man is doing push-ups mechanically.

"The target in the black area of ​​the mind can't feel my presence."

"So--"

Dean tried to reach out to touch the two, but interrupted the "mirage". Uncle, Kelly Chen, and the whole room instantly turned into a faint smoke and shattered, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Currently, I can't touch the target in the black area of ​​my mind, and I can't communicate with it at any level."

"Wonderful, it seems to be in another space dimension, monitoring the target in the real world, once you want to cross the dimension, you will break the balance and exit the monitoring state. There must be other secrets hidden in the black area of ​​your mind."

Dean took off the blindfold and returned to reality, with a deep tiredness on his face.

"Nowadays, there is short-range observation within 50 meters to obtain vision, and there is a black field of mind to monitor targets hundreds of miles away. My ability to obtain information has been greatly improved."

"In the future, before the routine meditation every night, come to the black domain exploration training first."

……

Next it was the turn of the mind experiment.

The strength of mind power is related to the conversion efficiency of mind and mind. Dean's mind remains unchanged at 18.6, so option B improves the efficiency of mind conversion into mind power.

Dean in the driver's seat had a thought, and felt a shock in an instant, and the vegetation outside the window began to run down quickly.

No, the whole Bronco flew.

The "Shadow" suspended behind Dean easily lifted the 1.5-ton car with invisible thoughts, and flew up to a height of ten meters in the air without moving.

Dean poked his head out of the car window, looking at the shrinking scene below, with a hint of joy in the corner of his eyes, he clearly felt that "Shadow" still had more strength.

"Strengthening the mind power of the former shadow can only lift two or three hundred kilograms of motorcycles, but now it should be able to lift three tons of heavy objects, which is not inferior to the regular form of Jane."

Moreover, "Shadow" can maintain the maximum power output all the time, unlike Jane, which can only burst out for a short time!
This degree of strengthening far exceeded Dean's expectations!

thump.

The car landed firmly.

Dean got off the car, looked around at the surrounding green trees, selected a few big trees 20 meters away that were hugged by one person, and pushed them forward.

wow——

The air waves surged, and broken leaves flew all over the ground.

With a crackling sound, the invisible thought power forcibly smashed the three big trees in half and fell to the ground. The frightened birds chirped and flapped their wings to escape from the forest.

Dean looked at his palm, with a strange brilliance in his eyes, "If you hit the enemy head-on with this level of strength, you won't be able to escape a shattered fracture all over your body, and you can also crush people into meatloaf."

"If you use a flying knife or a sharp weapon, you can easily kill someone 100 meters away, and it is more flexible and concealed than a sniper rifle."

……

breathe…

Dean suppressed his restless mood, let "Shadow" wrap his body, stood up straight with relaxation, and spread his hands apart like wings. In the next second, the whole person jumped into the air like lightning.

Swish-

The galloping airflow pierced his skin like a needle, but was firmly blocked by the ghost armor. Dean crazily ascended 1 km behind a layer of clouds, the temperature was freezing, and the oxygen began to thin out rapidly.

His body was horizontal, and he rushed forward like an arrow.

His body turned into a series of twinkling tiny black dots high in the air.

His flying speed has skyrocketed from seven meters per second to 21 meters per second, exceeding the speed of running at full speed on the ground.

Psychic flight became his fastest way of movement!

"This is real flying!"

Half a minute later, to avoid being photographed by satellites, Dean landed from the sky, wiped his nose,
"After this incident, I almost copied Jane's superpowers to myself."

"Super little lucky star, the painstaking efforts spent on you are not in vain."

Satisfied, Dean returned to the car, took out a polo candy to suppress his shock, and drove straight to the road that left Hawkins Town and headed for West Falaye.

There is currently only one long-term event "Bloodline" left in the event slot.

It's time to go all out!
But the plan could never keep up with the changes. Not long after Dean drove on the road, the BP machine on his waist rang.

He found a phone booth on the side of the road and called back.

"Catherine? What's the matter?"

"Okay, I'll be right there."
