Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 370 360. Final address
In the bright study room.

Beside the curtain, the three prisoners were lifted up in the air by the invisible black water created by the abyss of fantasy, and their faces were mired in an endless nightmare. Wisps of negative black aura continuously entered Dean's body not far away.

But Dean and his companions stared intently ahead at the narrow space near the desk. Their fists and feet were piercing their flesh, the sounds of grunts and fractures echoed non-stop, and large amounts of crystal sweat spilled into the air. The two men were fighting to the death...

Decker's physical fitness and mental strength are both limited by Dean, but as a member of the Special Operations Department, a pervert who loves to torture victims, has experienced systematic combat training, and is not the kind of car repairman who only uses brute force. The stalemate lasted for less than half a minute before he pinned Boon to the ground. His left hand strangled Boon's neck like a cable, causing his face to turn red as blood and his breathing became labored. His right hand twisted one of his wrists. To the point of almost breaking at 90 degrees.

In the bone-piercing pain, Boone pushed the carpet with his knees, left hand, chest, abdomen and chin, trying to overturn the man on his back. His struggle was so crazy that he bit the corners of his mouth and spit out saliva and blood.

But he struggled.

"Little cutie... I just like to see your helpless and angry expression," Decker trembled in his ear and said words as sharp as a knife, "Guess what, after I kill you, I will go to your favorite Luo immediately." Here...gather her and her family together and send their family to reunite with you!"

"Lori! No, get away, you bastard! Get out!" Boon's bloodshot eyes almost bulged out of his sockets, his mouth made a snake-like "hissing" sound, and the blood in his head bulged like thunder. His temples.

At this moment, the anger in his chest burned away what little sanity he had left, leaving only the primitive and wild animal nature, which gave rise to all kinds of illusions——

A thick fog filled the surroundings, and there was a long buzzing sound.

five minutes.

Blood splattered everywhere, and Decker's left hand that had restrained Boone suddenly lost a palm-sized piece of flesh, revealing white bones, and he shrank as if he was electrocuted.

People with spikes all over their bodies, people with snake hair on their heads, people with fish gills on their cheeks, people with skin like pangolin scales...Monsters with both human and animal characteristics rushed out like a tide, surrounding Boone. Turning in circles, jumping, and shouting.

Dean and Sean, who were watching the battle, looked at each other at the same time, and the ancient poems about Midian echoed in their ears.

"Push open the door!"

Boone took the opportunity to turn over, with red eyes and teeth dripping with blood, he pushed the wailing Decker to the ground, leaned over like a wolf and bit open his trachea and arteries!
Blood sprayed all over Boone's head and face like a fountain, and then splashed on the ceiling.

A pair of eyes, like burning war drums.

The ancient cemetery separated its rusty iron gates in the night.

Playing drums that are fanatical, passionate, and surging like a river of blood.

"I kill you!"

Decker, who recovered from the severe pain, also struggled with him, stabbing the temples of his neck with his nails and biting the arteries with his teeth...

"Trial of blood!"

……

The two men seemed to have turned into two crazy beasts that had lost their minds. During the scalp-numbing attack, flesh and blood spattered on the walls and desks, dyeing them dark red "roses".

"Unleash your fury!"

The screams came out of the study window and spread far into the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, they saw Boone, who was being strangled on the ground by Dr. Decker and was about to expire, suddenly opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner and bit the opponent's arm fiercely.

"Fight to the death!"

tear-

"Monster Paradise!"

"Blood for blood!"

The fierce fighting and screaming stopped.

The entire carpet was soaked in blood and turned a sticky dark red color.

The two people lay side by side in a pool of blood. Their deformed faces had broken noses, missing teeth, and their necks, chest and abdomen were torn open... The trachea and internal organs were exposed in the air, and no intact skin could be seen on the whole body.

There was no winner in this extremely cruel and bloody battle. Even so, the two pairs of eyes were still staring at each other.

Dr. Decker was full of unwillingness. He was almost, almost able to defeat the opponent and survive.

Boon's eyes showed the joy after a hearty battle, and the corners of his mouth grinned wantonly.

"Let's go to hell together!"

He turned his eyes and suddenly saw all the monsters surrounding him, turning into blazing flames, warming his remaining body.

He fell into darkness in heavenly contentment and bliss.

Decker's trembling fingers also stopped, his eyes widened and he lost his breath.

brush--

A translucent, cool-looking soul of Decker flew out of the body and flew towards the crack of light in the dark dome - the resting place for his soul prepared by the department.

But as soon as it flew out of the window, a large area of ​​crystal clear ice suddenly appeared around it, and it was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Click.

The colorful shadow clenched his fist.

The ice sculpture of Decker's soul shattered into slag and was annihilated into nothingness.

Shadow has absorbed part of the soul essence, Shadow lv5 (520→525/700)
Ying turned his aurora-like eyes to the three remaining figures in the study, click click click.

The ice froze, covering the cracks like porcelain, and then broke into thousands of ice shards and splashed into the air, opening a pale curtain.

Three bodies and three souls all disappeared.

Shadow lv5(525→540/700)
Dean has ascended to such an extent that the Special Operations Division can no longer snatch his soul from him.

……

"Man, is it really worth it?" Sean looked at Boone, the only one left in the study who had lost his voice, and sighed, "In order to find the so-called Midian, we have to watch such a living life die in pain? We We can obviously help him." Monica and Peter also looked at Dean with awe.

Only Christine still has the same support as always in her clear eyes,
"Death? No, he passed the bloody battle trial and obtained the qualification to enter." Dean stared at Boone's body, and a faint light of life lit up under the perspective of life, and it grew rapidly, "Death is just an appearance. , His body and mind are undergoing transformation... Let’s wait somewhere else.”

Dean casually brought the four companions into the fantasy space, opened a node and stepped in. Suddenly he turned to the center of the study, and another weak node began to shake. Under the skill's perspective, he could vaguely see a black suit behind the node. The man is "opening the door".

"A space user from the Special Operations Department?"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Dean's eyes, thinking that the doomsday theory did not deal with this guy in the end, and roamed away with four companions.

As he walked through the void, he turned mentally to the panel.

Event "Nightmare in East End":
You follow and monitor Aaron Boone and find that he has been troubled by nightmares in Midian for a long time. Under the guidance of psychiatrist Decker, he mistakenly believes that he is the murderer of the massacre in the East District and is ready to surrender.

You prevented Boone from surrendering, snooped out Dr. Decker's identity information from his blood, and launched a black field teleportation to wipe out the gang.

You asked Decker about the truth about the East End Nightmare, and also discovered their ultimate goal - to blame Boone and find the location of Midian to avoid the end of the world that may break out in a few years. Amplitude increase.

……

One hundred and fifty percent completion.

Withdraw rewards.

Personal level lv8 (140→260/1300)
You can choose between two rewards…

Dean jumped out of the void and landed lightly in a villa in the East District of Calgary. He glanced at the list of rewards, "Flame manipulation proficiency, mind control, energy shield, mental shock...the event is not difficult, and the rewards are also average."

"I choose 2 free attribute points, as well as strengthening the dark areas of my mind and reducing energy consumption."

The combined skill "Dark Domain Teleportation" is very useful, but consumes a lot of money. This reward can just alleviate Dean's urgent need a little.

As for the free attribute points, the "Intermediate Master of Suffering" has just absorbed 2 points from the bodies of the four captives. With the event rewards, Dean's reserve has reached 4 points, but it has not been used for the time being.
"I have to think carefully, after mental and physical, what will be the next attribute to break through 30 points..."

……

bedroom.

The bright yellow sunlight shines through the window, illuminating a strange figure on the bed.

Boon's eyelids blinked twice and he opened his eyes. Then he sat up and looked around cautiously like a stress reaction. Several acquaintances who had helped him clear up his grievances and kill his enemies came into view, with a touch of joy on their expressions. and curiosity,

"Wake up, Boone."

"Wait, where's Decker, is that bastard dead?"

"It seems that you really hate that guy, and you actually asked him the first time you woke up." Monica hugged her chest and smiled, "Don't worry, he didn't even go to hell, and the traces of his existence have been completely erased. .”

Boon breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "But am I not dead too? The arteries in my neck were slit and my stomach was scratched to pieces. There's no way I can save it, right?"

Boon nervously checked the wound, and found that it was intact, as if he had never been injured. The muscle lines on his chest, abdomen, and arms had also become clearly defined, and when he exerted force, he could feel more strength and vitality than before.

But what’s horrifying is that there are dense and strange lines all over his body, including his cheeks——

In the full-length mirror next to the wardrobe, he saw the same rough and majestic face as his old self, but his eyes became vertical pupils, and a thick short horn grew out between the eyebrows like a third eye, on both sides of the cheekbones and forehead. , there are circles of swirling flesh-colored lines on the cheeks, just like permanent scars formed after a burn heals.

But it is more refined and has a symmetrical beauty.

"Fake, what happened to me? What have I become?" Boon stood up and jumped in horror. The surge of strength made him smash a big hole in the ceiling like a cannonball. His head went directly to the roof of the building and saw the dazzling sun,

"Hiss...this incredible power, my body..."

"You died before, but now you are reborn as a nocturnal species, a monster like us." Sean looked at him and said happily, grinning and showing his gleaming fangs.

Boon's eyes turned rapidly several times. Miraculously, perhaps the long-term nightmare had already subtly affected his mind. He easily accepted the fact that he became a nocturnal species, "Then I can only maintain this ugliness in the future." What does it look like?”

"You can release the monster form at any time," Dean stared at his light of life, which was almost level 3, similar to Sean and vampires. "Take a deep breath, calm down, feel carefully, and take back the power."

Boone followed his instructions, closed his eyes and relaxed his limbs. Then he felt an instinct like eating and drinking, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath following the instinct.

breathe…

The swirling lines around his body began to fade, and wisps of cool mist came out, entering his nostrils like a swarm of snakes.

When he finished inhaling the mist, the strange lines disappeared simultaneously, and he became a strong and healthy normal person again.

Boon's face turned red with excitement and he clenched his fists, "Having special powers and being able to maintain human form is simply a gift from God."

"The one who gave you strength was not God, but the master of Midian, the lord of beasts." Dean said seriously, "And this is not a free gift. Next, you have to go to Midian with us and face your fate! "

When Boone heard this haunting name, his eyes showed deep yearning, like a wanderer who had been away from home for many years and longed to return home. "You are right, I must go to Midian."

“Did you hear Midian’s call during your resurrection, asking you to go to a certain exact address?”

"North Athabasca, east of Serenity River, North Dwyer Cemetery..."

"This is a little different from what we heard..." Dean found that the "Bloodline" that had not changed for a long time had jumped from 86% to 88%, and raised his eyebrows, "What we heard was 'North Athabasca, East Peace' River, North Dwyer'."

Sean nodded, rubbed his chin, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, "Our address is not on the map at all, why not try Boone's? East of the Serenity River... Does anyone have any impressions?"

"I've heard of the Serenity River, and I've seen it on the map!" Chris' heroic face showed a hint of excitement, and he walked straight to the map hanging on the wall of the bedroom, stretched out his hand and pointed out a slender river. "Here... right here!"

"The distance to the northwest of Alberta is only 700 to 800 kilometers... which is roughly in line with my premonition." Dean looked at the map with a satisfied smile. This time, the work was finally in vain, "Very good, the ultimate goal Now that we have the land, everyone, it’s almost time to hit the road.”

Monica, Peter, Sean, and Kristen looked at each other and nodded.

Boon suddenly looked at everyone pleadingly, "Before we leave, I want to see Lori and tell her a few words."

"Okay." Dean recalled a record he saw in the secret file of the Special Operations Department. "Calgary still has some 'dirty stuff' that hasn't been dealt with. Let's deal with it."
