Infinity: Kill your way through the movie world.
Chapter 1248 Undercurrent
Jesse's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? Then I can go back to see Mom and Dad?"
"The premise is success."
Wu Heng nodded, but then changed the subject, “However, if you completely lose control during any trial, causing injury or death to innocent people, or are completely consumed by the power, for the safety of more people, I will have to temporarily seal your power until you are mature enough to control it again.”
Are you willing to accept this agreement?
Jesse nodded almost without hesitation, his small face showing unprecedented determination: "I'm willing, I'll try my best to control myself, I don't want to be like that again."
Seeing the renewed light in Jesse's eyes, Dean and Sam breathed a sigh of relief. Having a goal was better than being consumed by fear.
As the night deepens,
The manor returned to a semblance of tranquility.
Jesse was put to rest in a reinforced bedroom inside the safe house, Dean and Sam took turns keeping watch in the outer room, while Castio was responsible for monitoring energy fluctuations on the outside.
However, it was in the early hours of the morning.
The invisible energy barrier at the entrance of the safe house, composed of countless tiny runes, suddenly emitted a very faint 'crack' sound, like glass shattering.
A crack, almost imperceptible, quietly appeared.
Dean was on night watch tonight, and he was drowsily working out his arm strength with a dumbbell, unaware of the subtle noise.
A figure slipped in through the crack like a ghost.
That was Hannah's new manor 'assistant,' a shy and quiet young girl named Ella. Her parents were witchers who had both sacrificed themselves, and Hannah took her in out of pity.
Its identity cannot be that of a demon.
But now, carrying a tray of snacks and milk, with a harmless smile on her face, she walked toward Jesse's bedroom door.
Just as her hand was about to touch the doorknob, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
Jessie was thirsty and went out to get a glass of water. He bumped into Ella and was startled by the fleeting glimpse of darkness in her eyes.
“Young Master Jesse, drinking some warm milk at night will help you sleep.” 'Ella’s' voice remained gentle, but beneath the tray, the fingernails of one hand instantly turned black and long, containing demonic power, and silently clawed at Jesse’s arm.
Jesse instinctively stepped back, blurting out in desperation, "Imprisonment!"
The power of words was activated, but this time, the effect was completely different.
Just as the space around Ella began to solidify, one of her ornaments suddenly exploded into a cluster of dark purple counter-spells.
However, the spell seemed to have failed to resist, and Jesse's power had increased again. When it collided with Jesse's power of words, it not only failed to completely block the confinement, but instead, it was like a needle puncturing a balloon, triggering a violent backlash!
"Uhhhhh-!"
Ella let out a scream as her disguise peeled away like a fragile eggshell, revealing the burning demon beneath.
She was trapped in place by the combined effects of her own counter-spell and Jesse's Word of Power. Her body was bound as if by invisible chains, and sparks uncontrollably spewed from her seven orifices, scorching her.
This sudden turn of events and the demon's screams instantly alarmed the entire safe house.
Dean jolted awake, grabbed his dagger, and rushed over. Sam and Castio also burst from their respective resting places. "What's going on?!" Dean was both shocked and furious as he looked at the demon, who was imprisoned in place and wailing incessantly.
Castio quickly inspected the safe house's barrier, his face grim: "The barrier has been breached. It's an extremely sophisticated hellish concealment spell; it actually managed to infiltrate."
Jesse stared at the demon who had tried to kidnap her, her face pale with fear.
Wu Heng's figure had appeared at the door at some point. He glanced at the scene, his eyes cold.
"Clean it up," he ordered Death's butler.
The Grim Reaper's butler appeared silently, his massive scythe flashing with a ghostly light, and the imprisoned demon, along with its wails, was completely purified and vanished.
This 'Ella' is not the real person; she is a demon in disguise.
Everyone in the manor has a special amulet, so there is no possibility of being possessed. The real Ella is still resting in her room.
“It seems they are more eager than expected.” Wu Heng looked at the still-shaken Jesse. “Only when you truly control the power can you protect yourself, instead of relying on others for protection.”
The afternoon of the day after the demon attack.
Castio suddenly left the safe house alone under the pretext of inspecting the outer barrier of the manor, but instead of inspecting it, he came to a secluded grove on the edge of the manor.
As soon as he stood still, a gentle yet imposing holy light condensed before him, transforming into a blurry, tall projection with four wings on its back.
This is an incarnation of the archangel Raphael, possessing thirty percent of the original's power.
“Casdio, lost brother.” Raphael’s projected voice was calm, yet carried a soul-searching pressure. “You have lingered between humanity and heaven for far too long.”
Castio tensed up: "Lord Raphael."
“I know that ‘Antichrist’ is inside,” Raphael said bluntly. “Hand him over to me, and in return, I can promise you: First, the mortal couple who adopted him will be protected in Heaven, free from all supernatural threats, and will live out their remaining years in peace; second, your ‘defection’ warrant in Heaven will be lifted, and you can regain your status and glory as an angel; third, I swear on my honor that I will not harm the child’s life, but will only bring him into Heaven and provide him with the necessary guidance and discipline.”
These three conditions, especially the promise of his own return to Paradise, struck Castio like a hammer blow.
He knew all too well how Heaven dealt with the 'abnormal', and he himself had experienced 'repentance'!
That would be an absolutely unbearable nightmare.
'Guidance and restraint' often mean losing freedom or even having one's will wiped away. Although he himself was ashamed of the position of some angels, he did indeed miss the order and sense of belonging of the angel legion.
Castio's face showed intense struggle and hesitation. He remained silent for nearly a minute before finally speaking with difficulty: "I...I need time to think. This is too sudden!"
“Yes, but I don’t have much time for you, Castio.” Raphael’s projection spoke calmly, yet with an unquestionable tone.
Castio stood there, frowning in thought, his expression constantly shifting.
But he was very anxious inside. Dean must be about to realize something was wrong, right?
He had initially sensed something strange about the place and thought there might be spies from Heaven, but he never expected it to be Raphael's clone carrying power!
Dean, who was eating at the time, finally realized something was wrong. Castio said he was going to inspect the protective measures, but it had taken too long.
Thinking of this, he immediately walked in the direction Castio had left.
Sensing and searching along the way, he keenly detected a trace of residual, extremely pure and sacred yet oppressive energy fluctuations in the woodland on the edge of the manor.
So he immediately sent a message to Wu Heng, and then followed him. (End of Chapter)
