As soon as the shadow moved, Meatball and Sage raised their guns for defense. →Portman also quickly approached Kai. Meatball and Sage were commandos, and their mission was always the front line. Even if it was a protective mission, they would stand in front to block bullets, while Portman was a sniper, and his mission was to occupy favorable terrain for precise killing. So he approached Kai as soon as possible and used Kai as a cover.
Dean and Sam stood there carelessly watching others' professional movements. They were all wild and had no professional training at all. When they came to their senses, several people had already prepared for defense.
Sage put his hand on Meatball's shoulder, and then the two of them moved in a straight line towards the window where the shadow was moving. Portman's gun was pointed at the window motionlessly. Once there was any movement, he would shoot immediately.
Bang!
Meatball pushed open the window, and there was nothing outside, only the strong wind and raindrops constantly hitting the window. Meatball looked around cautiously, then turned around to tell everyone that it was safe, but the moment he turned his head, a rotten and deteriorated human head suddenly appeared at the window.
Bang!
A bullet brushed Meatball's ear and shot into the head, and the head fell down immediately after being shot. It was Portman who fired the gun, and that's what snipers do.
Meatball didn't care how dangerous the previous shot was, and immediately turned his head and fired. After three shots, he saw that it was quiet outside the window, and then he moved to the window again under the cover of Sage. He stretched his head to look at the ground outside the window, but he didn't see a corpse, and there was nothing on the ground.
Meatball turned around and shook his head with an unpleasant expression. Kai nodded. He looked at the Wen brothers.
"Have you ever encountered this situation before?"
"No... and I've never heard of it. Generally speaking, ghosts will only follow the things they miss the most before they died. That is their reliance in the world. Once the reliance is burned, they will disappear. Although we know that some ghosts are not afraid of fire, salt and flames can definitely destroy them!"
As he said, Dean immediately opened his backpack and took out a few iron rods used to pick firewood in the fireplace.
"These are all pig iron. Pig iron has a repelling effect on ghosts. When encountering ghosts, this thing is more useful than bullets!"
Ke Kai shook his head and said very confidently: "That's not a ghost!"
Kai has seen ghosts before, and even seen a lot of them, but he can be sure that the thing is not a ghost. Kai did not feel any soul breath on those things. After a person dies, the soul will dissipate, but there are always some exceptions. After some people die, their souls will remain in the world for various reasons. It may be resentment or special environment. In short, their souls are left behind, but it is always bad for the soul to leave the body.
So as the souls stay in the world for a longer time, they will gradually begin to lose their souls, they will lose their memories, lose their humanity, and what remains is their last obsession. →These things are commonly known as "ghosts"! They have no humanity, but they can interfere with reality. Any living person within the range of their obsession may become a target of attack.
However, no matter how they change, their unique breath of souls cannot disappear. By the way, these "ghosts" have no value to Kai's golden fingers or to the demons that feed on souls. They are the residue and dregs of the soul. The cost performance is extremely low.
But those things in front of me don't have the slightest breath of soul!
That's not a ghost!
Dean turned his head to look at his cheap brother. Although he didn't know what the background of his brother who he met for the first time was, he was sure that this guy was definitely not an ordinary person! Would an ordinary person be in this state when seeing a ghost?
Kai ignored Dean's strange look, but walked to the female corpse, grabbed the female corpse, and suddenly a flame with an extremely fierce breath burst out from his palm.
"Ah--!!!!"
The motionless female corpse suddenly opened her mouth and let out a series of extremely sharp screams!
The scream instantly blew out the flame in Kai's hand, which was not very conspicuous. At the same time, everyone on the scene rolled over with their heads covered. The sound was so harsh that even Kai couldn't stand it.
Kai immediately let go of his hand, and the scream stopped immediately.
"Ha...ha...what did you just do?" Dean's first question after recovering was not to ask the female corpse what was going on, but to be more interested in the fire in Kai's palm.
Kai glanced at him, thought for a while and said, "This is the fire of God."
"God's?"
Americans generally believe in God, although there are a few cases, but they are really a few cases. And Kai also discovered one thing, that is, Dean and Sam and their exorcism and hunting of demons are based on the Bible.
But Kai knows very well that there is no God in this world. When Kai was active, the Jewish population was still unknown. As for saying that the world was created by God, that is even more nonsense. In all the divine civilizations, they all claim that the world was created by them. But this is just talk. Those gods have a very clear understanding of their origins. They are the children of the earth, and it is the world that created them. They did not create the world.
"No... I'm an atheist." Kai is indeed an atheist. He has seen those so-called gods, communicated with them, and fought with them. He knows that they are just some stronger species or individuals. As for the creation of the world and omniscience, that's all nonsense. The reason why they are called gods is simply to distinguish them from humans. God only represents power and has no other special meaning.
So Kai is an atheist, targeting modern humans' speculation about gods. God is just a noun, not so mysterious.
Dean is a little confused. A person who claims to use the flame of God is an atheist. It sounds very ironic. But Kai didn't say much. The things involved here are enough to destroy a normal person's three views, so why should Kai waste his breath.
He is not a truth seeker who insists on letting everyone know the truth. Anyway, it's good now. If you believe in God, just believe in God.
"What should we do now?"
"I don't know." Kai was also helpless. With Kai's current strength, being able to use the power of the 'Desert Flame' a little bit was already the limit. Now that little bit of Desert Flame can't do anything to the female corpse, what can he do?
As soon as Kai finished speaking, he heard a series of crackling sounds, as if someone was breaking his joints. And the sound became more and more frequent.
"Outside the door!" Portman immediately turned around and pointed his gun at the door.
Through the glass of the door, everyone could see several shadows moving towards this side like they were dancing a mechanical dance. There was almost no need to think about it, it must be a monster!
Portman instinctively prepared to shoot, but was stopped by Kai.
"Let them in, I want to see what it is." Kai has never been timid. In the past, Kai has always been a non-mystic. He firmly believes that there is no such thing as gods and ghosts in the world, and all mysterious events have their scientific explanations. Those so-called mysterious events are either fabricated or man-made.
So he has never been afraid of ghosts and gods. Later, when he became a policeman and saw more living people, he found that the dead were not so scary. After all, nothing can be scarier than the human heart.
Although he found that this world was completely different from his previous world after traveling to this world, he was still not afraid of those things. He had seen the most bizarre gods, so why should he be afraid of a ghost? Isn't that funny?
Portman was a little nervous. Although he learned a little about the truth of the world from Kai, it was the first time he saw something beyond the scope of science. For example, although mutants are magical, there is also an explanation of genetic mutation. How to explain ghosts?
Sam and Dean felt that their cheap brother was really reckless. They were nervous to death because the things in front of them were beyond their cognition.
But strange things happened, and they were waiting there, but the group of ghosts only danced mechanical dance at the door and didn't come in.
This made the originally weird and terrifying atmosphere a little awkward in an instant, and even a little humorous.
Although these ghosts move slowly, they have been crawling for such a long time, so even if they crawl, they should have crawled here.
"What... is going on?" Now even the slowest meatball found something wrong.
Kai frowned, thinking something was wrong.
He looked back at the quiet corpse, which was still the same as at the beginning, as if everything that had just happened to it was an illusion.
"Ah!!!!"
Just when Kai thought of the word "illusion", Sage, who had been standing behind, suddenly roared, and then his face turned ashen, and blood vessels began to burst. Blood and festering covered Sage's face in an instant, and then Sage turned into a festering zombie, well, the kind in Resident Evil.
Dean and Sam raised their guns immediately, intending to kill this monster.
But as soon as they raised their guns, Kai shot the pistols out of their hands with two shots.
"What are you doing?!!!"
Although Portman and Meatball didn't know what was going on, they immediately pulled out their guns and pointed them at the transformed Sage, but their years of comradeship still made them hesitate.
"Don't move!"
Kai used his mental power to shock everyone.
"Don't move..." Kai raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender.
Meatball and Portman didn't understand why their boss did this, but they still stopped. Only Dean and Sam thought that Kai was too soft-hearted. In their demon hunting career, they have encountered such people who turned into monsters and couldn't do it. But many painful lessons have taught them that sometimes they must not be soft-hearted, because it will only hurt more people!
They can understand this feeling, but... there are always some things that someone must do. And hunters exist for this.
The two secretly reached into their backpacks and planned to take out weapons from them.
"Listen and believe me! Don't move!"
But in the eyes of others, the monster that Sage turned into was walking towards them step by step. Dean and Sam jumped up immediately, holding the weapons they had just taken out of their backpacks, a dog-leg knife and a revolver.
"No!" Kai immediately stood between them, separating Saji and the Wen brothers.
But Saji did not stop, but continued to rush towards Kai, just when everyone thought Kai was about to be attacked by the monster.
Saji stopped.
"Saji is still conscious!" Meatball shouted in surprise.
"Put down your weapons! Now!" Kai looked at the rotten claws that were only a hair's breadth away from him, and instead of moving, he asked everyone to put down their weapons.
"Walter?!!! Are you crazy?!!"
"Believe me! Put down your weapons now!"
At this time, the monsters that had been playing soy sauce outside suddenly ended their soy sauce state and rushed in frantically. Those monsters were more terrifying than each other.
Dean was not the kind of person who would listen to others' advice, but Sam seemed to have thought of something and was the first to drop the dog-leg knife in his hand. Dean looked at his brother, and then at the monsters that were about to rush over. He kept saying Fuck, and finally dropped his weapons.
But a strange thing happened. Those monsters just rushed over, really rushed over, and rushed through their bodies.
Dean closed his eyes tightly and raised his fists, but after waiting for a long time, he found that the imagined attack did not come!
When he opened his eyes, there were no ghosts, and even the door of the room was not opened.
"This... this... what's going on?" Dean asked stutteringly.
"Hallucination!" Sam now understood it completely.
"That's right." Kai looked in the direction of Sage and found that Sage had returned to normal.
"Huh... I was scared to death just now. Just now, you all turned into monsters. If the leader hadn't suddenly called me, I might have shot just now."
It turned out that when Kai and the others saw Sage turning into a monster, in Sage's eyes, Kai and the others also turned into monsters.
"Those monsters just now were hallucinations created for me by this female corpse?" Dean suddenly realized at this time.
"That's right, because just now, I thought of something. Remember the Westin family? According to Tommy's subsequent autopsy, they all died by attacking each other." Kai exhaled. Just now, it was just his guess, but he was not 100% sure. So there is still pressure in his heart. This pressure is not for himself, but for others. If he guessed wrong, he would be fine and should not die, but others...
"You mean..." Sam thought.
"Yes, the Westin family is a well-known model family. It is impossible for them to attack each other for no reason. But what if they are trapped in hallucinations and see each other as monsters or something else?" Kai has always been puzzled by this. Whether it is the self-harm speculation given by Tommy at first, or the speculation that they died from attacking each other later, he is very strange, because there is no reason at all.
Later, the matter of Tommy and his son was the same. Sheriff Sheldon insisted that the relationship between them was very good, and Austin was not a bad boy. Tommy was an open-minded father. Take the family business for example. Although Austin didn't want to take over his father's business, Tommy never blamed Austin and even supported him to go out and try.
After all, everyone has been young, and Tommy understands his son very well.
But the conclusion is that the two attacked each other, and Tommy was tortured and then killed... or killed by his own son. This is unreasonable.
At that time, Kai was always curious about how the female corpse did it back then.
Until before, when the group of ghosts had been hanging around the door and didn't rush in, Kai suddenly thought, could everything they encountered be an illusion? Those dead people were indeed killed by their own families, but they were in a state of hallucination!
This made everything clear.
Then Saji suddenly turned into a monster, and Kai was even more certain.
So there was the adventure just now.
