Chapter 281: Originally at least 6000 words today, but I was dragged to drink (5000 words)
"Hallucination?" Dean understood a little bit. Everything was fake. "Then what do we do now?"
Dean looked left and right, on guard against any more hallucinations popping up. Although that thing was indeed impossible to hurt him, it was indeed scary. But at this moment, he suddenly found that his brother had a strange expression. He seemed to be
He was trembling, and he didn't dare to stare at a few people. He just lowered his head and looked at his shoes.
"Hey! Sam! What are you doing?" Dean patted Sam.
Unexpectedly, Sam jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, and kept moving backwards!
"Don't come over! Don't come over!" Sam's expression was extremely frightening. He kept retreating. Even after he staggered to the ground, he also kept retreating on the ground, as if he wanted to stay far away from them.
"Sam! What's wrong with you?!!!" What Dean cared about most in his life was his younger brother, which even made him seem a bit gay at some point. Many people mistakenly thought they were gay, but
In fact, this is not the case. Dean just has a strong sense of responsibility. He has always regarded Sam as his responsibility. It is the most important responsibility given to him by his mother and father. In order to protect his younger brother, he will not hesitate to do so.
The world is the enemy.
Seeing that something was wrong with Sam, Dean's first reaction was to rush over to see what happened to Sam. But as soon as he took a step, Kai grabbed him.
"Don't go there, he's hallucinating. Now your image in his eyes is what he fears most." Kai looked at Sam, who was tall and thick. He was half a head taller than Dean and much stronger, but now he looked like
A little girl.
Thinking of this, Kai patted Dean on the shoulder with emotion: "Is he really a witcher?"
Dean didn't react at first, but soon understood what Kai meant. As demon hunters, the most they have dealt with in their lives are those scary and weird things. Without a good psychological quality, they can't do it at all. Although they can't say that in this profession
He is not afraid of anything, but when he sees something strange, he will suppress his fear as soon as possible. Like Sam...it would be too much to be frightened and collapse.
Dean was a little embarrassed when he understood. He naturally knew what was wrong with his brother. Sam was very courageous. He was fearless when facing demons, ghosts, vampires and even shape-shifters. Facing an entire vampire family alone, he
Nothing to be afraid of.
But there was only one thing that he couldn't deal with.
"He had a psychological trauma when he was a child, so he was afraid of clowns...very scared, the kind that would produce physiological reactions. I once thought about helping him overcome it...but the results were not very good." Dean felt it was funny, but also
Said a little embarrassed.
The clown has always been Sam's enemy. I remember one time Dean pretended to be a clown to scare Sam, and also to help him overcome his psychological shadow, but... anyway, Sam didn't talk to Dean for several weeks, which was very...
It was taboo for Dean to talk about what happened that day, and he also made Dean swear that what happened that day would never be leaked to anyone.
In the United States, clowns are not a happy and funny image in many cases. Since John Wayne Gacy brutally murdered 33 boys between 1972 and 1978, the clown's image has begun to be distorted, because every time he commits a crime
He always keeps his appearance as a clown, but his daily life becomes normal again. He always dresses up as a clown to attend parties, lures the victims away, and then commits crimes. This case is just one of many cases. The clown is supposed to bring joy to people.
As a result, the profession gradually became fearful to foreigners.
But generally in daily life, the image of clowns is not too bad. No one is really afraid of clowns in real life, otherwise the circus would no longer be a clown.
It seems that our cute little Sam was indeed greatly stimulated back then.
Just as the two of them were saying these words, Sam encountered a new situation. He suddenly screamed, and one of his wrists was snapped to 90 degrees!
This really scares other people.
According to Kai's guess, the corpse has no ability to harm others. He will only make the target fall into hallucinations, and then let those who fall into hallucinations kill each other. At least the Westing family and Tommy and his son died because of attacking each other.
But now, it clearly exceeded their expectations.
"Sam! Wake up!!!"
Before Dean could rush to protect his brother, Kai once again used his mental powers to wake up Sam.
Following Kai's explosion, Sam immediately woke up in pain and confusion. When he saw Dean already beside him, his first reaction was not to breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, he was shocked, until Dean
Hug him.
"It's okay, Sam, it's me, it's okay, it's okay."
At this time, Dean didn't have the temperament of a grumpy brother at all. Speaking of it, Dean was very much like a western cowboy. He was rough, grumpy, adventurous, loved drinking, and loved women. It's hard to imagine that such a grumpy man would have such a gentle side.
.
But it was also a scene like this that made Portman and the others a little uncomfortable.
Portman even secretly said to Kay: "Boss... tell me, are they..."
Seeing Kai looking at him in surprise, Portman suddenly thought...these two people seemed to be his boss's brothers. And the boss's attitude towards homosexuality was, how should I say, very subtle. If it didn't affect his life, who would
If you like being gay, be gay. He doesn't care much. But if a gay wants to invade his life, he will be very disgusted.
Portman always felt that his boss was discriminating against homosexuals, but he never had the courage to report it. Later, when Portman wanted to play gay, he would hide where Kay couldn't see him. But within Kay's field of vision, Portman would automatically
Switch to heterosexual mode. The two-way plug is easy to use!
In short, Portman knew that if Kai's two brothers were gay and gay, it would be very difficult for the eldest brother to accept.
So shut up immediately and don’t say anything more.
Sam finally calmed down. He just covered his hands and stood up with some lingering fear. From this, it can be seen that this guy is indeed a tough guy. His hands were broken, but he didn't show any abnormality.
"I..." Sam knew that he had just been embarrassed. He knew clearly that the other party was an illusion, but he was still scared to death.
Kai waved his hand and didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he asked Sam carefully what he saw.
Sam also calmed down at this time and slowly explained the vision he had seen.
"In the beginning, when you turned into... clowns, you really didn't hurt me, you were just there to scare me. But as I became more and more scared, the illusion you turned into began to touch me, and then...
"
"What you mean is... but the more people who are dragged into the illusion show fear, the more real the illusion will be, and can even reach the point of interfering with reality?" Kai organized his words a little and speculated on his crime.
come out.
Sam nodded, because he thought so too. Although he was scared, he never gave up thinking. He also guessed this in his heart. Of course, knowing is one thing, but experiencing it is another. This world
One hundred percent of people know that horror movies are all fake and filmed, but when watching horror movies, you should be scared, but you will still be scared.
Sam's fear of clowns is really hopeless. There's nothing he can do about it. His brother and dad think that psychiatrists are a liar and pseudoscience...
Sometimes Sam wants to ask, are the things they do scientific? Are they actually discriminating against other people's psychiatrists? Is it really...
In short, Sam's father and brother both dismissed the so-called psychological shadow and insisted that the best way for a man to fight against fear is to face it. So poor little Sam, growing up, not only did he not accept
Formal psychological counseling, but on the contrary, I was tortured by all kinds of 'stimulation therapy' by my father and brother who are straight men with advanced cancer. It used to be just a simple fear, but now it has turned into a feeling that when I see a clown, my whole body goes weak and I can't breathe.
Rushing, completely unable to control the fear in my heart.
When the others heard this, they looked at the female corpse with lingering fear.
Who doesn’t have something to be afraid of?
"Then we... By the way, head, since you can wake up Sam, can you also wake us up? Then we don't have to be afraid?" Meatball thought, since his boss can wake up people who are trapped in hallucinations
Wake them up, so what are they afraid of?
Unexpectedly, Kai shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not that simple. In fact...haven't you discovered that even now, we are still in the illusion!"
No one expected Kai to say such a thing.
"How is it possible..." Not only Dean and the others didn't believe this, but even Meatball and the others didn't believe it.
"Didn't you pay attention?"
"What?"
"It's raining outside!"
The violent storm outside was still raging with no intention of stopping, but everyone still couldn't see anything wrong.
"It's raining outside? What's wrong with the rain?"
Kai shook his head, pointed to the window that Meatball had opened before, and said: "The rain outside looks fine, but have you noticed that it has been raining for half an hour, but the water on the ground has not changed at all.
!”
Logically speaking, after such a heavy rain, the water on the ground should have accumulated long ago. What's more, the temporary police station is at the foot of the mountain. The rainwater flowing down the mountain should have formed a rapid flow of water, but the ground outside the window
There are still just potholes and no water flow. Just like when it rained.
Everyone looked around and found that this was indeed the case.
"And this rain came so strangely. I remember clearly that there was no rain today and the moon came out at night. Why did it start raining as soon as we came here? And according to the recording left by Tommy
, it also rained on the day they had the accident, but it clearly didn’t rain at all that night!”
In fact, the rain started to fall, and Kai felt something was wrong. But he didn't pay attention at first. It wasn't until he discovered that the female corpse was using illusions to harm people that he began to pay attention to the surrounding environment. Unexpectedly, he actually discovered a loophole.
After all, an illusion is always an illusion, and its source itself is illogical. As long as you look carefully, you can see more flaws. This is why the female corpse wants to use fear to deal with everyone from the beginning. It is simple, people are afraid
Sometimes, thinking will naturally and inevitably have deviations.
Take Sam, for example. He's not an outsider, but he didn't suffer miserably when he knew it was an illusion. Let alone other things.
But the female corpse never expected that among the group of people it was going to deal with, there was actually one person who was not at all afraid of the illusion it created.
It is impossible to say that Kai does not have fear. Normal people will be afraid, but it depends on the situation. Kai has too much experience and has never seen anything. Just a few ghosts and zombies can make him scared.
Is he afraid?
Besides, although everyone has fear, it can also be overcome. When Kai was a soldier in his previous life, he was a scout and a top soldier. Mental quality training was the top priority. Later, Kai traveled through time, and the battle between life and death
I have experienced a lot of horror, and it is impossible to be frightened by just a few gods and ghosts.
"In other words, we were tricked from the beginning?" Portman pointed to himself stupidly, then shook his head, and pointed to others with some uncertainty: "You...could you also be an illusion? In fact, here
Is it just me? Is everything I just experienced a figment of my imagination?"
When other people heard this, they also looked at each other, even Dean and Sam looked at each other. It felt... it seemed very possible!
This made the atmosphere at the scene suddenly become very strange. If those things just happened with their companions, everyone would not be too scared. After all, there are people fighting side by side with them. No matter what, they would have some confidence. But from the beginning to the end,
They are all performing a one-man show... I feel shuddering just thinking about it.
"okay!"
When Kai saw this situation, he immediately interrupted their random thoughts. This female corpse relied on the fear of others to cause trouble. If they were given some unnecessary fear at this time, it would very likely be exploited.
So Kai quickly used his mental power to interrupt their random thoughts.
"I can use my mental power to sense your existence. You are real. It's just that these things we see are fake!"
"Then is there any way to pull us out of the illusion?" Now, even the Wen brothers, who had always thought they were well-informed, began to believe in Kai. After all, in the beginning, Kai showed that he was more professional than the hunters like them.
Much more!
"There is a solution..." Kai said with a wry smile.
Although Kai has always been calm, the situation is actually very serious now. Don't forget, Kai's mental power has always been different from ordinary people. Even he was dragged into the illusion, and he only guessed that he was being dragged through observation.
I entered a hallucination. I didn't feel anything strange before, so you can imagine how weird this hallucination is.
"any solution?"
…
"Hey... you didn't tell us it would hurt so much!" Dean rubbed his shoulders and kept blowing on his shoulders while complaining in a hoarse voice.
The other people were similar. Everyone seemed to have run a marathon and was covered in sweat. They were either slumped on the ground, or lying on the ground like dead pigs. All of them collapsed.
It's really not their fault, after all, anyone who gets burned by the desert fire has this virtue.
The flames not only burn the body, but also turn the soul into fuel.
That's right, Kai's so-called method is to use pain that goes straight into the soul to get rid of hallucinations. It's like hitting the head with a stick when you lose your memory. It's a routine.
"Okay, stop complaining. If you knew the fate of those who were burned by this flame in the past, you would know how lucky you are."
Kai pressed his temples hard, resisting the severe pain in his brain that was like an iron hammer stirring, and comforted him casually.
Desert Flame is the true embodiment of Godhead and the highest masterpiece of the Egyptian protoss. It contains the rules allowed by the universe, and is fierce and domineering. The compatibility between Kai and Desert Flame is not compatible at all, so most of the time, Desert Flame can only be controlled superficially.
, coupled with the fact that his strength has not been restored, in order to make everyone feel the pain that penetrates into their souls without actually hurting them, one can imagine the price Kai paid.
It feels like Zhang Fei is doing embroidery, it is very, very difficult, and it will bring about powerful mental backlash.
What's more, if Kai wants to get rid of the illusion, he also has to burn himself. While enduring the pain, he has to control the desert flames delicately. It is definitely a pain that Kai never wants to experience again.
A group of people suffered from pain for almost half an hour before they could barely communicate as they did now. And in the next few days, the places where they were burned would continue to cause pain. Although that level of pain can be tolerated, but...
That still doesn't feel good.
After another half an hour, a group of people finally stood up.
After all, the biggest trouble has not been solved yet.
That female corpse.
"Then what should we do?" Portman looked at the naked female body and couldn't help but shudder.
Just when they came out of the illusion, everything around them returned to its original state. They were standing in the brightly lit temporary morgue. Although it was night outside the window, the moonlight was bright, the breeze was blowing, and the time was quiet. Where could there be any violent storms?
.
The only difference is that there are obvious traces of being burned by flames around the body, and there is a strong smell of gasoline, but the female body is still as smooth as jade, with not even a trace of stain, and has not changed at all.
Looking at the female corpse, everyone looked at the steaming slap mark on the shoulder, which was burned by the desert heat.
They really don't want to go through the pain just now.
They didn't know before that life was worse than death, but they felt that what they had experienced before was definitely worse than life.
"I..." Kai thought for a while, and finally revealed another trump card. "I'll give it a try."
After saying that, a golden halo suddenly appeared next to him, and then Kai reached in and pulled out two long swords!
Dean and Sam were stunned when they saw this scene. They didn't understand what it was at all. They asked themselves that they were well-informed.
