We should definitely choose the Su family!

Anyway, the Su family will definitely be able to solve it.

Let alone Dean, if he were in that situation, he would definitely choose to go to the Su family without hesitation.

Only when there is truly no other way out will one consider whether to sacrifice a thousand or billions of people. If there are other possibilities, one will definitely not choose that option.

So Dean wasn't really in a desperate situation at all. With the Su family as his backer, what was there to test him for?

It's not like taking a test where you can only choose from the given answers!

Whether it's a test or an ordeal, what we really want isn't whether Dean's answer is right or wrong, but to know what he would choose in a specific situation.

Then, the existence of the Su family completely eliminated this specific situation.

With the Su family around, what special circumstances are there?

This test failed!

Cassidy was frustrated, and so were the Wen brothers. After all, this was their case, and it was over as soon as they started investigating!

Of course, compared to feeling depressed, the Wen brothers genuinely hoped that there would be more of this situation and more of this kind of depression.

Although they are not saints, they long for the ordinary world of common people. Only when these demons and supernatural events become less frequent can they truly live a peaceful life.

Cassidy and Yuriel left, and Sue rode away in the Wen brothers' car.

Before leaving the town, Su released Nagini from the alternate dimension. There were many forests and mountains nearby, which was very suitable for her to communicate with snakes.

If she prepares more summoned snakes, her Shadow Serpent Hands will be able to truly unleash their power.

Where to next?

Sue sat in the back row, looking out the window at the scenery, and asked Dean and Sam in the front.

There's nothing urgent to do lately, so I'll just follow the Wen brothers to fight demons and monsters!

“It seems like a series of things have happened recently, without any warning, just some illogical and strange things. It might be the ghost’s revenge.” Sam, in the passenger seat, took out his laptop, opened it, and turned to hand it to Su.

"check it out."

"In Washington's concrete city, witnesses say they saw a ghost peeping in the girls' bathroom."

"Ahem—" Dean, who was driving, coughed, and his eyes immediately lit up.

“The victim said the ghost pushed her down a flight of stairs, and I think Dean might be interested in that.”

“Woman, bathroom, we’re going to save these people.” Dean said seriously as he turned the car onto the highway leading to Washington state.

Sue returned the laptop to Sam, and the report on it was basically the same as what Sam had said, so there was little point in reading it.

-

Time: Noon on the second day.

Location: Cement City, Washington State, Qian Dafu Chinese Restaurant.

Characters: Sam, Sue, and Candice, the woman who encounters a ghost in the bathroom.

After Dean drove Sam and Sue to the Chinese restaurant, he drove to Candace's house to survey the surroundings and see if there were any signs of ghosts.

Sam and Sue were tasked with questioning Candice about what happened and seeing if they could find any clues.

Of course, Sam was the one primarily responsible for asking the questions.

The style of Qian Dafu Chinese Restaurant is similar to that of the Jade Wolf Chinese Restaurant in New York, which is the restaurant of Luke and his friends. Or rather, most Chinese restaurants are similar in style, creating a stereotypical impression that Chinese restaurants should be like this.

“I’m not surprised at all that a ghost wants to see me. I am a medium…” Across from Sue and Sam, Candice glanced at Sue and raised an eyebrow, saying, “A medium!”

A medium?

Sam glanced at Su, who was clearly ignoring Candice and looking at the other guests, and said against his conscience, "I can sense it, Candice, about those things related to psychic abilities."

Candice asked curiously, "What will you name your book?"

Sam interviewed Candace under the pretext of preparing to write a book.

“I want to be called… I want to use… the name ‘evil spirit’.” Sam came up with a name in a moment of inspiration.

"Let's try something else, I think 'Evil Force' is pretty good," Su suddenly interjected.

Sam turned to look at Sue. "What evil spirits and demons? I just made them up. I'm not planning to write a book. Do you really need to come up with a name?"

Evil forces?

That sounds pretty good.

"I travel all over the country, collecting stories. In short, tell me what happened to you."

"it is good."

Candace said slowly, "When I saw the ghost, it was after I had taken a bath. He still knew my name and kept calling me Mrs. Armstrong, Mrs. Armstrong. Then I bumped into the steps and fell down."

Sam asked, "Did you fall down on your own, or did the ghost push you?"

"I...I don't know, I guess he pushed me." Candace was slightly flustered.

"Have you ever felt hurt? For example, by violence or..."

"It was a ghost, and I'm so lucky to be alive. Anyway, I was at the bottom of the stairs when I felt this was really weird. It helped me up."

"What?" Sam was taken aback.

"Yes, it helped me up, and kept muttering, 'Don't tell my mom.'"

"..."

“Yes, it is strange enough…” Sam looked at Candice with a strange expression and nodded slowly, his words not reflecting his true feelings.

"It is indeed very strange." Su nodded in agreement, but he was referring to something else.

Chapter 338 Ancient Coins of the Babylonian God of Chaos

Su turned her head and looked at the table of guests diagonally opposite her, a man and a woman, who were showing off their affection.

To be precise, it's the woman who's actively showing off their relationship.

The woman was wearing a black dress, and she was striking in both appearance and figure.

On the other hand, the man opposite her was pot-bellied, quite old, and clearly the kind of middle-aged man with no redeeming qualities and no achievements.

However, the woman was completely infatuated with him.

The obsession was abnormal; it was as if they had lost themselves and wanted to be with the other person every single second.

The Su family believed in love, but they—clearly didn't!

"What do you think?" Sam asked.

Su turned around, but Candice, who claimed to be a medium, was already gone: "Nice figure."

Sam looked completely bewildered: "What? You, you mean Candace or someone else's girlfriend?"

“They’re all good.”

Su smiled and casually said, "Candice's claim of being a medium is nonsense. The one spying on her isn't a ghost; it's probably a teenager going through puberty."

"I think so too, but how do you explain becoming invisible like a ghost?"

Su looked at the decorative pool in the middle of the restaurant and smiled slightly: "A teenage boy is in love with Candice, and then this boy has a chance to make a wish. What do you think he would wish for?"

Sam followed Sue's gaze to the decorative pool and said speechlessly, "A wishing well? I don't believe that a decorative pool in an ordinary restaurant can actually grant a wish."

Su shrugged: "I'm going to try this restaurant's cooking. What about you?"

“I’m going to find Dean, and I’ll come back here to find you.”

"Row."

After Sam left, Sue waved and called over the restaurant owner.

The restaurant owner was an elderly Asian man, dressed in a white shirt and a bow tie. He looked very clean and tidy, probably to blend in with the local customs.

"Can you cook authentic Chinese food?" Mrs. Su asked.

"Yes, of course!"

"Make a few dishes to try."

"Are there any taboos?"

"No cilantro!"

"Okay, just a moment." The restaurant owner must have been excited to meet someone from his hometown after a long time, speaking in his native dialect.

While waiting, Su got up and went to the pool, which was a decorative fountain pool. The pool was not big, and many coins were thrown into it.

One of the coins was very special; it had a snake design on it.

The snake on the coin is Tiamat, the primordial goddess of chaos in Babylon. Babylonian priests may have been researching black magic and created these coins to sow the seeds of chaos.

When you toss a coin into the wishing well and make a wish, the well is activated. The wish will come true, but it will be distorted.

The influence of these chaotic ancient coins is quite significant. Over the centuries, they have disrupted many towns, some of which have even disappeared completely from the map.

Making a wish might be a little troublesome if only one person does it, but if everyone makes a wish, that's a disaster.

There is only one solution: find the first person who tossed in a coin to make a wish, retrieve the coin, and take back the wish.

And the first person to make a wish—

Su turned to look at the couple who were showing off their affection, or more precisely, at the man!

He was the first person to make a wish, and the wish he made is already quite obvious.

The Chaotic Coin possesses magic and cannot be taken by force. Only when the man retracts his wish will the coin lose its magical protection and be taken away.

Sue has always been interested in wish-granting items, such as lucky rabbit legs and the Staff of Destruction.

Unfortunately, the former is too few in number, and the latter cannot affect the luck value of its own system.

Theoretically, this chaotic ancient coin should be able to fulfill one's lottery wish, but the side effects of this thing are too terrible. Su is not afraid of it affecting him, but he is worried about affecting what he will draw.
