"You really didn't know Lilith was at the hotel?"

Wen Ming didn't talk much about Sarah's problem, but instead steered the conversation back to the secrets of the Iron Hotel.

Dean shrugged: "Of course I don't know. It's possible that Wen Fugui secretly hid her here. After all, Wen Fugui is very secretive. Even if he brought out an archangel, I wouldn't find it strange."

Wen Ming thought of the nine angels in the Nine Dragons Coffin House and nodded, saying, "That's possible. So, Lilith really can't die?"

"Of course we can't die!"

Sam looked at Wen Ming seriously: "She is one of the sixty-six seals. If she doesn't die, Lucifer won't be able to come out of hell, and the War of Apocalypse won't break out."

After listening, Wen Ming knew that the two brothers already knew the entire plot of "Supernatural". He pondered for a moment and then asked, "In your universe, are there Nephalem? Or Nephalem, the Nephalem other than Jack?"

"a lot of."

Sam's answer made Wen Ming sit up straight: "A lot?"

"Yes, there are many Nephilim born from the union of angels and humans, and quite a few born from the union of demons and humans as well."

Wen Ming immediately recalled Qing Hou's speculation about Lilith's origins, and he asked again, "In your Hell, are there Demon Lords like Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal?"

"Of course there are, they are very famous, but it is said that they have all been sealed away."

Dean recalled his experiences in hell, a flicker of pain crossing his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Wen Ming felt his heart pounding wildly: "The World Stone? Have you ever heard of it?"

"The World Stone?"

Sam thought for a moment, then gave an affirmative answer: "I've heard of it in some legends, but as for where exactly it is, we'll have to check the recorder's notes."

Dean and Sam's grandfather, Henry, belonged to an organization called the Recorders.

For centuries, the chroniclers have been battling an evil force that has been eyeing humanity, and in the process, the organization has accumulated a wealth of knowledge about supernatural species.

The book "Supernatural: The Encyclopedia of Supernatural Creatures" that Wen Ming studied recently is one of the recorder files that Sam and Dean updated.

Wen Ming turned to look at Qing Hou behind him, and Qing Hou immediately nodded and said, "It seems that the least likely guess has become the most likely guess."

"What do you mean?"

Dean and Sam looked at Wen Ming with suspicion, and Wen Ming told them about Qing Hou's speculation about Lilith's origins and the history of Diablo.

When they heard that Lilith and the angel Inarius had stolen the Worldstone and created Sanctuary, the two brothers were dumbfounded: "She created a new world?"

Sam, being the quickest thinker, immediately realized something: "It's quite possible that there are parallel universes in our universe, and those are all part of God's creation."

"It's also possible that this happened more than a thousand years ago in your universe."

Qinghou quickly offered an explanation: "After all, the story of Diablo begins in 1263, which was a dark age."

Sam and Dean exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously: "That's possible. We'll need to go back and check the recorder's file."

So, Lilith is the Mother of the Nephalem? She actually had a child with an angel?!

“That’s right. So far, you’ve only encountered angels and humans, demons and human children, and you’ve never seen an angel and demon child before, have you?” Wen Ming guessed.

"That's right. I've never heard of angels and demons having children. After all, they are opposites and fight whenever they meet."

Dean and Sam also realized that Lilith's ambitions were far from small: "If Lilith controls the Nephalem, then her threat level is no less than Lucifer's."

“Lucifer and a human fathered a Nephilim, who eventually became the new God. I find it hard to imagine what kind of destruction Heaven and Hell would be in after the seal on the Nephalem is broken.”

Having confirmed that Lilith was very likely the mother of the Nephalem, Wen Ming also felt that the matter had become more complicated.

Just then, the Queen of Qing suddenly asked, "So, how likely do you think it is that Wen Fugui is the Archangel Inarius?"

"Walter?"

Dean and Sam both gaped open: "What are you saying?"

Wen Ming slapped his forehead. "Qing Hou's imagination is just unbelievable."

……

After chatting for a while, Wen Ming led the Wen Family Duo directly to the altar room.

When they saw Lilith's stone altar, the two brothers were dumbfounded: "What?! Could Wen Fugui really be Inaris?"

Qinghou chuckled beside her: "I told you, it was very likely! Now the probability has increased to 88%."

Wen Ming didn't bother with that. He pointed to the altar and asked the two brothers, "Do you recognize this seal?"

"Of course, this is a demon seal, the highest level, and only such a seal is worthy of Lilith."

Sam immediately recognized the seal on the altar and warned, "Be sure not to let this altar be stained with blood, especially the blood of three different people."

"Yes, I understand. The opening of Diablo IV is about three people being sacrificed to summon Lilith."

After confirming that the altar was indeed sealed with Lilith, Wen Ming couldn't help but sigh.

When you left, why didn't you take Lilith with you?
"So, who exactly is that Lilith who's all lively and energetic outside?"

Wen Ming voiced his question, and Sam and Dean exchanged a glance: "We'll have to ask Kawhi about that."

Upon hearing "Little Ka," Wen Ming looked at Dean with a teasing smile: "Is Little Ka just like in the TV dramas, only loving you?"

The brotherhood between Cassidio and Dean is the most genuine bond in Supernatural.

Whenever Dean prays, Cassidy, no matter how busy or how big the matter, will drop everything and appear behind Dean.

Dean immediately revealed a smug expression: "Kawhi truly loves me."

"Come on, he loves you because it's God's command."

Sam didn't hesitate to expose Dean, then looked at Wen Ming: "Any other questions?"

"One last question, Hellhound."

Upon hearing the words "Cerberus," Dean immediately showed a look of horror. Sam quickly put his arm around his brother's shoulder and said, "It's alright, it's all over now."

Dean nodded to indicate that he was alright, but the scene of him being torn to pieces by the hellhound seemed to still flash before his eyes.

Dean, who had always taken life and death lightly and was always ready to fight anyone who disagreed, couldn't help but tremble.

"I also encountered a creature similar to a hellhound."

Wen Ming gave a brief account of the dark gray vortex and the black vicious dog. Dean nodded immediately after listening and said, "It's the hellhound. They are invisible to humans, but they become visible at the Iron Hotel."

When they appear, they take the form of a huge black dog with fiery red eyes.

Ordinary weapons cannot kill it; only iron and salt can harm it.

The Winchester we left for Wen Fugui is a special exorcism tool. If used in conjunction with the Salt Iron Bullet, it can cause maximum damage to him.

Next time, you can sprinkle a ring of salt around the terrace, so they won't be able to leave the salt ring for a while.

You can also draw a demon-trapping array to lure them into it, allowing you to fight them more effectively within a smaller area.

Wen Ming was secretly pleased; the Wen brothers were much more honest than Lilith.

He was almost always open to sharing his knowledge.

Their valuable combat experience is definitely worth studying carefully.

He immediately asked again, "What was the green crystal that fell after it died?"

"Green crystal? What's that?"

Sam and Dean both shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen such a thing before.

Wen Ming wasn't disappointed when he didn't get an answer, but instead asked again, "Why did the Cerberus appear at the Flatiron Hotel?"

Sam and Dean laughed at the same time: "Because the Iron Hotel has a large magic circle depicted on it."

"A large-scale magic array?"

Wen Ming looked at the two brothers with a puzzled expression.

Sam explained, "Wen Fugui said that he drew a large magic circle in the hotel that is specifically designed to suppress all kinds of demons and monsters. Any evil creature will have to show itself here."

really.

The hotel's buffs all come from magical power.

Wen Ming smiled happily: "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner, and then we'll go to a bar for a good drink tonight!"

Dean immediately cheered, "We have to have a party! Is your receptionist off duty yet? Her name is Mana, right?"

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "If you're so capable, go ahead and make the appointment. I won't stop you."

Dean rubbed his hands together: "Looks like you know nothing about my womanizing skills!"

20 minute later.

Dean sat in front of the open kitchen, looking disheveled, and obediently watched Wen Ming make pumpkin eight-treasure rice and braised beef behind the teppanyaki grill.

"What happened? Did the Casanova slip up?"

Sam looked at his brother with a teasing expression, and Dean snorted, "I just remembered, at the Iron Hotel, my charm always turned negative."

Wen Ming paused while cooking, glanced at Dean, said nothing, and continued making the braised beef.

Sam and Dean were joking around when Pepper, looking exhausted, sat down in front of Wen Ming: "All tests are complete. No employees have been possessed by demons."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Wen Ming served Pepper, Perkins, Rebecca, and Marcus each a bowl of mango, lily bulb, and white fungus soup: "Have some soup first."

"Your cooking is absolutely amazing."

Pepper cheered, and Perkins and Rebecca squinted their eyes as well.

Wenming's delicious food always brings joy.

Dean's eyes lit up when he saw the three beautiful women. He raised an eyebrow at Perkins and asked, "Hey, are you a time traveler too?"

"I?"

Perkins lowered his head and took a sip of the fragrant and sweet white fungus soup, then said with a sour face, "I wish I could time travel, but unfortunately I can never leave this hotel for the rest of my life."

Dean paused for a moment: "You're a character from the story brought back by the time traveler?"

"Yes."

Perkins lowered his head and took another sip of the white fungus soup. The boss's soup was getting better and better. Was it just his imagination?

Dean and Sam exchanged a surprised glance. They seemed about to say something, but then shook their heads at each other and obediently waited for Wen Ming to feed them.

Soon, the pumpkin eight-treasure rice and braised beef were served, and the sweet aroma of pumpkin and the rich braised flavor of beef immediately filled the restaurant. Many people in the restaurant looked up in this direction.

"Is Wen Ming coming over to cook tonight?"

"He hasn't been the head chef for a long time!"

"It's his signature pumpkin eight-treasure rice, but unfortunately I can't eat it because I'm allergic. How awful!"

……

Hearing the surrounding diners' comments, Dean praised, "You're more diligent than Wen Fugui. He usually doesn't cook for us; he just sends ghosts and demons to fool us."

Wen Ming couldn't help but smile: "Can you eat the food they make?"

"You know what, the taste is alright, but it's much worse than yours."

Dean took another bite of the pumpkin eight-treasure rice and exclaimed, "Mmm, this is much better than my favorite bacon cheeseburger."

"A cheeseburger?"

Wen Ming suddenly thought of something: "There's someone who loves cheeseburgers just like you. You two can have a good chat later."

"Really? The cheeseburger is the best food! Hmm, the second best, but right now the best is your pumpkin eight-treasure rice!"

Dean cheered and became completely absorbed in the food.

Wen Ming smiled slightly, finished his meal, and returned to his office.

As for the Wen brothers, Wen Ming believed they could find the most suitable form of entertainment, after all, this wasn't their first time visiting the Iron Hotel.

"Boss, it seems we must treat Lilith with utmost care."

Qinghou served Wenming a cup of tea and sat obediently opposite him.

She knew that Wen Ming was thinking about Lilith at that moment.

"That's right, I didn't expect that a 3% chance would turn into a 100% chance."

Lilith is not only the white-eyed demon in *Supernatural*, but also the final boss of *Diablo IV*, the mother of the Nephalem.

Wen Ming ran his right hand over the book of spells, thought for a moment, and then put it away in a spatial capsule: "I now suspect that she has put a spell on this book of spells, so that it can listen to everything we say!"

"We are still very small in the face of her power."

Qinghou sighed softly, then encouraged Wen Ming: "At least we've established contact with the Wen brothers. With them around, Lucifer will die too."

"The two of them?"

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "If it weren't for God's favor, they would have died countless times. We can't entrust our fate to others... Hmm... What's going on?"

As Wen Ming was speaking, he suddenly noticed the hotel tremble slightly. He looked at Qing Hou in surprise and asked, "Did you feel it? Was it an earthquake?"

"No, I didn't feel anything... Huh? Laura and Ida are back!"

With her eyes closed, Qinghou quickly connected to all the surveillance videos of the Iron Hotel and soon spotted Laura and Ida entering the hotel.

Wen Ming stood up: "What about elsewhere? Is there any movement?"

"No, everything is normal. The hotel guests haven't noticed anything unusual either. Are you just imagining things?"

As the two were searching for the source of the tremor, Lara and her companion arrived at Wen Ming's office, looking travel-worn. Seeing Wen Ming, Lara smiled happily: "We got the Triangle of Light!" Seeing the half of the Triangle of Light and the Eye of the Crystal in Lara's hands, Wen Ming praised, "As expected of you!"

He tossed out the all-purpose capsule and took a wooden box from the weapons cabinet.

The wooden box was opened, and the other half of the Divine Light Triangle, which Lara had kept, lay quietly on the velvet lining.

"Finally, we have them all!"

Excitement flashed in Laura's eyes as she stepped forward and pieced together the two pieces of the Divine Light Triangle with the Crystal Eye, placing them in the wooden box. But just as she was about to close the lid—

hum!
The three objects simultaneously emitted a dazzling golden light, the radiance swirling within the box like liquid gold.

"what happened?"

Wen Ming abruptly took a step back, raised his hand to shield his eyes, and dared not look directly at the dazzling light.

"This...this is going to be combined? They can merge now? It's not even the Nine Stars Alignment yet..."

Laura's eyes also showed confusion: "The time hasn't come yet, and we can combine them in the metaverse?"

"Something's wrong!"

Laura instinctively drew her twin pistols, while Ada Wong's fingertip was already on the trigger.

The cyan-gold cloak of the Queen surged, blocking Wen Ming's way like a shadow.

A dazzling golden light instantly filled every corner of the office, but was strangely confined within the four walls, while the night outside the window remained dark.

The fragments of the Divine Light Triangle in the box trembled and attracted each other in the dazzling golden light, as if driven by a mysterious force. The Crystal Eye floated up and precisely embedded itself in the central groove between the two Divine Light Triangles.

Ding--

A clear, melodious sound pierced directly into everyone's minds.

The light suddenly dissipated, and the complete divine triangle floated silently in the air, its surface shrouded in mysterious patterns.

"How could that be? Wasn't it supposed to be repaired only at the very last moment of the nine-star alignment?"

Lara was somewhat surprised and tried to pick up the Triangle of Light, but the mysterious object, which was neither gold nor iron, suddenly flew into the air.

The office door was suddenly flung open by an invisible force.

call out!
Suddenly, the Divine Light Triangle transformed into a streak of light, bursting out of the open door and flying away rapidly.

"Stop it!"

Wen Ming knew something was wrong and rushed out.

Qinghou had transformed into a stream of azure-gold data, which swept towards the corridor.

Laura and Ada Wong followed closely behind, loading their guns as they ran.

The Divine Light Triangle moved so fast it was almost an illusion, spiraling upwards in the blink of an eye, passing through the fire escape and reaching the rooftop of the Iron Hotel.

When the four stepped onto the rooftop, the scene before them froze them in place—

The ancient white tiger stone sculpture perched on the roof of the Iron Hotel was now radiating a moonlit white light.

A triangular beam of divine light hung directly above his forehead.

The group felt as if they were hallucinating, because in their eyes, the pupils of the tiger-shaped stone carving slowly rotated and locked onto Wen Ming.

It was as if the white stone tiger had awakened.

The next second, the shimmering white light on the white stone tiger suddenly intensified.

"Roar--!!!"

The roar of a tiger, carrying the power of antiquity, exploded in Wen Ming's mind. Caught off guard, Wen Ming suddenly covered his head.

Qinghou was startled and quickly helped Wenming up: "Boss, are you alright?"

Laura and Ada Wong also gathered around.

Both of them had worry in their eyes.

The white light of the stone tiger intertwined with the golden light of the Divine Light Triangle, forming a vortex. After a few breaths, the light of the Divine Light Triangle was completely hidden in the white light of the stone tiger.

Immediately, the white light emanating from the stone tiger faded, and it returned to silence.

The tiger's roar in Wen Ming's mind also disappeared at that moment.

"Well--"

Wen Ming felt dizzy and tried to stand up, but he fell directly into Laura's arms.

"Wen Ming!"

The three women all gathered around. Wen Ming shook his head in Laura's huge cloud, feeling even more dizzy.

So soft.

Oh no, I'm so dizzy.

Fortunately, Wen Ming was only unconscious for a few seconds before recovering. He struggled to sit up and asked, "I'm fine now. Didn't you hear the tiger's roar?"

"No."

The three women shook their heads in unison.

Just then, a sudden tremor came from the space.

"Click——"

A thunderous roar suddenly exploded in everyone's ears.

Everyone was startled, but Qinghou reacted the fastest: "The hellhound is here! Prepare for battle!"

Wen Ming took out his all-purpose capsule and smashed it on the ground. With a bang, the weapon cabinet immediately appeared.

"Use salt bombs on them all!"

Wen Ming shouted, and he grabbed a fully loaded Winchester in his hand, quickly slinging the ammunition belt over his shoulder.

Marcus and his companions all pulled out their Winchesters, ready to fight.

Kara and Ada Wong, lacking salt bullets, could only draw their iron daggers and stand beside Wenming to protect him.

"Om-"

A dark gray vortex, taller than a person, reappeared above the rooftop garden of the Iron Hotel, accompanied by crackling lightning.

The entire space shook violently at this moment.

"Ow—"

The hellhound, its body shrouded in blackish-gray mist, roared as it leaped out of the blackish-gray vortex. As soon as it landed, it was knocked back several steps by a single shot from Marcus.

Rebecca and Perkins' Winchester blasts went off simultaneously, and before the Hellhound could even unleash its power, it was blasted apart by three shots.

"It works!"

Wen Ming was overjoyed.

Last time, they thought a lot of hellhounds would come, so they didn't have time to let Marcus and the others test the effects of the salt bombs. This time, Wen Ming intentionally tested the salt bombs, holding back the fire. As a result, three salt bombs were enough to make the hellhounds disappear once.

Although it's not quite as good as the Winchester in my hands, at least I won't have to face the Hellhound alone anymore.

The Wen brothers are indeed reliable in handling affairs.

Well, she can be unreliable at times, but she's still much better than that Lilith.

Marcus and his two companions worked together seamlessly, and the hellhound couldn't even get half a step close to Wen Ming before being completely blasted into a green crystal.

Laura and Ida Wong breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Although they were highly skilled and daring, they were still a little intimidated by this kind of magical monster.

However, before the two could exhale completely, the dark gray vortex suddenly grew larger.

No, it didn't get bigger; it was just stretched open by a huge head.

It was a hellhound several times larger than the previous one, struggling to squeeze out of the dark gray vortex.

Its head alone is more than the height of a person.

The crowd could even hear the blackish-gray vortex howling in pain.

too big!
It's going to burst!
"Qinghou, quickly go and invite the Wen brothers!"

Wen Ming looked up at the hellhound, which was several times larger than before, and couldn't help but swallow hard. Then he shouted, "Focus fire! Don't wait until it's fully out!"

Marcus and his two companions immediately raised their Winchester rifles and began unleashing a barrage of attacks. Wen Ming also raised his Winchester and continued to bombard the enemy.

The giant hellhound was repeatedly thrown back as it was beaten, howling in agony and struggling frantically, while the black-gray vortex continued to expand.

"The bullets were useless?"

After the group emptied their magazines, they discovered that the enemy only had dozens of bloody holes blasted into his body and was not seriously injured.

While rapidly reloading, Wen Ming calmly said, "It's effective, but it's too strong, so the effect isn't obvious. Let's fire another burst!"

Everyone stared intently, and saw that the giant hellhound's aura had indeed weakened slightly, but it still glared fiercely at them.

Everyone perked up and quickly emptied another magazine, but the giant hellhound finally squeezed out of the dark gray vortex.

The crimson light, as if it were a tangible substance, shot out from the eyes of the giant hellhound, and its chilling aura made everyone afraid to look it in the eye.

"Clap!"

The giant hellhound landed on all fours, shook its fur violently, and the black blood stained its fur was immediately flung onto the terrace.

"Zi-"

The black blood was like concentrated sulfuric acid, and it immediately burned huge holes in the ground.

The giant hellhound roared to the sky and raised its foot to charge forward, just then Dean and Sam arrived.

"Walter?"

Even though the two brothers had seen all sorts of storms, they were still somewhat dumbfounded at this moment.

This feels like a nightmare.

How could there be such a huge hellhound?
However, both men were seasoned veterans, and almost simultaneously they pulled out a demon-slaying blade from their robes. But just as they raised the blade and charged forward a few steps, the giant hellhound's tail swept across like a huge wooden stick, and the two brothers were immediately swept away.

"Clang!"

The two demon-slaying blades fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this lull, Wen Ming had already reloaded Winchester's ammunition for the third time. He fired at the enemy almost without stopping, while Marcus and the others were busy but not chaotic, rapidly reloading and attacking.

"Bang bang bang-"

Black bloodstains bloomed continuously on the giant hellhound's body, like mandalas from hell.

Beautiful, yet deadly.

In pain, the giant hellhound slammed its massive paw down with a stench of blood, like a huge dark cloud enveloping Wen Ming.

"then!"

Wen Ming tossed the Winchester in his hand to Ada Wong beside him, then his arms shot up, his muscles bulging like tightly wound steel cables.

With a "rip," Wen Ming's shirt exploded into shreds. He lowered his knees slightly, managing to withstand the enormous beast's claws with his own flesh and blood.

The ground cracked beneath his feet, and gravel flew everywhere.

"Now—"

Before the roar subsided, his spine tightened like a bow, and the veins on his neck bulged, actually lifting the hellhound's paws inch by inch!

Before anyone could understand what Wen Ming was shouting, they saw the Demon-Slaying Blade, which had been thrown to the ground, suddenly appear on the head of the Hellhound, wrapped in two streams of cyan-gold data.

"Boom——"

The sound of a water-filled balloon being popped suddenly rang out at this crucial moment.

"Ow—"

The giant hellhound let out a miserable howl, its scarlet eyes instantly extinguished as if blown out by a candle in the wind, losing all their previous ferocity.

The giant hellhound, blinded, shook its head frantically, trying to fling away the Demon-Slaying Blades. However, Qinghou held the two Demon-Slaying Blades firmly in place, and Wenming also firmly grasped its front paws. The giant hellhound's eye injuries actually worsened due to the violent shaking.

"continue!"

Wen Ming suddenly exerted force with both hands, slamming the giant hellhound onto the terrace. Marcus and his men unleashed a fourth wave of salt bombs at it almost simultaneously with Ada Wong's Winchester.

The Wen brothers also got up from the ground, pulled out two revolvers from their bodies, and began to fire bullets.

Qinghou floated in the air, waving her hand to pull the Demon-Slaying Blade from the eyes of the giant hellhound, and then frantically stabbed it towards the giant hellhound's waist and abdomen.

The giant hellhound howled in agony, trying to get up, but was riddled with bullet wounds.

Most importantly, Qinghou's speed is too fast.

In just a few seconds, it was stabbed hundreds of times.

"Woo——"

The giant hellhound quickly lost the strength to struggle, and it couldn't understand until its death how these people could be so lacking in martial ethics.

I haven't even used my ultimate skill yet!

Also, is that a knife?
That's a fully automatic cutting machine!
