There are no special guards in the library, or rather, only the two standing outside the door of the papal hall can barely be called guards, and the rest are generally guarded by the pope, but this time, even the pope did not notice anything unusual.

When Ke Dong and Daphne came to the door, the two big guards were still standing guard with expressionless faces like Ke Dong had come yesterday.

"Hello, two big brothers."

Ke Dong greeted with a smile on his face.

The two guards at the door saw that it was the Holy Maiden who had come with someone, and bowed their heads and saluted:

"Hello."

Devany replied with a smile:

"Good afternoon, everyone, I am here for one thing this time, and the specific matter needs to be asked by the gentleman in front of you, so please tell us everything you know, can you?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After seeing that the three of them had negotiated, Ke Dong walked forward leisurely and asked:

"You two, can I ask if there were any other outsiders who came in and out of here besides me yesterday?"

"And her."

The two guards pointed to Michelia behind Ke Dong, who was confused, what does this have to do with me.

Ke Dong took a deep breath, regardless of whether the two guards were joking or not, it was his fault that he didn't finish his words just now.

"Okay, two guard brothers, let me correct you, besides me and this young lady, have there been any other outsiders who have come in?"

The two guards thought about it quietly, as white-level masters, it was needless to say how strong their memory was, and the two of them had been guards for some years, and they could almost recognize these residents.

"If you are a foreigner, there are some, about seven people, who should have come here with the merchant group."

"Really. Can that tell me what they look like? ”

The guards nodded, and given that the description of the words was too pale, the two guards directly used the holy light to roughly project the images of yesterday's seven people.

Five men and two women, a very average adventurer configuration.

"Then thank you both."

After speaking, according to the plot flow, after receiving the news here, it is time to go to the next location, even Ke Dong is no exception, because he has no other news at all.

These seven people are easy to find, if they are still in the capital of light, after all, there are very few hotels in the capital of light, and it doesn't take a day to ask one by one, just near evening, Ke Dong and Daphne finally found the hotel where the seven people lived, and after inquiring with the innkeeper, they learned that the seven people had not come back yet, but according to the time, it should be about the same, Ke Dong and Daphne pretended to be their friends, and easily came to the room of these seven people.

The room was divided into two, one for two girls, as a representative among the gentlemen, Ke Dong naturally came to the room of the five men.

There are not too many things in the room, most of them only have the original things of the hotel, and there are very few things that belong to these five people, Ke Dong probably sensed it with his own strength, and there was nothing abnormal, oh, you asked Ke Dong why didn't he use his hands to rummage?

..

Don't ask me, think about if you put something weird in your bag.

After a while, news came from Daphne, and she didn't find any clues like Ke Dong, so all that was left was to ask the seven people, but I'm afraid that even if the thief hid among them, he wouldn't show up easily, at this time, some special means would have to be used.

In order to give a gift to the seven people who were about to return, and in order to find out the truth of the matter, Ke Dong arranged these two rooms for a while, and countless complex magic arrays were hidden on the floor, and the intricate patterns were like works of art, but they were the devil's art.

Just when the seven people were about to approach the hotel, Ke Dong and the three of them quietly ran out of the window of the hotel, now is not the time, the fishing net has been spilled, just to see if there is a big fish worth catching this time

After the seven of them returned to the hotel, they simply finished their dinner and went out to see the scenery of the City of Light in their own heads, until it was very late, and the seven of them returned to the hotel to sleep, and Colton and Daphne were already waiting impatiently outside the window.

After confirming that all seven people had slept, Ke Dong and Daphne entered the two rooms respectively to activate the magic array, and then it was Ke Dong's performance time.

After a good night's sleep, the seven strangers followed the itinerary and met with the merchant group, preparing to return to their hometown, but when they left the city of light for a distance, inexplicably, they entered a very strange forest, the perennial wind did not hesitate to blow the trees rustling, although it was a forest, but the sun did not project down at all, so that the group had to light the lamp during the day, as they went deeper and deeper, their friends on the convoy began to disappear quietly one by one, Sometimes you look at him, and he suddenly disappears, until everyone disappears to the ground.

.

Parker is a small nobleman in a remote small town, as a nobleman, he has always wanted to go to the capital of light to open his eyes, but the distance is far away, and the cost of hiring a convoy is too great, just right, there is a caravan ready to go to the capital of light, after paying a lot of fees, he finally got his wish and came to the city of light, but he didn't expect that on the way home, fear followed.

When he opened his eyes, he had come to an extremely narrow cavern, with no light around him, no exit in sight, only the footsteps of unknown creatures, all of which brought great fear to this pampered noble young master.

Suddenly, a very faint light appeared in front of him, and he hurriedly got up and walked towards the faint point of light, knowing that after entering, he saw a young man, whose face was covered by a huge cloak.

"Well, hello, may I ask where this is?"

The cloaked man smiled hoarsely when he heard someone speak, and said:

"Is there any new food? This is the den of the Sin Eaters, and you are their chosen prey. ”

What, the nest, the prey, the sin eater, what is this...

Although Parker didn't understand what the cloaked man was talking about, he knew that he was in danger right now, and the man in front of him was his only hope.

"Friend, can you help me, I am a nobleman, I will definitely thank you when I go out."

The cloaked man smiled hoarsely and said:

"Help you, I don't have that obligation."

Parker saw that the other party was indifferent, and couldn't help but plead anxiously:

"As long as you can help me, I will definitely use my family's financial resources to thank you."

"I don't need to take my shoes, because I'm one of the Sin Eaters."

"Aha."

Parker looked at the cloak man laughing wildly in front of him, trembling uncontrollably, and waited until the cloaked man had laughed enough before Parker could barely control his body.

"But don't worry, I'm not like them, I'm an outlier here, I'm tired of eating, and now, I want to play with other things."

"My lord, I.."

Under the intimidation of the cloaked man, Parker couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Come on, come on, don't be afraid, I'll tell you how to get out of here."

"The way to do this is, when these sin eaters are all full, you can both go."

"Ah, this.."

The cloaked man smiled, stopped Parker's words, handed Parker the oil lamp in his hand, and said:

"Here's this, with this oil lamp, you shouldn't be eaten by them in a short time, and this time should be enough for you to figure out how to feed them."

"Goodbye, my friend, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do."

With that, the Cloaked Man disappeared into the darkness, leaving Parker alone in the darkness.

Feed them, feed them, how can I feed them, can I say that I am fed by them? If that's the case, wouldn't I be sure to die here, no, no, no, there must be something else.

After the initial fear, Parker calmed down, after all, it doesn't work to shiver now, as a small nobleman, the world has seen a little.

The surroundings were like a burrow of ants, one hole after another, and Parker, who was carrying an oil lamp, looked around as he walked, and a huge, human-tall mouse appeared in front of him, and a scream ran out of Parker's mouth, but the mouse did not mean to attack him, and his turquoise eyes stared at the oil lamp in his hand.

"Yes, these are the Sin Eaters."

With a bang, Parker seemed to have kicked something, he was holding an oil lamp, it was a knight's helmet, and the unique pattern on it indicated that its owner was originally a knight of the church, not only that, but there were many priests' robes and knights' armor scattered on the ground around him, all of which were the works of the church.

Frightened, Parker didn't care about anything else, and crawled out of here.

The Sin Eater, the clergyman's costume, the weird cloaked man, what does it all mean.

Parker screamed incessantly as he ran around aimlessly, and again, he saw countless other sin eaters, it turned out that the sin eater was a code name, and they came in a variety of shapes, some were rat-like, some spider-like, some goshawk-shaped, but what they all had in common was that they all looked at the lantern in Parker's hand with hungry eyes, and they just waited for the lantern to go out before they swarmed up.

As Parker ran, the flames in the lantern became smaller and smaller, and the cries of the sin eaters around him became louder and louder, and Parker seemed to know that he didn't have much time, but the more he panicked, the more he couldn't control his desire to leave here, knowing that in the end, the flame of the lantern was almost invisible.

What to do, what to do, what to do when you know you are about to be eaten, what if you also know that there is a way to escape, but unfortunately, this method is what you have been looking for but you can't find it, then...

Tremble, cry, plead, go crazy, know that you are slowly choked by the throat, taste the sweet air little by little, and fall to the end of the world.

Parker hugged the faint oil lamp tightly, not caring whether the oil lamp would burn himself, it seemed that this was his lifeline, the only thing in this world that could give him warmth, he didn't expect that what he originally scoffed at now became a treasure related to his life, and he himself took it for granted, it was really interesting.

Hurry, hurry, hurry up and figure out what the hell will feed these monsters.

According to common sense, the more anxious people are, the more blank their minds are, of course, it can also be said that the more people are in danger, the more they can burst their potential, and it depends on whether you are the protagonist.

Although our Parker is not the main character, he still explodes.

Countless entries swirled in his mind, the sin eater, the sin, the clergyman's bones, feeding them, and if all of that pointed to one answer, it should be

Feed them with my own sins.

It's just that this answer is correct just based on conjecture, seeing that the flames are getting smaller and smaller, and the surroundings are gradually falling into darkness, Parker can't care so much, no matter what, he must try, he chose the most direct way, that is, to say his sin:

"When I was fifteen years old, I killed a foreigner with my own hands, and although he only passed by our town occasionally, the strange things in other towns on him caught my attention, and I begged him for them, and even bought them from him, but he did not sell a single one, and he said that it was a souvenir for his family to go back to, and that he wanted his children to know how many countries their father had traveled."

"But alas, he will never go back, I killed him, and with these hands of mine, my father, as the greatest nobleman in town, no one dared to disobey me so much, and I still remember the incredulous expression on his face when my sword pierced his heart."

"After that, my father found out all this, he didn't say anything, just the life of a foreigner, as long as it is kept secret, no one knows, this is the first time I have killed someone."

The rustle of the sin eaters around them was inexplicably heard, as if they were fascinated by Parker's story and couldn't help but want to hear it for themselves.

When Parker saw that his words worked, he knew he had made the right bet, and the rest was up to him to see if his sins were enough to feed these guys.

"When I was sixteen, I defiled an innocent teenage girl"

Parker counted the sins he had turned over one by one like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and even the fact that he broke his father's collection when he was a child and passed the responsibility on to his subordinates was told about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains.

However, it seems that there is a person who can quietly listen to your sin, and that seems to be a good option, everyone needs to repent, so the church exists, but there are some things that cannot be told to the pastor, but here it can, these sin eaters are like the most perfect pastor, except that they can't speak.

However, there is always an end to a person's sins, and slowly, Parker began to have no sin to say, so he could only make it up, one after another, and gradually, he couldn't resist the deep sleepiness and slept quietly.

..

In the darkness, a voice rang out.

"Looks like it has nothing to do with this group of people."

Ke Dong shook his head slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied, and said to Devany on the side.

"But if it's not them, could it be the inhabitants here, or maybe some people have unknowingly touched the Papal Chamber."

Ke Dong was silent for a moment and said:

"Regarding this, there is probably only the first possibility, if that person is strong, it is impossible for the two guards not to pay attention to him, obviously, there is no such person, then, there is only one possibility left."

Devonne frowned, if the thieves were hiding among the inhabitants of the City of Light, it would be a very bad situation, it would have been difficult to talk about, and it would not be easy to search for someone in the city of Noda without any clues.

"Let's go, let's go back to the Papal Chamber, I think I need to take a look at the library."
