*****************************

"Grab the gun, bring thirty bullets, walk to Tonina's door in full gear, then kick open the door and break in, put the gun on Duke's head, and pull the trigger......"

The picture of this lonely hero came to Luo Ning's mind,

No, he doesn't want to be a lone hero, the premise of saving people is to ensure that he is in an absolutely safe situation or have the certainty of victory, and the lesson of the Rensad incident is enough.

The magic of the Code of Order has not yet been practiced, and a gun is not enough to guarantee victory against an enemy who is not fully understood by supernatural forces.

What to do? Pacing back and forth to see the candles lit on the table, Ronin glanced through the window in the direction of Donina's house.

"That's all there is to it."

With a candle in hand, he quickly went out and walked to the building next to Donina's cabin, it was almost dusk, and the weather was gloomy and the light was dim, and it should be snowing tonight.

With his eyes retracted, he took out the candle and lit it, and placed it on the window so that the candle flame could reach the wooden window frame.

The town is less populated, and Tonina's house is lined with abandoned wooden houses that are uninhabited.

After quickly returning to the house and closing the door, looking at the scene outside through the window, Luo Ning thought silently in his heart.

"Hurry up, hurry up ......"

The long-abandoned wooden window frames were dry, and in less than a moment there was billowing smoke, and the flames were close to a meter high, and at this time many residents of the town came out of their houses and looked at the burning place.

Time's up!

Ronin quickly brought the loaded gun and the remaining twenty-five rounds of ammunition to prevent himself from being at a loss if the situation changed.

trotted all the way to the crowd of onlookers, pretending to be shocked.

"What happened?"

Ye Nifu spread out her hands and shook her head.

"I don't know what's going on, there's a fire here."

The fire was big enough, and the smoke was billowing out, and Tonina's house, which was adjacent to the burning room, must have known about it, but Duke had not yet been seen taking Tonina out of the house.

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Ning pretended to be anxious to remind.

"Next to it is Donina's house, they are still out, I need to remind them."

No one in the room moved, and everyone looked at each other and then remained silent.

Ye Nifu reminded in a whisper.

"In the past, the hostess was very welcoming, but then I don't know how it turned out that I didn't like to talk to the people in the town, and when we saw him, I didn't like to pay attention, as for Mr. Duke...... Like your vanished companion Lenzard, he didn't like to be in contact with people at first. ”

Because the hostess is dead and just a puppet.

The fire had already burned to the door of Donina's house, and it seemed a bit unrealistic to put hope on the other residents of the town, who originally wanted the townspeople to knock on the door to avoid suspicion, but now they can't think about it so much.

rushed to the door and kicked the door open, and the flames were a little hot.

Rushing directly into the house, with one hand on his chest, ready to do it at any time if there is a situation, his eyes are fixed on the dim room, and a pungent smell comes to his nose.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, a figure appeared in front of him quickly.

"Mr. Austin, hurry up and get out."

Luo Ning looked at the woman rushing over, hugged Dong Nina, whose face was covered with tears, and reminded him, and then rushed past him and rushed out of the house.

At this time, the tall man figure appeared, it was Donina's stepfather Duke, with a panicked expression, carrying a huge black suitcase with hurried steps, and a silk scarf on his mouth.

"Mr. Austin, get out of here."

There was only himself left in the room, and Luo Ning was about to turn his head to leave when his eyes touched the half-hidden bedroom door, and he could faintly see a few ropes hanging down from the beams.

It must have been the rope that lifted Donina up, and at the moment there was a shout from outside, coming from the other townspeople.

"Mr. Austin, come out quickly."

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the smoke was very choking, giving up the plan to go in and explore, Luo Ning turned around and rushed out quickly.

When I turned back, the house next to me was completely engulfed in flames, because of the direction of the wind, Dong Nina's house was not too problematic, just wait for the fire to end before going back.

As far as the eye could see, Duke and his wife, carrying a large suitcase, stood alone away from the crowd, and Tonina was held in her arms, her clothes were messy and her eyes were glazed.

Donina's mother was similarly glazed over, looking at the burning house.

It seems that Duke didn't escape the fire in the first place, he should have lowered Donina from the lanyard, cleaned up the remnants of the magic ritual and stored his important belongings, and by the way, brought his wife to life to prevent anyone from rushing in to find out the inside story.

At this moment, the large box in Duke's hand should contain a lot of important information or items about him.

Fortunately, there was a little loophole in his plan, but Dong Nina finally escaped temporarily, and Luo Ning breathed a long sigh of relief and walked to Dong Nina's family of three.

"Mr. Duke, the fire should burn for a while, and it won't be safe until at least the second half of the night, so go and sit down with me first."

If you want to see the contents of the big box, you have to take the initiative to create the conditions, get Duke's attention by yourself, and then let the rats investigate.

Donina looked expectant, but didn't speak.

Duke lifted the large box beside him, held it firmly in his hand, and gestured with a gentle smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, I don't think so, this town lacks everything, but there is no shortage of houses to live in."

A lot of the houses are empty, and it's true that you can live in them with a little cleaning.

"This guy is a chicken thief."

Luo Ning scolded and smiled.

"I know that you and your wife can stand the cold for a long time, but Donina is a child, she can't wait in the cold wind for you to clean up a house in the town, as a teacher, I need the health of my students, and I am the only doctor here, if Donina is sick and needs me to heal, why not prevent it."

Duke looked at Donina in his wife's arms, frowning, a little displeased.

"Then from now on Dong Nina will drop out of school, she is no longer your student, and as for being sick, I will go elsewhere to find a doctor to treat her."

This guy is really resolute, and he didn't hesitate to use Dong Nina to drop out of school as a reason, Luo Ning regretted his too tough statement just now, and now it has brought things to an impasse.

"No, I don't want to drop out."

Dong Nina, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, although there was still fear on her little face, but she could also see the firmness in her eyes that was unquestionable.

Duke's face was gloomy, looking at the girl who was being held in his wife's arms.

If you don't be firm at this time, you obviously can't stand Dong Nina's bold and firm statement in the face of fear.

Ronin simply walked to Duke's wife and stretched out to snatch Dong Nina roughly, with a serious expression.

"Mr. Duke, I don't know what the rules are elsewhere, but only the child has the right to decide whether he wants to withdraw from school or not, and now that Donina has spoken, I think I know what to do, and if you are not satisfied, you can protest anywhere to express your demands."

Walking with the girl to her house, there is no need to think about the box now, the first thing that should be considered is the safety of Donina.

Sometimes it's a good thing that there are no clear regulations and law enforcement agencies, for example, there is no agency in this situation where Duke can file a complaint so that he can take Tonina back from his hands, so he has the courage to say so.

Of course, this situation means that Duke may become angry and do something to himself.

It is not advisable to take the initiative without knowing the details of the other party, but if the other side wants to take the initiative to go to war, there is no choice but to respond passively.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Luo Ning hesitated, stopped opening the door, put one hand on his chest, and held the butt of the pistol.

"Mr. Ronin, I was a little excited just now, probably because of the fire in the house, and I sincerely apologize to you for the bad attitude just now."

When Luo Ning heard the sound, he withdrew the hand on his chest, looked back at the elegant man who rushed over with a large box, and smiled.

"My attitude was a little too tough just now, but I believe that the starting point is all for the good of Donina, so bring your wife with you?"

Duke carried the large suitcase, glanced at Donina, and then took off his hat and saluted.

"Hopefully it won't bother you too much."

The room was surrounded by a desk, and Donina's mother sat in her chair without saying a word.

Luo Ning poured a few cups of hot water, and at this moment it was already dark and the snowflakes were falling.

"Stay here to eat?"

Luo Ning took out the ingredients from the cabinet and thought about making something.

"A lot of people say I'm a good cook."

Duke didn't refuse.

Dinner was a plate of shredded potatoes, plus a fish, plus stir-fried beef with potatoes, Donina ate very happily and her mood improved a lot, Duke also ate some and also praised the cooking.

Only Dong Nina's mother ate very little.

Dead people don't feel hungry!

Luo Ning thought about it for a moment, and suddenly felt a little funny, he actually sat down with a dead man to eat.

Put away the utensils after dinner.

During this time, Duke never left the suitcase more than a meter away, and after dinner, he glanced at the window and turned back to pick up the suitcase.

"Thank you very much for dinner, now that the fire is out, we need to clean the room." His gaze swept to Donina. "Donina will stay with you and take her back after we clean up."

Luo Ning walked to the window and lifted the curtains, Xiaoxue accelerated the ashes to extinguish, there was no excuse to stay at this time, but Dong Nina just had to stay here, walked to the door and opened the door.

"No problem...... You can leave the box here and take it back with you when you're done. ”

Duke went out carrying a heavy suitcase, followed by his wife, waving her hand as she went out.

"No, it's not a big problem."

Still unable to reach the box, Luo Ning nodded, closed the door after the two left, and looked back at the girl sitting at the desk, worried.

After the room is cleaned, Dong Nina will definitely be taken back, which is still very dangerous for the girl.

After pacing back and forth in the room for a long time, Luo Ning heard the squeak of the roof, nodded and signaled that the rats on the beams of the room came down one after another.

This time, the number of rats increased by another glass, reaching more than thirty.

Franklin lay on his desk.

"We've got the latest news."

Luo Ning is no longer interested in listening to those geographical information, and he has to solve the matter in front of him first to ensure Dong Nina's safety.

Looking at the pile of rats lying on the table, a good idea came to his mind.

"Franklin, take your companions, and I'll give you a chance later, and you'll have to get into Duke's suitcase and see if there's any important information."

Franklin nodded.

After receiving a response from the mice, Ronin stroked Donina's head.

"Donina, stay here."

After settling everything, Luo Ning carried a pistol and put on a black cloak and went out.

They were cleaning the old house, and the doors were closed.

He knocked on the door, and after a moment the door opened, Duke looked at the young man at the door, slightly surprised, and smiled.

"Mr. Austin, it's going to take a while to clean it up."

"Donina is a little sleepy, she wants to rest early, I'll come over and help you get it together, so you don't have to wait too long."

Ronin said as he slipped through the gap left by Duke, the smell of smoke in the room was quite strong, and he could hear the "rustle" sound, it was Donina's mother cleaning.

Scanning the dimly lit room, my eyes swept to the suitcase, which had been placed on the beam of the living room, which was difficult for ordinary people to reach, but it was a perfect place for mice.

That's when Duke came over.

"There are only a few simple tasks left, and Sophia and I will be able to do it."

Sophia is the name of Donina's mother.

"It's okay, I'm already here." After a pause, Luo Ning smiled, spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders to tease. "Do you have any secret here that you don't want people to know?"

Duke's face changed drastically, but he immediately returned to normal in an instant, and smiled easily.

"Alright then, we'll have to clean up Donina's bedroom and leave the rest to Sophia." He walked ahead. "Come with me, right here."

He followed Duke into the innermost room, where he had seen ropes hanging from the beams, it was quite dim, the ropes of the beams had been removed, but he could see an iron cage less than a meter high next to the bed in the messy room.

It is the place where Dong Nina is locked up, the iron cage is very over, even if an adult is locked inside, he can't escape, thinking that the girl will be locked up here, Luo Ning's heart tingled.

After coming to your senses, go to the window and open the air window in the room to keep the air flow smooth.

Now that there is no way to see the living room beams, Franklin should have already made the move, and now is to delay as much time as possible to keep Duke here.

"What's that cage for?" He walked over to the cage and pretended not to know.

Duke glanced back.

"There used to be a dog, and Donina loved pets."

What a good excuse! Ronin thought.

At this time, Duke glanced around.

"Let's go out, the smoke here will clear in a while, and then we can take Dong Nina back, and the rest doesn't seem to be too much of a problem."

Luo Ning looked at Duke who had returned to the door and tilted his head to visit the living room, he had to find a way to continue to buy time, and after a little thought, he climbed directly under the wooden bed and yelled.

"Damn, there's a rat here."

Duke was startled and looked back at the young man who had crawled under the bed.

"It's okay, it's a common problem with wooden houses."

Ronin lay under the bed, hoping that Franklin would hear his voice and send a companion to support him, in a resolute tone.

"These guys have some germs on them, they can get infectious diseases, and from the perspective of Donina's health, they must be kicked out."

At this time, sure enough, two rats got under the bed through the hole in the corner of the wall, staring at the young man.

Ronin made an OK gesture to the rats and continued to yell.

"Damn, more than one, Mr. Duke, I need your help, you need to get in."

Duke's eyes were dark, and after a moment he crawled down and slipped under the bed.
