Chapter 071: Forcing out the Novice Village
Catherine was hesitant to face this proposal.
After a while, she shook her head.
"Catherine. Oliver looked at her, his eyes full of pity: "Your mother just worked too much part-time and died of overwork, he has to have some ability, can he do this?"
As if realizing that it wasn't a good thing to say that, Oliver looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, Catherine. But please think about it again, really, think about it, come to us, and leave next week at the latest. ”
"Okay, I'll go back first, Oliver. ”
Catherine said goodbye to Oliver and walked out of the courtyard.
She glanced back at the courtyard and turned to leave.
"Hey, Catherine, come and play. On the way, a little boy with a leather ball called out to her.
But she was so preoccupied that she continued to walk as if she hadn't heard.
When he came to the door, he could vaguely see Steve, a monkey with a sharp beak, discussing something with his father Bobby in the house.
"Bobby, I was at the bar last night when I heard McGlenn say that someone was going to pay 5,000 for your daughter, is that true?
"That's all, so you believe it? It's only 5,000, and it's better to sell it to human traffickers. ”
Catherine, who was standing outside the door, froze as she gently removed the key from the keyhole and crouched under the window to listen.
"How do you get this?"
"Hey, hey, hey. Steve let out a sney laugh: "Wouldn't it be nice to go to her room at night, remember, next Sunday, remember to pay back." ”
"Definitely, definitely. ”
Hearing that the two were about to go out, Catherine hurriedly hid in other corners.
After the two left, she returned to her room.
Picking up the picture of her mother on the desk, Catherine's gaze was a little wet.
That frozen smile is so sweet.
The bedroom door was not closed, and the sound of the TV in the living room just came to my ears: "According to the exclusive report of this station, a criminal gang of abduction and trafficking of children in Texas was successfully caught......"
Catherine's gaze looked out blankly.
......
The screen turns.
Or Catherine's room.
The room was dark, and the faint moonlight shone through the window and reflected on the desk.
Catherine sat up from the bed and took out an object that resembled a fruit knife from under her pillow.
Holding the fruit knife, her heart seemed to be much calmer.
Put the knife under your pillow and continue to sleep.
He said he was sleeping, but he didn't close his eyes and looked at the wooden door of the bedroom.
Cha.
There was a soft sound from the wooden door, as if someone had pushed it.
Catherine reached under the pillow and did not move.
The sound of the key inserting into the lock hole sounded like someone was opening the door.
Catherine's gaze trembled uncontrollably.
Click.
The door opened softly, and Catherine's trembling intensified.
The reflection of the moonlight did not cover the door, and a dark shadow was faintly seen entering.
Seeing that the black shadow seemed to be digging for something, Catherine suddenly burst out!
The light in the room was mixed, and it was stabbed indiscriminately.
Catherine put on her shoes and ran away from the door.
......
The screen turns again.
Looking around, it feels a bit similar to Catherine's boudoir, except that there are no fiery red furniture.
She quietly opened the door and looked into the bedroom next to her.
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver stood in the hallway, whispering.
"How's it going?"
"Poppy died in the bedroom, and in addition to Catherine, there was a person's fingerprints at the scene. The man was a loan shark, it seemed that his name was Steve, and the police couldn't find him anywhere, and a wanted warrant had been issued. ”
"Oh, that's right. The woman was a little worried and rubbed her forehead: "Catherine, this child, it's so pitiful." ”
"Listen to me, my dear. Before Bobbi died, he was holding a music box for his birthday. Catherine, also suspected. ”
"Are you crazy, Oliver!" Miss Oliver felt a little unreasonable, and lowered her voice, "She's just a little girl, how can she do this?"
"But ......"
Before Mr. Oliver could finish, he was interrupted: "It's nothing, remember, don't mention this matter again." Also, have you done what you want?"
"Don't worry, in the future, she will be our daughter. ”
"Remember, she's called Catherine Oliver now, not Catherine Bobby, don't get it wrong!"
The picture comes to an abrupt end, and the simulated scene ends.
Ronan lay on the bed in the inn, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Unexpectedly, Catherine still had such an unbearable childhood.
As for calling the police or something, he didn't even know where Poppy lived, so it was not easy to file a case.
This case involving homicide, which has not had an impact on Catherine for so many years, shows that Mr. Oliver has some means.
Steve, who is engaged in private lending in the proposed situation, is most likely a scapegoat.
The difficulty of the whole secret is mainly that Catherine is too strict.
Starting from her life experience, you may also be able to attack.
Old Time didn't participate in this whole process, maybe he learned about it when he joined the old meeting?
"Uh-a-huh. ”
Holding his waist, Ronan sat up from the bed.
He added the little free attribute points that could be allocated to the spirit.
It's not just because the skill of [Charm] is linked to the level of mental power.
More importantly, he wanted to see what skills could be activated when his mental power reached 15 points.
In terms of strength, there is a strong skill blessing, which can be slowed down for the time being.
After adding points, he clicked on [Personal Attributes].
[Name: Ronan]
[Level 4 (40/50)] [!]

"Huh?"
Ronan noticed that after the level, there was an extra exclamation point icon and clicked on it.
【Warning】
[When the protagonist reaches level 5, the newbie protection mode ends]
[Please independently trace the clues of the identity of the ontology and enter the first act]
[If the file has not been entered after more than 200 cumulative readings, the system will be closed]
[Remaining Reads: 69]
[The limit on the number of times you can save and read files will be lifted after entering the first scene]
Ronan stared at the red font, the corners of his mouth twitching.
This is the rhythm of forcing him out of the novice village!
Seeing the remaining times, his smile was a little bitter.
In addition to being reckless with Alice's concubine, there are more reading files, and there are actually not many reading files for the strategy.
The most read are those that are archived for learning......
For example, chemistry, physics, mathematics, Chinese and so on.
Feeling as if he was being targeted by something, Ronan stopped in time and clicked on [Personal Attributes].
"Open Catherine Oliver's chest. ”
【Exclusive Treasure Chest Opened】
[Passive Talent: Occult LV1]
[Purpose: Increase the understanding of mysterious powers and the ability to analyze ancient knowledge]
[If you already have Occult LV1, upgrade to LV2]
Hearing the sound of the occult upgrade, Ronan's eyes lit up.
He also thought that he could only dig up clues by going to the Holy Church, but he didn't expect to complete the upgrade after attacking Catherine.
Taking out a fragment of parchment (14), Ronan looked at it intently.
The vague, barely recognizable characters gradually became clearer......
"His robe and hair are yellow. ”
