Section D, Chapter 29: The Hunter's Family (Knight/Mad Dog)

The wind and snowflakes blew in and poured into the gaps in the clothing. Shivering, the knight tightened his clothes and pressed his body lower to fight the wind.

"Here we are, knight. Mad Dog grabbed the reins and looked to the left: "This is it." ”

"Are you sure?" ordered the mount to stop suddenly, and the knight poured a cold wind into his stomach as he spoke: it was cold...... And the wind was much stronger than last night.

My sister looked at the map. Mad Dog's body tightened, and he kept tugging at his trench coat: "Confirm, Lusa." ”

"Well, that's it. Lusha put away the map and turned to look at Mad Dog: "That ......"

Before Lusa could finish speaking, the mad dog jumped off the horse and carried his sister off the horse. As if to ask for this, Aya shrank slightly and lowered her head.

"Then Edes is really unkind. With a sneeze, Mad Dog pulled the trench coat towards his body: "I actually gave us a map and asked us to come by ourselves." ”

"People are very busy, don't be picky. Patting the snow on his body, the knight frowned: "Which hunter's house is this...... Nag or Sam?"

"Sam's house. That's what Adjutant Bunaro led the team to investigate. Rubbing his hands, the mad dog kept stamping his feet.

"Bunalo?" the knight was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Oh, Adjutant Prague." It's the ...... who went missing with a dozen soldiers."

"What do I call him?" flapping the snowflakes on the windproof hood, the mad dog glanced at the knight, "Do you know why I chose to come to this house?" ”

"What's wrong?" the knight was confused: "No, what are you thinking when you're unconscious?"

"Why are you so serious? These details are useless. Mad Dog waved his hand and twisted his neck: "At that time, Eders brought a total of twelve team members with him. After splitting up at the intersection, Prague investigated the area with five detachment guards under his management. ”

"What's the matter?" the knight didn't understand what he was trying to say.

"You forgot? The dozen or so men in Prague all disappeared in the Battle of Cold Snow Castle. Mad Dog cleared his throat and continued: "You think about the model of the Guards of ColdSnow Castle - the detachment is directly managed by the adjutant, and the command is usually independent of the captain. That is, Prague has its own team. ”

"I know that. The knight sighed, "What's so special?"

"Absolutely. Prague entered the house with five men that day, and then disappeared with them on the night of the Corruptor's invasion. Mad Dog sneezed again, slightly embarrassed: "You really think it's a coincidence?"

"It's just a coincidence. The knight couldn't agree at all: "You're thinking too much." Besides, when they disappeared, there were several members of the team who had never been here......"

"So what? At that time, Prague ordered a hunt and killing, perhaps under the guise of cooperating with the acting. Mad Dog coughed dryly and continued to rub his hands: "You think too little, knight...... On the night of the Battle of Cold Snow Castle, there were too many doubts left, and every time I recalled the details, I could find a lot of loopholes that were extremely scary. Make one hypothesis, and immediately another will completely disprove it. The thinking trap set by the enemy is so good that I have to wonder ......"

"Suspect what?" staring at the mad dog that suddenly fell silent, the knight suddenly realized, "Wait, I know what you're going to say - don't you think that the whole invasion of Cold Snow Castle is just a front?"

"I didn't mean to say it was a cover. The mad dog refused, and then shivered again from a gust of cold wind: "It's just that there are some doubts about the enemy's motives...... Let's not talk about that, let's get inside. ”

With his hand on the hilt of his sword, the knight followed the mad dog towards the gate. The door panel had been removed, and it was leaning miserably against the steps.

"It looks like it was knocked down by a hammer. The mad dog kicked it and broke the door shaft: "They didn't want to install another door?"

"Anmen is useless, who will come to live?" Stepping inside, the knight took a deep breath and said in disgust...... It's still thick and deadly. ”

"Of course. No matter how clean the corpse is, it will still leave a smell. What's more, it's only been a few days?" coughed violently, and the mad dog looked around the living room: "This is a lot of bleeding...... How many people died?"

"It's said to be five people. The knight sighed: "Four of them were killed in the living room, and the other was in the bedroom on the second floor. ”

"Second floor?" Mad Dog narrowed his eyes, "This house is quite big, there should be a basement." ”

"You usually have to have it. Looking at the mad dog that lit the oil lamp, the knight glanced at the blood-stained floor with a little uneasiness: "Just from the bloodstains, you can feel how ferocious it is......

"What's the matter? are you scared, knight?" the mad dog grinned and began to find fault, "Or are you afraid of ghosts?"

"It's normal to be scared, right? Don't tell me you don't feel anything. The knight frowned, "They have settled in the earth, and they should have gone to the underworld and ascended to heaven." ”

"Just talk about you, I don't believe in any heaven. Mad Dog's tone was extremely sharp: "The Templar Knights are just a trick to deceive." ”

"You can believe it or not, but heaven is existence. The knight said calmly: "There is no need to pick on each other because of the difference in beliefs. ”

"I don't care at all, knight. Mad Dog narrowed his eyes: "Well, even if it exists - what good will it do to me? Someone like me with blood on his hands, the angel of Heaven's gatekeeper must kick me out." ”

"You are too pessimistic, the guardian angel is not as narrow as you think. The knight shook his head helplessly: "Even if you have indeed sinned in the past, in the future, as long as you repent, recognize your sins and do more good deeds......"

"Come on, is it the theory of original sin again? The mad dog spat in disgust: "Tell you, Lao Tzu will not repent of anything." I won't regret what I've done. ”

"It's not original sin, we don't advocate that people are born with sin on their backs. The knight felt a great difficulty in communication: "Forget it, let's not talk about it." ”

"I think so. Seresa snorted and picked up the lamp in her right hand, "To be honest, I was still quite afraid of ghosts - you know, I killed too many people. Therefore, I always think that there will be ghosts to seek revenge. ”

"Once upon a time, you were afraid of ghosts?" the knight hesitated, "What about ......now?"

"Do you need to say that?" Mad Dog said proudly, pulling off his hood, "Lucina is a ghost herself, and you are still a Templar who can surpass the undead." ”

"Sister is not a ghost. Lusa hurriedly said, "She's an undead ......"

"Doesn't that mean that?" Mad Dog waved his hand and looked around, "Hmm...... Why don't we split up. This time I'm directing - I'll go to the basement, and the knight will go to the second floor. Lusha is walking around on the first floor. ”

Both nodded and went their separate ways. Gripping the oil lamp, the mad dog walked straight to the hallway on the right: if there was a secret passage or something, it was probably in the basement.
