Late at night, dark clouds covered the waning moon, and the lively town was completely silent at this time, becoming quiet and serene, making our barbarian adventurers subconsciously think of the death knell town full of dead people.

However, even in the middle of the night, the town of the living is very different from that of the dead, and the night here is just as full of life. The occasional baby cry or two would be heard in the unknown distance, followed by a few barking dogs and shouting scolding. The barking spread more and more, like the ripples of water droplets falling into the flat surface of the lake, spreading into the distance, and then slowly subsided.

"Well, yes, it's a good day for cat hunting. "Old man Phil Pike, who doesn't sleep, is quite energetic at night, and his eyes are more divine than the black cat crouching at his feet. The old man led Barrett to the watchtower at the top of the attic and arranged for the barbarian to investigate tonight. And the black cat with turquoise eyes was still quietly looking up at the brute at the old man's feet.

"Tonight, well, let me think. Let's go to the house on the right, which is the old Scott couple. But the couple moved out at the beginning of this year, and I don't know much about the new family of three. Old Phil instructed the barbarian, "Go and see what their house is doing at night, and if the investigation is good, I will reward you with fried squid tentacles!"

Yes, that's how Old Phil investigated. Instead of asking questions during the day, or asking other residents around for clues (which he didn't believe in), he jumped on the roof of someone's house like a cat, then sneaked in through the window like a thief, and then went into the owner's bedroom like an assassin to see what they were doing like a pervert.

"What if I get caught in the middle of entering that house?" Barrett asked with a blank face. There are patrolmen in the dead man's town, let alone the living.

He had already seen the occasional gentry and night watchman passing through the observation hole of the watchtower. Despite the loose patrols of the Night Watch, the Barbarians were not thieves or assassins, and were not known for stealth. And you can't be like in Death Knell Town, where you can open a matchless when the situation is not good.

"If you were really caught, say I told you to go. "You can tell them, 'It's normal for cats to catch mice, or fish, or ballroom dance, at night.'" ”

“...... I told them that, does it work?"

"If those who captured you were not tainted by the devil's blasphemous breath, it would have worked!" the old man patted Barrett on the shoulder, "rest assured, you are a strong cat, and even the terrible butterflies are afraid of your strength." ”

"What if those people have been polluted?" is the key, after all, people like the old man in front of him who are not "polluted" must be in the minority. Most people are still in their brains.

"Oh, that's a bit tricky, because my name Phil Pike is hated by the people who pollute me as bees, so they're probably going to lock you up in the hive and stab you with a poison needle. ”

"And then?" Barrett asked, confused, "what will happen after they stab me with a poison needle?"

"I'll let my nephew Steven ...... after that"

Save me?

"Get a few new cats. ”

Barrett looked at the old man in front of him without any shame, and wondered if he should give up this ridiculous task. He had done many more unbearable tasks before, but they were not as grotesque and absurd as they were.

Forget it, bear with me, after all, 100 points of soul energy, and the desperate task of going to Death Knell Town only gave 120 points. I can sneak over and come back with a little story. Barrett made up her mind in her mind.

"By the way, the 'hourglass' will be next to you while you're investigating. Old Phil picked up the black cat on the ground and handed it to Barrett, "He can help you with many things." ”

Barrett lowered his head and looked at the blue-eyed black cat quietly for a few seconds before slowly reaching out and taking it from the old man's hand. The fur on the black cat's body is well maintained and unusually soft to the touch. The black cat gave him the impression that it was soft, slippery, and warm, with a fresh scent of cactus water that he had drunk......

"If you have an accident and are about to be discovered by some guys, the Hourglass will help you stop time so you can run away. Phil Sr. said.

Time stands still?Barrett heard that it was a powerful spell that only legendary mages could master, and that the black cat in front of him could also use it?Of course, he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

Still, he asked, "This black cat, I mean hourglass, how does he stand still in time, and can it cast spells like a mage?"

"No, it's more high-end than that. Old Phil shook his head and said, "He's by shouting." When you're about to be discovered, the 'hourglass' will attract the attention of those guys with a magical cry. ”

"But aren't they still moving?"

"So what, you can take advantage of the opportunity to escape. ”

......

In the dark of night, the crescent moon struggled out of the dark clouds, casting a glimmer of light on the dark earth. In the town known as Antoine's Cellar, a strange rope suddenly flew up from the top of one building and landed pinpoint into another.

The rope automatically wrapped around the decorative cornices at the top of the building, and pulled itself tentatively to make sure it was completely tightened.

After that, the end of the rope was raised high and swung from side to side a few times towards the original building. The next moment, a tall black figure jumped down from the top of the original building, and he grabbed the rope with both hands, and his body swung in the air, moving forward little by little along the rope.

And behind the black shadow, there was a cat with blue eyes. The black cat stood gracefully on the rope, moving forward lightly with standard cat steps, even if the rope kept jumping up and down with the black shadow's climbing, it could not affect the black cat in the slightest......

After half a cup of tea, Barrett successfully reached the top of the target building through the magic rope, and the black cat 'Hourglass' followed him all the time, acting quite well-behaved. It's just that those blue eyes have always stared at the barbarian for a moment, which makes him feel a little hairy, and even lovers in the deep love period can't do this.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" the brute asked the black cat in a very soft voice, "You know, it makes me feel very uncomfortable!"

The black cat meowed softly in response, but unfortunately, the brute did not understand what it meant.

Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on this, there are still "important things" waiting to be done by yourself. Barrett crouched on the roof of someone else's house, wondering how to get deeper into the house.

It's not easy to break in through one of the windows, break into the balcony on the second floor, or get through the chimney that leads to the fireplace.

Wait, maybe I don't need to go straight in to get that old guy's mission done, Barrett suddenly had a new idea. Anyway, it's just a matter of going to the bedroom, and I should be able to do it outside the window.

Just do what you want. Barrett first stood up slightly and glanced into the distance, but fortunately, there was no sign of the Night Watch. Then, leaning on the very good magic rope, he hung himself from the side of the building, and began to look inward from window to window.

The curtains in the master bedroom were not drawn, and a young couple lived inside. The husband slept on the other side of the bed, snoring lightly with his back to Barrett, while the wife, with her curly dark brown hair, was facing the direction of the window.

Our brute adventurer was on all fours against the edge of the window, his face pressed against the glass of the window, slightly deformed. His shadow covered the couple's body by the hazy moonlight. As soon as the wife opened her eyes, she could see this strange and terrifying scene outside the window.

"Seriously, I'm here for your own good, don't wake up. The barbarian thought silently in his heart. Otherwise......

He had even heard the shrill scream of a woman piercing the quiet night sky.

The furniture and objects in the bedroom are very ordinary, the wardrobe, the dresser, the picture frame, there is nothing unusual, the only thing that Barrett cares about is a silver pendant at the head of the couple's bed. The main body of the pendant is a wooden staff with a snake and a bandage wrapped around it.

It was the emblem of the 'God of Medicine,' and Barrett recognized it. The church of the new god was found in the slums of Garano, and, as far as he knew, there seemed to be no shortage of people who believed in the new god, and it seemed that the couple should be one of them.

He checked the room again, then swung from the roof to another, smaller bedroom. There was a little boy living in this bedroom, and Barrett saw an identical silver pendant at the head of the little boy's bed.
