The moment the door opened, Catherine had already protected her whole body with a fighting shield, the thin sword was raised in front of her, and the fearless charge started as the door opened, and the whole person turned into a white streamer and rushed into the house, and the white skirt flew in the wind. As soon as the man in the room turned around, he saw a flickering cold light piercing in front of him.

"Don't come here, or I'll kill her. The man was going to use the dagger in his hand to hold the girl tied to the table, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was swept away by Catherine's rapper, and the second half of the sentence was finished in mid-air. The man flew in the air, and before he could react to what was happening, he felt a person quickly approaching, and at the same time saw a white fist growing in front of him.

"Don't beat him to death. When Catherine rushed to the murderer, Pannis had quietly appeared at the table where the girl was tied, and listened to the beating from behind and said, "It's good to be beaten until you are half dead and angry, and stay alive." ”

"Hmph. Catherine snorted coldly and ended the attack. Within a few seconds, the murderer's limbs had been broken, his two eyes were swollen into two slits, and he could only collapse to the ground and convulse. Catherine dusted off her hands, grabbed the murderer's half-length hair and dragged him to the table, "Is it Luna, how's it going?" ”

"You can't die, it's just blood loss. Pannis didn't shy away from Luna's naked body, her fingers fluttering like butterflies, powders and bandages dancing on Pannis's fingertips, and Luna's bleeding cuts dwindling under Pannis's bandage.

Catherine was not surprised at all where Pannis's medicine came from, as an adventurer, no matter what the occasion, it is common sense to carry emergency medicine and concealed weapons with him, and every experienced adventurer can take out medicine from his side at any time to bandage his wounds. Catherine walked over and looked at it, lifted her skirt, took off a leather pouch from the outside of her thigh, took out her bandage and medicine and put it in Pannis's hand, Pannis didn't speak, threw away her empty medicine bottle, picked up Catherine's one and continued to bandage.

"Why don't you let go of her mouth. Catherine asked when she saw Luna looking at her with tears in her eyes and a muffled sound.

"I'm afraid she'll cry. Pannis said without looking up, "It's going to be noisy." ”

"It's bad. Catherine snorted dissatisfied, reached out and gently stroked Luna's forehead, whispering comfortingly, "It's okay, kid, we're here to save you, don't be afraid." I'll let go of you, but don't shout, your mother will come soon, and if you cry, she will be worried. ”

"Sister Catherine. Luna, who was finally able to speak, said with grievances in her voice: "It hurts me so much that he cut me." ”

"I'll punish him. Catherine said softly, "You relax your body first, and let this brother bandage you." ”

"Luna, Luna, my child. Luna's mother, Ellie, and the old tailor appeared outside the door, and before anyone could arrive, a voice came in.

Catherine frowned, turned around and stopped the two at the door: "Luna is fine, not in danger of life, don't worry." But now that my teammates are doing a simple treatment for the child, it's not convenient for you to go in, so let's go and wait in the carriage at the entrance of the alley, and we'll take Luna out later. ”

"Mother, I'm fine. Luna didn't want her mother, who was not in good health, to see the knife on her body, so she cooperated with Catherine very sensibly and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, listen to Sister Catherine, I'll go out in a while." ”

Hearing his daughter's voice, Ellie's whole body was weak, and he almost fell, and his heart that had been hanging finally let go, and tears flowed uncontrollably down his cheeks, but he still followed the persuasion and returned to the carriage at the entrance of the alley with the support of the old tailor.

"Pennis, how's it going. Catherine sent away the two helpers, who had no combat power, and returned to ask.

"It's going to take a while to bandage. Pannis's hand moved quickly, and his words did not cause any pause in his movements: "There are too many knife cuts." But now the bleeding has stopped, and there is no danger. By the way, you come and see, there's some really interesting stuff on the table. ”

"What's that?," Catherine let out a short exclamation, "This is ...... Circle?"

On the long tabletop, a huge circle was drawn, and Luna happened to be tied to the middle of the circle, and the inside and outside of the circle were engraved with a large number of magic symbols, which were now covered in blood, so Catherine didn't notice it just now. After being reminded by Pannis, he discovered the magic circle under the blood stain.

"It's a pity that Vivien isn't there. Catherine sighed, "Otherwise, you can see what kind of circle this is." ”

"The murderer's actions are clearly trying to make Luna's blood run out and die in agony. Pannis explained, "This kind of behavior, combined with such a circle, can only have one explanation - sacrifice. ”

"Evil god sacrifice?" Catherine frowned, "This kind of behavior hasn't happened in many years, in exchange for power?"

"Not necessarily. Pannis shook his head and said, "It could also be the awakening of the evil god." No, these magic patterns are not for awakening, I think about it, well, I remember, it is the power delivery. ”

"In other words, it's still in exchange for power. Catherine said.

"It's the reverse conveyor. Pannis corrected, "To put it simply, it's the reverse way of transmitting power to the evil gods. ”

"So they've awakened the evil gods?" asked Catherine, a little surprised.

"What's surprising about this, aren't a large number of gods active?" Pannis shrugged, "It's just that you can't enter the world of Yara." It's not strange that one or two of these gods don't mind the sacrifice of the living, it's strange that it's just the reverse transmission, which means that this evil god is still weak, could it be that he just woke up?"

"Luna, have you heard anything since he captured you?" Catherine tentatively searched for clues.

"I don't know. Luna didn't understand the conversation at all, "I've been tied up here since I was captured, and that bastard has been carving things on the table next to me. By the way, I remembered, he should have carved it against a drawing, definitely. ”

"Did he say anything?" Catherine looked down and rummaged through the pocket of the unconscious murderer for a while, and let out a happy laugh, "Found it, it should be this one." ”

"He didn't speak from beginning to end. Luna shook her head: "But I know him, he is a gangster in the neighborhood, he used to learn carving and painting, and worked as an apprentice to some magic shops, but he stopped because he was too slow and tired to make money, and he has been wandering around the neighborhood every day." ”

"It seems that he was also manipulated. Catherine suddenly heard a groan from the unconscious murderer at her feet, sneered, grabbed the collar and lifted the murderer up and threw him on the chair on the side, walked up to him and said calmly: "You should know your current situation, tell the person behind your back, we can bypass you if you don't die, if you don't say anything, hand you over to the city guards, and use your crimes, kidnapping, murder, and human sacrifice, which is enough for you to die twice, you think about it yourself." ”

"You, what are you talking about? The murderer's face was swollen several times, and he said indistinctly: "I just came in, I didn't do anything." ”

"I'm a knight, and I like to give people the opportunity to repent. Catherine smiled and patted the murderer on the shoulder, and the smile was as cold as a metal plate: "So, I always give sinners a chance to lie." Now that you have used up this opportunity, I hope you will think about it later. By the way, I remind you that I am a professional, and my companions are also professionals, including senior priests. We can break every bone you have, and have the priest heal you with healing, and then keep interrupting, I promise, you're not going to die. ”

The murderer was obviously not a brave man, and when he heard Catherine's threat, he swallowed nervously and said tremblingly: "Don't hit me, I said, I told you all." ”

"How did you get there?" asked Catherine.

"I didn't know that last month he suddenly came to me and said that he would give me 3,000 gold coins and ask me to do something for him. I didn't know what it was, but it was 3,000 gold coins, so I just agreed. Later, half a month ago, he definitively pointed out to the girl and asked me to kidnap her home, and gave me a drawing, asked me to carve a magic circle according to the drawing, and told me all the steps behind. I didn't dare kill anyone, but he said he had imprinted a magic mark on me and could kill me at any time, and I was so scared that I could do as he was told. ”

"I'm so scared? I think it's the gold coins that are too tempting. Catherine sneered: "Have you seen each other?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it. The murderer nodded hurriedly: "He is a mage, wearing a dark purple robe, the robe is trimmed with silver, and he wears a ring engraved with dry bones on his hand, and his face is ......" The murderer didn't seem to notice, and as he narrated, the swelling on his face became worse and worse, and in the end he couldn't go on at all, and his face was swollen like a rotten pumpkin.

"Catherine, retreat. Pannis shouted without looking back.

Catherine heard Pannis's shout, and without the slightest hesitation, the support charge opened against Pannis, and her body instantly appeared beside Pannis. The killer's head burst like a balloon as Catherine dodged away, and stinking black blood splattered everywhere.

"Damn, silenced. Catherine said indignantly: "The other party has been prepared for a long time. ”

"Obviously, as soon as you say something you shouldn't say, the pre-arranged magic kicks in. Pannis was still standing beside Luna, motionless.

"You're done?" Catherine asked strangely, seeing that Pannis's hands were no longer busy, "And what are you still standing there for?"

"I found a problem. Pannis touched his chin in thought.

"What's the problem?"

"I found out. Pannis frowned and said with a serious face: "She's not the type I don't like, I think she can be listed as one of my tracking targets in the future, what do you think?"

With a whining sound, Pannis quickly squatted down and dodged the stabbing blow that rubbed against his scalp: "Hey, Catherine, what are you doing here?"

"Eliminate instability. Catherine withdrew her rapier, followed by another straight stab.

"You're going to kill me. "Pannis dodged the chase with a couple of back-to-back flips.

"Isn't that just right?" Catherine still chased after Pannis, stabbing out one sword after another, "The girls will be safe." ”

The two men chased and fled, and in the blink of an eye they circled the room a few times, until they pressed Pannis's back against the wall.

"Come to your senses, pervert. Catherine rushed straight at Pannis, who raised her head in time and smiled when her eyes met.

As the smile bloomed, Pannis's right elbow slammed backwards, and his vindictive-infused arm slammed into the wall like a hammer, making a huge roar, and the wall shattered, revealing a hole large enough for one person to walk through. Catherine did not stop, the sword was in front of her, and she rushed into the cracked hole, and a dull popping sound immediately sounded next door.
