The moment the door opened, Catherine had already protected her whole body with a fighting spirit shield. She raised her sword forward and the fearless charge started as the door opened. She turned into a white stream of light and rushed into the house. The white skirt flew with the wind. The man in the house just turned around and saw a flashing cold light that had pierced in front of him.

"Don't come over, or I'll kill her." The man planned to hold the girl tied to the table with the dagger in his hand, but as soon as he spoke, he was swept and knocked away by Catherine's sword. The second half of the sentence was said in the air. Before the man could react to what had happened, he felt a person approaching quickly, and at the same time he saw a fair fist constantly magnifying in front of him.

"Don't beat him to death." When Catherine rushed towards the murderer, Panis had already appeared quietly at the table with the girl tied up, listening to the beating sounds from behind, saying, "Just give up until you are half dead, leave a living."

"Hmph." Catherine snorted coldly and ended the attack. Within a few seconds, the murderer's limbs had been broken, his eyes swollen into two thin slits, and he could only collapse on the ground and twitch. Catherine dusted her hands, grabbed the murderer's half-length hair and dragged it to the table: "Is it Luna? How is it?"

"I can't die, I just lose blood." Panis did not avoid Luna's naked body, his hands flew like a butterfly, and the powder and bandages jumped and danced at Panis' fingertips. Luna's bleeding edge was constantly decreasing under Panis's bandage.

Catherine was not surprised at all where Panis's medicine came from. As an adventurer, it is common sense to carry emergency medicines and hidden weapons with you on any occasion. Every experienced adventurer can take out the medicine from his side at any time to bandage the wound. Catherine walked over and took out her skirt, took off a small leather bag from the outside of her thigh, took out her bandage and medicine and put it to Panis's hand. Panis didn't say anything, and threw away her empty medicine bottle, picked up Catherine's portion and continued bandaging.

"Why don't you let go of her mouth?" Catherine couldn't help asking when she saw Luna looking at her with tears in her eyes, making a ummy voice.

"I'm afraid she will cry." Panis said without raising his head: "It will be very noisy."

"It's so bad." Catherine snorted dissatisfiedly, reached out to gently stroke Luna's forehead, and comforted in a low voice: "It's okay, child, we're here to save you, don't be afraid. I'll let go of your mouth, but don't shout loudly, your mother will come soon, if you cry, she will be worried."

"Sister Catherine." Luna, who was finally able to speak, her voice was filled with grievances: "He hurts me so much."

"I will punish him." Catherine said softly: "You relax and let this brother bandage you."

"Luna, Luna, my child." Luna's mother Ailly and the old tailor appeared outside the door. Before the person arrived, the voice came in first.

Catherine frowned and turned around to stop the two at the door: "Luna is fine, no life is in danger, don't worry. But now my teammates are doing simple treatment for the child, so it's not convenient for you to get in. Let's do this. You can go to the carriage at the entrance of the alley first and wait, and we'll take Luna out later."

"Mother, I'm fine." Luna was unwilling to let her mother in poor health see her blade. She cooperated with Catherine very sensiblely and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, listen to Katherine's sister, I'll go out later."

Hearing his daughter's voice, Ailly's whole body softened and almost fell down. Her heart that had been hanging over was finally let go. Her tears couldn't help but flowed across her cheeks, but she still followed the persuasion and returned to the carriage at the entrance of the alley with the help of the old tailor.

"Pennis, how are you?" Catherine sent away the two seekers who had no combat power and returned to ask.

"It will take a while to bandage." Pannis's hand was moving quickly, and his speech did not cause any pause in the movement: "There are too many blades. But now the blood has stopped and there is no danger. By the way, come and see, there are some very interesting things on the table."

"What? Oh!" Catherine let out a short scream: "Is this... magic array?"

On the long tabletop, there was a huge circle, and Luna was tied to the middle of the circle. There were a large number of magic symbols engraved inside and outside the circle, and now it was covered with blood, so Catherine didn't notice it for a while. After Panis' reminder, she discovered the magic circle under the blood.

"It's a pity that Vivian is not here." Catherine sighed: "Otherwise you can see what kind of magic array this is."

"The murderer's behavior is obviously to let Luna die in pain." Panis explained while bandaging: "This behavior, combined with such a magic circle, can only have an explanation - sacrifice."

"The evil god sacrifice?" Catherine frowned: "This kind of behavior has not happened for many years, in exchange for strength?"

"Not necessarily." Panis shook his head and said, "It may also be the kind of awakening of the evil god. No, these magic patterns are not used to awaken. I think about it, well, when I remember it, it is power delivery."

"That is to say, it's just for strength." Catherine said.

"It is the reverse transport." Panis corrected: "Simply put, it is the reverse transport of power to the evil god."

"In other words, they have awakened the evil god?" Catherine asked in surprise.

"What's so surprising about this? A large number of gods are active?" Panis shrugged: "This is just that he cannot enter the Yara world. It's not surprising that one or two of these gods don't mind the sacrifice of living people. What's strange is just the reverse transport, which means that the evil god is still weak. Did he just wake up?"

"Luna, have you heard anything after you were caught by him?" Catherine tentatively searched for clues.

"I don't know." Luna didn't understand the conversation between the two at all: "I have been tied up here since I was caught. That bastard has been carving things on the table next to me. By the way, I remembered that he should have carved it against a drawing, it must be."

"Has he said anything?" Catherine lowered her head and searched in the already coma murderer's pocket for a while, and smiled happily: "I found it, it should be this one."

"He never said anything from beginning to end." Luna shook her head: "But I know him. He is a gangster nearby. He used to learn carving and painting. He had been apprenticing for some magic shops, but because he thought it was slow and tired to make money, he stopped doing it and kept wandering around every day."

"It seems that he was also manipulated." Catherine suddenly heard the murderer in a coma at her feet moaning, and sneered, grabbed the collar and lifted the murderer up and threw it onto the chair aside, walked to him and said calmly: "You should know your current situation. Tell the person you are instructed behind you. We can bypass you and never say anything, and hand you over to the city guards. For your crimes, kidnapping, murder, and sacrifice of living people, you will die twice. You should think clearly."

"You, what are you talking about?" The murderer's face was swollen several times and he said in a difficult manner: "I just came in and I did nothing."

"I am a knight, I like to give people the chance to repent." Catherine smiled and gently patted the murderer's shoulder, his smile as cold as a metal plate: "So, I will always give sinners a chance to lie. Now you have used this opportunity. I hope you will think about it later. By the way, I remind you that I am a pro, and my companions are also professions, among which there are high-level priests. We can break every bone of your body, and then let the priest heal you with the healing magic technique, and then continue to interrupt. I promise, you will never die."

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

"How did you get it?" Catherine asked.

"I don't know. Last month, he suddenly came to me and said he wanted to give me three thousand gold coins and asked me to do something for him. I didn't know what happened, but it was three thousand gold coins, so I agreed directly. Later, half a month ago, he pointed out to me that girl, asked me to kidnap her home, and gave me a drawing, asked me to carve a magic circle on the drawing, and told me all the steps behind it. I really dare not kill anyone, but he said that he had already branded magic marks on me and could kill me at any time. I was too scared and could only do what he said."

"So scared? I think the gold coins are too tempting." Catherine sneered: "Have you seen each other?"

"I've seen it." The murderer nodded hurriedly: "He is a mage, wearing a dark purple robe with silver edges on his robe, and a ring with dry bones engraved on his face..." The murderer seemed to have no idea. As he described it, the swelling on his face became more and more serious, and in the end it was impossible to say it. His face was swollen like a rotten pumpkin.

"Catherine, retreat." Panis shouted without looking back.

When Catherine heard Panis's shout, she did not hesitate at all. The support guard charged towards Panis, and her body instantly appeared beside Panis. The murderer's head exploded like a balloon as Catherine dodged, and the smelly black blood splattered everywhere.

"Damn it, I was silenced." Catherine said angrily: "The other party has been prepared for a long time."

"Obviously, once you say what you shouldn't say, the pre-arranged magic will start to silence." Panis was still standing beside Luna, motionless.

"You've finished bandaging?" Catherine asked strangely when she saw that Panis was no longer busy, "Then what are you still standing there?"

"I found a problem." Panis mused while touching his chin.

“What’s the problem?”

"I found out." Panis frowned and said with a serious look: "She is not the type I don't like. I think she can be listed as one of my followers in the future. What do you think?"

With a whimpering sound, Panis quickly squatted down and avoided the sting that had been rubbing against his scalp: "Hey, Katherine, what are you doing?"

"Eliminate the instability." Catherine took back her sword and followed another straight stab.

"You will kill me." Panis avoided the pursuit several consecutive somersaults.

"Isn't that just right?" Catherine still chased behind Panis with unyielding slashes and stabbed out with one sword: "The girls are all safe."

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

"Awaken, change your mind." Catherine rushed straight towards Panis. Panis raised her head at the right time, and when her eyes intersected, she showed a smile.
