Chapter 55: Panis' Wrath
"Woo", the wind from somewhere passed through the sewer, blowing the campfire that was originally used to cook in the center of the camp to the point of darkness. Panis, who was vigilant, lay half lying, leaning on the hill wrapped by everyone, without any focus on his eyes, he looked blankly at the empty sewer, and occasionally grabbed some food from his side and stuffed it into his mouth, as if this had become his subconscious action.
A slight footstep sounded from behind him, with a special metal texture in the footsteps. You can tell who the owner of the sound is at first sight.
"Just count you were the worst injured, and then you didn't sleep well." Panis's blank eyes regained his focus and said without looking back: "You are not hungry again, right?"
"Don't take what I think is like you." Catherine sat next to Penis, removed the metal shin and ankle guard on her legs, moved her ankle deformed due to long-term training, and asked softly: "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No, I'm in a good mood." Panis threw a piece of bread into his mouth. The meat sauce on the bread had already cooled down, but Panis swallowed it casually: "Actually everyone knows that our mission has actually failed. With such a large underground space, it's almost impossible to find the shadow of the enemy anymore. Now they just need some time to convince themselves to face the reality. So, they will be idle soon, why are they in a bad mood?"
"Do you remember what I told you?" Catherine smiled and rubbed her arm that was still aching due to the previous battle. She said Lei Ran: "Looking at human heart is the instinct in the bloodline of a person who has received aristocratic education since childhood. Isn't I stupid enough to see that you are angry. Are you angry with me?"
"Why are you angry with you?" Panis smiled reluctantly: "You didn't do anything."
"Hehe." Catherine smiled like a child who had succeeded in the little plot: "I think you should have guessed it too. That's right, if I left those two sisters, I could indeed take Vivian out of the ghost's encirclement, but I still chose to send the three of them out."
"I'm not stupid enough to get angry about your inevitable choice. If you don't do this, it's not Catherine. And in fact, your approach was the best choice at that time. Because even if you are seriously injured, you can't escape far." Panis sighed and whispered: "But, it's just one step away. If we come five seconds later, what we should worry about now is how to cut you out as completely as possible from the ground."
"Hehe." Catherine smirked, "Don't describe it as terrible."
"Don't pretend to be stupid." Panis said angrily: "It doesn't fit your style at all."
"Then say it's not stupid." Catherine looked straight into Pannis' eyes and said seriously: "Then why are you angry? I can see that although you have been making trouble all night, you have never really laughed in your eyes. Just like... when I first met you."
"Don't worry, I'm still looking forward to your redemption and will not leave." Panis said with a smile, "But hehehe."
"You." Katherine looked at Panis's eyes that were rarely narrowed into a line, patted Panis's hand with his fists tightened, and sighed softly: "Thank you, but for the enemy, just defeat it, there is no need to be angry."
"By the way, when you just talked about your experience, it seemed that you deliberately hid something." Panis changed the topic and said, "I think it's probably because they were indulging and enthusiastic, they really meant to find us. Let me think about it. It's definitely the internal problem of their guild, so you need to keep it a secret. If I'm not wrong, it's probably about the traitor, otherwise the other party wouldn't have been able to sneak in here, and it's still so safe."
"Oh." Catherine sighed again and said helplessly: "Are you going to vent your anger on the hands of Shadow? After all, this place is not the capital. Even if you have a good relationship with Heiqing, please pay attention."
"Don't worry, I understand the rules of the City of Innocence very well." Panis's squinting eyes flowed with indescribable brilliance: "I deliberately suppressed my emotions at any time in order to make myself perfect. But now that I am going to walk again, I always have to make some changes, hehe. Since you have been walking around between life and death because of their reasons, how can you not give them a return gift? It's really impolite."
"Forget it, I can't persuade you." Catherine smiled bitterly, "But I also know that no matter what you want to do, you will be controlled to a certain level, and you will basically be sure of not getting any problems, so just do whatever you want, thank you. But I'm really tired, so I'd better go back to sleep."
"Catherine." Panis did not turn back and watched Catherine leave, and called out to her with her back: "Remember, you promised me that you would give me the redemption I expected. So, live."
"Of course." Catherine's smile became brighter and brighter, and she walked away little by little with her hands on her back: "We will definitely welcome our own redemption, I firmly believe."
———————————————
"Dang, dang, dang." In the central square of the City of Innocence, the clocks at the top of the two temples rang eleven times at the same time, indicating the arrival of noon one day. The monotonous bells floated under the gloomy sky, with indescribable dullness, which made everyone in the city feel a kind of depression before the storm came.
Unlike other cities or other blocks in the City of Innocence, those places are in every block. The buildings outside are about low, and the buildings inside are taller and more magnificent. However, the opposite is true for the guild area. In the guild area, there are some buildings with three plus three floors, that is, three floors above ground and three floors underground. These buildings are for the allocation and use of low-level members in the guild. However, when they arrive in the central area, they become single-family courtyards with only one floor high. These are courtyards specially designed for high-rise members of the guild. No more than twenty people can enjoy this treatment in the entire Shadow Hand.
But what is even more ridiculous is that almost no one in these twenty people would really spend the night in these courtyards. These people would rather randomly choose an empty room in the guild area or even the whole city every day than return to their own small courtyard to spend the night. It is not that they like to abuse themselves, but because the habit of the profession of thieves has long been deeply engraved into their souls. For such people who live in the shadows, some of the rules in life that can be grasped by others represents a sign of the arrival of death.
A thousand years ago, a thief predecessor said that the more people ignore the lives of others, the more they fear death, so they will send all those who may take away their lives to hell in advance. This sentence is just right here. Each of these twenty people has killed more people than an ordinary person who has been living in a peaceful countryside in his lifetime, so they are even more afraid of death, and sometimes they have to change two or three residences overnight. Perhaps this is the price of their high position in the hands of the shadow.
But today, in a yard where people were usually empty, the door was suddenly pushed open. A slim figure walked out of the house, stretched hard at the noon sun, and then jumped around for a few times. After doing this, he suddenly looked around sensitively and confirmed that there was no one around and no one could see her childish movement just now. Then he raised his face again and returned to his cold posture as before.
"I haven't been home for a long time, so it's good to come back occasionally." I was indulging in barefoot, wearing only underwear, showing off my beautiful body, walked out of the room, letting the midday sun shine on my fair skin in winter: "It's a pity that I dare not live forever. When will this fearful life end?
"It's over if you die, this is the fate of the assassin." Hearing the indulgent voice, he turned around enthusiastically, his pupils shrank, and he whispered: "Go, go back and put on your clothes before coming out."
"What are you shy?" He leaned close to her passionate face and pecked her cold lips: "I saw everything last night, but I was actually shy today."
"Go and get dressed." He slammed his passion, then raised his face again, pointed to the room and said, "Get out of here now."
"I know, I know, it's so cold." He complained indulgently and grievedly, and crawled back into the house. When he came out, his image changed. He wore a black ankle-length dress and a pair of black high-heeled boots on his feet. His medium-length hair was tied up on his head, and he was fixed with a black hair accessories.
"Are you going to attend the funeral?" He looked at the indulgence with a squinted look and said coldly.
"Actually, it's almost the same. Except for holding a plenary meeting at the headquarters, whenever you meet with other captain-level leaders privately, you don't go to attend the funeral." Indulge shrugged and said casually: "And you are attending your own funeral."
"Then make more preparations and turn it into the other party's funeral if necessary." He said enthusiastically and calmly: "I voted ruthlessly yesterday and asked for an interview today in the evening. I don't know if there is any conspiracy."
"What if he doesn't matter, I'll meet here anyway." Wan Xiang didn't care. He leaned on the bench in the living room, narrowed his eyes lazily and said, "Let's talk about it when we meet."
"Since you know that you have made an appointment to meet here, you actually have to spend the night here last night." He said enthusiastically and coldly: "You are not afraid of being assassinated."
"Who can guess that the time here is the least possible time, we just stay here overnight." He smiled mysteriously, stretched out his pink tongue, licked his bright red lips, and his moist lips shone in the sunlight shining in the window: "And, don't you think it's a different taste in such a dangerous environment? Don't you think it was quite exciting last night?"
"I only know that talking to you is a stimulation to my current spirit." The cold expression on Wenqing's face turned into helplessness. He rubbed his eyebrows and said distressedly: "You'd better shut up quickly and stop talking to me."
