Chapter 19
The lounge is no different from the first time I came, except that there are some more books on the shelf, and a flower is raised on the table in a small bottle of water.
"Lucia?" Athos shouted.
There is no answer.
Although her sister is naughty and likes to act like a spoiled child, she will never run too far without telling the adults.
Anna said that when Lucia was in her hometown, she liked to climb out the window in the middle of the night and go out to play crazy, but she never did it once in Seranga, and she came home at the same time every day.
Athos thinks that Lucia is a very smart child. She is not like some children of the same age, she will wantonly ask to buy all kinds of toys and new clothes.
Sometimes Lucia's frugality makes Athos feel a little distressed.
Without getting a response, Athos cautiously opened the bathroom door with a spear.
A very fast black shadow rushed out of the bathroom, and Athos gently picked up the spear in his hand, disrupting the speed of the shadow and thrusting forward.
A black strange creature was pierced through its throat, making an angry sound.
The creature's body was like a monkey, but it had bat wings, an anteater-like head, and its body was covered with dark hair.
"Corruptor?" Athos frowned.
This is the seminary, how can there be such a monster?
Rot-seekers like to suck the brains of corpses, and usually move around in places where there are corpses. They have the physique of adult men, can fly silently, and transmit diseases.
In human settlements, rot seekers are almost extinct, and even if they do appear occasionally, they are killed, burned and buried.
Time did not allow him to think too much. Athos clenched the weapon with both hands and pressed down hard, directly splitting the rot seeker in half from the neck down.
The jet-black blood spurted out, and Athos did not dodge backwards and rushed directly into the bathroom.
Although the blood of a rot seeker can spread diseases, for a person with a physique of 16 points and a steel body, there is no danger other than the troublesome cleaning.
There was still no one in the bathroom.
Athos's heart was completely cold, followed by his eyes.
At this point, he couldn't care about anything anymore. Athos turned over the bathroom and quickly returned to the room, carefully checking the cabinets, ceilings and walls.
There's nothing weird about it.
Who can take Lucia here?
Athos was so anxious that he wished he could tear down the entire building.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Athos turned his head suddenly, only to realize that someone had walked outside Lucia's bedroom door.
It was a seminary guard in armor. He was wearing a blessed chain mail, carrying a flail and a javelin, and watching him with a long sword and a shield in his hand.
Athos's data naturally appeared in front of his eyes.

Paladin.
Athos initially believed in the people in front of him, because paladins would never be associated with conspiracies, and if they turned their backs on kindness, they would soon decline in rank.
Athos took out his Patrol Medal from his breast pocket.
"It turned out to be Mr. Patrolman." Andrew's eyes softened a little, but his eyes were still serious, "What are you doing here?"
Athos gave in a little and let the guard see the carrion's body behind him: "My sister is gone, I saw this in her bedroom."
Andrew hesitated for a moment. Out of his trust in the profession of patrol police and the complexity of the current situation, he said, "Your sister is probably not here anymore."
"What?" Athos tensed immediately.
"A lot of kids have disappeared," Andrew said. "Time is running out, please let's talk as we go, we need more professionals to help us now."
"Okay." Athos closed the door and followed Andrew, "What happened?"
"Many children disappeared because it was a visit day. At first, parents thought that the children were going to play." Andrew frowned, "But this is obviously not the case."
"A lot?" Athos asked sharply, "how much?"
"So far, there are twenty-one known, including your sister." Andrew pursed his lips. "The ones who disappeared are all girls."
All girls?
Athos couldn't help but think of the girl with amnesia and autism who was still in the police station.
Are these people a group?
However, all the prisoners at that time had already been arrested. They were all ordinary people, and it was impossible for them to commit crimes in the seminary.
[Lucia. γ
In a daze, Lucia heard someone calling her name.
[Lucia, wake up. γ
It was Mistry's voice, and Lucia gradually came to her senses. She opened her eyes and saw a strange black land with a strange stench.
This is where?
Lucia didn't move, lying face down on the ground like she was still in a coma, listening to the surrounding movement with her ears erect.
[Don't move, Lucia, there are still people here. γ Mysters whispered in Lucia's head.
[I already knew it, you said it too late. γ Lucia gave Mistry a sentence to ease her mood, γWhat happened? I remember being attacked and fainted when I was in the dorm? γ
[Yes, very unfortunate. γ Mistry replied.
[Then find a way to escape now. γ Lucia asked, γHow many people are there? γ
[One, no, the second person is here. γ
Lucia also heard footsteps, step by step as if stepping on her own heartbeat.
Even though he knew that the people who came couldn't hear the voices of himself and Mistry, Lucia couldn't help but lowered her voice: [What is he doing here? γ
[Take some people away. γ Mistry replied.
γsome people? Is there anyone else here? γ Lucia was surprised.
There is no need for Mistry to answer this time, and the three people here are talking.
"That's all?" This was the voice of a middle-aged man.
"That's all here, my lord." This was a thicker voice. "Now that the remaining children have been taken care of, it's hard to do any more."
"A little bit." The middle-aged man said, "But that's all, they are God's Chosen after all, the quality of blood is higher, you go and pick two of them."
"Okay." The sound of the iron lock being opened, Lucia heard the footsteps getting closer and closer to her, and her heart couldn't help but lift.
"That won't work." The middle-aged man stopped, "The priest said that she is one of the saints' candidates."
The footsteps were far away.
"Just these two." The thicker voice said, "It's almost the same anyway."
The middle-aged man said, "Well, you bring them with me."
"But the rest?"
"It doesn't matter, they have already been hit by the priest's spell before they came, and they won't wake up within a day."
The door closed.
[There is no one here now. ' said Mistry.
Lucia climbed up carefully and found herself in a dark room with a dozen or so gorgeously dressed girls lying next to them, all of whom seemed to be seminary students.
There was only a faint light in the room, just beside the thick wooden door.
Lucia thought of the conversation between the two just now.
It's a saint again... Well, when I came to Serancha, in order to avoid the plot of the original book, Lucia has been suppressing her nature to play around, trying to be a good baby, every day at two o'clock and one line.
I didn't expect that even so, couldn't escape the plot of the original book, and it was related to the evil god.
No matter what she thought, she never imagined that she would be arrested in the seminary that implied the safest!
Thinking of the original story of "The Difficulties of Women" in the early stage and the later stage, Lucia felt a headache.
She is neither interested in being an evil goddess to engage in pornography, nor does she want her own brother to come to kill her sister to testify, she just wants to live her own happy life in peace.
Why does this have to happen?
It's no use worrying, the most important thing is to run out first and find an adult to save the rest.
[Think of a way to get out first. γ Lucia said to Mistry.
γcertainly. ] Mistry said, [But it's not easy. It's underground. If you want to get out from here, you have to go through at least a dozen guards and even traps. I think it's still a little difficult for you. γ
γDo you know all about it? γ Lucia was shocked, γI will call you the God of Raiders! γ
[This is just a trick of carving insects. γ Mistry is extremely modest.
γWhat else can we do then? Passive waiting for help? γ Lucia thinks this is very unreliable. If it is useful for others, then Lucia in the original book will not be taken away.
γDid you hear it just now? ] said Mistry, [they will sacrifice human blood. γ
γUm. γ Lucia pursed her lips, γI heard. γ
[The purpose of sacrifice is to perform divine descent. ] Mistry said, [The magic circle has been drawn in the depths here, and it has basically been completed. This place is not far from the magic circle. You can perform divine descent on me there. γ
γI haven't learned it! γ Lucia thinks Mistry is making things difficult for him, γSerious is my course for next semester! γ
γso what? γ Mysters asked with a smile.
After thinking about it, Lucia really had no other better way, and finally could only ask: [...So how do we go. γ
[Leave here first. γ Mistry said, γI will tell you where the enemy is, you should avoid it carefully. γ
γAll right. γ Lucia stood up and patted his skirt, γWhat if I got caught accidentally? γ
[Of course I can save you anytime. γ Mistry said with a smile, γBut if I came by myself, I don't know what you will be like. γ
Lucia thought about the possible consequences in the end, and hypocritically refused: [It doesn't matter, I can do it myself. γ
[Let's go then, my lady. γ
