Chapter 43

Lucia found that during this period of time, her brother did not go home directly after get off work, but would hang out outside.

Once, on the way from school, Lucia saw her brother enter the temple of the Moon Maiden.

Lucia was very worried about Athos, so she just squeezed out the practice time from the study time, and collected all the thieves suits.

On the night when Athos was on the night shift again, Lucia waited until Anna and the others fell asleep, and snuck out her new suit from the warehouse.

"This dress is stealth, isn't it?" Lucia confirmed to Mistry before changing her clothes.

"Of course, Lucia, when did I lie to you?" Mistry nodded.

"That's good." Lucia made up her mind to change her outfit, and in an instant, a black hooded outfit appeared on her body, "Does this make you invisible?"

"Yes." Mistry also changed into a cat thief suit, "Don't forget to leave a stand-in puppet here."

"Okay." Lucia took out the stand-in puppet she had drawn and placed it on the bed, watching the puppet grow up and turned into her sleeping self.

This dummy was so real that Lucia couldn't help but stretch out her hand to probe the fake Lucia's breath, and found that she could still breathe.

"I made this specially." Mistry was a little complacent, "It's absolutely the same as you, and there won't be any difference."

The 'self' in front of him was really scary, and Lucia retracted her hand in relief and anxiety: "In this way, at least Anna won't find out that I'm gone at night."

"Yeah, then let's go." Mistry jumped to the cabinet by the window, "Go and see what your brother found."

"Okay." Lucia worked hard, took out a wire from her pocket, and confidently poked it into the lock on the window.

The lock in the room, Lucia has already opened the experience, she only needs to flick it...

Lucia: ? ? ?

I dialed it and didn't dial it, and tried again for a long time, but still no response.

The lock can't be picked!

"What's wrong?" Mistry asked with a smile. "Can't you open it, Miss Lucia?"

"What's the matter?" Lucia looked at the lock carefully and found that although the appearance was the same, the lock had obviously been changed!

"This was replaced by Athos when you were in school." Mistry immediately complained.

"Why do you want to do this!" Lucia felt that it was too difficult, "Suddenly change my lock!"

"It's too much." Mistry and Lucia were filled with righteous indignation.

Lucia was annoyed for a while, then began to worry: "In this case, how do I get out."

"I have another solution here, do you want to listen, Miss Lucia?"

Lucia looked at Mistry expectantly: "What can you do?"

"Although you don't know how to pick locks, I can." Mistrymao showed a kind expression on his face, "Want me to try it?"

Now Lucia will be scared when she hears what Mistry wants to try, she looks at Mistry vigilantly: "You won't charge again, will you?"

"How could it be." Mistry looked at Lucia reproachfully, "Do I look like such a god? How could I charge the lovely Miss Lucia?"

"You look like you, you keep charging." Lucia glared at Mistry, the stingy cat.

"I thought it was just a little fun between us." Mistry laughed, "I don't need it this time, just use the seance again and shape the human body for me."

"After all, a technique like picking a lock, a cat can't do."

Lucia glanced at Mistry's raised front paws, and silently turned back to draw the circle with strokes.

After this period of study, she already has a certain understanding of the magic circle. In order to summon a more complete Mistry this time, she specially added a lot of runes into it.

"Here, I call upon you, Mistry."

"You are the one who has the wisdom to break all traps, and the one who hides in the dark night."

After adding two attributive sentences, Lucia finally said: "Please listen to my call and come here."

After a fog of light, Mistry in the youthful state appeared in the circle.

Compared with the first time Lucia saw it, Mistry was much shorter when he was a teenager, and when he narrowed his narrow black eyes, he was no longer a gentle gentleman, but rather playful.

The clothes on his body were not the three-piece suit before, but the same as Lucia, wearing a hooded thief costume, with a row of throwing knives and spears inserted on the wide belt.

"Oh, Miss Lucia, it seems that you still need to study hard." Mistry's voice was clear, he bent down to look at Lucia with a smile, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Lucia, "Look."

Lucia found that the Mistry fingers she had summoned were missing two, and she was a little embarrassed: "I, I will do it again!"

"It doesn't matter." Mistry took out the lock-picking tool from his pocket, like a professional thief, and took a minute to pick the lock in front of him, "It doesn't matter, let's go see you soon. Brother."

Seeing Mistry picking the lock so easily, Lucia was almost deformed with envy: "You are amazing."

"I can teach you if you want to learn." Mistry poured another bowl of cold water on Lucia when she saw Lucia's joy, "but you have to wait for your vacation."

Lucia grumbled reluctantly: "Okay."

"Let's go." Mistry leaned on the window sill with one hand and rolled out, looking back at Lucia who was a little nimble and crawled out, and began to restore the window to the closed state.

"I'm going to the Moon Maiden Temple now." Mistry was about to jump down, but he felt a heavy load on his back, and when he turned his head, he found Lucia directly on his back, "Miss Lucia?"

"You want Mistry to carry me." Lucia coquettishly said, "I'm so tired, I can't walk."

Mistry's gentle accusation: "Little naughty."

"Gu." Lucia buried her head in Mistry's hood, pretending not to understand.

Mistry supported Lucia with his hands, and silently fell from the second floor to the ground.

He didn't stop, and after running a few steps lightly, he directly supported the fence of the garden and jumped onto the street.

This was the first time Lucia was on the streets of Cerancha at night. She dragged Mistry's clothes and looked around curiously.

Although there are street lights, the whole street still looks gloomy, and there seems to be something jumping out of the shadows of every bush and house.

Lying on Mistry's back, Lucia suddenly felt cold behind her. She couldn't help dragging Mistry, who was running, and just crawled along his arm into his arms.

"What's wrong?" Mistry tipped Lucia upside down to make her feel more comfortable in his arms.

"I-I'm a little scared." Lucia replied timidly.

"Afraid of what?" Mistry asked in surprise.

"It feels different from the daytime." Lucia also felt that her reaction was a little big, and said shyly, "It feels a little scary."

Mistry thought for a moment and smiled: "Are you afraid of the dark?"

"Just a little bit!" Lucia emphasized, "Just a little bit!"

"Okay, I see." Mistry smiled and hugged Lucia tightly, "Don't be afraid, I'm right by your side."

Lucia was hugged by Mistry, leaning her back against his thin chest, and she felt that she was surrounded by a full sense of security.

At this time, when looked around, felt that it was actually no different from the daytime, except that it was a little darker.

Mistry joked: "It seems that my lovely Miss Lucia is not afraid anymore?"

"I've never been afraid." Lucia said stubbornly, "Don't spit blood."

"Really? Was it my illusion that the poor little girl was shaking just now?" Mistry pondered, "It seems that I am really old and have hallucinations."

Lucia went to squeeze Mistry's face, Mistry held Lucia's hand and kissed her fingertips lightly.

The little girl immediately shrank back and shut herself up.

Although the fun of cat form can also be experienced, it is also good to be transformed into human form.

Mistry walked through the shadows lightly and quickly, and soon arrived at the Moon Maiden Temple.

Lucia also stuck her head out of Mistry’s arms and craned her neck to look at the Moon Maiden Temple.

She looked extremely nervous, and seemed eager to find her brother from inside immediately, but Mistry just stared absently at Lucia's black-hooded head.

When he designed this dress, he thought it looked good, but now that it was actually worn, Mistry felt a little dissatisfied.

The hood's cap is a bit small, and it's perfectly fine to add some animal ears to it.

So, should add cat ears, rabbit ears, or dog ears?

It is impossible for Lucia to buy skins again in a short period of time. Mistry thought for a long time and felt that she could give Lucia a lot of animal suits on her birthday.

"Let's go in and find my brother?" the little girl asked Mistry back.

"Yeah." Mistry replied absentmindedly, carrying Lucia into the temple of the Moon Maiden.

He was still thinking about what event he was going to do on Lucia's birthday. It was not impossible to simply give something away, but that was really boring.

Since the exam is about to take place... let's start the quiz activity, and if you answer 100 questions correctly, you can take the time for the card pool.

After making up his mind, the corners of Mistry's mouth turned up slightly, and he reached out and rubbed Lucia's face affectionately: "Let's go, find your brother."

Lucia felt that Mistry seemed to be happy all of a sudden, she glanced at Mistry blankly, but he was soon led by him to the back of the temple.

In the small garden behind the temple, Lucia saw two people under the magic lamp.

One of them was his older brother Athos, who was wearing a white police uniform and his blue eyes were focused on the priest opposite.

The priest was wearing a silver-white robe, pale and slender, holding a notebook in his hand, and was telling the story to Athos.

"...Her parents died of famine, and the village bullies stole what was left of the food. In the end, she could only come to Serancha and live in a slum to sell her body for food to survive."

"Very pitiful." Athos was very sorry. "Why didn't she look for a job?"

"Of course it's because I can't find it." The priest said gently and sympathetically, "In the three years of the famine, most of Selancha's shops were closed."

"Every day, someone I know leaves, and I've been recording since then."

Athos looked at the priest in front of him, and the priest gently touched the notebook in his hand: "Everyone who comes to confess to me, I will record their stories, although the world has forgotten them, but they also exist. Mark of."

"Some of them are pitiful, some are hateful, some are kind, and some are selfish, but they are all God's children. As long as they come here, God can tolerate everything about them."

"You're really powerful and gentle," Athos said, "but just like that, won't change their lives."

"Yes, only the gods can arrange everything." The priest replied calmly, "I just practice the will of the gods."

Athos seriously denied: "The only ones who can change everything are themselves."

"They're just weak women." The priest sighed, "Athos, I know you came out of the slum, but you shouldn't think that everyone has this ability..."

"But everyone should work hard for a better life." Athos interrupted him, "If you don't work hard, you think you are incompetent, it's just resignation."

The priest was very surprised. He seemed to have never thought about such a problem, but tried to convince Athos: "Athos, the fate of people is already doomed from the moment of birth, we only need to accept the arrangement of God. That's it."

"I think if there really is a god, he would not patiently arrange a destiny for everyone." Athos replied earnestly, "After all, there are so many of us human beings, it is too troublesome to make up all of them."

The priest was shocked by such absurd words, and he immediately retorted: "Mortals cannot speculate on the power of God. Although there are many mortals, it is only a moment for God."

"Then hard work is the destiny of the gods. It's okay to work hard, right?"

Mistry, who was eavesdropping not far away, chuckled lightly: "Lucia, Athos's thoughts are a bit like yours."

Lucia tried her best to stare at him, wanting him not to speak, not to disturb the two people.

"It doesn't matter, the thief suit can block the sound." Mistry said understandingly.

"Wow, you said it earlier!" Lucia was finally able to speak, and immediately began to crackle and pour out a series of afterthoughts, "Why does this priest look down on women!"

Mistry responded like a worm: "Hmmmm."

"What weak woman, I don't recognize it, I'm the eldest sister!" Lucia said angrily, "I'm so angry!"

"Yes, it's short-sighted." Mistry and Lucia condemned together angrily.

The two of them hid together behind the bushes in the garden, listening to Athos and the priest discussing their fate, scolding the priest.

Cursing and cursing, Lucia's bedtime was over, she just kept her eyes open and wanted to listen again, but she couldn't control herself in Mistry's arms and couldn't help falling asleep.
