"Ding bell, ding bell." The bell representing the arrival of the visitors rang at No. 6 Fox Street. When the bell rang, Catherine was wearing a thick light blue home cotton dress and a blanket on her legs. She was lying on the lounge chair in the garden on one side of the Western Restaurant. She studied hard under the rare winter sun for many days. The snow on the ground had long melted away, and the warm sunlight spread on Catherine, dispelling the cold of winter, and the sun made her whole body full of warmth.

There is a round tea table on the right side of the lounge chair, and a pot of hot black tea is placed in the tray on the tea table. In the cold winter, in the rare sunshine, drinking a cup of hot black tea, I'm afraid nothing is more pleasant than this feeling.

On the other side of the coffee table was an identical recliner. Panis lay on it, covering his head with a blanket and was sleeping soundly. The slight snoring had a uniform rhythm, and the rustling sound of the pages turning, the silence of the winter afternoon was more obvious.

This is a warm and harmonious scene, everything is so harmonious, so harmonious that it is unbearable to break it.

However, the ringtone still broke the scene in front of me. The moment the ringtone came, Panis poked his head out of the blanket with a whistle, and stood up and looked straight at the direction of the door.

"I'll go." Catherine put down the book, lifted the blanket and stood up: "By the way, come here, what do you want?"

"Dragon Bloodberry Biscuit." Seeing Catherine take the initiative to answer the door, Panis lay down again and said lazily: "Please help me get a glass of milk, the milk that has been soaked is the most delicious."

"You really know how to eat." Catherine sighed helplessly: "Okay, wait for me for a while."

"Thank you, hehehe." Panis smiled foolishly, narrowed his eyes and watched the white clouds floating in the sky, leisurely as if all the troubles in the world no longer exist.

"Huh?" After lying for a while, Panis suddenly jumped up from the chair and threw the blanket aside. With his keen hearing, he found that three different footsteps were walking around the Western Palace and heading towards the backyard. Panis knew that Catherine attached great importance to etiquette. If it was a guest who needed to invite in, she would be taken directly into the living room of the Western Palace, rather than attracting the courtyard like now, unless the person who came was aware of it. After listening carefully to the footsteps, Panis sighed and said to himself: "It turned out that it was the two of them. Tsk tsk, it seems that they are in trouble."

"It really makes me sad. You actually think we are in trouble." A powerful female voice came from the corner of the Western Palace: "It turns out that men are not good things, are you right?"

The other master, the person she was seeking for advice, said in a cold and stiff voice: "Don't quarrel."

"Okay okay, I won't make a noise." The female voice sighed in disappointment: "I'll let you go this time, Panis."

"I said, are you legendary pros who are so bored?" Panis said without any surprise expression, just bored, "Run out in groups to do the same thing?"

"We are willing, we have a good relationship." The footsteps turned around the corner of the Western Palace, and the charming female voice rang behind Panis: "You are so brave, you dare to turn your back to us."

Panis slowly turned around, and Catherine appeared in sight with two women. The two women leaned against each other with arms around. One was erect and had a convex figure, and every move between the eyebrows and eyes was filled with a hint of charm, while the other was cold and tidy. Although the appearance was equally beautiful, his figure was obviously much worse than the first one.

"Help, oh, and indulge." Panis sat upright and said with a chuckling, "Does the two beauties in the shadows come to the door this time represent the hand of the shadows or you?"

"Represents the hand of shadow." The assassin said enthusiastically and coldly: "Shut up, and you don't know where the topic will go when you open your mouth. I just want to say it."

"Oh." The thief sighed indulgently and pouted in grievance. People who don't understand her personality may be attracted by her with just one expression or a sigh, and they will be completely intoxicated by her charm.

"Okay, now Penis is here too." Catherine moved two more chairs, then sat down and asked, "Let's talk about it in detail now, what's going on?"

"We represent the Shadow Hand to make a commission." Wenqing said in a calm voice with almost no tone: "In theory, it should be entrusted to the Adventurers Guild, but among Adventurers, we have experienced a tacit cooperation with you, so I hope you can take it directly."

"Hehe, actually, she wants to say that the only adventurer she trusts is you." Indulge, smiling and exposing the true meaning of the passionate appearance: "So she didn't even go to the Adventurer Guild, and came directly to you."

He swept his passionate and indifferent eyes over his indulgent and charming face, and shrank his head with a smile, raised his hand and said, "Don't look at me like this, I won't say it."

"Let's talk about the content of the task in detail." Catherine was not affected by the indulgent charm, or, after all, she had seen it twice, and had a certain immunity to the indulgent natural charm. She said as usual: "We need to decide on the reply based on the content of the commission. In addition, your strength is stronger than the four of our team combined, why don't you solve it yourself and entrust us with it?"

"The mission is investigation." said enthusiastically: "You adventurers are professionals, and we shadow walkers have no experience in this work."

"Well, this reason is acceptable." Seeing Pennis nodding secretly, Catherine said, "So, what is the mission?"

"In recent months, some problems have occurred in our City of Innocence." He explained enthusiastically and indifferently: "Although the problem is not big now, there is no sign of stopping. This situation annoys the presidents, but if the president or the chief managers, including us, come forward to investigate, the goal is too obvious, and we have no idea about this, so the president hopes to invite reliable adventurers to help solve the problem."

"What's the specific problem?" Catherine asked, "I have to know the content before accepting the commission."

"Life Sacrifice." He hesitated for a while before continuing: "In recent months, more than twenty life sacrifices have occurred in the City of Innocence. The situation is the same every time. The victim's body is lying in a strange magic circle, with wounds all over his body, and blood almost completely dried up. He wrote many symbols in his body that he had never seen before. It is speculated that it should be a kind of text."

Catherine and Pennis looked at each other, hid their surprise in their hearts, and Catherine asked, "What words? Have you brought them?"

"This is a copy." Indulgence took out a few pieces of paper and handed it over: "All sacrifices are the same words."

Catherine frowned and unfolded the copy. Many symbols that she had never seen before were written on paper. The symbols were very messy and had no signs that should be as if the text was. If someone had not explained it in advance, the person who saw them would probably only regard these words as some abstract patterns.

"I've never seen it before." Catherine handed the copy to Penis: "Look."

"Oh." Seeing the symbols on the paper, Panis pulled a long voice: "So these are them."

"Do you know?" The three women looked at him with anticipation at the same time and asked in unison: "What is it written?"

"Of course I don't know it." Panis spread his hands and said seriously: "How could I know this kind of ghost thing?"

"Then you look serious, what?" he shouted indulge in laughter and cry: "If you don't know each other, don't act like you suddenly realize it, okay?"

"Although I don't know each other, I never said I had never seen it." Panis said innocently: "I have seen similar patterns once before. Your speculation is correct. This is indeed a kind of text."

"Where have you seen it?" asked Wan Xiang, "When did you see it?"

"It happened a long time ago, in an ancient ruin." Panis recalled: "It was a very ancient ruin, and it can even be traced back to the First Age of Mythology."

"You mean, this is the first century text?" With indulgent and red lips, the two seductive eyes filled with incredible eyes: "Will this matter involve the mythical era?"

"No." Catherine secretly poked Panis: "Although the text in the first century is rare and complicated, it is logical that some scholars should know a little about it, and there will be no such situation that no one has seen before."

"I know a little about the first century text." The side door of the foreign museum opened, and Vivian, who had been sleeping until noon, walked out and looked around Panis: "But it is not like this. However, there are not only one type of text in the first century. It is normal that there are some relatively unconventional types of texts that have never been seen before."

"Yes, this is a very rare word," Panis explained: "According to the research of two scholars, this should be a special word for clergy in the mythical age, and the rest of them even saw it as a sin."

"Things are connected." said enthusiastically and indifferently: "It is a very reasonable explanation to use the words used by clergy in the sacrifice of the evil gods, but how could anyone use such words?"

"Will it be related to things in the mythical era?" The white and white teeth bit their fingers gently and said in a daze: "It's impossible, that's too complicated?"

"No specific judgment can be made now." Catherine knocked on the coffee table and concluded: "So, all judgments must be made after the actual investigation."

"So, have you accepted this? "Is there any joy on your face?" "Thank you very much."

"We also broke through the evil god sacrifice a few months ago. I wonder if it was the same group of people." Catherine did not answer, but changed the topic: "If so, it would be troublesome. At that time, we encountered that time, the Lord Messenger was a legendary wizard."

"Don't worry." said enthusiastically: "We two will assist you in the investigation at that time."

"Then it's fine." Catherine nodded: "We accepted this commission, but the commission is limited to investigation and we are not responsible for solving it."

"This is what it should be." He exclaimed indulgence and said relaxedly: "Our Shadow Hands will be responsible for solving the problem."

"Also, we can't leave immediately." Catherine remembered something and quickly added: "We need to set off after the New Year."

"It's okay, let's go back to the City of Innocence to wait for you." He said enthusiastically: "After you come, you can come to the headquarters of Shadow Hand to find us."
