"It's a torch signal." Alfred shouted as he looked at the bright torch pattern in the sky in the distance. He looked excited, as if he had seen some miracle.
"Did you see it? Did you see it? It's a torch signal." The young Auror shouted to the two people behind him.
"Is this kid even injured on his head?" The staff and sword in Nathanael's hand stirred on the corpse of the monster on the ground.
Beside him, Catherine was checking her rifle. To be honest, she originally wanted to show off, but with the man who claimed to be a bishop around, she seemed to have no chance to show off.
Be it crazy Muggles, ruthless wizards, or even those scary monsters, all they could do in front of him was just a few more cuts.
"Do you know what this means?" the young Auror continued, "it means that we should go over there, there, there will be rescue there, and the Aurors will go to that place with all their strength."
The bishop seemed tired of playing. He pulled out his staff and sword from the corpse, turned to look at the light in the sky, "What do you call that, kid?"
Alfred stood up straight and said: "The torch of the Dawn Goddess. It was once the symbol of our Aurors. It dispels darkness and brings light."
"Goddess of Dawn, hum." Nathanael put away his staff and sword, showing disdain.
"Do you have any opinion on this?" Although he was afraid, Alfred still protested to the bishop. After all, this was about the Auror's face.
"Boy, how many people have you killed along the way?"
Looking at Nathanael standing up from the ground, Alfred took a few steps back, "I...I..."
"Let me answer for you, it's zero." The bishop's thumb and index finger pointed together to form a small circle, "You are following me, like those lost lambs, waiting to be saved. Eliminate the darkness? Don't
Just kidding again"
"I won't allow you to insult us like this, you..."
"What?"
In just a blink of an eye, the Bishop had already arrived in front of the Auror. His broad body blocked the sunlight, and the shadow covered Alfred's entire body.
The young Auror was almost out of breath. The oppression coming from this man even exceeded those of the monsters.
He was horrified to see the black shadow rising from behind the man. He understood that this was an illusion, but the illusion and pressure were so real, it was as if a stone was pressing on his chest.
"You should be ashamed, Mr. Bishop." Catherine stood up and said, "Regardless of the fact that you are a clergyman, what kind of ability do you have to threaten a child like this?"
"Ah, you are right." The corners of Nathanael's mouth twitched slightly, and he crossed himself on his chest, "You are right, madam. I shouldn't be like this."
Caesarine raised the rifle and said: "Then let's go to the hospital? Or to that place?"
"Go to the shining place." Nathanael smiled, "The light will attract moths, and it will save me the trouble of looking for it."
…
"That's... the direction of the school." Tina whispered, "Damn, something happened to the school."
Ellie, who was on Xing Ze's back, looked up at the sky and said, "Don't be nervous, that's the Auror's distress signal. It seems that someone has opened the shield."
"Then we have more reason to go there." Xing Ze said, looking at the sheriff who was checking a car parked on the side of the road.
But judging from his frown, there was no hope for that car.
"Hell, most of the cars on the street have been destroyed." Skrtel walked back quickly and said, "We have to try our luck in other people's houses."
"Most of the houses here are wizards' houses." Tina reminded, "It's hard to find a car. We should walk further. I know there is a Muggle community in front, maybe we can find a car there."
"It will be dangerous to go any further." Skrtel was very worried, "We must be very careful."
As they spoke, the group began to move forward, and there were more and more corpses along the road. The sheriff tightened his grip on the shotgun. He walked at the end of the team and was responsible for looking after the rear.
"Damn it, I know most of the corpses here." His tone was filled with anger, "Those damn cultists. I'm going to make them pay the price."
Tina, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped. People behind her were shocked. Xing Ze was about to ask what happened when he saw the girl squatting down next to the body of a girl.
"Friend?" Xing Ze walked up and asked, carrying Ellie on his back.
Tina nodded, "Like me, he lives in an 'orphanage' and just moved out some time ago, saying he found a good job."
After closing the girl's eyes, Tina stood up and said: "Let's go, squat down, there may be someone patrolling ahead."
When the sheriff passed by the girl's body, he couldn't help but shook his head. It reminded him of his two children. If Xing Ze and Ai hadn't come to ask them to leave that day, it would be difficult for their family to survive such a disaster.
whole.
"I realized that now is not the time, but..." Skrtel leaned forward, "But I still want to ask. Did you know what kind of day would happen? That's why you called my family..."
"Of course not, we are not prophets." Ellie replied, she turned her eyes to Xing Ze, "You have to ask him about this."
Xing Ze observed the surroundings vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no danger, he replied: "Just in case, Mr. Skrtel. Luke's follower, Colin, you should know him."
"That kid turned my dog into a cat. Everyone knows I don't like cats." Skrtel scolded, "I will never forget him."
"They originally made an appointment for your son to go explore the building where the murder occurred on September 1 last year."
The Sheriff's brows knitted together, and his expression became extremely ugly. Because he had entered that ghost place, he clearly knew how many dangers there were in that building.
"Fortunately, your son did not go because of the snowstorm. I have reason to believe that the Sabbat Order was conducting a ceremony in the building at that time. And your son is likely to be part of the ceremony."
After hearing this conclusion, the Sheriff couldn't help cursing: "Those damn bastards, they deserve to go to hell!"
"Shhh -" Tina, who was walking in front, turned to remind, "Colin and Luke, they not only found your son, Mr. Skrtel, they also found many homeless children that day.
Go to that building. In my opinion, it should be a ritual sacrifice."
"Your son's broken appointment probably made the upper management of the Sabbat very dissatisfied. In order to find a scapegoat, Luke Mendes donated Colin to calm the anger of the upper management."
"Really?" The Sheriff couldn't accept it, "What kind of child can be so cruel."
"He admitted it himself," Xing Ze said.
"Have you asked him?" Tina turned her head and asked, her eyes rolled, and then widened in vain, "It was you, the wizard was you, it was you who destroyed the cult stronghold in the sawmill."
The three of them all looked at Xing Ze in unison.
"Why are you looking at me like this? For Merlin's sake, what did you say? Is that a stronghold?" Xing Ze looked confused, "Damn it, I thought it was just a temporary gathering point."
