The man in black hurried to the side of the fountain, and the firelight reflected a dark face under the mask.
The man named Sean continued: "If such a big fire is not ignited, the people in the town will soon discover our actions, and we will all be exposed to the eyes of the world. Is this what you want?"
The tone was very acrimonious.
The woman named Carol turned her face away in disgust, not wanting to look at him, "Valdés, please end the matter here."
The tall man in black beside her smiled wryly, and then came to those who were blindfolded and bound their hands.
"Master Sommerlet!"
He looked at a slightly obese man who was facing him. This man had gray hair and was still wearing pajamas.
"Dear Lord Sommeret, have you thought it through? Let me explain again, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I will let you and your family go. Well, now can you tell me that the child is hidden in the Where is it?"
The Mr. Sommerette he was talking about was gagged and unable to make a sound, but shook his head to express his refusal.
Released him and his family? If so, why did they start this fire to hide it? These people are nothing more than trying to use the last hope in his heart.
"Well, what a pity!"
As soon as Valdez waved his hand, a subordinate who was instructed immediately stabbed a family member behind Sommeret with a dagger.
The person who was stabbed let out a muffled groan, and soon lost his breath.
The sound of the dagger piercing into the flesh and the muffled hum came into Sommeret's ears, his body trembled, but there was no other reaction.
"Would you like to cooperate with us now?"
Shake your head!
Another family member was killed.
"now what?"
Keep shaking your head!
…
At last there was only Lord Somerset left, trembling and weeping, and though gagged, he could still utter a whining sound.
Valdes snorted.
"Master Sommeret, I really didn't expect you to be so loyal to the Dias family. Even if it costs the lives of the whole family, you have to keep a secret, even if this secret is not particularly important to the Dias family. Alas !"
He shook his head, as if to regret the fate of the Sommerlet family.
"However, do you think this is worth it? Do you think that such a huge sacrifice is meaningful? Haha!"
"Do not!"
The tall Valdez stepped forward, grabbed Sommeret's skirt with his right hand and lifted him off the ground effortlessly.
"Your sacrifice is meaningless. Your sacrifice is nothing more than paying for nothing. Even if you keep your mouth shut, we can still know the whereabouts of that child."
There was mockery in his tone, "Even if your mouth doesn't speak, your soul will tell us the information completely."
Then he put his mouth close to Sommeret's ear, and said slowly:
"In front of magic, there are no secrets!"
magic? ! Even though he was blindfolded, Sommerlet couldn't help but stare wide.
At this time, screams came from outside the courtyard.
Valdes turned his head in dissatisfaction and asked, "What happened? Hasn't this mansion been cleaned up?"
A person walked slowly from the fire, "Some guys broke in from outside, don't worry, they have been cleaned up."
Then the man made a prayer with his hands, facing the sky and said loudly: "Father in heaven, it is a necessary evil to take the lives of these innocent people. May you forgive us sinful lambs."
Sean on the side looked at Carol provocatively, "You see! Someone is breaking in like this, so I should make the fire bigger."
Carol remained motionless and ignored him.
Seeing that he didn't provoke the other party, Sean turned to Valdes boredly and asked, "Boss, do you want me to go out and add fire?"
Valdes shook his head: "No need!"
He threw Sommerlet at the feet of the man who had just prayed to the sky, "Father, take him to Master O'Donnell."
Somerset's body rolled twice and stopped at the feet of "Father".
"Father" bowed and lifted Sommerlet up again.
"Come on, sinner."
Valdez told the rest of the crowd: "Treat the courtyard without leaving any traces."
…
In a secret basement near Sommerlet's mansion, Desen Plant watched his mentor sitting quietly in the middle of the magic circle, making the final preparations before casting the spell.
The magic circle is composed of a large number of runes that are very mysterious to outsiders. They are crooked and seem to have no rules at all. But looking at it as a whole, it seems that it can be divided into two symmetrical rectangular parts. In the middle of each rectangle there is a blank circular area surrounded by circles of dense runes.
Dessen Plant's mentor, O'Donnell, is sitting in one of the circular areas.
He sat cross-legged, put his hands on his knees, closed his eyes and breathed at an extremely slow speed, except for the ups and downs of his chest and abdomen, the rest of his body remained motionless.
Desen stared at the instructor in the magic circle, and said blankly: "Andy, this is a rare opportunity to observe. There are not many opportunities for Master Odennell to make a move in front of others. You should cherish it. Of course, if The people outside have obtained the information, so they can only wait for the next opportunity."
The person he was talking about was a young boy beside him, whose height was not as high as Desen's shoulders.
"Yes, Mr. Plant."
The boy replied, his voice had the characteristic hoarseness of the boy's voice-changing period.
He looked dignified, staring at Master Odennell intently, even though the other party was just sitting and breathing.
The two remained motionless, but the conversation continued.
"Mr. Plant."
"Um?"
"Why not hint at the intelligence target?"
"The other party is not an ordinary person but a powerful killer who has served the Dias family for decades. Even if his body is not as strong as when he was young, his willpower must be very strong. For this kind of person, it is implied that Do it when the other party is unprepared, and instruct the other party to do things that cannot arouse the other party's vigilance, but let our people immediately get acquainted with a killer who has been on high alert all the year round so that he is unprepared, and from his mouth It's next to impossible to coax a secret that he would have kept even at the cost of his life."
"Then," Andy continued to ask, "why not use brain worms to control each other!"
"It takes a long time for brain worms to erode a person's brain, and we have to complete the task tonight-before the Dias family reacts, there is no time to wait. Besides, brain worms will cause serious damage to the target's brain, Although the target was obedient, he also became insane and delirious, and it is difficult to say that the information obtained under such circumstances is somewhat authentic."
Derson Plant blinked.
"So, my mentor chose such a way"
"Soul search!"
