[Comprehensive] Aunt sweeping the floor

When Catherine woke up, she found herself tied to the operating table.The only part of her body that can move is her eyes.

It was probably in the morning that Catherine 'kidnapped' Mr. Edward's relationship, and now this kind of thing has returned to her.

Portraits of the Simpsons are painted on the outside walls of the Simpson Clinic—cartoon patterns in bright colors that look a bit like a veterinary hospital.

But the interior decoration of the clinic is completely different—concrete walls and floors, the state of the completely rough room, years of disrepair and the faded dark red blood stains on the walls, it is not difficult to make a haunted house.

Catherine guessed that she was tied here probably because of some misunderstanding, but she did not rule out the possibility of Simpson's mutiny.

Catherine loosened her wrist, ready to use magic to loosen the rope that bound her.Just at this time, the door of the room was opened, and someone strode into the room.So, Catherine stopped what she was doing, pretending to be shocked and angry after being kidnapped.

"What are you doing to mine? I just want my pet back!" Catherine tried to turn her head, but Simpson's immobilization didn't give Catherine much range of motion.

"Come on. You are clearly a supernatural person. Tell me the exact reason why you came this time, otherwise I may use some means against you to avenge my dead companion."

Catherine couldn't see Simpson's appearance at the moment, but she could probably guess Simpson's ugly face.What surprised her was that the two people who died in the Cowardly Club should have nothing to do with Simpson.After all, their abilities are too different, so they probably didn't have much affection during their lifetime.

"Your companion? Someone from the coward's club? I think there is some misunderstanding here." Catherine said dryly, "You untie it for me first, it's not very comfortable for me to be tied up like this."

"Untie? Unless you say your master's name. I want to see who is eyeing our club. Your people have killed six club members. You think I will be the seventh one? On the contrary, I think you are the seventh dead."

Catherine's eyes widened in shock at Simpson's words.

Catherine has always been very protective of William's secrets. Generally, Catherine will not find someone to find information about things that William doesn't tell her.On the contrary, in any case, Catherine will do her best to ensure the safety of the Coward's Club.

William clearly told her that two people had died in the club, and asked her to investigate the scene.But now Catherine knew from others that six people died in the club.

What happened to the extra four?

William deliberately concealed the number of people, what's the point for him?

——The only explanation is that William does not trust Catherine.He hopes to borrow Catherine's ability, but he is stingy in telling Catherine the whole truth.

Inexplicably replaced dead bodies, four extra dead, and Simpson's strange attitude towards people with supernatural powers.

Catherine regretted that she had protected William's wife too much in the past, so she had no clue about the current situation.Maybe after today...she should pay more attention to William's situation, find out what William is doing, what he wants to do...and what he has done in the past.

Simpson would not have any mercy because of Catherine's silence.If Catherine was an animal, everything might be different-for Dr. Simpson, living people are far less cute than animals.

The veterinarian was ready to inflict a little pain on Catherine, to get the information he wanted one at a time.

— This is Simpson's forte.He can inflict pain on people, or relieve pain.This kind of ability requires a certain amount of preparation time, and it is a bit tasteless on the battlefield.Simpson usually applies powers in reverse to animals, that is, to reduce pain.

Catherine experienced the magical powers of a veterinarian when she was a child.That time she fell and her knee was bleeding.Simpson relieved her pain, you can see the blood still coming out, but you don't feel any pain.But this time, Simpson is probably going to increase the pain.

Catherine didn't want to make trouble for herself.She used a little trick she learned from Snape to let the rope around her hands loose silently and invisible.

—— Simpson saw Catherine suddenly break free from the restraints, took a half step back in surprise, and then wanted to rush forward.

"Wait!" Catherine stopped this meaningless internal loss loudly, and she said quickly: "Simpson counts, maybe you still remember William's adopted daughter Catherine. Although my self-introduction is a bit late, but that It's also because I didn't expect you to fail to recognize me." We belong to the same country, and you shouldn't treat me like this.

Simpson obviously thought of something, but he still looked at Catherine warily, raised his bearded chin, and said from a distance, "Prove it to me!"

"I know your powers. I know the Coward's Club. I saw you when I was a kid. You showed me your powers. I thought that was enough."

Catherine got off the operating table while talking.She rubbed her red wrist, and found that the place she was lying on was not really an operating table—this place looked like a clinic's kitchen, and she was drunk just thinking about it!

"Can you tell William's full name?" Simpson's suspicion faded a little, but he still didn't fully believe Catherine: "Or tell me your ability."

Catherine glanced at him and relaxed a little.Her wand was still on, so she could at least keep herself safe. "I'm a wizard. I don't have any special powers. And I don't know William's full name, which is a pity."

Simpson's expression relaxed a little, and Catherine's answer made him very satisfied. "That's right, few people know William's name, and that's how William introduced you."

After listening to the veterinarian's words, Catherine's heart calmed down quietly.

Only a few people know William's full name, and Catherine doesn't know... She probably has to thank William for not telling others about her ability, making it a secret between her and William.

What about the relationship over the years? ...By the way, she and William didn't live together a lot of time. Most of the time, Catherine took care of herself, and in difficult times, she fantasized that her adoptive father was also worried about herself...But It's just self-indulgence.

Is there anything more tragic in this world than self-love?Catherine had a dream of having loved ones, and this dream lasted for 13 years.The illusory thing was finally punctured today, but Catherine found that she was not so sad.

Catherine pulled herself together.Get information from Simpson.She soon knew what William was hiding from her—since half a year ago, the Cowardly Club was dying at the rate of one person a month...William had never worked in a candy company before.he···

Catherine and Simpson sat in the kitchen, until Simpson stood up suddenly and said, "Ah! Your two sweethearts. They're called Black Bread and White Bread. They're a little worried about you!"

The veterinarian asked Catherine to wait for a while, and walked out of the kitchen to free the two cats that had been locked in the cat's litter because of the previous hair blowing.

Catherine waited for a while, took out her phone and played with it for a while.

After about 5 minutes, Catherine wondered why Simpson hadn't come back.

Probably met a patient?

No, Simpson is a very attentive person, and he is not likely to be interrupted by another person until he is doing one thing well.

Thinking of this, Catherine's heart suddenly jumped.She felt like she was missing something.Catherine quietly held the wand in her hand and turned the handle of the kitchen door.

After all these years, Catherine is no longer a child.She and Simpson hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they couldn't say they were familiar with each other.It might not be a good idea to just walk out like this.

But Catherine still believed in her intuition, she felt that something was wrong... The whole clinic was unexpectedly silent, and from the moment she walked out of the room, Catherine felt that she was under the surveillance of something.

The sticky and cold gaze that stayed on Catherine's body was not an electronic technology such as a camera... It was more like someone standing quietly beside Catherine.

Catherine pretended not to notice and walked forward.When she came to a position near the door, Catherine suddenly turned her head, followed her instinct, and made a sharp attack on a corner without a shadow.

But the attack fell through.The invisible blade hit Simpson's old furniture, and the dirty sofa in the reception room was broken, exposing the yellow sponge.

The feeling of surveillance is still there, but this time it has been restrained a lot.Catherine didn't look at the damaged sofa much, she confirmed that there was another person in the room.

Although there is no sound of breathing, the line of sight is always there.Catherine added an armor to protect herself, and that gaze did not have killing intent, Catherine just felt uncomfortable being stared at.

At first, Catherine thought the invisible guy was Simpson's friend.She searched almost all the rooms in the clinic... and finally stood at the door of the storage room.

Yes, the door to the storage room.Catherine thought it unnecessary to open the locker door.

The blood flowing from the crack of the door said it all.As a non-combatant, Catherine didn't think it was necessary for her to open the door.

She just put her hand on the doorknob, and saw that the door was opened by an invisible person, and the corpse was dragged in. Catherine was lucky to see behind the door... Simpson died with regret.

There was a sharp knife stuck in his body.The blade is sharp and the cold light is shining.Simpson was stabbed from the front. He struggled for a while, leaving at least a little mark on the murderer. The first stab was not fatal, but the murderer was invisible.

Catherine couldn't see the murder, but she could imagine that in this corridor, Simpson was attacked by an invisible enemy.Things happened very quickly, just like a bullfight, the bull's body was wounded by javelins.

Simpson's ability can divert the pain, which made him persist for several minutes, and the battle ended about half a minute ago.

He lost blood for 3 minutes, fought fiercely, and finally pierced his heart with a knife.The method is clean and neat, the murderer is a supernatural person, not a wizard, and it is not the first time to kill someone.

Catherine made a lot of judgments in an instant, but on the surface, she just turned the doorknob with trembling hands, and then gave up this horrible decision.

While thinking, Catherine's attention was always on her side. She didn't ignore the enemy in the dark because the other party had no killing intent. On the contrary, the hidden power of the other party was dreadful.

Another 30 seconds passed, and Catherine only felt a blur in front of her eyes.It may be that the opponent's ability has a time limit, or Catherine's concentration has played a role. Catherine, who stopped at the door, faintly saw a gray trouser leg.

Catherine narrowed her eyes, and a secret smile formed on the corners of her mouth.
