Max finally made it to the big shelf in the basement before Alma and Daniel could shoot.

The constant noise from the basement startled the people on the ground.

Morgan kicked open the basement door, and before Al and the others rushed into the basement, Jerry rushed in to explore the way.

The basement was full of dust, and the strong smell of blood and stench made it hard to breathe.

The mouse's eyesight is so good that it can see the situation in the basement through the dim light.

Ethan hugged another woman, and there were two people under the shelf in front of them.

Three men were trying to remove the shelves, but the sound of the basement door opening forced them to abandon the attempt.

Jerry shouted excitedly, "Ethan, we're here to save you!"

Then it heard several gunshots from above its head, and Morgan, who rushed in, had already shot at the believers standing inside.

Light shone down from the stairs, barely illuminating the blood-stained floor of the basement.

Alma and Daniel have been knocked unconscious, and when they remove the shelf, they can see a complicated pattern drawn on the ground.

And Ethan was sitting in the middle of the array, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

There are several dead bodies and terrified survivors in the basement.

Jerry ran in early, climbed onto Ethan's clothes, held his bleeding face, and kissed him hard.

Hearing the bawling sound, Ethan's body trembled, and he let out a long breath of relief as if he had suddenly woken up.

He reached out to touch Jerry, and teased in a trembling voice, "I thought Al would be the first one to kiss me."

Before he finished speaking, Al put away his pistol/gun and walked in front of him.

She didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand and hugged Ethan, who was still slumped on the ground, tightly.

Max pulled Caroline up, and the two stood beside each other with their arms folded and talked quietly.

"I saw him hugging you so tightly, I thought he wanted to fuck you." Max shrugged and said, "It was quite sudden."

"No, Max. You don't know, he just reminded me of my dad. If he was here, he would definitely hug me like this." Caroline rubbed her arms lightly and said, "His name is Ethan? Oh , he must be a good father."

"I'm so glad you said that." Max squinted at Jerry, who was sitting on Ethan's shoulder, and said with a raised brow, "Never fall in love with a man who raises mice. Eyes with a mouse head pointed at your face. After you killed it out of survival instinct, you're killing your boyfriend out of self-defense."

The murmurs of the two did not escape the ears of others. Ethan touched Jerry subconsciously, blinking his eyes and didn't know what to say.

"She saved you?" Al glanced at Max and continued to wipe the blood on Ethan's face.

Ethan nodded, and Al got up and looked at Max.

"Here it comes, my reward, your punishment." Max patted Caroline and looked at Al expectantly.

"Thank you for saving my lover. All I can say is that the coffee here is delicious." Al tilted his head and said with a smile: "The arrest warrant was just issued a few hours ago. In theory, the two It was you who caught it. I am not responsible for the rest. After all, I personally can’t afford that much money, you know.”

After she finished speaking, Caroline immediately took a deep breath.She grabbed Max's hand tightly and said excitedly: "We... we are going to get rich, Max is getting rich!"

Together with the survivors under them, they were taken away by the police later. Because they were too excited, the two screamed softly from time to time along the way.

Al looked at their backs, held Ethan's hand and said softly, "They are really lively, like people living in another world."

With the arrest of Alma and Daniel, the matter of the red goat came to an end.

The weather-beaten Ethan did not leave any serious psychological shadow because of the final ceremony, which made Al relieved.

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, but Sherlock's words before leaving were like a knife hanging over everyone's heads, preventing them from completely relaxing.

"I met the puppet master. This country is a breeding ground for crime. The good news is that the puppeteer doesn't like to stay in one country for too long. The good news is that she is now cultivating an heir."

Sherlock was ready to leave the United States at the time, and Rhett asked hesitantly, "Why did you leave?"

Sherlock didn't speak, but Watson answered for him, "We're going back to England to deal with Moriarty. He was quiet for a while, and then he popped up again."

Jerry watched them leave, pursing his lips and imitating mechanical electronic sounds.

"Ding—your teammates Sherlock Holmes and John Watson have left the team."

Even though Selena was blonde, she wasn't on Alma's list of backup sacrifices.

She is currently mostly out of danger, but her whereabouts are unknown.

Before going to prison, Daniel told all the secret things during the interrogation.

With Daniel's narration, the past of Ethan and Red Goat gradually surfaced.

Daniel and Alma once had a daughter, but she died unexpectedly when she was three years old.

As a result, Alma's spirit had some problems, and Daniel didn't last long, and the two joined the Red Goat.They originally had a ready-made sacrifice, a man who was a follower of the red goat who voluntarily sacrificed his body to the devil.

When the sacrifice was about to begin, he died in a car accident.Alma and Daniel had to find a child born at the same time as his death, to inherit his identity and become the next sacrifice.

They first bought Ethan who was still young. Alma hoped that the sacrifice the devil would get was of the highest quality. She let Ethan learn all kinds of knowledge since he was a child, and only hoped that he would become a genius.

Ethan's character is cowardly and submissive, and Alma can carve him at will.

She let him grow up bathed in blood, and separated him from society. The only variable was the old hunter who happened to meet at that time.

Even though he has paid with his life for his meddling, Ethan has become unmanageable because of it.

"We all know that you should be locked at home, but you are a child we raised with our own hands after all." Sitting in the interrogation room, Daniel said in a gentle voice: "We have poured too much effort into you. let you go."

When the date of the sacrifice was approaching, a coup d'etat broke out inside the Red Goat to divide the two factions.They are radicals who believe that only death can communicate with demons.Therefore, the last step of the sacrifice is collective suicide.

But it's not that most people can't accept this kind of ending. They want to be happy after death, and they also want to die.

They joined the conservative faction headed by the puppeteer. As a parting ceremony, the puppeteer helped the radicals collect all the sacrifices and helped them complete the ceremony.

The normal content of the ceremony is to sacrifice ten lives in front of Ethan and sprinkle the blood of the believers.After Ethan's death is the bridge between the two worlds, which can lead them to the Red Goat Demon.

According to the steps, Ethan needs to be the last to die, but the steps can be simplified when necessary.

For example, kill Ethan directly, just like Hodge and the others told Ethan.

Ethan was the focus of the ceremony, and everyone else was just a foil.

The Red Goat has changed since the puppeteer joined.It has changed from a pure cult at the beginning to a terrorist organization in the true sense.

...

But these are not within the scope of Jerry's worries. After all, he is just a little mouse, and he never needs to worry too much about things that require his brain.

On the night that Alma and Daniel were sentenced, a systematic voice sounded in Jerry's mind.

At this time, Jerry knew that it was bound to Ethan, even though it did not make much contribution in this case.But as the Red Goat case came to an end, it was also judged to have completed the task and could receive systematic rewards.

It held the potion it just got from the system, walked up to Tom staggeringly, and said triumphantly, "Come on, guess what this is."

"Did you mix the potion again?" Tom was sleeping on the sofa. The battle between Al and Ethan was so intense last night that he couldn't sleep well.

"Just guess what this thing is for." Jerry blinked, his eyelashes fluttering like a small fan.

"Isn't it those things." Tom yawned and said lazily: "Could it be possible that you can still be an adult."

Jerry nodded excitedly, pulled off the lid, raised his head and drank the potion in one gulp.

Then Tom heard a bang, and a puff of white smoke enveloped Jerry.

When the white eyes were gone, a naked boy appeared in front of him.

He sat on the ground with his legs bent, and Tom saw the place where the life was spreading at a glance.

"I don't have big ears anymore, do you think I look like a human being now?" Jerry asked with sparkling eyes, touching the top of his head.

Tom stared blankly at the scene in front of him. He looked at the handsome and cute boy in front of him, and at the medicine bottle that fell on the ground.

It even went out of its way to nudge Jerry to move his ass to see what's down there.

"What's wrong with you, Tom?" Jerry thought something was wrong with his body, but Tom suddenly drooped his tail and lay down on the ground in frustration.

Why is its mouse gone? It was so small and soft, it was still there just now, and it disappeared with a bang.

Just as Jerry was trying to stand up, Ethan's bedroom door suddenly opened.

Ethan was wearing pajama pants. He kissed Al and was about to make breakfast when he turned around and saw a naked person sitting in his living room.

For a moment, Ethan didn't know whether he should take the gun first, or find a piece of clothing for him to put on.

It was a cute-looking boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.He has bright round eyes and brown soft hair.

Al looked him up and down carefully, and finally said to Ethan with certainty: "It seems harmless at present."

Ethan nodded, and then walked over.

He winked at Tom, wanting to ask him how this man got in.But then Ethan noticed the abnormality. His eyes widened in shock, looking at the realistic cat sitting on the ground, he couldn't recognize who it was for a while.

Al came over and picked the cat up, stroked its head and said, "Poor Tom, you look terrified."

"Tom?" Ethan exclaimed in surprise.

Al was taken aback, and she subconsciously said, "Yeah, Tom, what's the matter?"

"No, something's wrong." Ethan looked at the fluffy cat with normal proportions in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "Where is Jerry?"

Tom tilted his head, pointed at Jerry who was still adjusting to his body, and said, "Look, it's there."

However, Ethan only heard a few meows.

He slowly sat on the sofa, digesting all this silently.

Only then did Tom and Jerry realize something was wrong.

Tom hesitated and said, "Why do I feel that Ethan can't understand us anymore?"

Jerry frowned and thought: "To be precise, it should be that I can't understand the conversation between cat and mouse."

Before he finished speaking, Al suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said vigilantly, "What did you mean just now?"
