"Why did you have that dream, Father?" the nun asked again.

"What?" The man was completely sleepy.

"Why did you do that?" the nun asked again, her voice almost begging. "Don't you know that's food for 'it'?"

The man suddenly felt cold all over.He looked behind the nun, who cast a tall shadow on the wall.

That's not a human shadow.

"You shouldn't have that dream...you shouldn't..." The nun's voice became hoarse, and there was even a hint of crying.

Adrenaline rushes through the man's whole body, and the animal instinct to flee for his life stirs every part of his body.

But he couldn't move—his mind betrayed him.He recalled the nightmare just now.

He slumped in place, all he could do was watch as something that he thought only existed in a bedside story appeared before his eyes.

a monster.Really monster.

"God..." The man closed his eyes and prayed in despair, his mind was in chaos.

However, the monster did not harm him.

When he slowly opened his eyes, there was nothing in the room.

He was panting heavily, and his body was shaking non-stop.

Just when he thought everything was over, the door was pushed open again.

It's Sister Abel.

"What's the matter with you, Father? I heard you shouting just now."

The nun's appearance completely crushed the man's fragile nerves.

He suddenly remembered that he hid a silver sword used to judge devils beside his bed...

Chapter 43 Let's Sleep Together!

When Kashina and the others arrived at the cathedral, the vicinity was already full of people.

There was a terrible smell of blood in the air, and the voices of the townspeople were mixed with crying and howling, which completely broke the silence of the night.

"Oops……"

Kashina hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, and as expected, she saw several unrecognizable corpses.

Two men and two women had more than a dozen cuts on their bodies with sharp weapons, and it was difficult to find a piece of complete skin from head to toe.

Those robes of believers symbolizing love and redemption were stained red with blood, mixed among the broken internal organs and rotting flesh.

"Don't come here, Lacus." Kashina frowned, and turned her head to shout to her companion, "I suddenly feel a little...thirsty, please go get me something to drink first, please."

"Ah..." Lux made a reluctant voice, but she still went to look for water honestly.

Mubai was not "protected" by Kashina, and squeezed directly into the middle of the crowd.

He has seen a lot of corpses, and he has seen many more horrifying ones, so he doesn't have any physiological reactions such as nausea and nausea.

He looked at the four corpses carefully, and then walked along the place where the crying sound came from, and soon saw the suspect in this murder case.

A... priest.

The priest was already under the control of the townspeople, and his murder weapon—a long silver sword fell at their feet.

Beside them, there was an old woman kneeling on the ground and crying loudly, cursing the murderer indistinctly.

And that priest lowered his head, no regrets could be seen in his lifeless eyes, but instead revealed a kind of... Regret?He seemed to be regretting something...

For example... It's a pity that I didn't kill more people...?

"The situation is a little out of control..." Kashina also came over, and rarely took the initiative to talk, "Or, we are late."

"It seems so." Mu Bai nodded.

Their original plan tonight was to come to the church to search for the whereabouts of the black mage—as early as two days ago, Lux had noticed a trace of magic left here.

In order not to startle the enemy, they waited for two days and chose to come back on the night of prayer in the church, but in the end...

Kashina sighed, walked towards the townspeople who grabbed the priest, and asked, "Is it the same as before?"

"Yes..." one of them replied with a trembling voice, "the priest woke up in the middle of the night... went crazy... he hacked to death the nuns and workers in the church with a silver sword..."

"reason?"

"He said the dead were devils... that he saw darkness in their shadows..."

"Shadow? Darkness?"

"Hmm...we don't know what that means either..."

Kashina nodded thoughtfully.Although she didn't understand these words, they were very familiar - the murderers of the previous murders also said similar things.

Just when she was about to ask for more details, the priest suddenly yelled:

"You don't understand! They are all monsters! I see their true colors! Darkness, only darkness!"

"They are the darkness in human skin, they have been hiding among us! I woke up and saw their true colors!"

"Must kill them! Darkness... Darkness is coming!"

"Shut up!" The elder brother of the deceased roared angrily and swung his fist, directly hitting the priest until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and even several teeth fell out.This forced him to calm down.

Kashina looked back at Lacus, who was about to run back, and waved her hands, "You should detain this person first. Remember, there is a 24-hour guard. As for the dead... the spirits of the ancestors will give them rest."

"Yes, sir." The townspeople knew Kashina's identity, and they all followed her orders at this time.

When Lacus came back with the water glass, both the deceased and the prisoner had been transferred to other places, and there were only a few puddles of blood left on the floor that were too late to scrub.

Kashina took the water glass and took a symbolic sip, "How about it, did you sense the trace left by the black mage?"

"If you didn't send me away just now, maybe I can sense more." Lux was a little unhappy, "I'm not a child anymore."

"But you are not considered an adult." Kashina shrugged.

"Hmph... I can feel it a little bit."

"Is there a way to locate the other party?"

"It's a bit difficult, but I think I can try it." Lux looked towards the church, "The remaining... breath is more obvious."

"Okay, let's go inside and have a look."

After finishing speaking, Kashina led Lacus directly into the church, and no one stopped her.

Following the residual black magic breath in the air, Lux searched all the way, and finally stopped in front of a blood-stained room.

This is the resting place of the priest and the scene of the first crime.

Kashina held the long sword in her hand and carefully observed the surrounding environment, in case something sprang out of the darkness.

"Was that bloody black mage here?" she asked.

"If there is a black magician." Lux said, "To be honest, I'm actually more inclined to be caused by a certain demon... just like the horror legend of Forsbarrow once."

"You are here again, my eldest lady."

"I'm serious, why can't you trust me just once?" Lux puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay." Kashina still dismissed the other party in a coaxing tone.

Lux stood aside angrily, and then talked to Mu Bai while Kashina was checking the room: "Mr. Mu Bai, what do you think?"

"From my experience...you should be right."

Mu Bai quietly released a little demon power, sensing the evil breath in the air with his extraordinary perception ability.

He suddenly felt familiar.

If nothing else, the culprit of all this is what I guessed before.

"Let me just say it!" Lux was very happy after being recognized by her companion, "Then where do you think we should start to investigate?"

"Dreams." Mu Bai said without thinking, "That demon is used to hiding in people's dreams, so the previous murders all happened in the middle of the night."

"Dream? How to investigate this?"

"Just sleep."

"Eh?"

"It's provoking us." Mubai stared at the dark marks on the wall, and said with a smile, "Or, it's staring at us."

Hearing that, Lacus was a little nervous, but more of admiration.

As expected of a demon hunter, he saw through the problem at once!

"That's really ideal." Compared with Lux's unconditional trust, Kashina seemed more suspicious. "Do you have any evidence? How do you prove that this is not the work of black magic, but some kind of demon?"

"True knowledge comes from practice."

Mu Bai was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party, so he choked directly:

"Of course, if you have a better way, I will do as you say."

"..." Kashina raised her eyebrows displeased.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Lacus quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Well... Sister Kashina, anyway, we don't have any clues now, why don't we try what Mr. Mubai said?"

"I want to try you guys, I'm not in the mood to sleep right now." Kashina rolled her eyes and continued to investigate possible clues in the room.

Mu Bai didn't bother to pay attention to her, and sat down directly against the wall, then closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Nocturne, I am Tom Reiner!

Chapter 44 The Maiden in the Darkness

Mu Bai really fell asleep in such a stately manner.From sitting down to falling asleep, it only took 5 minutes at most.

"He has a big heart. In case of any danger later, I don't have time to wake him up." Kashina sarcastically mercilessly, but her voice was obviously much lower.

"Haha..." Lux laughed awkwardly, "Being able to fall asleep in a short time is also an extraordinary ability...probably."

"My eldest lady, you have only known him for a long time, so you should speak for him everywhere."

"I'm telling the truth..."

"Okay, okay, you have the final say." Kashina said helplessly, "Then do you want to sleep with me?"

"Well... if I said I wanted to try... would you be offended?"

"..."

"Sister Kashina...?"

"Although I really don't want you to do this, but..." Kashina sighed, "Can anyone change what you have decided?"

Lux rubbed her face in embarrassment.

"Go to sleep, I'll watch for you." Kashina said, "But don't sleep for too long, after all, this is not a hotel."

How dare you sleep here even before the blood on the ground is dry... Hey, it's crazy.

I just hope that shit demon hunter really has two brushes.

"Sister Kashina is the best~" Lacus acted coquettishly against the other party's disgusted expression, and then sat down directly next to Mubai.

To be honest, a rich lady like her has very high requirements for the sleeping environment, it is impossible to fall asleep in a few minutes like Mubai, not to mention the air here is full of disgusting bloody smell.

But in order to prove herself to everyone, she has to fall asleep, and then go to the dream for a while to see the damn demon.

One sheep, two sheep... 56 sheep...

350 nine sheep... 480 two sheep...

660 six sheep—

During the process of counting sheep, Lux didn't feel sleepy at all, but when she counted the 666th sheep, she suddenly felt that her consciousness was "sinking" rapidly.

It was an irresistible urge to sleep.

"Lax?"

But just when she was about to lose consciousness, Kashina's voice suddenly rang in her ears, pulling her back from sleep abruptly.
