Miss Planeswalker, are you free for romance?

Go downstairs and carry the person from the wheelchair into the car.

Sit in the cab.

In the heavy rain.

Facing the locked iron door, he stepped on the accelerator -!

Bang…!!

With the huge impact, the seemingly mottled and fragile iron door was actually very solid and only shook outwards.

Back up, step on the gas…

Hit.

boom.

This door firmly blocked Caroline's hope of taking the old man to escape.

"I have to find a place, it's too late..." She knew that little 'stuff' wouldn't keep Mrs. Devereux down for too long. She was just a caregiver, and she couldn't get controlled drugs that would allow someone to sleep for a whole day in such a hurry. "I have to find a place to hide you, Ben, listen to me."

Caroline pulled the handbrake and looked at the old man: "I will find someone to rescue you. It will take at most half a day. Wait for me." She dragged Ben out of the car again. The heavy rain washed away their traces. In a wooden house on the west side of the manor, Caroline hid him in a large old wooden box.

"Listen, I'll be back soon."

Caroline gently closed the lid and moved out with her back lowered.

She could already clearly hear Mrs. Devereux's roar.

There was also the sound of shotgun fire.

Bang!

"Bitch! You can't run away!"

Bang.

She has gone crazy.

Caroline made a conclusion in her mind. The mud here had not been cleaned for a long time, and it almost became a swamp after a heavy rain. She struggled to pull her feet, and with the help of branches and dense plants, she came to a wooden boat not far away.

"God... this is the craziest thing I've ever done..."

There is no way out through the iron gate, the only way out is here.

“Caroline—!”

Bang.

The gunshots were getting closer.

That's too late!

Pushing the boat, throwing the oar stuck in the mud onto the boat, after two thuds, Caroline fell and her face hit the mud. "Damn..." She didn't care to wipe it off, it was all over her anyway. She pushed the wooden boat with all her strength, and finally, there was a thud.

The boat drifted into a stream formed by heavy rain.

Mrs. Devereux seemed to see her, too.

"Caroline!"

"Stop!"

A deafening swift slide of the oars.

"Caroline! Come back!!"

Bang.

The girl, who was crying and paddling, gradually left the dangerous manor behind her amid the sound of gunfire.

Who can she rely on...

…………

……

A car stopped in front of the apartment.

Caroline didn't have time to pay attention to the driver's murderous look and knocked on the door.

dong dong.

The one who opened the door...

Luke Marshall.

She couldn't get through to her best friend, and the fear after the crisis made her want to grab everything around her that could protect herself - Marshall, Luke Marshall is a lawyer, tell him that there is something wrong with Mrs. Devereux, and then.

Call the police.

Caroline thought.

The door was opened.

"Oh my god...you fell in a puddle?!"

"She wanted to kill me."

"What? Caroline, what are you talking about..."

"She had a shotgun."

"I do not understand…"

"She knows I know."

"Caroline!" Luke found a blanket and covered Caroline with it: "Calm down."

The man stroked her cheek with his rough palm.

"Calm down, Caroline. Tell me what happened."

"Call the police, Luke. I left Ben behind, we have to go back and save him!" Caroline wiped her hair and body hastily, "Mrs. Devereux wanted to kill me, so I ran away, understand?"

Luke was stunned: "Call the police——"

The phone rang.

Mrs. Devereux called.

Luke made a silent gesture to Caroline: "We have to record this." He came to the work table and picked up the recorder: "I'll change the room."

"lady?"

"Yes...I didn't see Caroline, what happened to her?"

"Oh, me, who are you talking about?"

The conversation faded away.

The frightened girl stood up and walked around the room.

Call the police...cell phone.

Several thick books on Luke's desk caught her attention.

It seemed to have been turned over before I came here.

"Legal Encyclopedia for Beginners", "Familiarize yourself with real estate law in 30 days"...

Move the book away.

Photos one by one...

Finally killed Caroline's hope.

She is in every secretly taken photo.

It's all her.

Open the drawer.

The familiar ring, the same design she had seen in the attic, lay among a pile of animal teeth.

Silver, three-headed snake, inlaid with rubies.

"Do not…"

There were footsteps, and then a rope suddenly pulled her neck!

荷…

Luke quietly exerted his strength from behind, watching Caroline struggling and twisting under the knot like a land creature that fell into the water...

"Good night, son," he said.

The last glance was fixed on Luke's crazy and ferocious expression.

Darkness fell quickly.

It seemed to fade away quickly.

Open your eyes again...

Caroline returned to the manor.

"No...no...it's not like that..." Caroline looked at Luke who dragged her out of the car with disappointment: "You helped her do evil, and she taught you spells, is that right?"

The young lawyer said nothing.

"You shouldn't do this...Luke...please..."

Mrs. Devereux stood at the door with a shotgun in hand and a ferocious look on her face, waiting for Luke and her prey.

"I'm your sacrifice, right? You want to sacrifice me?"

Caroline was roughly brought into the main building by her hair, and she suddenly realized that after the dream-like struggle, she was back to the starting point.

It's all over.

"Where's Ben?" Mrs. Devereux pulled her hair up and raised her face, asking anxiously, "Where's my husband?"

"Your sacrifice is him? I just discovered your secret and I'm going to die, right?"

"Sacrificing a husband in exchange for her own youth?" Caroline laughed bitterly: "I won't tell you--" Suddenly, she saw a hint of red.

That was the line she had drawn with brick dust in front of her door.

"Your enemies cannot cross"

if…

A chance to survive.

Caroline suddenly changed the subject: "In the wooden house beside the garden shed."

"You'd better not lie to me."

The old woman handed the gun to Luke, glared at Caroline, pushed the door open and walked out.

As soon as the door closed, Caroline gritted her teeth and stepped back.

"Don't move!" Luke raised his gun.

"If you want to shoot, just shoot."

"I don't want this, Caroline..."

"In order to learn witchcraft, you are willing to kill and murder innocent people, right? Luke?" Caroline stepped back step by step, and gradually, she felt that she was stepping on a layer of soft stuff - the brick powder she had spread.

She kicked her legs back, grabbed the door handle, and slammed the door shut!

Luke started to chase after him, but stopped before the red line.

"Damn it, Brick Fan! Caroline! I don't want to hurt you-Caroline?!"

Outside the window, Caroline climbed high up along the water pipe.

She remembered that she could go out of the attic through the window and reach the exit on the other side - she had to go up first, and then find another way to escape. The water route, which she had tried once.

"Caroline?!"

Elsewhere, Mrs. Devereux, who had discovered her husband, finally returned to the main house.

“Caroline—!”
