After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

The scene looked like the house had eaten people, which was quite scary, but Nelson and the others didn't have time to think about it at this time, because several other knights kicked the door and broke the glass and rushed in.

I can only run upwards.

But this house itself is not very big, where can I run to?

Nelson looked towards the study at the end of the corridor.

According to previous investigations, by jumping out of the window there, one can directly reach the courtyard wall, and then climb out to escape.

"Go to the study, quickly!"

Several people rushed over and tried to break down the door.

But no matter how hard the men tried, the tattered-looking wooden door didn't budge at all.

While they were sweating profusely, another knight caught up with them and rushed towards them with his sword raised.

Then, in the horrified and surprised eyes of several people, the knight fell to the ground with a thud.

The carpet in the corridor seemed to come alive, wrapping the knight tightly, making him unable to move, and even blocking his mouth.

At this moment, the door in front of them opened. The people who were knocking on the door were caught off guard and fell directly in and hit the floor in front of the desk.

Then, it closed with a bang.

This series of operations made several people look at each other in bewilderment.

"Boss, is there something...wrong with this house?"

"Yes, and has anyone seen anyone in the house? Where are the maids? Where is the mistress?!"

"This... this place is not haunted, right?"

Nelson, already upset, slapped him.

"What the hell are you doing? Why don't you just run away now instead of talking nonsense here?!"

"Yes!"

Several people struggled to get up, and the strongest one among them rushed towards the study window.

Boom!!!

The imagined glass breaking did not occur.

After a dull thud, the strongman weighing more than 200 pounds bounced back as if he had hit a rock. His sturdy body even turned several times on the ground before stopping.

Nelson's veins popped.

Without bothering to scold his men, he picked up a chair in the room and threw it towards the window, but it just bounced back and the glass remained motionless.

Several people looked at each other, nodded, and rushed forward to try to pry open the window.

However, the window, which was clearly unlocked, seemed to be stuck to the space and did not move at all.

Behind them, in the corridor on the other side of the door, the heavy footsteps of the knights were gradually approaching.

Chapter 48 Mouse Trap

Listening to the life-threatening footsteps slowly approaching, the remaining adventurers huddled in the corner and trembled.

They didn't know what the window was; it couldn't be opened or broken. The door, the only thing that could protect their lives, was no match for those knights who could even kill monsters.

"Boss, I...what should we do!?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know what to do!?"

"How about we fight them together?"

"Fight your grandma's legs! What can we use to fight them? Do we have the capital?!"

Nelson was completely numb.

The poison smoke bombs had just been thrown out, and the remaining weapons could not even break the opponent's defense.

There are still things like smoke, but if they can't open the window, the other party just needs to block the door, and they won't be able to escape no matter what.

It's doomed, the car is going to fail.

He even closed his eyes in despair.

The footsteps soon stopped at the door, and then there was a brief silence.

Then, from the other side of the door, a little further away, came a shout:

"We found them, she's hiding here!"

"Alright, act now! Anyone who opposes the goddess will be killed without mercy!"

"Go to hell!"

"No, don't—let me go—"

There were chaotic footsteps, the clash of weapons, and then all kinds of incomprehensible noises, as if something was rustling around, mixed in with the quarrels and screams of many men and women.

It sounded creepy, and it made the adventurers who had no idea what was happening outside even more frightened.

Soon, in less than a minute, the noise outside fell silent.

Even the locked door creaked open a crack.

At this point, Nelson had to admit that this house was indeed a bit weird.

He patted the younger brother beside him.

"Hey, you, go check out the situation."

My already bad face turned even paler in an instant, and I quickly shook my head.

"No, no, no... Boss, I'm a coward and I easily pee my pants. You're so powerful, why don't you go?"

"Just go when I tell you to. Why all that bullshit? If you don't go, I'll kill you!"

Nelson, in a bad mood, grabbed the man's collar and kicked him away.

The younger brother's expression was distorted, and his facial features were almost curled together, but he had no choice but to reach out his trembling hand towards the half-open door.

There was a soft sound and the door opened.

The corridor outside was dark, but empty.

The knights and any trace of their existence have disappeared without a trace.

Even the furnishings in the corridor were as tidy as before, and the noises I just heard seemed fake.

The younger brother looked back at Nelson at a loss, but how could Nelson know what was going on?

"Boss...what should we do?"

Nelson swallowed hard.

This is problematic no matter how you think about it.

But what choice did he have now? If he didn't run away, would he just stay here and wait for death?

Run, hurry up!

“Let’s go, quick!!!”

A few of them gathered themselves together, stood up and wanted to escape.

But just as he walked out of the room, he heard a slight noise behind him, and Nelson turned his head nervously.

"……cat?"

The black cat squatted on the table in the study like a sculpture, motionless, just staring at them.

Was there this cat in the room just now?

Nelson didn't have time to think about it, so he turned around and continued running.

The few of them walked through the corridor and came to the living room. Everything went surprisingly smoothly without encountering any obstacles. They soon arrived at the door of the room.

Nelson reached for the door handle impatiently.

"Ah-"

A very slight sneeze came from a very close distance. Nelson stopped and looked in that direction.

It's a cabinet, quite big, big enough to hide a person.

Nelson immediately became alert and winked at the remaining men, who then rushed forward and pulled the cabinet door open.

"You...what do you want to do!?"

Inside the closet was a woman with purple hair and wearing an evening gown. She looked very flustered and was looking at the people outside with a bewildered look.

It was very beautiful, so beautiful that Nelson was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this the owner of the house we targeted last night and tonight!?

I didn't expect it to be delivered to me like this!

Nelson, who was very proud, waved his hand, and his men immediately pounced on her like wolves and tigers, grabbed the woman and dragged her out.

"Don't touch me—don't touch me—please, just take what you want, but don't hurt me—don't—"

The woman struggled desperately and begged, but Nelson, who had been unhappy all night, would certainly not show mercy.

He slapped her directly in the face.

"What are you arguing about? Just follow us and we'll make sure you're alright. If you don't behave, hehe, we'll have to have some fun with you, my brothers~"

Several adventurers had filthy smiles on their faces. They quickly tied her up, gagged her, and gave her an injection of anesthetic.

The woman struggled for a few times, then her eyes rolled back and she lost consciousness.

Nelson also breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, even if they managed to escape, they would probably die if they failed to complete their goal.

I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected turn of events.

Maybe I have good luck because I do a lot of good things on a daily basis.

It must be.

Watching his men carry the hostess, he nodded with satisfaction:

"Successful, retreat——"

"Haha, I'm afraid it's not that easy."

A female voice came from above. Several people looked up and found another purple-haired girl standing on the second floor, leaning against the railing and looking at them with a mocking smile on her face.

The cat just now was now leaning obediently at her feet.

They looked up, then down, and discovered that the woman above looked exactly like the one being tied up in their hands!

Could they be twins?!

But... I've never seen anything like this after so many days of observation?

Nelson didn't have time to think, because the woman upstairs raised her hand with a smile.

"According to my temper, I should cut you all into pieces and curse you until your souls are completely dissipated. But my dear still has something to ask you, so please stay for a while~"

With a light snap of the fingers, the "woman" who was tied up by several people suddenly lost her original appearance and turned from a human into a clay doll without any facial features.

Before they could even be shocked, the clay doll exploded. The flying fragments hit them, and immediately expanded as if they had life, and then solidified.

In a flash, the parts below their heads were completely sealed in the rock-hard mud, making them unable to move. Their mouths were stuffed so tightly that they couldn't even make a sound.

"Done~"

After finishing her work, Violet sighed and looked out the window:

"His wife was almost kidnapped and killed. What is Aize doing? Why hasn't he come back in such a long time?"

A vicious kidnapping occurred in the most prosperous area of Tafia. This incident made Sheen, the lord, furious and he personally led people to the scene to investigate.
