Gu Xingmian went up to the second floor with a fearless attitude. The second floor was much quieter than the first floor, and there were small private rooms. Catherine leaned against the door of the innermost private room, smiled at him, and then walked in.

Gu Xingmian clenched the sweat in his palms, glanced around lightly, and didn't know where Xiao Qiong and the others were hiding.

But his eyes were almost cramped from looking around, and he didn't see their figures. In the end, he could only grit his teeth, make up his mind, and walk in.

As soon as he entered, the private room door closed automatically.

Gu Xingmian's heart tightened.

The private room was not big. On one side was a wine cabinet and a bar, and on the other side was a red velvet sofa and a small retro coffee table. The light was dim and ambiguous, and a sweet aroma floated in the air.

Gu Xingmian had smelled this aroma on Catherine before, but it was a light sweet fragrance at that time, and it smelled quite good.

But the aroma in the room seemed to be several hundred times stronger and a little pungent.

Catherine walked towards him gracefully with two glasses of wine. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Xingmian couldn't help but sneeze.

Catherine: "..."

Gu Xingmian rubbed his nose: "Oh, sorry, the fragrance in the room is too strong, I can't stand it."

Catherine smiled again: "It's okay, we..."

Gu Xingmian: "Sorry, sorry, my snot seems to have sprayed into the wine, let's change two glasses."

Catherine: "..."

Gu Xingmian poured out the two glasses of wine, and then quickly opened the curtains and opened the window.

The cold wind blew in, blowing away the ambiguous atmosphere.

Gu Xingmian asked Catherine considerately: "How is it? Are you feeling better now?"

Catherine's mouth froze, and she almost gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, I feel much more comfortable!"

Gu Xingmian also said earnestly: "Your face is so pale, your Qi and blood are not good. You should get more sun and eat more blood-enriching foods..."

Catherine didn't know why she became like this. In order to shut Gu Xingmian's mouth, she simply fell on him, put her fingers on his chest, raised her eyes, and said pitifully: "Little brother..."

Gu Xingmian quickly helped her up and He got up, still mumbling: "I told you to get more sun. You got osteomalacia at such a young age. What will happen when you get old..."

Then he carefully pinched her two fingers and moved them away: "This dress is expensive. You have to return it if you rent it."

Catherine: "!!!"

She had never met such a stubborn person in her life. She was almost crying with anger: "Brother!" As soon as

she finished speaking, Anthony walked out from the darkness, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Sister, this guy did it on purpose. Don't waste your words on him!"

As he appeared, the sweet fragrance in the air became stronger.

Gu Xingmian realized that the fragrance was actually emitted from his body.

Anthony said, and shot the auxiliary card in his hand towards Gu Xingmian. The auxiliary card turned into a green short spear like a venomous snake in mid-air.

Just before the short spear was about to pierce Gu Xingmian, it was hit by a dagger and fell to the ground with a "ding-dong" sound. Then

a snowy owl appeared with a cry and cast a frost spell at Anthony.

Anthony was prepared and jumped away quickly. However, when he was in mid-air, he suddenly felt a palpitation: "Andy!"

An orchid mantis appeared in mid-air. His figure was half a person's height, and his body was crystal clear pink, as beautiful as crystal. After his appearance, the already rich fragrance became even sweeter and suffocating.

He raised his sharp forelimbs to block Xiao Qiong's attack, and attacked him fiercely.

The two exchanged more than ten moves in an instant. The orchid mantis looks beautiful and fragile, but in fact its body is very hard. Its saw-like forelimbs are flat like petals, which can be used as both a weapon and a shield.

Gu Xingmian took this opportunity to trot to the safe area beside Burke.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiong made a feint and then lightly returned to Gu Xingmian.

On the other side, Anthony also blocked in front of Catherine, who leaned on him weakly and cried softly.

The two sides confronted each other, and it was about to break out.

Anthony suddenly said, "Did the Wilman family send you here?"

The three of them: "?"

Anthony said irritably, "They really don't give up. The people have been dead for so many years... Forget it, how much did they give you?"

Gu Xingmian guessed that he probably recognized the wrong person, but he couldn't help but say one more thing: "What? Are you going to give double?"

Anthony choked and snorted coldly, "If you want double, it depends on whether you are worth it?"

As he said this, he suddenly took a step back and stepped hard on the floor tiles under his feet. Suddenly, countless holes appeared on the walls on both sides, and countless small arrows pierced the three people.

Gu Xingmian and Burke only stared at the auxiliary card in his hand, but they didn't expect that it was just a cover, and there was actually a mechanism in this room.

But Xiao Qiong had already thrown out several auxiliary cards, which turned into shields to block the arrows.

However, Anthony had taken the opportunity to jump out of the window holding Catherine.

Xiao Qiong and others followed.

There was a small alley next to the tavern, and Anthony's suspension car was parked at the entrance of the alley. If they got on the suspension car, it would be difficult to catch up with them.

Moreover, with their caution, they would definitely hide after such a thing happened, and it would not be easy to find them in a short time.

Gu Xingmian asked Xiao Qiong not to worry about them and to chase people first.

Anthony did not care about his mental strength and used auxiliary cards to run away madly.

However, when he was only a few meters away from the suspension vehicle, a thin steel rope suddenly appeared in front of him. If he hadn't stopped in time, the steel rope would have cut him and Catherine off at the waist.

Anthony was still in shock, but an attack was approaching him silently.

The orchid mantis appeared again in time to block it for him.

Xiao Qiong leaned back to avoid the attack of the orchid mantis, and then swept his long legs, but it swept accurately to his vulnerable foot joints.

The leg bone collided with the hard shell of the orchid mantis, making a loud noise.

The orchid mantis' body shook.

Xiao Qiong's expression did not change, and three auxiliary cards appeared in his palm instantly.

Then, a ball of fire exploded in front of the orchid mantis, and at the same time, two short knives crossed and cut off the tentacles on the top of the orchid mantis's head.

The orchid mantis let out a huge scream.

Anthony's face changed, but Xiao Qiong had already jumped over the orchid mantis and attacked him.

Anthony pushed Catherine aside, took the orchid mantis back into its spiritual body, and barely fought a few moves with Xiao Qiong, and then turned around and ran away.

Xiao Qiong narrowed his eyes. He originally wanted to deal with Catherine before chasing Anthony. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Catherine had already run to another alley with her skirt lifted up.

Although she was wearing high heels, she ran quite fast. If Xiao Qiong chased her, Anthony could take advantage of this opportunity to run onto the suspension car and escape.

Coincidentally, Burke and Gu Xingmian also ran over at this time.

Almost in just one glance, Burke and Gu Xingmian understood each other's intentions. Burke and Gu Xingmian turned around to chase Catherine.

At this time, Anthony's fingers had already touched the door of the suspension car, but at the critical moment, the annoying steel rope appeared again.

Anthony's pupils shrank slightly. Fortunately, he withdrew his hand quickly, otherwise his entire palm would have been cut off.

He immediately abandoned the suspension car, turned around and ran away.

Xiao Qiong was a little surprised that he gave up so decisively, but he still chased after him.

On the other side,

Burke and Gu Xingmian also quickly caught up with Catherine.

Catherine was panicked, her foot twisted, and she fell directly to the ground. Looking at Burke and Gu Xingmian who were gradually approaching, she trembled and tears fell like beads from a broken string: "Please, let me go, I was forced..."

Burke and Gu Xingmian looked at each other.

Seeing their hesitation, Catherine's expression became more pitiful.

"You have also seen that my brother can abandon me at any time. I am just a tool in his hands. If I don't obey, he will beat me..."

I felt pity for her when she cried. She rolled up her sleeves to show them the scars on her arms.

Those scars were new or old, some were caused by whips, and there were even burns and cuts. With her face, she was indeed pitiful.

Gu Xingmian was a little hesitant, but he thought of what Deritis kept emphasizing, not to be soft-hearted.

He had seen the cruelty of Quilmo City in the past few days. Was she really as pitiful as she said to be able to survive in this place?

At this time, Burke took a step towards Catherine.

Gu Xingmian was shocked: "Burke!"

Catherine thought Burke was moved by her words, so she looked up and leaned softly against his calf: "Sir, are you willing to help me?"

Burke paused: "You are very pitiful..."

Catherine's eyes flashed with joy, but she froze after hearing the next sentence.

Burke said honestly: "But the idol wants to kill you, I will listen to him."

As he said, he took out an auxiliary card and aimed it at Catherine.

Catherine: "!!!"

Catherine's expression was distorted, and two auxiliary cards appeared in her hand. One turned into a shield to block Burke's attack, and the other turned into a poison needle and stabbed Burke.

Burke didn't expect that she was also a card master. He was caught off guard for a moment, and it was too late to use the auxiliary card again.

Moreover, the distance was too close, and he had almost no chance to dodge.

He saw Catherine's mocking smile in his eyes, and the tip of the poison needle was about to pierce the aorta in his neck.

Just as he was preparing to face death, he did not feel the expected pain, but watched the poison needle turn and pierce Catherine.

Burke: "!!!"

What a ray of hope!

What a desperate situation!

Unfortunately, although this move was very unexpected, it did not hurt Catherine.

When the poison needle was about to pierce her, a scorpion appeared out of nowhere and blocked it for her.

Burke thought this was Catherine's God Card, and was about to attack, when he suddenly heard Gu Xingmian shouting, "Be careful!"

Burke ducked subconsciously, and then felt something brushing against his scalp.

He rolled on the ground and returned to Gu Xingmian's side.

He looked in the direction of the attack in panic, and saw a man holding a supplementary card slowly walking out.

"He... who is this..."

Burke and Gu Xingmian both widened their eyes at the same time.

Because although the man in front of them looked a little different, his dress and figure were very similar to Anthony.

He walked to Catherine, helped her up, and gently wiped the stain off her skirt.

Catherine put her scraped palm in front of him and said coquettishly: "Brother, it's all your fault that you came late and caused me to be bullied."

The man kissed her palm distressedly: "I'm sorry, baby, I won't do it again next time."

Burke was stunned and asked Gu Xingmian: "She...her brother didn't, didn't he run away?"

Gu Xingmian frowned.

He didn't see this man before, but he smelled the sudden strong sweet fragrance in the air, which was exactly the same as Anthony's before, so he warned Burke.

He asked Burke: "Do you smell the fragrance?"

"Ah?" Burke shook his head blankly, "No."

In other words, he was the only one who smelled the fragrance.

No, that's not right!

Gu Xingmian's back suddenly felt cold. He pulled Burke to the side and saw that the place where they were standing had turned into a piece of quicksand.

Burke was puzzled: "When did they use the auxiliary cards!"

You know, although the auxiliary cards of spells are powerful, they are very slow to release. The more powerful the spell, the slower it is. For such a large piece of quicksand, it would take at least one or two minutes. But during this one or two minutes, neither Catherine nor the man used auxiliary cards.

If it is a God Card, it can be cast instantly, but isn't their God Card the scorpion? Normally, a God Card can only use a single type of spell. The scorpion's blue tail stinger has already proved that he uses poison, so it is naturally impossible for him to use earth-based spells. Unless

... there is another person!

Gu Xingmian suddenly raised his head and looked up.

On the roof of the house next to the alley, there was a man and a giant centipede standing.

The man put his hands in his pockets and jumped down from the roof.

Burke was shocked to find that he was dressed the same as Anthony.

"What the hell!!"

Gu Xingmian moved his nose, yes, it was the same smell.

He said, the man had obviously gone to Catherine's side, why was the fragrance on his side still so strong, there must be another one.

Anthony No. 3 stood on the other side of Catherine and began to ask her about her well-being.

Catherine's pale cheeks gradually regained their previous rose-like tenderness.

Anthony No. 3 obviously couldn't compete with No. 2, and in anger he looked at Burke and the others: "Sister, they are the ones who bullied you, right? Brother will help you vent your anger."

Catherine tilted her head and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, brother, but don't kill them."

Anthony No. 3 immediately got excited and let the centipede attack Gu Xingmian and the others.

The centipede's huge body was very agile, and it was close to them in just a moment.

Burke was about to fight back with the auxiliary card in his hand, but was stopped by Gu Xingmian. He could feel that the centipede had no intention of killing him. Sure enough, when it got close to him, it stopped, and began to dance with its fifteen pairs of legs swaying.

Gu Xingmian: "..."

Although he could understand the centipede's feelings, this dance was really a bit scary.

Anthony No. 3 was dumbfounded.

Anthony No. 2 gave him a mocking look and asked Scorpion to attack.

Then, Scorpion also joined the dancing party.

Anthony No. 2 and No. 3: "..."

The smile on Catherine's face disappeared: "What's going on?"

Anthony No. 2 immediately said: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely teach them a lesson for you!"

Anthony No. 3 was not to be outdone: "I said I would help you vent your anger!"

As they said that, the two of them directly discarded the God Card and rushed over with the auxiliary card.

The strength of these two people is much stronger than Burke and Gu Xingmian, but because Catherine asked not to kill them, the two did not kill them, but it was not much better.

In order to show off in front of Catherine, the two did not give in at all.

For example, if No. 2 gave them a wound, then No. 3 must give them two.

Gu Xingmian and Burke were about to vomit blood.

Are you kidding me! Can you kill or behead them? Do you think we are just a raft for jealousy?

Catherine stood by and watched with a smile, but suddenly her face changed: "Catch them!"

No. 2 and No. 3 then sped up and tied up Burke and Gu Xingmian separately.

Catherine looked at them with an extremely ugly face: "You actually killed my brother!"

Gu Xingmian was stunned, but soon reacted. She should be talking about Anthony No. 1 who escaped before. It seems that he escaped on purpose. But

Xiao Qiong killed the man, so he should be back soon.

Gu Xingmian suddenly felt relieved.

Catherine sneered: "Waiting for him to come back and save you?"

She walked up to Gu Xingmian and lifted his chin with her fingertips: "He killed the one who looked most like my brother, so you should fill this vacancy..."

"After all, you are the one who has the most similar temperament to my brother among all the people..."

Gu Xingmian was surprised.

Catherine's tone was lingering, and she looked at Gu Xingmian infatuatedly.

She knew that Anthony had been dead for many years, but she couldn't forget him, so she could only find his shadow bit by bit.

His face, his body, his eyes...

A finger-long red worm appeared in Catherine's palm, like a small piece of red thread. She touched the worm gently, then looked at Gu Xingmian, her eyes suddenly became gentle: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

The moment the red worm appeared, Gu Xingmian smelled the sweet fragrance again.

It turned out that the fragrance was not emitted from Anthony and others, but from this worm, no, from this parasite.

Gu Xingmian never thought that there was such a creature as a parasite in the God Card!

Catherine had already placed the insect on Gu Xingmian's body and coaxed him gently: "Just take a nap, and when you wake up, you will be my brother... Anthony."

Burke: "No——!"

Gu Xingmian felt the insect crawling on his body, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Catherine looked at him with satisfaction and signaled Anthony No. 2 to let him go.

Gu Xingmian stood there, his long eyelashes covering his eyelids obediently, his thin figure wrapped in a white shirt, clean and clear.

He looked exactly the same as in Catherine's memory.

It seemed as if he would open his eyes in the next second, smiling helplessly: "Catherine, the eldest lady cannot climb trees."

Catherine's expression began to be dazed, and she approached Gu Xingmian step by step, gently put her arms around his waist, and rested her head on his chest.

"Brother, I miss you so much..."

Before she finished her words, her expression suddenly froze.

She lowered her head and looked at the dagger inserted into her chest in disbelief, and then raised her head tremblingly, but what she saw was not the gentle expression in her memory, but expressionless indifference.

"Why... why?"

But she would never get the answer.

Catherine's body gradually slid down, and No. 2 and No. 3 fell to the ground at the same time, and died instantly.
