The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

"Senior is so nice~" Aurora's voice ended with a cheerful tone.

After saying goodbye to Alya and Bianca, the three of them walked through the dilapidated shantytown with umbrellas, came to the street, and got into Alice's carriage.

"I still have to take a shower when I get home~" Aurora stretched lazily, squinting her eyes slightly, looking a little sleepy.

It's amazing that this guy can still feel sleepy...

The carriage started moving, Xingmo leaned back in the chair, and waves of fatigue came over her.

I went to many places today. It was a very fulfilling day...

Go back and have a good sleep, so that you can face the next big plan with full energy tomorrow!

"..."

Xing Mo then squinted her eyes and rested, listening to the sound of the carriage wheels rolling on the street. Her consciousness was blurred for a moment.

At this moment, Xingmo suddenly heard Alice calling out to the driver:

"parking."

Hmm...? What's wrong? Xingmo opened her eyes and looked out the window.

On a dilapidated street, several detectives in black windbreakers were smoking cigarettes while guarding an apartment building.

They cordoned off the door, revolvers in hand and alert faces.

What's going on here?

"There must be some case," Alice said, "You can rest in the car, I'll take care of it."

"Let me go with you." Xingmo muttered.

Alice didn't stop him. She pushed open the car door, opened the umbrella, and turned around to greet Xingmo.

After Xingmo got out of the car, the two of them walked towards the cordon together.

"What happened here?" Alice didn't show her ID. After all, everyone knew the "Bell Guardian".

At this moment, a harsh voice sounded:

"Miko? Why are you here?"

Xingmo turned around and saw Sheriff Laura Williams walking towards her with an umbrella and a frown on her face.

He was the guy who scolded my senior and almost arrested me at the Sunflower Baths... Xingmo subconsciously took a step back, fearing that she would yell again.

Alice was calm:

"Just passing by."

Sheriff Laura looked at Xingmo, then at Alice, with an expression that said, "As expected."

But she didn't say anything, just pointed to the door of the apartment building:

"A crazy wizard has kidnapped a family of three and is demanding we bring our belongings over, or he'll kill us."

"What does he want?" Alice raised her eyebrows.

Laura looked directly at Alice and said seriously:

"Angel's Tears."

......

8) At the end of September with the autumn breeze (Part 6) -4k-

Hearing the words "Angel's Tears", Alice was a little confused, but Xingmo was secretly shocked.

A crazy wizard kidnapped a family for the "Tears of Angels"?

Under normal circumstances, this holy object from angels has always been just a symbol, or used in a few ritual magics, but is little known to the public.

Why would a crazy wizard want "Angel Tears"?

"..."

Xing Mo suddenly felt that he was close to something, so he took the initiative to step forward and said:

"How long has this situation lasted?"

"Two hours. Our negotiator is trying to calm him down," Laura said. "Hey, little detective, do you want to try to convince him? He's not just any ordinary person, but a wizard like you. He's said to have four strings."

A fourth-string wizard? Alice and Xingmo exchanged a glance, then immediately asked:

"what is his name?"

"I don't know. No one knows. He came up with the term 'four strings' himself," Laura shrugged. "Most wizards are crazy, aren't they?"

Unable to confirm combat power, unable to confirm purpose, everything is a mystery...

Xingmo poked Alice's waist, motioning her to come closer, and then whispered:

"That guy might be connected to Bishop Fry Sunlight's disappearance... We need to keep him alive."

"Is that so?" Alice pondered. "Perhaps it would be difficult. Normally, I could find a way to directly destroy his brain, which would be the fastest way to save the hostage..."

"We can try to get closer and then use the magic of the Shadow String Domain to control him," Xingmo suggested. "I'm better at this, and Senior will be responsible for protecting the hostages."

"Okay, no problem." Alice nodded.

"Hey, you two, don't just discuss the plan on your own," Laura suddenly interrupted, "How can we help you?"

Apparently, even though she disdains Alice, she knows her priorities when handling a case.

"Surveillance the surrounding blocks. If the criminal has accomplices or tries to escape, stop them," Alice said.

"I understand." Laura nodded.

After saying that, she pulled open the cordon and let Alice and Xingmo pass.

But at this moment, Xing Mo's inspiration moved slightly——

"Get down!"

She plucked the strings swiftly, and a golden barrier unfolded before her eyes.

The next second, the corridor of the apartment building exploded——

"boom--"

The two negotiators flew out and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

"Pull them back! Take them to a safe place!" Laura shouted, "Everyone else, come with me to rescue the hostages!"

"Don't worry!" Alice shouted, "The hostage is still alive!"

Her eyes had become dark and deep without her knowing when, and from between the shadows, she caught a glimpse of the blurry shadows in the house.

Laura stopped immediately. At this moment, a loud roar came from the corridor:

"Lamb! Lamb! Impotent lamb!"

"Stop talking to me with your nonsense! Stop talking nonsense! I want angel tears! I want angel tears!"

"I'm only waiting for the last five minutes! In five minutes I'm going to blow you all up to the sky! Blow you all up to the sky!!"

The hysterical roar echoed through the corridor, sending a chill down the spine of everyone present.

Xingmo put down her wand and frowned slightly.

"He has gone completely crazy..." The girl's tone was somewhat helpless.

In five minutes, there was no longer any good way to control him. The only thing to do was to get rid of him quickly and ensure that the hostages were safe.

Xing Mo thought about using the power of the "Tree of Life" mark to interfere with the wizard, but the problem is that the fourth-string wizard himself has strong spiritual power, so it is doubtful whether the interference can be successful.

If it fails, there may be casualties among the hostages.

There are so many detectives on the scene right now. If Aurora is asked to help, she will definitely be noticed.

After comprehensive discussion, it seems that rescuing the hostages is the only priority.

What a pity, I thought I could find a clue...

Xingmo sighed secretly and turned to look at Alice beside him:

"Senior, let's go."

"Yeah." Alice nodded.

Just as the two were about to step forward, Aurora's voice came from behind:

"Don't worry, there's still a way, right?"

Xingmo turned around and saw Aurora coming out with a small umbrella, playing with her wand with her fingertips.

"It's the kind of thing that... can deal with him, but also make him talk."

"What method?" Alice raised her eyebrows.

Aurora smiled slightly and then murmured:

"Six-string magic, 'Soul Cage'."

Hearing this name, Xingmo's pupils shrank slightly, and she answered subconsciously;

"But we all..."

"Don't forget us~" Aurora said with a smile, "Ritual magic for three people, is that okay?"

In fact, even a wizard with low strings can play high string magic.

As a "saint" of the five strings, Xingmo can fully use six-string magic with helpers and auxiliary rituals.

But the premise of all this is that her spiritual power can withstand it.

"Putting all the spiritual power on you can serve as a test for your advancement," Aurora smiled narrowed her eyes, "If your soul can withstand the spiritual power of the Six-String level, then it means the advancement ceremony can be held sooner!"

"But what if she can't bear it..." Alice said.

"Don't worry, we're watching," Aurora winked. "It's just six strings. It's just a little ant playing the piano."

Alice suddenly thought of the harp that had been broken down after being touched by Aurora, and her worry instantly dissipated.

But Xingmo was still a little worried. She glanced at the dilapidated corridor and murmured softly:

"I don't know if he deserved this..."

Soul Cage is one of the few relatively well-known high-string magics, due to its connection to a series of brutal murders that occurred in the early days.

The instigator of the case is a mad six-string-level "Saint". He uses rituals to repeatedly cause deaths between villages and towns in the Academi territory. All the victims have intact bodies and no external injuries, but all have lost vital signs.

When the "Bell Guardian" in charge of the case at the time found the madman in an underground cave in the mountains, he was discovered to be dead.

His body was shattered, and countless gray-white ghosts were holding his body and flying around in the cave, painting the walls red.

And this is the ending he set for himself - to seize the souls of all victims, and then let those souls kill him, thus completing the sacrifice to the evil god.

This is the function of the six-string magic "Soul Cage": using the blade condensed from spiritual energy to tear open the human spirit body and peel out its soul intact.

The soul will quickly dissipate if it has no attachment, but the soul that can be separated by the "Soul Cage" will not dissipate, but will be absorbed into the body of the caster.

Through this magic, the caster can use the resonant chords of the person whose soul has been sucked away until his spirit is completely dissipated.

Before dissipating, the caster can also interrogate the imprisoned soul - it is impossible to lie in the spiritual state.

In short, this is magic used for killing and domination, and can even be characterized as black magic.

But the "Bell Guardian" has the power to protect the Academy by any means necessary in extreme circumstances, so now it seems like this is indeed an option.

"..."

As if seeing Xingmo's reluctance, Alice whispered:

"If all else fails, try 'Sleep Night'. I'll put him to sleep while you rescue the hostages."

"But if we fail, the hostages will die immediately." Xing Mo sighed.

She didn't know if the criminal deserved this fate, but now, she was going to take action.

"All of you step back ten meters, and don't get close no matter what happens next." Xing Mo ordered Sheriff Laura.

At this time, Laura was not idle either. She directly asked the police officers to step back and cooperate with the work of the "bell guard".

"Senior, did you bring the materials?"
