Chapter 6

On the downward stairs.

Hailey was asking Emma.

"Can they really escape? We still don't know how Carola and the others were discovered."

"Sister Hailey, why think about these things? Now they are going to bed, and everyone thinks they have no time to manage, so they made their own choices. Dad said that everyone has their own freedom, so this choice is correct for everyone," Emma said with a smile.

"Caring about this now is not as good as leaving quickly."

Hailey didn't speak, but seemed to think of something, looked at Emma coldly, and moved further away from her.

Seeing this, Emma's expression couldn't be controlled, and she turned her head away and stopped looking at Hailey.

Mary looked at the two sisters in confusion, not understanding what they were talking about. Forget it, just follow behind Brother Louis.

Louis shook his head.

Emma was deliberately inducing those children to escape; she had been disguising and gaining the children's favor these days, perhaps she was preparing to do something, and just happened to use this opportunity.

As for Emma's behavior, is it right?

It can only be said that it is beneficial to them.

If there was no secret basement path, perhaps Louis and the others would also choose the same escape route as those children; the risk would be greater, so, as a beneficiary, what could Louis say?

However, this person Emma really has some evil in her bones; it doesn't fit a child's mind at all, inducing so many people to complete her purpose without changing her expression.

Needs to be guarded against!

At this time.

They finally arrived at the secret basement and also saw the middle-aged man locked here.

As soon as they met, he said anxiously, "The time is wrong, Mother she"

Before he finished speaking.

*Thump, thump, thump!!! *

Heavy and fast footsteps came from the dark stairs.

Louis and the others fell into panic instantly; who else could it be besides Emilia?

At this moment, various questions appeared in Louis's mind, but there was no time to think; he immediately ran to the door and took out the blood-metal hinge that had already succeeded.

The iron piece had automatically turned into a key, only faintly glowing red.

*Click! *

The big lock opened in response.

The long-lost extreme brightness shone in from the outside.

"Run!"

Only.

*Hum! *

The door closed instantly, and Louis also felt an impact, hitting the wall directly.

*Bang! *

So dizzy...

Forcibly supporting himself so as not to fall, Louis shouted, "Hailey!"

The next moment.

All movement disappeared.

Louis shook his head and looked down.

Only to see Emilia, with disheveled hair, a more aged face, and injuries on her body, looking forward ferociously, while Hailey was holding a sharp iron piece against the middle-aged man's neck, and traces of blood were spreading.

Louis walked down quickly and also took out an iron piece to hold against his throat as insurance.

"Let him go!" Emilia growled, veins popping on her face, and white whites of her eyes quickly occupied the entire pupil, but she delayed in launching her ability.

Louis's heart relaxed; the man was right, she really loved her son; it seems he did the right thing by choosing to tell Hailey and the others about these things at the time.

However...

Louis's gaze drifted to the dark corner of the basement.

"Let us leave, otherwise, kill him."

Emilia's mouth twitched. "Good, I'll let you leave."

*Click. *

Telekinesis control, the door opened slowly.

Louis signaled with his eyes, Mary ran out quickly, Hailey and Louis looked at each other, and pulled the man to walk back together.

"Now, you step back."

Emilia obediently returned to the darkness.

Because the man was tied with chains, he couldn't be brought out of the basement.

Both knew that once released, Emilia would definitely run to chase them, so they had to use the lock to lock the door to buy time.

Louis waved his hand toward the corner, seemingly signaling to leave.

But at this time.

"Mother! I'm here!"

Nuel's voice suddenly sounded.

The next second.

Nuel and Emilia rushed out together; at this time, Emilia's speed was extremely fast.

*Bang! *

In the dark corner, a wooden board with nails was swung down fiercely from top to bottom, hitting Nuel on the head; blood gushed out immediately, and the scream instantly attracted Emilia's attention; she stopped abruptly and turned back to look.

At the same time, Hailey's eyes were ruthless, and she cut the man's throat with a knife.

On both sides, they were screaming and bleeding.

"Ahhh!!!"

Emilia let out a shrill scream.

She looked at this scene in horror; after a brief hesitation and struggle, she ran to the front of the imprisoned man, carefully covering the wound on his throat; the man also hugged his wife at this moment, like an infant immersed in his mother's arms.

There was even a trace of warmth.

Suddenly, she raised her head to look at Hailey, who was running toward the door, and Louis, who hadn't left, her eyes rolling back.

*Swish! *

A sharp iron piece suddenly appeared from her arms, cutting her neck; the severe pain interrupted her ability again; she wailed, she struggled, but the man hugged her tightly, constantly scratching her neck. "Mother... Mother... die... let's die together... we are dirty..."

Emilia seemed to have scruples; although she was struggling, she delayed in breaking free.

*Pfft! Pfft! *

Seizing the opportunity, Louis stepped forward quickly, and with two fast, accurate, and ruthless strikes, he stabbed the sharp iron thorn into Emilia's eyes.

"Ahhh!!!"

*Bang! Bang! Bang! *

Behind him, the wooden board full of nails was swung down again, hitting Emilia's head fiercely.

After being hit three times in a row, Emilia's struggle weakened suddenly.

Louis kept taking deep breaths, and Emma was also panting, her arms trembling abnormally, her whole body trembling.

The two looked at each other, adding a bit of tacit understanding.

That's right, the one who had been hiding in the dark corner just now was Emma; she originally wanted to ambush Emilia if necessary, but didn't expect it to have an unexpected effect.

But now there was no time for them to sigh; Louis took the wooden board from Emma's hand and swung it fiercely at Nuel, who was still rolling on the ground.

*Bang! *

Cutting the grass, one must remove the roots.

The man who was hugging Emilia tightly gradually loosened his hands as he lost blood.

Emilia heard Nuel's scream, which had gradually deepened; she stretched out her hands and kept groping toward his direction, wanting to hold her child, just like when he was young, singing lullabies for them, breastfeeding them, dancing together in the afternoon sun, feeling the happiness that belonged to their family...

Behind her.

Emma, with a gloomy face, looked at the happy Emilia and sneered.

The iron piece in her hand was pressed against the back of Emilia's neck, *pfft! *

All movement disappeared.

Louis and Emma both collapsed to the ground; for them, who were only six years old, the physical strength consumed by this action was too great; Louis even suspected that he had the help of adrenaline just now.

After a while.

The two stood up, but Louis didn't rush to leave, instead walking upward; Emma hesitated for a moment, stayed where she was, and began to check if the three were dead.

Afterward, Louis found a black book in the dressing table of the second-floor compartment and revealed a smile.

"Good stuff."

The information collected by Emma and the others had mentioned this; the dressing table was not allowed to be approached by anyone, so he gave it a try.

Basement exit.

Louis and Emma walked out together, facing the free and fresh air and the bright sunlight.

"Louis, Emma, that's great."

Behind the tree, Mary and Hailey, who were hiding with wooden sticks, walked out.

It turned out they hadn't left immediately.
