Mike who was also leaning against the car beside him asked, "Thomas, why don't we retreat? As long as we got into our cars, we would be able to escape from here."

Thomas scolded him back, "You fucking idiot. Even if we were able escape from here, Kyle will kill us. Don't you have a fucking sense of things? Do you really think Kyle will still let us live when we failed to do what he said? Also, don't forget about that invisible shield covering the whole town."

Another guy also echoed, "No, we can't. We can't go back, absolutely not. Didn't we blow the whistle? Let's wait first. If we aren't seeing monsters like Kyle said in an hour, we will flee to the guys in the south-east or we can go to the gunshop in the south."

Thomas doesn't know what to say but he didn't deny it. After all, they just want to live. The other guys also nodded in agreement.

"I remember it. OMG, this is the shelter of moon. It was a gift bestowed to my brother by merciful moon God Ixchel.", said Tina.

Peter, who was sitting beside her, was greatly confused by her words.

Tina held the short sword in the scabbard tightly and laughed cheerfully.

She told Peter, "You know what, Pedro, we might be able to get out of here alive."

Peter didn't understand what was wrong with her but he realized that the beautiful short sword might not be a simple thing as it seemed to be.

The next action and words of Tina confirmed his thoughts, "We gotta do something with this. Come on, my carino. Let's go down and witness the miracle."

Tina took Peter to the first floor. Although Kevin and other people saw them, they didn't go down with them in order to fulfill their sentry duty. After all, the couple didn't say anything to them so they missed the magical scene.

The old gangsters were chatting and having a nice tea party when Tina and Peter got to the first floor.

They were amazed by the sudden appearance of the couple or especially Brian.

To him, the activity of the couple was like a crime for disobeying their sentry duty.

But he didn't say any harsh words since the two were not his soldiers and he was no longer the captain.

However, the old man still asked, "Is there anything bothering you? Or do you have something to report us?"

Tina nodded like a bird and she couldn't wait to tell the good news.

"I do have something special to tell you. First of all, do you believe that Gods do exist?"

The old people looked each other thoughtfully and laughed softly. They were wondering what would be the special news. And the girl actually asked them about Gods. What about Gods? What if they do exist? Would they run over and save them? Although they feel that Gods might really exist after knowing that they are now in a strange space with monsters.

But it doesn't matter to them anymore, isn't it?

The old gangsters resumed their chats and ignored the two which made Tina anxious.

However, as a good lady, Tina didn't get angry over this. It is normal for many people to not believe about the existence of Gods since they are now living in technology era.

Brian was also disappointed by her question. Just as he wanted to chat with Julia, Tina told them, "I understand about your feelings. But can you guys please wait to the end?"

"Look at this, this is the artifact my brother gave me.", said Tina as she showed the short sword in her hand.

Brian commented, "It is indeed a beautiful ceremonial short sword. But girl, if you are going to tell us that this dagger would save us from those ugly monsters outside, I want to ask you to go back to the attic and continue your sentry duty. Your negligence could bring us unnecessary troubles."

Tina didn't talk anymore. She cut her hand softly with the short sword. Unlike what most people thought, the beautiful ceremonial short sword was very sharp and it caused an opening instantly.

Tina gritted her teeth and started to slowly smear her blood on the short sword. That hurts. Tears were almost coming out of her eyes.

Magically, the beautiful short sword started to glow with soft white light like a beautiful moonshine.

At that time, Tina drew a half moon symbol on the floor with her blood and stabbed the short sword in the center while praying.

"O, merciful mother moon God Ixchel who has authority of weather and the moon, your humble daughter seeks your protection and shelter from evil things outside. Please shelter every innocent beings here with your divine brilliance, please create your sacred domain in this place to shelter us."

As soon as Tina finished her prayer, a small group of positive soul energy, which couldn't be seen by normal means, departed from her head and it was then absorbed by the short sword. It was as if that was a trigger to something, the short sword started to shine brighter and the soft light group started to expand.

The wounds on the hand of Tina were also slowing disappearing. When the soft light covered the whole two-story house and two floors of basement, Tina's hand was also fully healed by unknown soft light.

After she scratched the scabs, her hand became soft and smooth again as if there was never a cut existed on it.

The whole thing just happened in a minute and everyone was amazed from the start to the finish.

At first, the old gangsters were still thinking what kind of nerve Tina suddenly got to hurt herself. But before they opened their mouth, the short sword in Tina's hand started to glow magically.
