The red moon returns
Chapter 27 Escape
Chapter 27 Escape
The dust floating in the atmosphere made the world dark, the air exuded a burnt smell, the deafening roar of machinery resounded all around, and carriages pulling coal and whale oil rushed along the streets.
The color of the gray fog area is always gray. From a distance, the huge chimneys are like fangs reaching into the sky, breathing out thick black smoke, while the towering condensation towers are like fat giants, spraying smoke day and night. A gray mist with a sour smell came out.
Not far after chasing him out of the Hall of Order, the other party got into a box-type taxi, which made it easier for the two of them to follow. Officer Natalie simply borrowed a patrol horse and secretly followed with Lynch. Chased all the way to the vicinity.
This is a vacant factory area. The taxi is parked on the roadside waiting, and the 'old woman' walked into the factory area on her own.
Natalie and Lynch did not go deep. They were dozens of meters away, hiding among the branches of a big tree. Each held a monocular telescope and peered into the empty factory area from a distance.
Deep inside is a dilapidated factory building. It can be seen that it has not been used for a long time, but through the glass windows, you can see vague human figures moving inside.
As the old woman approached, the figure in the window suddenly disappeared, and then the door opened, and five or six people came out of the house.
Lin Qi frowned. The person inside looked unusual.
These people were tall and muscular, with dark and rough skin, as if they had been exposed to wind and sun for a long time. They wore coarse clothes and pants, and many complex and messy patterns could be seen on the exposed skin.
The leader of them was an old man with white hair. He was not as tall as the others. His body was skinny and skinny, which reminded Lynch of his own hands the night before.
However, he was such an old man. When Lynch saw him, even when he was peering through the telescope from at least dozens of meters away, he still felt his scalp numb, his heart beating as if it was about to explode, and his palms sweating. , it wasn’t until a moment later that the violently beating heart finally calmed down a little.
Trying his best to control his unconsciously trembling lips, Lin Qi felt that the thoughts in his head were trembling.
‘Travel companion, this must be a powerful soul changer. ’
[Yes, the mystery of the entanglement of his soul is very strong, it has crossed the perception distance and stimulated your inspiration. Please be careful, Lynch. 】
This was the first time he heard this voice telling him to be careful, but Lin Qi couldn't think about it anymore. He knew that he hit a big fish today, which was a bit scary.
He gently touched Officer Natalie next to him and whispered in her ear: "That old man, I feel a very powerful force, similar to Mr. V, or even stronger than V."
Natalie's muscles tightened, her expression became cautious, and she whispered: "Victor is a soul-shifter with power level five, so this old mountain man might be at level six, and he shouldn't be able to reach level seven." It's best not to peep at him directly, they are often very sensitive with their strength."
Lin Qi immediately turned his attention to the other strong men, and then felt the pressure relieved: "Are these mountain people?"
"Yes, a very distinctive look. Hush, it's time to move."
The old man led a group of mountain people to greet the old woman and bowed deeply to her. The old woman only bowed her knees slightly, then opened and closed her lips, seemingly saying a long string of words.
After listening to her words, the young mountain people showed panic and anger, and some even waved their fists. Only the leading old man's cloudy eyes were half-open and half-closed as if he was not awake, and his bark-like face was filled with anger. His face was calm.
It wasn't until the 'old woman' stopped that the old man nodded slowly, squinting his eyes and waving behind him. Two mountain men immediately returned to the factory, and soon helped a weak mountain man out. , arrived in front of the 'old woman', turned around and lifted up the frail mountain man's top.
From a distance, Lynch and Natalie's breaths froze, and then they looked at each other, and they could see the shock on each other's faces.
There is a huge sarcoma on the back of the mountain man.
The purple sarcoma is bigger than a fist, and it bulges out from the surface of the skin. The sarcoma swells and shrinks like a beating heart, and shakes a few times from time to time. The surface of the skin is smooth, almost translucent, and there seems to be something inside. Squirming.
Lynch only felt creepy, not afraid, but looking at the squirming sarcoma, he felt waves of physical nausea. Looking at Ms. Natalie next to her, her face was also ugly, and she must be having a hard time.
As for the mountain people in the distance, there was nothing strange except that they were angrier. I wonder if she was used to it. The 'old woman' also observed them closely for a while, and then nodded and said something to the old mountain people. What? He took out a few small brown glass bottles from his pocket, which looked like old-fashioned medicine bottles he had seen in his previous life.
The old man also showed a rare smile and personally took out a small earthen jar from the factory and came to the weak villager. Lin Qi was watching intently, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the old mountain man glanced in this direction when he turned around.
Ok?
Lynch's scalp felt numb, and he suddenly put down the binoculars and looked at the police officer: "I just felt like he glanced at me."
"He turned his body this way, but that was a natural movement." Officer Natalie held up the binoculars and looked again, "I didn't find anything unusual, are you sure?"
Lin Qi also watched again for a while. Everyone on the opposite side was indeed acting as normal. Maybe he was too inspired and hypersensitive. However, as soon as I let go, the scenes from the scary movies I had watched in the past immediately appeared in front of my eyes.
No, I have seen many similar scenes in movies, and I would rather believe it.
Lynch didn't care about being polite, grabbed Natalie's wrist, and whispered: "Trust me once, leave now, right away, the faster the better, and the farther you go the better."
The police officer was a little puzzled, but seeing the seriousness on Lynch's face, she didn't ask any more questions. She led Lynch down the tree from the back, ran as fast as possible to where the horse was tied, untied the reins, turned over and trotted off. After several dozen meters, the sound of hoofbeats was no longer covered up and the police horses were allowed to speed up.
It was only then that Lynch breathed a sigh of relief, unfolded his telescope and looked back in the direction just now. Natalie had just controlled the horse to walk onto the road, and then turned back. So, the two of them saw a scene that made their hearts beat faster.
The tall locust tree where the two of them were hiding just now suddenly shook for no reason, and the crown of the tree shook.
The next moment, a breeze blew by. Under the breeze, the branches, trunks, leaves, and the entire tree silently turned into fine dust and dispersed in the wind. Bird's nests, dead wood, and other debris that were originally attached to the tree were scattered. The things were unscathed and fell to the ground with a crackle.
shit.
Lin Qi's legs were weak, and he felt extremely scared.
Fortunately, he ran away quickly. If he had waited for another minute, he would have been caught right now, and there would be no place to hide. Who knows what the other party's attitude would be, and whether it would be fatal.
Damn it, are these powerful soul-shifters still human beings? They can use this level of long-range strikes casually.
Officer Natalie obviously had the same idea, and urged the horse to gallop with a straight face and without saying a word. Although both of them understood that the other party should not have discovered the exact traces of the two of them, so they would use this method to find them out. , but the difference in strength was too great, and the effect of their gestures made the two of them dare not stay for a long time, they just wanted to go as far as possible.
It wasn't until he ran all the way out of the gray fog area, entered the river valley area and drove onto the flat Rhine Avenue that the speed gradually slowed down. The police officer twisted her body with lingering fear, looking at the direction of escape, and then looked at Lin Qi, who also had a nervous expression. The two looked at each other for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter, thankful that they had escaped.
"Are all you soul-shifters so scary?" Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
"This should be an intermediate level six power level. Fortunately, it didn't cross the seven level power line, otherwise the two of us would have been caught on the spot." The police officer shook her long hair away and put on her top hat again. , "Thank you for reminding me. You saved my life. Thank you."
"I also saved myself, and aren't we temporary partners?" Lynch chuckled, "If you really want to thank me, why not just lose to me again?"
"Be careful, I will throw you down and let you go back to face that person." The police officer said still a little uneasy, "No, I will tell Victor when I go back. Although he did not use a fatal attack and should not be hostile, but An unidentified sixth-level soul-shifter has entered the city limits, and the watchers must be on high alert."
"It's probably useless. They will probably move it soon."
"Then the watchmen should also be more vigilant. Alas, it would be great if they are not discovered, and they will not move."
"Well, fortunately, they probably didn't realize that we discovered the noble's little move." Lynch said thoughtfully, "The Valente family... it seems that they have a very close relationship with the mountain people... and that strange Sarcoma, what the hell is that."
"I'll first learn about this family through the Watcher's channels. Maybe I can find out their connection with the mountain people. As for the sarcoma, it looks very weird. I'm worried that it has something to do with the mystery. I'll also ask someone to check the records. Maybe there are records in some taboo books." When Natalie mentioned the records, she remembered it, controlled the horse to stop, turned around and asked, "Before I met the noble just now, you said there was another place to see it. Records in the case file?”
"Ah, that's right." Lynch patted his head, "The newspaper office, the newspaper office of the Rhine City Investigator."
"Ok?"
"I saw the news about the Best Tunnel twice in the newspaper. Both times mentioned the death caused by the incitement of the mountain residents. They may have checked the case files and even left records. But I just want them to cooperate. It’s not that easy anymore, I guess your identity won’t be of much use.”
"Hey, I hate newspapers, especially the Investigator." The police officer shook the reins angrily and let the police horse start running again, "But what you said makes sense. They have probably seen the records, so why don't they go now? Ask?"
Lynch put one arm around the police officer and took out his pocket watch with the other hand to check the time. It was three o'clock in the afternoon, which was already too early.
"Tomorrow, I will think about how to ask them to help tonight. Today, I will go back to the vault of the Hall of Order to retrieve William's holiday surprise, and send it to the red-haired woman to have the test done. I can trace its trajectory. It's best, maybe one or two murderers can be caught, but if we can't trace them, you can send the rare items back to the club tonight to keep them, I always feel uneasy running around with evidence."
"That's fine." When he heard that he didn't have to go to the newspaper office, Officer Natalie's voice immediately became lighter, and even the horse's speed was much faster. "Bessie should be able to trace it. Although she is only at the second level of power, she is very familiar with mysterious skills and The research on ability application is top-notch in Rhine City, but it’s just because it’s not easy to find the memories of the Fallen God that suit her.”
Lynch touched the new revolver in the holster and looked forward to the beautiful red-haired woman a little more.
However, when the two went to the Hall of Order to return the horses, retrieved the rare items from the warehouse, and returned to the odd item shop on the corner, they found that a cordon had been set up around the store.
The ground was in a mess, as if it had just experienced an explosion.
A group of people in blue uniforms surrounded Mrs. Bessie's magic shop, inspecting the inside and outside. There were many passers-by pointing around.
Natalie and Lynch looked at each other, thinking about the fire in the Hall of Order, and saw the worry on each other's faces.
Nothing will happen again.
Before the police officer could ask anyone for questioning, the door of the store was opened from the inside.
A stretcher was brought out.
