The red moon returns

Chapter 39 The journey to awakening (big chapter, updated today)
  The body is fat, with a small head and a big belly, resembling a humanoid spider.

While the two of them were still in shock, Jeremy suddenly opened the spider corpse covering his body and ran towards the depths of the cave.

There was no injury on his body, not even his wig fell off. The power of the moonlight he attracted was only directed at the mythical creatures in the dreamland, avoiding the humans on the field, allowing him to escape.

Yes, Mr. Jeremy, the leader of the cult who worships the evil god the Web-Weaver of the Abyss, and who lives with a group of spider monsters all day long, is actually still a human being, and just an ordinary person.

When the evil spirit behind him fled in a hurry and all the spider monsters he relied on were destroyed, he could no longer see the triumphant look he had when he appeared just now, showing an unprecedented embarrassment.

His body was covered in blue-purple spider slime, and half of a spider fang hung from his head. He didn't even care about the large pieces of spider web on his face, and ran quickly towards the tunnel that led deep underground.

There leads to a maze-like network of underground caves. Once you escape, no one dares to chase you in easily.

While there's no fire around that damn watcher, and the spider webs are slowing them down, no one can catch up with me right now.

boom.

Just after running two steps, there was a deafening gunshot.

Jeremy winced and heard a clang, sparks flying from the top of the cave.

Lynch's revolver was smoking, the muzzle pointed at the ceiling of the cave, his face was twisted in pain, and his wrist was shaking violently.

It really hurts. Why is it different from what I saw in the show? My wrist is almost broken.

Even so, he still gritted his teeth and kept his voice normal: "Stop and don't run, otherwise you won't fire into the sky next time."

Jeremy didn't even look, his footsteps didn't stop for a moment. Then, the second gunshot rang out again.

This time the sparks were coming from the wall in the direction of the entrance, which was reversed by about 160 degrees, which wasn't too much.

idiot.

Jeremy thought fiercely in his heart, you can't catch up with me, just wait. As long as I don't die, I will definitely offer sacrifices to summon my Lord to come and completely destroy this city. By then, none of you can run away. I will Let you regret what you did today.

After waiting for the third gunshot for a long time, Jeremy became more and more excited. He was about to get into the winding corridor when a whistling wind suddenly came from behind.

A heavy blow hit the back of his head, causing him to stagger a few steps, hit his head against the wall, and fell down dizzy.

Lynch threw the pistol directly over, and the heavy revolver hit the target accurately.

If I don’t know how to shoot, why don’t I know how to throw bricks?

As soon as Jeremy fell to the ground, a boot stepped heavily on his face, pushing him back as he tried to struggle.

Officer Natalie chased after her from the beginning, but was a little slower due to the cobwebs remaining on the ground. However, with the help of Lynch's precise marksmanship, she immediately stepped on the cultist leader and stamped on his face. , the sword was unsheathed and pointed directly at Jeremy's forehead.

"Duncan, Maggie, Martha, the accounts of the Hudson family should be settled this time. And this morning's tragedy, although there is another mastermind, you are also responsible for the death of hundreds of people. It's time to pay off the debt. .”

"Don't kill me. Please spare my life. I have money. I will give you five thousand pounds. You will never have to worry about money in your life. Let me go and I will give you all the money right away."

Lynch, who was picking up a gun in the corner, almost hit the wall, but the police officer had already raised her sword.
  "You can rest assured that you will use the money you have earned. Let you go and let you continue to use your kindred soul to flatter the evil god? You are dreaming."

"You can't kill me. You are a watchman. According to the law, I have to go to the Hall of Justice for trial. Only the court has the right to decide my punishment. You have no right to decide."

The corners of the police officer's lips curled up, and she stabbed hard with her sword.

"Stop, I'm still useful." Jeremy's pants were all wet, and he shouted heartbreakingly, "As long as you don't kill me, I will tell you who is the real mastermind behind the cooperation with my master. That is the real big shot. .”

The police officer paused and glanced at Lynch with a questioning look.

Lin Qi was a little tempted.

His mission is to find out which forces were involved in the railway incident and what roles they played. The identity and purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes are naturally one of them.

Although he has now alienated his soul and no longer urgently needs the Red Moon memories in the hands of the Church of Dark Night, every time he alienates in the future, he will consume one Red Moon memory. Therefore, even for this luxury item, which costs at least hundreds of pounds, He must also continue to investigate. What's more, what happened next was probably related to mystery or even other evil gods, which was exactly what he needed most.

But this person must not live, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Lynch is not the kind of person who values ​​promises over life, but he also doesn't want to use self-destructive methods to obtain information. This is the bottom line.

There are zero and countless times when the bottom line moves backward.

After much thought, Lynch decided to stick to the bottom line. The clues could be continued from other places, but if the bottom line was lost, there would be no more.

However, just as he was about to shake his head at the police officer, Lin Qi suddenly felt something in his heart, and then there was a sharp sting between his eyebrows.

It is a warning from inspiration, and a mysterious appearance of extremely high intensity.

A cold air crept up his back, and Lin Qi quickly looked around. However, there is nothing abnormal in the field of vision. It seems... huh?

By purposefully staring in the direction of his inspiration, Lynch finally discovered something strange.

Jeremy's clothes were squirming slightly.

The amplitude was so small that even he himself was not aware of it. Lynch relied entirely on inspiration.

Lin Qi realized that he had seen this phenomenon before. Just a few dozen minutes ago, the victim in box No. 8 had his clothes squirming slightly like this. It was not until he tore open his clothes that he saw Those crawling sarcomas down there.

‘Neighbor, what’s going on? ’

[The believer's leaks plunged the Webweaver into a rage, and the Webweaver decided to send down divine punishment to warn other believers. 】

"Okay, we promise you." Lynch immediately winked at Officer Natalie. Although the officer did not understand the specific meaning, she reluctantly took back her feet, bit her lip and said, "I finger the ghost image. I swear to the Lord of Order, as long as you tell us the real culprit behind the scenes, we..."

"We will never hurt you, and we also promise not to let other 'people' hurt you." Lynch took over immediately, "But you must say it now, immediately, immediately."

Lynch's heart was always in suspense, fearing that he would not be able to deceive the clues in time. In order to prevent the other party from seeing the problem, he did not even dare to look at Jeremy. Fortunately, Jeremy kept his attention on Officer Natalie and didn't take Lynch seriously at all. He seemed to be very relieved about Natalie's promise. After chewing on her promise a few times, he revealed A reassuring smile.

"The main messenger behind the scenes comes from the City Hall. Although he always wears a cloak, I can hear the characteristics of his voice. It is City Hall Lorante."

Lynch was confused. He looked at Officer Natalie and found that she was equally confused.

"Who is that?" Jeremy's face trembled with fat, and he said disdainfully: "The speaker of the House of Commons, the owner of the Lorante screw factory, and the fourth person in the city hall. How about this news? This news is enough to get me back. It’s his life.”

"It's enough for us not to hurt you." Lynch whispered a few words in Officer Natalie's ear and whispered, "Do you have any secrets related to the mystery that you haven't told? It's best to tell them together, otherwise it will be a pity."

"What do you mean? Don't you want to regret it? She swore an oath on her finger." Jeremy took a step back, looking wary.

"No, we don't regret it, we just feel a little sorry that you passed away with a secret."

Lynch pointed to Jeremy's chest, where the squirming had become more obvious.

Jeremy lowered his head, was stunned for a moment, and then desperately tore open his clothes. On a piece of white fat flesh, large blue-purple tumors were squirming rapidly, getting bigger and faster.

Every time it wriggles, the sarcoma expands. Within a few seconds, it is obviously bulging on the skin, and the epidermis becomes more and more transparent.
  Heart-rending screams came from the fat mouth. Jeremy knew exactly what was going to happen. He wanted to scratch the sarcoma but didn't dare to touch it. He raised his hands and waved in front of his chest, and his screams became more and more sad each time.

"We will never let anyone hurt you, but there is nothing we can do about higher existences. You can discuss it yourself."

Lynch shrugged and looked away. The sight of his body covered with tumors was so exciting that he almost vomited out Mrs. Maggie's dinner just by looking at it.

Officer Natalie beside her also turned livid, just like Lynch had seen the victim for the first time not long ago. She had realized that if Lynch hadn't arrived just now, she would have been like this, so her face turned pale. It became even uglier than Lynch's original appearance.

But she still took half a step forward, blocking in front of Lynch, staring at Jeremy, who had become like a monster, without evading her gaze.

"Lord, let me go, spare my life."

Jeremy screamed, fell to the ground and twisted wildly. But he still couldn't stop the sarcoma from expanding. He could only watch the sarcoma become more and more transparent, and the crawling black shadow inside became more and more obvious.

"If there are any other secrets, tell me quickly. This is to avenge yourself, hurry up."

Lin Qi tilted his head and urged eagerly.

However, before he finished speaking, the body that was desperately twisting suddenly stiffened, and the sarcoma that had expanded to the extreme exploded at the same time. Countless ferocious little spiders were covered in pus and blood, and they emerged from the erupting sarcoma, and instantly crawled all over him. whole body.

"Quick."

"Lord, Lord, spare me, I dare not...ahhhh~~"

The voice became sharper and shriller, even his voice was torn. The mountain of flesh wrapped around the little spider rolled crazily on the ground, but he couldn't stop the spider from tearing at him, so he could only scream desperately:

"Kill me, please, kill me quickly."

"Sorry, I swore on my finger soul that I would not hurt you." The police officer shook her head with a complicated expression, "This is an oath that cannot be broken."

Jeremy, who was crawling with spiders, didn't know if he heard it or not. His voice gradually became lower and his struggle became weaker and weaker. In the end, only a slight squirming was left. Lynch sighed, and finally closed his eyes simply and couldn't bear to watch anymore.

"Mayor, Mayor Howard, he... ah."

Before he could finish his sudden last words, Jeremy's body suddenly shook, and after screaming, he completely collapsed. In just ten seconds, his plump body shrank rapidly, and finally turned into a pile of bones.

And those little spiders started killing each other again, disgusting bodily fluids splashing all over the floor, until a ball of human-shaped flames rushed up, and the flames swallowed all the spiders together.

When the flames turned into smoking human figures, everything had settled. Except for Officer Natalie and Lynch, there was nothing moving left in the underground cave. The two looked at the tragic and spectacular scene with complicated expressions. He was a little dazed, and no one said anything for a long time, until the police officer finally broke the silence.

"Two years ago, I investigated the Abyss Web Weaver. The secrets weaved into the web by it would be pulled into the abyss by anyone who took the initiative to peek into the secret. So I did not dare to bring any companions to investigate with me. In the afternoon... I'm sorry. But I left a letter for the watchers, and they should have received it by now. I told them all my guesses. As long as I don't go back, it means everything is true and the truth will be made public. I really I didn't expect you to show up, but seeing you show up, I..."

The police officer turned her head to the side, hiding her face in the faint green light around her:
  "I am very happy."

"I'm very happy too." Lynch held up three fingers with a smile, "This way someone owes me three conditions."

Biting her lip gently with her white teeth, the police officer flipped up her hair, glared at the guy with a bad smile, and said sinisterly: "As a detective, you should know that according to the laws of the kingdom, if the debtor disappears without any reason, all All verbal debts are cancelled. I think this is a perfect place to disappear."

"It didn't fit at all. The police came in and searched after a while."

Lin Qi immediately held his head and took a few steps away. This woman was too cruel.

"Then tell me honestly what happened."

Lynch shrugged and briefly recounted tonight's experience.

The expression on the lady police officer's face became more and more exciting as she listened. Finally, her eyes widened and the corners of her mouth twitched as she said, "Huh? So you tricked two evil gods at once?"

For some reason, Lin Qi suddenly remembered the cartoon he watched when he was a child. A cat was sleeping soundly with a salted fish in his arms. A mouse rushed over and bumped into the cat. Just when the two sides collided with each other and were beaten to death, Xianyu got up and patted the ground and walked away, leaving only a cat and a mouse stunned.

Lin Qi sighed: "When I completed the alienation just now, I seemed to hear another angry roar, and then there was no sound again. I don't know if it was my imagination. It should be, I think the flicker is so He is a good God who protects us kindly, and he will definitely not care."

"You'd better be careful. The will of these evil gods is difficult to understand. If you have been tricked once, they probably won't let you go like this. At least their cultists have to be on guard. But...you are here."

As she spoke, the police officer pointed to her heart.

Lin Qi was stunned, realizing that he had forgotten this fatal threat that had been pestering him for several days. He immediately opened his clothes. The skin around his heart was smooth and clean, and his blood-red eyes had long since disappeared.

Touching his chest which had returned to normal, Lynch's legs weakened and he collapsed on the ground, staring at Officer Natalie's beautiful face in a daze. For a moment, his heart was filled with an unreal feeling.

Did I really survive?

Have I gained a foothold in this world?

Even if I have offended two evil gods, even if there is someone behind the scenes who sacrificed me, even if the railway incident has just revealed the tip of the iceberg, even if the road to immortality has just begun.

But at least I survived. I finally no longer live in the shadow of death and can face this new world as I please?

[Yes, Lynch, congratulations on reaching the end of your awakening journey. The road to immortality is rugged and bumpy. I wish you a safe journey in advance. 】

'Thanks, neighbor, no, thanks, Luna. ’

Lynch stood up, patted the cobwebs and dust off his body, bowed to Officer Natalie, smiled and said:

"Reintroducing yourself, Lynch Leviv, soul changer, level one power. Please take good care of me in the future, Officer Natalie Angell."
