The red moon returns

Chapter 49

Duke Wayne introduced it lightly, but Lynch could tell that there was a huge crisis hidden in the mission.

There are only a few types of attempts that can make Rudolf II and people of his status feel like they are facing a formidable enemy, such as changes in political power, the rise and fall of countries, the rise and fall of cities, and the survival of families. Rand's political environment may be able to add one to the list. People live and die.

Neither of these things should be touched by an ordinary time traveler who has not even learned the skills, otherwise one wrong step will result in being shattered to pieces.

Even if you don't go wrong.

Just like now, even if we don't take into account how weird the way the web spinner keeps secrets is, the fact that two investigative reporters who were not deeply involved died and disappeared, and the method is still weird, is enough to illustrate the danger of this matter. .

To reciprocate a favor is to be grateful, but to be stubborn and seek death is stupid.

So Lynch's words of rejection came to his lips, but after he paused for a few seconds after hearing the old Duke's answer, what he said was: "Give me a choice now, do you two Your Excellencies look down on me too much? I don't It needs to be reconsidered, I have already accepted this commission.”

Um? "The two old men looked at each other, and for a moment they lost the calmness that two old foxes should have.

"A promise is a promise. It's my own fault for not being able to predict the danger before. Danger is not a reason to break the promise." Lynch clenched his fists and said angrily, "You really treat me as if I'm in danger and break my promise." Someone? I can’t do this kind of thing.”

The two old men were momentarily shocked by the holiness on Lin Qi's face, and looked at him in surprise and admiration, but no one heard what he was saying in his heart.

I have found you, my enemy, and I must settle the score of six pounds and fifteen shillings.

The empty picture frame on the wall of Randall's house has always appeared repeatedly in Lynch's dreams every night. There is an invisible person hiding in it, watching his every move with eerie eyes.

After surviving, Lynch asked Officer Natalie, and the officer checked it for him, but she had no idea whether it was a rare ability or magical object effect.

Even professional mystery hunters don't understand it. It should be a relatively unique skill. Lynch has been thinking about it, so when the old Duke mentioned the empty picture frame, he immediately realized that this person was probably the mastermind behind the plot against him, at least. Close relationship with him.

Since the original landlord sent a mocking letter, there was no news from this man for several days, but Lynch did not dare to ignore this poisonous snake hidden in the dark. He believed that the poisonous snake would jump out and bite him again soon, especially if he After escaping the glare of the Flasher.

There is no principle of guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Unless this poisonous snake is caught and killed, Lin Qi feels that he cannot sleep well.

What's more, Ms. Luna refused to elaborate on many things because she was too immature, so she had to dig out the answers on her own.

The other party deliberately chose me, and the original owner happened to have a red moon pendant that he had carried for many years, and then he traveled back into the original owner's body. According to Officer Natalie, there are no coincidences in the mysterious world, and there must be connections that she has not yet understood.

There was no chance before, so Lynch could only endure it, but now he finally found a clue. With Lynch's character who wants to control his own destiny until he dies, he will never let it go even if he has to risk countless lives.

The two old men looked at each other. The archbishop put away the confusion on his face and said with approval: "It seems that I still underestimated you before. Since you are so trustworthy, I will now arrange for someone to transfer Red Moon Memories from the capital headquarters. Probably More than ten days on the road." "It's not important, I believe in your sincerity." Lynch thought about it in his mind and asked nonchalantly, "However, I need to check the other content myself. Can you tell me the information about the League of Shadows? There should be no need to hide it, I hope to know more about them, maybe I can see something from their movements."

"You really found a powerful young man." The old Duke looked at his old friend beside him in surprise, and then said to Lynch, "As expected of a professional detective, how did you notice the key at a glance? ?”

ha? What else did you come up with? Saying it lets me know what I think.

He was thinking in his mind, but Lin Qi just smiled and said nothing.

"The Alliance of Shadows is a secret society. Most of them are believers in the Meteor God and soul-changers, but there may also be some believers in the Lord God." The old Duke explained, "They not only sell information, but sometimes they also secretly play conspiracies to create trouble. . Or rather, creating trouble is the main purpose. Selling intelligence is just a means to withdraw funds and reduce the target's vigilance. The fundamental purpose is conspiracy and destruction."

Lin Qi listened calmly, but his mood was quite complicated. There was a high probability that his encounter was not an accident. It was probably a conspiracy of the Shadow Alliance, or part of a conspiracy. After thinking for a moment, Lynch asked: "What is their purpose in doing this?"

"I don't know. There are legends that they want to resurrect a certain meteor god whose priesthood includes conspiracy and lies. There are also legends that they want to destroy the world and end the Fifth Age. There are also some other speculations. The common denominator is that they are all crazy." The old Duke continued. , "So we can get intelligence from them, but we don't dare to believe it completely, and we also have to consider whether they are hatching any conspiracy by giving us the intelligence. This is also the focus of your investigation, whether it is related to them, and if it is related , what exactly do they want to do.”

"In other words, they are likely to be directly related to the railway incident I want to investigate."

"Yes, and it is very possible." The old Duke warned, "But their plans are often very complicated and very hidden. When you think you have seen their purpose clearly, you are actually seeing just a little bit, so for It is difficult for others to detect their conspiracy in advance and take precautions.”

Lin Qi nodded secretly in his heart, that's right. As long as I continue to keep an eye on the railway incident, there is a high chance that I will catch you, this poisonous snake.

"And this crazy secret society is related to many extreme societies, and will also cooperate with cultists. There are even rumors that there are cultists within them, or that they directly control some less crazy cultists." Archbishop Linlai added, "In short, this is a very dangerous and crazy secret society. If you investigate them, you must be very careful."

Well, I knew full well that they would be cooperating with the cultists, otherwise I wouldn't have had to hang the gas pipe that night.

"If you need any assistance, just come here to find Trinleth. It's not convenient for me to come forward directly. He will tell me." The old Duke pondered for a moment and added, "Also, remember, you have two tasks for this task. Months of time, before July 7, regardless of the progress of the investigation, you must give me a phased reply, the sooner the better."

"Huh? Isn't the construction deadline in August?"

"Remember, before July 7th." The old Duke did not answer.

Lynch nodded, took out his detective notebook, recorded the information about the League of Shadows one by one, and finally marked July 7th in big letters.

The mastermind in the frame, prepare for the second round.
