The red moon returns

Chapter 61 Monsters
  The police officer rearranged the photos and put them on the coffee table.

The two frowned and looked at each other, and they could see the confusion in each other's eyes.

What happened to Maya when she went into the mountains for interviews?
  What happened to those mountain people and monsters?

What happened after she came out?
  The most important thing is, it's obviously just a pile of ordinary photos. Why is it tainted with so much mystery, but it doesn't look like a mysterious document at all?

Lin Qi's head was spinning with thought, and he asked, "Have you never seen that kind of monster?"

"No, I have only been a watchman for two years, and there are too many things I haven't seen before." The police officer tapped the photos, "And I want to know more about whether these photos are mysterious documents. If they are just the remaining mystery, It's impossible to influence Downey to cause him to die mysteriously in two days, but I have the same conclusion as you. I don't feel like reading mysterious documents at all. Is Downey's death really not related to these photos? Or did he extract some real mysterious documents? gone?"

"It's all numbered, and the last one is marked with an 'E'. The number is in a woman's font. Unless Maya added the number after Downey's death, the photo shouldn't have been taken out."

"Then I can't figure out the reason. This is beyond the scope of my experience. I have no interest in mysticism. By the way, why don't I ask Mr. Klin for advice. He has rich experience and should understand what's going on."

"Is it appropriate to come to your home with something like this to ask for advice?"

Lynch felt that he would have beaten the opponent out if he were in his place.

"It doesn't matter, this is his job too, just wait for me."

After a while, the police officer invited Mr. Klin, a thin middle-aged man, in. She must have explained the situation. Mr. Klin didn't ask anything, just picked up the photos and quickly looked through them.

"Mysterious remnants are really powerful. I suspect this thing can compete with destruction-level wonders. Maybe it can touch the edge of advent-level objects. Don't think about it, this is a mysterious document, and it is very typical." In less than two minutes, Mr. Kling had concluded, "It's just that it doesn't work for you right now."

"Why?" Officer Natalie asked.

"You hunters only know how to bully those fixed and unchangeable strange objects, and you certainly can't understand the weirdness of mysterious documents." Mr. Klin puffed out his smoke and said slowly, "Some special mysterious documents are usually just a book. A piece of paper, I have even seen a stone slab, a piece of bronze. Only when it meets certain conditions will it become a mysterious document. This type is hidden and more dangerous. The mystery in it is the last time it met It was left behind when the conditions became a mysterious document, so this thing is a big one.”

Lynch blurted out and asked: "What conditions?"

"For concealed documents, the true interpretation is to find the conditions for their effectiveness, and only then can you truly understand the connotation of the document."

Lin Qi pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, asking questions quickly in his mind.

‘Neighbor, can’t I really read the information directly? ’

[No, it is just an ordinary physical photo now, and you cannot decipher the entity. 】

Lynch sighed. It seemed that if he wanted to find out what secrets were hidden in the photos and the cause of Downey's death, he could only find a way to interpret this document.

"You'd better not mess around." Klin saw Lynch's thoughts and was shocked, "This thing is so mysterious. If you really figure it out, the whole city might be implicated. I suggest you destroy it directly. Mysterious documents are not like rare objects. Documents can be destroyed."

"But it is a photo, Mr. Kling. Is destroying it really useful?"

Klin's expression changed immediately. Indeed, the photo was a prototype. It was pointless to just destroy the photo without figuring out the reason. "If you let such unstable things wander among the people, the city may collapse at some point. It's too dangerous." After hesitating again and again, Mr. Klin knocked on his pipe and said distressedly, "Forget it, just leave it here with me first. . It’s up to you to make random guesses. You may not be able to find the correct conditions when all the hidden dangers are revealed. Let me interpret it and let you know the results. If you need to check the photos in the middle, just come to me."

Officer Natalie looked at Lynch and asked. Lynch thought that this kind of time bomb would be safer than placing it here, so he nodded and said: "Then I can only trouble you, Mr. Klin, please." be careful."

"Yes, Mr. Klin." The police officer also warned: "One person directly related to it has died and one has disappeared. Hundreds of people indirectly related to it have died. Judging from the signs, it is extremely dangerous."

"No matter how dangerous something is, someone has to do it. Besides, it's not like I haven't decoded the mysterious documents of level 4 and 5. I've seen a lot. Okay, I'm ready to start working. Do you have anything else to do?"

Officer Natalie suddenly remembered: "By the way, Mr. Klin, do you know that kind of monster? I have never seen it before."

"That's a mysterious creature that lives in the real world. It's relatively rare." Klin glanced at the photo and said, "Ghouls feed on corpses and like to live in groups in tunnels or caves. They are also found in cities, but most of them live in sewers. . Most of these things are transformed by humans, so young individuals have two forms: humans and ghouls. Their speed and strength are far superior to humans. If you don’t consider ability and just rely on physical fitness to fight hard, the level 3 or 4 Even soul-shifters may not be able to deal with ghouls."

Corpse eating... Lynch felt a little disgusted, suddenly realized the problem, and asked: "You just said that they were transformed by humans, so a normal person can also turn into them?"

"Yes, but only some of the ghouls are transformed. Some of their tribes like to transform humans to replenish their members, but some prefer to remain pure blood."

"If they were always with corpses, wouldn't they have a serious rotten smell?"

"Yes, the perennial smell of rotting corpses is one of their characteristics, but they have other ways to cover up the smell in their human form."

Officer Lynch and Officer Natalie looked at each other, and many threads finally came together.

Those mountain people are probably a group of ghouls, and their opposition to the tunnel project may be due to concerns about their identity being exposed. Maya went to interview them without any precautions, but was transformed into the same kind by them in some unknown way. After leaving, she realized that her body was changing, and hid in the cabin of the secret base out of fear. As a result, the only person who could ask for help was tricked to death by photos that contained unknown problems.

This girl was too unlucky. Lin Qi felt that this was her unlucky physique. In comparison, her attractive and mysterious physique was not worth mentioning at all.

However, Officer Natalie still asked: "Mr. Klin, can you be saved after being transformed into a ghoul?"

"After the process is completed, it is completely hopeless. Before it is completed, there is still some hope, but I need to check the information."

"How long does the whole process take?"

"I'm not sure about this. I'm not a ghoul, but generally this kind of transformation ceremony will not last more than one tidal cycle, which lasts twenty-eight days."

"It seems that no matter what the purpose is, we must find her as soon as possible." The police officer said with a wry smile, "These mountain people are protesters, and their identities are relatively sensitive. If you want to accuse them of being monsters in disguise, you must have solid evidence. Maya is the only one now The breakthrough point and witness, only by finding her can we prove the identity of these ghouls lurking in the city. Besides, their behavior in the tunnels is also very strange, who knows what conspiracy is behind it."

As she said that, her and Lynch's eyes fell on the photo of Maya and Donnie.

The answer to Maya's whereabouts can only be found from this.

A secret base.
