The red moon returns

Chapter 68 Will you beat me again?
  "Ha, this cat is so beautiful. I haven't seen it nearby before. It must be new here." The landlord, Mrs. Maggie, smiled and opened the door.

"yes……"

Lin Qi looked back at the direction where the black cat disappeared. He saw that it was a domestic cat with a collar around its neck. He also asked Ms. Luna that it was a pet cat, but Lin Qi always felt it was strange. , but couldn’t tell what the problem was.

It was as if the cat was deliberately spying on him.

Forget it, it's nothing more than a stupid cat.

Lynch shook his head to get rid of the random thoughts in his mind, followed Mrs. Maggie into the house, naturally took Mrs. Maggie's vegetable basket and helped her carry it into the kitchen.

There was actually meat in the basket. Although it was just minced pork, it weighed two pounds. A large ball was wrapped in oil paper. The red and white color made Lynch excited.

The cheapest pound of pork costs ten pence, and mincemeat costs nine pence, which is much more expensive than white bread.

I have lived a hard and simple life for several days since time travel, and have only eaten a few slices of bacon. My memory of orthodox meat is still the decapitation meal I ate in the restaurant before hanging myself. The fat and water in my stomach are almost gone. The hiccups left only the smell of dry bread.

"A little thanks. The food last night and this morning is really... thank you." Mrs. Maggie also walked to Lynch, lowered her head to sort the food in the basket, her cheeks were slightly red, and her voice was quite low, "Thank you very much." Thank you for that."

"Thank me for beating Martha?"

"I doted on her so much that I never thought she would do those bad things. If you hadn't taught her a lesson yesterday and let her continue like this, she might not have made any big mistakes." The blond lady lowered her head and held the vegetable basket. , body trembling slightly, "But I went to the security station in the King's District today and was kicked out by the police. They said there were no such cases at all and asked me not to cause trouble and cause them trouble. I don't know what to do now. "

"It's not a bad thing that no one will hold her accountable. Just guide her well in the future and let her take the right path. As for compensating the victim, let's think of other ways."

"Well, since Duncan left, I don't understand many things. It's true that no one told her what is right." Tears fell down her cheeks. The blond lady suddenly raised her head, held Lynch's hand hard, and said with choked sobs, " Mr. Leviv, thank you for educating her for me. You are a well-educated person. If you have the opportunity in the future, please help Masha more. She is not a bad child, but no one guides her."

Phew, Lin Qi felt a burst of smoke coming from his head.

Even though he has been a human being for two lifetimes, he has never experienced this kind of contact.

Being held by the beautiful landlady and feeling the warmth coming from the palm of her hand, Lin Qi felt her face was hot. She subconsciously pulled her hand away, took a few steps back and almost knocked over the chair. She even stuttered when speaking. .

"I understand. I'm going back to my room first. No, I'm going to see Martha first. I'm leaving."

Speaking incoherently, Lin Qi turned around and ran away. He was frightened by the chuckle coming from behind. When he left the kitchen, he bumped into the door frame. His eyes were blinded by the collision, and he only had one thought in his mind.

This world is so scary. Not only cats are scary, but women are also so dangerous.

However, being panicked, politeness was still a must. With Mrs. Maggie's permission, Lynch knocked on Martha's door.

The room is small but cozy. On the wardrobe in the corner, a brass lamp holder protrudes from the wall, emitting dim light. As soon as Lynch entered the door, he saw the little girl lying on the bed in her pajamas, with her feet crossed and looking bored.

When he saw Lin Qi coming in, his little face immediately turned pale. He raised a pillow to cover the back of his head, pretending that there was no one here.

Lin Qi laughed out loud when he saw this position. It seemed that his attack was quite heavy, and his butt was already swollen and he could not lie down flat.

As if he heard laughter, two small eyes appeared under the pillow, and he glared at him fiercely, muttering: "Humph, what's so funny, I told my mother all the bad things, and now I'm not afraid of you anymore. "

"Really?" Lin Qi raised his hand.

The little girl immediately threw down the pillow, covered her butt and screamed: "Don't hit me, I was wrong, I was wrong, I can't hit you anymore."

"I think you just deserve a beating." Lin Qi snorted coldly and sat down on the chair next to him. "Does it still hurt?" "It hurts."

"That's right. If it hurts, you will remember it. Let's see if you dare to do bad things next time."

The little girl covered her butt and said aggrievedly: "But I don't understand. It's obviously good for everyone, why can't I do it?"

Lynch hesitated for a moment, sighed and said: "I am not a fanatical person who loves justice, and I don't know much about the conflicts between the residents of the King's District and people outside, so I am not qualified to evaluate your behavior, but in any case, take away others Your property is wrong. Even if the comments you hear from the people around you make you feel that they are also taking your things, this is not a reason for you to behave in the same way. They are wrong, but it does not mean that you can also be wrong. . And no matter what the reason is, taking advantage of other people's kindness to harm others is the worst behavior. It will only make everyone afraid to show kindness to you anymore, and in the end it will be you who suffer."

"Oh... But what about those children? If I don't organize them, they will soon return to their previous appearance."

"Let's try to restrain ourselves during this period of time," Lin Qi thought for a while, "I will also think of ways during this period of time. Uncle, I have actually come into contact with a few big shots. I can't meddle in the affairs of those who are too far away, but I can help a group of people around me. It’s not too difficult for the kids.”

"Really? Then let me ask them to be honest during this period. You are not allowed to lie." The girl's smart eyes poked out from under the pillow again, with the cunningness she had seen in the past few days, and there was an unknown sound in her voice. Why is there more expectation, "So, Uncle Lynch...if I do something wrong again, will you still beat me?"

Um? Is this kid addicted to being beaten?

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows, raised his hand, and showed a ferocious smile: "Of course, from now on, you must obey me no matter what I ask you to do, or I will beat your ass to pieces, and my mother can't protect you, do you hear me?" "

"Ah, you are indeed a perverted and disgusting man. Mom, help me, get him out quickly."

The little guy immediately got under the pillow again and screamed softly. Lin Qi, dumbfounded, punched her little head through the pillow: "Reflect on it. I'll go back upstairs first. Get better soon." , I’m still waiting for you to bring me tea every day.”

"Uncle Lynch." Just before Lynch was about to go out, little Martha's childish voice came from behind. When he turned around, he saw the little guy's big blue eyes staring at him and said seriously, "I know you yesterday You beat me because you are really worried about me. Although I don’t know what dangerous things I did, but... thank you, and I’m sorry about what happened a few days ago.”

"It depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will beat you often in the future."

Lynch took off his peaked cap and waved to the little girl, and left the children's room with a smile. The fate of this little thing is still very bumpy, and he doesn't know how long it will be safe. I hope it can last longer, otherwise it will be very difficult for Mrs. Maggie. The blow was too great.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the kitchen, Lynch didn't bother him anymore and returned to his room on the second floor alone. He looked at the dim sky outside the window, turned on the gas lamp on the wall, leaned on the sofa and turned on the light from Maya's small room. Several folk myths and stories brought back from the cabin.

There are actually stories about ghouls, and some books even have pictures printed on them, but they are all weird and nothing like them.

They are a group of monsters that feed on corpses. They are terrifying nightmares hidden in sewers or underground tunnels. If mutilated corpses are found in these places, most of them are victims of accidentally running into ghouls.

In one of the books, Lynch saw a piece of information that was of particular concern, but the description was extremely vague.

The King of Ghastly Bones, the worshiped object of all ghouls.

It also has another name for humans, Mordiggian.

"Dangdangdang."

Before Lynch could wake up from his surprise, there was a knock on the door. Lynch guessed that it was Mrs. Maggie who came to serve dinner.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was indeed Mrs. Maggie, but it had nothing to do with dinner.

"Detective Leviv, you have a customer who would like to visit you."

The first customer arrived.
