Red Moon Returns

Lin Qi was in a daze for a moment.

It was difficult for him to describe what he saw.

The long green river flows slowly, with no beginning or end. Countless green flames floated and swayed on the surface of the river, and faint cries and heart-rending screams came from the depths of the long river. The faint long river seemed to exude an unparalleled attraction, which was terrifying. But it is full of mystery, making people want to join in it unconsciously and become one with the river.

Wandering aimlessly, Lin Qi didn't know how much time had passed. Time had lost its meaning here. There was no difference between one second and hundreds of millions of years. Lin Qi was wandering like this, even his spirit became more and more numb and sluggish, until he reached the point between his eyebrows. There was a sharp pain.

"Hot, hot, hot."

Lin Qi jumped up with a cry and rubbed the center of his eyebrows that were reddened by the cigarette rod. Then he realized that he had returned to the dark secret room. The red-haired lady was holding the cigarette rod in her mouth and looking at him at close range. A faint smell of stale items drifted into his nose along the fiery red hair.

"Are you awake?" Mrs. Bessie's eyes flickered, staring into Lynch's eyes, and raised a finger, "What day is this?"

"……fifteen?"

"I have become a fool. It seems that I need to use a thirty-pound ceremony..."

"One, yes one."

laugh.

The red-haired lady smiled contemptuously, with an expression like "I can't cure you yet": "It seems that your mental recovery is okay, and you are not lost on the other side. Yes, but if you don't want to leave permanent trauma, you should take care of everything you just saw as soon as possible. forget."

"What are those things?" the question blurted out, and then he realized that the other party did not know what he saw, "I saw..."

"Stop, I don't want to know, thank you." Mrs. Bessie glared at Lynch and said angrily, "You actually want to repeat this kind of thing to me. Why don't you describe the image of the evil god to me? Do you think you didn’t kill me last time or do you think it’s a pity that I recovered?”

"Huh? You want to hear from the evil god? By coincidence, I just have it."

"I don't want to!" Mrs. Bessie moved her cigarette rod and seemed to have difficulty resisting the urge to hit Lynch on the head. However, she finally relented and explained, "Theoretically, you should have peeked into the underworld. The river flows on the boundary between this world and the other side, crossing the strange river of life and death. What flows in the River Styx is not water, but the fire of the soul. All the dead must cross the River Styx to wash away the fire of the soul after death. , the soul can cross the River Styx and enter the kingdom of Hades, returning to eternal sleep. If you just lost and unconsciously broke into the River Styx, you will never come back, because although God of Hades has fallen now, everything is still there. Its operation is not affected, and as soon as it enters the River Styx, it embarks on the road to the other side.”

"There really is a god of the underworld." Lin Qi was stunned, "Then my power of death is not competing with him for divine power?"

"Don't you think about why he is called the God of Hades and not the God of Death? His exclusive divine power should be the kingdom of the dead rather than death. The power of death is scattered in the hands of several different gods. As far as I know, at least Mother Earth Kaia, Nyx, the goddess of night, Shireen, the lord of the sea, Fiona, the lord of suffering, and Luna, the red moon lady you follow, all share part of the power of death. Oh, by the way, Tyr, the lord of war. It seems to have been shared, but I’m not sure.”

"What is exclusive divine right?"

This was the first time that a professional mystic was willing to explain theological knowledge to Lynch. The key was that he could explain it clearly and not have as many taboos as believers of the Lord God, so Lynch listened very carefully.

"Each main god will have at least one exclusive main divine power, usually their title, such as the craftsman and the craftsman of the Lord of Fire, the blazing sun of the Sun Lord, the joy of the joyful maiden, in addition to the main power, other powers It’s all shared with other gods.”

"Huh? What if someone brings together a certain shared power and turns it into a single exclusive power?"

"It's impossible. No god can do such a thing, let alone an evil god or even a human being."

"I mean what if, what if."

"That means the birth of a new god." The red-haired lady glanced at Lynch, "For example, if you concentrate all the power of Money Fan on yourself, you will be the new Lord of Money Fan."

"Huh? Do you really have the power of a money addict?"

"That's aggregation and greed, but you have to conceptually rob the authority of another god first, and there will be more than one, and you will be besieged by all the gods. And you are only a mortal."

‘Neighbor, is this okay? Does this mean that if I continue like this, I don’t need to occupy your divine power, and I will have the opportunity to reach the highest level? ’

[Lynch, I said, you don’t need to worry about my whereabouts, I have my own arrangements. 】

‘Whether I worry about you or not is my business. It has nothing to do with you. Take a good look at your scenery and don’t affect my choice. ’

There is no voice in my mind, I hope it's not trying to figure out how to kill me with the red moon. Lynch stopped delving into the issue of divine authority and followed the impatient red-haired lady out of the secret room.

"Are you sure you've learned it?"

As soon as I returned to the prop shop, the weird atmosphere in the secret room was immediately gone, and even the dim light of the gas lamp felt a lot warmer. After hearing Mrs. Bessie's question, Lynch remembered the business. He closed his eyes and felt quietly that there were two more light spots in the soul image besides the light ball representing the power of death.

The ability Death Prediction inspired by the battle with the twisted body, and the newly learned ability Death Resonance.

Death foreknowledge is a very good ability. It will instinctively predict the location and time of the next fatal attack, but it is probabilistic, which means it can only be regarded as a surprise and cannot be completely relied on.

As for the ability of dying resonance, after the experience just now, Lynch always felt that the light spot was gloomy, which made him shudder.

"Well, it's true, the eight pounds was not wasted."

"Of course, I never sell fakes."

"Well? The statue just now?"

"Oh, I usually don't sell fakes." The red-haired lady changed her words with confidence, exhaled a column of smoke at Lynch, and said lazily, "Is there anything else you want to spend money on?"

This reminded Lynch: "Do you have the resurrection grass here? I want to buy some as a backup."

Then he found that the red-haired lady was looking at him with the eyes of an evil god.

What's the situation, that thing is not for sale?

Mrs. Bessie asked with admiration: "Do you know what that is?"

"It is a herb that stabilizes the will and fights against filth."

"That thing comes from the New World. It can only grow in the barren Soul Wilderness. The effect is indeed good, but the annual output is too low. Because of that thing, the Soul Wilderness has become the most fiercely contested place for pioneering teams from various countries. Every year, large-scale armed conflicts break out there in the seven major countries in order to occupy a larger area of ​​soul-returning grass. In fact, it is not expensive, only twenty pounds."

"One kilogram or one pound?"

"...One gram, and this price is just a simple number, which has no meaning, because it is difficult for you to find the source of goods. Anyway, I can't find it here. If I have a gram of spare, it is a strategic material to save my life. How can I sell it?"

Lin Qi's mouth twitched. He found that he was really arrogant. He even tried to try what Miss Valente used daily.

"You don't have to have that expression. There is a lower-level substitute for it, the tranquilizing flower. Normal people use this. It is cheaper, only five pounds for one hundred grams."

"Do you have any misunderstanding about the word cheap?" Lin Qi was sweating coldly when he heard it.

"Do you have any misunderstandings about the mysterious material?"

"Well, I really do."

He was heartbroken, but he still had to spend the money. However, when he saw that 100 grams of Ningshen Flower was made into a large bag like loose tobacco, the full appearance made Lynch feel satisfied. However, Mrs. Bessie was about to hand it over, but she took her hand back.

"This thing is more effective when your willpower is stronger, so most soul-distracted people don't use it much, because it has a poor effect on them, and often their willpower collapses before they can use it. If you think this is useful, it means that your willpower is good, then I recommend you a matching strange item."

As he said, he took out an ancient and simple pipe from the counter.

It was not the long women's pipe that Mrs. Bessie took, but a men's pipe similar to that used by some detectives. The surface was brown and yellow, and it flashed with a mysterious luster.

【Lawrence's pipe, the legendary investigator Lawrence smoked a pipe, faced the evil god again and again and returned safely, until lung disease took his life. 】

"Your inspiration is really exaggerated. That's right, Lawrence's pipe is a horror-level wonder. Using it to burn various mysterious materials will increase the effect by 50%. It also has sobering and calming functions, which can help users think calmly and get rid of the fear brought by filth. The containment method is also very simple. Use essential oils to maintain it once a day, otherwise it will go out of control and cause people around to suffer from insomnia for at least a month."

Hiss, this is a good thing. Lin Qi was immediately tempted.

The effect is indeed tempting, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that it is handsome. It is handsome and effective, which is perfect, but this is recommended by the profiteer in front of him, and Lin Qi's heart is full of ominous premonitions.

"Cheap, I have cheap goods here, don't worry." The red-haired lady's eyes were almost narrowed into a slit, "With the tranquilizing flower, it's twenty pounds for you. Ah, I'll give you five grams of cold fragrance flowers to calm your emotions, Qingxin grass to improve concentration, and dreaming leaves to make your mind disperse and your will trance for trial. If the effect is good, remember to buy from me next time."

As she said that, without waiting for Lynch to refuse, she had already helped him pack the things skillfully, and smiled as she pushed them across the counter and handed them to Lynch.

Wait, is there something wrong?

Twenty pounds of strange objects and herbs, eight pounds of ritual materials, and ten and a half pounds of mysterious documents. Lynch counted on his fingers for a long time, and realized that after a round of shopping, the fifty pounds that made him proud and proud were now only a little more than ten pounds.

At this moment, Lynch only felt that the smile on the red-haired lady's face was so evil. Lynch felt heartbroken, dropped the twenty-pound note, hugged the package and ran away, leaving a leisurely thank you for your patronage far behind.

It's too dark. I won't come here again if I don't have money.

But it's worth it. Lynch touched the paper bag that smelled of grass and smiled with satisfaction. He hurried back to No. 221 Villa Street before it got dark, ready to have fun with the luxury goods he bought.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Maggie in an apron followed by a little follower. The mother and daughter were busy preparing dinner in and out of the kitchen. When she saw Lynch, Mrs. Maggie immediately smiled warmly.

"Is your leg okay? Ha, that's good. Dinner will be ready soon. You can go upstairs and rest for a while. By the way, Natalie came to see you just now. She was very serious. When she heard that you hadn't come back, she seemed a little disappointed and left."

Hmm?

"Did she say anything else? When should I go to see her again?"

"No, she didn't say anything, just said she knew, and then left."

Something's wrong.

Lin Qi's heart immediately hung in the air.

She came to my house right after we separated, but she couldn't wait, so she left immediately, and she was very serious, there must be something urgent, and it's very important.

But why didn't she leave a message, was she hesitating whether to continue asking me for help?

Something was out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong.

The more Lin Qi thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and left.

"I'm going to the square in front of the station, don't wait for me for dinner."
