Red Moon Returns

Lin Qi sat on the bed, staring blankly at the rising sun outside the window, feeling extremely disappointed.

He didn't sleep well last night and had several dreams overnight.

Well, this is inevitable. After all, the experience yesterday evening was a bit too exciting for his age and experience. He was too nervous at the time and didn't feel anything. It was only after he fell asleep that the feeling came to his mind, making him dream of many incredible scenes.

Especially the last dream before waking up just now, it was really intense...

No, what am I thinking about.

After slapping himself lightly, Lin Qi got up and made the bed.

The bedding was very clean and smelled of sunshine. Even though he had seen what this smell was in his previous life, he still liked to smell it.

The room was also very clean. Mrs. Maggie would clean it every day, which was included in the one and a half pound meal fee, but Lin Qi preferred to clean it himself, which would make him feel at home.

It was just after seven o'clock, and the time was just right. It was time to start running for life.

The five-pound note was rolled up and stuffed into the inner pocket of the suit, and the remaining one-pound note and a dozen shilling coins were put into the purse. The passion of the fiery lady was hidden in the pocket of the windbreaker. Finally, she carefully checked the watchman's letter of introduction, and then she picked up her cane and left the room.

"Good morning, Mr. Leviev."

As soon as he went down the stairs, he saw Mrs. Maggie sticking her head out of the kitchen, showing a gentle smile. She looked weak, but thinking of her fierceness and madness yesterday, Lynch always felt a little cold on his back

"Please sit down for a while, breakfast will be ready soon. I haven't mastered your living habits yet, so I don't know what time to prepare breakfast for you. Fortunately, it's not too early."

Ah, I almost forgot, I will have breakfast in the future, so happy.

Lynch sat down at the dining table, thinking of the desolation when he was looking for broken bread yesterday, and couldn't help sighing that this is life.

"Breakfast is usually bread, sometimes with butter, sometimes with eggs, and every day with jam and coffee, just daily food, I hope you don't mind. By the way, the coffee is already brewed, in the pot, you can pour it yourself."

Lynch nodded, thinking of yesterday's experience when pouring coffee, he wanted to laugh a little. Mrs. Maggie must have thought of the same thing, her face was a little red and she turned around to continue to look after the oven.

There was today's newspaper on the dining table, and Lynch opened it.

"Rhine City Investigator", although I always felt that this name was full of malice and ominous, Lynch still flipped through it quickly.

There is nothing mysterious about it. Come to think of it, if it is so easy for ordinary people to see it, there is no need to call it mysterious.

The case of the Randall family did not last even a day. The hot topic in the newspapers now is the tour of Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia of the Rose Family and the construction of the Best Tunnel, especially the construction of the tunnel. It is said that the mountain people of Best Mountain are afraid of new things such as trains and rails, and they are desperately trying to stop the progress of the times. They have instigated several strikes and are said to have caused many sabotage incidents, even causing deaths.

After breakfast, Lynch waved his hat to Mrs. Maggie and said goodbye, and went straight to the Crown District.

It is only separated from the King District by the Land River, which can be reached in half an hour on foot, but the situation is very different. On one side is the dilapidated old city, and on the other side is the prosperous city center.

The Crown Plaza, with the Governor's Mansion and the Municipal Building as the dual core, is located in the center of the Crown District, surrounded by gorgeous and ostentatious Victorian-style buildings. Among these buildings, the four Gothic churches are particularly eye-catching.

They are also the target of Lynch's trip.

The original owner of the body was not a believer and did not know about gods. He only knew that there were still twelve main gods in the world. More than seventy countries around the world chose their own official beliefs.

For example, the official beliefs of the Kingdom of Rand are four: Tina, the Lord of Wealth, Fiona, the Lord of Suffering, Nix, the Lord of the Night, and Phil, the Lord of Fire and Craftsmen. These official beliefs have churches built in major cities in the country, while other unofficial beliefs can only build chapels, which are much smaller in scale and influence.

However, Lynch is not very interested in these beliefs.

It is not that he insists on atheism. He has encountered evil gods and he will not doubt the main gods, but he only believes in their existence. As a newcomer, it is impossible to have faith.

Therefore, the goal of today's visit is soul alienation. It is best to find a feasible direction. If you can't find it, at least you have to figure out where your way out is.

However, when he approached the Crown Square, he realized that he might have come to the wrong place today.

It was just half past eight in the morning, but thousands of people had gathered in the square, not only occupying most of the square, but also making the surrounding roads extremely crowded, seriously hindering the traffic around the square.

Thousands of strong men, wearing blue coarse cloth uniforms, holding high slogans and banners, gathered in the square, their rough voices mixed together, shouting angrily. There was also a large group of onlookers outside, blocking the square tightly.

"We want to eat too!"

"We want tunnels, we want business!"

"Once the train starts, gold will come!"

"Punish the mountain people who destroyed the project!"

"Punish the murderer!"

Without asking others, Lin Qi also realized what these people were doing, muttering to himself: "Demonstration, against the Best Tunnel reported in the newspaper, it seems to put pressure on the city government to crack down on the mountain people who made trouble, but I don't know who these people are."

In fact, he just wanted to harass his travel companion in his mind, but he muttered it out loud inadvertently, and who knew that he immediately received a response from the side: "Railway workers, at least on the surface they are railway workers, wearing railway workers' uniforms. It's not a demonstration, just a protest, just like you said, to put pressure on the government. It doesn't matter if they make trouble, don't choose now, it will delay things."

Lin Qi was stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw a strange old man being pushed and squeezed by the crowd nearby, and he also looked helpless.

The old man was at least sixty or seventy years old, wearing a loose home clothes, with a wide-brimmed hat covering half of his face, but he was more conspicuous among a group of formal gentlemen. He had a ruddy face and looked energetic, but his voice was a little anxious. It seemed that like Lin Qi, he was also trapped by the crowded crowd and was in a dilemma.

"Good morning, old man." Since he couldn't squeeze through anyway, Lynch simply chatted with the old man, "Are you going to the church across the street too?"

"Yes, I'm in a hurry to go to the Black Night Church. I'm going to be late for a prayer meeting." The old man sighed helplessly, "You're going there too? You don't seem to be in a hurry at all. Do you have a way to get there quickly?"

"Yes, set a fire on the spot and make sure everyone is scared away. But it's estimated that half of the people will be trampled to death. Maybe you and I are among them, so keep squeezing." Lynch shrugged and said, "What's going on in the Best Tunnel? Isn't it just a railway?"

"It's very complicated, involving a lot of problems, and it's hard to explain." The old man glanced at Lynch, shook his head and said nothing more.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, Lynch shrugged, tried his best to help the old man block some of the people around him, and squeezed forward together.

One meter, two meters... After squeezing for more than ten meters, the front seemed to be a little loose, and a gentle female voice suddenly sounded in my mind.

[A strange object appears within the perception range, William's holiday surprise, I will do my best to exchange for the innocent smiles of the children. ]

Hmm? What's going on?

Lynch subconsciously looked around. There were too many people and it was difficult to find anything unusual.

"What's wrong?" The old man next to him saw that his movements were a bit strange.

"Nothing, I just felt something was wrong." Lynch was puzzled and asked subconsciously, "Old man, what do holiday surprises generally refer to? Something that can make children happy."

"There are too many, gifts, candies, games, um, and fireworks."

Fireworks?

Lynch suddenly felt a chill on his back.

If fireworks explode in this environment, wouldn't it be more serious than setting a fire?

Is someone going to make trouble, or is he like me who occasionally carries strange objects?

Is there such a coincidence?

His heart was hanging, and Lynch subconsciously looked around.

He didn't want to be blown up or trampled to death for no reason. Now he had nowhere to run.

My perception distance is three meters. I suddenly sensed the strange object just now, which means it is more likely to be in the direction I am moving, and not far away, in front, in front...

Fortunately, the front is a little loose. Lin Qi took two quick steps forward to make his vision wider. Then he saw a passerby one meter away suddenly took out a box wrapped in colored paper and ribbons, pulled the ribbon open, and his hand had already clasped the lid of the box.

It was him.

Seeing that the other party was about to open the lid of the box, Lin Qi made up his mind, took a step forward, swung his cane and smashed it from behind.

Bang, hit the shoulder.

In fact, he was aiming at the head, but he closed his eyes and smashed it off.

The other party was hit without any preparation, screamed, and the box in his hand fell to the ground.

Lynch's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously reached out his hand, but he was too late to do anything. He could only watch the box fall to the ground, and the lid became looser and looser.

Snap, the box fell into a pair of hands just before it hit the ground, and the lid was pressed tightly.

The person who caught the box was the old man next to him just now. The old man's movements were much more flexible than Lynch's. Not only did he catch the box lightly, but he also kicked the man who took out the box.

"I see you look nervous, as if you have found something dangerous."

The old man stepped on the man who fell to the ground:

"Is this it?"

Huh, Lynch let out a long breath, and a female voice confirmed in his mind, and he finally smiled.

"Yes, fortunately you acted quickly, it is it..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by several roars, and explosions suddenly came from several other directions of the Crown Plaza at the same time.

For a moment, flames rose, smoke shrouded, and roars continued.

The square was quiet for a moment, and then screams of fear rang out.

Amid the screams, thousands of people fled frantically in all directions.

Lin Qi sighed deeply. It was a pleasant morning. I hope I won't be trampled to death.

However, the next moment, he felt that someone was pulling him up by his arm and hanging him on the street lamp.

It was the old man just now. One hand was hanging on the street lamp, and the other hand was holding him. He showed a helpless expression to him.

"Fortunately, at least we don't have to worry about being late. Their prayer meeting will be postponed."

"Huh? Why postponed?"

"Their bishop is not here, so it can't be held."

"Where is their bishop?"

"Hanging on the street lamp."
