Red Moon Returns

"Fortunately, safe."

There are several giant rocks standing on the beach on the shore. A sound is coming from the shadow of the rocks, which is particularly clear on the quiet beach.

Following the sound, a figure moved in the shadows.

Huddled in the shadows were four ordinary people, all wearing sturdy clothes made of coarse cloth. They lay carefully on the beach, facing the sea, and their voices were kept low when talking.

It was the voice of a man, not very old, with a strong nasal voice unique to Randers, much like a native of the Rhine.

"Then lie down and don't be careless. They won't give us a second chance." This time it was a woman who muttered in a low voice.

"Don't worry, it'll be okay." Another young man's voice said, "But will those people really come?"

"Definitely, the news is absolutely reliable." The woman's voice was very serious. "Remember, these people are very scary. We must be extremely careful and must not be discovered, otherwise we will be completely ruined."

"There's no one outside. It's so late. How could there be people hanging out on the beach blowing the wind? You're too nervous." The last man whispered, "There's no one else here at all. I don't believe someone will suddenly jump out and kill me." Pressed into the sand... Plop."

Then, the other three people saw in horror that a foot suddenly appeared out of thin air, stepped heavily on their companion's head, pressed his face into the sand, and even crushed his head several times with his toes.

"ah!"

The short scream was blocked as soon as it came out. The other three people, through the faint moonlight, suddenly discovered that a black gun was pointing at them. They were so frightened that they did not dare to help the one who was still struggling in the sand. The companions just raised their hands at the same time, lying on the ground and not daring to move or say a word.

However, the woman among them immediately raised her head again, stared at the person who suddenly appeared, and whispered in surprise: "Mr. Lynch Levy? Why is it you?"

"Yeah, I want to know too, why is it you?" Lynch kicked the victim on the hip, kicked him several times, and bumped into his companion. Lynch put away his pistol. He looked around the beach to make sure that no one was moving, then he stared at the woman lying on the ground and snorted coldly, "Did you feel particularly regretful that you didn't die last time, so you want to do it again quickly? You must die completely at once. You feel relaxed physically and mentally now, Miss Maya.”

Yes, one of the four people hiding in the shadows is the female reporter Maya who was rescued by Lynch not long ago.

Lin Qi had already touched behind the rock just now, preparing to eavesdrop on the identities of these people. When he heard the woman's voice, he immediately recognized her. At that time, he realized that he might have had a misunderstanding, and felt his head was spinning. I had no choice but to go back and fulfill a young man's beautiful wish.

"You are dressed like this... so you are just wandering around on the beach and others see you?" Lin Qi gritted his teeth angrily, "I worked so hard to save you just to prevent you from sleeping at home in the middle of the night. You scared me on the beach, right?”

"Shh, shh, it's not what you think, Mr. Detective, let me explain." The female reporter hurriedly waved her hand, signaling for Lynch to lie down and hide, and then explained, "It's just because someone saw a strange person that we We dress like this and squat here, so that even if we are discovered, they may be ignored as their accomplices. We need to see with our own eyes what those people are doing so that we can have credibility when reporting."

Are you going so crazy for the news that you even risk your life?

The blood vessels in Lin Qi's forehead were beating fast. He felt that these reporters were specialized in treating hypotension. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you know what you are going to report? You just came here in the middle of the night to squat, you..."

"I know."

"Huh?" Lin Qi frowned.

The female reporter lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "It's a pirate."

Tsk, it turns out that you think they are pirates, so no wonder you dare to come and guard here. Wait, no, pirates and normal people don’t dare to come for interviews.

"You think you can't die soon enough, right? Little Martha is still waiting for you to find jobs for her little bastard friends. Who will help her if you die?"

Lin Qi clenched his cane tightly, wanting to swing it one at a time, especially this Maya. I already knew I wouldn't care about you. However, these reporters were probably like this. Lynch quickly calmed down, opened the concentric conch so that Miss Valente on the other side could hear it, and then said angrily:

"That group of things is probably far more terrifying than ordinary pirates. Ms. Maya, especially you, should know exactly what I am talking about. I came here specifically for them. Now tell me clearly, what is going on with you?"

"In the past few days, people have frequently witnessed a group of strange fishermen coming and going around here. Some people also saw a giant octopus near the estuary, so I took the initiative to ask for an interview." The female reporter was not prepared for Lin Qi at all. When explaining, the two Her eyes gleamed with excitement, which made Lynch realize that the encounter half a month ago did not frighten her at all, "The news we received is that this is a group of pirates, and the Molai that was silent in the nearby waters a few days ago The cargo ship of Er and Sons Company may be related to them."

A deep diver and a murloc become a pirate? It seems surprisingly appropriate. Lynch nodded thoughtfully: "Continue."

"It is said that the Dock Workers' Association and the Sailors' Union may have connections with them, and they may even be found by these two unions. What passers-by see at night is that they are in contact with each other, and there may be cargo transportation." The female reporter lowered her voice and said angrily, "Just think about it, if pirates robbed our Rhine cargo ship and then transferred the stolen goods to the Rhine official agencies, it would be a huge scandal. This kind of thing must not be tolerated. My intelligence said that they may be in contact nearby, so we came here in advance to wait."

"Alas, you are really not afraid of death."

"For big news, there is no way to avoid taking risks." Maya smiled indifferently, "Mr. Detective, are those also very dangerous things, just like Elder Nicolae and the others?"

"Mr. Lynch." Miss Valente's voice suddenly came from the concentric conch, "I have come into contact with this dockworkers association."

"Huh?"

"They once approached me, or more precisely, the Valente family, wanting to work together to stop the railway project."

Lynch remembered that Miss Valente had mentioned this before. Could it be that because the Valente family refused their alliance, they asked the pirates for help?

If it is true, then it is not just a problem of conflict between cultists. Bringing in foreign enemies to attack the city is a very dangerous thing in any era.

But if it is to introduce foreign enemies, the pirates should not be allowed to be so ostentatious, and even go to the city to find trouble with the Yellow Apostles. That is too arrogant, or are they not coming to attack the city but for other purposes?

"No matter what, you must leave first. Those things are very dangerous. Your life safety cannot be guaranteed if you stay here. I will send you away. You...hiss."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Qi heard the sound of waves breaking the sea water in the distance, followed by a strange chanting sound coming from the sea.

Many sounds gathered together, with a chaotic and crazy power, making the people who heard it feel panic and nausea.

"Father in the deep sea, we respect you as holy, may your name be passed down through the ages, may your kingdom come, may your will be carried out in this world, just as it is carried out in R'lyeh."

"la, la, Cthulhu, fh tag nl."

"la, la, Cthulhu, fh tag nl."

Along with the neat and strange chanting, several figures came on the waves in the dark sea.

It's over, I can't leave, forget it, I'm here.
