Red Moon Returns

As usual, the exterior of the mansion is fully controlled by blue uniforms. No one can enter or leave at will, whether by car or on foot.

What's more, inside the mansion, some of the security companies and waiters are police from the Hall of Order controlled by the Rangers. They also form a second line of defense to ensure that the target cannot leave the venue.

This means that Officer Natalie Angell must still be at the venue.

Moreover, professionals have set up tracking information on both of them before. It should not be difficult to find them by following the information.

But after searching for a few times, I found nothing.

Only Lin Qi was sitting in a corner of the venue, holding the cane in his left hand in a strange posture. He was holding a crystal clear wine glass in his right hand and quietly sipping red wine.

The female companion Natalie Angell who had been with him before had disappeared out of thin air. A group of professionals searched for him for ten minutes but in vain.

Where is it?

At this time, the originally determined Ranger Walker and the seventh-level cultist Kelvin could no longer sit still. They kept giving orders in the shadows. With the two as the center, an invisible commotion spread quietly. People lurking among the guests and waiters responded in various ways. For this reason, he started to search for traces of Officer Natalie Angell in every corner of the Earl's Mansion.

Coincidentally, the watchmen's defenses were obviously relaxed. Even the defenses around Lynch were basically withdrawn. The withdrawal was as abrupt as when they appeared, except for occasionally appearing as a tease to cause some trouble for the Rangers. Apart from that, I can no longer feel their movement.

But even so, bad news came back to Walker and Kelvin.

No, no, still no.

"Didn't you set a mark? Why can't you find it? Can a living person disappear out of thin air? Find it for me."

You couldn't see his expression in the darkness, but you could feel the anger in Walker's chest just by listening to his voice.

But it turns out it can.

The Rangers did indeed set tracking messages on the two of them, but the information returned at this time only left Lynch. The other piece of information disappeared most of the time and only surfaced occasionally, but when I followed the information and looked for it, I was led to other invited guests, not the target officer Natalie at all.

Even a cunning cultist like Kelvin was at a loss for the moment. He and Walker looked at each other, confused about Lynch's plan.

What does he want to do? Where did you hide the gem?

Staring at Lin Qi who was leisurely tasting wine in the distance, the two of them clenched their fists for a moment.

"Oh, just tell me if you need help." A sinister voice came out from the shadows behind the two people, "Although these little things are cunning, they still can't escape my control. As long as I take action, I can easily hold them in my hands and help you get the gems back, but that’s my request, hehehe..."

The two of them were not surprised by this, but upon hearing the last request, their faces immediately turned livid. He gritted his teeth and moved his lips, as if silently speaking friendly words. Finally, Walker took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. Said: "We don't need your help for the time being, we can solve it."

"Then I'll wait patiently." The man in the shadow said quietly, "Looking at your hard work, I'll give you a hint. Based on my research on him, his behavior today was wrong from the beginning, and there was definitely something wrong with it. "

"Hiss, you are right. Thanks for reminding me, I have an idea." Kelvin frowned and said, "He wants to deliver the gem publicly. This behavior is understandable, not only for fame, but also to deliver it in front of many witnesses. , can avoid a lot of trouble later, and the relationship with the incident ends here, but he should not be so high-profile. Normally, he should hide the gem in his hands until the princess comes out, but he not only does it. There is no cover up, but he is so high-profile, as if he is afraid that we will not know that the gem is on his body. This behavior is indeed abnormal. "

"Mr. Kelvin." Walker scratched his head in distress, "Just tell me what you think. It won't be more unacceptable than agreeing to his conditions."

"Well, on the one hand, he made no secret that the gem was on him, but on the other hand, he activated the power of the Watcher to prevent your people from approaching for investigation. This is actually a cover-up. In reverse, he is covering up. The fact that the gem is not on him. Now that he realizes that we may have discovered his purpose and knows that he is useless, he starts to keep a low profile, huddled in the corner holding a wine glass and drinking one cup after another to eliminate his own. Sense of presence.”

In the darkness, the elegant Kelvin suddenly punched the relief column and laughed in anger:

"I finally understand, this cunning bastard. His sudden low-key was to give the stage to the disappearing police officer. The police officer's disappearance was the second cover-up. He used disappearance to attract our attention and let us waste our time looking for her. , and the gem may not be with either of them from beginning to end, they are the public bait.”

"That gem..."

"Mr. Walker." Kelvin suddenly interrupted the inquiry and said hurriedly, "How did your men mark those two people, by smell or light effect?"

"Those are too easy to detect and cannot escape the detection of the watchers. The mysterious correlation we use is more complicated, but its concealment and accuracy are very high."

"That's right, it means that the looming target is not a false alarm caused by inaccurate information, but a hidden third related target that emerged after one of the main targets disappeared for unknown reasons." Kelvin showed a ferocious smile and gritted his teeth, "Did those times point to the same target?"

Walker was stunned, called his subordinates over and muttered a few words, then said with a gloomy expression and stiff voice: "It's the same target."

"Who?"

"The Countess from Norin, Diana de Valente, the Soul Forsaken of the Church of Suffering."

"Is it the noble lady who came forward to help Lynch overcome difficulties at the last cocktail party?"

"It's her, damn it, she almost leaked the information about my contact with the Swelling Monastery. Levi got it through this woman, and Inspector Bruno also reminded me of her existence. I shouldn't ignore her. The things must have been brought in secretly by her. Lynch attracted attention to delay time, and she..."

"Dang, dang"

The bell rang over the venue, which was the signal for the official start of the cocktail party.

The door of the mansion slowly opened, and Princess Chloe, who was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, left the mansion and walked towards the garden with the help of her maid. For a moment, all the guests stood up, clapped softly, and greeted Her Royal Highness.

In the crowd, a noble lady in a light green dress held a folding fan and greeted Princess Chloe. It seemed that she wanted to replace the maid who was supporting her and come out with Her Royal Highness to give an opening speech to show the intimacy between the two sides.

The Countess of the Valente family.

This move was not against etiquette, but it attracted everyone's attention. Walker in the dark also pinched the bush hard.

Damn, I fell into a trap. I'm going to fail this time. What should I do?

"Don't worry." Kelvin stared at Miss Valente's every move and said with a sullen face, "With me here, the gem can't escape. As long as she dares to expose the gem to my sight, I can teleport it over. Although there is only one chance and it will inevitably expose our intentions, the success rate is extremely high."

"It all depends on you, Mr. Kelvin."

As he was speaking, Miss Valente had already walked to Chloe's side, whispered a few words, and then took out a small jewelry box from the edge of her skirt and opened it in front of everyone.

"This is the moment I want. I want them to bear this shame in front of everyone and let them be laughed at by everyone, hehe."

In the darkness, Kelvin's vicious laughter came.

The moment the jewelry box was opened, a red light lit up from the box, but the red light was only a flash, and in the blink of an eye, the box became dim.

"Huh."

A low cry came from the direction of Miss Valente. The noble lady looked at the jewelry box in her hand in surprise, and there was nothing in it.

Behind the dark bushes not far away, Kelvin, a believer of the Flash, squinted his eyes and snapped his fingers. Then, a light flashed in the palm of his other hand, and a crimson gem appeared in his hand.

"Haha, I said, the gem can't escape as long as I'm here."

Kelvin smiled reservedly and stretched out his hand holding the gem to Walker:

"Please, our cooperation this time..."

"It went smoothly... No." Walker's face changed immediately after taking the gem, "It's not warm, this gem is fake."

"What?"

"The real gem is warm to the touch, but this one is cold, this thing is a fake." The gap from hope to disappointment made the muscles on Walker's face twisted.

"Impossible." Kelvin also lost his elegance and growled angrily, "How could they have fake gems on them?"

"He must have prepared them in advance, damn it, where did he find such a similar fake?"

The two were furious, and then saw Lynch in the corner finally put down his wine glass reluctantly, glanced at the two people's position intentionally or unintentionally, and then held his cane in a strange posture, and walked towards Princess Chloe calmly.

It's over.

Now Walker and Kelvin knew that they had been fooled. The things were actually still on Lynch, but they were hidden in a special way. Now, he was going to deliver the task.

"Mr. Kelvin." Walker shouted with red eyes, "Can we do it again?"

"Impossible, it consumes too much energy, and there is only one chance." Kelvin hit his forehead in annoyance, "I understand, the fake gem is to trick us out of our trump card, and what he is going to deliver now is the real one."

In an instant, despair and regret filled the hearts of the two, but it was too late to do anything. They could only watch and quickly approach Princess Chloe.

"Pfft, do you need my help, gentlemen? I've said that as long as I want, they can't escape my control. Haha, when they are most proud, I give them a fatal blow, which is also a very interesting story."

"I, I, Ms. Selene, are you sure you can help us get the gem?"

"What do you think? I have our own methods."

On the bench in the dark, a face half covered by a round fan emerged, and charming eyes swept across Walker's face playfully:

"As long as you are willing to pay that price, hehe."

Walker's expression was distorted as if he was stared at by seventeen or eighteen big men. He was about to cry, and finally gritted his teeth: "Then I'll leave it to you, Ms. Selene."

A chuckle came from behind the round fan, and a slender jade hand emerged from the darkness and gently grabbed in the direction of Lynch.
