Red Moon Returns

"Why is this kid here again?"

On the first floor of the apartment, the hardworking Mrs. Maggie wiped her wet hands on her apron and walked towards the door of the apartment with dissatisfaction. As soon as she saw the bow dangling outside the kitchen window, she knew something was wrong.

"Wait."

Before she could go over to open the door, a hand patted her shoulder from behind and pulled her back, and then a broad back rushed to the front to block her:

"This child may bring trouble, you step back first, leave this to me."

"Yeah."

The response from behind was a bit strange, causing Lynch to look back in confusion, and found that the landlady followed behind him with her head down, but her cheeks were a little red, and her eyes seemed to be shining with water.

It was Lynch who rushed over, followed by two ladies.

He has realized the problem. There is no coincidence in the mysterious world. This bear child was looking for a real mysterious ritual last time, and this time he suddenly wanted to rent a house alone against common sense. If this can ignore the possibility of a connection between the two, it would be too unworthy of the more than 40 days of time travel life.

Lynch suspected that the naughty kid had some trouble because of the mysterious ritual, so he behaved inappropriately. Mrs. Maggie and Little Martha were both survivors of mysterious events, and it was easy for them to find mysterious events. It was a bit too dangerous to let them contact this person casually.

But this reaction was a bit wrong, inexplicably, women are really strange.

With a dry cough, straightened his tie, Lynch clenched his cane, and then opened the door. The busy Villa Street and Charles Square appeared in front of him.

Very good, there is no impulse to rush out and bite people, and the recovery is very good. You don’t need a leash when you go out.

Everything is normal, only the little girl is still peeking around stealthily. When she saw Lynch open the door, she wanted to run, but she wanted to come over, and her hesitation was quite obvious.

Lynch snorted secretly and waved to the other party. The girl hesitated for a moment and ran over immediately.

"Shut up."

Seeing the girl running over and about to speak, Lynch immediately stopped her. The landlady and Little Martha were behind her, and she couldn't let her speak casually.

Because the establishment of mysterious connections often does not require any substantial actions, and often only requires a sentence or even an idea, and the connection has been quietly established. Just like the request to rent a house just now, once you nod and agree, you may establish a weak connection with the mystery, and then be quietly eroded by the mystery.

After looking the girl up and down, it seems that there is no heavy mysterious filth on her body, and the inspiration did not see anything strange. Lynch was slightly relieved and walked into the apartment with the little girl.

The two ladies had something else to do, so they took the opportunity to leave. Lynch took the little girl directly to the second floor and closed the door of the living room tightly.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Sir, I just want to rent a house, I..."

"I don't have time to act with children. You and I both know that I have recognized you, so either get straight to the point or leave immediately. No matter what problem you encounter, I will never let you live in."

The little girl bit her lip, took out the business card that Lin Qi had given her before, and suddenly burst into tears, grabbing Lin Qi's wrist, trembling like a leaf in the wind:

"Help me, sir, there is a strange thing following me, my friends are almost scared crazy, and they dare not talk to me. Woo, I want to ask you to help me solve it, but I'm afraid you will refuse, so I want to live in and hide, you can protect me here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't mean to hurt anyone, please help me, I'm going crazy, I don't want to die, woo woo."

The ignorant are fearless.

Die for death, what have you done before, I haven't reminded you.

Seeing the little girl shivering like a leaf in the wind, Lynch really couldn't sympathize with her. The greatest kindness was to swallow back a sentence that she deserved it.

But seeing her desperately grabbing his hand, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw, Lynch still softened his heart.

After all, this child is just stupid, not bad, and she is not innocent to die of stupidity, but watching indifferently from the side, it is still a bit psychologically uncomfortable.

Let's listen to the situation first.

Lynch sighed, and he couldn't help his softness. He handed over a handkerchief to comfort her a few words, and let the little girl sob and tell the details.

The girl's name is Monia, the daughter of Sir Lister of the Ministry of Finance, and she comes from a very wealthy family.

There were several soul-distracted people in the ancestors of the Lister family, but the two or three generations were ordinary people. After several batches of family members died, they gradually disconnected from the mysterious world, but some family stories were still preserved.

For example, the library of knowledge, the dwarf steam workshop, and the witch gathering.

Monia became curious about the mysterious world after reading these stories. With her family's wealth and pocket money comparable to the middle-class salary and the ability to ask for more, she actually learned a lot of mysterious knowledge from many messy places. Fortunately, they were all low-level and nothing happened.

Especially after going to school, a group of young girls got together and tried various mysterious rituals unscrupulously for fun under the trend of curiosity. Although they were basically fakes that Lin Qi could make up eight in one night, there is a proverb that says that if you walk by the Styx, you will always meet a ghost one day.

After the deal with Lin Qi broke down more than ten days ago, Monia went to the Knowledge Library again. This time, she actually found several handwritten notes in a normal ancient book.

The little girl recognized it at a glance. It was the handwriting of her great-great-grandfather. He was the last soul-changer in the family and the protagonist of most family stories.

Through her notes, she found some fragmentary clues in the family library, and after solving puzzles again and again, she finally found a set of unknown mysterious rituals.

Listening to the little girl's story, Lynch stared at her with squinted eyes, frightening her to the point of stopping.

Reality is not an adventure novel. The artificial traces of this story are too heavy. It is almost like an adventure story tailor-made for a child who does not know the depth. Lynch believes that few children aged 12 or 13 can refuse it. This temptation.

"Don't be afraid, I'm thinking about other things." Realizing that someone might be plotting against Monia, Lynch's tone softened a lot, "You continue to say, after you got the ceremony record, you took it to school to play? "

"Well." The child was the most sensitive. He immediately felt the change in Lin Qi's attitude, and immediately leaned in his direction, his expression even more aggrieved. "The ceremony is very complicated, and there are many incomprehensible spells. We these days It has been held several times, but to no avail. Everyone is a little disappointed and wonders if this is also fake. "

Lin Qi immediately remembered what happened when he first crossed over and the so-called ceremony in the tomb five days ago. He sighed and said, "What effect do you want?"

"At least there should be sound and light effects, or something should pop up."

"This just came out of nowhere, it's just that you were scared to death." Lynch shrugged, "What about after disappointing the fun?"

"Then it stopped, but I started the day before yesterday and found something was wrong."

The little girl swallowed hard, folded her arms and said timidly:

"When it's quiet, I can always hear the sound of sand falling in my ears, and the crawling of insects and mice, but if I look for it, there's nothing. At first, I thought there was something wrong in the school dormitory, but no matter how I walked Yeah, I can hear it whenever it's quiet, as if something invisible is following me."

Lynch touched his chin and looked Moniya up and down, but still didn't find much abnormality.

"What now? Is there still sound?"

"No more." The little girl suddenly became very excited, "I was wandering nearby before, afraid that you would refuse to come in, but about an hour ago, I suddenly found that the sound disappeared when I got close to here, so I wanted to come in. Hiding here.”

Hmm... After counting the time, Lin Qi immediately understood that it should be the effect of the book of purification.

Disaster-level rare objects are quite powerful.

"Only sound?"

"No, the scariest thing is that after I heard the sound, a strange thing happened around me. Several times, things near me suddenly turned into powder. This frightened the classmates, and no one Dare to come near me."

Um?

Lin Qi's face darkened as he realized the problem.

The person who was scolding people outside just now, wasn't it just second-hand clothes that were turned into powder? It seemed like it wasn't someone else's prank at all.

Something was really following her, and it was already nearby.

Anyway, I urgently need to meet with Howard, and I plan to leave him alone for two days. I don’t have anything else to do right now, so why not just accept an order temporarily?

I'm not soft-hearted, I want to exchange for her flashed file.

Yes, that's it.

Lin Qi stood up suddenly and put all the pieces of equipment on his body: "I accepted this commission. Let's go now. Take me to your school. I want to see the ceremony location first. Where is your school?"

"Lilia Women's College."

Um? Girls' high school?
