Red Moon Returns

According to the old gentleman, the Milt family has settled in the town for decades, living in the family mansion on the eastern outskirts of the town. It is said that they are very knowledgeable and are secluded scholars.

When Milt was still alive, he would occasionally go to the town for a stroll. After Milt passed away, only the brother and sister were left in the mansion. They lived in the mansion with an old housekeeper and several servants who had worked for many years. They almost never went out. Only the housekeeper and servants occasionally appeared in the town.

But the two sides were not completely without contact. In recent years, in addition to the fact that every time cattle plague appeared, the younger sister, Ms. Milt, would come forward to help solve it. If the residents of the town had any difficult problems, they would also ask Milt's old housekeeper for advice, and the old housekeeper would quickly relay the answers.

The two sides have always maintained this special alienated relationship, but...

"Gentlemen! Let's go to their door together today. If they dare not help again, we will fight them."

"Yes, fight them! Anyway, we have no way out. If we die, we will die together."

"It's because the Milt family refused to come forward that so many cows died in the town. It's all their fault."

"Yes, it's all their fault. Today we will ask them to give an explanation and make them compensate for our losses!"

Compensation is a fart. They have never owed you anything. When you encounter problems, don't blame your greed or the bank for debt collection, but blame the people who have helped you countless times for not helping you anymore?

Officer Natalie's face was gloomy and she clenched her fists. She had no sympathy for the victims. She just wanted to rush up and shout at them as a policeman to teach them a lesson.

I can come and go freely among hundreds of monsters, so why should I be afraid of you ordinary people? However, before he moved, his hand was grabbed by Lynch. When he turned around, he saw Lynch raised his chin to the crowd.

At this time, more and more people gathered in the center of the town, and soon there were more than a hundred people. Almost all the young and middle-aged people in the town gathered together, waving tools such as sticks and pitchforks, venting their despair and anger.

Several gentlemen were the management of the town, trying to calm the chaos. Even the only three blue uniforms in the town came to help dissuade them. However, the townspeople at this time were like a group of gamblers who had lost their minds. Everyone had red eyes and could not listen to anything. Fortunately, the managers had a good reputation, otherwise they might be beaten to death on the spot.

"Do you want to kill them? In this situation, it is difficult to calm down without blood."

Yes, the opponent is not a monster. The tense hands soon softened, and the police officer snorted angrily. But years of experience told her that Lynch might be right. This group of people gathered together and might have gone crazy.

"I am angry too, but let's see the situation first, don't rush."

The crowd quickly moved, and hundreds of people clamored and gathered towards the eastern suburbs of the town. The two of them left the carriage at the door of the only tavern in the town and followed on foot.

The angry crowd walked very fast. In more than half an hour, they had reached the outskirts of the town. A three-story mansion appeared in front of the two.

Unlike the mansions in most cities of this era, Milt's mansion was surrounded by towering walls, with sharp iron bars and iron nets on it, and only a thick iron door connected to the outside world.

The leading farmers could not wait to rush to the gate and prepare to smash it, but before they got close, the gate opened on its own, and an old butler who was estimated to be in his sixties rushed out with a shotgun, followed by four strong servants, each holding a shotgun in his hand.

Bang.

The old butler fired a shot into the air to calm the restless crowd, and then five people blocked the door and confronted hundreds of townspeople.

"Tell your master to come out."

"Treat our livestock!"

"If our livestock dies, you will be responsible!"

"You have been with us for so many years!"

"Stand back, my lady doesn't want to see you rude thugs!"

The five men raised their guns and aimed, but they didn't dare to really shoot. Although the farmers kept approaching with sticks, they were afraid of firearms and didn't dare to really attack. The two sides maintained a face-to-face distance and fell into a brief stalemate.

"No, we can't let them go on." Officer Natalie, who had been following behind, couldn't stand it anymore. "We must stop them, otherwise there will be a lot of casualties once it breaks out."

"What are you going to do?"

"Shock the farmer, then hurt him directly and suppress him by force." The policewoman pursed her lips and hesitated a little, "This is the only way."

"Maybe there is a way to solve it peacefully, at least without hurting anyone."

"Impossible, these people are crazy, and peaceful methods can't calm them down at all."

"How about a bet?" Looking at the increasingly intense atmosphere, Lin Qi said calmly, "It's still the same. If you win, all the old accounts will be cancelled. If I win, hehe, that's the eighth condition... Ouch."

The policewoman retracted her leg that was stepping on Lin Qi's toes, looked at his bitter face, and glared at him with a slightly red cheek.

"Hurry up and work, don't talk nonsense, something's going to happen."

This woman is so violent, how will she live in the future?

The farmers kept shouting and cursing with red eyes, becoming more and more angry. The ones in the back row slowly squeezed forward, pushing the ones in the front row forward. The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, even to the point where the sticks could hit the other side's head directly.

Bang.

A stick swept across the old housekeeper's forehead, and the blood flowed down his cheek along his gray hair. There was a moment of silence on the field, and then the townspeople who saw the blood became more and more excited, and had completely lost control. The next moment, they would rush forward and kill the five people who blocked their way under the threat of firearms.

Now is the time, and I want you to explode.

Lynch took a deep breath and then shouted.

"Enough!"

The phantom sound ability was activated, and the volume was adjusted to the maximum, like a thunderous explosion. Everyone on both sides was shocked, stopped all actions, and looked at the source of the sound in surprise.

Click, click.

With the sound of the cane hitting the ground, Lynch was followed by the policewoman. The two walked out slowly from the back, walked into everyone's field of vision, and walked towards the middle of the two sides.

When the two sides were stunned, they were still close to each other, but Lynch walked over directly, and stopped when he was about to make physical contact with the person in the middle. He raised his cane expressionlessly and knocked on the chest of a farmer.

"You, make way."

The emotions that had just exploded were interrupted by thunder. It would take some time for them to accumulate again. The deflated farmer subconsciously took two steps back and stared at Lynch blankly.

Lynch stood in the middle position given up by both sides, turned to face the crowd, straightened his hat, and said with a haughty face:

"I am the staff of the Rhine City Government, the House of Commons representing the citizens, and the noble Speaker Grant. I came to your broken town today because I heard that there was cattle plague here. On behalf of the noble Lord Grant, I came to negotiate with you poor guys and buy your dead and sick cows at two-thirds of the market price."

The root of all contradictions lies in the stimulation of losing all their money. Lynch's words hit the nail on the head, shocking everyone out of their fanaticism and gradually regaining their ability to think.

Speaker Grant, he is a big shot in the city, I have heard of him. What is he going to do? Buy our sick cows? God, although it will cost a lot of money, at least the loan can be repaid and the family farm can be saved!

Suddenly a life-saving straw appeared, the townspeople no longer cared about the Milt family, and they were extremely excited. The leaders were quite knowledgeable, especially the one who just hit the old housekeeper's head with a stick, and asked with some doubt: "Why do you buy sick cows? Hiss, you don't want to sell sick cows as good cows, do you? This is illegal."

Lin Qi's face sank and he hooked his finger at him. The farmer came over without any doubt.

So, Lin Qi swung his arms, forehand and backhand, and slapped him in the face twice, making him spin and fall to the ground.

"Is it your turn to ask questions? What do you care what we buy? If you want to sell the things, just keep your mouth shut. If you ask such nonsense again, I will turn around and leave. Did you hear me? Hmm? Do you want to sell it? Hmm?"

"Think about it, sir, please don't leave, I won't ask anything."

This is the right way, this is the attitude of the lords in the city. The farmer's face was swollen from being hit, but he smiled and nodded his head like a steam piston.

"If you want to sell it, it's good. Humph, I tell you, I don't want to stay in this broken town for a minute. You should get back to town right now, order the best wine for me in the tavern, and wait for me to settle the account with you in detail. If you are not ready when I arrive, I will leave immediately."

"Sir... will you really buy it?"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask the question that everyone was most concerned about. Lin Qi glared at him and hooked his finger again.

"Come here, I'll tell you."

The other party immediately covered his face and took two steps back.

"You're not stupid, huh, did I say I want to buy it? Don't you understand what I'm saying? Don't you know what negotiation is? If the negotiation goes well, of course I'll buy it, but if it doesn't go well, what will I buy? Why are there so many questions? Now, get out of here."

The crowd that was just aggressive immediately dispersed, and some people realized while running that it was not right, weren't we here to kill people and set fires?

Forget it, business is more important, as long as someone buys it, as for whether it is illegal or not? Haha.

Lin Qi shook his hands, his hands hurt from the two slaps, but it was quite refreshing.

There must be something hateful about pitiful people, a bunch of villains.

Shaking his head at the running crowd, Lin Qi turned around and winked at the police officer, making an eight gesture.

You actually did it.

The policewoman was somewhat amazed and impressed, but she still waved her fist with a red face and said unhappily: "How do you plan to end it? Where do you get the money to buy so many dead cows?"

"Hmm? Speaker Grant wants to buy dead cows. What does it have to do with me, Lu...Lynch?"

Lynch spread his hands, smiled and added:

"First stabilize them and buy us time to understand the situation. Although those people are hateful, they are also victims after all. It's enough to teach them a lesson. Let's try to solve the problem first. If it doesn't work, there are still backup plans."

"Hmm." The policewoman nodded gently, and her eyes looking at Lynch in secret became softer.

"Your Excellencies." The voice of the old housekeeper came from behind, "Thank you for solving the trouble for the Milt family. If you don't mind, please come in and rest for a while. My lady wants to thank you in person."

Of course I don't mind.

Lynch and Officer Natalie smiled at each other and followed each other into the iron gate. However, as soon as they entered the door, they turned back inadvertently, which made Lynch's footsteps freeze in place.

Inside the door, Lynch saw a familiar pattern.

A bunch of round balls that look like eyes are stacked together, like a strange pattern made up of countless eyeballs.

Lynch had seen this sign outside the Knowledge Library.

The Lord of Billions of Lights.

The evil god who made the neighbors come forward to stop Lynch from peeping.
