Red Moon Returns

Chapter 332 I'm willing to do anything

Everyone has symptoms, which means that everyone will follow the footsteps of the old Werther family, and everyone will die, including us.

Even if I knew this, I couldn't think of leaving.

There is no reason, just to stay here, and he does not hesitate to find all kinds of ridiculous excuses for this, just like the animals in the barn, and the Werther family who have become soft and fused together, sticking to the corner.

It’s not that there’s anything stopping me from leaving, but that I’ve been branded with a refusal to leave from the depths of my consciousness.

This was what made the two of them feel cold.

There is no way to escape, and we can only watch death approaching step by step, which is so despairing.

'Neighbor……'

【Um? 】

'No, nothing. ’

Lynch gritted his teeth hard.

Reliance and dependence are two concepts. She is my only support, but I cannot rely on her.

Asking neighbors for help with everything will only turn me into a waste. Isn’t the most important thing in a person’s life the courage to face difficulties?

‘I just wanted to invite my neighbors to join me in admiring the precipitous wonders of the Immortal Road. ’

[Heh...my pleasure, neighbor. 】

Lynch took a deep breath and let his courage wash away his fear. Very good. I accept your challenge. Mysterious, your opponent is private detective Lynch Leviev.

"Several possible factors for the mysterious incident."

The townspeople were still arguing over who would call the police, and they all wanted others to go without leaving the town. Suddenly, the voice of the police officer rang in Lynch's ears.

Only then did Lynch realize that she had returned to normal earlier than him, and had already started looking for countermeasures immediately: "Mysterious memories include strange objects, mysterious documents, mysterious aliens, and cultists' sacrifices. These are the four main categories, and the others are too much." Unpopular and of no reference value.”

"It's not a strange thing. We've basically visited the entire town."

"Huh? Have you calmed down? Soon." The police officer patted Lynch on the shoulder and continued, "It's not like a mysterious document. Document-type incidents behave differently."

"Then only aliens and cultists will be left to sacrifice." Lynch thought while the townspeople were still arguing, "Although the beginning and signs of the incident cannot be determined yet, the sign of the outbreak of the incident can be determined to be the death of living things. A certain force affects all living things, causing them to die one after another, while preventing any living creatures from leaving this place."

"It should have started with the skyrocketing growth of plants. I heard the mayor mention it on the way just now. This year, the pastures of every household are growing very luxuriantly, something that has not been seen in decades. Biological abnormalities are one of the typical signs of mysterious events. First, I think plants are also included in the scope of living things. If nothing else, this should be the beginning. "

"No wonder, I thought the pasture was growing too well just now," Lynch nodded, "But even if we find the beginning and outbreak signs, it's not easy to solve the problem immediately."

The police officer said calmly, "We still have a few days now. Judging from what has happened, the Witte family did not die until two days after the Witte family's cow died. The other three cows died less than two days. So they're all still alive, so we have at least two days, probably more."

"No, I thought so too, but don't forget, neither we nor the officials in the town own cattle, but we are still affected. This probably means that there is no inevitable time between the death of cattle and the death of humans. It’s just that his cow died just before them. Something was exhausted, so when death came, it was not a matter of time, but simply that it was not exhausted.”

"Phew, so we don't have safe time anymore."

"Yes, cows or people may die every minute, and it is a collective death as a family unit." Lynch sighed and said self-deprecatingly, "And we don't know what happened at all, and we don't know who our opponent is. Who has to race against each other to kill each other before death? "

The police officer kicked him in the calf with an expressionless expression: "Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

"Mayor..."

The fat mayor stood outside the Werther family's animal shed, looking at the middle-aged official and young female police officer who pulled him aside, feeling quite uneasy.

The two said they had something to ask him. His years of administrative experience allowed him to tell from their expressions that the matter was not as simple as just killing a few people.

Something big is going to happen.

"We are no longer officials who buy dead cows." Lynch said with a straight face and in a very official tone, "I am a consultant to the Governor's Mansion, and she is an investigator of the King's direct troops. We realized that some serious things happened in the town. Bad things come specifically for this.”

"What's going on?" It sounds ridiculous, but the two men were holding government badges and riding in a luxurious carriage. The mayor couldn't help but believe what they said. The fat mayor's expression immediately became nervous, and his round face was full of He felt anxious and said, "No, no more people will die, nothing will happen to the town."

Lynch and Officer Natalie were both stunned. Everyone in this town was selfish, but they didn't expect that there was someone who cared about other people.

"I have been sent here for forty years. I have watched most of the people in this town grow up. I have long regarded myself as a person here. How could I not care." The fat mayor wiped the sweat from his forehead. , sighed, "I don't want to see anything happen to this town."

The sincere tone made Lin Qi's expression relax a lot, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, we are just professionals here to deal with the problem. If nothing unexpected happens, the incident will be resolved soon."

"Then...what if there was an accident?"

The female police officer next to her said calmly: "That will solve it faster."

"She means us, all of us here."

As a result, the fat mayor's face became even more ugly.

"Oh, we are trying not to be solved, but this requires your cooperation."

The fat mayor immediately stood up straight and said firmly: "Your Excellencies, please give me orders. As long as I can protect this town, I will do anything, no matter what."

Don't say this nonsense.

Lynch shook his head: "It's not that serious. I want you to recall. Is there any family like the old Werther family that has never shown up today? Note that none of them have shown up."

"This... I'm going to ask them if something happened to them too."

Seeing Lynch shaking his head in silence, Mayor Mark ran anxiously to other townspeople. When he returned a moment later, his expression had become extremely solemn.

Yes, a man named Carlos, who lives with his wife and six children, has not shown up even a day today.

It seemed that it was another tragedy. Lin Qi's mouth twitched and he sighed secretly: "Come on, take us there, and explain to us what the land dispute in the town is about on the way. We suspect that the two are connected."

"It's not just the impact of the land acquisition order. I really have to thank the big shots in the Governor's Mansion." The fat mayor who led the way sighed, "In recent years, people have often come to the town asking to buy their land and farms. Town residents If they didn't want to sell, they used various means to force people to give in, setting fires, intimidating, threatening, and even closing a door. Fortunately, everyone was firm and determined not to sell."

Lynch asked: "The conditions are not good?"

"Actually, it's very good. It's a large sum of money, which is enough for the townspeople to find another way of living. But the people here are more nostalgic and just want to spend their lives guarding the land passed down from generation to generation, and stay in their own homes forever. I don’t want to leave either.”

Hiss, so old Werther refuses to leave home? That would be too ironic. Lynch frowned and asked, "What about Will Trevor?"

"Will is my best friend here. When he was young, he inherited a large inheritance and opened a bank in the town. In the past few years, he said he supported the townspeople's struggle against those who acquired the land. He not only introduced it to everyone, Better business, and he was willing to lend money to each family to expand breeding. No one expected that he actually had other purposes. In fact, I think he really wanted to help everyone, but he gradually changed for some reason. "

People's hearts are unpredictable, and no one will ever change. Lynch shook his head and said, "Do you think it's possible that he planned everything?"

"It must be him. No one can do such a vicious thing except him." The fat mayor said without hesitation.

"Mayor, you saw the lights at Carlos' house."

Lynch's inquiry was interrupted by the shouts of several farmers in front. Sure enough, a farmhouse had appeared not far away.

The dim yellow light of the gas lamp danced, casting silhouettes of the people inside on the translucent frosted glass window. It was not clear, but the figures were moving as usual, at least they did not follow the same path as the Werther family.

"It's a bit quiet." Lynch frowned, "All his livestock are also dead?"

"No." Several farmers looked at each other, "They were still alive and well yesterday."

"It's okay. Let's make sure this house is safe first."

Lynch said, already reaching into his arms to hold the pistol tightly, and at the same time made a knocking motion on Officer Natalie.

"Dang Dang Dang."

The shadows on the window moved for a moment, and several shadows quickly huddled together, but there was always silence in the room. I wonder if they were too scared to make a sound.

"Is Carlos here? I'm Mark. Let's take a look at your situation." Mayor Mark asked nervously, "Don't be afraid, we'll take a look and leave."

The figure shook, but still no one answered, and the room was quiet.

Lynch frowned and nodded to Officer Natalie. The police officer suddenly pulled out her sword. The sword flashed, cutting the thick wooden door in half from left to right, then rolled and rushed in.

"No one else is allowed in." A few seconds later, the deep voice of the police officer came out, "Lynch, come and take a look."
