Red Moon Returns

July 8, 1399, early morning.

With something important in mind, Lynch got up early today.

After hurriedly getting dressed, Lynch opened the bedroom door, then slammed it shut.

He rubbed his eyes, changed his posture, opened it again, and then slammed it shut again...

Bang.

The bedroom door was kicked open, and Lynch was taken out with his arm twisted.

Lynch wanted to cry but had no tears. No, why would this cruel woman block my door?

The one blocking the door was of course Ms. Natalie Angell.

Today, Natalie wore a purple silk dress and a white gauze sun hat. The sword she always carried was not with her. She was holding a purple parasol in her hand, and her posture was exactly the same as when she was holding the sword.

It seems, may be, seems, probably, light makeup is applied on her face. Lynch is not sure, but he dare not ask. Anyway, her lips look bright and shiny, which makes people want to...

Officer Natalie took a step back, covered her lips and widened her eyes in surprise. Her face instantly turned red and steam began to come out of her head.

Humph, it's not just you who is in a bad mood when you wake up, men also have it. Everyone has to pay the price for their actions!

So, Mr. Lynch Leviev paid the price as soon as he showed a smug smile.

He was chased and hammered by Natalie all the way downstairs.

Hiss, this woman's beating is really painful.

They sat at the dining table, but Lynch was still grinning and moving his shoulders. Until he met the thoughtful eyes of the landlady, he coughed awkwardly a few times, pretending that nothing had happened, and slapped away the little claws that stretched out to the fried ham in front of him, pinched the disappointed little face, and finally finished breakfast lively.

I made an appointment to go to the cemetery to visit the long-famous Mr. L.

After changing into a suit handmade by Master Christian and wearing cufflinks and watch chains that he had treasured for a long time, the handsome guy in the mirror straightened his bow tie and looked very energetic.

In the mirror, Natalie appeared behind him, biting her lips gently, smoothing the last wrinkle on his shoulders, and her usually sharp eyes revealed a rare tenderness.

He blinked at the woman in the mirror, and in return she snorted. The familiar reaction made Lynch smile knowingly, picked up the prepared lilies, and got on the rented carriage that arrived as promised.

The Rhine in the early morning was not hot. Workers who went out early and returned late were coming and going on the roadside. Thick black smoke had already come out of the factory in the distance. The sharp sound of the train whistle was faintly heard, and a new day began.

The two sat side by side in the rented carriage. It was not the first time they were in the same carriage, but this time was strange. No one wanted to talk, and the strange silence slowly spread in the carriage.

As the carriage swayed, the two shoulders touched each other gently from time to time. It seemed that no one wanted to move away first, and the shoulders touched each other again and again.

Lynch finally moved. He moved his body and moved closer, and the two shoulders were completely pressed together.

This time, they wouldn't collide, Lynch was satisfied with his intelligence.

The lady's face turned red again, and she glared at him with gritted teeth, but she didn't dodge, but just put her fingers on Lynch's thigh...

Twist.

However, before she exerted force, Lynch's hand clenched up and grabbed the weapon that was about to commit the crime.

Struggle, struggle.

The police officer's face became redder, and the powerful force seemed to disappear suddenly. She exerted force several times in a row, but failed to get rid of the clamp. After several times, her fingers finally relaxed, bit her lips and turned her eyes to the window.

The wheels rolled, heading north along the Land River.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, the rented carriage stopped at the gate of the cemetery in the suburbs.

The door opened, and the respected Sir Lynch Leviev was kicked off the carriage, followed by the blushing policewoman.

Throwing two shillings to the driver who pretended not to see anything and asked him to wait, the two stopped playing and walked into the cemetery side by side.

Silence, deserted.

This is the cemetery of Rhine City, where most civilians live after death. No matter how rich or powerful they were in their lifetime, they are fair after death. There is only a simple tombstone that tells everything about their life.

How is it possible.

This world has never been fair, whether they are alive or dead.

The poor are buried on the east side, most of them don't even have tombstones. Burying here is completely free, and maintenance is entirely funded by the city government. The only difference from the mass grave is that the bodies here are buried underground, and someone will patrol every few days to prevent them from being dug out by wild dogs as midnight snacks.

Ordinary citizens are buried in the middle, which is very similar to the cemetery in my hometown. The graves are arranged neatly, the weeds are cleaned up, and some graves are decorated with flowers. There are special people patrolling every day. Once the grave is found to be damaged, it will be repaired immediately. This area needs to be paid for, but it is not expensive, about one pound, which is still within the acceptable range of citizens.

As for the south side of the cemetery, it is like a beautiful garden. The whole area is artificially planted lawns, and clusters of flowers divide the grave into small areas. Under the beautiful jade tombstones, the brick and stone cemetery is clean and magnificent. Each grave is clean and tidy. It can be seen that someone cleans it every day. Some tombstones are embedded with photos of the deceased, and the deeds of the deceased are engraved on the back, which is obviously different from the previous two places. This is the high-end area in the cemetery. If you want to be buried here, ten pounds is the entry fee, and you have to pay maintenance fees every year. Only those who are really rich will be buried here.

Rand was very good to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to maintain order. His treatment standards were very high during and after his death. The cemetery of the Watchers was concentrated in the corner of the high-end area, with dozens of tombstones gathered together. For some reason, Lynch saw It reminds me of a scene where a group of people gather around the bar to drink, chat, and bet on lizards.

The Watchers who have passed away in the past hundred years are all buried here. It is not that there are only so many Watchers who died, but these are the only ones whose bodies can be found, and there is only one name left in the Watcher's file.

In contrast, Mr. L is lucky, at least he lives here.

On the white tombstone, his name is engraved in golden letters: Logan Angel. In the photo on the tombstone, the bearded man has an unsmiling expression. He is upright and serious, both in terms of charm and facial features. Somewhat similar to Officer Natalie.

Staring at Lynch angrily, Officer Natalie let go of his arm, stepped forward to clean the platform in front of the tomb, took the lilies handed over by Lynch and carefully placed them on them.

When she straightened up again, the police officer's eyes were already filled with light moisture. She stared at the photo on the tombstone and stood silently. Lin Qi did not disturb him and stood quietly beside him, looking at the hard face on the tombstone.

After a long time, Natalie spoke softly, with obvious choking in her voice.

"Father, I'm here to see you again. This guy is my... friend. Didn't you say you wanted to beat him to death before? I'll leave it to you."

Lynch smiled, stepped forward and stood side by side with Natalie, took off his hat and bowed in front of the tombstone, and gave a deep salute.

Everything was normal and Mr. L didn't crawl out to kill him, which finally made him feel relieved.

"You see, he is still very satisfied with me. It seems that I am qualified, otherwise he would have jumped out and beaten me to death to protect his daughter."

"Nonsense, that's because he knows that his daughter can kill you by herself." The police officer punched Lynch on the shoulder and glared at him angrily. There were tears in her eyes, but she couldn't help laughing. He came out and said fiercely, "You will be in trouble if he comes out. He was very vicious when he was alive."

"More fierce than you? I don't believe it."

Natalie raised her parasol as a threat, then sat down skillfully on the stone slab of the tomb, leaning against the tombstone comfortably, looking like a child sitting on her father's lap, looking at the surrounding garden and said quietly :

"My mother died when I was twelve years old, and it was my father who raised me. He was actually a very serious person, and I rarely saw him smile."

Lin Qi patted her shoulder and sat down next to her. Natalie pushed him dissatisfied and tried to squeeze him down, but Lynch refused to go down. After several attempts without success, Natalie snorted and gave up trying, letting him stay close. Sitting in front of his father.

"He is very tall and strong. I used to like climbing on him like this when I was a child. He was not angry when I climbed so hard. He just protected me and smiled. Unfortunately, he was later transferred to Nolin and was awarded He got the code name and became a high-ranking member of the Watchers."

"Do only high-level people have code names?"

"Well, ordinary combatants only have names, and high-level officials will be awarded code names. There are no more than twenty code name members still alive in the entire Watcher system, so last time Victor said that he could apply for a code name for you, I was very worried. Surprised, this is a very sincere invitation, but it’s a pity that you still refused.”

"It's good to be in the system, but there are too many troubles. How can I be as free as I am now."

"That's true, he thought so too." Natalie nodded and continued: "After getting the code name, he stayed in Nolin and left my mother and me in the Rhine. My mother was not seen until her death. The last time he saw him, he came back only on the third day after his mother passed away."

"Why didn't you go to Nolin with him? Ordinarily, given his status and ability to bring you there, it couldn't be out of order."

"Observing order is always just an excuse. There must be other reasons for not doing so." The police officer sneered, "Nolin is actually not a good place. Although I have never been there, I at least heard him say it."

"Um?"

"As you just said, things within the system are too troublesome. It is the capital after all, and the situation is very complicated. If he is just an ordinary civilian, he can live a normal life. But he is an upper-level Watcher and has to face a lot. Trouble and stress.”

"Is there a struggle for power?" The experience in his previous life made it easy for Lynch to understand the experience of throwing a brick to death, but it was still a bit strange. "I remember that the Watchers are directly under the royal family, and their status is quite special. As long as they do It’s okay if you don’t take sides.”

"Well, but what about family members? Especially family members outside the mysterious world. They have to face people with ill intentions all the time. If they are not careful, they may do something that affects the whole family. They must always be highly vigilant. Think about it, Would you take Mrs. Maggie and little Martha to Nolin to live like this, even for a few days?"

"That's definitely not the case, no, wait a minute..." Lin Qi said the wrong thing as soon as he relaxed for a moment. Cold sweat suddenly broke out, and he felt sinister in his heart, "The example you gave is very problematic. Let me tell you, Be careful when you say anything, you have to be responsible for talking nonsense.”

"Hmph, man." Natalie rolled her eyes at him with a charming look. She was annoyed after thinking about it and stepped lightly on her foot. "No wonder my mother always said that to him in front of me. Animals like you... Even if you can control your hands and feet, you can never control your mind.”

"There is no way, the power of imagination is infinite. If human beings lose their imagination, the world will lose its future." Lynch said with a serious face, "There is a saying in the mythical age, whether a person is honest or not depends on what he has done. What, you can’t look at what he’s thinking, that’s the truth.”

"So you admit to being my friend..."

Lynch almost slapped himself: "No, absolutely not."

"Hmph." Natalie bumped into Lynch's shoulder hard and sighed, "I can see that you don't even want to take me and that person, let alone two ordinary people, and my father also has the same concerns. And Nolin’s situation is worse than you think.”

"Um?"

"There are a large number of cultists, lunatics, wanted criminals, murderers, and mysterious aliens hidden there. Half of the country's dangerous people are concentrated there,"

"Hey, are there really any living people there?" Lynch understood what Natalie wanted to remind him, and held the police officer's hand, "Thank you."

"Humph, I was just talking about my father. Who reminded you?" Natalie didn't struggle this time, letting Lynch hold her hand and recalling softly, "But I was still young at the time and didn't understand these things. I always felt that he He abandoned us, mother and daughter, and I didn’t listen to my mother’s explanations for him. I hated him very much. After my mother passed away, and after he tried to transfer him back to the Rhine, I also opposed him at every turn.”

"You can't tell." Lynch kneaded Natalie's rough hands. The hands that held the sword all the time had left deep marks.

"That's because you have bad eyesight." The police officer chuckled and muttered, "Actually, I admire that guy very much and have always regarded him as a role model. Whether I am practicing swordsmanship or advocating the concept of the Lord of Order, I am imitating him. But at that time, I was really rebellious and refused to admit it. I was also arrogant and caused him a lot of trouble. But he always accommodated me and never really lost his temper with me like he did with outsiders. In fact, I would rather he taught me a lesson. Teach me a lesson. In this case, I won’t be arrogantly trying to help him that night and end up in danger, and he won’t be in danger because of my recklessness..."

Before he finished speaking, his voice was choked with tears and tears were already covering his cheeks:

"He didn't blame me until the end. Instead, he worried about me the most and was always worried about my future."

Lin Qi held her hand firmly, thought for a while, and suddenly pulled her to stand up, standing side by side in front of the tomb again, and said solemnly:

"Don't worry, Father, this woman will be left to me to deal with from now on. Although I am a bit agitated, I can swear to the Crimson Moon that I will be sincere to her from now on and never let her down, otherwise the sky will strike me like lightning. "

[I don’t care about this, otherwise I would have split it long ago]

Lynch ignored his neighbor's ridicule, and after expressing his loyalty, he hugged Natalie and kissed her hard while looking at her blankly.

The sharp gaze gradually relaxed and her eyes slowly closed. Natalie also put her hand behind Lynch and responded awkwardly.

Even the wind has softened a lot.

I don’t know how long it took, but just when the two of them felt lack of oxygen...

"boom."

A roar caused the two people to subconsciously separate and look at each other.

Neighbor, do you want to be so smart?

Muttering in his heart, Lin Qi smiled dryly and said, "Look, father heard it and is blessing us."

"I asked you to bless you, and I asked you to talk nonsense. I obviously saw your bad intentions and asked God to punish you." Natalie pinched him angrily, but quickly frowned, "This It wasn't thunder, it seemed like something exploded, it couldn't have been a factory in the city."

"Let's go back and take a look."
