Red Moon Returns

Following his first sighting at former Mayor Howard's riverside estate, Lynch saw this strange and terrifying creature again.

Just as the Yi people described it, apart from the fact that its body shape and limbs are a bit like beasts, it has nothing to do with hounds.

Compared to the one at Riverside Manor, the hound in front of him no longer had an ethereal and hazy feel, and became more solid, which allowed Lynch to see its appearance more clearly.

This made him feel that he might as well not be able to see clearly.

The appearance of the hound is strange and abominable, especially the slender twisted body and limbs, the long tongue that swallows like a snake, and the body surface dripping with blue glittering mucus, which are all disgusting.

After gradually understanding the danger of hounds, Lin Qi no longer dared to ignore its existence. Being stared at by two eyes with a strange red light, Lin Qi felt a coldness from the inside out, and his muscles were tense. , holding the cane tightly, but looking aside to avoid looking at it.

The hound took a step forward and spit out its long tongue again. Blue mucus dripped from the tongue like saliva, and then turned into mist and blended into the surrounding blue light.

One step, another step.

Lin Qi's heart was beating faster and faster, and his hand holding the stick became tighter and tighter. However, before he could make any move, blue lights flashed around him one after another.

One after another, the hounds emerged from the light pillar, and their number increased, and soon a large group gathered.

Uncountable.

These ugly monsters seemed to have no entity. They were piled up one after another. They looked like a big ball of blue stuff. It was not known how many there were in it. Maybe there were only a few, maybe thousands.

"Number is meaningless to hounds" "Hounds always appear in groups" "Hounds are running everywhere in the river of time"

At this moment, Lynch finally understood the meaning of these comments and the horror of the river of time. Unfortunately, groups of hounds had already pounced on him.

These monsters swarmed up and rushed straight to his position. Lynch tried to dodge a few times at first, but soon realized that in the face of sheer numbers, dodging was meaningless. He could only watch the hounds pounce on him, and then... passed through his body.

The hound penetrated his body like a phantom, and Lynch didn't feel any impact, just like a cold wind blowing across his body. As if they didn't sense his presence at all, the large group of hounds rushed past his body and jumped into the air one by one.

Damn, that scared me to death.

Lynch's heart was almost beating like a gallop, and his mouth felt dry. When he turned around, he realized that the target of these hounds was not him, but the blue dots falling in the sky.

The fine snow-like light spots are large and small, bright and dark. I don’t know where they come from, and I don’t know where they are floating to. They seem to be endless and never-ending.

The target of the hounds was the larger light spot among them. As soon as the long tongue was stretched out, the light spot was sucked into the cavity. Only a little light came out of the tongue. Then the tongue squirmed and the light spot disappeared into the hound's body, and then it pounced on it. The next spot of light.

? ? ?

The scene was dangerous and strange, but Lin Qi had a strange feeling, as if he had encountered a pack of hunting wolves on the grassland. Although he might be affected at any time, his heart was still full of curiosity, and he watched the hounds in surprise. The figure of the scramble.

"Stop looking and leave as soon as possible."

The Yithian's emotionless tone sounded in Lynch's consciousness:

"You are now protected by the communicator. The hounds cannot detect you, but you may still be exposed if you stay around them for too long. After all, you don't want to be overwhelmed by such a number of hounds."

Hiss, can your Yithian stuff work?

Lin Qi's heart trembled. He didn't bother to ask any more questions and immediately gave up...

"No, which way to go."

"Front."

"Everything is the same around, which way is the front?"

"Whatever, choose the direction you like."

? ? ?

Lynch looked at the increasing number of hounds, chose a direction away from them, and turned away.

"Pay attention, this is the direction your Silver Key guides you."

"ha?"

Lynch paused, recalling the almost childish test that Archbishop Trinleth gave him when he just traveled through time, and vaguely understood something.

"Yes, intuition is the most important in the mysterious field. No matter what reason you choose this direction, it is the result of the guidance of the Silver Key, because the Silver Key will affect your intuition and make you instinctively think Go to the direction of the Silver Gate, and you will find various reasons to take action. This is why Milt did not tell you in advance how the Silver Key will guide you. It is purely based on your personal feelings and it is difficult to get rid of it. Language explanation.”

"So I can find the Silver Gate just by walking in this direction?"

"In the river of time, the word 'direction' does not exist, only the past, present and future exist. The space you perceive is just a fallacy that appears after being polluted by your understanding, and is not real. And the Silver Gate The so-called 'direction' changes at any time, and you can't reach it by walking in one direction."

"So..." Lin Qi made it clear, "I just need to follow my feeling and go wherever I want to, and I can reach the Silver Gate?"

"Yes, in the mysterious world, guidance from the heart is the most important information."

"Okay, thank you for the guidance." Lynch had quickly moved away from the group of hounds. He looked back at the strange entities chasing blue light spots and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "They seem to be hunting. What are those light spots?" ?”

"The crumbs of time, the residue bred in the torrent of time, are the real food of the hounds. The pursuit of those who desecrate time is just their after-dinner entertainment. Be careful when you encounter them, and don't take the initiative to attack them. Once Establish a connection and the communicator can no longer hide you.”

"Okay, I understand." Lin Qi suddenly said in hindsight, "The communicator has taken effect? ​​Is that what you are contacting me now?"

"It took effect before you fell into the river of time, but I didn't contact you through the communicator. That piece of equipment is rather special. I can't contact you at the 'now' time node. I use my brain to communicate with you." The wave form follows you in."

hiss……

"Don't be nervous. I have very few brainwaves attached to you and can't take over your body. And there are a lot of weird things in your body that I can't understand and don't want to come into contact with. I came in with you just to help you Find the Lord of Tindalos and make sure you are not lost in the flow of time."

"By the way, if I directly target the Silver Gate, can I guarantee that I will find the location of the Lord of Tindalos? If the Silver Gate keeps changing positions...in short, changing a certain noun, what about the doghouse?"

"The angle of time is a very special concept that only has meaning within the river of time. In fact, it exists at any point in the river of time, from the beginning to the end. So no matter where you go, you will eventually have the opportunity to encounter The opportunity to enter the corner of time just depends on whether you can realize it."

"Hey, what are its characteristics?"

"Watch your steps, don't use your eyes, use your mind to feel."

Lin Qi lowered his head subconsciously, sensing it with his body and mind, and then endless surprise filled his mind.
