Red Moon Returns

Wailing sounds came faintly from downstairs, leaving the two people on the second floor looking at each other.

Just now, the little thing hugged her mother and cried heartbrokenly. She told her mother all the bad things she had done in the past few years. She just cried and begged her mother not to abandon her and jump into the river. If she wanted to jump, just take her with her. Lin Only then did Qi realize that he had accidentally hit what the little thing feared the most.

If you think about it carefully, Martha is actually not a heinous person in terms of purpose, and the effect is indeed good. At least she controlled the group of wild children who had no bottom line and morals, and indeed improved the security environment in the King's District.

According to Ms. Police Officer’s experience, even if she takes her to the Hall of Order to surrender, she will not face any embarrassment. It is even difficult to return the stolen goods, because the amount of money for each victim is not large, and she is not willing to follow a group of children. Because they were careless, no one ever pursued the case, and very few even called the police.

So the most she could do was to be given a lesson and kicked out, because she saved the police a lot of trouble and the police didn't want to take care of her at all.

Generally speaking, it has not caused irreparable consequences, but the means are too bad, and they are all based on taking advantage of the goodness of human nature. If this continues, big things will happen in the future, not only harming ourselves, but also harming others. We must correct it. come over.

Maggie never dreamed that her daughter would have such an experience. She no longer cared about fighting with Lynch. She hugged her daughter and ran downstairs. The mother and daughter were ready to talk in detail behind closed doors.

But Lynch was not ready to jump out of the window to escape. Looking at Mrs. Maggie's complicated expression, she seemed to be a little grateful. She should still be reasonable. It seemed that she didn't need to face a violent mother. It would be much easier if he was willing to be reasonable. Lynch probably wouldn't have to move, but now he needs to face another trouble.

A woman with strong curiosity, even her eyes sparkle, and in the words of her hometown, she has a burning spirit of gossip.

This surprised Lynch extremely. It turned out that the serious and brave police officer Natalie still had this side. Even half-cold black tea could not stop her mouth. She kept asking questions, forcing Lynch to use another thing. block up.

Of course it’s the honey biscuits bought on the road.

So, the tall, mature, long-haired police officer held a honey biscuit in his hands like a little squirrel and nibbled it while listening to Lynch's story with bright eyes.

At the end of the story, Lin Qi actually realized that the little thing did not mean any harm today. I guess I found out that my mother was not at home, so I took the initiative to make black tea and help serve it. I wanted to please this disgusting adult who promised to keep it a secret. But when I saw the bits and pieces on the table, I started playing with them without any sense of boundaries, and almost lost my life. .

"I also have a long memory. I must buy a safe and lock up all the strange things every day. It's so scary."

The police officer smiled: "I told you when we first met that every strange object is very dangerous to ordinary people. Now you understand."

Well, I understand, I will never be careless again, thank you.

He was thinking this in his mind, but Lin Qi said in his mouth: "You didn't say anything when we first met. You just pushed me to the ground and said that you would agree to everything if I survived... ow."

Her toes were stepped on again. How could this woman step over the coffee table while holding biscuits in the blink of an eye, then go back to nibbling on biscuits?

No, she didn't even blink.

But this reminded him of business, and he said excitedly: "I couldn't save Martha just now, but it felt like something exploded in my head. This is the feeling of activating power, as if my whole body was full of energy. With so much strength, I felt like I was omnipotent, and rushed to that little bastard in an instant, just like this..."

Lynch wanted to try to recreate the experience he had not long ago, but no matter how hard he tried in his mind, he could not find the feeling of exploding deep in his soul. When he looked up in confusion, he saw Officer Natalie using a strange looked at him with a smile.

"I'm not wrong about you. You will fight for a little girl you don't know well. Your heart is indeed worthy of trust." The police officer's smile was particularly soft and she said softly, "No need to try, it was you who inadvertently inspired the instinct of the soul to enter." The final transcendental state, in addition to the huge consumption, will last for at least an hour at the end of the soul. You can’t try it now.”

"Huh? Is this how you were last night?"

"Yes, in fact, it was enough for you to activate a single power to enhance strength and speed, but you didn't have the fighting consciousness of a soul-shifter at all, and you were really anxious, so you instinctively activated the strongest state."

It seems true. After the alienated soul activated the power of the red moon last night, he went home and fell asleep without even trying out his new ability.

Although there is a reason for excessive consumption of soul power, I am also a little slack. In this mysterious world full of dangers, no one knows what will happen next moment. You must arm yourself as much as possible to keep yourself at the highest level. It must be in good condition, otherwise it will be a disaster if you are not careful.

One lesson is enough, and you must never get carried away in the future.

"As long as you understand, now that you have stepped into the mysterious world, every time you relax, it means slipping deeper into the abyss of fantasy."

Although she was still holding a honey biscuit and nibbling on it, the police officer’s tone was very serious:

"That's why I'm here today. It's time to systematically let you know about the soul-shifters."

Lin Qi's heart tightened, knowing that this meant that he would finally become a spirit shifter in the true sense. He raised his hand to signal the police officer to stop. Then he took a few deep breaths to calm down his nervousness, and then he sat upright and nodded.

"Everyone who wants to maintain a normal will needs to rely on the power of the soul, which we call energy. After alienation, our soul is extraordinarily powerful and has far more energy than ordinary people. It can support us in using abilities and secret techniques. Energy is usually lost during sleep. For quick recovery, there are also some special magic items that can help with recovery, but they are relatively small. The energy reserves will gradually increase as we understand the power. Generally speaking, the higher the energy, the stronger our combat effectiveness.”

Lin Qi nodded, Lan Tiao, understood.

"But alienation is also harmful. The biggest harm is that our souls lose their barriers and slowly absorb mystery from the environment every moment. In addition, being in a high-concentration mysterious environment or having deep contact with mysterious events will cause Let the mystery quickly accumulate in the soul. This is what people often say is being eroded by mystery. This process is irreversible. "

"So this is a road that cannot be stopped?" Lynch thought of Archbishop Trinleth's previous warning, "What will happen if you accumulate too much?"

"The mystery that fills the soul may escape at any time, thereby contaminating our will and turning us into out-of-control lunatics or twisted monsters. Therefore, we must always maintain the strength of our will and the stability of our soul, otherwise we will be completely destroyed. Become a member of the mystery.”

"Then we can only try to avoid too much exposure to mystery?"

"Unfortunately, it doesn't work. If you accumulate it every day, sooner or later it will be full. If you continue to pour wine into a sealed wine barrel filled with water, the wine inside will naturally be squeezed out from the cracks in the wood, and the soul will be the same. . If you cannot start the next alienation in time to expand your soul, the filled soul will gradually expand. The higher the degree of expansion, the greater the possibility of mysterious escape. "

"Then start the next alienation as soon as possible."

"It's not that easy. The next alienation needs to meet two conditions. First, there is a holy mystery that guides us to understand the characteristics of the gods. Second, we have a thorough understanding of our alienated powers, and each power has at least four abilities. Powers The higher the level, the fewer the suitable holy mysteries and supporting materials, and the higher the difficulty of comprehending the ability. Therefore, many mid-to-high-level soul-shifters often have souls that are already full, but they are never able to carry out the next alienation, and are eventually twisted into monster."

"Then if you want to understand the ability..."

"Two ways, one is mysterious files, which are actually records left by predecessors. They are transformed into mysterious files because they carry mysterious information. This kind of ability is generally a very basic bottom-level ability. More powerful abilities are difficult to Use written records, because most soul-shifters cannot bear the mystery. Here are two mysterious documents."

Officer Natalie patted the box she brought:

"The other is to constantly come into contact with mysterious memories, whether they are strange objects or mysterious events, taste and learn from the memories, and realize your own abilities."

"No matter which one, it will actually make the mysterious pollution in the soul more serious."

"Yes, but there is no need to consider these in the early stage. After all, we cannot come into contact with things that are too mysterious in the early stage, otherwise we will not be able to deal with them, so there is no need to consider excessive mysterious pollution. That is a problem that we need to worry about later. "

The problem is that I need to compete with the evil god for divine power.

Lynch could only smile bitterly. He finally realized what a difficult path he had chosen.

The path of an ordinary soul-shifter is already bumpy enough, but he also has to come into frequent contact with evil gods...

[You don’t need to worry too much about the mysterious filth, Lynch. Your will is highly resistant to filth. The evil god will not increase the amount of mysterious filth accumulated in your body too much, and the effects of the mysterious filth can be recovered quickly. , I warned you about this from the beginning. 】

Lin Qi thought about it. Indeed, she had reminded herself from the first time she saw the body of Drunk Peter, but...

‘Why is this happening? ’

【Your soul is special. 】

‘Because I’m a time traveler? ’

[Actually... no, you will know the reason in the future. All you need to remember now is that you don't have to worry about accumulating too much filth in your soul like most people, but the escaping of filth is still fatal to you, so be careful. 】

Well, at least there's good news.

Lynch smiled and pointed to the box in Officer Natalie's hand: "So, my journey as a soul changer will begin with this box?"

Officer Natalie opened the box with a serious expression.

There were two book-sized wooden boxes in the box, with an envelope pressed on each box. There was a faint feeling of danger inside, which was a warning of inspiration.

"Here are two abilities that are subordinate to the hidden power. It is said that they are the soul changers from the goddess of the night. She seems to also share the hidden power. Different from comprehending the ability from the mystery, when accepting the understanding of the predecessors from the mysterious document , due to the lack of mystery, various mysterious materials must be used to guide the user to understand the ability. Some high-level ones also need to refine the materials into potions, but these two do not.”

Lynch nodded and picked up the first document.
