Red Moon Returns

The police officer rearranged the photos and put them on the coffee table.

The two frowned and looked at each other, and they could see the confusion in each other's eyes.

What happened to Maya when she went into the mountains for interviews?

What happened to those mountain people and monsters?

What happened after she came out?

The most important thing is, it's obviously just a pile of ordinary photos. Why is it tainted with so much mystery, but it doesn't look like a mysterious document at all?

Lin Qi's head was spinning with thought, and he asked, "Have you never seen that kind of monster?"

"No, I have only been a watchman for two years, and there are too many things I haven't seen before." The police officer tapped the photos, "And I want to know more about whether these photos are mysterious documents. If they are just the remaining mystery, It's impossible to influence Downey and cause him to die mysteriously in two days, but I have the same conclusion as you. I don't feel like reading mysterious documents at all. Is Downey's death really not related to these photos, or did he extract some real mysterious documents? gone?"

"It's all numbered, and the last one is marked with an 'E'. The number is in a woman's font. Unless Maya added the number after Downey's death, the photo shouldn't have been taken out."

"Then I can't figure out the reason. This is beyond the scope of my experience. I have no interest in mysticism. By the way, why don't I ask Mr. Klin for advice. He has rich experience and should understand what's going on."

"Is it appropriate to come to your home with something like this to ask for advice?"

Lynch felt that if he were in his position, he would beat the opponent out.

"It doesn't matter, this is his job too, just wait for me."

After a while, the police officer invited Mr. Klin, a thin middle-aged man, in. She must have explained the situation. Mr. Klin didn't ask anything, just picked up the photos and quickly looked through them.

"Mysterious remnants are really powerful. I suspect this thing can compete with destruction-level wonders. Maybe it can touch the edge of advent-level objects. Don't think about it, this is a mysterious document, and it is very typical." In less than two minutes, Mr. Kling had concluded, "It's just that it doesn't work for you right now."

"Why?" Officer Natalie asked.

"You hunters only know how to bully those fixed and unchangeable strange objects, and you certainly can't understand the weirdness of mysterious documents." Mr. Klin puffed out his smoke and said slowly, "Some special mysterious documents are usually just a book. A piece of paper, a piece of stone, or a piece of bronze will only become a mysterious document if it meets certain conditions. This type is of a hidden type, and the more mysterious it is, the more it was met last time. It was left behind when the condition became a mysterious document, so this thing is a big one. "

Lynch blurted out and asked: "What conditions?"

"For concealed documents, the true interpretation is to find the conditions for their effectiveness, and only then can you truly understand the connotation of the document."

Lin Qi pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, asking questions quickly in his mind.

‘Neighbor, can’t I really read the information directly? ’

[No, it is just an ordinary physical photo now, and you cannot decipher the entity. 】

Lynch sighed. It seemed that if he wanted to find out what secrets were hidden in the photos and the cause of Donnie's death, he could only find a way to interpret this document.

"You'd better not mess around." Klin saw Lynch's thoughts and was shocked, "This thing is so mysterious. If you really figure it out, the whole city might be implicated. I suggest you destroy it directly. Mysterious files are not like rare objects. They can be destroyed."

"But it is a photo, Mr. Kling. Is destroying it really useful?"

Klin's expression immediately changed. Indeed, the photo was a prototype. It was pointless to just destroy the photo without figuring out the reason.

"If you let such unstable things wander among the people, the city may collapse at some point. It's too dangerous." After hesitating again and again, Mr. Klin knocked on his pipe and said distressedly, "Forget it, just leave it here with me first. . It’s up to you to guess, and you may not be able to find the correct conditions until the hidden dangers are revealed. I’ll let you know when I have the results. Just come to me if you need to check the photos.”

Officer Natalie looked at Lynch and asked. Lynch thought that this kind of time bomb would be safer than placing it here, so he nodded and said: "Then I can only trouble you, Mr. Klin, please." be careful."

"Yes, Mr. Klin." The police officer also warned: "One person directly related to it has died and one has disappeared. Hundreds of people indirectly related to it have died. Judging from the signs, it is extremely dangerous."

"No matter how dangerous something is, someone has to do it. Besides, it's not like I haven't decoded the mysterious documents of level 4 and 5. I've seen a lot. Okay, I'm ready to start working. Do you have anything else to do?"

Officer Natalie suddenly remembered: "By the way, Mr. Klin, do you know that kind of monster? I have never seen it before."

"That's a mysterious creature that lives in the real world. It's relatively rare." Klin glanced at the photo and said, "Ghouls feed on corpses and like to live in groups in tunnels or caves. They are also found in cities, but most of them live in sewers. Most of these things are transformed by humans, so young individuals have two forms: humans and ghouls. Their speed and strength are far superior to humans. If you don't take into account ability and just rely on physical fitness, they will be level three or four. Even the soul-shifters may not be able to deal with the ghouls.”

Corpse eating... Lynch felt a little disgusted, suddenly realized the problem, and asked: "You just said that they were transformed by humans, so a normal person can also turn into them?"

"Yes, but only some ghouls are transformed. Some of their tribes like to transform humans to supplement their members, but some prefer to keep pure blood."

"If they are always with corpses, will they have a serious stench?"

"Yes, the lingering smell of corpses is one of their characteristics, but they have other ways to cover up the stench in their human form."

Lynch and Officer Natalie looked at each other, and many threads finally came together.

Those mountain people are probably a group of ghouls. They may also oppose the tunnel project because they are worried about their identities being exposed. Maya went to interview them without any preparation, and they were transformed into the same kind by some unknown method. After leaving, she realized that her body was changing, and hid in the cabin of the secret base in fear. As a result, the only person she could ask for help was killed by a photo that had some unknown problem.

This girl is too unlucky. Lynch thinks this is an unlucky physique. In comparison, his mysterious physique is not worth mentioning at all.

However, Officer Natalie still asked: "Mr. Klin, is there any hope after being transformed into a ghoul?"

"Once the process is completed, there is no hope at all. There is still some hope before it is completed, but I need to check the information."

"How long does the whole process take?"

"I'm not sure about this. I'm not a ghoul, but generally this kind of transformation ritual will not exceed one tidal cycle, twenty-eight days."

"It seems that no matter what the purpose is, she must be found as soon as possible." The police officer smiled bitterly, "These mountain people are protesters, and their identities are sensitive. If you want to accuse them of being monsters in disguise, you must have solid evidence. Maya is the only breakthrough and witness now. Only by finding her can we prove the identity of this group of ghouls lurking in the city. Besides, their behavior in the tunnel is also very strange. Who knows what conspiracy is behind it."

As she said, her and Lynch's eyes fell on the photo of Maya and Donnie.

The whereabouts of Maya can only be found from this.

Secret base.
