Red Moon Returns

"Ha, this cat is so beautiful. I haven't seen it nearby before. It must be new here." The landlord, Mrs. Maggie, smiled and opened the door.

"yes……"

Lin Qi looked back at the direction where the black cat disappeared. He saw that it was a domestic cat with a collar around its neck. He also asked Ms. Luna that it was a pet cat, but Lin Qi always felt it was strange. , but couldn’t tell what the problem was.

It was as if the cat was deliberately spying on him.

Forget it, it's just a stupid cat.

Lynch shook his head to get rid of the random thoughts in his mind, followed Mrs. Maggie into the house, naturally took Mrs. Maggie's vegetable basket and helped her carry it into the kitchen.

There was actually meat in the basket. Although it was just minced pork stuffing, it weighed two pounds. A large ball was wrapped in oil paper. The red and white color made Lynch excited.

The cheapest pound of pork costs ten pence, and mincemeat costs nine pence, which is much more expensive than white bread.

I have lived a hard and simple life for several days since time travel, and have only eaten a few slices of bacon. My memory of orthodox meat is still the decapitation meal I ate in the restaurant before hanging myself. The fat and water in my stomach are almost gone. The hiccups left only the smell of dry bread.

"A little thanks. The food last night and this morning is really... thank you." Mrs. Maggie also walked to Lynch, lowered her head to sort the food in the basket, her cheeks were slightly red, and her voice was quite low, "Thank you very much." Thank you for that. ”

"Thank me for beating Martha?"

"I doted on her so much that I never thought she would do those bad things. If you hadn't taught her a lesson yesterday and let her continue like this, she might not have made any big mistakes." The blond lady lowered her head and held the vegetable basket. , body trembling slightly, "But I went to the security station in the King's District today and was kicked out by the police. They said there were no such cases at all and asked me not to cause trouble and cause them trouble. I don't know what to do now. "

"It's not a bad thing that no one will hold her accountable. Just guide her well in the future and let her take the right path. As for compensating the victim, let's think of other ways."

"Well, since Duncan left, I don't understand many things. It's true that no one told her what is right." Tears fell down her cheeks. The blond lady suddenly raised her head, held Lynch's hand hard, and said with choked sobs, " Mr. Leviv, thank you for educating her for me. You are a well-educated person. If you have the opportunity in the future, please help Masha. She is not a bad child, but there is no one to guide her. "

Phew, Lin Qi felt a burst of smoke coming from his head.

Even though he has been a human being for two lifetimes, he has never experienced this kind of contact.

Being held by the beautiful landlady, and feeling the warmth coming from the palm of her hand, Lynch felt her face get hot. She subconsciously withdrew her hand with force, took a few steps back and almost knocked over the chair. Even her speech became stammering. .

"I understand. I'm going back to my room first. No, I'm going to see Martha first. I'm leaving."

Speaking incoherently, Lin Qi turned around and ran away. He was frightened by the chuckle coming from behind. When he left the kitchen, he bumped into the door frame. His eyes were blinded by the collision, and he only had one thought in his mind.

This world is so scary. Not only cats are scary, but women are also so dangerous.

However, being panicked, politeness was still a must. With Mrs. Maggie's permission, Lynch knocked on Martha's door.

The room is small but cozy. On the wardrobe in the corner, a brass lamp holder protrudes from the wall, emitting dim light. As soon as Lynch entered the door, he saw the little girl lying on the bed in her pajamas, with her feet crossed and looking bored.

When he saw that it was Lin Qi who came in, his face immediately turned pale. He raised a pillow to cover the back of his head, pretending that there was no one here.

Lin Qi laughed out loud when he saw this position. It seemed that his attack was quite heavy, and his butt was already swollen and he could not lie down flat.

As if he heard laughter, two small eyes appeared under the pillow, and he glared at him fiercely, muttering: "Humph, what's so funny, I told my mother all the bad things, and now I'm not afraid of you." "

"Really?" Lin Qi raised his hand.

The little girl immediately threw down the pillow, covered her butt and screamed: "Don't hit me, I was wrong, I was wrong, I can't hit you anymore."

"I think you just deserve a beating." Lin Qi snorted coldly and sat down on the chair next to him, "Does it still hurt?"

"pain."

"That's right. If it hurts, you will remember it. Let's see if you dare to do bad things next time."

The little girl covered her butt and said aggrievedly: "But I don't understand. It's obviously good for everyone, why can't I do it?"

Lynch hesitated for a moment, sighed and said: "I am not a fanatical person who loves justice, and I don't know much about the conflicts between the residents of the King's District and people outside, so I am not qualified to evaluate your behavior, but in any case, take away others Even if the comments you hear from the people around you make you feel that they are also taking your things, this is not the reason for you to behave in the same way. They are wrong, but it does not mean that you can also be wrong. . And no matter what the reason is, taking advantage of other people’s kindness is the worst behavior. It will only make everyone afraid to show kindness to you, and you will be the one who suffers in the end.”

"Oh... But what about those children? If I don't organize them, they will soon return to their previous appearance."

"Let's try to restrain ourselves during this period of time," Lin Qi thought for a while, "I'm also thinking of ways during this period of time. Uncle, I have actually come into contact with a few big shots. I can't interfere with the affairs of those who are too far away, but I can help a group of people around me. The kids are not a problem."

"Really? Then I'll let them behave themselves for a while. Don't lie." The girl's smart eyes peeked out from under the pillow again, with the cunningness that had been seen in the past few days. For some reason, there was a little more expectation in her voice, "So, Uncle Lin Qi... If I do something wrong again, will you beat me again?"

Hmm? Is this child addicted to being beaten?

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows, raised his hand, and showed a hideous smile: "Of course, you will be obedient to me when I tell you to do something in the future, otherwise I will beat your butt hard, and your mother can't protect you, do you hear me?"

"Ah, you are really a perverted and disgusting adult, mom, help me, get him out."

The little girl immediately got under the pillow again and screamed softly. Lin Qi couldn't laugh or cry and punched her on the little head through the pillow: "Reflect on yourself, I'll go back upstairs first, you get better soon, I'm still waiting for you to bring me tea every day."

"Uncle Lin Qi." Just before Lin Qi was about to go out, Then came the tender voice of little Martha. When he turned around, he saw the little girl staring at him with big blue eyes, and said seriously, "I know you beat me yesterday because you were really worried about me. Although I don't know what dangerous things I did, but... thank you, and I'm sorry for what happened a few days ago."

"It depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will beat you often in the future."

Lin Qi took off his cap and waved to the little girl, then left the children's room with a smile. The fate of this little thing is still very bumpy. I don't know how long it can be safe. I hope it can last longer, otherwise it will be a big blow to Mrs. Maggie.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the kitchen, Lin Qi didn't disturb her anymore. He returned to his room on the second floor alone, looked at the dim sky outside the window, turned on the gas lamp on the wall, leaned on the sofa and opened several folk myths brought back from Maya's cabin.

There are actually stories about ghouls, and some books have pictures printed on them, but the pictures are all kinds of weird and don't look like them at all.

They were a group of monsters that fed on corpses, and were horrible nightmares hidden in sewers or underground tunnels. If broken corpses were found in these places, they were mostly victims who accidentally ran into ghouls.

In one of the books, Lynch saw a piece of information that he was particularly concerned about, but the description was extremely vague.

The King of the Cold Bones, the object of worship for all ghouls.

It also had another name for humans, Mordiggian.

"Dangdangdang."

Before Lynch could wake up from his surprise, the door was knocked. Lynch guessed that it was Mrs. Maggie who came to greet dinner.

When he opened the door, it was indeed Mrs. Maggie, but it had nothing to do with dinner.

"Detective Leviev, there is a customer who wants to visit you."

The first guest came.
