Red Moon Returns

In fact, Lynch couldn't describe what the pictures he saw were.

It was a graffiti drawn with a carbon stick on used waste paper.

Most of the paper was smeared into a large black mass, and a vague outline could be seen from the black.

The picture was black with black lines, and it was actually difficult to see the content clearly. Lynch only saw a vague mass at first, so he didn't feel stimulated, but just wondered what the child had drawn.

But once he looked carefully, he felt a flash of inspiration, and gradually understood the meaning of the lines in the pattern, and also understood what the graffiti was about.

Surrounding it were a group of lines representing human figures, surrounding a twisted and strange shadow in the middle. The shadow was like a black meat ball that changed its shape. The edge of the meat ball extended irregular long lines, like countless tentacles extending to the surrounding human figures, or more precisely, to the heads of the human figures.

It was a very simple graffiti, but it was quite weird when you think about it carefully. The moment Lynch understood the image of the pattern, he also felt a mental shock. This time it was not a feeling of vomiting, but a palpitation caused by a strong fear.

My heart was beating violently, my hands and feet were sore, my muscles were shaking uncontrollably, and even breathing was difficult.

This was just a mental shock. I was not really scared. This was the natural effect of the mysterious image. I had to hold on. My will was strong enough to resist.

I gritted my teeth and held on.

After a few seconds, the fear gradually subsided. I still felt panic when I looked at the image again, but I was no longer as terrified as before.

‘Neighbor, am I right? This is just like seeing a photo of a ghoul? ’

[Yes, this is the shock from the mysterious image itself, not the effect of the mysterious file. ]

‘Does that mean that what she drew is something truly mysterious, not just a simple graffiti? ’

[Yes, no matter how weird the graffiti is, it will not bring mental shock. Only when the image is mysterious can it be. ]

‘Damn it, does that mean that this scene is likely to have really happened, and it is also mysterious? ’

Ms. Luna was silent, but she once said that if Lynch made a serious misjudgment, she would still remind him.

Lynch did not ask any more questions, and quickly flipped through the graffiti in his hand, asking as he flipped through them: "Do you understand this?"

"No, it's just a kid's scribble." Mrs. Scott saw Lynch's serious expression, and wiped her hands on her apron nervously, "What's wrong with these paintings?"

"It's okay, I didn't understand, so I just asked casually. I'm going to take these paintings away today and study them carefully when I go back."

While talking, Lynch had already flipped through all the graffiti. The content was similar, all of which were a group of human figures surrounding a group of shadows. The specific symbol still needed to be studied carefully, but judging from the existing clues, it was very likely that little Janet was shocked by the mystery because she understood what she saw, and she had abnormal mental symptoms and finally fell into a coma.

What did the child see? Lynch thought, and habitually flipped the graffiti. There were many words printed on the waste paper on the back of the graffiti, but between the lines there was a sentence written crookedly with carbon sticks, and there was one on each one.

Where did they all go?

Hiss, the weirdness was higher than expected, and Lynch's heart was a little hesitant.

Even if I need to get in touch with the mystery to improve my understanding of power, is it really necessary to get in touch with such a dangerous mystery from the beginning?

Just because it is related to Grant Screw Factory?

However, looking at the old woman rubbing her hands nervously, and then looking at the few expectant little heads outside, Lynch's heart softened.

This kind of mystery that has not yet erupted will hardly be taken seriously even if the watcher is found, and no one in the public will be willing to take risks as a private detective for a few shillings.

Forget it, I promised before, so I'll help them. Maybe I can't help.

Since the decision has been made, Lynch no longer thinks about it, and takes out the detective notes to plan quickly.

He plans to try to find the source of the graffiti and find out what happened to little Janet. This matter must be carried out as soon as possible. The little girl has shown obvious progressive weakness, and it is developing very quickly. Lynch even doubts whether she can hold on until the next day. If the girl really dies, then his investigation will lose its meaning.

As for the direction of the investigation, there are slight differences in several graffiti, including the number of human figures. Lynch speculated that this may mean that it is not a one-time event, but a multiple or even multiple-day event. There are quite a few people involved. The only places where so many people can gather and the little girl can frequently contact are schools and factories. However, there are too many people in schools, and it is difficult to keep secrets. The workshops in factories are relatively closed, which is more in line with the conditions.

Therefore, Lynch decided to go to the factory to explore the situation first, and then go to the school.

If the source can be found later, and it is really a mysterious incident beyond his ability to solve, he will immediately ask Officer Natalie for help. At that time, the two of them will be able to solve most simple incidents together.

Time waits for no one, Lynch immediately began to execute according to the plan, quickly returned to Charles Square, stopped a rented carriage for guests, and went straight to Grant Screw Factory.

This kind of densely populated public area is different from the previous investigations. There should be no problems with safety, so Lynch is more relieved. But even so, he still put all the weapons in the most suitable position.

The Gray Fog District is the second largest urban area in the Rhine City. It is an urban area that has only been developed in recent decades. It is famous for its billowing black smoke that persists all year round and the endless stream of coal trucks. The factories are connected one after another, and the pungent coal smoke The smell of cigarette smoke lingers for years, and it is said that every time it rains, the rainwater here will be highly corrosive. Experts are divided into the god punishment camp and the climate change camp, arguing in the newspapers.

The closer to the City King District and the River Valley District, the denser the factories in the Gray Fog District, because transportation will be more convenient. Therefore, it only took half an hour for Lynch to appear outside the Grant Screw Factory.

In this age of steel and steam, screws are a very popular part and are widely sold. Therefore, the factory here is also very large. From a distance, there are at least a dozen huge factories, and each factory has a chimney. Black smoke billowed, and huge mechanical roars continued to come from inside.

There was a high barbed wire fence surrounding the factory area, and there were strong security guards patrolling inside. However, it was difficult to have any impact on Lynch at this level. He just stood for a few seconds under the street lights outside the iron fence, pretending to wait for someone. Within minutes, a coal carriage left the guard's sight, and he followed the carriage into the factory easily.

Lynch had estimated last night that the maximum time he could last if he remained in a latent state was about thirty minutes. However, it was rare to encounter situations where he had to maintain a latent state all the time. The duration could naturally be doubled by turning it on and off. Increased, so he did not hesitate to use his abilities. He left the cover of the coal car as soon as he entered the door, stood in a shadow, and looked at the entire factory area.

The only feeling is that of lifelessness.

The workers here all wear uniform coarse cloth work clothes, and there are quite a few of them. There are dozens of them running back and forth in various factory rooms. But when Lynch looked from a distance, he saw that many workers had numb expressions and dull eyes, mechanically repeating monotonous operations. Even when his companions around him called him, he took a long time to respond, which was quite strange and dull.

It was like seeing a group of lifeless walking zombies.

Are all the silent films of the Modern Age real?

Lin Qi shook his head and shook the distracting thoughts out of his mind. Now is not the time to lament these things. There is still business to sneak in.

If you want to understand what happened to little Janet, you must first find the place where she worked. Lynch had never thought that he would encounter problems here before, but only then did he discover that the factory was much larger than imagined, and the factory building There are only a dozen of them, and there may be more fine divisions inside, and there are even hundreds of workers.

It is not easy to find a specific location in such a large venue. Looking at the workers coming and going, Lynch was temporarily troubled.
