Red Moon Returns

The deck was covered with disgusting mucus. It was hard wood, but it felt strangely elastic when stepped on, as if stepping on the flesh of some creature.

The nose was filled with a strong smell of fish and blood, and the ears echoed with strange whispers.

There seemed to be countless twisted beings crawling in the darkness, and the rustling sound was fearful from the bottom of my heart.

However, facing the nightmare-like scene, while his heartbeat was accelerated, Lynch felt something was wrong.

Why should I be timid?

Since the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, Walker, as the representative of the mayor, will not dare to touch him as long as the two sides do not really fall out. The other party is putting up the current scene just to scare Walker and take the initiative.

I am here to collect the goods. I am Walker of the Rangers. If Walker is not afraid, what should I be afraid of?

If I can easily deceive Robben and Walker, I can easily scare you pirates.

Even if he was exposed, the worst that could happen was that he would set fire to the ship and then rush out with his three seconds of invincibility.

There was nothing to be afraid of anymore.

With his courage strengthened, Lynch let go. With the help of the crimson moonlight, he walked along the two rows of people to the entrance of the lower deck with a normal look, looked inside, and turned back to the one-eyed deep diver and ordered: "Light."

"Hmm?"

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore. I've heard too much along the way. Now either you light the light for me or you let Davis come up by himself."

"Walker, Walker, you are getting more and more courageous, you..."

However, Lynch didn't listen to him continue, and turned around and walked to the side of the ship.

Huh, several tentacles on the deck immediately stood up, looking down at Lynch, and at the same time, several sluggish sailors also surrounded him.

Lynch was more relieved when he saw this. He raised his cane and pushed a puppet sailor aside, sneering, "I said, bring the lamp here, or get out of here, otherwise, no matter what agreement we have, it will be invalid."

The fish face of the one-eyed deep diver was twisted, staring at Lynch angrily for a long time, and seeing that he was not moved at all, he could only spit angrily, took out a lantern from the corner of the deck and stuffed it into Lynch's hand.

"Hmph, that's right, let's do business first today, and we will settle any accounts later. I, Ranger Walker, welcome you to come to me at any time."

Ignoring the deep diver with a twitching fish face, Lynch lit the lantern and swaggered down the deck.

The cabin was equally weird.

The whole ship was like a giant creature, with a layer of disgusting blood vessels growing on the wooden walls. When you touch it through the gloves, you can even feel a beating on your fingertips, as if there is real blood flowing inside.

"Ah~~~"

A desperate wail suddenly sounded in Lynch's ears. He turned his head and looked in the light of the lantern, and then he found that he was not alone.

Several human sailors were also in the corridor, but they were covered by those "blood vessels". Their whole bodies were integrated with the wall, and only half of their faces were exposed. They seemed to be startled by Lynch, their eyebrows and eyes moved, and they screamed miserably.

As if attracted by the screams, several hatches in the corridor opened, and several drunken fish-headed deep diver pirates poked their heads out, pointing at Lynch and making unscrupulous laughs.

Mad, are all the pirates in this world so heavy-tasting?

Lynch sighed secretly, strode forward without looking away, passed those deep divers who were watching the fun and the screaming heads that popped out from the wall from time to time, and walked straight into the captain's room where the music was playing.

So, for the first time, Lynch saw the wanted criminal "slave owner" Davis up close.

He is also a deep diver with a fishy smell. He wears a dirty captain's uniform and looks like a fish. The gills on his neck open and close, and the exposed skin is covered with thin fish scales and disgusting mucus.

He also has human limbs, but eight tentacles extend from his chin, making his head look extremely weird like an octopus.

He is at least an intermediate, and his strength may be slightly inferior to Mr. V, but in this small captain's room, a sense of oppression comes over him.

At this time, he is sitting in front of the piano, and the tentacles on his lower jaw flexibly hit the keys, playing a tune that Lynch has never heard before. The playing is very smooth, but the tune is extremely depressing. Lynch only listened to it for a few seconds, and he felt a burst of irritation, as if he might lose control of his emotions at any time.

"Dang".

Eight tentacles hit the keys at the same time, and the music stopped abruptly. A low and harsh sound like sawing wood came out of Davis' mouth. As the mouth opened and closed, the tentacles twisted, looking particularly funny.

"Walker, I'll give you a chance. You'd better explain clearly why you didn't fulfill your responsibility and inform us of the intelligence in time half a month ago. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I won't let you leave alive even if all agreements are void."

"What do you want to explain?" Just now, the One-Eyed Deep Diver had given Lynch a rough idea of ​​the attitudes of both parties. Lynch was not at all false and said tit-for-tat, "Don't you know what you did? How do you want us to inform you? We are the ones who are most afraid of you getting into trouble. Who knows what you will say if you get into trouble? We were so scared that we didn't sleep well for several days. You actually asked me to explain, and I wanted to ask you for an explanation."

A few words that seemed to be true but did not have any substantive content made Davis completely silent. After a long time, he snorted heavily:

"But you didn't take any substantive measures against that detective. Not only did you not kill him for me, but you also gave him a lot of rewards. This makes it hard for me to believe that you are not using him to attack me."

Hell, it was indeed his own fault. Lynch secretly sighed and explained for Walker: "Of course we have taken substantive measures. Didn't we introduce him into this trouble and send him to you? You wouldn’t have followed him all the way without killing him.”

"Don't think of me as a fool, Walker. Behind him stands a top soul-shifter from the Fallen God. He can clear out hundreds of cold spiders with just one look. This is not a secret in Rhine. And he was tricked by me into irritating his dream caller. The person’s strength even scares me, but he was easily killed by that person without leaving any body behind. I don’t want to anger such a powerful enemy.”

Have the rumors reached this level? But there's no harm in that either. Lynch showed a subtle smile: "You don't want to and I don't want to either. Wouldn't it be better to let him take the initiative to do the work for us? If he hadn't been charging from the front, you wouldn't have been able to get the things."

"That's right. I felt relaxed all over when I saw him being deceived. Especially when he diverted the guards and thought his plan was successful, it was really pleasant." The strange fish had a ferocious smile on his face, wearing There was deep malice in Weiss's deep voice, "It's a pity that I had to get it myself in the end. It would be better if he could deliver it to me personally."

"Don't worry, there will be a chance." Walker's appearance showed a subtle smile, "It seems that you have successfully obtained the things."

"certainly."

A gloomy and proud smile appeared on the face covered with tentacles, and then the tentacles under the jaw squirmed, and a red diamond-shaped gem was taken out from the uniform. The moment the gem appeared, the entire captain's cabin lit up, and the temperature in the cabin even rose a few degrees.

Hiss, is this the flaming red lips? Really beautiful.

Lin Qi took a breath and stared at the gems with eyes wide open. They were lustrous and crystal clear. Sometimes even men couldn't resist the charm of jewelry.

Subconsciously, he reached out his hand, intending to take the gem, but when his tentacle rolled up, Davis took the gem back.

Um? Lynch narrowed his eyes at Davis.

"Have you forgotten something?" Davis said in a cold voice, "Where's the reward you promised me?"

Lin Qi's heart tightened, knowing that it was the most critical time to successfully deceive the gem tonight.

I don’t know what he wants or what agreement they have, but it’s not important. Lin Qi took a deep breath and said in a pretentious tone:

"You don't trust us and are unwilling to go ashore to deliver the gems. Do you think I will bring the things to you at sea? If I do that, I believe you will be willing to accept the gems and the reward, including me by the way. life. So you must give the gem to me first, and after I confirm it is correct, I will deliver your reward tomorrow."

"Hmph, do you think I'm a fool?" Davis' eyes were sinister, and his tentacles were about to move. "I'm also afraid that you will regret it. I can't give you gems without getting paid."

"Actually, you don't have to worry at all." Lynch said sincerely, "Because we are afraid of you, but you are not afraid of us. You take advantage of the weakness we are most afraid of."

"Um?"

"You took away the reward and didn't give us the gems. We can't do anything to you. We can only admit it ourselves, right? But you are different. We took away the gems and must give you the reward. Otherwise, you just need to put us and you Everything in between is revealed to the newspaper, and we will all be ruined. Not to mention that if we lie to you, you can attack our ship, and our losses will be incalculable, so you hold the two of us most deadly. Weakness, are you still worried that we are not trustworthy?"

"Hmm..." The expression on Davis' fishy face softened, and he seemed to think it made sense, "Humph, I have kept the evidence of those things. If you dare to lie to me, don't hand over the reward tomorrow. Give it to me and I will hand over all the evidence to every newspaper and you will be completely screwed."

"Don't worry, I swear to the Twelve Lords on the name of the lives of the Walker family that I will never lie to you."

Davis looked up and down at Lynch, who had a solemn and sincere face, and then his tentacles squirmed again and took out the gem again.

"Then, I will hand over the gem to you with my own hands. If you dare to go back on it, just wait for the war to begin."

"Absolutely not."

Lin Qi took a deep breath, tried his best to keep his arm stable, stretched out his hand towards the gem, and finally held the red gem in his hand.

Delightful indeed.
