Red Moon Returns

After repeatedly checking Lynch's mental state, and even using her abilities, Miss Valente finally discovered that Lynch's physical condition still had some problems.

Very serious problems, even life-threatening.

He was hungry.

He hadn't eaten all night, and he was hungry and screaming.

Of course, it was his stomach that was screaming.

Miss Valente poked her chin with her index finger, rolled her eyes a few times, and suddenly showed a sly smile, waved to Lynch, and quietly slipped out of the room with him.

It was late at night.

The empty corridor was silent, with only a row of gas lamps casting warm yellow light to illuminate the surroundings.

Hiss, do you never turn off the lights in your house at midnight? The world of the rich is really hard to understand.

Hush.

The noble girl turned back and winked playfully, made a gesture to keep quiet, and then lifted her skirt, tiptoed and took Lynch through the corridor, all the way down to the first floor.

What is this girl going to do? How come she looked like she was going to thief in her own house, not only skilled, but also excited.

She must have done it a lot before.

I know why the old housekeeper looked at me like a thief. It must be that this girl often thieves at home, causing me to be misunderstood by the old housekeeper.

Yes, it must be like this.

In order to save some face for the shotgun in the hands of the noble girl, Lynch did not dare to say what he was thinking. He also tiptoed and cooperated with Miss Valente's actions and rushed into the kitchen on the first floor.

There was still a burnt smell in the kitchen, but it was very faint. It was a problem left over from the arson in the afternoon.

The situation in the afternoon has been found out. It was not a fire in the room, but someone hid rabbit tears in the fireplace flue in the wall. It is an ordinary plant with a good smoke-generating effect. It is often used to smoke rabbits on the grassland.

I don't know what method the other party used to send these plants into the flue and ignite them. After driving everyone out of the mansion, they set a high-temperature trap in the library.

Obviously, she didn't want to hurt anyone, which was why Miss Valente confirmed the other party's identity in an official way. Thanks to the fact that the other party didn't really set the fire, everything else in the mansion was normal.

Of course, this also included the kitchen.

"Come on, come on."

Peeping into the kitchen, Miss Valente skillfully turned on the kitchen gas light and pulled Lynch in, then smiled and raised her voice slightly.

"Let's steal some food, hehe, when I was a child, I was often hungry at night, and the tutor was very fierce and didn't let me eat at night, so I often sneaked into the kitchen to eat. I suspect that the cook at home deliberately made everyone's meals unpalatable, because every time I ate in the kitchen, I felt that it was much more delicious than the food on the table."

No, girl, it's just because the stolen food is particularly fragrant.

Being pushed to sit on a chair, Lynch watched the girl act like a thief skillfully, no, skillfully opened the cupboard, and moved out a large piece of bacon and a few eggs. The skillful movements made Lynch couldn't help but smile.

"When you eat secretly, you prepare it yourself, don't you call the cook? I remember that many rich people's cooks are on call 24 hours a day."

For example, that hateful Princess Chloe.

"You can wake her up, but it's so late. I don't like to disturb their rest unless it's necessary. After all, she is not a special night shift cook. We can just make some food to fill our stomachs."

"We? You didn't have dinner either?"

"Hehe, please sit for a while, I'll bring it to you when it's ready."

Looking at the back of the noble girl who started to get busy, Lin Qi felt warm from body to heart. Well... the case was solved. It must be because she turned on the stove.

[Hehe. ]

There is a fundamental difference between watching the scenery and peeping, neighbor.

Retracting his gaze from peeping at the busy little cook's back, Lin Qi sat at the table with his chin in his hand and opened the ancient sheepskin book he brought down again.

He had actually read part of this book before Miss Valente woke up. After Ms. Red Moon officially certified that the Swelling Daughter had not done anything wrong and Lynch could bear it, he started reading.

It is said that you must read the whole book to know what you can get from this kind of mysterious book. You may get some interesting things, but of course it may also be some taboo knowledge that humans should not know, and you will not be responsible for what happens in the process.

Lighting up a pipe of ordinary requiem grass, Lynch stroked the ancient book. This book is indeed a bit old. The sheepskin has become black, dry and brittle, but it has always remained intact, which looks quite weird.

"Goddess of the Black Fan"

The title of the book is actually just some graphics that Lynch does not recognize, a bit like the reflection of a railway map or the pattern on the stone slab in another world, but when he saw the title, Lynch automatically understood the meaning.

The book is not thick, only a dozen pages. As for the content, it is written in the words of the Emma Dynasty of the Fourth Epoch, which is a common word in archaeology and happens to be one of the five languages ​​Lynch has learned.

"The Lord walks from death, stepping on endless corpses."

"Crossing the realm of death and rebirth, reaching the eternal kingdom, in the gap between death and life, in this sacred cemetery, the Lord's will spreads to this world and the other side."

"Beyond time and space, beyond darkness and light, the shadow of the Lord, covering the ages, beyond eternity."

"Darkness, bloated, twisted, crazy, suffering, sin, disaster, praise the Lord, sing praises to the Lord..."

The weird content, every character makes people feel cold in their hearts. Through the text, one can feel the madness and blindness of the writer. Lynch sucked the requiem grass one mouthful at a time, and turned the parchment book carefully with his trembling hands, and finally turned the last few pages.

The whole book is actually the classics of the Church of the Swelling Daughter. This is a very small church, mainly hiding in that small world. There are only a few swollen girls in the world. They have actually been twisted into monsters that Lynch saw with inspiration. They survive by sucking human evil thoughts and desires, and usually maintain their human form with black fans.

As for the evil god they worship, the Swelling Daughter herself, she is mysterious, moody, and keen to appreciate all suffering and disasters, but she is always hidden from the eyes of history, just like always covering her face with a round fan, staring at endless sins with only a pair of weird and twisted eyes.

"Huh..."

Letting out a long breath, Lynch came back to his senses from the book with cold sweat, and when he looked up, he saw Miss Valente's concerned eyes.

Simple food has been served in front of him. The noble girl is leaning in front of Lynch, staring at him with her big eyes.

"How are you, Mr. Lynch? If you feel uncomfortable, take a rest and then read it again. There is no need to read all these books at once."

"It's okay. I have finished reading it and gained a lot."

"Huh? So fast? It's a rare speed." A light of joy flashed in her big eyes. "Have you comprehended new abilities?"

"More than one. I must admit that the evil god is really generous. I have forgiven her a little."

Lynch smiled. When it comes to extremely private topics such as personal abilities, Lynch did not avoid Miss Valente at all. He explained casually:

"The first one is the most useless, the gaze of the dead. After using it, you can see the souls wandering within three meters around you. Unfortunately, it is limited to those souls who have not entered the underworld for special reasons. You can't see them in general places. Oh, there is one behind you."

Waving her little fist, Miss Valente rolled her eyes at him: "Actually, it is a very practical ability , especially for a great detective like you."

"Well, but it's far worse than the other two."

Lin Qi suddenly raised his hand, and made a pistol gesture with his thumb and index finger. Then a miniature skull condensed from black mist floated on his fingertips like a black ball:

"Death Coil, long-range attack, will pull, the effect depends on my investment and my understanding of the power of death. After the understanding deepens, there will be an instant death effect, but the probability is very low, and there is no such thing now."

"I have heard that there are also soul-forsaken souls who have mastered the power of death in the Church of Night and the Church of the Earth who have comprehended this ability. When the power level is high, the effect is very strong, even not weaker than Starlight Burst. Well, it may still be a little weaker, a little bit, and I remember it has other functions."

Lin Qi smiled, suddenly turned the muzzle of the gun, and pressed the black ball into his chest.

"It can also be used on myself. Within five minutes, it can increase my physical fitness, about 20% temporarily. However, if it is used continuously, the body will not be able to bear it and serious problems will occur."

"This is already very practical. The injuries you described can be treated. It is perfect for you, Mr. Detective. The evil god is really generous."

Miss Valente was delighted and subconsciously grabbed Lynch's wrist and shook it, looking genuinely happy. However, after shaking it a few times, she suddenly realized what she was doing, her face turned red, and she dropped Lynch's wrist as if it was hot, and glanced elsewhere and said:

"There is... there is another one. According to your ranking method, it must be worth looking forward to."

"Oh, yes." Lynch smiled strangely and decided not to wash his wrist for half a month. "It's because of the third ability that makes me feel that I owe her a favor."

"What is it?" The girl has forgotten to be shy and asked expectantly.

"Tsk, we have to wait until the next chapter to pay for reading..."

"Click."

No, why did you come to the kitchen to eat secretly with a gun? Is your kitchen a battlefield with Friedman? And don't the broken chapter dogs have human rights? They agreed to send only blades, why did they use firearms directly?

Lynch sighed and gave up the idea of ​​teasing the noble girl: "Deny death."

"Huh?"

"Automatically triggered, once a day, lasting one minute, veto death." Lynch sighed, "In short, within one minute after the activation, no matter how serious the injury is, even if you are cut into pieces, you will not die."

Miss Valente even forgot to breathe, and was stunned for a long time before asking: "What about after one minute?"

"Definitely die."

"You..."

"Ahem, but if you rescue in time before it expires, you can still save your life."

"This, this, this..." Miss Valente expected Qi Ai Ai couldn't even finish her words, and it took her a long time to recover, "Doesn't that mean I have one more life than others every day?"

"It only works on physical damage, not mental damage, but my willpower is pretty good."

Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, smiled reservedly, and whispered:

"Her gift is very timely. With these abilities, I am more confident about the next plan. Let's join forces and teach those guys who want to make trouble a hard lesson. Tomorrow we will let Chloe spread the word, and then... Hehe, in a certain country in the mythological era, this is called asking yourself to enter the jar."
