Red Moon Returns

At the end of the road, Lynch even felt a hint of despair.

The phase defense necklace has been returned to Miss Valente, and now she has nothing to rely on. Even being attacked by ordinary people with weapons is very dangerous, let alone facing a high-level soul-shifter with seventh-level power.

Seeing the other party saying sorry and raising the dagger, Lynch gritted his teeth and prepared to put on the flame ring to avoid the fatal attack before the dagger fell.

Even a seventh-level expert must try his best and cannot wait... huh? Level seven?

In a flash of lightning, Lin Qi suddenly realized something.

The last level 7 expert he saw looked back at him from over a hundred meters away, then blew a century-old tree into sawdust, or left him trapped in an alley without even knowing where he was.

This one stabbed someone with a knife? It's too unqualified. There must be something wrong.

The thought just flashed across my mind, and I didn't have time to think about it. The dagger was already stabbed into my chest.

Take a gamble and go with your instincts, I bet you're putting on a show.

Lin Qi's heart skipped a beat, and she put the ring back on her finger. She stood dignifiedly on the spot, still covering her face with a fan, with a charming look on her brows and eyes. She raised her head gracefully and watched with interest as the dagger stabbed down.

Extremely fast, extremely powerful, and unstoppable.

The bright light of the knife reflected the cold gaze in the charming eyes. The light of the knife was getting closer and closer, and it pierced directly into his heart.

A big gamble, life or death.

At the moment when the dagger was about to touch the dress, the dagger suddenly flashed and then disappeared from Kelvin's hand. Only his right hand remained holding the dagger and continued to hammer down.

The charming girl with the round fan remained motionless, staring directly at the downed fist with cold eyes.

The figure flashed again, and this time even Mr. Kelvin disappeared.

He still maintained his previous actions, but his body had been teleported to the position he was standing on not long ago, and the dagger had flown back to the original owner, the pirate's hand.

[Power, communication, ability, space transmission. 】

He teleported himself away at the last second, thus achieving the ultimate stoppage.

At this moment, Lynch's mind went blank, his whole body ached, cold sweat covered his body, every muscle was trembling, and his heart was beating as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

He tried his best to maintain a standing posture, with his legs trying to support his weight. It was all because of the disguise of the round fan that he didn't lose his composure on the spot.

There was only one thought left in my numb mind: Damn it, I fucking won the bet.

At the last moment, Lynch realized that there was something abnormal in Kelvin's behavior.

This man was thoughtful and decisive, and he had just said that he would treat Lynch with the utmost caution. After finding out it was him, how could he talk so much nonsense to me and choose the most common method of stabbing someone with a knife?

Without saying a word, using a thunderbolt method to beat me to death is in line with his characteristics. Now he has chosen the most unreasonable method full of loopholes. There must be his reasons.

For example, he himself was not 100% sure, and he could not really destroy the cooperation between Prince William and the Swollen Daughter, so he had to use this method to deceive me, so he deliberately left me a chance to counterattack and evade.

Of course, these were all things that gradually came to mind when the blank brain slowly recovered its ability to function. There was no time to think about it carefully just now. Lin Qi believed in his first reaction, so he put his chips on it.

And...won.

"As expected of the swollen girl who serves the lurking chaos clone, she is so powerful that even I can't see through it. She looks like a low-level weakling." Kelvin flicked his cloak, took off his hat and bowed gracefully. "The sharp blade is in front of you, but your expression doesn't change, and you can't move. Unless you have a certain level of strength and don't care about it, no one can do it. Strength doesn't lie, and that detective is not that strong. Strength, it seems I am worrying too much.”

Is there a possibility that the expression that remains unchanged is transformed into a fan, and the motionless expression is because you scared me so much that my legs went weak? If you scare me again, I will change your wet pants on the spot.

Lynch calmed down secretly, tried to keep his voice normal, and sneered: "I thought something worth looking forward to would happen, but it turned out to be so boring. Why, you don't think I am the detective now? So where are the gems? Did you send them together?"

"The opponent is too cunning, and there is something abnormal this time. You can't be too careful." Kelvin smiled reservedly, "Teleportation is teleportation, how can you tell what is being teleported? Haha, just kidding. Please forgive me for not disturbing that lady’s nature for such a trivial matter.”

"That's a shame."

Lynch glanced at Kelvin with a half-smile, looking unpredictable, but in fact, he finally felt a little relaxed.

The change in the attitude of the powerful enemy Kelvin showed that he had passed the first level, which temporarily dispelled his suspicions. As long as he was careful next time, he should have a chance to pass the level.

Well, now is a rare opportunity. You have to pay a price for scaring me once, so let’s trade your secrets.

"According to our original plan, we planned to take action on the 17th and snatch the gems before he handed them over to his client."

Knowing that the swollen girl was here to inquire about the progress, and seeing that Kelvin no longer doubted her identity, Walker no longer concealed it and answered honestly:

"Firstly, it prevents him from tampering with things. What he delivered that day must be true. Secondly, it makes him lose the mission items and embarrass him in public, which helps us rangers breathe a sigh of relief. Thirdly, we get the things just in time to start the ceremony on the 18th. Otherwise, we have to wait for several days, and something might happen again.”

Lin Qi moved his mouth, wanting to ask about the details and location of the so-called ceremony, but his reason still made him give up this stupid idea.

That would be too suspicious. Anyway, I have another way to find the location. Confirming the time they took action and the time the ceremony was held would have been a worthwhile trip.

So Lin Qi nodded noncommittally: "I will relay it to eldest sister when I get back, but today this is..."

"Because of the emergence of new allies, this is their opinion. They are worried that the original plan is not safe enough, in case they fail to grab it that day, or the top powerhouse behind the detective intervenes..."

"The most important thing is that your original plan was not to let him die." Kelvin said sadly, "We two fellow believers are under his care, and I still hope to make him pay the price with my own hands. It's a pity today, He suddenly became alert, it must be because someone reminded him, I will slowly speculate on who did it. "

"New ally?" Listening to a group of people seriously discussing how to kill themselves, Lynch felt that it was a rare experience. However, he suddenly realized the point. He put on the tone of a swollen daughter and looked at Kelvin as if He smiled and said, "It seems that this gentleman has only appeared for a few days. Is he really reliable?"

"Mr. Kelvin was also introduced by those gentlemen, so there is no problem with his credibility."

"Then I hope you didn't make a mistake in judgment, haha."

With the fan covering her face, Lin Qi was just about to say something provocative when she suddenly felt a chill rising from behind.

Too? Those gentlemen?

Walker would say this, which means that the people who brought him into contact with the Swollen Daughter were probably the same people who introduced the Flicker disciple Kelvin to them. And from the very beginning, it was those bastards from the League of Shadows who encouraged the Ancient Flicker believers to target themselves from the very beginning.

So, were they also responsible for this incident?

At this moment, Lynch felt his scalp numb, and the empty picture frame of Randall's house seemed to appear in front of him again.

I thought that after the Mordiggian incident, these bastards would not appear in my life for a while, but I didn't expect to encounter them again within a few days.

From the beginning, Randall, a disciple of the Ancient Flicker, has been targeting Lynch under the control of the League of Shadows. The Mordiggian incident was more obviously guided by the League of Shadows, and Prince William's plan this time is probably also controlled by them.

Damn it, what on earth were they trying to do?

What is the purpose of the gods behind them?

Isn't everything they do so simple? Everything from beginning to end is not isolated and is connected by an invisible line.

Are they brewing some huge conspiracy?

[This will be the first scene in your journey, Lynch, please patiently appreciate everything. Don’t worry, I will walk through this journey with you. 】

‘Hiss, you actually took the initiative to prompt me, which means that I am not just imagining it, but I have actually discovered the problem? ’

【……】

There was no sound in his consciousness, but Lin Qi seemed to feel a smile.

Phew, it seems that it is really worthwhile for me to abandon the moral women's clothing once, and it is a worthwhile trip. Okay, then let me see what these bastards have planned. You provoked me first, so don’t blame me for sabotaging your plot.

However, as soon as he made up his mind, Lynch retracted his thoughts and saw the old blind man commanding a group of deep diver sailors, rummaging around in the dock.

"Mr. Kelvin still feels there is something wrong and is worried that Lynch has indeed been teleported here. To be on the safe side, let them search thoroughly, otherwise they will never be allowed to open the door."

Walker shrugged and said with an apologetic expression:

"Madam, now that you have understood the progress you need, can you please... go back first, and we need to handle the next thing ourselves."

Lynch tightened his fingers on the folding fan, and finally realized that Kelvin didn't completely believe in him, and he still tried to test it.

And this time it caught Lynch's most fatal weakness.

Once Lynch refuses, no matter what reason he finds, it will inevitably make the other party's suspicions deeper and deeper, or even explode directly, leaving no room for maneuver.

And it is impossible for Lynch to disappear out of thin air and return to another world, and it is even less possible with his latent ability. Unless everyone else is blind and stupid, no one can hide it.

Lin Qi understood. It seemed that the other party had waited until now to take advantage of this and conduct a final test on him. As long as he could not return to the world of the Swollen Daughter, he would be greeted with a full-force blow.

Looking at Kelvin's reserved smile, Lynch breathed a sigh of relief and realized that his crisis was never over.

"I……"

Boom, just as Lynch spoke, a sudden loud noise, accompanied by violent vibrations, resounded throughout the entire dock.
