Red Moon Returns

"This ancient tomb is the tomb of the last emperor of the Yark Dynasty at the end of the Third Age. Although the Yark Dynasty at that time had almost perished due to plague and war, it was the emperor's tomb after all, and there were still many ancient wonders buried in it. Those are very valuable treasures. Hehe, as long as I can come back alive this time, I, the big-nosed hunting dog, can retire. "

Do you want to think again about what you just said? Or go out and look up. Is there an extra star in your sky?

Seeing the rude antiquities hunter Jack Adams taking a sip of beer and frantically adding drama for himself, Lynch could only sigh, look at him with nostalgic eyes and laugh.

In fact, the atmosphere was actually quite good, very much like before setting off on a normal mission.

As if feeling that Selene, a beautiful woman, was not easy to get in touch with, Carl Jones's attention returned to the lazy Jenna, and the two danced in the open space of the entertainment room to the music of the gramophone.

Rooney, the ancient books broker, and Jack, the antiquities hunter, sat side by side at the bar, chatting casually with Lynch about the operation. Salin, the folklorist dressed as Tom the bartender, still stood expressionless at the bar, saying nothing. Wiping the wine glass, Lin Qi always felt that his eyes were wandering around with bad intentions.

As for Judy...this girl still looked half asleep and half awake, sitting at the bar with a book in her arms, but there was a strange look hidden in her confused eyes, which was always accompanied by a burning heat that reached her soul, time and time again. Sweeping across Lynch's body.

"Ignore her, she is a fool, she often stares at others like this." The bearded man wiped off the wine stains on his beard and said in a loud voice, "She was mysteriously eroded and almost distorted when she was studying ancient characters a few years ago. Although he didn't die in the end, his brain was damaged. Most of the time when he wasn't working, he looked like this, which was useless. If he couldn't stay awake while working, we wouldn't be carrying him around. She's such a nuisance with such a dangerous job."

Oh, but you were the one who brought this girl here just now, and it seems like you are the one who brings her here every day, so just keep your mouth shut and I'll watch you perform. Besides, does she usually see other people being roasted like this? So you must be having a hard time these days, or am I the only one who can feel it?

Thought to himself, Lin Qi still maintained his high attitude and smiled noncommittally.

Rooney on the side sighed: "But don't forget, the most valuable thing is to be left to Howard. We can only take what is left of him."

"The rest is enough for me to enjoy for the rest of my life, hahahaha, I'm not greedy. Are you interested in that thing, Rooney?"

The gentle middle-aged man covered his twitching lips with a cocktail and muttered something unknown. When he put it down again, his expression had returned to calm: "I only want the classics in it, and the other things have nothing to do with me. What's more, there is Selene. The lady is here, hehe, her sudden participation is probably to help Mayor Howard ensure that no one will try to take advantage of his share. "

"Oh, that's not true. I'm just here to watch the fun. I want to make sure that there is someone else involved in this matter." Lin Qi added to the fire casually, then covered his mouth and chuckled, "You don't have to pay attention to me. , I listen to your arrangements, I think you should have already made a plan, there is no need to change it just because I show up, just tell me and I will cooperate. "

"The plan is actually quite simple, Howard has arranged it all."

After the song ended, Carl and Jenna returned to the bar and happened to hear what Lynch said. Carl diligently pulled out a stool for Dr. Jenna and helped her sit down, and then bowed to Lynch:

"Beautiful lady, we..."

"Karl." Cautious Rooney paused his cup.

"Don't worry, I checked while dancing just now. Both Howard and Walker confirmed Ms. Selene's identity. It's just that the beautiful lady is acting with us. Our mayor said that she only has this intention now. , I’m still discussing with Ms. Selene to see what she wants.”

Although he didn't know how this person came to seek confirmation, Lynch was relieved, knowing that his excuse had successfully dispelled these people's suspicions. It seems that Mayor Howard is not in vain. He is well versed in the art of speaking. A simple change gave himself room to avoid the possibility of being tricked into telling the truth. He is really a considerate and good employer, and now those questions that were inconvenient to ask them are finally answered.

Rooney immediately closed his mouth, his eyes flickered, and he nodded without stopping.

"The day after tomorrow, that is, we will set off overnight on the night of June 20th, and enter the target early on the 21st, the undeveloped Yark Tomb. Yark Tomb is notoriously troublesome, so we professionals have been gathered here , we need to enter the depths of the tomb before midnight on the 21st, and hold a ceremony in the main tomb chamber. There will be another group of people at the same time as us. I don’t know the specific situation, but they will also enter. In another tomb, a ceremony will be held simultaneously with ours, and the treasures hidden in that tomb will be sent to us through the key items you brought. At that time, Howard will take the same from it, as well as the other treasures and the burial objects in the tomb. The food will be divided equally among the six of us."

I see.

Although not very detailed, Lynch has found the last piece of the puzzle and connected everything.

Prince William and Howard had known about the mirror from some unknown source two years ago, and had also found a way to contact the Swollen Daughter.

So they took the opportunity of preparing the railway project and used a special method to make a mysterious document at the cost of national destiny and human lives. Then they contacted the Swelling Girl through the document, and finally exchanged the whereabouts of the Miracle Light for the full assistance of the mirror and the Swelling Girl.

The key to the specific method is the replica gem.

According to the experience of entering that world last time, the entrant himself and his belongings will appear in that dream-like world, while the real body actually remains in the world. Then the plan is likely that the six thugs in the internal group will bring the replica gems and be sucked into the dream through those symbols. Once successful, they will hold the gems in the dream in the dream, while the replica gems will remain in the world.

At this time, the external group will bring the replica gems to the designated location. Lynch probably didn't choose this location casually. It is very likely that the Swelling Girl stole the mirror from that location. So after both parties arrived at the target, they performed the ceremony at the same time, and formed a suspension bridge at both ends through the replicas that have the same mysterious origin as the mirror, and sent the mirror stolen by the evil god back to the world.

It is indeed a bit complicated, but Lynch still guessed and filled in most of the details. If this set of inferences is correct, then the key to the problem is not the internal group, but the external group.

The internal is the territory of the evil god. Those wanted criminals who dare to enter it, whether they have second thoughts or not, will hardly move under the watchful eyes of the evil god. Lynch even thinks that those people will be controlled by their companions, the swollen girls, and they will control them to complete the work.

So the key to this matter is still the external group, which is very maneuverable, so whether you want to promote the ceremony or destroy the ceremony, you must keep an eye on the external group.

Maybe you can turn lies into truth. If I really follow the external group in, it will be a good idea.

It depends on how to convince Howard. Think about it again. But no matter what method is used, the first thing to do is to find the inner ghost to comfort him.

The problem is that such an important task, how can it be handed over to the six summoned outsiders? If nothing unexpected happens, there must be Howard's real confidant among them. It's just that the confidant failed to find the inner ghost smoothly, so I will be the second insurance.

It seems that it is more important to find Howard's confidants first than to find the insider, otherwise it will be inconvenient to do anything.

But who could it be?

Lynch glanced at the crowd without leaving a trace. A group of people were gathering together to study the tomb information provided by Howard, and they seemed to have not noticed Lynch's prying at all.

Carl Jones, the most active playboy, is suspected to be a spy of the Watcher.

Dr. Jenna, who is not interested in anything, is suspected to be an undercover of the Archaeological Association.

Rooney, a cautious and smart bookseller, a soul-distracting person of a certain main god, is suspected to be an undercover of the church. Just now, he seemed to remind me unintentionally that there must be Howard's people among the six people. Was it unintentional? He is Howard's person, and he is implicitly revealing his identity to me? Or is he the insider, knowing that I am the same kind, so he reveals his identity in another direction?

Salin, a liar with strange motives, is suspected to be deliberately monitoring all his companions, which is very suspicious.

Jack Adams, the one who is least like an insider, but deliberately creates conflicts with Dr. Jenna, and is suspected to be distancing himself from the relationship, which is also suspicious.

There is also the last one, Judy Butterfly. The target revealed by the insider is the Church of the Sun, and she is like a human furnace to me. Could she actually be a believer of the Church of the Sun, disguised as a Soul Forsaken of the Lord of Fire?

Perhaps we can test her first. Seeing that she always looks not very smart, maybe she is easier to deceive... Hmm? Where is she?

Thinking of Judy, Lynch realized that this girl did not study the map with others. No one knew where she ran to. Others were used to it and did not react.

Lynch was about to find someone, but when he turned his head, he was startled by a pair of dark circles under his eyes. Judy had come to him without knowing when, holding a book with her eyes wide open, staring at him straight.

What's going on?

Lynch realized that he could no longer ignore the weirdness of this girl, and the burning and pressure in her eyes made him unable to ignore it at all.

Glancing at the fact that no one else noticed this, Lynch forced himself to maintain the calmness that should belong to Selene, took a deep breath, and was about to ask something.

But Judy had already taken a step forward and threw herself into his arms, shrinking as if to keep warm.

At the same time, a hoarse and trance voice sounded low and close to his ear.

"You are not her."

"You are him, I found you, thief."

The voice that only the two of them could hear made Lynch's scalp tingle.

Damn, who are you?

The next moment, Lynch's eyes suddenly flashed, and a huge ball of fire rose slowly.
