Red Moon Returns

Did I see it wrong?

The first time he used this ability, Lynch felt a little unsure and restarted the ability.

The vision returned to being strange, and then he saw the scene of the six blurry figures crashing to death on the rock wall again.

Due to capacity limitations, this scene could not last longer than twenty-four hours, and according to the layout of the camp, it should only last about ten minutes.

but……

After canceling the skill again, there is still an empty cliff in front of me.

Lin Qi held up the lamp and looked around. Behind him was the woods where he came from, and under his feet was a piece of bare land. The cliff in front of him was 90 degrees upwards to a hundred meters in the air, as smooth and flat as a wall.

"What's the matter, beautiful lady?"

Carl Jones followed and stopped five or six steps behind Lynch, looking left and right to ask.

"I can see death, six people..." Lynch briefly described the image he saw, "Theoretically, they should all be killed here, but you also saw that there is no sign here... …”

"You're mistaken." The liar Salin muttered dullly, but he didn't even care about such nonsense. He picked up a stone and threw it on the cliff. He watched the stone being bounced away into the darkness and muttered, "The body was dragged away by wild animals?"

"It is true that there are wild beasts in this mountainous area, but...it can't be wild beasts." Bearded Jack's rude voice sounded behind him.

"Why?"

"You'll know after you kill him once." The antiquities hunter rubbed his beard irritably and said uneasily, "There may be beasts that take the corpse, but no matter what kind of beast, it is impossible to lick the blood and brains clean."

It really is.

After being reminded, Lin Qi realized that if what he just saw really happened, there should be a lot of traces of blood, broken flesh, and liquid on the cliff. But now the cliff is dry and clean, with no trace at all.

Did I really see it wrong just now?

"It's not an illusion."

Grave robber Carl interrupted Lynch's self-doubt. At this time, he had retreated into the woods and was kneeling on one knee, inserting his fingers into the soil, closing his eyes and listening to something. Then he stood up suddenly and stopped at several nearby locations. After a while, he walked out of the woods along a straight line:

"The beautiful lady is right. Some people have indeed bumped and trampled on the plants here. Not long ago, I heard the complaints of the little cuties."

Karl's fingers subconsciously rubbed the hilt of the sword, licked his lips and said in a deep voice:

"Someone did run past here in a panic, and then..."

He didn't continue talking, just looked at the clean cliff.

The corpses, blood stains, and broken meat were all gone, as if...the cliff had swallowed them all up.

He wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but the strange association made Lin Qi feel a chill in his back. He felt that the cliff in front of him had become gloomy. He took back the steps he had stepped on, and then took a few steps back.

"Step", there was a sound of footsteps, and the gentle Mr. Rooney passed by Lynch holding an ancient book. Under Lynch's admiring gaze, he walked straight to the cliff, took a closer look, and then raised his hand towards Touched it on the rock wall.

Damn it, are all you professionals so brave?

Lin Qi was shocked when he saw it. He didn't even think about peeling off his skin and subconsciously said: "Wait a minute."

Rooney stopped and looked back at him with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong, haven't you already tested the safety? According to your introduction, the one who was not dead was still crawling around for a while, and blood should be spattered everywhere. That's right, but it doesn't exist now, which means that if there is a problem with the rock wall, there must be a problem with the surrounding ground. Wasn't the action you just stuck on the edge of the theoretical range of blood spraying a test? "

? ? ?

Have I thought about it so much? Why don’t I know it myself? People in this world are really good at brainstorming.

Lynch looked calm and said calmly: "I just think that the visibility is not suitable for the test you are going to do, and I also have other concerns."

"No wonder your employer, Mr. Howard, specifically said that there is no need to worry about your safety. You can take care of yourself better than any of us. I thought he was exaggerating, but I didn't expect that you really consider everything carefully." Rooney said approvingly, "That's right. The effects caused by abilities such as illusion concealment cannot be accurately determined by the test just now. You still have to take risks, and you can't observe the target's overall environment under bright conditions. It doesn't make much sense to just check a corner. , it seems that you are really capable."

Yes, yes, whatever you say is what it is.

Lynch sighed and watched as Rooney listened to the advice and stopped using his hands. Instead, he used a branch and hit it at different locations on the cliff.

But what is transmitted back is the real touch. This is a real rock wall.

That would be strange. Could the victim really disappear out of thin air?

"I suspect that this matter is similar to those strange disappearances before." Carl Jones scratched his head and looked around with his lantern swinging. "It is probably also affected by the mysterious filth radiated from the ancient tomb, or simply triggered the guards of the ancient tomb. mechanism."

"Then let's..." Bearded Jack asked.

"They triggered it and it has nothing to do with us, so they died and we were fine." Karl explained, "I don't know what they did, so it's hard to say whether they really died from the influence of the ancient tomb. I can only say that it's possible. Very sexy."

"How about we go to the entrance of the ancient tomb and take a look first?" Rooney pondered, "Maybe we can find out the problem."

"Entrance..." Karl looked at Dr. Jenna with a troubled expression.

"Actually, little Carl and I are not sure about the specific location of the entrance. Walker deliberately concealed it when he brought us to survey the camp." Dr. Jenna sighed, "Later, Howard said that the location of the entrance is difficult to express. As long as everything is according to the If the planned plan is carried out, we will naturally know the location of the entrance early tomorrow morning. Before that, they could not let us see the entrance in advance. "

For a moment, the unreasonable request made all seven people fall into silence. Except for Judy, everyone else's expressions were a little subtle.

Even Lynch has realized that this is actually equivalent to directly announcing the answer. The six people who suddenly died without any bones are probably the sacrifices that opened the door. It's just that Howard couldn't fully grasp the attitudes of the six people and was afraid of causing more trouble, so he took action before everyone arrived.

"Should we evacuate with ordinary people first?" Jack, the rudest one, suggested it first. The bearded man said seriously, "They are ordinary people after all. We have the right to protect ourselves and have a strong enough will. They But no, something could easily happen.”

"No, in theory, what should have happened has already happened. Withdrawing now will not change what has happened. On the contrary, it will mean that all the people before have died in vain." Even if it involves human lives, Dr. Jenna still has a calm tone. , "And when we entered the mountain, we relied on the light of dusk. Now it is completely dark. It is too dangerous to walk on the mountain road. It is better to stay here and wait and see if the entrance will be opened tomorrow. This operation is special. You don’t think it can be done without killing anyone.”

Under the light, Carl Jones's face looked uncertain, but Salin, a liar who had always been unsociable, suddenly said: "I will definitely continue to complete the mission, no matter what happens."

With that said, he walked directly towards the camp without waiting for other people's opinions.

"Huh, that's the only way it can be." Carl Jones and the bearded Jack Adams looked at each other and sighed, "Then everyone goes to bed early tonight and try to avoid doing anything that may trigger unknown consequences. When the entrance to the ancient tomb opens tomorrow, I hope nothing happens again, at least no more deaths."

I hope so. I will be more vigilant tonight and try not to get into trouble. At least a few people will die less.

Lin Qi suppressed his uneasiness and returned to the camp with the others. At this time, the camp was already bustling. The workers did not know that six lives had just been lost. They still packed their belongings with great interest and gathered around the campfire one after another.

The atmosphere was very lively, but as Lynch who knew the inside story, his heart was still heavy. However, the other people were experienced. Karl lied and said that the six people who came first had prepared everything and left first.

The workers were basically rough men, and no one noticed anything unusual. Dozens of people sang and danced in the camp, filling the entire valley with lively air. But in the darkness outside the fence, no one knows how many shadowy shadows are hidden, peering indifferently at the happy crowd.

However, the seven members of the archaeological team were no longer interested in having fun, so they returned to their rooms early after being divided into barracks. Carl Jones and Dr. Jenna got into a room, Lynch and Judy were in a room as the two remaining women, Rooney and Jack shared a room, and finally the Rangers' insider Salin was in a room alone.

As the time got later, the bonfire gradually burned out, the noisy crowd dispersed, and calm finally returned to the yard.

Everyone had gone back to their houses, except for two groups of vigilantes, wandering around the yard holding lanterns.

Lynch felt a little embarrassed when he returned to the barracks, especially since the barracks was not spacious and the two beds were almost pushed together. As soon as Lynch entered the door, he peeked out from the window on the door to make sure no one was watching. When he turned around, he saw that Judy had sat on her bed and was looking here blankly.

Although this girl always looked like a stranger, she actually had a good foundation. This made Lynch a little at a loss. The key is that the other party knew that he was a man, which made him feel even more uneasy.

Sure enough, the good-for-nothing nature of being an otaku hasn’t changed yet?

Forget it, I have been guarding against the surveillance of the mayor and others these past few days, and I haven’t had a chance to discuss it in detail. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity...

"more than one."

Before Lynch could speak, Judy's eyes suddenly regained their brightness and her voice became normal:

"There are at least two people who have connections with the employer behind the scenes, one overt and one covert. We can't rule out that there are more."

"I won't cancel my disguise to avoid being discovered. What's going on with you?" Lin Qi held it in for several days and finally found the opportunity to ask, "Is it convenient to satisfy my curiosity?"

"When the lady stuffed me with taboo knowledge, she stuffed it too much, and my spirit collapsed. In the end, I had to use this method, split my spirit in half, and occasionally come out for air. I don't know How long can it last? It should last for a few years. In fact, it is quite good to rely on the blessing of the lady, but it is burning my soul every moment and the pain is severe. "

Hiss, eternal torture.

The inexplicable closeness from the strange objects made Lin Qi feel a little distressed, but he didn't know how to comfort him. However, the girl was very tolerant and just smiled casually: "It doesn't matter, aren't we all the same? Before death or madness, , You have to try your best to live, I’m not a special case, let’s talk about this time.”

"Um."

"This time, Howard and the Rangers released information on the black market, saying that they wanted to develop the ancient tomb privately. I applied for the job because I learned from the lady that the Swelling Daughter was involved in this matter. Those people are professional explorers, but their backgrounds are very hidden. As I said just now, there are at least two people who are completely controlled by their employers, one open and one hidden."

"Salin is the open card." Lynch added, "As for the remaining hidden cards, those four look very similar to each other. I will continue to observe and try to limit the ceremony to a controllable range."

"The code you just showed me came from Norin. I know that Jack Adams moved to Rhine from Norin ten years ago, but I don't know about others. I... um?"

Not only Judy was puzzled, Lynch also saw that there was a flash of light in the dark, and the direction seemed to be the lake on the other side of the valley.

Someone couldn't help it so early and wanted to make trouble?

What's the plan? Do you want to go and see?

Lynch hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind, stuffed the fan into Judy's hand, made a gesture to keep quiet, then took two steps back and disappeared in the room.
