Red Moon Returns

"Of course I sternly refused. This kind of secret method is too dangerous. I will not touch it no matter how useful it is. There is no need to discuss it. But the big dog hugged my leg and howled, tears flowed out, and insisted on it. Teach me the art of summoning hounds. Of course I don't agree. I am a principled person. It is useless no matter how pitiful it is. As a result, not only the big dog, but also other hounds gathered around me and lay down on me. They wouldn't let me go unless I agreed to learn to call them. Alas, I was too kind and couldn't bear to see them disappointed, so I had to agree to their request and reluctantly learned to call the hounds..."

It was getting late outside, and the Yisi people had already left. The three of Lynch, accompanied by Ms. Skye, were having dinner at Milt's house while waiting for reinforcements to arrive. No, let me correct you. The three of them were cautiously waiting for the reinforcements to arrive. At the same time, out of consideration for Ms. Skye's face, they reluctantly agreed to her dinner invitation.

During the dinner, Lynch honestly recounted his experience of this trip, chatting and laughing with the Evil God, making the dogs bow their heads:

"I told him at that time, Lord God, you know, he is so taller than you. I was chatting and laughing with them. If you don't give me the things, if things go wrong in the future, you will be responsible..."

His speech was full of emotion and wonderful, but unfortunately everyone had expressionless faces and silently watched him show off.

However, through this dinner, the three of them had a deeper understanding of the Milt brothers and sisters, or in other words, a deeper understanding of the Hounds of Tindalos and Yog-Sothoth.

The Hounds of Tindalos are average in strength, but physical attacks are ineffective, and only attacks with additional attributes can affect them. In addition to ordinary fangs and sharp teeth, their attacks also include life force absorption that is feared by all experts. Their tongues can be inserted into the target's chest to directly absorb the life force. The victim will not be injured, but the life force will flow away. It's not obvious twice, but the problem is that there are often thousands of hounds when they go out. With one bite from a dog, the victim will soon be sucked into food scraps.

The most troublesome thing about them is that they are tireless, almost immortal, and absolutely persistent. As long as they sense the mark, no matter where they are, they will rush over as soon as possible.

The speed is extremely fast. It is said that every 100 million years in the long river of time only takes one day in the present world, and the time of tens of thousands of years passes in the blink of an eye. It ignores the distance limit and directly opens the face. Therefore, unless the person attacked by them hides in a safe house, they will have no chance to adjust. Let alone sleep, they will not even have time to take a breath, and they will definitely die.

The soul-changers with the power of time and prophecy have the deepest hatred for the Hound, especially the followers of Tavel, the Ancient Eternal.

These guys who have chest pains like to peek through the river of time when they have nothing to do. As long as their strength allows, they also like to physically sneak into the river of time and go to other times to peek at themselves. There may be a few Ms. Skye at some point in time. Peeping, when they first met, she showed familiarity with Lynch and Natalie for this reason.

Of course, this is also the reason why they frequently encounter hounds. Whether it is snooping or physically sneaking in, the longer the time span, the easier it is for them to encounter hounds, and then they start to fall in love and kill each other for the rest of their lives.

Lin Qi really didn't understand the meaning of peeping at him. Isn't it bad to live? There is a reason why Tavel has so few followers.

All I can say is, respect the fate of others, as long as they don’t find it troublesome.

Actually I think so.

"I'm lucky. I only have more than twenty marks on my body, which means there are only more than twenty hounds chasing me."

"What does "only" mean..." Lin Qi felt that his world view was a little shaken, and sighed, "The more than twenty you said must not be referring to the number. You are really amazing."

"Of course." Ms. Skye smiled and nodded, looking proud.

I'm not complimenting you.

It is difficult to understand Lynch's feelings without having any contact with the two ladies, but Lynch has petted dogs in the river of time. He knows the characteristics of hounds very well. One never refers to the real 'one', but this The existence of an individual at every point in time.

Perhaps for people who deal exclusively with time, there is a big difference between one and a hundred, but for Lynch, there is no difference between one and a hundred million.

"There is still a difference." Ms. Skye explained seriously. "With a small number of marks, we can hide them in a short time and live like normal people. I can now chat with you because of this skill."

"As normal as this?"

The three of them pointed expressionlessly behind Ms. Skye. At some point, several clouds of blue smoke appeared there.

The lady bounced up with a howl and disappeared into the restaurant in an instant. The unformed hound also chased after her like the wind. A few minutes later, Ms. Skye returned to the restaurant and sat down in front of the dull eyes of the three people. Her expression was as usual. He said: "Well, it's just normal."

As a result, Lynch was seriously considering learning Landish again, and he suspected that he had misunderstood some vocabulary words.

"This is normal. After killing or getting rid of them, just hide the mark again. Just like my brother, it won't work."

The countess asked curiously: "Excuse me, how many marks are there on Mr. Milt's body? I just saw the number... cough."

The overwhelming and spectacular scene appeared in front of Lin Qi's eyes again, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Well... seven years ago, he gave up calculations when he determined the number one thousand and one. Now it's probably close to five thousand."

"..."

The three of them felt exhausted and didn't want to make any comments.

"It's not as pitiful as you think. We do have to hide in the safe house every day, but our sight can still wander in the river of time and witness the scenery you have never imagined. We have witnessed the first flash of this world, the explosion of nebulae, the destruction of stars, and countless meteorites falling from the sky, turning the earth into a sea of ​​fire. In order to witness these, we are willing to do so."

This made the three of them put away their joking mood. Lin Qi finally realized that this was also a seeker on the road of seeking knowledge, and he would do anything to pursue his goal.

Even if the price was his own life.

This kind of person is actually a bit scary, but also worthy of respect.

"And there is another advantage of hiding in the safe house and spying, that is, even if the hound finds us, it can't find us. Moreover, my brother and I can use the river of time to contact each other through consciousness from time to time. Although it is difficult to meet, we are always together until the day when death separates us."

"Will there be?"

"Every 'person' will have it, no one is exempt." Ms. Skye smiled meaningfully and quickly looked away, "My brother just informed me that the assassin is dead."

Lin Qi was stunned and nodded slightly.

Another person died in his hands, but he found that he was almost calm and peaceful. Habit is indeed a terrible thing.

"By the way, my brother also asked me to inform you to run away quickly, someone is coming to settle accounts with you."

Huh?

When he was stunned, he heard the sound of rolling wheels coming from outside the window.
