The red moon returns

Chapter 113 Only one step away

In the extraordinary world, there are fixed types of powers, but abilities vary according to one's own understanding of powers. Almost everyone is different, so it is difficult to measure by strength. We can only say whether it is useful or not.

An ability like this priest is really... quite useless.

First of all, it only takes effect on murder cases. Secondly, the time of death cannot exceed ten minutes. But the most important thing is that it can only sense the location of the murderer at the time of the murder.

In most murders, the murderer is present at the scene of the crime, so the scope of application of this ability is too small, but it must be admitted that it is still very useful in certain specific situations.

Such as now.

With Lynch's ability to peel off the cocoon, he forced the opponent to kill the puppet on the spot in advance, which just met the time requirement of the ability.

In such a short period of time, the dock was in a blocked state, making it difficult for the other party to escape.

Knight Rick immediately directed the sailors to assemble and prepare to attack the target, while Lynch and Trinleth stayed in the infirmary, watching the priest's actions anxiously.

[Power, death, ability, revenge of the dead]

The moment the ability took effect, a breeze blew towards his face.

The air is cold, depressing, terrifying, and desolate, and the desperate moans and wailings echo gently in the breeze, making people shudder.

That world that does not belong to the light only represents death and the end. It is as if at this moment, the worlds of the living and the dead meet, and the living have a glimpse of the secrets of the dead world. For a moment, Lin Qi seems to see a long river rushing in front of his eyes. , there are countless flickering green flames floating inside.

This scene should have been scary, but Lynch felt inexplicably familiar and at ease, as if he were meeting an old friend.

‘Is death also your authority? ’

【Um. 】

"I saw it, it's on the dock." Just when Lynch was harassing his own god, the priest, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly shouted out in surprise, took the map of the dock handed over by the soldier, and drew the specific location.

It is indeed right on the dock, not even far from the long bridge where the big ship is docked, only forty or fifty meters.

There are a few rows of small warehouses on the edge of the square where cargo ships can be rented to temporarily store goods. When the dock was blocked before, only the surrounding workers and travelers were blocked, and no one paid attention to the locked warehouses.

It's here. I didn't expect it to be hidden within less than fifty meters, but that's okay. This is a controlled area from beginning to end. It's impossible for anyone to come in or out. The enemy hiding inside has absolutely no way to escape.

In the blink of an eye, the large group of people had already pressed forward.

It was nothing like the scenes in previous police movies, which made Lynch extremely regretful.

There were no police cars and sirens filling the streets, and no one held up a loudspeaker and shouted to surrender and surrender. Everyone quietly walked around the warehouse from both sides, and at least forty rifles were aimed at the surroundings of the warehouse.

The door was locked from the outside, and everything seemed normal. However, four priests with knight identities were already standing ready under the leadership of Rick. They were hiding behind a pile of goods not far from the warehouse door, and waited until the sailors had completed the siege. , Rick Knight clenched his fist again, and then punched the air.

At the same time, the shadow of the warehouse squirmed, condensing into a fist of darkness at the door, and then slammed on the door. The heavy solid wood door was smashed into pieces, flying inward like cannonballs.

The next moment, gunshots rang out.

It was the soldiers who were on front defense who fired a volley at the same time as the door was smashed open. The roar of the gunfire was deafening.

Smoke filled the air, bullets flew, and sparks continued to arouse around the warehouse door.

As the round of volleys ended, Rick drew his sword and strode out with four black-robed knights with a sword in one hand and a revolver in the other. Four in front and four behind, the five of them seemed to run out with the momentum of thousands of troops. , forced his way into the dark entrance of the warehouse.

"superior."

The commanding officer outside gave an order, and more than a dozen sailors with rifles followed closely behind, rushing in without fear of death, and then bursts of sharp scoldings rang out in the darkness.

The whole process was so fast that Lynch didn't even react at the beginning, and certainly not at the end.

Are you all police officers from country x? How come you emptied the magazine right at the beginning?

He missed the gentle Officer Natalie very much now. Being pinned to the ground was much gentler than being greeted directly by bullets.

But have you caught the enemy?

Hearing the movement inside gradually end, Lin Qi couldn't hold back his curiosity and followed him into the warehouse. Before his eyes could adapt to the change in light, Lynch realized that the smell of blood was quite strong, and it seemed that someone was indeed hiding in the warehouse.

Soon, his eyes adjusted to the dim gas light in the warehouse, and Lynch finally saw clearly what was inside.

The warehouse was not big and there were no goods inside. There were only three people hiding on the edge of the warehouse. One of them had been beaten into a fishing net and lay motionless on the ground covered in blood.

The other one held two revolvers in his hand, but his head flew off, obviously cut by a sword, and the sword in Knight Rick's hand was bleeding. You can imagine what happened.

Another man was shot twice but not fatally. He was lying on the ground wailing. Two soldiers were pressing him down and bundling him into a ball. Their actions were quite violent.

Take a closer look, you can see that the two dead men were strong and had fierce faces. They were wearing tattered coarse cloth clothes. Their skin was tanned, with scars everywhere. There were also a few white salt grains in their hair. At first glance, it looked like they were A sailor who lives at sea all year round.

Although the injured one was not wearing formal clothes, he was still neatly dressed, with a moustache and a cunning look on his face. Even at this time, his eyes were still wandering around.

"Two pirates and a smuggler." Rick said with a sullen face and bitterly, "They are all ordinary people, there is no Davis, and there is no flashing cultist."

"Did we find the wrong one?" Lin Qi looked a little confused, "It's not an accidental attack, right?"

"People who lock the door and hide in the dark on such occasions cannot be considered accidental injuries. Even if they are really accidental injuries...May the Lord bless them, holy." Knight Rick crossed himself on his chest, "In fact, this combination It is very common for smugglers who are familiar with the terrain to help find safe houses and hide with wanted criminals to prepare for action. Now it is very likely that the two soul changers escaped in time, leaving only three ordinary people who did not have time to escape. But it doesn’t matter, we There is still one living mouth. Living water pirates are of little significance, and it is difficult to pry open their mouths, but the smugglers are different. They still want to live, otherwise they would not moan so loudly on purpose. "

As he spoke, he motioned to the officer with his eyes. The officer immediately took two steps forward and kicked the smuggler's wound.

"Shut up now, shout one more time, and I'll open another hole for you."

The screams stopped immediately, and the smuggler was picked up by the sailors.

"Excuse me, I didn't know they would do such a thing." The smuggler said with a sad face, "I just want to make some pocket money, who knew they..."

"You all know the rules of the army. Stop talking nonsense to me. If you answer honestly, you will live and get a reward of one pound. If you don't tell the truth, you will die. It's that simple."

The officer held a pound note in one hand and drew his sword with the other:

"Tell me where the others are."

The smuggler immediately reached for the banknotes and said, "They escaped."

"several."

"two."

"When?"

"Two minutes ago."

"Fart, the dock was full of soldiers two minutes ago. How could they escape?"

"It's true, Captain, they disappeared in a flash." The smuggler pointed to the corner, "It's right there. It seems like something was dropped. You rushed in before we had a chance to go over and take a look."

Ok?

Lynch motioned to the soldiers not to get close to avoid being affected by the mystery, and walked over by himself.

There was also a piece of paper lying on the ground. When he opened it, he saw another portrait of the Ancient Flasher.

"I don't know how they escaped, but they hid a speedboat nearby, and they must have escaped there. But I don't know where they hid."

"That's not important anymore."

Rick Knight sighed and looked at the water with Lynch. Boats were coming and going on the water, the most numerous being small boats.

He was only one step slower, but they still escaped. Now it was hard to find him.
