The red moon returns

Chapter 130 In the Tall Grass

The crimson moon has risen, and the hazy moonlight shines on the Rhine.

Under the moonlight, the wasteland is covered with tall grass more than two meters high, blocking the view like a green gauze tent. Through the gaps between the tall grass, one can see a farmhouse sitting deep in the wasteland. The faint light is faintly visible among the tall grass.

This is the Qingmai District, the largest urban area in the Rhine City. More than 80% of the farmland in the Rhine City is concentrated here, which carries the food and drink needs of the entire Rhine City.

Driven by land purchase orders, land is often used intensively, with large blocks of crops spread out as far as the eye can see. However, farmland full of crops is occasionally interspersed with large areas of wasteland. These wastelands look like they have been abandoned for several years. They are covered with tall grass that is as tall as a person, like a green barrier blocking the outside world's sight. The grass is full of mystery.

Lynch was in this lush grass, quietly staring at the lights of the farmhouse in the distance.

The address I got from Elder Blue and Speaker Grant in the afternoon is here. The wasteland and farm are one of the properties of the Valente family, and the mountain people are hiding in the farmhouse deep in the wasteland.

In two lifetimes, Lynch has learned not to trust others easily, and he did not fully accept what the ghoul elder Blue said. However, after a comprehensive analysis of the information obtained from Miss Diana de Valente, the female reporter Maya, and Elder Blue, there is a high probability that what Elder Blue said is true.

That means that Miss Valente concealed part of the truth in what she said to him before. She just wanted to stabilize Lynch, and the purpose... was probably to delay time, maybe just for this ceremony.

In fact, Lynch still had a good impression of this strange lady, and his attitude didn't seem like someone who was crazy and wanted to destroy the world. At least he was much more likable than Speaker Grant.

He didn't want to be stupidly taken advantage of by the Speaker and the ghoul like a hot-blooded boy, so he decided to take a peek around the farmhouse first, and at least understand the truth before making any adjustments to his position.

However, before touching the farmhouse, he regretted it as soon as he got into the tall grass. This place was much more exciting than he had imagined.

Lin Qi found that he had only entered the tall grass a few meters, and the surrounding visibility had dropped to the minimum. There was only tall grass around, and the farmhouse in the distance appeared and disappeared. Whenever the wind blew, there was a constant sound of rustling around him. There was a strange sound, as if there was some strange existence traveling quickly, and the chirping of insects around him also became louder and quieter, unusually distorted and harsh.

Damn it, looking into the grass with your face can be so dangerous.

This time I was careless. There are some things that people who grew up in the city have a hard time understanding just by watching movies. You will learn a lesson and you will never enter this kind of environment rashly in the future.

After staying in place for a moment to stabilize his emotions, Lynch lowered his body and harassed in his mind: 'Neighbor, I have a friend who is timid and wants you to help confirm the safety of the environment. ’

[There are abnormal manifestations of the mysterious filth here. Your friend had better be vigilant. 】

‘His, he is about to cry and is going to go home and wash his pants. ’

As he said this, Lynch had quickly activated his latent ability, hiding his figure, and at the same time activated his mysterious intuition, and gently brushed his fingers over the surrounding tall grass.

Then he frowned slightly, because he also felt something mysterious and dirty.

The concentration does not increase or decrease in radioactivity, nor is contamination concentrated in a certain area. The concentration of contamination around it is very even, almost exactly the same in every location. It's like the entire area is a whole, and the filth is evenly distributed to every location.

This was not a good sign. It probably meant that there was something wrong with the entire grass. Lin Qi pressed his chest, which was beating rapidly, and looked around cautiously. However, the wind and grass were blowing all around, and he always felt that there was danger hidden everywhere.

‘If mysterious filth suddenly appears around you, can you remind me in time? I was worried about being ambushed. ’

[Okay, be careful. 】

‘Don’t be like this, your soul-shifter is even more nervous. 'Being able to meet the enemy's alarm, Lin Qi was a little relieved, clenched the hand stick and pulled the grass, watching the weak farmhouse with a weak light in the distance, and at least hundreds of meters. …

No, in horror movies the tough ones are the first to die. Lynch gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Evacuate first, go back to a safe place outside, and then think of countermeasures. You can't continue exploring the grass with your face after discovering that it's dangerous.

With his mind made up, Lin Qi no longer hesitated, turned around immediately, lowered his body to the ground, and returned along the way he came. Fortunately, it's not far deep, only a few meters. After turning around, it only takes a few minutes to...

You've walked at least ten meters, why haven't you gone out yet?

Lin Qi felt a chill in his heart and subconsciously looked back in the direction of the farmhouse.

The farmhouse was still dimly lit, and it was difficult to notice any changes in the distance. The tall grass around it seemed to be carved out of the same mold, and it was impossible to tell whether it had moved or not.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down his nervousness, Lin Qi pondered for a moment, then suddenly jumped up. The effect of the cat's favor was still in effect, allowing him to rise as high as a person from the ground. His upper body was sticking out of the tall grass, and his vision was no longer blocked.

Under the moonlight, everything in the field of vision was normal. The edge of the grass was only three or four meters away from the current position. Lynch could even clearly see the country road outside the grass. It was obvious that he could leave with just a few more steps.

With a click, it fell back to the ground, and Lin Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that I had no intention when I came in and had an illusion. The actual distance into the grass was farther than the physical perception.

As soon as Lin Qi landed, he immediately started walking again. The speed was not very fast, but he could cover a distance of several meters very quickly...

He walked at least ten more steps, but still didn't leave, let alone see the path outside?

Lynch's heart sank, and he realized that he was in trouble. There was something wrong with this patch of tall grass.

But how far have I come this time?

It was difficult to judge the distance in the grass. Lynch could only jump up again and look in the direction he entered. However, the moment he saw the environment clearly, Lin Qi's eyes suddenly widened and he fell back into the grass crookedly. He squatted on the ground in a daze. .

All he could see was a patch of dense tall grass, and the country road had appeared more than ten meters away, looming in the darkness.

what's the situation? Going deeper and deeper? Could it be the ability of the old mountain people again?

Lin Qi carefully recalled the feeling of confronting the old mountain man yesterday, and finally shook his head.

It didn't feel like yesterday, and it didn't feel confrontational. If I could describe it accurately, it felt more like there was something wrong with the grass itself.

Hiss, no wonder I just sensed that the mysterious filth was evenly distributed all around. I'm afraid this grass is the defensive barrier for the group of ghouls.

This is trouble.

Lynch gritted his teeth and jumped up to observe again. This time, the front was full of tall grass, making it impossible to tell where he was.

　Yes, I haven't saved the manuscript at all now. It's very sad. I'm working hard to make it up.
