The red moon returns

Chapter 178 Natalie’s Message

Lin Qi was in a daze for a moment.

It was difficult for him to describe what he saw.

The long green river flows slowly, with no beginning or end. Countless green flames floated and swayed on the surface of the river, and faint cries and heart-rending screams came from the depths of the long river. The faint long river seemed to exude an unparalleled attraction, which was terrifying. But it is full of mystery, making people want to join in it unconsciously and become one with the river.

Wandering aimlessly, Lin Qi didn't know how much time had passed. Time had lost its meaning here. There was no difference between one second and hundreds of millions of years. Lin Qi was wandering like this, even his spirit became more and more numb and sluggish, until he reached the point between his eyebrows. There was a sharp pain.

"Hot, hot, hot."

Lin Qi jumped up with a cry and rubbed the center of his eyebrows that were reddened by the cigarette rod. Then he realized that he had returned to the dark secret room. The red-haired lady was holding the cigarette rod in her mouth and looking at him at close range. A faint smell of stale items drifted into his nose along the fiery red hair.

"Are you awake?" Mrs. Bessie's eyes flickered, staring into Lynch's eyes, and raised a finger, "What day is this?"

"……fifteen?"

"I have become a fool. It seems that I need to use a thirty-pound ceremony..."

"One, yes one."

"I mean what if, what if."

laugh.

"I don't want to!" Mrs. Bessie moved her cigarette rod and seemed to have difficulty resisting the urge to hit Lynch on the head. However, she finally relented and explained, "Theoretically, you should have peeked into the underworld. The river flows on the boundary between this world and the other side, crossing the strange river of life and death. What flows in the Styx River is not water, but the fire of the soul. All the deceased must cross the River of Styx to wash away the fire of the soul after death. , the soul can cross the River Styx, enter the kingdom of Hades, and return to eternal sleep. If you just lost and unconsciously broke into the River Styx, you will never come back, because although Hades has fallen now, everything Its operation is not affected, and as soon as it enters the River Styx, it is on the road to the other side.”

"That's aggregation and greed, but you have to conceptually rob the authority of another god first, and there will be more than one, and you will be besieged by all the gods. And you are only a mortal."

"Each main god will have at least one exclusive main divine power, usually their title, such as the craftsman and the craftsman of the Lord of Fire, the blazing sun of the Sun Lord, the joy of the joyful maiden, in addition to the main power, other powers It’s all shared with other gods.”

"Huh? Do you really have the power of a money addict?"

"Huh? What if someone brings together a certain shared power and turns it into a single exclusive power?"

The red-haired lady smiled contemptuously, with an expression like "I can't cure you yet": "It seems that your mental recovery is okay, and you are not lost on the other side. Yes, but if you don't want to leave permanent trauma, you should take care of everything you just saw as soon as possible. forget."

"It's impossible. No god can do such a thing, let alone an evil god or even a human being."

'Neighbor, is this okay? Does this mean that if I continue like this, I don’t need to occupy your divine power, and I will have the opportunity to reach the highest level? '

"What are those things?" the question blurted out, and then he realized that the other party did not know what he saw, "I saw..."

"Huh? You want to hear from the evil god? By coincidence, I just have it."

There is no voice in my head, I hope I am not studying how to kill me with the red moon. Lynch stopped delving into the issue of divine authority and followed the impatient red-haired lady out of the secret room.

[Lynch, I said, you don’t need to worry about my whereabouts, I have my own arrangements. 】

"There really is a god of the underworld." Lin Qi was stunned, "Then my power of death is not competing with him for divine power?"

"What is exclusive divine right?"

'Whether I worry about you or not is my business. It has nothing to do with you. Take a good look at your scenery and don't affect my choice. '

"That means the birth of a new god." The red-haired lady glanced at Lynch, "For example, if you concentrate all the power of Money Fan on yourself, you will be the new Lord of Money Fan."

"Don't you think about why he is called the God of Hades and not the God of Death? His exclusive divine power should be the kingdom of the dead rather than death. The power of death is scattered in the hands of several different gods. As far as I know, at least Mother Earth Kaia, Nyx, the goddess of night, Shireen, the lord of the sea, Fiona, the lord of suffering, and Luna, the red moon lady you follow, all share part of the power of death. Oh, by the way, Tyr, the lord of war It seems to have been shared, but I’m not sure.”

This was the first time that a professional mystic was willing to explain theological knowledge to Lynch. The key was that he could explain it clearly and not have as many taboos as believers of the Lord God, so Lynch listened very carefully.

"Stop, I don't want to know, thank you." Mrs. Bessie glared at Lynch and said angrily, "You actually want to repeat this kind of thing to me. Why don't you describe the image of the evil god to me? Do you think you didn’t kill me last time or do you think it’s a pity that I recovered?”

"Are you sure you've learned it?"

As soon as I returned to the prop shop, the weird atmosphere in the secret room was immediately gone, and even the dim light of the gas lamp felt a lot warmer. Hearing Mrs. Bessie's question, Lynch finally remembered the business. He closed his eyes and felt quietly that there were two more light spots in the soul image besides the light ball representing the power of death.

The ability Death Prediction inspired by the battle with the twisted body, and the newly learned ability Death Resonance.

Death prediction is a very good ability. It can instinctively predict the location and time of the next fatal attack, but it is probabilistic, that is, it can only be treated as a surprise and cannot be completely relied on.

As for the ability of dying resonance, after the experience just now, Lin Qi always felt that the light spot was filled with gloomy energy, which made him shudder.

"Well, indeed, the eight pounds was indeed not in vain."

"Of course, I never sell fakes."

"Huh? That statue just now?"

"Oh, I usually don't sell fakes." The red-haired lady changed her words confidently, blew out a plume of smoke at Lin Qi, and said lazily, "What else do you want to spend money on?" This made Lin Qi think of it. : "Do you have soul-returning grass here? I want to buy some for spare use."

Then he found that the red-haired lady was looking at him with an evil look.

What's going on? That thing isn't for sale?

Mrs. Bessie asked with admiration: "Do you know what that is?"

"Strengthen your will against the filthy herbs."

"That thing comes from the New World. It can only grow in the barren Soul Wilderness. The effect is indeed good, but the annual output is too low. Because of that thing, the Soul Wilderness has become the most fiercely contested place for pioneering teams from various countries. Every year, the seven major countries will A large-scale armed conflict broke out there in order to occupy a larger production area of ​​the soul-returning grass. In fact, it is not expensive, only twenty pounds."

“A kilogram or a pound?”

"...One gram, and the price is just a number. It has no meaning, because it is difficult to find the source of the goods. Anyway, I can't find it here. Having a spare gram is a life-saving strategic material. How can it be sold? .”

The corner of Lynch's mouth twitched, and he realized that he was really distracted, and he actually tried to try something that Miss Valente used every day.

"You don't need that expression. There is a lower substitute for it, Ningshenhua. Normal people use this. It's relatively cheap, only five pounds and one hundred grams."

"Do you have any misunderstanding about the word cheap?" Lin Qi almost broke out in a cold sweat.

"Do you have any misunderstanding about the mysterious material?"

"Well, it's true."

My heart aches, but I still have to spend the money that needs to be spent. However, when I see one hundred grams of Ningshen flower being made into loose tobacco and packed into a big package, Lin Qi is full of satisfaction. However, Just as Mrs. Bessie was about to hand it over, she took her hand back.

"This thing is more effective the stronger your willpower is, so most soul-shifters don't use it very much, because the effect on them is very poor, and their will often collapses before they have time to use it. If you think this is useful, it means you have a good will, then I’ll recommend you a matching strange item.”

As he spoke, he took out an ancient and simple pipe from the counter.

It's not the long women's pipe that Mrs. Bessie holds, but a men's pipe similar to that used by some detectives, with a brown surface and a mysterious luster.

[Lawrence's pipe, the legendary investigator Lawrence smoked a pipe, faced evil spirits again and again and returned safely, until lung disease took his life. 】

"Your inspiration is really exaggerated. That's right. Lawrence's pipe is a terrifying item. Using it to burn various mysterious materials will enhance the effect by fifty percent. It also has wake-up and calming functions, which can help the user. Think calmly and get rid of the fear caused by filth. The containment method is also very simple. Use essential oils to maintain it once a day, otherwise it will get out of control and make people around you suffer from insomnia for at least a month."

Hiss, this is such a good thing, Lin Qi was immediately tempted.

The effect is indeed attractive, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that it is handsome. It was handsome and effective, so it was perfect. However, this was recommended by the profiteer in front of him, and Lin Qi was filled with an ominous premonition.

"It's cheap, I have all cheap products here, don't worry." The red-haired lady's eyes almost narrowed into slits, "Plus the Ningshen Flower, I'll give you twenty pounds, ah, I'll give you the Calming Cold Flower, Lifting Flower, Try five grams each of Qingxincao (Chinese Heart Grass) for concentration and Dreaming Leaf (Dream Leaf) for stimulating mental divergence and trance. If the effect is good, remember to buy from me next time."

With that said, without waiting for Lin Qi to refuse, he had already skillfully wrapped the things for him, pushed them across the counter with a smile, and delivered them to Lin Qi.

Wait, is there something wrong?

Twenty pounds of rare objects and herbs, eight pounds of ritual materials, and ten and a half pounds of mysterious documents. Lin Qi counted on his fingers for a long time and realized that after shopping around, the fifty pounds that made him so proud were now only a little more than ten pounds.

At this moment, Lin Qi felt that the smile on the red-haired lady in front of him was so evil. Lin Qi felt heartbroken. He dropped the twenty-pound note, hugged the package and ran away, saying a leisurely thank you for your patronage far away. Throw it behind you.

It’s too dark, I will never come back again if I don’t have money.

But it was worth the money. Lin Qi touched the paper bag that smelled of green grass, showed a satisfied smile, and hurried back to No. 221 Villa Street before dark, ready to play with the luxury goods he purchased. .

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Maggie in an apron followed by a small attendant. Mother and daughter were busy preparing dinner in and outside the kitchen. When she saw Lynch, Mrs. Maggie immediately showed a warm smile.

"Are your legs okay? Hehe, that's good. Dinner will be ready soon. You can go up and rest for a while. By the way, Natalie came to see you just now. She was quite serious. I heard that you haven't come back yet. It seems I was a little disappointed and left.”

Ok?

"Did she say anything else? When should I go find her again?"

"No, she didn't say anything, she just said she knew and then left."

Not right.

Lin Qi's heart immediately rose.

As soon as they separated, he came to the door again, but he couldn't wait, so he left immediately, and he was very serious. There must be something urgent and important.

But why didn't you leave a message? Could it be that you were hesitating whether to continue asking me for help?

If something goes wrong, there must be something wrong.

The more Lin Qi thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and left.

"I'm going to the station square. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."
