The red moon returns

Chapter 198 Late Night Visitor

Lin Qi actually didn't feel good about attending a wealthy cocktail party for the first time.

Indeed, he successfully appeared in the upper-class Rhine society and his performance was well received. Even professionals like Miss Valente believed that his performance was impeccable and laid a solid foundation for the future.

But Lynch always felt full of hostility, and everyone around him had ulterior motives. It was too depressing. He might as well have beaten little Martha at home, or eaten sweet honey with others in the square in front of the train station. Here are the cookies.

Until he left Count Lorende's mansion and saw the carriage with the Valente family crest on it, for some reason, Lynch suddenly felt relaxed.

It's really strange. Not only do I feel relaxed, but even the moonlight feels a lot gentler. It must be my neighbor's fault.

【Um? 】

Nothing, the scenery is nice.

The old butler, with white hair and beard, well-dressed, more like a Rand gentleman than Lynch, was standing next to the carriage. He looked at least sixty or seventy years old, but he was still in high spirits, and his movements to greet the owner were meticulous.

"This is Mr. Louis, the steward of the Valente family. He has retired in recent years. He was worried that I would go to the Rhine by myself, so I came with him. The house here is relatively small, so only six people came with him."

Lynch did not hesitate and told Miss Valente all his speculations as soon as he got in the car.

Officer Natalie Angell and Miss Diana De Valente.

Lin Qi looked innocent, feeling that the old butler might hit him on the head with his cane at any time with graceful movements.

But after listening to Lynch's analysis, Miss Valente couldn't help but laugh.

"No, why should I be careful, and it turns out it was not an excuse just now." Lynch was a little surprised, "Is this really the attitude of Count Valente?"

"Hey, Mr. Louis has watched me grow up. Anyone who bullies me will have his legs broken by Mr. Louis. Mr. Lynch, you must be careful." Miss Valente covered her mouth and smiled before introducing, " After we returned from the ancient city, I was recuperating from my injuries. It was Mr. Louis who personally went to Nolin and reported the situation to my father. He also brought back my father's approval of you."

So Lynch spoke candidly, which made Miss Valente's eyes turn into crescent moons.

It’s not that I believe they are absolutely kind, absolutely righteous, and have no ill intentions. It’s just that one is willing to run all night to save Lin Qi, whom he has never met, and fight against the mystery. One is born in a noble family but is willing to sacrifice himself, and is willing to give up himself in critical moments to take the initiative to act as a sacrifice. The vessel of the evil god. If these two ladies also had bad intentions and were malicious towards Lynch, then he would admit it and would even be willing to help them deceive him.

Seriously, why are you smiling so pretty? No sense of public morality at all.

They are all destined to die anyway.

Perhaps everyone in this city may harbor evil intentions that are questionable, but there are two people whom Lynch absolutely trusts.

Of course, the appearance of an Advent-level strange object does not mean that it will definitely get out of control, and it may be safe, but it would be ridiculous to leave the safety to probability. Especially for a lucky person like Lynch, who can encounter advent-level mysterious events whenever he goes to a bank, it is better to believe in the welfare lottery than to believe in the odds.

Can you just leave? Also, why did your butler look at me so fiercely? I didn't offend him.

"Of course, you can't talk nonsense like this, you have to be responsible. And don't underestimate the Valente family's magnanimity." Miss Valente raised her head and snorted softly, "Please get in the car, I'll take you there You go back home, but I’m curious as to what made you leave the reception in such a hurry, this is already considered early.”

No one wants to have an advent-level wonder hidden around them that may be discovered at any time, just like no one wants to sleep next to a nuclear bomb that may be detonated at any time. If this thing gets out of control, let alone Rhine City, even The surrounding cities will be completely destroyed, and there will be no survivors at all.

Miss Valente agrees with Lynch. It is best to have the gem in your own hands first. If you can't get it, you can't make a hasty decision. Therefore, the top priority now is to collect information from the side and figure out what happened.

But that's tomorrow. The most important question now is... Girl, can you explain where your carriage is taking me?
"Oops, you're on the wrong track. This is the way back to my villa."

You'd better be on the wrong track... Amidst the laughter, the carriage turned around in a panic and turned towards Villa Street, sending Lynch back to Apartment 221 before turning around and leaving.

It seems a bit regretful. Lynch watched the carriage disappear into the night, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised unconsciously. He stood under the moonlight for a long time before returning to the apartment with a smile.

Lynch was a little surprised that the lights were still on in the apartment.

Although it is only the smallest gas lamp in the restaurant, the dim light still exudes endless warmth. Under the light, the golden long hair is particularly conspicuous. It is Mrs. Maggie who is lying at the dining table, raising her head and rubbing her sleepy hair. With sleepy eyes, he stared blankly at Lin Qi who entered the door.

"You're back, Mr. Lynch." The soft voice was a bit confused, and people couldn't help but smile when they heard it, "There is thick soup left in the pot, let me heat it up for you. There should be no food at the reception. , I should be hungry at night."

Huh, even if you want to keep this mouthful of hot soup, you can't let people use advent-level rare items to cause trouble in Rhine City. I don't know, so forget it. Now that I know, I must deal with this matter.

Secretly making up his mind, Lynch persuaded the sleepy Mrs. Maggie to go back to the bedroom, then turned off the lights and returned to the bedroom on the second floor under the moonlight. He was indeed a little tired in the past two days. Lin Qi simply washed himself and threw himself on the bed, basking in the crimson moonlight comfortably, feeling waves of fatigue rising all over his body.

Closing his eyes comfortably, Lynch began his nightly routine of harassment:

'Neighbors neighbor. '

【I am here. 】

"Do you know the door between fiction and truth?"

[I have sensed it, but I have never been in contact with it and I don’t understand it. Although its danger level to you is high, it does not belong to the memories of the mythical age. 】

'Even you know, that's not an ordinary thing. Um? Wait, are you saying that those with high danger levels generally belong to memories from the mythical age? '

[Partly, there are many exceptions. 】

'Is it dangerous? How about compared to the evil god? '

[All high-danger level memories contain fragments of power. The only difference between them and evil gods is that they do not have a supreme will, but they will have special effects. 】

'I understand, it's very scary, slightly worse than the Evil God, but more troublesome to deal with than the Evil God. '

【You can understand it this way. 】

'Heh, I haven't heard you say this for a long time, I...'

"Meow~~~"

Seeing that he was already half asleep, a clear cat meow suddenly came from the window, seemingly right at the window.

Lin Qi was shocked and sat up suddenly.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he met a pair of dark green vertical pupils.

A black cat was squatting on the windowsill, lazily licking its pink paws.

Countess Hathaway, or her cat.
