The red moon returns

Chapter 274 Ms. Selene

As usual, the exterior of the mansion is fully controlled by blue uniforms. No one can enter or exit at will, whether by car or on foot.

What's more, inside the mansion, some of the security companies and waiters are police from the Hall of Order controlled by the Rangers. They also form a second line of defense to ensure that the target cannot leave the venue.

This means that Officer Natalie Angell must still be at the venue.

Moreover, professionals have set up tracking information on both of them before. It should not be difficult to find them by following the information.

But after searching for a few times, I found nothing.

Only Lin Qi was sitting in a corner of the venue, holding the cane in his left hand in a strange posture. He was holding a crystal clear wine glass in his right hand and quietly sipping red wine.

The female companion Natalie Angell who had been with him before had disappeared out of thin air. A group of professionals searched for him for ten minutes but in vain.

Where is it?

At this time, the originally determined Ranger Walker and the seventh-level cultist Kelvin could no longer sit still. They kept giving orders in the shadows. With the two as the center, an invisible commotion spread quietly. People lurking among the guests and waiters responded in various ways. For this reason, he started to search for traces of Officer Natalie Angell in every corner of the Earl's Mansion.

You couldn't see his expression in the darkness, but you could feel the anger in Walker's chest just by listening to his voice.

But even so, bad news came back to Walker and Kelvin.

In the darkness, the elegant Kelvin suddenly punched the relief column and laughed in anger:

Even a cunning cultist like Kelvin was at a loss for the moment. He and Walker looked at each other, confused about Lynch's plan.

"Mr. Kelvin." Walker scratched his head in distress, "Just tell me what you think. It won't be more unacceptable than agreeing to his conditions."

But it turns out it can.

"Well, on the one hand, he made no secret that the gem was on him, but on the other hand, he activated the power of the Watcher to prevent your people from approaching for investigation. This is actually a cover-up. In reverse, he is covering up. The fact that the gem is not on him. Now that he realizes that we may have discovered his purpose and knows that he is useless, he begins to keep a low profile, huddled in the corner holding a wine glass and drinking one cup after another to eliminate his own. Sense of presence.”

"That's right, it means that the looming target is not a false alarm caused by ordinary information inaccuracy, but a hidden third related target that only emerged after one of the main targets disappeared for unknown reasons." Kelvin showed a ferocious expression. With a smile, he gritted his teeth and said, "Did they all point to the same target those few times?"

"Oh, just tell me if you need help." A sinister voice came out from the shadows behind the two people, "Although these little things are cunning, they still can't escape my control. As long as I take action, I can easily hold them in my hands and help you get the gems back, but that’s my request, hehehe..."

"I finally understand, this cunning bastard. His sudden low-key was to give the stage to the disappearing police officer. The police officer's disappearance was the second cover-up. He used disappearance to attract our attention and let us waste our time looking for her. , and the gem may not be with either of them from beginning to end, they are the public bait.”

"Didn't you set a mark? Why can't you find it? Can a living person disappear out of thin air? Find it for me."

"Hiss, you are right. Thanks for reminding me, I have an idea." Kelvin frowned and said, "He wants to deliver the gem publicly. This behavior is understandable, not only for fame, but also to deliver it in front of many witnesses. , can avoid a lot of trouble later, and the relationship with the incident ends here, but he should not be so high-profile. Normally, he should hide the gem in his hands until the princess comes out, but he not only does it. There is no cover-up, but he is so high-profile, as if he is afraid that we will not know that the gem is on his body. This behavior is indeed abnormal. "

Coincidentally, the watchmen's defenses were obviously relaxed. Even the defenses around Lynch were basically withdrawn. The withdrawal was as abrupt as when they appeared, except for occasionally appearing as a tease to cause some trouble for the Rangers. Apart from that, I can no longer feel their movement.

The Rangers did indeed set tracking messages on the two of them, but the information returned at this time only left Lynch. The other piece of information disappeared most of the time and only surfaced occasionally, but when I followed the information and looked for it, I was led to other invited guests, not the target officer Natalie at all.

What does he want to do? Where did you hide the gem?
Staring at Lin Qi who was leisurely tasting wine in the distance, the two of them clenched their fists for a moment.

"Then I'll wait patiently." The man in the shadow said quietly, "Looking at your hard work, I'll give you a hint. Based on my research on him, his behavior today was wrong from the beginning, and there was definitely something wrong with it. "

No, no, still no.

"Those are too easy to detect and cannot escape the detection of the watchers. The mysterious correlation we use is more complicated, but its concealment and accuracy are very high."

"That gem..."

The two of them were not surprised by this, but upon hearing the last request, their faces immediately turned livid. He gritted his teeth and moved his lips, as if silently speaking friendly words. Finally, Walker took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. Said: "We don't need your help for the time being, we can solve it."

"Mr. Walker." Kelvin suddenly interrupted the inquiry and said hurriedly, "How did your men mark those two people, by smell or light effect?"

Walker was stunned, called his subordinates to come over and muttered a few words, and then said with a gloomy expression and a stiff voice: "It's the same target."

"Who?"

"The Countess from Nolin, Diana de Valente, the soul-changer of the Church of Misery."

"Is she the aristocratic lady who came forward to help Lin Qi tide over the difficulties at the last cocktail party?"

"That's her. Damn it, she almost leaked the information about my contact with the Swollen Monastery. It was through this woman that Levi obtained it. Inspector Bruno also reminded me of her existence. I shouldn't ignore her. She must have secretly secreted things. Brought in, Lynch drew attention and stalled for time, while she..."

"Dang, Dang"

The bell rang over the venue, signaling the official start of the reception. The door of the mansion slowly opened, and Princess Chloe, who was dressed in a dress, left the mansion and walked to the garden with the support of the maid. For a moment, all the guests stood up, clapped softly, and greeted Her Royal Highness.

In the crowd, an aristocratic lady wearing a light green dress held a folding fan and walked towards Princess Chloe. It seemed that she wanted to replace the supporting maid and appear with Her Royal Highness to give the opening speech to show the intimacy between the two parties. .

Countess of the Valente family.

It was not considered a violation of etiquette, but it attracted everyone's attention. Walker in the dark also pinched the bush hard.

Damn it, I fell into the trap, I'm going to miss this time, what should I do?

"Don't worry." Kelvin stared closely at Miss Valente's every move and said with a stern face, "As long as I am here, the gem cannot escape. As long as she dares to expose the gem to my sight, I can remove the gem." Although there is only one chance and our intention will be exposed, the success rate is extremely high."

"It's all up to you, Mr. Kelvin."

Just as he was talking, Miss Valente had already walked up to Chloe, whispered a few words, then took out a small jewelry box from the hem of her skirt and opened it in front of everyone.

"What I want is this moment. I want them to bear this shame in front of everyone, and let them be laughed at by everyone, hehehehe."

In the darkness, Kelvin's vicious laughter came.

The moment the jewelry box was opened, a red light lit up from the box. However, the red light only flashed away, and the box became dim in the blink of an eye.

"what."

A low voice came from the direction of Miss Valente. The noble lady looked at the jewelry box in her hand in surprise. There was nothing in it.

Behind the dark bushes not far away, Kelvin, a believer of the Flasher, squinted his eyes and snapped his fingers. Then a light flashed in the palm of his other hand, and a crimson gem appeared in his hand.

"Haha, I told you, I can't escape from the gem."

Kelvin smiled reservedly and stretched out the hand holding the gem in front of Walker:

"Please, our cooperation this time..."

"It went well...it's wrong." As soon as Walker took the gem, his expression changed immediately, "There is no temperature, this gem is fake."

"what?"

"A real gem is warm when you start it, but this one is cold. This thing is a fake." The gap from hope to disappointment made the muscles on Walker's face distorted.

"Impossible." Kelvin also lost his elegance and roared angrily, "How come they have fake gems on them?"

"He must have prepared it in advance. Damn it, where did he find such a similar fake?"

The two of them were furious, but Lynch in the corner finally put down his wine glass reluctantly, glanced at the two of them intentionally or unintentionally, then held his cane in a strange posture and looked towards Chloe with a calm expression. The princess walked over.

It's over.

Now both Walker and Kelvin knew that they had been deceived. The thing was actually still on Lynch, but it was hidden using a special method. Now, he was going to deliver the task.

"Mr. Kelvin." Walker shouted with red eyes, "Can we do it again?"

"Impossible, the consumption is too great, there is only one chance." Kelvin beat his forehead in frustration, "I understand, that fake gem was just to deceive our trump card, and what he is going to deliver now is the real one. ”

For a moment, despair and regret filled their hearts, but it was too late to do anything. They could only watch as Princess Chloe quickly approached.

"Pfft, do you need my help? Gentlemen, I said that as long as I am willing, they can't escape my control. Haha, giving them a fatal blow when they are most proud is also a very interesting story. "

"I, I, Ms. Selene, are you really sure you can help us get the gem?"

"What do you think? I have our own means."

On the bench in the darkness, a face half covered by a fan appeared, and charming eyes swept across Walker's face teasingly:
"As long as you are willing to pay the price, hehehe."

Walker's expression was distorted as if he was being targeted by seventeen or eight big men. He was about to cry. He gritted his teeth at the end and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Ms. Selene."

There was a chuckle from behind the fan, and a slender hand emerged from the darkness, gently grabbing Lin Qi's direction.
