The red moon returns

Chapter 277 The mole catches the mole

Why are you looking for me? How could you possibly find me?

The eyes behind the fan flickered, and Lin Qi was already alert.

It's so unexpected. Would anyone give such an important task to someone they just met? He's not worried... Well, it seems like there's really nothing to worry about.

Thinking carefully about his current identity, the Swollen Daughter itself is the most important partner, and he is the representative of the Swollen Daughter. He even took out other people's secret books just now to scare people, so there is no abnormality in his identity.

And I come from the small world of the Bloated Daughter. I rarely go out into the real world and have nothing to do with all the forces. I have no reason to protect anyone. I am the best candidate to find a traitor.

Coupled with the actions just now, the chance for the ceremony to go smoothly depends on her taking the final step to retrieve the gems. If she didn't really want the ceremony to be successful, she could sabotage the operation just by being indifferent.

Hiss, it seems that I have been trying too hard to prepare my identity these days. With my current identity, I am afraid that Mayor Howard will not doubt anyone in the villa, but he will not doubt himself.

What if I say Walker is a traitor?
Looking across Walker's face, the leader of the Rangers suddenly shuddered and looked at the door and window in confusion.

There is no seam, why is there a dark wind blowing through.

Forget it, you can't always pull out the hair of a sheep and let him go first. Do business first. If you are worried about not being able to figure out the cause and effect of everything, the opportunity will come to your door.

"Haha... It's an interesting proposal, but I refuse."

Refusing to welcome, retreating to advance, meaningful laughter came from behind the fan, and Lynch tried hard to imitate the behavior of the monsters he came into contact with in the monastery:
"Just because I like to watch the excitement doesn't mean I like to be a part of it. It's enough for me to just watch from behind."

"Ms. Selene, this matter is related to whether the ceremony can be held smoothly, and will directly affect our transaction with that lady." Mayor Howard frowned and said seriously, "This matter is important, please consider it carefully. Make a decision.”

"Isn't that more interesting? What does your deal with the Swollen Daughter have to do with me, Selene? You want me to help...heh."

"I understand." Howard looked at Walker, seeming to have thought of what he had just experienced, and nodded thoughtfully, "Don't worry, we won't let your help go in vain, but given your special hobbies, you must be very important to this world. I have absolutely no interest in money and property.”

Oops, you shot yourself in the foot... Well, I don't think so. In fact, I don't mind at all if you use the Rand Pound to kill me.

It's a pity that Lin Qi dared to think but not speak, so he could only show an incomprehensible smile.

"Let's see, the content of our transaction with that lady is news about another Advent-level rare item." Mayor Howard pondered for a moment before saying, "When the transaction comes, we will hand over the news to you, and you will report it to That lady. This is enough to please that lady, it should..."

Hiss, the risk this time was really not in vain, there was such explosive information at the beginning, and the evil god was interested in the news of advent-level rare objects in exchange for the mirror. It seemed that this was the truth of their deal with the evil god.

Just accept it as you see fit. It would be nice if you could exchange it for this kind of core secret. Moreover, even the evil gods are interested in the fifth-level wonders, and there must be fragments of divine power in them. The divine power of this mirror is just a copy and is of no use to me, but that is not necessarily the case for that one.

"I want to see sincerity." The eyes behind the fan became cold, "The name of the strange object."

"Light of Miracles."

Light? Neighbor.

【……】quietly.

Okay, I understand, at least it’s not a big difference.

Lin Qi suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly: "Tell me the ins and outs of this matter. Remember, no matter whether you think it is useful or not, even if it is something I already know, tell me in detail." this……"

"If you want me to help, just follow my method, or you can figure it out on your own. This is my consistent attitude." Lynch raised his chin towards Walker, "Of course I have my reasons for asking like this. It's your business if you don't understand. Now let’s start with why there are so many inexplicable people here.”

The strong attitude dispelled Mayor Howard's suspicion, and he finally felt relieved and slowly unfolded the entire conspiracy in front of Lynch.

Through certain channels, Prince William got information about the Gate of Falsehood and Reality from a secret intelligence organization, and through the method provided by the other party, he sacrificed more than 300 lives, and had to sacrifice 300 people every time he entered. After five people, a connection was finally established with the little world of the Swollen Daughter, and a deal was finally struck.

If you want to obtain the Door of Illusion and Reality, you must conduct a complex ritual in both the present world and the world of the Swollen Daughter. The ritual requires the participation of ten people, five inside and outside.

These special personnel were all summoned from the outside world. Some had legal status, and some were even wanted criminals like the pirate Davis. There were twelve people in total. The reasons for summoning were different, but no one knew that this matter was related to the Advent-level miracles. They all thought it was just a relatively dangerous ritual.

As for why such an important ceremony requires someone from outside, Howard did not explain in detail, but only mentioned the necessary conditions for the ceremony. Lin Qi didn't ask further questions. He already realized from the other party's attitude that these people would probably die in the ceremony and were important cannon fodder.

The people currently living in this manor are these strange participants and their entourage.

But now the problem arises. Mayor Howard and Walker discovered that there was a mole among the twelve people, and there was more than one.

Seeing that everything is ready, preparations can start tomorrow, and the ceremony can be officially held in three days. As a result, something like this happened, which made Howard very nervous. If these important candidates make trouble on the spot during the ceremony, it may cause the ceremony to fail and everything will be ruined. If we have to do it all over again, it's not certain whether the swollen daughter will be willing to cooperate.

The mole must be found within three days to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony. But both Howard's and Walker's targets are too obvious to investigate by themselves, and everyone else is suspected. It is necessary to find a candidate who has no interest and is absolutely credible.

Of course, it’s Lady Selene from the Swollen Daughter camp.

"You guys are really good at judging people." Lin Qi said with a half-smile.

"Of course, in this world, the most important thing is how you look at people."

Mayor Howard adjusted his one-sided glasses and smiled reservedly and calmly.

"I have another question. It's been okay for so many days. Why was it suddenly confirmed that there was a traitor? What happened?"

"Actually, I had suspicions, but there was no evidence until something happened a few days ago." Howard signaled to Walker, who quickly checked in front of the doors and windows to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then the mayor whispered He said, "You know about Lynch and Valente today. They secretly got a way to contact that lady."

Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, a hint of gloom rising in his heart.

"In order to prevent them from continuing the investigation and to expose the traitor, at the suggestion of a gentleman, we disclosed this information to the twelve people. As a result, not long ago, someone broke into the Valente mansion and destroyed it. I have obtained those contact information. It is obvious that there must be an evil spirit in this manor, and he must be found and eliminated. Otherwise, in order to ensure the safety of the ceremony, I can only consider temporarily terminating it. "

That's not possible. There are long nights and many dreams. In order to ensure that the ceremony can be held smoothly, we must find out the inner ghost and educate him. How dare you let people burn my friend's house? Just wait for me, I'm coming to find you.

"Okay, I promise you."

Lin Qi smiled strangely and nodded:

"Then the game is about to begin."

　The last sentence has been adjusted a bit. There was ambiguity in the previous version, as if Lynch really wants to expose his inner ghost.
