The red moon returns

Chapter 279 Team Members

I will answer this question.

When Lynch saw the sudden appearance of brilliance, he subconsciously took a step to the side and just retreated behind Carl Jones.

As a result, Carl Jones, whose sight was blocked by Lynch, was hit by the colorful light in the face before he could even blink, and he covered his face with a cry.

Fortunately, I am not a lady, and I do not have the habit of giving priority to ladies. My reaction was a step slower, otherwise I would have been fooled. Mr. Jones, you are a good person, and I will miss you...

While he was making sarcastic remarks in his heart, Lin Qi suddenly frowned and felt that this scene seemed familiar.

But before he could think about it, he heard Carl Jones raise his voice:

"Dr. Jenna, thank you for your enthusiasm, but please keep your strange things away and don't scare this beautiful lady."

"Have you ever seen a strange thing that doesn't get out of control? I've never seen it." A lazy and casual female voice came from inside, "Don't worry, little Carl, it's safe now, come in."

"Really, I've lost control so many times in the past few days. I shouldn't be more careful." Carl Jones muttered angrily. Suddenly he remembered something. When he turned around, he immediately returned to his elegant gentleman manner and bowed. , "I'm so sorry, beautiful lady, for frightening you."

"No way." Lynch smiled mysteriously and looked at Karl with charming eyes, "I'm not the one who was confused. I have nothing to be surprised about."

Carl Jones was blocked speechless, but Lynch just smiled softly behind the fan, passed Carl who was blocking the door, and walked in calmly.

The entertainment room is arranged a bit like a bar. The big speaker of the gramophone spits out melodious orchestral music in the corner. Under a few bright gas lamps, no one is playing pool. There are only two cues across the table. Several chess and card tables are empty. There were also cigars and empty wine glasses.

There is a small bar in the front, with a waiter serving as a bartender standing inside. A young lady in her twenties is sitting outside the bar, holding a small pendant in her hand.

The woman is thin and frail, with blond hair coiled on her head, wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a rolled brim, and a sturdy green men's hunting suit. There are light freckles on her face. She is not very beautiful. It can only be said that she is good-looking and not annoying. However, she always has a lazy expression, as if she doesn't care about anything.

Including human life.

Jenna Letty is an archaeologist who was eventually expelled from the Archaeological Association for using dangerous objects in ruins and ancient tombs, causing casualties many times. Translated in human terms, if you find something interesting in the ruins, you will be curious to read it and try to decipher it. Then if you are lucky, the team members may be reduced by about half, but if you are not lucky, only a few people will come back.

Compared to the simple tomb robber Carl Jones, this woman is much more terrifying.

Of course, this was the association's official reason when she was expelled from the Archaeological Association. As for whether there was any inside story, it's hard to say. Anyway, the two sides have been deeply conflicted since then. Jenna has repeatedly criticized the association in public, and the association has directly banned Jenna. , causing Dr. Jenna to disappear in recent years.

However, Lynch didn't care about this at this time. His attention was attracted by the small pendant in Dr. Jenna's hand.

It was a grinning shark.

[The ocean current in the dream, King Henry's childhood dream, takes him to travel in the dream world every night, meeting other friends happily. 】

Sure enough, it was that useless and strange object that shocked people and had seen it once before in a big museum.

According to the unique law of strange objects, this should be the one that was in the hands of Professor Green a few days ago. This is interesting. What about the sworn hatred between the Archaeological Association and the Ocean?
Are you the mole?
"This is a strange thing I brought. It's scary and almost harmless." Seeing Lynch looking at his toys, Dr. Jenna generously placed the pendant on the bar. "It's of no use, but once it gets out of control, It will randomly shoot a beam of light at nearby creatures."

"What about this?" Lynch sat down next to the doctor and waved away a few mosquitoes hovering nearby.

"It requires advanced souls, generally refers to humanoid creatures, these things do not count."

The Doctor doesn't smell like a lady's perfume, but instead smells like Mrs. Bessie. Listening to her answer, he said thoughtfully: "There is no need to bring useless strange objects here. Is there any commemorative significance?"

"That's not true. It should be able to play a role in the ruins. Find companions and find a way out." It should... ha.

This is interesting. The rare object that was in the hands of Professor Green a few days ago suddenly came into your hands. Especially for the sake of confidentiality, this place is managed in a closed manner. All participants are not allowed to contact the outside world before the end of the mission. How did you get it? Where did it arrive?

If I hadn't encountered this thing once before, it would be impossible to detect it, but once I noticed this strange object, it became more and more suspicious.

Am I so lucky that I found the mole right away?

Thinking quickly in his mind, Lynch had already sat down next to Dr. Jenna, and Carl Jones also sat down next to Lynch with a smile. Suddenly, he took action like lightning and accurately grasped a flying bird. After passing the mosquito next to Lynch's ear, he turned over a wine glass and put the living mosquito into the glass. The whole movement was as smooth as instinct, and then he waved to the waiter:
"Tom, make a cup of hot heart. I want to dedicate it to this beautiful lady. I apologize to this lady for my rashness just now. Oh, dear lady, under your beautiful face, you must also have a beautiful heart. , won’t bear to see me tortured by guilt, and will definitely accept my apology.”

Do you want me to cancel my disguise and show my beautiful heart? If I don’t disgust you to death, I’ll consider it a neighbor’s blessing.

With vicious thoughts swirling in his heart, Lin Qi was about to respond when his heart suddenly tightened and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong with what just happened.

what's the situation?
Every detail since entering quickly flashed through my mind, and I suddenly realized a problem.

I have seen this smooth and smooth method of catching mosquitoes before, and I have seen it several times.

The group of mentally retarded people who sit in front of the bar and stare at the lizards every day often do this, otherwise the gambling game will not be able to start. I am afraid no one except them will be so bored.

Except for people like Lynch who hang out with those mentally retarded people, I am afraid no one will notice this kind of detail. That is, the behavior of betting on lizards is too weird, which makes Lynch deeply impressed, and this Behavior alone doesn't mean anything, but once you realize the connection between behaviors, associations emerge uncontrollably.

No, you are the undercover sent by the Watch. The kind that Officer Natalie doesn't even know about. Are all you Watch undercovers allowed to molest the mission target? Tsk, did I suspect the wrong person just now? Dr. Jenna is innocent and you are the mole?
Mr. Carl Jones didn't know what Lynch was thinking, but he still consciously came closer and chatted up with a smile: "Beautiful lady, what do you call me? I've never seen you before. Are you one of those people who have been treating me like this?" One of the mysterious figures locked in the room?"

"Of course you can't detect it just by looking into the eyes of the woman next to you. How could you possibly see it if you don't look at it at all."

The sudden sound made the four people present turn their heads in surprise. Sitting on the sofa next to the gramophone was a middle-aged man in a gray formal suit.

He was dressed neatly, his hair was neat, his face was serious, and he had a thick book open on his knees.

There was obviously no such person just now. Lynch was confused when he heard Karl ask in surprise: "Rooney, when did you come? I didn't notice you again this time."

"Tom was talking about whether there was something going on tonight, why he came when no one came. You didn't pay attention, maybe you didn't wear your eyes or didn't grow them at all. As for this lady, contact us about the most critical item that Walker informed us just now. Already acquired, the mission can officially begin, and then a new face appears, do you still need to guess her identity?"

Hiss, he is the ancient books broker Rooney. This guy has a very quick mind. Lin Qi felt a little more dangerous. It seemed that he had to hide it better, otherwise his identity might be exposed.

As for not discovering him, it is probably because he also has the power of concealment. After all, this kind of power is possessed by many of the Soul Changers of the Fallen God, so it is not very special.

[Note that he carries a divine blessing on his body. This is a characteristic that only the Lord God’s soul-shifters have, and only the Supreme can distinguish it. 】

Um? So he is not actually the soul-changer of a certain Fallen God who did not want to reveal his identity as mentioned in the information? But a soul-shifter from the Church of the Lord God? Did he deliberately hide his identity and sneak in here?
This is no longer a question of my luck. Just how long after I came in, I encountered three suspicious targets.

And there were only three suspicious targets because I only met three people, not just three.

Is the suspicion rate here 100%?
No, what happened to you? You can't say that everyone here is a mole except me.

Mayor Howard, what the hell are you looking for, including me?

For a moment, Lin Qi felt that he was so lacking in language and had nothing to complain about.
