The red moon returns

Chapter 343 Crazy Disease (two chapters in one)

"It's just...then...it's okay."

Lin Qi still felt a little guilty and couldn't speak clearly.

"you have seen?"

"of course."

"You're actually still alive?"

"Then I'm really sorry." Lynch sighed, "Because I didn't understand a single word."

"What do you mean you have seen it?" the old man glared at Lynch and said, "You are lucky that you can't understand it. You are our customer, so I would like to remind you and suggest you not to see it. This thing is very dangerous."

"What exactly is it?" Officer Natalie didn't like the atmosphere here, but when she heard the danger, she couldn't help but ask, "What is the nature of the danger?"

"Watcher ladies are sensitive." The old man shook his head and said, "But madam, spreading knowledge is not free. Every piece of knowledge is clearly priced."

"There should be a whole book of Revelation, but what you got is only a few pages. I guess it was robbed by several forces that worship Grachi... What are you doing?"

"Is there really no way to deal with those hounds?" Lynch was still a little unwilling.

"Why is that bullshit? Where is it?"

"Actually, there is, but it's almost nonsense." The old man shrugged, "There is a Lord of Tindalos among the hounds of Tindalos, and he can order all hounds not to mark a person's soul. As long as you find it and get its consent , you can safely enter and exit the river of time.”

"So there are only a few broken pages left, but they are still considered the most important sacred objects to the forces that worship Glaaki, so they are treasured. How did you get them?"

Otherwise, the faith of a certain unnamed police officer might have been shaken. The girl didn't know what she was thinking of. It was obviously against the purpose of the Watch, but she didn't jump out to stop it. I'm really surprised.

"Wait a minute, I'll write it down. Well, this record shouldn't be considered a mysterious document. That's fine. I'll write it down. You can continue."

Lin Qi's expression became a little subtle. Normally, there should be no telephones in this era, and the brother and sister who were chased by the dog couldn't leave. How could the old man receive the news so quickly?
"Other than them, who would mention the River of Time to you. Although we do not believe in the same Lord, we are actually the same Lord. It is normal to repay you for them." The old man took the pages of the book and spread them out, "This thing is called The Apocalypse of Glaki is a holy book compiled by the Lake Dweller Glaki for his sect. This is a copy, far inferior to the original, but it is still very powerful."

"That's not my problem. In short, this thing is a very precious classic. For the owner, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance. For scholars, the research significance is greater than the practical significance. I haven't looked at it carefully, but these few The page should contain some forbidden knowledge, about Glaaki's experience of trying to become an evil god, but being destroyed by a certain evil god. Among them, Glaaki's contact technique, Glaaki summoning technique and repatriation technique can be learned."

Officer Natalie moved her lips, but after glancing at Lynch, she closed her mouth and looked away, but her expression became quite strange.

"I always feel that you are cursing, but it doesn't matter." The old man sighed and continued, "It contains a lot of forbidden knowledge. People who read it will be fine at the time, but they will soon fall into madness. But this is not the case. The most dangerous thing is that if you read any of the pages, a headless alien with long arms and legs will approach you when you are alone and try to kill you in a sneak attack. But just defeat it once and you'll be safe."

"Well, don't force it. There should be some scholars who want this thing. If you want to consign it, come to us anytime." The old man nodded and added, "In addition, regarding the River of Time, I suggest you think carefully. Is there anyone who can come back safely from there? several."

However, the old man's performance surprised Lynch. The old man only pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and said: "Forget it, since you are related to the Milt brothers and sisters, this knowledge will be given away for free."

Lin Qi thought of the humanoid mural he saw on the stone door of the ancient tomb, and understood that the old man was referring to the thing above. The question was, was it a level six thing, or was it attacked while living alone? Do I risk my life to defeat him?

"In short, this thing is dangerous in every sense. If you want to sell it, you can put it on consignment in the library and we will help you get a good price."

This is the historical code of the Yark Dynasty. There may be several countries that worship Glaaki at the same time, and they are still at war with each other. This must be written down and sold to the Archaeological Association, and money can definitely be extracted from them. Come.

Lynch just thought about it and took back a few broken pages of the Book of Revelation: "Forget it, I'd better find a way to deal with such a dangerous thing myself."

Lynch nodded, matching the clues he knew.

So that’s it, it seems that Dr. Jenna is from the Glaaki cult, and that’s why she summoned Glaaki to trick people.

"A kind-hearted evil god tried his best to give it to me. She was still unhappy when I said I didn't want it, so I had to accept it reluctantly." Lynch silently sent blessings to the great daughter of swelling, "She is really a good person. god."

Lin Qi felt his forehead pounding and realized that he was going to bleed heavily today. He had known he wouldn't come, but now that he was here, he couldn't pretend not to hear.

"Deep in the River of Time."

"..." The joke about Karazhan equipment came to Lin Qi's mind, and it turned out to be nonsense.

"Actually, there is another way."

"Can you finish it in one go?" Lin Qi's head was pounding. "This isn't nonsense, is it?"

"Well, it's a mysterious race. It's said to have been inherited from ancient mythological times. I don't know the details. It's said that they have a way to play with time without being targeted by hounds."

Um? Lin Qi's heart arose with anticipation: "Where can I find them?"

"do not know."

"I..." Lin Qi had already picked up the chair and hit him in his mind. If he hadn't seen that he couldn't beat him, he would have done it long ago.

"But I know that there is at least one person in Rhine City who has dealt with them." This time the old man was not angry and told all the information directly, "The district bishop of Fortune Church, he was helped by that race when he was young, and he and them The relationship is relatively close.”

Lynch subconsciously took out his pipe, but was stared back by the old man. He could only squint his eyes and think. This man's status was too high, and he was not as coincidental as Trinleth, so it was unrealistic to come directly to him.

It seems that I need to think long term and find another way. Although I don't plan to have anything to do with the river of time, I still have to be prepared in case the light of miracle is really that important.

After thanking the old man, Lin Qi left the knowledge library with the police officer without further delay. As soon as he went out, Lynch was punched on the shoulder, which made him look at the police officer inexplicably.

This woman must be crazy. She's so happy to hit me for nothing. It's inexplicable.

"It's nothing." The police officer looked away and said softly: "Thank you, Lynch."

"Do you always use straight punches to thank people? And what are you thanking me for?"

"Think about it, find a place to have dinner." Officer Natalie said with a smile, "Eat Maggie's dinner every day, and occasionally change the taste."

candlelight dinner?

Lynch suspected that if he refused, his immortal journey might end early, so he nodded like a woodpecker.

I am forced to do this. It’s not that I like candlelight dinners. However, things did not go as planned. Just when the two of them were walking side by side in the nearby streets, planning to find a restaurant nearby in the river valley area, a scream suddenly disrupted all their plans.

In a shop on the roadside, the door was suddenly knocked open from the inside, and a group of customers rushed out, screaming and running away.

Something must have happened.

Before Lynch could ask, Officer Natalie had already rushed over with her sword in hand. Lynch sighed at the aborted candlelight dinner, also picked up his cane, and pressed the index and middle fingers of his left hand together between his eyebrows.

Secret method, flash, activate.

He immediately appeared five meters away, just in time to catch up with the police officer.

I'm not so pushover anymore, ma'am.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the store, Lin Qi's heart tightened.

The scene is so familiar, I have seen it in many movies.

The store was in chaos, the shelves were overturned, one person was lying on the ground without sound, and another person was lying on top of her, eating her body crazily.

Damn it.

Lynch realized that this was not a biological crisis, but the disease that Ms. Nightingale of the Church of the Tribulation mentioned. The patient's condition at that time was similar to this kind of madness.

"Be careful, he is sick, and Ms. Nightingale is still developing the medicine."

"Suppress him?"

"Yes, after being uniformed, send him to the Church of Tribulation, but be sure not to get bitten. I think this thing has a psychological impact." This is the sequelae left by watching Resident Evil.

"I'm not that stupid, just be careful."

He is just an ordinary person, and he is also a madman. Although he is extremely powerful due to his madness, he can only be crushed by the power of the soul-shifter. The police officer directly kicked the man who committed the crime, and then stepped on him. .

Why should you reward him?
Seeing the man struggling desperately on the ground, Lynch quickly found a rope from the store and tied the man tightly. Even though he was tied into a rice dumpling, he was still twisting and struggling desperately, his eyes were red and drool was drooling from the corner of his mouth. The teeth were biting the air around him crazily, causing the onlookers around him to scream in shock.

Not to mention ordinary people, Lynch himself has a guilty conscience. It couldn't be caused by rabies. Those ghoul relatives of Mordiggian are indeed a bit like dogs.

Not caring about the candlelight dinner, the two of them commandeered a nearby carriage and immediately sent the madman to the Church of the Passion next to Crown Square.

As soon as they got out of the car with the madman, they heard a scream. The two found that they were not alone, there were two similar people escorted by the police.

The police were very conscientious. Their hands were full of blood when they were bitten, but they still sent the person over. At least they did not execute him on the spot. The reaction of those soliciting donations at the church door was intriguing. They pulled out several stretchers without asking. The madman is tied to it with a skillful and heart-wrenching move.

It seems that we have been dealing with similar incidents a lot these days.

"Yeah, I'm in my early twenties."

At some point, the old woman, Ms. Nightingale, had appeared next to the two of them and motioned for them to follow them in. The church was quite busy, and people in white robes ran past from time to time.

"Because Rhine is closest to the location where the evil god collapsed, the situation here is the most serious. In addition to more than 20 patients, many people were scratched and bitten, and five were even bitten to death on the spot."

Step by step, two young girls in white robes ran past carrying a stretcher, and a man with two bloody legs was lying on it, wailing loudly.

"We usually send those with bites away after emergency treatment. Only those with the most severe bites, like the one just now, are officially admitted. There are still too few professionals in the church, and everyone is doing their best."

“What to do with those who are sick?”

"Without you, we should deal with them on the spot according to common sense. They are already hopeless. Living will only increase the pain." As expected of a medical worker, he does not shy away from talking about death. "But with you here, the drug is being developed, and it is going smoothly. , it is estimated that there will still be half a month. Then we will lock up all the patients and wait for the final unified treatment. It is estimated that there will be more than a thousand people in the end. I have also coordinated with the Governor's Office and temporarily borrowed the city government's prison. "

"When will it be sent to various countries?"

"Yes, we have coordinated with other main churches. This time, all the churches will work together to ensure that your efforts will not be in vain, Mr. Detective."

Thinking that one of his decisions might save hundreds of thousands of people from dying, Lynch always had an unreal feeling. In a trance, he turned his eyes, huh?
This lady looks familiar.

"Why are you here?"

Miss Valente, who was busy, wiped her sweat and showed a tired smile to the two of them. Only then did Lin Qi remember that, by the way, this girl was also a member of the Church of Tribulation, and it seemed that she had also been recalled. However, as expected of her, there are probably not many nobles in this era who can put aside their status to treat and bandage civilians, even if they are stained with blood... Oops, that's not right.

Lynch's expression changed. He had just realized that Miss Valente's wrist was wrapped in a bandage, and there was faint blood seeping out of the bandage.

It must have been a cut when I went to the kitchen to make a late-night snack secretly last night. It must not have been a bite. It must not be a bite.

"Well, I did get bitten just now." Seeing Lynch's expression change, Miss Valente smiled, shook her head and said, "I heard the lady said that you are worried about the plague, but don't be nervous, we are the masters of suffering. If Fiona’s soul-shifter is really infected, we will know it ourselves. Everything is normal now, I guarantee that we are not infected.”

Hope so.

Lin Qi sighed. He actually felt uneasy these days.

The League of Shadows said he had opened the door to destruction, and all he could think about was the disease. But this disease can kill hundreds of thousands of people at most. Although the number of people is large, it is far from destruction, and since he has helped develop drugs, it has nothing to do with destruction.

Unless this disease turns into a plague, followed by famine, war and death, thus inducing a catastrophe similar to that at the end of the First Age, this is consistent with destruction, and is also in line with what Howard said at the end, the grand plan of the League of Shadows.

He didn't want to see Miss Valente become as crazy as before, but since Ms. Nightingale made it clear that diseases could not naturally transform into plagues, Lynch could only hide his worries in his heart.

However, before he could give him any consolation, there were footsteps behind him, and several unfamiliar faces in black formal clothes hurried over from outside the church.

He walked up to Ms. Nightingale with a solemn expression and murmured a few words in a low voice. The old woman's expression also became serious.

A big shot comes to visit.

To clear the place.
