The red moon returns

Chapter 390 Mission Change
According to the original history, after hundreds of zombies roamed around the city for four days, they finally rushed into the city. Relying on their keen sense of living things, they found almost all the living people and killed them one by one. When the army entered the city, only seven people were left out of the more than 8,000 people.

This is the plot summarized from the two tests. It is a very ordinary and simple tragedy of the Dark Ages, not even that tragic for the Dark Ages. The testers' attention was mainly focused on the cultivation of the human-faced fruit, and they did not delve into the truth of the tragedy in the city of Novlan.

There were two tests. One was after the massacre began. Two mid-level warriors buried themselves deep with the power of Quan Da Di and avoided the search of the zombies. The other was when they took the opportunity to sneak into the depths of the woods outside the city and hid in the 200-meter range outside the city. The zombies only searched and killed people in the city and did not find them. Instead, they almost fought with the last army that entered the city. Fortunately, old Sven found his daughter's body according to the historical trajectory. The memories of the strange object ended, and the two barely escaped.

Therefore, Lynch's previous understanding of memories remained at this level. It was not until he read the memories of the strange object in depth that he realized that there might be some unknown truths hidden behind this history.

Before the ghouls started the massacre, it seemed that someone in the city had already started to stir up trouble, preparing to use a ritual to turn everyone into ghouls, just like the female reporter Maya did. It was only because of the focus that the testers did not notice it, and the ritual was terminated in advance by something, so the testers survived successfully without noticing it.

But now that Lynch had read it, he knew that there was a ritual going on in secret that affected everyone in the city, including the four of them.

Only by stopping the ritual can one escape from the memories ahead of time. If one fails to stop the ritual, of course there is a high probability that things will develop as they did in the two tests, and one can escape by finding a way to hold on for five days.

But will it really develop like this? Could it be that the previous two tests were special cases, and they did something that affected the effect of the ritual, and according to the normal development, the whole city would become zombies together?
Even if history really develops according to the test, some possible strange changes have occurred this time due to unknown reasons. So will it really follow the historical trajectory if it continues?

"Ignorance is bliss."

Lynch rubbed his brows and sighed deeply.

It would be fine if I hadn't read this information. I could have spent five days in a daze and the outcome would be clear. The problem is that I know it now, and there are obvious changes...

'Neighbor, could it be that the changes occurred because we came in?'

[Of course, you are the only variable. If there is any change, it can only be because of your entry.]

'I didn't mean we, I meant, we.'

[Your idea is right, but my entry will not have any impact]

'But other gods or evil gods are not necessarily the same, right?'

【…】

"I see. It seems that some other strange intentions have come in."

【No. 】

'Um? '

[Even if it is a descending-level artifact, it cannot contain even a trace of the Supreme Will. If the Supreme Will seeps in, it will directly destroy the artifact. My current state is a special case.]

Then it's interesting.

Lin Qi squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then he exhaled softly, knocked on the table and said to the three ladies:

"Although there is no evidence yet, I believe that there really has been a change this time. According to my speculation, it should be that a certain supreme will indirectly interfered with the memories of this strange object in some way that we cannot understand, causing the situation to deviate from the course of history. I am not sure now whether this degree of deviation will make us become ghouls before we leave the strange object. I don't want to gamble. Is anyone interested?"

"This kind of thing doesn't expect the best results, it's all planned for the worst results." Officer Natalie glared at him, "Don't be like those idiots who play with lizards and always think about gambling."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Lynch immediately stopped laughing and said seriously, "According to Officer Natalie's teachings, I suggest that from now on we temporarily forget the original historical direction, and no longer limit ourselves to the mission of the Human-Faced Fruit. Instead, we should shift more attention to this ceremony and find out the people behind the scenes..." Bang.

The door opened and Mrs. Stephen Swain returned.

"How is it, Ms. Swain? You look very tired. Are you seriously injured?"

As Dr. Swain approached, Lynch faintly smelled a scent of blood and realized that the injured man's condition was not good.

"He has been rescued for now, but whether he can wake up depends on himself."

Ms. Sven sat back at the dining table tiredly, not caring that the vegetable soup was a little cold, and swallowed most of it in one gulp with white bread. Then she remembered that someone was watching her, and she embarrassedly smiled for the first time since they met, and then...she drank the remaining half.

This made Lin Qi like her more. After she finished eating, he asked, "Is that the one who went to ask for help? How did you get injured?"

"It was the ghoul who did it. There were seven wounds on his chest and back. They were all giant teeth and claw marks. The deepest claw mark almost severed his spine. If another soldier hadn't desperately snatched him away, he would have been torn to pieces."

Doctor Swen made a tearing motion and imitated the sound of tearing cloth:

"They were attacked this morning. When they were halfway through the journey, two zombies caught up with them from behind. They attacked Kemit first. Another soldier, Leonard, used a horse to attract the attention of the zombies and took him all the way back. They both survived, but I'm afraid that reinforcements will not come. But it doesn't matter, anyway, asking for help is just..."

Lynch secretly sighed that the soldiers of the Dark Ages were really amazing. They were able to escape alive after facing two zombies. If it were him who had just traveled through time, he would be able to make a mat out of the grass on his grave.

"What on earth are these ghouls you're talking about? We've never seen one in Middle-earth."

"They are nothing more than monsters created by the interference of the evil gods on the other side." Doctor Sven briefly described them. "It's a good thing you haven't seen them. If you have seen them, it's not that easy to escape like them."

"Oh? They are also creations of the evil god." Lin Qi looked very interested. "So they also believe in that evil god?"

"I think so. It seems to be a monster called something like Wang. I don't know exactly."

"Oh." Lynch was skeptical of everyone now, and he didn't dare to fully believe Dr. Swen, the subject of the memory. He didn't want to do anything stupid that would alert the enemy, so he could only ask indirectly, "You just said that there is a ghoul tribe nearby. I thought you people living in the city knew a lot about ghouls and their evil gods. I'm a little curious."

"I haven't heard of anyone who knows about those monsters. If you're really interested, you can go to the tavern next to the drying yard and ask. But there's nothing to be curious about. Besides, haven't you seen them? I remember there are ghouls in Middle-earth, too."

"He has little experience. We have all seen this." Miss Diana interrupted immediately and changed the subject, "But when you went to treat that soldier just now, I didn't see you bring any medicine or tools. How did you heal the wounded?"

"I'm not a pharmacist, so I don't need those things." Doctor Sven suddenly became interested. "Potions are useless. They are slow and ineffective. Only those stubborn people use potions. The real treatment is of course the secret method."

As he spoke, he flipped his palm and a cloud of cold mist emerged from it.

???

Lynch was stunned. Is this woman the secret magician mentioned by President Gurman?
How many secrets are hidden in this memory that we don’t know about?
