The red moon returns

Chapter 391 Start investigation

The five of them chatted until midnight in a language they barely understood.

Doctor Swen was quite interested and did not get nervous about the ghoul attacking the messenger. Perhaps at this time she just thought it was a very common dark incident, which should be what most people think.

However, through the opportunity of chatting, Lynch and his three companions got a preliminary understanding of the only doctor in the city - or as the custom of that era called him, a therapist.

Ms. Swain is a mystic, and her skills are pretty good. Diana and Judy, who have some knowledge of mysticism, speculate that her strength is roughly equivalent to that of a second or third level Soul Forsaken, which is relatively low for someone from the Fifth Age, but from the perspective of the Third Age, she can be considered mid-range combat power in a big city.

She followed her mentor to travel across the two continents at the age of fourteen, and she dealt with many aliens and cultists, and helped many people. After her mentor died of illness during the journey, she followed her mentor's plan to complete the entire journey, and returned to the Republic of Sailer at the age of twenty-nine to take care of her elderly father. But perhaps because she had been away from home for too long, her father was unwilling to spend too much time with her. Every time he saw her, he was very unfriendly and told her many times to get out and not return to Noflan.

In the past fifteen years, she had already gotten used to the outside world. Therefore, when she saw Lin Qi and his three companions coming from outside, she took the initiative to invite them to stay, and she had an instinctive liking for them. She also took the initiative to ignore the occasional abnormal behavior of the four people.

Natalie and Diana were afraid of being exposed, so they pretended to have language barriers and spoke little. But Lynch, based on the characteristics of the architecture and combined with the medieval customs of his hometown, softened the historical background of the Quaternary Period and made up a long passage about the customs and culture of Middle-earth. He intentionally exaggerated it, so that even if he let something slip, it would be considered bragging and people would just laugh it off.

Overall, they got along well. Not only did they get closer, but Lynch also managed to extract a lot of information about the city without leaving any trace.

In the mountains next to the town, there has always been a ghoul tribe. It's just that Dr. Sven has only been back for less than two years, and there are still many things she doesn't understand. So when Lin Qi asked her about this, she really didn't know. But what is certain is that since the ghouls have been wandering around the city, most people have been somewhat panicked. This is a normal reaction. Perhaps it can be confirmed that at least there is no large-scale collusion with the ghouls.

After the chat, the four of them could confirm that everything that happened here had really changed a lot.

The messenger was attacked today, which made the city lord's knights alert. Before, some people only saw ghouls roaming around, but no actual action was taken, and the request for help was just a backup. But now that casualties have occurred, we must be prepared. The patrol that Diana and Judy saw just now was one of the preparations.

Although he was mentally prepared, Lynch still felt a little nervous after the confirmation. Having lost his greatest support, his foresight, he could only rely on his own efforts.

However, I have always struggled to survive in difficult situations, and this difficulty is not enough. At least now we can temporarily assume that Dr. Swen is not the one who wants to cause trouble. The four of us have a stable rear area and can have a good rest and spend the first night.

As for the subsequent investigation, we will talk about it tomorrow.

This was the first time that Lin Qi spent the night in the memory of Qiwu. He always felt uneasy. Sometimes he missed the soft bed on the second floor of No. 221 and the soft and dry bedding that was dried in the sun. Sometimes he imagined what the two ladies on the left and right walls were doing. As he thought about it, he finally fell asleep in a daze.

He didn't know whether it was the interference caused by his high inspiration or his psychological quality was not strong enough, but he kept dreaming that night. The content of the dream was completely different from what he expected. There was no zombie element. On the contrary... On the contrary, he couldn't figure out what he was dreaming about. He could only see endless distorted light and shadows in front of his eyes.

Bizarre and dazzling.

These lights and shadows did nothing but existed there quietly, regardless of Lynch's will. However, Lynch keenly felt that there seemed to be thousands of eyes hidden in the lights and shadows, watching his every move with cold and unclean gazes across endless time and space.

There was nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide, strange sights were everywhere, staring at Lynch every moment. He himself didn't know how long he would be tortured by these twisted dreams, until it seemed as if countless people were holding gongs and beating them in his ears.

wrong.

Lynch suddenly opened his eyes. It was already bright outside the window. The first night had passed peacefully.

The knocking sound did not disappear with the end of the dream. His sluggish brain slowly started to work again, and Lynch finally realized that someone was knocking on Dr. Swain's door.

Going out early in the morning, what happened? Slapping his face hard to wake himself up quickly, Lin Qi jumped out of bed, stretched out his hand, and grabbed nothing.

By the way, it was not popular to use canes in this era, so the temptation of blood was placed in Miss Diana’s bracelet.

As soon as I walked out of the bedroom, I found several ladies walking out of their rooms with sleepy eyes. When they saw Lynch, the three ladies were obviously stunned and almost screamed. Then they remembered where they were and looked a little embarrassed.

, and Sven had already run downstairs to open the door, and a burst of hurried conversation came over.

"What are they talking about?"

"I'm listening." Judy made a gesture to keep quiet and hid in the corner to listen quietly for a moment. "He said Kemet is dead."

Huh? The messenger who had the accident last night is dead?
Lynch's face darkened and he felt a headache.

This person is the direct embodiment of the variables in the whole thing. He has a strong symbolic meaning in mysticism. Things that happen to him often contain very complex connections, especially the key issues of life and death.

His death was not simple.

But before Lynch had time to think about it, he saw Dr. Swen turned around and ran towards Lynch.

"I'm going out for a while. Camille is dead and his body is in the military camp. I want to go take a look."

"Didn't you say that he was getting better last night? Did the injury suddenly get worse?"

"Not only is he getting better, he was already showing signs of waking up soon." Dr. Swen was not wary of Lynch and the other three, and explained naturally, "He died suddenly this morning. He may have woken up before he died. I heard that he looked terrified."

Lin Qi frowned: "Where's the silk screen?"

Doctor Swen showed a subtle expression: "I want to know too, that's why I want to go and see him. I suspect his death is not as simple as a recurrence of his injuries. He might have been killed by something. So we need to check as soon as possible."

It seemed that their ideas coincided with each other. The four of them exchanged glances, and Lin Qi took the initiative to say, "Let's go with you. Is that convenient?"

"It's not inconvenient. Just say that you are people I met when I traveled to Middle-earth before. The people in the military camp dare not stop the people I brought with me. But why?"

"If we don't find out the truth about his death as soon as possible, the people in the city might panic. If the harvest is affected, our trip would be in vain." Lin Qi then explained, "After all, we are from a big city. At least we have more experience than the locals. Maybe we can help. It's better than letting you worry about it alone."

"Okay then, but you'd better be prepared." Doctor Swen whispered, "It is said that the corpse died in a very strange way. Don't scare you."

Hiss, Lynch felt a chill in his heart and nodded cautiously.
