The red moon returns

Chapter 404 Crazy old man
"Are you talking about Leonard's house? Is he a ghoul?"

Lynch asked this, but the old madman just smiled without saying anything, which made him completely disappointed.

Obviously, the little ghoul the old madman was referring to was Dr. Swain.

So... this woman who traveled halfway around the world is actually a ghoul? No wonder she refused all invitations to come back here. It seems that she is a member of the nearby tribe.

But that's not right. In history, she was also killed by the invasion of zombies, and she was the one who advocated sending people for help.

Lin Qi's heart was filled with lightning and thunder, but on the surface he looked calm and said calmly: "You said she was a ghoul, do you have any basis for that?"

"No, I just knew it and told you casually. What basis do you need?"

"Huh? You're not staying here just to investigate her?"

"She? That's one of the reasons." The old madman didn't hide anything and answered bluntly, "She is a disciple of the old secret wizard Leonardo. When she was traveling in Middle-earth, she came across a book. I am interested in this book. To be exact, my master hopes to get this book."

"The Lord of Billions of Glory?"

"Well, actually it's Aforgomon, but you can understand it as Yog-Sothoth. It doesn't make any difference to you anyway. Just treat them as one. There's no need to distinguish them in such detail."

Lynch roughly understood. It was probably similar to Milt and his sister. They believed in another incarnation of Yog-Sothoth. However... "What book?"

"The Book of the Dead."

"What is that?" As soon as he heard the name, he felt that it was not a good thing. Lynch guessed that it was some kind of mysterious document.

"This is a reflection written by a madman. It records a lot of his understanding of the essence of the world." The old madman's eyes flashed with madness. "It is the most mysterious book in the world. Many of the contents in it are close to the truth. It is simply not something that ordinary people can read."

"Aren't the Billion Lords of Glory known to be omniscient?" Lin Qi asked doubtfully, "Why does he want to read this book too?"

"???" The old madman was confused, "I never said the master wanted to see it, I just said the master wanted to find it."

"Uh, okay, I got it wrong." Lynch sighed, "So Dr. Swain knows the whereabouts of this book?"

"She and Leonardo both read it. She only read a few pages and learned some unknown secrets from it, but Leonardo read the whole thing."

"Hmm? Isn't it said that it is not readable by mortals?"

"So Leonardo died, died on the journey." The old madman showed an envious expression, "This is the price of reading, but I think he must be very satisfied."

No wonder I think Dr. Swain's secret method is also very powerful, and the name is a bit strange. Lynch nodded and continued to ask: "So you got the whereabouts of the book from Ms. Swain?"

"No, I definitely won't get it." The old madman shook his messy hair and said nonchalantly, "But the master will get it in the future, so there's no need for me to worry now."

"Then why are you here now that you've returned it? Aren't you needed to find the book?" Officer Natalie couldn't help but ask, "You shout every day, you should know how dangerous this place is."

"You didn't say you don't need me, it's just that I definitely can't get it." The old madman said with a smile, "I stayed here to wait for you, otherwise who would go to find the Book of the Dead." Huh?
The four of them looked at each other, their brains were a little confused for a moment. But Lin Qi, who had experienced all kinds of creative ideas in his hometown, had an idea first.

"Are you saying that Avergomon created the current situation just to get you to tell us and ask us to help him find the book?"

"You really understand, that's great." The old madman said happily, "So the master must let me do this time. Once I know something, things will change automatically under the information disturbance. I don't even need to 'do' anything. As long as I know it, the change will happen. Do you understand?"

"I... can vaguely guess something." Lin Qi said, and suddenly his expression became stern, "Wait, you this time? So you know your current state?"

"I can't understand it, but it doesn't matter, and I don't care." The old madman chuckled, "I am a madman anyway."

Several people stared at each other for a while, not sure what expression they should show. After hesitating for a while, Lin Qi confirmed: "So he wants us to get the whereabouts of the book from Dr. Swen, and then return to our time to find the book?"

Lynch thought as he spoke, and the more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed. However, he had to admit that it seemed feasible, as long as no one intervened in the past few thousand years.

"Yes, that's what it means."

"But why should we do this?" Lin Qi rubbed his hands. "These things are full of dangers just thinking about them. Why should I take risks?"

This time it was the old madman's turn to be confused. He scratched his head and said puzzledly: "Aren't you... going to get the Light of Miracles from the All-Seeing, All-Seeing Tavel, At, and Umr in the Silver Gate?"

Huh? Yeah, they're actually one and the same.

Lynch was stunned. So these things are connected?
What the hell.

"If you borrow something like that, you will never get it back, so it makes sense to ask you to help find something. I have already arranged the process for you. This should be the most difficult part, and for this reason, my master had me come to this city thousands of years ago. And if you want to enter the Silver Gate, you will definitely be overwhelmed by the hounds without the help of the Is people. Now you don't have to worry anymore. Find them and they will definitely help you."

There was no way to refute it. In fact, ever since he realized that these were all TV series, Lynch knew that he had to agree to this deal. But he still had to ask, "But it's too late. We don't know when we might need the Light of Miracles."

"The master has said that the whereabouts of the Book of the Dead is the deposit. You can look for it after you have used up the goods. It is impossible for you to go now. In addition, if you can learn something from it after finding it, it will be your gain. The master will not care."

"Okay, we agree." After a brief discussion, the four decided to accept the deal. "But you have to answer some questions for us. What is going on here now? Why would the fixed plot change? Was it created by Avergomon?"

"Even the master cannot create history. Should we say here... another trajectory?"

"Another timeline or parallel world?"

"Yes, it will happen under certain circumstances, but it doesn't happen in your perception at this time, probably." The old madman said distressedly, "If I want you to understand, I guess you will go crazy a few times. Do you really want to know?"

"Well, we don't want to at all." Lynch shook his head vigorously. "So, what happened in the city? Who is causing the trouble? What's going on with Dr. Swen? What's the situation with the ghouls?"

"I know it's a pity, but I can't tell you. Once you get to know some information, the direction of everything will change again. So you can only figure it out on your own. I can only say that from a certain perspective, that little ghoul is not a bad guy."
