The red moon returns

Chapter 407 The Third Day

Even if the sky is shrouded in the dark cloud of plague, the sun will still rise as usual.

Today is already the third day of entering the Wonderful Objects. Theoretically, the journey of Wonderful Objects is halfway through.

Last night, Lin Qi had the same dream as the day before. In the dream, there were still endless billions of lights and thousands of strange sights hidden behind the lights.

But this time Lynch was not affected. In his dream, he raised his hands to those strange gazes and raised two straight middle fingers.

Is this the end? Watch your sister. If you keep watching, the transaction will be invalid.

After scolding, he fell asleep in his dream without any hesitation.

What is the arrangement? This is the arrangement.

The evil spirit helped to stand guard while I slept, and he stood for two nights in a row.

In short, Lynch himself couldn't believe that he could sleep so soundly in the memory of a strange creature and in the house of a ghoul.
This morning, Lynch was awakened by a series of hurried knocks on the door. He did not question why he wanted to think of the word again, but he was a little suspicious whether there was such a custom in the Third Age, that there was someone specifically responsible for disturbing people's sleep.

When he opened his eyes, it was just daybreak, probably only around five o'clock. Lynch did not waste time figuring out what had happened. He simply got up, put on his coat, picked up his cane and left the room, taking the Red Moon Ring and the self-defense hourglass with him.

As soon as I went out, I saw the petite Miss Diana with a few red marks on her face. She walked out of the room yawning with her mouth covered, and walked opposite Lynch with her mouth half open.

And then... time froze.

The countess's face turned red and purple at a speed visible to the naked eye. She even forgot to close her mouth. She stared at Lynch for a moment with her mouth half open, and even made a gurgling sound in her throat. After the air froze for a few seconds, Miss Diana took two steps back in a daze and closed the door again with a bang.

No, it was just a yawn. Is there any need to act like we met in the bathhouse?

Lynch blinked in confusion, and stared at Judy who came out later for a while: "I said I didn't do anything, you should believe it."

For some reason, Lynch actually saw contempt in Judy's dull eyes, and then shook his head vigorously.

"Even the cultists don't believe you, Lynch. You're hopeless."

"Hey, Natalie, didn't you see the whole thing?"

At Lynch's complaining look, the policewoman snorted and turned her head away.

"It seems that you have lived a rich life, and this Mr. Leviv is very courageous."

Dr. Swain had just run down from the second floor in a dishevelled state, and happened to meet the four people blocking the downstairs. He gave Lynch a meaningful look as if he was a scumbag, walked away from him, and then ran towards the door with a snicker.

Four people, no, three were not worried about this. In this situation, they chose to knock on the door and wait until it was opened, which was obviously friendly, otherwise they would have broken the door long ago, so a few people just came out to prepare emergency measures and did not need close protection.

But even so, there was a slight sound of the door behind him, which scared Lynch.

In less than a minute, the Countess was already dressed neatly, with her hair combed meticulously and even foundation and lipstick on her face.

Miss Diana had an aristocratic and reserved look on her face, as if she didn't know the man at all. She seriously indicated that as a responsible partner, she should follow and protect him.

Lynch looked at the folding fan in the Countess's hand. He was so scared that he dared not say a word. He immediately followed the instructions. This made Dr. Swen sigh and shook his head slightly.

"A man."

The door opened, and as expected, outside stood a nervous Knight Terry, followed by two soldiers. When he saw the doctor, he finally forced a smile on his tense face:

"Please follow me, Ms. Swain, something has happened again." "That thing again?"

"Well, it's still in the barracks. If you don't have anything urgent, I think it's necessary to come and take a look."

"Are there any wounds?"

"There are no wounds."

Doctor Swen frowned slightly and looked at Lynch inquiringly. Lynch thought for a moment and said, "We should go too. After all, it's unclear whether it's the enemy or the friend over there."

Quickly adjusting their mindsets, the four of them accompanied Dr. Swain and followed Knight Terry's footsteps. Everyone was familiar with each other and they didn't speak the same language. The armed knight didn't ask any more questions and just nodded and acquiesced to the four people joining the team.

Lin Qi and his three companions soon learned about the developments that occurred yesterday. All seven suspected infected people had fallen ill.

However, before that, at Lynch's reminder, they had all been locked up in isolated cells, so the seven infected people were unable to expand the threat.

After that, the military camp was relatively calm, and no new infected people appeared out of nowhere. Terry began to trace the source of the two weapons.

Both weapons were very special and could only be made by professional blacksmiths. There were three blacksmiths in Novlan and he believed that the makers were among them.

In this era, professionals like blacksmiths had a much higher status than ordinary citizens. Terry did not dare to be too rude and visited these three targets separately in one afternoon.

But the result was disappointing. All three denied that it was their work and said they had never even seen it.

However, this armed knight will obviously learn from his experience. Since he can't find any clues about the maker, he will make a breakthrough from the raw materials.

The materials for the two weapons were both very good refined iron, and the consumption was not small, especially for the set of dentures. The raw materials could not have appeared out of thin air. He planned to start tracing along this route today. However, the bad news came in the early morning. Four soldiers suddenly fell ill and almost bit their colleagues.

Fortunately, with yesterday's experience, Terry actually became extra cautious. He divided the soldiers in each barracks into groups to take turns staying awake, and immediately woke everyone up if he found someone was not right. With this set of preventive measures, the four sick soldiers were controlled without any injuries this time.

Lynch nodded, still very satisfied with Knight Terry's performance.

It seems that Armed Knight Terry does not seem to be an insider, otherwise he would not have been almost bitten by an infected person yesterday, and he would not have been so diligent in taking precautions.

But now it concerns the life and death of four people, and we can't judge based on whether it looks like the person or not. Out of caution, Lynch didn't say much and decided to wait and see the new victim first.

It was still dark outside, but many people had already started training outside the fortress. It seemed that they were not affected too much. However, if you looked closely, you could see anxiety and evasion in the eyes of the soldiers. It was clear that the morale of the army had been shaken.

On the brink of collapse at any time.

The four of them sighed and followed Terry into the basement of the fortress, where the city prison was located.

As soon as I went down the stairs, I heard roars coming from deep underground, which sounded particularly eerie in the dark and dirty underground.

"That's the four of them."

Knight Terry stopped in front of a cell. As if sensing the smell of flesh and blood, the four infected people in the cell immediately pounced on him, lay on the cell door, desperately stretched out their hands to the people outside, and roared loudly.

Seeing the madman inside, Lin Qi and the other three felt their hearts sink.

They knew these people.

It was the four guards guarding the South Gate, all of them were here, without a single one missing.
