The red moon returns

Chapter 505: Checkmate
Fuck, this is because I have a keen eye, and it is definitely not what I say.

The nearby Governor's Palace Guards and the mysterious hunter of the Watcher immediately took action. A group of people suddenly rushed out of several rooms to strengthen the security of this floor, and then seven or eight guards were sent to surround the stairs.

At the entrance of the conference hall, a group of church leaders who were leaving were attracted by the screams. If it weren't for Lynch's performance just now, these people would have left through other passages. But as soon as Lynch mentioned it, several senior leaders nearby realized that something was wrong and that something big might happen.

Archbishop Trilles of the Church of the Sun and Archbishop Blue of the Church of the Sun exchanged glances and waved their hands. Several knights from the two churches rushed forward, and a group of bigwigs from the churches followed behind, calm and composed, not at all affected by the tense atmosphere around them.

In addition to the four churches that came from Friedman, especially Pope Selena.

As soon as the scream was heard, she led her men to rush over first, and before leaving, she did not forget to pull Lin Qi with her.

"Etc., etc."

Lynch's eyes rolled, and he quickly broke free from the female hooligan's pull. He whispered in Ms. Nightingale's ear for a while. The old woman pondered for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave. Lynch then caught up with Pope Selena and rushed to the stairs together.

The conference room was on the fourth floor and the screams came from the fifth floor.

Following the Pope of Joy and his group rushing up to the fifth floor, they saw a waitress being pinned to the ground by several people. She was still twisting and turning frantically, biting and scratching, trying to break free from the grip of the people around her.

When he saw it from a distance, Lynch thought it was just another infected person who fell ill, but he denied his idea as soon as he got closer.

The difference is obvious. The infected are extremely aggressive and actively bite the living things around them, but this guy grabbing and biting people is just a means of breaking free from control. He should not be an infected person. On the bright side, maybe he is just scared crazy?

Looking at the other person's completely irrational eyes, Lynch knew that there was no chance to find out what scared her crazy. Looking around, there were no witnesses, and he couldn't find anything that could scare her crazy.

But this makes people feel more uneasy, as the unknown is always the biggest source of fear.

What did she see? How about trying to restore her memory physically?

Before Lin Qi could commit the crime, a soft voice suddenly sang softly in his ear, like a lullaby from midnight:
“Listen to the song of the Lord, and may you use a moment of peace to wash away a lifetime of pain.”

Then he pressed a finger on the maid's brow.

[Power: Art, Ability: Requiem]

The madness on the maid's face quickly faded, her expression became soothing and soft, and her scattered eyes regained clarity.

"Tell me what you saw, quickly."

"Bugs, bugs...so scary, huge bugs..."

His eyes, which had just regained clarity, were once again filled with fear, but he still managed to utter a few words.

Before she could say more, Pope Serena had withdrawn her finger, leaving a lip print on her fingertip and pressing it on the maid's forehead.

"I shouldn't have kept you awake. I'm sorry. Just get some rest. You'll forget everything and get better."

[Power: Happiness, Ability: Faded Memory]

The maid closed her eyes in response, her breathing became even, and her body stopped struggling. Lynch took a deep breath and realized that he was not overly sensitive. The huge insect matched the sound of the insect's wings that he heard.

Could it really be an insect this time? But where are the insects?
No.

I asked the guard in charge of patrolling the fifth floor. He said that the only people who had gone up to the fifth floor were the state guests and their entourage, as well as the security personnel and waiters. Not to mention bugs, there were no unfamiliar faces.

The fifth floor was not an empty floor. There were patrol officers and guests everywhere. It was impossible for someone not to see it. It seemed that Lynch's worries were just a false alarm, and the waitress's scream was just a coincidence.

However, the Pope turned around and glanced at Lynch, and immediately asked the guard knight beside her to lead the way to confirm the safety of the little prince.

In the mysterious world, any seemingly coincidental appearance may be the manifestation of some kind of sign, not to mention the premonitions from those with high spiritual powers. Those who despise such premonitions die miserably.

At this time, the leader of the guards no longer dared to be stubborn and honestly led the way. But Lin Qi was not happy at all. At this moment, he hoped more than anyone else that this was his illusion.

Whether the little prince Louis lives or dies has nothing to do with him, but if his worries are true, he suspects that the fire of the other party will eventually burn the people around him.

This was something he absolutely did not want to see, so he always followed Pope Selena closely.

As for the other church members and Rand's guards, they followed behind. The situation might be somewhat serious, and they hoped to obtain first-hand information as much as possible so that they could respond to changes in a timely manner. However, out of courtesy, they still kept a certain distance and relied entirely on the guard leader to lead the way.

The Friedmans were arranged on the top floor, which was the best location in the Medea Hotel, with top-notch scenery and facilities. The delegation of 45 people occupied more than 50 rooms in three corridors on the fifth floor.

The entire hotel had guards arranged by the Rand government, and these three corridors were guarded by Friedman's own guards and knights supported by the church, which was almost foolproof. But for the safety of the royal family, the Friedmans had a final measure.

A bedroom for the little prince is randomly selected from six rooms and changed every day. Except for the two persons in charge of security, no one knows where the prince lives in advance, not even Ms. Selena, who is entrusted to take care of the little prince.

Following the leader of the guards, the group's pace became faster and faster. The corridor was quite lively. Along the way, they met several groups of people from various countries. Some of them were even in pajamas. They were all startled by the screams and came out to see what was going on.

They were becoming more and more confused, but at least they had to see the little prince with their own eyes, Lynch and Pope Selena to feel at ease. Fortunately, the three corridors of the Friedmans were not far away, and in less than ten minutes they turned into a magnificent corridor.

This should be Prince Louis' bedroom tonight, but the situation in the corridor shocked everyone in the group.

A door happened to open, and the little prince Louis XVI walked out and looked up at the man in the hooded cloak outside the door. However, the three guards in the corridor turned a blind eye to this and let the little prince be exposed to the other party.

However, the group immediately understood the reason, because the cloaked man turned around and saw a group of church leaders and the Friedmen rushing over, as well as many representatives from other countries who were watching the fun. He smiled with satisfaction, then suddenly raised his hand and stabbed the unsuspecting little prince.

The hood lifted, revealing a face that was very familiar to many people.

Sophia Russell, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Rand.

Lynch immediately realized that his guess was correct. As long as the Rand royal family killed the Friedman royal family in public, the Friedmans would have sufficient excuse to start a war, and no one would be able to stop this war.

What’s even more regrettable is that once this action is done, it cannot be undone, even if you don’t succeed.

This is an open conspiracy, and we have been defeated.
