The red moon returns

Chapter 516 I can explain

Oh no, I’m almost falling.

Lynch sat on the ground, grimacing and rubbing his buttocks, feeling like his pelvis was about to be broken. He just sat on the ground because his legs went soft, but it felt like he had fallen from a height of ten thousand meters. The vibration went all the way from his tailbone to his cervical spine, and even his head was buzzing.

Ouch, it hurts so much, huh? What's going on?
Suddenly, his eyes met countless strange looks, and Lynch realized that he was sitting in a corridor full of starlight. Behind him were Archbishop Trinslais and Chairman Ole, and there were shadowy figures in black robes standing in the darkness.

He seemed to have just thrown the medicine box to Trilles and was walking towards the depths of the church following the guidance of the starlight. Then, under the gaze of a group of priests, he performed a beautiful butt backwards jump and sat down on the ground.

Everything that just happened happened in the blink of an eye. I just dozed off while standing. It was all just a dream. Now I was finally awakened by a fall. The dream was shattered, leaving only a butt on the verge of breaking, and an unlucky guy who was crawling up under many mocking gazes.

What are you looking at? Have you ever seen a natural person fall on the ground? You have no knowledge.

And you, don't think that I really think that what happened just now is a dream. It was clearly you who kicked me out. Old woman, old woman, old witch, old hag who is hundreds of thousands of years old, you just secretly made up a few words for you and deliberately made me look bad in public. You have such a strong desire for revenge, you must have a lot of wrinkles on your face.

Hiss, this hatred is irreconcilable. It is intolerable. I will never forgive you.

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Qi decided to endure it a little longer, because...

[Night's Reminder: A blessing from the goddess of darkness. The recipient can see through the darkness, and their perception is enhanced in the darkness. Their sleep quality is significantly improved, and they can fully recover their energy with only four hours of sleep. After night falls, their body's healing ability is significantly enhanced, and their recovery from injuries is accelerated. This can be combined with other effects.]

Mom, you are too polite. How can I feel so embarrassed...

A new clear mark was added to his soul, emitting waves of warmth. Lynch raised his head and looked around. The darkness was still the same darkness, but he could see everything clearly.

Without considering other things, the dark vision with such good effects alone is already a strategic-level gain. It greatly enhances his adaptability to the environment in all aspects without any consumption. As long as the strength difference is not too big, it is enough to make him invincible in the dark.

More importantly, from now on, I don’t need to burn gas for lighting at home, I don’t need to light kerosene lanterns when I go out, and I don’t need torches to go underground. How much can I save... ahem, more importantly, there are those additional abilities, which means that I have several more hours every day than other people. No matter what I use it for, it is a huge advantage.

If I were to refuse, I would be betraying your kindness, so I'll accept it, hahahaha...

[Lin Qi, are you okay? I felt something strange just now. Did she do something to you? ]

'Um. ’

Listening to the familiar voice in his mind, Lynch's attitude became very cold, even close to indifference.

【…】

'She told me the truth about the Chosen One, and that's it.'

【…】

"I finally understand, dear Lord Hongyue, it turns out that I am just a carrier, a tool."

【…】

'The body, the soul, and even the traces of existence are all sacrifices for the resurrection of the gods. They are fully utilized. It is really green and environmentally friendly. I am really a useful tool.'

The tone of voice could not be expressed consciously, but every thought was filled with sarcasm and self-mockery.

[Lin Qi, you...]

'Should I feel proud, like the other chosen ones, that I am honored to be able to offer everything I have to the gods? What is there to be dissatisfied about?'

[You misunderstood, Lin Qi, I...] 'You don't need to explain, dear Ms. Luna, Ms. Nix has told me everything, including your purpose and my final fate. I have nothing to say about this. I am very tired now and want to...'

[I just want to ask you a question, Lynch, is that okay?]

'Okay, what's the problem?'

[Have you forgotten something? ] A gentle voice sighed faintly, [Have you forgotten that I can peek into your memory? ]

'? '

[Also, you probably don't know, the nature of this kind of communication between us is that I can't actually see through your thoughts, unless your thoughts are very strong and related to me, such as when you want to tell me, or... when you are thinking about something related to me. ]

'? ? ? '

[You called her old aunt in your heart and were discovered because of this, um. 】

"Eh? How strong does it have to be before it's discovered?"

[Hmm… probably something like ‘Hehehe, since I told you to keep it a secret, I’m going to scare you’ or ‘I’m probably the first warrior to tease the gods, haha’. The effect on me is probably similar to someone plotting loudly in your ear and then replaying it over and over again.]

"Wait, wait a minute, there must be some misunderstanding here." Lin Qi's face turned green, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Wait for me to make it up for you. No, wait for me to explain it to you. Ah, I made it up. This is just a sequelae of time travel. What you see is actually the remnants of those film and television works in my memory, not my thoughts."

[Is that so? It's okay. It's a useful tool. You won't have to worry about the residue any more. There will be no residue any more soon. Don't worry.]

"Calm down, neighbor, you are my dear neighbor, calm down, I was wrong, I was wrong, spare my life." Lin Qi's mind had already emerged with the image of himself hugging a thigh and crying loudly, "I am loyal to Hongyue, I have made contributions to Hongyue..."

[Hmph.] It was such a gentle voice, but Lin Qi could hear it as a tone of gnashing teeth.

"Ahem, don't be angry, just make a little joke to lighten the mood." Lin Qi put away his playful attitude and thought seriously, "I don't want to say anything else, I just want to confirm one thing, is what the old lady said right, do you really have a way to have both?"

[That's just a hypothesis, I can't guarantee success, but if it succeeds, then we won't have any, and maybe we can completely solve the threat of the Dreamland and the catastrophe.]

'What if it fails?'

[Oh, you don't need to worry]

"I understand. So, if I fail in the end, can you please reserve a seat for me under the crimson moonlight in the Dreamland?"

[Hmm? You...]

"I have no interest in inheriting such a strange priesthood as Hongyue alone, nor do I have any interest in facing the threat of a major disaster every once in a while, so it's settled, I have reserved a private seat."

【Um】

A faint sigh came from his consciousness. Hearing this gentle response, Lin Qi's mouth corners curled up slightly and he smiled knowingly.

"Kid, did you hurt your head just now? Why are you laughing so…"

The familiar voice brought Lynch back to his senses from his trance, and he saw the two old men looking at him with care, as if they were caring for a mentally retarded person.
