The red moon returns

Chapter 557 One step difference

earthquake.

The Rhine is not located in an earthquake zone, and there is often no small earthquake in ten years, and large earthquakes have been even rarer over the past thousands of years.

Therefore, the buildings here are not very earthquake-resistant. Although the magnitude of this earthquake was not too high and it lasted for a short time, less than a minute, it still caused some damage.

Especially those dilapidated buildings in the King District, many of which were knocked down by the earthquake. Fortunately, because of Lynch, the city government had already started repairing the houses and moved the residents out in advance. In addition, the whole city was celebrating today and the streets were deserted, so there were not many people injured. It was a blessing in disguise.

People had just experienced an abnormal situation and before they could calm down, another earthquake struck.

Thankfully, our attention was diverted from the shock of the July snow, but this is more serious.

Fortunately, it was the age of steam, and people had begun to believe in science. They knew that earthquakes were normal, and would not blame the problem on something unknown, nor would they cause panic. However, in this way, the mood for celebration was gone, and everyone just left with a sense of regret. However, many people felt strange. According to past habits, when a disaster occurred, the saint would definitely rush to the front with the suffering sisters. Today, a few suffering sisters came out, but the saint was nowhere to be seen. This made everyone worry about the beloved Ms. Nightingale and pray that she would not get into trouble.

Nothing has happened yet.

The shaking came suddenly, and was more obvious underground than on the ground. Although it could not be called an earthquake, even the volunteers who were kneeling and praying were shaken to the ground to maintain their balance. The priests who were delivering the equipment were even more shaky and unstable.

As for Lin Qi, he immediately hugged the geological survey instrument. This thing was expensive and an epic item. Even if he sold it, he might not be able to afford it. More importantly, it was impossible to prepare a lot of this kind of thing. If it really broke, it would be troublesome.

Fortunately, the surveying instrument had been fixed to the ground, and after a few dozen seconds of vibration, the surveying instrument was safe and sound.

A group of people got up from the ground in a rather embarrassed manner and looked around the environment in shock.

It is worthy of being the safe house that Trinales is proud of. It has more than 100 meters of human traces and is buried deep underground, but it has not been affected by the earthquake at all, and there is not even a trace of peeling walls.

The prayers were interrupted, after all, everyone was lying on the ground, but it didn't seem to be a big problem. The volunteers were not injured. As soon as they recovered, they resumed the prayers under Nightingale's organization, allowing the ceremony to continue smoothly.

This group of saints had no intention of running out to help with disaster relief. The real saints knew what was more important and would not do such meaningless and stupid things.

But apart from them, the safe house was in chaos.

There were eight priests and knights carrying the geological survey instrument down with Trilles. They had just fixed the survey instrument when the earthquake hit. They were shaken so hard that they fell to the ground, looking quite embarrassed.

But Lynch, holding the surveying instrument, was secretly staring at them. Most of the people in the previous safe house were reliable, but these eight people were new. Although they were candidates confirmed by Trilles, Lynch still remained extremely vigilant and was always on guard against their ill intentions, such as destroying this precious instrument.

However, it is gratifying that these people did not show any abnormality, and soon retreated under Trilles's instructions, leaving the safe house to the most reliable group of people. As a result, the safe house returned to calm, and it seemed that everything was normal, except that there had just been an earthquake.

Just right? This joke is hilarious.

Lynch slapped himself in the face in his head, punishing himself for having such a stupid first reaction.

"This is no ordinary earthquake."

While Lin Qi was still thinking, Chairman Ole had already made a judgment while rubbing his waist:

"I can sense that there is an invisible connection between earthquakes and mysteries. I can be sure that this earthquake was not caused by nature. There must be traces of human intervention behind it. Even if it is not Shudemeier, I suspect it is related to the Shadow Alliance."

"Although I didn't sense it, I think so too." Lin Qi sighed and said, "This earthquake was quite strange. It broke out not long after we realized that Shudemeier might exist. Given the strange connection between the mysterious world, I absolutely don't believe that there is no connection between the two. And I have another idea."

"Ok?"

"I doubt that Shudemeier or the Shadow Alliance had some way to spy here, so they chose the timing so accurately."

Trinless pressed, “When?”

"Don't you think it's a bit too coincidental? We just took down the geological survey instrument and the earthquake came before we could use it. Is it possible that the person who caused the earthquake wanted to interrupt our operation in this way? What does this mean?"

The two old men pondered and said, "Go on, what does it mean?"

"It means that Shudemeier is shy and doesn't want us to spy on it." Lin Qi sneered, "Of course, it may not be Shudemeier, but no matter who it is, if the other party really chose this time on purpose to interrupt our use of the surveying device, it means..."

Trinless said solemnly, "It means that if we use it, we might actually discover something."

"Yes, I think so."

"We were planning to use it originally." Trilles nodded. "Now we have a more convincing reason. It seems that there really is some secret hidden down there. Once we discover it, it is likely to disrupt their next plan."

"Then use it right away." The chairman had already circled around the surveying device several times, his face full of curiosity. "What does this thing do? How do I activate it?"

"It can mark out the cavities and cracks within a certain area underground and then draw them on a blueprint. It has a very high accuracy rate. It was originally prepared for the Best Mountain Tunnel." The Archbishop pointed to the red lever on the machine and said, "That's the start switch. I had already charged it before I borrowed it."

The chairman looked at the red lever eagerly like a curious child: "Then I start it?"

The Archbishop nodded and said, "The more the enemy doesn't want us to do something, the more we have to do it. We have no other choice. We can't feel at ease unless we understand the situation below."

"Just pull this?"

The chairman pressed the red lever out of curiosity, but at this moment, Lynch's face suddenly changed.

The Archbishop's words reminded him of something.

He had thought the same thing a few months ago, deep underground, in front of Mordiggian, and the result was that Mordiggian's clone was awakened and the theocracy of disease was spread throughout the world.

A few Tuesdays ago, he thought this again, and then he punched the door between falsehood and reality, successfully transforming the disease into a plague.

Now some people think so naturally, and the opponent is still the Shadow Alliance and the Black Spider.

"Wait." Lin Qi shouted immediately, "Don't pull it yet."

Kara.

It was too late and the lever had already been pulled down.
