The red moon returns

Chapter 567: Fighting off the Enemy with Laughter

A strong destructive aura surged out from underground and the earth began to tremble slightly. Even if the Earthbreaker's real body was not here, its rage was enough to tear the earth apart.

But Lynch did not panic at all. He stood there straight, looking at the ground indifferently.

No matter how nervous he was, he could not be cowardly. He was no longer an ordinary person. He represented Crimson Moon Luna and that blind creature. His existence was far higher than that of this Shudemel. If he showed even a hint of fear, the good situation he had created before would be completely ruined.

I can lose anything but not the dignity. Besides, we have come to this stage. Can you still eat me?

Sure enough, the anger in the earth's core surged for a moment and then calmed down. The huge voice returned to its heavy tone: "You did have the upper hand just now. It was blind and foolish, but can you guarantee that you will have the upper hand every time until your plan succeeds?"

"Of course I can't guarantee that." Lin Qi spread his hands. "Before something happens, no one can guarantee that it will develop according to their plan. There is a saying that things are unpredictable. There is also a saying that the planning part is up to us, and the success part is left to fate. It is enough for us to do what we should do."

"But if you can't guarantee success, why should we give up what we have already achieved and change our position to help you?"

"So, the Shadow Alliance can guarantee that their plan will succeed? You can't even guarantee that you will get what they promised, because you don't know how they will do it." Lynch sneered and asked, "I understand, we are all suspicious by nature, but it's just because their previous conspiracies have been successful that you are willing to give them more trust, am I right? Haha, but don't forget, since I realized what they did, have they succeeded?"

As he spoke, Lin Qi pointed at the snake man who was spitting out silk and said, "You have the most say. Don't tell me that the Star Color incident in Wilson Town has nothing to do with you. Did it succeed in the end?"

"Sisi..."

Lynch smiled and pointed at Kelvin again: "And those cannon fodders in Milt's mansion a few days ago, did they succeed?"

The middle-aged gentleman had a gloomy face, but he couldn't utter a word.

"Look, Shudemeier, I wasn't mocking you just now. I was just stating a fact. Facts have proven that once we are prepared, we both become offensive and defensive. It's hard to say who is scheming against whom. We can't guarantee success, but they can't guarantee it either. And more and more things prove that their chances of success are gradually decreasing. So, do we need to guarantee anything?"

The will of the giant insect was silent, and the evil gods were silent. They could not refute every word of Lynch, but...

"I understand that, too. Haha, to use the term from the emerging financial industry, the initial investment costs will cause you to instinctively refuse to change your position. After all, it is very difficult to stop losses in time, especially when you have to invest costs repeatedly."

Seeing that even the apostles nodded subconsciously, Lin Qi said with a smile:

"But I didn't ask you to reinvest the cost."

"Ok?"

"I'm not like them. I never make empty promises. Every request I make is reciprocal, right?" Lin Qi smiled at his apostles. "And even now, I don't plan to ask you to do anything for me. I just need you to do nothing."

A bunch of giant eyeballs asked, "Stay neutral?"

"Since none of us can prove that we will win, isn't it too early to place bets now? Isn't it reasonable to hold on to the chips and wait and see or even hedge our bets?" Lynch smiled meaningfully. In his previous life, he was a very open-minded otaku. In his opinion, no one owed anyone anything in the world. No one had the obligation to help him, let alone help only him, especially these individual-centered Old Ones. Therefore, hedging our bets was perfectly normal. He would accept favors from anyone who was willing to help him. As for who else the other party helped, that was the other party's freedom and was not within his consideration.

Moreover, although there are many Old Ones entering the field now, not many of them are willing to stand on his side. After this incident, he will not lose even if all the evil gods bet on both sides in the future. The one who should be crying is the Shadow Alliance.

"You have a point." A black mist suddenly appeared on the eyes and clothes on the ground. When the mist dissipated, he had returned to a well-mannered middle-aged gentleman. The gentleman straightened his tie elegantly and asked, "My Lord, I think the prospect you described deserves more attention and can give you greater help, but it is not enough now. We need to know what you plan to do. After all, everyone can fantasize, but whether they can put it into action is another matter."

Well done. Thank you.

Lynch exchanged glances covertly with the middle-aged gentleman.

Although he didn't know the other party, it seemed that Yog-Sothoth, the One of All Things, was determined to stand on his side. His apostles seemed to question him several times but were actually helping him secretly without leaving any trace. He looked like a cultured man, but his heart was evil.

Nodding his head with a straight face, Lin Qi said seriously: "The complete content is a very long plan. It is not realistic to explain it clearly now. Let's just talk about the short-term goals. To complete the Heaven and Hell Plan, we must first ensure social stability. Only when the society is stable enough, people will have the energy to believe in gods and fear evil gods. Otherwise, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or death, and the energy used in worship and fear will be greatly reduced. I remember hearing a joke from a mortal before, is it more terrible than being poor? I am not afraid of being poor, so why should I be afraid of evil gods?"

It was so cold. Everyone looked at him with an awkward yet polite smile.

"In addition, on the basis of social stability, we must also strive for official assistance to spread the story of Heaven and Hell. It would be difficult to do without official assistance. I have achieved certain results now. I have established a stable network of contacts in the Rand government, which needs to be further expanded. In addition, the scope of influence is expanding to Friedman, and a connection has been planted in the Salt Kingdom. With the support of these major countries in the future, it will be much easier to promote the Heaven and Hell plan."

As soon as these words came out, the apostles who were familiar with Lin Qi, both enemies and friends, all nodded. Everyone had studied him and knew that he was not exaggerating in this regard. He really had come step by step. So what he said was true? Did he really make plans in this regard from the beginning?
Tsk, I just pointed wherever I hit. With the result filling process, of course it sounds reasonable. Lin Qi maintained a reserved smile and said: "So, what the Shadow Alliance did is completely opposite to our plan. Any disaster will seriously undermine the effect of our plan. The arrival of a major disaster will completely destroy our plan. Therefore, our most urgent task now is to completely destroy the conspiracy of the Shadow Alliance and ensure the stability of this world."

"Now, our goal and initial actions have been made clear to you. If you think that Ms. Scarlet and I's goals are worth waiting for, then please try to avoid doing things that may directly hinder us in the future. As for whether you are willing to turn around and help us, we can discuss it slowly in the future. I believe you are all familiar with my office, and you are all welcome to visit. Now, whether to continue to oppose us is up to you to decide."

After the words fell, there was silence for a while. Then, like the apostles of Yog-Sothoth, most of the people around directly returned to their human form and demonstrated their choice with practical actions.

At least today, we are no longer hostile.

A single word can defeat ten thousand enemies. With just a few words from me, Zhuge Liang will surrender.

Thinking to himself amusingly, Lynch wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt two strange forces colliding above his head.

Not only him, but everyone present felt this strange power at that moment.

Light and dark, sickness and healing.

No explanation was needed; everyone present instinctively understood the meaning.

The ceremony has reached a critical moment and the collision has begun.

Why so fast?
