Chapter 100 Imprisonment
The light and shadow changed, and Lynch had appeared in the underground cave of Thorn Flower. He immediately pulled out the ring and returned to his human form.
And Maya was screaming and crawling out of the quilt, slapping her body hard, as if her body was on fire. After slapping for a while, she gradually stopped, looking at Lynch blankly, her lips Trembling, but unable to say a word.
Frowning, Lin Qi asked softly: "Are you awake?"
"I seemed to have had that strange nightmare again just now. I dreamed that you turned into a burning man, and then a ball of fire suddenly appeared. It jumped on me and set me on fire. I woke up with a fright."
Lin Qi sighed: "Do you often have that dream these days?"
"It's not that often, but I did have that nightmare the day before yesterday." The female reporter curled up into a ball, holding her head and whispered, "Is there something wrong with my dream? I always feel something is wrong."
" Why do you think so?”
“I had this dream the night before yesterday, and I also dreamed about the homeless people in the same carriage as me. I thought I just dreamed about it when I saw them before going to bed. , but I just dreamed of you again, and you happened to be with me. I always thought this was a bit strange.”
As expected of a reporter, his intuition is so sensitive that he discovered the problem at a glance. Lin Qi did not explain immediately and asked: "What about yesterday? Didn't you dream about it?"
"The dream the day before yesterday made me very scared, so I didn't dare to sleep yesterday. I lingered at the station door for a long time and went to I read the message board several times.”
“Well, that’s it, what did those people you dreamed about do?”
"I don't know. I just saw them in my dream. Then I went to the temple just like in the first dream. I don't know what they did after that."
After listening to Maya's addition, Lynch gradually figured out the general context of the incident.
It seemed that it was because of the dream in the cave that she was targeted by Mordiggian. Although she escaped in time, the connection had been established, and it was useless no matter how far she escaped. She gradually began to eat corpses. The ghost transforms, and starting from the day before yesterday, it can pull people around into dreams while sleeping.
At this time, the female reporter was nervously hugging the quilt, her fingers tearing at the fabric unconsciously. Lin Qi looked at the female reporter's cloudy and bloody eyes under the light, and suddenly remembered the same fearful and helpless mood he had felt a few days ago, and he felt a surge in his heart. Soft:
"Actually, I shouldn't tell you the truth. I already understand Officer Natalie's original concerns, but you must cooperate in the following matters, which will cause unnecessary trouble, so let's make it clear. ”
The female reporter’s breathing became a little rapid, and the force of tearing the cloth became stronger, waiting quietly for Lin Qi to pronounce her fate.
Lynch shook his head and told the female reporter most of the information he knew about Maya, Downey and the ghouls. Contrary to Lynch's expectation, the female reporter did not have any overreaction and just listened blankly until Lin Qi After Qi finished speaking for a long time, she sighed faintly:
"So, it's not just a matter of me turning into a monster, but now I am a walking source of disaster? And I have killed twelve people? "
"I can't be sure yet, it's just my guess. And it wasn't you who killed him. In theory, you were just a medium."
The female reporter wiped the corners of her eyes and said mockingly: "So you didn't refute the description of the source of the disaster, right? Hehe, I myself feel that I am very dangerous. The safest way at this time is to shoot me on the spot." "
"It's not that simple in the mysterious world. No one knows what will happen to your condition after death. It may become more dangerous. It will be impossible to remedy it by then. "
The female reporter smiled bitterly and nodded: "So what do you want me to cooperate with you?"
"Stay here and don't run around. Except for going to the bathroom, try not to go up there." Lynch explained, "The scope of your influence after you fall asleep cannot be determined, but the janitor above was not pulled into the dream, which means that The radius of influence is smaller than the depth of this underground cave. You will not cause a greater disaster if you stay here, and it will be good for you and others." "How long will I be imprisoned?" "Me neither. Sure, but I will seize the opportunity to find out what happened to you and help you return to your normal life. You don't have to wonder why I want to help you. First of all, I accepted a commission and you can teach Mordiggian a lesson. , Secondly, I heard that Mordiggian usurped the divine power of death, and I just need to do an experiment, so helping you is helping myself. Thirdly, you may need to find countless reasons to reject others, but you often only need one reason to help others. That’s enough.”
"Ah?"
"I'm happy."
"Huh..." The monster-like mouth actually showed a human smile. The female reporter relaxed a lot and hummed gently. With a cry, he hugged his knees and stared at Lin Qi, "Yes, I am willing to cooperate, but how are you going to investigate?"
"Actually, I have found a breakthrough, but it will take enough time, so please be patient."
"I understand, then I will wait for your good news. Thank you, sir. "The female reporter was silent for a moment and sighed: "Actually, there are two things I concealed."
"Huh?"
"On the last night in the cave, after drinking the wine of the mountain people, I was not only sleeping, but my consciousness seemed to be wandering around, going deeper and deeper. After a long time, I arrived at the entrance of a huge cave, just like I It was like in the dream, and then something I didn’t know entered into my body through the hole.”
It seems that my frankness has won her complete trust, and it will be much easier in the future. Lynch breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where's the other one?"
"I actually heard clearly what happened between Grant and those homeless monsters. They conspired, and Grant helped the homeless achieve their goals, while the homeless He provides workers who do not need to pay. Their cooperation should have started a long time ago and they are very familiar with each other."
Hiss, is this big capitalist going crazy? He even cooperates with monsters for money?
Lynch felt that his fists were hard, but now his anger was just incompetent rage. He made another mental note to Grant, and then stood up.
"Officer Natalie and I will deliver meals to you every day, but for safety reasons, we will not come down. If you have any requests, write them down on a note and put them in the elevator, and we will try our best to accommodate you."
"Okay, tell me if you have anything I can do, even though I can't do anything except write press releases. By the way, why did you bring Martha to me?"
Huh? Lin Qi's eyes suddenly lit up and he showed a sinister smile. Maya moved back and huddled in horror.
“No, no, no, don’t be nervous. Do you want to take advantage of this period to make big news? It is related to the conflict between the royal family and the city council, hundreds of people died, big factory owners ignored the lives of workers, and factory high Guan suffered the consequences and died tragically in the factory. Speaker Grant cut off his tail to survive and estranged his relationship..."
Before he finished speaking, a ferocious ghoul had already rushed in front of him, holding his shoulders tightly with his hands, and his red eyes flashed fiercely with excitement.
“Quickly, tell me the details.” Maya’s fighting spirit almost materialized on her body, “Go and get me all the newspapers from the past five days, I smell a hot spot. In addition, Tell Martha for me to get her men active. I will write to them every day to tell them what to investigate and work hard for me. No one is allowed to be lazy."
Lin Qi took a step back and rubbed his hands. Rubbing his arms, he felt as if he had released a terrifying beast.
It’s over, it’s over. This dream will be of great use later on. I can’t help it. It’s even more troublesome if I don’t write about it now.
