Chapter 216 Trap
The light dissipated, and calm returned to the night sky.
The beach is exuding steaming heat, and the fine sand has turned into a piece of glass with a diameter of 100 meters. The mirror reflects the silvery white and crimson in the night sky, making the beach extremely bright.
There was nothing in the center of the mirror. The powerful deep diver who resisted level 6 abilities was completely turned into ashes and dissipated in the sea breeze without even being able to utter a exclamation under the illumination of the crimson light.
Only Miss Valente was left on the coast, her mouth slightly open, staring blankly at Lynch's back.
In Zul'Glasar, this man forcibly expelled Mordiggian, who was occupying his body, back to the dreamland. Miss Valente already understood that Lynch had a powerful trump card, but she had already lost it at that time. Consciousness, not able to see it with my own eyes.
But seeing it today, and seeing it directly at close range, made Miss Valente feel her blood boiling, her consciousness a little numb, and there was only one thought in her mind.
So strong, he is simply a god of war walking in the mortal world.
“No, it’s the Crimson Moon.”
Detective Lynch Levy retracted his fist, turned around in the sea breeze, smiled, raised his hat, and bowed slightly to Miss Valente.
“Fight for you, my lady.”
“Glory to you, my hero.”
Miss Valente held her hands in her hair, smiled brightly, and stretched out her hand to Lynch.
Lin Qi was stunned and immediately understood. He held her hand and helped her sit down by the rock like a gentleman from Rand. Then he turned around to check on the four reporters. Let Miss Valente examine the injured shoulder herself.
The stab wounds and bumps in the memory did not exist. The four people were just unconscious. It was not known whether they were unconscious or asleep. However, their breathing was very stable, so there should be no big problem.
"What exactly happened, do you have any idea?"
Miss Valente stroked her shoulder for a while, and under the influence of her rapid healing ability, the slight skin injury quickly recovered as before. After calming down from the excitement of witnessing Lynch's strength just now, doubts once again occupied her consciousness. Miss Valente frowned and thought:
"What just happened is too strange."
"I'm not sure, but I have a guess." Lynch did not try to wake up the four young people, but just sat down beside them and said thoughtfully, "One of the powers stolen by the Lord of R'lyeh is Xiang is a dream. I suspect that we were pulled into a dream by the deep diver leader just now."
"When?"
"It should be when I saw the four of them. Later, before they went crazy, I suspected that it started when the deep divers emerged from the water. At that time, I heard them chanting prayers and came out, and I was still wondering why they had to chant prayers when they came to the shore."
"Ah, yes, I heard it too."
"Huh?" Lin Qi was stunned, "Can it be transmitted that far?"
"It came from the concentric conches. Did you forget? Did you? We were corresponding at that time, talking about the Dockers Association.”
Hiss, that’s it.
Lynch immediately realized that the fishmen's dream ability was probably activated through their chanting. They knew in advance that someone was ambushing the shore through some unknown method, so they began to use their abilities as soon as they landed on the shore. , pulling everyone on the shore into their dreams. And Miss Valente was also pulled in because she heard the sound in the conch.
"It is indeed possible." Miss Valente said thoughtfully, "So... everything I saw and heard after that was a dream?" "It should be, by the way, what did you see? Aren’t you always waiting in the carriage? Why did you come with me?”
“Didn’t you suddenly ask for help in the conch and call me over urgently? Oh, by the way, those were all dreams, but the consciousness was dreaming, and the body acted accordingly, a bit like sleepwalking. I I thought you were in danger, so I rushed over as fast as possible, but I only saw the deep divers. The leader among them said that you had something to tell them. I was about to listen carefully, and then I noticed from its reaction. When I saw someone behind me, I turned around and shot him. Then I realized it was you, so I changed the target to the deep diver."
Then everything is correct, it seems that everyone was pulled into the dream. People, whatever they see and hear, will release the influence of their abilities. That's why I saw a clone-like Miss Valente. I'm afraid the other party's purpose was to kill her with my own hands.
Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled softly: "But you really dare to turn around and you are not afraid that my sword will really stab you?"
"It turns out that you didn't." Valente The young lady wrinkled her nose and smiled proudly, "So what about you, what did you see?"
Lynch simply said what he saw, and Miss Valente's face The smile gradually disappeared: "These deep divers not only want to label the family as colluding with pirates, but also instigate us to attack each other. It is really vicious. I suspect that today's incident itself is a conspiracy against you and me. .”
"Probably not." Lynch shook his head and said, "Our coming here is very accidental. Let alone these fish-headed people, even West from the Black Cat Theater is not sure that we will come today. They are unlikely. This performance is for us."
"So... excluding us, then they are actually doing it for these four reporters?"
"This is probably the only possibility. "Lynch sighed, "I don't know what the four of them saw, but to me it was your image, and it was the image at yesterday's cocktail party rather than today's dress. That's why I mistakenly thought you were It has been copied. Since it is not a copy but a dream, it means that they have already planned to use your image, at least it was decided yesterday.”
Miss Valente pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly in approval of Lynch's analysis.
"In other words, they intended to let these four fools see you colluding with the deep divers from the beginning, but later found that you were also listening, so they simply lured you over, and then Try to find a way to provoke a conflict between us." Lynch punched his fist in his hand and said solemnly, "So on the surface it is aimed at these four, but in fact it is still aimed at us, preparing to throw dirty water on the Valente family. It's just that we were lucky enough to stumble upon their conspiracy."
"The family's business rarely involves ocean trade and has nothing to do with deep divers or pirates," Miss Valente bit her lip and thought. He said, "It's impossible for them to come to our family for no reason. These people used my image yesterday. It should be that they sneaked into the cocktail party yesterday, or someone who attended the cocktail party showed my image to them. Huh, it's probably the same as mine. Yesterday’s cocktail party has something to do with it. It couldn’t be that the foreign princess came to seek revenge on me.”
"Huh? Just for this little thing? And if you want revenge, you should come to me, why should you come to your Valente family?"
"No, I don't rule out that they will think that the Valente family has no time to take care of you. After that, you won't be able to find the gem. But we don't need to guess. Just ask them. They will definitely know who did it."
"That's right, we gave them a tip. People must have something to do with this trap." Lynch raised his cane and poked Maya in the stomach, "Stop pretending, I've been letting you eavesdrop for so long. Get up and work. First, make it clear what you just saw. What.”
Teng, Maya sat up straight, smiled awkwardly at Lynch, moved to the side, a little further away from Miss Valente: "A group of monsters were shouting and jumping there, and she came later, and Those monsters were talking and laughing, and then we passed out. It looked very real. Was it really just a dream? "
It seems to be similar to what I saw, just slightly different. Lynch nodded and asked: "You have also seen that these are not ordinary pirates at all. Your source of information obviously wants to trap you together. There is no need for you to hide it for them. Tell me, where did the information come from? It can’t really be from the Earl of Lorende’s Palace.”
Several reporters looked at each other tremblingly, and finally Maya answered: “No, it’s from the city hall, the mayor.” Staff, he introduced us to a senior executive of the Dockworkers Association, who revealed it to us.”
He's actually the mayor's man? And there was a tip from a mole in the Dockers Association. Is it really related to railway engineering?
Lynch and Miss Valente looked at each other and pulled Maya up.
“Let’s leave before the police come to find us, otherwise you will probably be interrogated for a long time. Take us to the dock worker’s informant immediately. I suspect he knows something. ”
