Chapter 255 A great harvest
After repeatedly checking Lynch's mental condition and even using his abilities, Miss Valente finally discovered that there was still something wrong with Lynch's physical condition.
A very serious problem that may even be life-threatening.
He is hungry.
I didn’t eat all night, and I was crying from hunger.
Of course it means stomach growling.
Miss Valente poked her chin with her index finger, rolled her eyes a few times, suddenly showed a sly smile, waved to Lynch, and quietly slipped out of the room with him.
The night is deep.
The empty corridor was silent, with only a row of gas lamps illuminating the surroundings with warm yellow light.
Hiss, do you keep the lights on in your house in the middle of the night? The world of rich people is really hard to understand.
Shhh.
The aristocratic girl turned around and winked playfully, made a silent gesture, then held up her skirt and tiptoed Lynch through the corridor and down to the first floor.
What is this girl going to do? It was as if he was going to be a thief in his own home. Not only was he skilled, but he also looked excited.
I must have done it a lot before.
I know why the old housekeeper looks at me like a thief. It must be that this girl often acts as a thief at home, which makes me misunderstood by the old housekeeper.
Yes, that must be the case.
In order to save some face for the shotgun in the hand of the aristocratic girl, Lynch did not dare to express his inner thoughts. He also quietly followed Miss Valente's movements and rushed into the kitchen on the first floor.
There is still a burning smell in the kitchen, but it is very weak. It is a problem left over from the arson in the afternoon.
The situation in the afternoon has been found out. It was not a fire in the room, but someone hiding Rabbit Tears in the fireplace flue in the wall. It is a common plant that produces smoke very well and is often used to smoke rabbits on the grassland.
The other party did not know what method they used to send these plants into the flue and ignite them. After driving everyone out of the mansion, they set up a high temperature trap in the library.
Obviously she didn’t want to hurt anyone, which is why Miss Valente confirmed the identity of the other party more officially. And thanks to the fact that the other party didn’t really set fire, everything else in the mansion was normal.
Of course that includes the kitchen.
"Come on, come on."
Peering around the kitchen, Miss Valente skillfully turned on the gas light in the kitchen and pulled Lynch in, then smiled. raised the volume slightly.
"Let's steal some food, hee hee. When I was a kid, I was often hungry at night, and my tutor was very cruel and wouldn't let me eat at night, so I would often sneak into the kitchen and steal food. I suspect that the cook at home cooked everyone's meals on purpose. It tastes terrible, because every time I eat it in the kitchen, it tastes much better than the food on the table.”
No, girl, that’s just because the stolen food is particularly delicious.
Being pushed to a chair and sat down, Lin Qi watched the girl skillfully act as a thief, no, skillfully opened the cupboard, took out a large piece of bacon and a few eggs, and her skillful movements made Lin Qi Qi couldn't help but smile.
"When you eat secretly, you prepare it yourself. Don't you call me a cook? I remember that many rich people's cooks are on call 24 hours a day."
For example, that hateful Cloo Princess Yi.
“You can wake her up, but it’s already so late. I don’t like to disturb their rest unless necessary. After all, she’s not a dedicated night shift cook. We can just make some food to fill her stomach. .”
"Us? You haven't had dinner either?"
"Hey, sit down for a while, I'll finish it and bring it to you."
Looking at the noble girl's busy back, Lin Qi felt warm from body to heart, well... the case was solved, it must be the reason why she turned on the stove.
【hehe. 】
There is a fundamental difference between looking at the scenery and peeping, neighbor.
Averting his gaze from peeking at the back of the busy little cook, Lynch sat at the table with his chin in his hand, and once again opened the ancient sheepskin book he had brought down.
He had actually read part of this book before Miss Valente woke up. After Ms. Red Moon's official certification, The Swollen Daughter had not tampered with it, and he only started reading it if Lynch could bear it.
It is said that you can only know what you can get from this mysterious book by reading it completely. You may indeed get some interesting things, and of course it may also be some taboo knowledge that humans should not understand, and in the process you will get We are not responsible for what happens.
Lighting up a pipe of common requiem, Lynch stroked the ancient book. The book was indeed old, and the sheepskin had turned black, dry and brittle, but it had always remained intact, which looked quite strange.
"The Goddess of the Black Fan"
The title of the book is actually just some graphics that Lynch does not recognize, a bit like the reflection of a railway map or the pattern on the stone slab in another world, but when he saw the title of the book, Lynch The meaning has been automatically understood.
The book is not thick, only a dozen pages. As for the content inside, it is written in the script of the Amarrian Dynasty of the Fourth Age. It is a common script in archaeology and happens to be one of the five languages that Lynch has learned.
"Stepping on the endless bones, the Lord came from death." "Crossing the realm of death and rebirth, reaching the eternal kingdom, in the gap between death and life, in this sacred cemetery, The Lord's will spreads to this world and the other side. "
"Beyond time and space, beyond darkness and light, the shadow of the Lord covers eternity and transcends eternity."
"Dark, bloated, twisted, crazy, suffering, sin, disaster, praise the Lord, sing praises to the Lord..."
Weird content, every character makes people feel chilly, you can feel it through the words Thinking of the writer's madness and blindness, Lynch inhaled the requiem one by one, carefully turned the pages of the parchment with slightly trembling hands, and finally finished turning the last few pages.
The entire book is actually a classic of the Church of the Swollen Girls. This is a very small church that mainly hides in that small world. Only a very small number of Swollen Girls are active in the world. They have actually been twisted into It is a monster that Lynch saw with inspiration. It survives by sucking in human beings' evil thoughts and desires. It usually maintains its human form with a black fan.
As for the swollen daughter of the evil god they worship, she is mysterious, moody, and keen to appreciate all suffering and disasters, but she has always been hidden from the sight of history, just like her face is always covered with a fan, with only a pair of strange and... Distorted eyes, staring at endless evil.
"Huh..."
Taking a long breath, Lynch came back from the book with a cold sweat. When he looked up, he saw Miss Valente's concerned eyes.
Simple food has been served in front of him, and the aristocratic girl is leaning in front of Lin Qi, staring at him unblinkingly.
"How are you, Mr. Lynch, are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, just rest for a while and then read again. There is no need to read these classics at once."
"It's okay, I've finished reading them. And it’s very rewarding.”
"Huh? So fast? It's really a rare speed." The big eyes flashed with joy, "Have you realized a new ability?"
"More than one thing, I must admit, that evil god is really generous, I I kind of forgive her.”
Lynch smiled, but he did not shy away from Miss Valente’s personal ability, which was an extremely private topic, and explained casually:
"The first one is the most useless, Gaze of the Dead. After using it, you can see the souls wandering within three meters around you. Unfortunately, it is only limited to those souls who have not entered the Kingdom of the Underworld for special reasons. It cannot be seen in ordinary places. Oops, there is one behind you. "
The little fist waved, and Miss Valente rolled her eyes at him: "It is actually a very practical ability, especially for a powerful detective like you."
"Yeah, but it's far behind compared to the other two."
Lynch suddenly raised his hand, his thumb and index finger gestured like a pistol, and then a miniature skull condensed into black mist floated on his fingertips like a black ball:
"Death Coil, long-range attack, The effect of will pull depends on the energy I invest and my understanding of the power of death. After the understanding deepens, the effect of instant death will appear, but the probability is very low, and it does not exist now."
"I hear it. I have said that some of the soul-shifters in the Church of Dark Night and the Church of the Earth who have the power of death have also understood this ability. When the power level is high, the effect is very strong, not even weaker than Starlight Explosion. Well, maybe it is still a little bit weaker, a little bit. And I remember it had other features too.”
Lynch smiled, suddenly turned the gun, and pressed the black ball into his chest.
“I can also use it on myself. Within five minutes, it can increase my physical fitness, by about 20% temporarily. However, if I use it continuously, my body will be unable to bear it and serious problems will occur.”< br>
"This is already very practical. The injuries you describe can be treated. It is perfect for you. Mr. Detective, that evil god is really generous."
Miss Valente beamed with joy and subconsciously grabbed Lynch's wrist and shook it, appearing to be sincerely happy. But after shaking it for a few times, he suddenly realized what he was doing. His face turned red, and he dropped Lynch's wrist as if it was a hot hand. He glanced away and said:
"There is...there is another one. Press your button. The sorting method must be worth looking forward to.”
“Oh, yes.” Lin Qi smiled strangely and decided not to wash his wrists for half a month, “It’s because of the third ability that makes me feel like I am. I owe her a little bit.”
"What is it?" The girl had forgotten her shyness and asked expectantly.
“Tsk, I have to wait for the next chapter to be paid to read...”
“Crack.”
No, why are you carrying a gun when you come to the kitchen to steal food? Is your kitchen a battlefield with Friedman? And don’t broken dogs have human rights? It was promised that they would only send blades, so why did they directly use firearms?
Lin Qi sighed and gave up his plan to tease the noble girl: "Veto death."
"Huh?"
"Automatically triggered, once a day, lasting one minute, vetoing death." Lynch sighed, "Simply put, within one minute after being activated, no matter how injured you are, you will not die even if you are cut into pieces."
Miss Valente even forgot to breathe. She was stunned for a long time before asking: "What about one minute later?"
"I will definitely die."
"You..."
"Ahem, but if you rescue her in time before it fails, you can still save your life."
"This, this, this..." Miss Valente expressed her condolences. He couldn't even finish his words, and it took him a while to regain his composure, "Isn't that the same as having one more life than others every day?"
"Only effective against physical damage, not mental damage, but my willpower happens to be pretty good."
Lin Qi squinted his eyes, smiled reservedly, and whispered:
"She The gift is timely. With these abilities, I am more confident about the next plan. Let's work together to teach those who want to cause trouble a lesson tomorrow. Let's let Chloe go. , and then... Haha, in a certain country in the mythical age, this is called entering the urn yourself. ”
