Chapter 277 The mole catches the mole
Why are you looking for me? How could you possibly find me?
The eyes behind the fan flickered, and Lin Qi was already alert.
It's so unexpected. Would anyone give such an important task to someone they just met? He's not worried... Well, it seems like there's really nothing to worry about.
Think carefully about your current identity. The Swollen Daughter itself is the most important partner, and you are the representative of the Swollen Daughter. Just now, you even took out other people’s secret books to scare people. In terms of identity, There is nothing unusual about it.
And I come from the small world of the Swollen Daughter. I rarely go out into the world, and I have nothing to do with all the forces. I have no reason to protect anyone. I am the best candidate to find a traitor.
Coupled with the actions just now, the chance for the ceremony to go smoothly depends on her taking the final step to retrieve the gems. If she didn't really want the ceremony to be successful, she could sabotage the operation just by being indifferent.
Hiss, it seems that I have been a little too aggressive in preparing my identity these days. With my current identity, I am afraid that Mayor Howard will not doubt anyone in the villa, but he will not doubt himself.
What if I say Walker is a traitor?
Looking across Walker's face, the leader of the Rangers suddenly shuddered and looked at the door and window in confusion.
There is no seam, why is there a dark wind blowing through.
Forget it, you can’t always pull out the hair of a sheep and let him go first. Do business first. If you are worried about not being able to figure out the cause and effect of everything, the opportunity will come to your door.
"Haha... It's a very interesting proposal, but I refuse."
If you want to refuse, you will welcome it, and you will retreat in order to advance. A meaningful laughter came from behind the fans. Lynch tried his best to imitate the ideas he encountered in the monastery. The behavior of the monsters:
“Just because I like to watch the excitement doesn’t mean that I like to be part of the excitement. It’s enough for me to watch from behind.”
"Ms. Selene, this matter is related to whether the ceremony can be held smoothly, and will directly affect our transaction with that lady." Mayor Howard frowned and said seriously, "This matter is important, please consider it carefully. Make a decision."
"Isn't that more interesting? What does your deal with the Swollen Daughter have to do with me, Selene? You want me to help..."
"Me. Got it." Howard looked at Walker, seeming to think of what he had just experienced, and nodded thoughtfully, "Don't worry, we won't let your help go in vain, but given your special hobbies, you must be very interested in money in this world. Property is completely uninteresting.”
Oops, you shot yourself in the foot... Well, I don't think so. In fact, I don't mind at all if you use the Rand Pound to kill me.
Unfortunately, Lin Qi dared to think but not speak, so he could only show an incomprehensible smile.
"Let's see, the content of our transaction with that lady is news about another Advent-level rare item." Mayor Howard pondered for a moment before saying, "When the time comes for the transaction, we will give the news to You, report it to that lady. This is enough to please that lady, it should be..."
Hiss, the risk this time was really not in vain, there was such explosive information at the beginning, and the evil god was interested in the news of advent-level rare objects in exchange for the mirror. It seemed that this was the truth of their deal with the evil god.
Just accept it if you like it. It would be good if you can exchange it for this kind of core secret. Moreover, even the evil gods are interested in the fifth-level strange objects, and there must be fragments of divine authority in them. The divine power of this mirror is just a copy and is of no use to me, but that is not necessarily the case for that one.
“I want to see sincerity.” The eyes behind the fan became cold, “The name of the strange object.”
"The light of miracles."
Light? Neighbor.
【……】Quietly.
Okay, I understand, at least it’s not a big difference.
Lin Qi suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly: "Tell me the ins and outs of this matter. Remember, no matter whether you think it is useful or not, even if it is something I already know, Tell me in detail. ""This..."
"If you want me to help, just follow my method, or you can figure it out on your own. This is my consistent attitude." Lynch raised his chin towards Walker, "Of course I have my reasons for asking like this. It's your business if you don't understand. Now let’s start with why there are so many incomprehensible people here.”
The strong attitude dispelled Mayor Howard’s suspicion, and he finally slowly unfolded the entire conspiracy in front of Lynch.
Through some channels, Prince William got the information about the Gate of Falsehood and Reality from a secret intelligence organization, and through the method provided by the other party, he sacrificed more than 300 lives, and each time After entering and sacrificing three to five people, I finally established contact with the small world of the Swollen Daughter and finally reached a deal.
If you want to obtain the Door of Illusion and Reality, you must conduct a complex ritual in both the present world and the world of the Swollen Daughter. The ritual requires the participation of ten people, five inside and outside.
These special personnel are all summoned from the outside world. Some have legal status, and some are even wanted criminals like pirate Davis. There are twelve people in total. The reasons for calling are different, but no one knows This matter was related to the Advent-level Rare Object, and everyone thought it was just a relatively dangerous ritual.
As for why such an important ceremony requires someone from outside, Howard did not explain in detail, but only mentioned the necessary conditions for the ceremony. Lin Qi didn't ask further questions. He already realized from the other party's attitude that these people would probably die in the ceremony and were important cannon fodder.
The people who live in this manor are these strange participants and their entourage.
But now the problem arises. Mayor Howard and Walker discovered that there was a mole among the twelve people, and there was more than one.
Seeing that everything is ready, preparations can start tomorrow, and the ceremony can be officially held in three days. As a result, something like this happened, which made Howard very nervous. If these important candidates caused trouble on the spot during the ceremony, it is very likely that As a result, the ceremony failed and everything had to be repeated. It was not certain whether the swollen daughter would be willing to cooperate.
The mole must be found within three days to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony. But both Howard's and Walker's targets are too obvious to investigate by themselves, and everyone else is suspected. It is necessary to find a candidate who has no interest and is absolutely credible.
Of course it is Ms. Selene from the Swollen Daughter camp.
“You guys are really good at judging people.” Lin Qi said with a half-smile.
"Of course, in this world, the most important thing is how you look at people."
Mayor Howard adjusted his unilateral glasses and smiled in a reserved and calm manner.
“I still have a question. It’s been fine for so many days. Why was it suddenly confirmed that there was a traitor? What happened?”
"Actually, I had suspicions, but there was no evidence until something happened a few days ago." Howard signaled to Walker, who quickly checked in front of the doors and windows to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then the mayor whispered He said, "You know about Lynch and Valente today. They secretly got a way to contact that lady."
Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, and a hint of gloom arose in his heart.
“In order to prevent them from continuing the investigation and to expose the traitor, at the suggestion of a gentleman, we disclosed this information to the twelve people. As a result, not long ago, someone broke into the building. Lunt Mansion, destroyed those contact information. It is obvious that there must be an insider in this manor, and he must be found and dealt with. Otherwise, in order to ensure the safety of the ceremony, I can only consider temporarily stopping it. ”
That's not possible. There are long nights and many dreams. In order to ensure that the ceremony can be held smoothly, we must find out the inner ghost and educate him. How dare you let people burn my friend's house? Just wait for me, I'm coming to find you.
“Okay, I promise you.”
Lin Qi smiled strangely and nodded:
"Then, the game is about to begin."
The last sentence has been adjusted. The previous version was ambiguous, as if Lynch really wants to expose the inner ghost
