Chapter 278 Out of Control
Sitting in the splendid guest room, Lin Qi finally had time to be alone. He finally let go of his worries that had been hanging all night. Even looking at this room full of nouveau riche atmosphere, Not so annoying anymore.
However, Lynch still dare not relax too much. Although there is no surveillance and eavesdropping in this era, there are weird and unpredictable abilities everywhere. It is hard to say whether he will be monitored.
Just keep it this way for the next few days. Throwing himself lazily into the sofa, Lin Qi dusted off her long skirt and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Sure enough, I have only worn women’s clothing zero and countless times, and I’m actually a little used to it.
In fact, he is still wearing ordinary men's shirts and casual trousers, and his shoes are also ordinary men's leather shoes. However, under the influence of the round fan, the whole person, including clothing, has conceptually transformed into a female state. , became a real women's clothing boss.
It's really scary. After maintaining this state for a long time, it seems that there is a subtle sense of identity in the psychology. Hiss, it can't be that this fan has any side effects. If there are side effects, I can't use it casually in the future.
【No sequelae. 】
‘Huh, that’s good. ’
[It’s just that some unique hobbies have awakened. 】
‘Just don’t mess with my memory, look at what nonsense you have learned. ’
[Isn’t the point about why there are these strange things in your memory? Information disturbance affects me. 】
‘That’s thousands of years of cultural accumulation in a world. Tsk, how come you have accumulated such a bunch of gadgets... Seriously, I’m an undercover agent. '
Enjoying the gentle chuckle in his head, the tension of going deep into the enemy's nest gradually faded away. Lin Qi slowly calmed down and thought carefully about his mission for the past few days.
Find out the mole, give the evidence to Walker, calm their nerves, and use real gems to trick him into advancing the ceremony. Of course, the ceremony will fail. Take this opportunity to expose Howard and Prince William's conspiracy. As for what happens next This matter is not something that a second-level rookie like me should take care of.
In theory, this is true, but you can't really find out the mole and kill him. The specific operation can only be decided based on the situation at that time, but the top priority is to find out the mole first.
Within three days.
The problem is how to solve it? Lynch frowned and opened the information Walker gave him before leaving.
According to the information, the twelve people summoned by Howard were divided into two groups, inside and outside. Five people performed the ceremony, and one person was left as a backup just in case. It is said that once the ritual is successfully completed, an ancient tomb from the Third Age will be opened. At that time, Howard will only take one thing inside, and the other harvest will be divided equally among the twelve people.
Greed is the original sin of mankind. For a few Elizabeths, many people would betray their biological parents, not to mention just helping Howard and Prince William create disasters. Lynch has seen this kind of thing many times in movies and TV series Yes, I don’t think it’s strange.
However, after preliminary judgment, it is more likely that the traitor is hidden among the six people responsible for the external ceremony, because they at least have legal identities. The other six people responsible for the internal rituals are all cultists with bounties on their bodies, and they may not all be human beings. The possibility of such identities cooperating with the authorities, especially the Lord God Church, is almost non-existent.
Focusing on the six people in the living group, Lynch reread the information and felt a bit headache after reading it.
Everyone in this manor is really talented, and Lin Qi already wants to leave.
Six members of the external ceremony:
A ruins explorer who devotes all his energy to ancient tombs;
An archaeologist who was expelled from the Archaeological Association a few years ago and has a deep hatred for the Archaeological Association;
An antiquities hunter, it is said He is the lucky person who has not died in a strange way after twenty years of working in the industry;
An ancient book broker who specializes in finding victims for cargo owners;
A folklorist who specializes in going deep into the hidden villages of Middle-earth to study folk customs, but every time he brings back local specialties such as tribal sacred objects or totems;
A philologist who specializes in translating ancient texts. He is proficient in multiple languages from the Second Age of Savagery and the Third Age of Dark Ages. He is better than a rookie archaeologist like Lynch who only knows five languages. Much more professional.
Howard, are you raising a worm?
These are high-risk professions in the mysterious world. If you choose any one and release it, you can cause several mysterious tragedies. You can start by destroying the team, and there is no limit to how high you can go. Now that they were brought together, Lynch wondered whether Mayor Howard no longer loved his manor and planned to tear it down and rebuild it.
Forget it, there is no point worrying. Try to contact them first, and be careful without exposing yourself. With my level of inspiration, I may be able to detect abnormalities when I contact them.
As soon as possible. After making up his mind, Lin Qi rubbed his forehead, stuffed the information into his bracelet, and left the room holding the fan.
He didn’t turn off the lights, he was so arrogant!
The corridor was also brightly lit, with two rows of gorgeous wooden doors neatly arranged in the long corridor. This entire floor is occupied by the guest rooms of the lakeside manor, and all the guests invited by Howard are concentrated on this floor.
Knocking on the door to find someone to chat with, maybe Lynch can, but Selene definitely can’t. However, Lin Qi was not embarrassed, but held the fan in his arms and walked leisurely towards the stairs.
The entertainment room is on the first floor, where Howard has prepared fine wine, food and various entertainment facilities for the guests. Although it is already past nine o'clock, there should still be people there.
Seize the time and contact a few first to see the situation.
Click click, the heels stepped on the smooth stone floor, and the sound echoed in the empty corridor. However, just after Lynch had taken a few steps, a door next to him suddenly opened, and a person hurriedly walked out from inside. He ran out and bumped straight into Lin Qi.
No warning.
Oops.
In the flash of lightning, Lin Qi had no time to think about anything and reacted based on instinct.
The reaction is nothing happens.
There was a playful look in his eyes, and his steps were not messy at all. He continued to move forward at his original pace, as elegant as a dance, as if he didn't see anyone bumping into him at all.
The next moment, the figure bumped into Lin Qi.
Then it passed directly through Lynch as if he had hit a phantom, because Lynch activated the phase defense necklace at the last moment, consuming the opportunity to use it once a day.
This was an instinctive reaction, but Lynch didn't regret it at all, because this person's recklessness was probably a test. No matter whether he dodged or pushed, he would look a little embarrassed and expose his own strength. This was the only way to do it. , so that you can resolve it in an understatement without affecting your own style.
And in this capacity, I can intimidate Walker and others by maintaining my strength. Losing my strength is tantamount to a disaster.
Therefore, Lynch just sneered softly and said faintly: "Ha... be careful when walking. Sometimes walking is like life. Once you make a wrong step, there will be no turning back. What do you think? Haha.”
After saying that, he turned his attention to the person who bumped into him.
That was a young man in his twenties, wearing a gray vest and a peaked cap, with a handsome face under short blond hair.
The astonishment on the young man's face flashed away, and then he showed an apologetic smile that was difficult to distinguish from the genuine. He stroked his chest and bowed: "I'm sorry, beautiful lady, I was distracted, otherwise with your beautiful I can never ignore my appearance. I am Carl Jones, an explorer and a guest of the owner of the manor. If you don't mind, I would like to invite the beautiful lady downstairs for a drink to express my apology to you. .”
Hiss, the first one on the list came to the door. It would be a good time to have a chat and find out the situation. Although he thought so in his heart, Lynch still showed an incomprehensible smile and sneered: "Unfortunately, I dislike it."
With that said, he slowly passed Carl Jones and walked towards the entertainment room on the first floor. Carl I was almost choked to death by this answer. I scratched my head in embarrassment and giggled a few times, then followed closely.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entertainment room one after another. However, as soon as Carl took a step forward and helped Lynch open the door to the entertainment room, an exclamation came from inside.
"Be careful, it's out of control."
At the same time, a colorful light, like a speeding rainbow, had already rushed in front of Lin Qi.
