Chapter 279 Team Members
I know this question.
When Lynch saw the sudden appearance of brilliance, he subconsciously took a step to the side and just retreated behind Carl Jones.
As a result, Carl Jones, whose sight was blocked by Lynch, was hit by the colorful light in the face before he could even blink, and he covered his face with a cry.
Fortunately, I am not a lady, and I don’t have the habit of giving priority to ladies. My reaction was a step slower, otherwise I would have been fooled. Mr. Jones, you are a good person, and I will miss you...
While he was making sarcastic remarks in his heart, Lin Qi suddenly frowned and felt that this scene seemed familiar.
But before he could think about it, he heard Carl Jones raise his voice:
"Dr. Jenna, thank you for your enthusiasm, but please put your strange things away and don't scare this person. Beautiful lady."
"Have you ever seen a strange thing that doesn't get out of control?" A lazy and casual female voice came from inside, "Don't worry, little Carl, you are safe. Come on in.”
"Really, I've lost control so many times in the past few days. I shouldn't be more careful." Carl Jones muttered angrily. Suddenly he remembered something. When he turned around, he immediately returned to his elegant gentleman manner and bowed. , "I'm really sorry, beautiful lady, for frightening you."
"No way." Lynch showed a mysterious smile and looked at Karl with his charming eyes, "The person who was confused again It’s not me, I have nothing to be afraid of.”
Carl Jones was speechless, but Lynch just smiled softly behind the cover of the fan, and passed over Carl who was blocking the door. Went in.
The entertainment room is arranged a bit like a bar. The big speaker of the gramophone plays melodious orchestral music in the corner. Under a few bright gas lamps, no one is playing pool. There are only two cues across the table. Several chess and card tables are empty. There were also cigars and empty wine glasses.
In the front is a small bar, with a waiter serving as a bartender standing inside. A young lady in her twenties is sitting outside the bar, holding a small pendant in her hand.
The woman is thin and frail, with blond hair coiled on her head, wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a rolled brim, and a sturdy green men's hunting suit. There are light freckles on her face. She is not very beautiful. It can only be said that she is good-looking and not annoying. However, she always has a lazy expression, as if she doesn't care about anything.
Including human life.
Jenna Letty is an archaeologist who was eventually expelled from the Archaeological Association for using dangerous items in ruins and ancient tombs, causing casualties many times. Translated in human terms, if you find something interesting in the ruins, you will be curious to read it and try to decipher it. Then if you are lucky, the team members may be reduced by about half, but if you are not lucky, only a few people will come back.
Compared to the simple grave robber Carl Jones, this woman is much more terrifying.
Of course, this was the association's official reason when she was expelled from the Archaeological Association. As for whether there was any inside story, it's hard to say. Anyway, the two sides have been deeply conflicted since then. Jenna has repeatedly criticized the association in public, and the association has directly banned Jenna. , causing Dr. Jenna to disappear in recent years.
But Lynch didn't care about this at this time. His attention had been attracted by the small pendant in Dr. Jenna's hand.
That's a grinning shark.
[The ocean current in the dream, King Henry's childhood dream, takes him to travel in the dream world every night, meeting other friends happily. 】
As expected, it was that useless strange object that shocked people and had seen it once before in a big museum.
According to the unique law of strange objects, this should be the one that was in the hands of Professor Green a few days ago. This is interesting. What about the sworn hatred between the Archaeological Association and the Ocean?
Are you the mole?
"This is a strange thing I brought. It's scary-grade and almost harmless." Seeing Lynch looking at his toys, Dr. Jenna generously placed the pendant on the bar, "It's nothing. It means that once it loses control, it will randomly shoot a beam of light at nearby creatures. "What about this?" Lynch sat down next to the doctor and waved away a few mosquitoes hovering nearby.
"It requires advanced souls, generally refers to humanoid creatures, these things do not count."
The doctor does not have the perfume smell that a lady should have, but is similar to the smell of Mrs. Bessie. Listening to her answer, he said thoughtfully: "There is no need to bring useless rare objects here. Is there any commemorative significance?"
"That's not the case. It should be able to be used in the ruins. Function, find companions, find a way out. "It should... ha."
This is interesting. The rare object that was in Professor Green’s hands a few days ago suddenly comes into your hands. Especially for the sake of confidentiality, this place is managed in a closed manner. All participants are not allowed to communicate with the outside world before the end of the mission. Contact, how did you get it?
If I hadn’t encountered this thing once before, it would have been impossible to detect it, but once I noticed this strange object, it became more and more suspicious.
Am I so lucky that I found the mole right away?
With rapid calculations in his mind, Lynch had already sat down next to Dr. Jenna, and Carl Jones also sat down next to Lynch with a smile, and suddenly made a lightning-fast move, accurately. He grabbed a mosquito that just happened to fly by Lynch's ear, flipped over a wine glass and put the living mosquito into the glass. The whole movement was as smooth as instinct, and then he waved to the waiter:
"Tom, make a cup of hot heart. I want to dedicate it to this beautiful lady. I apologize to this lady for my rashness just now. Oh, dear lady, under your beautiful face, you must also have a beautiful heart. , won’t bear to see me tortured by guilt, and will definitely accept my apology.”
Do you want me to cancel my disguise and show my beautiful heart? If I don’t make you sick to death, you can be regarded as my neighbor’s blessing.
My heart was full of malicious thoughts, and just when Lin Qi was about to respond, her heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously felt that something was wrong with what just happened.
What's going on?
Every detail since entering quickly flashed through my mind, and I suddenly realized a problem.
I have seen this smooth and smooth method of catching mosquitoes before, and I have seen it several times.
The group of mentally retarded people who sit in front of the bar and stare at the lizards every day often do this, otherwise the gambling game will not be started. I am afraid no one except them will be so bored.
Except for people like Lynch who hang out with those mentally retarded people, I am afraid no one will notice this kind of detail. That is, the behavior of betting on lizards is too weird, which makes Lynch deeply impressed, and this Behavior alone doesn't mean anything, but once you realize the connection between behaviors, associations emerge uncontrollably.
No, you are the undercover sent by the Watch. The kind that Officer Natalie doesn’t even know about. Are all you Watch undercovers allowed to molest the mission target? Tsk, did I suspect the wrong person just now? Dr. Jenna is innocent and you are the mole?
Mr. Carl Jones didn’t know what Lynch was thinking, but he still consciously came closer and chatted up with a smile: "Beautiful lady, what do you call me? I have never seen you before, are you? One of those mysterious figures who keep themselves locked in the room?”
"Of course you can't notice it just by looking at the eyes of the woman next to you. How can you see it if you don't look at it at all."
The sudden sound made the four people present turn their heads in surprise. On the sofa next to the phonograph, there was Sitting there was a middle-aged man in a gray formal suit.
The clothes are straight, the hair is neat, the face is serious, and there is a thick book open on his knees.
There was obviously no such person just now. Lynch was wondering when he heard Karl ask in surprise: "Rooney, when did you come? I didn't notice you this time."
"Tom was talking about whether there was something going on tonight, what happened? Came when no one came. If you didn't pay attention, maybe you didn't bring your eyes or you didn't have them at all. As for this lady, Walker informed us just now that the most critical items have been obtained and the mission can officially begin, and then he appeared. She has a strange face, do you still need to guess her identity? "
Hiss, he is the ancient books broker Rooney, this guy has a very quick mind. Lin Qi felt a little more dangerous. It seemed that he had to hide it better, otherwise his identity might be exposed.
As for not discovering him, it is probably because he also has the power of concealment. After all, this kind of power is possessed by many of the Soul Changers of the Fallen God, so it is not very special.
[Note that he carries a divine blessing on his body. This is a characteristic that only the Lord God’s soul-shifters have, and only the Supreme can distinguish it. 】
Huh? So he is not actually the soul-changer of a certain fallen god who did not want to reveal his identity as mentioned in the information? But a soul-shifter from the Church of the Lord God? Did he deliberately hide his identity and sneak in here?
This is no longer a question of my luck. Just how long after I came in, I encountered three suspicious targets.
And there were only three suspicious targets because I only met three people, not just three.
Is the suspicious rate here 100%?
No, what happened to you? You can't say that everyone here is a mole except me.
Mayor Howard, what the hell are you looking for, including me?
For a moment, Lynch felt that he was so lacking in language and had nothing to complain about.
