Chapter 281 You are not her
“This ancient tomb is the tomb of the last emperor of the Yark Dynasty at the end of the Third Age. Although the Yark Dynasty at that time had almost perished due to plague and war, it belonged to the emperor after all. There are still many ancient rare objects buried in the tomb, and those are very valuable treasures. Hehe, as long as I can come back alive this time, I, the big-nosed hunting dog, can retire. "
You want it. Stop thinking about what you just said? Or go out and look up. Is there an extra star in your sky?
Seeing the rude antiquities hunter Jack Adams taking a sip of beer and frantically adding drama for himself, Lynch could only sigh, look at him with nostalgic eyes and laugh.
Actually, the atmosphere is quite good, it’s like the atmosphere before setting off on a normal mission.
Seemingly feeling that Selene, a beautiful woman, was not easy to get in touch with, Carl Jones’s attention returned to the lazy Jenna. The two danced in the open space of the entertainment room to the music of the gramophone. Dance.
Rooney, the ancient books broker, and Jack, the antiquities hunter, sat side by side at the bar, chatting casually with Lynch about the operation. Salin, the folklorist dressed as Tom the bartender, still stood expressionless at the bar, saying nothing. Wiping the wine glass, Lin Qi always felt that his eyes were wandering around with bad intentions.
As for Judy...this girl is still half-asleep and half-awake, sitting at the bar with a book in her arms, but there is a strange look hidden in a pair of confused eyes, always accompanied by a direct look. The burning heat of the soul swept through Lin Qi's body again and again.
"Ignore her, she is a fool, she often stares at others like this." The bearded man wiped off the wine stains on his beard and said in a loud voice, "She was mysteriously discovered a few years ago when she was studying ancient characters. It eroded and almost became distorted. Although he did not die in the end, his brain was damaged. Most of the time when he was not working, he looked like this, which was useless. He was just a waste. If he could not stay awake while working, we would be like this. I wouldn’t take her with me to do such a dangerous job, she’s such an annoying burden.”
Oh, but you were the one who brought this girl here just now, and it seems like it's you every day, so just keep your mouth shut and I'll watch you perform. Besides, does she usually see other people being roasted like this? So you must be having a hard time these days, or am I the only one who can feel it?
Muttering to himself, Lin Qi still maintained his high profile and smiled noncommittally.
Rooney on the side sighed: "But don't forget, the most valuable thing is to be left to Howard, we can only take what is left of him."
"The rest is enough for me to enjoy for the rest of my life, hahahaha, I'm not greedy. Are you interested in that thing, Rooney?"
The gentle middle-aged man covered his squirming lips with a cocktail, wondering. He muttered something, and when he put it down, his expression had returned to calm: "I only want the classics in it, and the other things have nothing to do with me. What's more, Ms. Selene is here, huh, her sudden joining is probably to help Howard The mayor will make sure that no one wants to take advantage of his share."
"Oh, that's not true. I'm just here to watch the fun. I want to make sure that there is someone else involved in this matter." Lin Qi casually added to the fire, then covered his mouth and chuckled, "You don't have to pay attention to me, I will listen to your arrangements. I think you should have already made a plan. You don't need to change it just because I show up. Just tell me." That’s fine, I’ll cooperate.”
"The plan is actually quite simple, Howard has arranged it all."
After the song ended, Carl and Jenna, who returned to the bar, happened to hear Lynch's words. Carl diligently opened the stool for Dr. Jenna to help her. She sat down and bowed to Lynch:
"Beautiful lady, we..."
"Karl." Cautious Rooney paused his cup.
“Don’t worry, I checked while dancing just now. Howard and Walker both confirmed Ms. Selene’s identity. It’s just that the beautiful lady is acting with us. Our Lord Mayor He said that he just has this intention now and is still discussing with Ms. Selene to see what she means.”
Although he didn’t know how this person went to seek confirmation, Lynch was relieved and knew that he had. The excuse has successfully dispelled the suspicion of these people. It seems that Mayor Howard is not in vain. He is well versed in the art of speaking. A simple change gave himself room to avoid the possibility of being tricked into telling the truth. He is really a considerate and good employer, and now those questions that were inconvenient to ask them are finally answered.
Rooney immediately closed his mouth, his eyes flickered, and he nodded without stopping.
"The day after tomorrow, that is, we set off overnight on the night of June 20th, and entered the target early on the 21st, the undeveloped Yark Tomb. Yark Tomb is notoriously troublesome, so We, the professionals, need to go into the depths of the tomb before midnight on the 21st and hold a ceremony in the main tomb chamber. There will be another group of people at the same time as us. I don’t know the specific situation. , but they will also enter another tomb, hold a ceremony simultaneously with us, and use the key items you brought as a guide to send the treasures hidden in that tomb to us. When the time comes, Howard will take the same things from it. The treasures and the burial objects in the tomb will be divided equally between the six of us.”
That’s it.
Although not very detailed, Lynch has found the last piece of the puzzle and connected everything.
Prince William and Howard knew about this mirror from some unknown source two years ago, and also found a way to contact the Swollen Daughter.
So they took the opportunity of preparing for the railway project and used a special method to create a mysterious document at the expense of national destiny and human life. Then they contacted the Swelling Daughter through the document, and finally used a miracle to The whereabouts of the light were exchanged for the full help of the mirror and the swollen daughter.
The key to the specific method is to copy the body gem.
Based on the experience of entering that world last time, the person who enters and his belongings will appear in that dream-like world, but the real body actually remains in the real world. Then the plan is most likely that the six murderers from the internal group will bring the replica gems and be sucked into the dream through those symbols. Once successful, they will hold the dream gems in the dream, but the replica gems will still remain in the world.
At this time, the external team arrived at the designated location with the replica gem. Lynch probably did not choose this location randomly. It is possible that the Swollen Daughter stole the mirror from that location. So after both parties reached the target, they performed the ceremony at the same time, using duplicates that had the same mysterious identity as the mirror to form a suspension bridge at both ends, and return the mirror stolen by the evil god to the living world.
It is indeed a bit complicated, but Lynch still completed most of the details without guessing. If this set of inferences is correct, then the key to the problem is not the internal group, but the external group. The interior is the territory of the evil god. Those wanted criminals who dare to enter, no matter whether they have bad intentions or not, will hardly make any move under the evil god's gaze. Lin Qi even thinks that those people will be controlled by his companions, those swollen girls, if they enter. , controlled by them to complete the work.
So the key to this matter lies in the external group, which is very maneuverable, so whether you want to promote the ceremony or destroy the ceremony, you must keep an eye on the external group.
Maybe the lie can be turned into the truth. It would be a good idea for me to actually follow the external team.
It depends on how you can convince Howard, think about it again. But no matter what method is used, the inner ghost must first be found to calm his heart.
The question is, how could such an important task be handed over to six outsiders summoned? Not surprisingly, there must be Howard's real cronies among them. It's just that the cronies failed to find the mole, so I was allowed to do it. Get a second layer of insurance.
It seems that rather than finding the mole, it is more important to find Howard's cronies first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to do anything.
But who could it be?
Lynch glanced around the crowd without trace. A group of people were gathering together to study the tomb information provided by Howard, and they seemed not to notice Lynch's prying eyes at all.
Carl Jones, the most active playboy and suspected agent of the Watch.
Dr. Jenna, who is not interested in anything, is suspected to be an undercover agent of the Archaeological Association.
Rooney, a cautious and smart bookseller, a soul-changer of a certain main god, is suspected of being an undercover agent of the church. Just now he reminded me, seemingly unintentionally, that one of the six people must be Howard, was it unintentional? He is Howard's man, is he secretly revealing his identity to me? Or is he the inner ghost, knowing that I am also the same kind, so he shows his identity in another direction?
Salin, a liar with strange motives, seems to be deliberately spying on all his companions, which is very suspicious.
Jack Adams, the one who is least like a mole, deliberately creates conflicts with Dr. Jenna, and is suspected of estrangement from the relationship, which is also suspicious.
There is also the last Judy Butterfly. The target revealed by the mole is the Church of the Sun, and she is like a human-shaped furnace to me. Could she actually be a believer of the Church of the Sun in disguise? What about the soul-changing person who became the Lord of Fire?
Maybe we can find out more about her first. Seeing that she doesn't look very smart all year round, she might be easier to deceive... huh? Where are people?
Thinking of Judy, Lin Qi realized that the girl did not study the map with the others and ran away to someone unknown. Others were accustomed to this and had no reaction.
Lin Qi was about to look for someone, but when he turned around, he was startled by a pair of black eye circles. Judy had come to him at some point, holding a book with her eyes wide open. stared at him.
What's going on?
Lin Qi realized that he could no longer ignore the weirdness of this girl, and he couldn't ignore the heat and pressure in the girl's eyes.
Seeing that others were not paying attention, Lynch forced himself to maintain the calmness that belonged to Selene, took a deep breath, and was about to open his mouth to ask something.
But Judy had already taken a step forward, threw herself into his arms, and shrank back as if to keep warm.
At the same time, a hoarse and trance-like voice sounded close to my ear.
“You are not her.”
"You are him, I found you, thief."
The voice that only two people could hear made Lynch's scalp tingle.
Holy shit, who are you?
The next moment, Lin Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and a huge fireball slowly rose.
