Chapter 288 The ceremony begins
Judy, I’m sorry. Cooperation is not free, and the risks on me will be borne by you for the time being.
In fact, before setting off, Lynch had already realized that he was in endless trouble.
Unless you are willing to go against your own philosophy of life, throw away the gems and give up halfway, and stay out of it, you will face huge risks, and a slight mistake can lead to disaster.
Seven team members and seven undercover agents may represent more than ten different forces. It sounds funny, but in fact this is the scariest part.
They can't just come to join in the fun, they must all have a purpose, and many of them want to destroy the ceremony.
It would be okay if it was just a simple destruction of the ritual. At worst, everyone would have to start from scratch and figure out a solution. However, once someone tries to cause trouble and wants to kill a few people, then Lynch, the supervisor who is clearly on Howard's side, will be the first one. The target was secretly targeted.
In this group of people, except for Judy, the evil apostle, who is stronger than the others, Rooney Jack and Salin are both at the third level of power, and Dr. Carl and Dr. Jenna are at the fourth level. , as a second-level opponent, I would suffer a loss if I faced any one of them. However, I had shown an unfathomable character before. Once the other party made a move, they would definitely use all their strength to sneak attack, and I would definitely die.
Lynch didn’t want to die in the hands of someone who was supposed to be his companion, but he couldn’t disclose his identity, otherwise the real Howard people would find out and pull the strings behind his back, and he would still die. .
In the mysterious world, there is really no such thing as simplicity. The only solution is to always be vigilant and not leave a chance to anyone.
So when Lynch realized that someone might be starting to cause trouble, he immediately decided to take action. Using the strongest Judy to share his danger, he took the opportunity to figure out this person's true goal.
It would be better if I could get another ally. As for Miss Target, I will apologize to you with guilt.
I'm such a good person.
The lights in the camp gradually went out, and only the lanterns in the hands of patrol workers were still shaking the messy beams of light.
The surroundings fell into deathly silence, with only the roars of beasts and the chirping of insects faintly coming from outside the distant valley.
The extinction of insect beasts is enough to explain the problem.
In a latent state, Lynch climbed up to the roof of his barracks, took out a monocular, and peered into the direction of the flash.
It is a small lake outside the camp. The terrain is open, the lake reflects the moonlight, and the visibility is pretty good.
There seems to be no one, only the mysterious crimson and bright silvery white, the figures of the two sisters are reflected in the lake.
Rangbo, go over and have a look.
Making up his mind, Lynch took out the Blood Temptation cane and the revolver. After thinking about it, he put the pistol back. He turned his wrist and turned his palm upward, letting a black skeleton appear in his palm. Press it directly into your chest.
His whole body trembled, as if struck by lightning, but immediately a surge of power surged out of his body, filling his whole body with strength.
Leveraging the concealment of lurking, Lin Qi jumped lightly. The cat's favor became more effective after the amplification, and disappeared into the darkness like a puff of smoke.
Leap out of the camp from the rear, go around the fence to the side, and lurk all the way to the lake.
The dead silence seemed to bring endless pressure, but with the cane in hand, Lynch still had no hesitation.
I have level two power and am already a mature soul-shifter. I must learn to have the courage to face everything.
The lakeside was empty, and the water was as calm as an ancient well. Lin Qi frowned, silently recalling the direction where the light appeared just now, and walked around the lakeside...Lin Qi took back the foot he had just stepped out. .
There are plants on the ground, and Carl Jones’ performance just now is still vivid in my mind.
Just choose the rocks by the lake, and Lynch carefully walked around from the shady place to the opposite side of the lake.
Stop and just about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Qi suddenly felt something in his heart. He immediately followed his instinct and took a step back, shrinking into the shadow of the rocks by the lake.
The next moment, a ball of fluorescent light like a will-o'-the-wisp floated over from the lake. Lynch immediately realized that this thing was probably the flash he and Judy had seen just now. The brightness was not high. I could see it at that time, probably because it was dark enough outside and Judy happened to remind me, otherwise I might have ignored it.
It seems that the stupid girl is not stupid either.
But what is this? Like a bigger firefly.
Lin Qi, dressed in black, held his breath and lurked in the shadows, using multiple safeguards to cover his existence. He even looked away and only used his peripheral vision to observe the floating will-o'-the-wisps to avoid the pressure brought by his gaze.
Seeing the large fireflies float to the river and suddenly explode, exploding thousands of weak fireflies. With a buzzing sound, the fireflies quickly gathered together and turned into a group of human figures.
The tall and thin figure is the unsociable liar Salin. Transforming into a human form, Salin quickly circled around and passed by Lynch several times. Fortunately, thanks to the triple cover, Lynch was not discovered by this guy who was stronger than himself.
After confirming that no one was around, Salin squatted down by the lake, put his fingers into the water and drew a circle. As the fingers stirred, the water surface in the circle began to rotate, and soon a vortex was formed. Not long after, a somewhat familiar voice came from the vortex.
“You’re late, Salin.”
Walker's voice.
"Then it's your fault. Don't tell me that the death of the six people who opened the door was not your fault. Although I don't know who did it, it must be your people."
"No, it was done by Prince William's people. We don't know who it is. Do you have any guesses?"
"I'm very suspicious of Selene. Her attitude is too ambiguous. And it's not easy to kill six people who opened the door remotely. She should be able to do it with her strength."
"It can't be her, She appeared too late, and the chance is very high. She should be one of the remaining five people. You can continue to wait and see. It doesn't matter if you can't find her. Remember, once the door opener is in place, the ceremony has officially begun. You. You have to be careful at all times and don't get into trouble."
"Don't worry, it's very simple."
"That's good. Remember, in order not to miss your Excellency's business, we must ensure that the ceremony goes smoothly. It's best to bring the mirror back in person. If you really can't do it, I'm not allowed to give up. If necessary, you can take the initiative to talk to Sailor. I contacted Ms. Nie, she is a servant of the Swollen Daughter, and her position is okay.”
Thank you, you are also a good person.
It seems that the Excellency they are talking about and Prince William are really not the same person.
Lin Qi was making calculations in his mind when he saw that Salin had already erased the vortex on the lake, and then under Lin Qi's strange eyes, he... drew another one.
“It’s me, Salin.”
“Is everything going well?”
The voice coming from the second vortex was more familiar. It was actually the voice of Dark Night Archbishop Trinleth.
“I have followed the target to the expected location.”
“Very good, keeping an eye on this ceremony, it probably won’t succeed in the end, but if he fails, the thing will really come out, Remember to get it at all costs and not let it fall into the hands of others.”
"I will do it, remember to prepare my gold."
With a few simple perfunctory words, Salin wiped out the vortex again, but Lynch did not look at his actions, his attention was attracted by another Stuff attracts past.
Something was squirming in the cracks of the stone. If you look closely, you will see that it is a small, gray mouse that got out of the crack at some point.
Damn it, Jack Adams, he came over to peek too.
Fortunately, I arrived early. I was afraid I would be discovered if I arrived late.
Lynch only felt creepy, but immediately realized another thing that made him even more creepy.
I don’t know when it started, but large blisters were bubbling up in the heart of the lake, as if the lake water had suddenly boiled.
The change in the lake water made Salin exclaim, and he stood up suddenly and took a few steps back.
However, before he could leave the lake, a large, pale and strange existence was rising from the dark bottom of the water, seeming to rush up slowly but really quickly. It was so large that it almost covered the entire lake. .
Countless pale hollow spikes reflected a strange light in the moonlight.
For some reason, the sentence he just heard suddenly popped into Lin Qi's mind.
The ceremony has begun.
Suddenly, all the spikes shrank extremely quickly, and then quickly popped out toward everything near the lake.
