Chapter 329 Prisoners of Time
Exchanging glances with Officer Natalie, the two followed the old housekeeper into the mansion calmly.
Being able to operate openly in the Rhine, believers of this evil god should be among those who can still be contacted, so let’s try it out.
The loyal old housekeeper suffered a broken skin, but the injury was not serious. He had already been bandaged. He respectfully led the way for the two of them, and in his words, he was quite grateful for their help.
"This is the mansion left by the master. After the master passed away, the young master and the young lady will take care of it."
The old housekeeper introduced the two of them as they walked. This mansion is also the Rhine The gardens of ordinary wealthy people in the city are not even big, let alone compared to the Riverside Manor or the Valente family. It is not even as big as the Randall family's mansion when they first traveled through time.
But the care is very meticulous, the mansion is beautiful, the garden is full of flowers, and it feels like home.
But Lynch noticed something strange. In this mansion, the edges of most objects are curved, and the intersection of two objects is also curved. In other words, along the way , Lynch almost never saw the existence of horns.
What strange mysterious property is this?
Forget it, who doesn’t have some quirks? You can’t think that everything is related to mystery.
"Both the young master and the young lady are in poor health and need to rest in the room all year round. The young lady is slightly better and occasionally comes out to take care of the house. Please sit in the living room for a while. The young lady will come out soon. "
After saying that, he let the two of them into the living room and left directly to prepare tea.
The situation in the room is the same as outside. All the furnishings are specially made, and the shapes are twisted and weird, with arcs replacing the existence of corners.
This may have gone beyond the scope of normal hobbies, but seeing that the old housekeeper and servants were normal, Lynch and Officer Natalie sat down.
“The followers of the Billions of Lords of Glory are quite friendly, they should be... okay.”
Lynch played with the specially-made items on the table and felt that this mansion was full of secrets.
"You'd better not think that way, Lynch." The police officer kicked Lynch on the calf and said sternly, "Your exposure to this world is too short, and your understanding is not deep enough. , We cannot use common sense to consider cultists. Even if they appear normal, these human beings may be extremely crazy thugs. This is where the danger of cultists lies not in who they believe in. Because when you meet a few normal cultists, you use common sense to speculate on them, and those who do so pay a heavy price."
"Thank you, I will remember it."
"She's right. Cultists are more or less normal, including me. Daily contact with the old rulers will make us unconsciously accept forbidden knowledge that does not belong to humans, which will seriously damage our sanity and make us crazy. , It’s just that the degree of madness is different, I am relatively mild.”
A young voice came from the door, soft, gentle, and feeble:
“And. You have misunderstood one thing. We are not believers in the Lord of Billions of Glory. We are different from the librarians in the city. What they believe in is the Lord of Billions of Glory, the one who unites all things, Yog-Sothoth himself. Infinite wisdom and the truth of the world. And what our family believes in is a projection of the ancient Eternal One Tawer Yat Umr, the one who unites all things. In short, these two are essentially the same old ruler. In fact, they are different identities, so strictly speaking our beliefs are also different.”
"Like the relationship between the Swollen Daughter and the Haunting Chaos?" Lynch thought subconsciously.
"Well... to be precise, there is no similarity at all, but just understand it this way. If you really understand it, you will not be far from being completely crazy."
"But you look like It’s clear.”
"So I'm crazy, you just can't see it."
That makes sense.
Lin Qi suddenly felt a little fond of this cultist and looked carefully at the lady who was slowly walking from the living room.
It was a pale lady.
White hair, white skin, and a black dress accentuate the paleness of her skin.
The age is estimated to be in his twenties. He is thin and morbidly weak. He is holding a black rabbit doll in his arms.
Her appearance is pretty, but her almost transparent skin makes her look particularly weird.
"My name is Skye, Skye Milt. On behalf of my brother Sibeth Milt, I would like to greet the two outsiders.
It was a bit unexpected. The two of them had imagined it many times. I had seen what the owner of the mansion who was targeted by the townspeople looked like, but I didn't expect that she was such a sickly young girl, as fragile as a porcelain doll that could break at the touch of a touch.
What now?
Lin Qi was a little hesitant. He originally wanted to get to know the family in the town first, but now that they unexpectedly met directly, he has not yet decided how to learn the information about Miracle Light.
The opponent’s position is unclear and one cannot reveal his trump card too early.
"You don't have to worry about this, Lynch. I know why you are here. Your information is correct. The information about Miracle Light is in our hands." How did she know? I haven't said it yet. Mind reading?
Lin Qi's body tensed up and his eyes became cold.
"Are you sure you didn't say anything?" Ms. Skye blinked narrowly and said with a weak smile, "Maybe you didn't say anything just now, but at a certain point in the past, present, and future, are you sure you Didn't you say that? "
Fuck, time.
Her clone with a string of names is probably the power of time, which is the most troublesome thing.
"You don't have to worry. The death of Howard you mentioned was caused by him inadvertently revealing a secret deep in time. But you don't have such worries, it doesn't matter how you talk about it."
What did I say... ...Forget it, I may have said it out of nowhere at some point in time. Just be happy with it.
“He was hunted by the hounds wandering in time because he knew some seemingly insignificant underlying secrets, and the information he revealed might reveal the truth of time. Once you know the underlying secret, it doesn’t matter how you discuss it.”
"How did he know that secret? Is that something that an ordinary person can know?"
"You know the answer."
League of Shadows!
Lynch immediately thought of the answer. I am afraid that the League of Shadows mixed this fatal secret with other information and revealed it to Howard, and Howard violated the taboo without realizing it.
The other party probably used this as a means to kill him with my hands. The methods of these people are really... vicious and unpredictable.
"Okay, I do know." Lynch suddenly smiled bitterly, "However, since you know so much, with your strength, the townspeople outside are not a problem at all. Are we too many? What happened?”
"Do you think I can massacre them? Unless I kill them all, there is nothing I can do against them." The white woman sighed and shook her head, "Don't think too highly of us, we are just two people imprisoned by time. They are just poor prisoners. Once they rush in and destroy this house, my brother and I will die soon. So there is no doubt that you did save my life and my brother's. This is one of the reasons why I am willing to trust you. Without you, this time would be really dangerous. I didn’t expect that even without the influence of the Old Ones, people could become so crazy inexplicably.”
Human nature is much more terrifying than evil gods.
Lin Qi sighed secretly in his heart and asked cautiously: "With all due respect, I would like to know why nothing happened for so many years, but this time you suddenly refused to help? Is there any specific reason?"< br>
"Oh, you want to help us solve this problem in exchange for news about Miracle Light."
"..." Lin Qi felt blocked in his heart. He felt that it was really embarrassing to talk to this woman, and he couldn't say anything. I don’t even know anymore. I wouldn’t have been so stupid at a certain point in time and leaked everything.
The woman's smile suddenly disappeared, and she said with a stern face: "But, I'm sorry, please forgive me for refusing, this deal is not established."
Lynch frowned, held the hand of the police officer next to him, blocked what she wanted to say, and asked in a deep voice: "Why?"
"Because this trouble itself is related to the light of miracles, You will know it after you solve my trouble, there is no need to trade with me.”
“…”
Damn, I was teased.
Woman, do you know that if you talk like this, you will be beaten easily in my hometown? If I had spoken like this in my previous life, I would have been beaten to death eight hundred times.
"Okay." Lynch curled his lips and said with a straight face, "What about the answer to the question I just asked?"
"I will refuse them because there seems to be an invisible hand behind this rinderpest controlling everything. My brother and I suspect that their purpose is to force the light of miracles through the death of livestock, so we can only refuse to ask for help, but We really didn’t expect those townspeople to do such a thing.”
The police officer couldn’t help but asked, “Didn’t you see the result?”
The woman sighed quietly. He took a breath, shook his head and said: "You can't just look at everything, Natalie."
"Tell me what you think you can tell me now about the Miracle Light and this incident." Lynch did not hide it and said straightforwardly, "We will try our best to help you solve the troubles of those townspeople. "
"Deal." Skye paused and said softly, "The light of miracle is actually a very strange thing..."
