Chapter 346 Mrs. Maggie (two chapters in one)
The bad news is that the candlelight dinner plan completely failed.
The good news is that dinner for two has become dinner for three.
Lynch was left to eat a communal Communion at Tribulation Church.
The food was quite shabby, just a few vegetables, an apple, a piece of white bread, and at most a small slice of cheese on top. He felt that the food he fed rabbits in his previous life was richer than these. Thinking of the quality of the snacks and black tea he had at the Church of the Night, Lin Qi just thought... he'd better go there for a meal next time, it's familiar anyway.
But everyone ate the same, including Nightingale and Miss Valente. Lynch didn't talk nonsense. In fact, the taste was not bad, but after eating, he felt that his eyes were a little red and his ears were a little red. It's a bit long, and it's like not eating, otherwise there's nothing wrong with it.
Only halfway through eating did he realize why he was eating with more than sixty members of the Church of Tribulation.
It is not a free Holy Communion distributed to the public, nor a reception meal for visitors. It is purely a daily internal meal for believers.
Why are you giving me an in-house meal? What's the point?
Lin Qi didn't know, but seeing how warm and friendly these believers were to him, no different from entertaining his own people, and looking at the aristocratic lady sitting next to him with a strange expression on his face, Lin Qi decided not to consider this issue.
He was afraid that it would cause a murder, and there was someone biting bread next to him who was about to burst out sparks.
When he was sent home by the two ladies, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Although he always felt that there was something wrong with this behavior, facing the folding fan and sword, he felt that Nothing is wrong anymore.
When they returned home, Mrs. Maggie and little Martha should have gone to bed. Lynch did not disturb the two of them and went straight back to his bedroom.
Yesterday, I had a battle of wits and courage with Xing Zhicai. Apart from killing my first opponent, the Snake Man, I didn't experience any danger, but I was always under tremendous mental pressure.
The lives of the entire town rested on his shoulders. More importantly, the police officer was also beside him, and their lives also depended on him. He seemed relaxed, but he almost exhausted all his energy and imagination to solve this crisis in time.
After that, I only slept casually at Milt's house for a few hours before I was picked up by a group of big guys from the Watchers, and the bearded Trin laughed at me for seeing you every time.
Lin Qi felt that this man was really arrogant. It seemed that the lizard had been digested, so he was very moved and gave him the Color of Stars. He was worried all the way and his face was pale. He was relieved when he reached the destination. One breath.
Anyway, he was very tired today, so Lynch simply did nothing. He opened the curtains, bathed in the crimson moonlight, and lay quietly on the bed, thinking.
He has not yet thought about how to solve the Apocalypse of Glaaki. Even if he wants to take care of the mood of the police officer, he cannot allow such dangerous and strange things to spread uncontrollably in the Rhine City. Therefore, he must not leave it to the Knowledge Library casually. Profiteers sell on consignment.
Let's put it aside for a while and see what the situation is. This matter is not urgent. The most important thing now is the Human Face Fruit and the invitation from the Duke's Palace. Both of these must be dealt with in the next few days. Right Now, there is also the Archbishop of Fortune Church, who needs to find a way to contact him.
I have no friendship with him, but maybe we can think differently and take advantage of the situation.
I should be able to persuade Archbishop Trinleth of the Church of the Night, and Ms. Nightingale can also be invited. Although those lunatics from the Church of the Sun have no reason to help me, they went to Ms. Valente’s house to blow up the house. They belong to the divine right and The conflict between secular nobles is also relatively sensitive. In addition, the last mirror was punched by my neighbor. With these threats, their archbishop should be able to give face.
In this way, three churches have come forward, and the Church of Fortune does not need to do anything. It is just giving a message, and their archbishop should be able to accept it.
In this way, the matter of Miracle Light may really be put on the agenda, otherwise I would not feel at ease.
‘Neighbor, chat with me. ’
【Huh? 】
‘I don’t know why you don’t tell me directly about many things. I think my attitude is already obvious. It should not only be the reason of my own choice. I guess there may be some things that the gods cannot declare, otherwise it will cause uncontrollable changes. Or it might affect other things. ’
[…]
‘Well, it seems to be about the same, so I can push it myself. You actually don’t mind if I know, but you can’t tell? ’
【……】
‘Are you asleep? ’
[Well, I fell asleep. 】
‘Oh, that’s good, so maybe my guess is right. Another catastrophe is coming? So plagues, wars, famines, and deaths will appear one after another, and these are all signs of the catastrophe? ’
[It’s time for you to sleep, Lynch. 】
‘There seems to be a mistake, where is it? ’ Lin Qi was thinking, and suddenly remembered a previous guess. He stared at the red moon outside the window and thought, ‘Could it be that the causal relationship is reversed? They are not signs of a catastrophe, but they cause a catastrophe. ’
【……】
‘Hiss…then what is the purpose of the Shadow Alliance doing these things? The Mordiggian thing always makes me think they want to cause the plague, but all the pros say there's no way the Ghoul King's powers could cause the plague, maybe they're right, but I'm reserving my thoughts as they move forward His plan to let Howard die may be to stimulate conflicts between Parliament and the kingdom, which may lead to war. The first step is a plague, the second step is a war... Do they want to artificially cause a catastrophe? ’
[…]
‘Are they crazy? Will this do them any good? At the end of the first era, you were...'
[Don’t treat anyone as a madman, Lynch. Some seemingly crazy behaviors may be just because you don’t see the reasons behind them. In fact, these behaviors have sufficient self-consistent logic. 】
‘So, you know? But you can't say that? ’
【……】
‘You agree that their logic is self-consistent, but you don’t agree with their behavior itself, and you want to stop them? ’
[Lynch, you don’t need to consider what I want to do, what you have to consider is what you want to do. 】
'Don't say these useless things. All I want to do is consider what you want to do. You woke me up from death, kept me for who knows how many years, and sent me into this body. Here, help me survive all the way. I have to consider what you want to do, and I have to help you do it. What does it have to do with you? ’
Lin Qi was actually half asleep and half awake, and then he suddenly realized what he had been thinking.
Holy shit, why did I lose my temper with my neighbor? What should I do if I insulted a goddess? Waiting online, urgent.
The confused brain suddenly woke up, but it was also completely messed up. However, before he could get the reply that was destined to be non-existent, a gentle voice suddenly came from his mind.
[If this is really your choice, then keep doing it, Lynch...] Ms. Luna was silent for a moment, and said quietly, [I am very happy. 】
Are you happy to be criticized by me? Lin Qi was a little confused for a moment.
[Because of this, there will be a reason when divine punishment comes. 】
‘Hey, are you kidding me. ’
[What do you think? ] A series of chuckles rang out in my mind for the first time, but they quickly stopped laughing, [Unfortunately, now is not the time to think about this. You have more important things to consider. 】Um?
Following Ms. Luna’s reminder, Lynch suddenly realized that a rustling sound was coming from the bedroom door.
Is there an intruder? Are the landlady and Martha okay?
Lin Qi felt nervous, but soon realized that the other party was probably coming for him. He quickly suppressed his worries, squinted his eyes and breathed softly, pretending to have fallen asleep.
Sure enough, the door opened gently, and a figure flashed in and walked softly to the bed.
Under the crimson moonlight, Lin Qi saw a head of dazzling blond hair.
It was the landlady who was standing at the head of his bed, leaning over and looking at him.
? ? ?
Before Lynch could react, the landlady’s arm had already moved.
Then the nightgown slipped off gently, revealing...
Damn it!
Lin Qi, a senior magician in his previous life, only felt his nose was hot and his mind went blank.
Mrs. Maggie stood in front of her, so dazzling in the moonlight.
Her long blond hair was flowing smoothly, her milk-like skin exuded an incandescent halo, her beautiful figure showed no signs of childbirth, and her slender legs... poof.
Lin Qi, who has read countless films, has never seen such a scene. This is simply the strongest mental shock. Lin Qi's brain is already in a mess. In front of him, only the white skin shining in the moonlight and shaking The blond girl has only one thought in her mind:
What are you going to do! Why don't you wear clothes!
However, before the pathetic otaku brain could accept everything in front of him, the landlady had already raised her arm, showing everything more clearly to Lynch.
"Mr. Detective, I have seen everything you have done for me and Martha. I am just a stupid woman. I don’t know how to express my gratitude. I have no money, no knowledge, and no ability. The only thing I can do is to repay you with myself. I hope you can accept my body and continue to stay here. For you, I really, really..."
Mrs. Maggie's voice suddenly choked. He didn't say anything more, but slowly leaned towards Lin Qi, getting closer and closer, and you could even see the glistening tears in the corners of his beautiful eyes.
At this moment, Lynch suddenly understood everything.
This lady is not only grateful, but also wants to use this method to keep herself and the Book of Purification for a long time, so that Martha I can be safe.
Motherly love is indeed a bit touching, but what the hell should I do now?
Lin Qi was already feeling hot all over, and certain changes had already occurred. He was almost unconscious, but the clarity of his thoughts allowed him to calm down a little.
No matter what she thinks, I am taking advantage of others' danger. This is tantamount to me holding the Book of Purification to threaten the other party. Do I really want to do something worse than a beast?
Although I dream about it, and occasionally fantasize, but not in this way in this situation.
For a moment, Lynch fell into a fierce psychological struggle, and the landlady's soft body was already close to him.
Biting his lips hard, Lynch turned over and pressed the landlady's body. Just like when they first met, he stared at the landlady's lake-like eyes with red eyes, trying hard to keep the tone in his voice. The trembling is less severe:
"Think it over carefully, Maggie is too...ma'am."
"We have known each other for almost two months. You should know who I am. I really like your... body, and I am also dreaming about what will happen next. But I am also a person with a bottom line. If it were another situation, I would be very... Accept it happily, but not for this reason. I don’t think it is right for me to continue to let everything happen.” I feel ashamed of my behavior. In order to avoid embarrassment, I can't continue to live here. Leaving is the only option. But is this what you want to see?"
"Instead of doing this, let's put everything aside tonight. Treat it like a dream. You are still the gentle and beautiful landlady, and I am still the pervert who fantasizes about your back. We will continue our originally peaceful life together until one day in the future, everything may happen naturally. Instead of relying on the book of purification to trigger everything.”
The landlady never said a word, but after listening to Lynch's words, her eyes became extremely complicated, with a bit of resentment in her gratitude, but also a little bit of dependence.
Slowly, Maggie's body relaxed and she no longer struggled to hold her up. Only then did Lin Qi feel her body change, her face turned red, and she quickly fell to the side, lying side by side with the landlady. On the bed, for a moment, in the room under the moonlight, there were only two people breathing very clearly.
“After all, you don’t want me to have to leave, ma’am.”
Lynch's heart was bleeding as he spoke.
What the hell did I do? Why did I push my dream away.
But he has no regrets. Taking advantage of others' danger is not what a man should do.
As soon as the bed moved, the landlady stood up silently. She stood by the bed and stared at Lynch for a long time, then suddenly leaned forward and kissed him.
Huh?
Lin Qi opened his eyes wide and once again fell into the dilemma of having a blank mind. This time he even forgot how to breathe and let the hot breath hit his face.
After a long time, the landlady pushed Lynch's body hard, took a few steps back to distance herself, and said in a trembling voice:
"I hate you, and thank you. I'm ready to give up completely." Be prepared for shame and morality, but you...can everything really be the same as before?"
"I'm afraid it's impossible, there's no way to go back." Lynch lay on the bed, his eyes flickering. He said quietly, "At least in the future, in my sleep, there will be more beautiful dreams, and there are many of them, which makes me very embarrassed."
The landlady's cheeks were slightly red, she bit her lip and her eyes were watery. She suddenly stamped her feet, picked up the scattered nightgown, lowered her head and ran out of the bedroom.
Looking at such a beautiful back, Lin Qi’s expression became even more complicated.
Dong-dong-dong.
Mrs. Maggie ran all the way back to the bedroom, leaned against the door and gasped softly, staring blankly at the weak light of the gas lamp, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a long time, he let go of the red lips that were bitten with teeth marks, and snorted softly.
"Natalie, Valente, hum."
In the bedroom on the second floor, Lynch was still lying on the bed, looking straight at the ceiling.
‘Is this the more important thing you said? ’
A burst of pleasant laughter was clear and sweet, echoing in Lynch’s mind.
That night, Lynch couldn't sleep.
