Chapter 235: Missed the Point

Looking at the pile of documents in front of him, Lin Qi felt extremely complicated.

These things are probably the source of Downey's stack of photos, that is, the body of the mysterious document. It is understandable that the photos are so dangerous. It felt as exciting as sleeping with a nuclear bomb in my arms last night.

Moreover, after going around in a long circle and racking his brains, several people died, and even Officer Natalie almost sent him away. Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, he discovered that what he was looking for was actually right next to him.

I have to say, fate is really a wonderful thing. But now that I know that these are related to Advent-level rare objects, should I continue to investigate?

[Don’t get me wrong, it has nothing to do with fate, Lynch. 】

'Um? ’

[All of this is already doomed when you embark on the road to immortality, Lynch. The supreme will strongly attracts mystery and filth to entangle around you. With your attraction to mystery, the mysterious events that have been related to you, How far away do you think it will be? During this twenty-day journey, haven't you realized everything that happened around you? No matter where you hide, no matter how blind you are, the mystery will always appear around you when you don't expect it. You have no choice. Just bear it. 】

Lin Qi opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say.

[This is the price of your own choice, Lynch. I have reminded you that the road to immortality is a journey that cannot be turned back. The moment you set foot on the starting point, your life is destined to be closely entangled with mystery and cannot stop. , cannot be separated until you go to the highest level, or... return to the depths of the dreamland. 】

'Um? Wait, neighbor, did you miss something? Shouldn't it be crossing the River Styx and returning to eternal sleep? There has never been such a thing as returning to the dreamland. Don’t you think something is wrong? ’

【……】

‘Hey, are you there? ’

【……】

‘Hello, is there anyone? ’

[Lynch, do you understand the meaning of the word "missed"? 】

The female voice in his head was still so gentle, but for some reason, Lin Qi suddenly felt cold all over, as if the end had come.

[It seems you understand, but have those stories in your memory ever told you how you will be treated when you may discover some unknown secrets and still have to show them? 】

On a murderous night when the moon is dark, the wind is high and the sky is set on fire, I feed the young master cakes.

The treatment was, of course, to kill him and silence him, and wrap his body in cement and sink it into the Rand River.

No, it's broad daylight now, so I'm not afraid.

Lin Qi didn't panic at all, and sneered, holding the crimson moon in the soul statue in his head: "I was wrong, I don't know anything, wuwuwu, please forgive me, you are my neighbor."

Bang, I felt like I was kicked out of the world of consciousness. Ms. Luna sighed quietly in a gentle voice: [It’s not that I didn’t say it, but...]

'Or am I not in a position to know now? ’

[No, it’s impossible to know, so don’t even think about it, otherwise there will be irreparable consequences. 】

Hiss, Lynch really felt a little cold this time. The neighbors would not lie about this kind of thing. I am afraid it was really dangerous information, but it made him not want to...

‘Isn’t this the requirement to never think about the white polar bear? This is too difficult for people. ’

[You have to do it even if you can’t do it. This is also the test that the road to immortality brings to you. 】

'Um? Isn't this because you let it slip, what does it have to do with the road to immortality? ’

[…Lynch, do you understand the meaning of the word “angry with shame” in your hometown? 】

‘I was wrong. I never dare to praise the great Crimson Moon again. ’

The fearless Detective Lynch Levy calmed down a furious goddess at the speed of light, returned his attention to the large pile of information in front of him, and sighed softly. Since you can't escape, then face it bravely. I don't believe that an evil god can jump out of here and push me to the ground...Forget it, it's really possible.

It was this thing that killed Downey and Colin, blew up Mrs. Bessie's prop shop, and seriously injured Officer Natalie. So why don't you call those two ladies over to watch it together?

Forget it, I'll probably be beaten to death by those two people.

Lynch shook his head and told Miss Valente all about the information. However, he did not say anything clearly about Duke Wayne's commission, and Miss Valente was too sensible to ask any further questions. Everyone understood it tacitly.

"I have read these materials, every page, and read them repeatedly, and I don't have any problems, so it should be safe to read them normally."

After listening to Lynch's story attentively, Miss Valente flipped through a few pages at random, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she said thoughtfully:

"But according to your description, there is obviously a strong connection between the deaths of those people and these documents. This means that these are indeed mysterious documents. However, there should be many people who have seen these documents. You said that Nolin still has copies. That number will at least increase several times, but these people are fine."

"Isn't it contradictory?"

"It's not a contradiction, because the condition for the mysterious document to be effective is not to be read, but to be understood. Different from those technical documents written in cipher text, normal mysterious documents can only be read if the core information to be conveyed by the document is understood. The filth contaminates the reader.”

Miss Valente spread out the document, page by page:

"This means that the information conveyed by the text and graphics of the document is normal and harmless, but there is some core information hidden in it that requires certain special methods to be understood. That information is the real carrier of mystery and filth. So you see , normal reading is okay, so many people have read it, including Maya, but once the real interpretation method is found, even if they just happen to encounter the method accidentally, when the reader realizes the information interpreted by this method. When... bang."

Miss Valente let out an explosive sound effect, which made Lynch feel the hair on the back of his neck stand up. This girl explained in much more detail than Clin, and made him fully understand the dangers of the mysterious document.

When you can't understand, it doesn't matter how you read it, even if you memorize all the words, it won't matter. And once you suddenly have a flash of inspiration at a certain moment and realize the real core information, you are already dead.

What's even scarier is that if you have written down all the general information in detail before, after you understand the interpretation method, you can't even stop reading because the information has already stayed in your consciousness, just like Just like that white polar bear, the less you think about the information, the clearer it will be in your memory until you are completely swallowed up by the mysterious filth.

"Yeah, so even though I didn't know it was a mysterious document, I habitually didn't remember it or copy it."

"Yeah, you just moved them right home."

Lynch showed a wry smile. It seems now that the fire in the Hall of Order was man-made. It was most likely caused by Mayor Howard instructing Walker and others to find someone to burn these things. But no one expected that this girl would investigate the tunnel in depth. When I arrived, I moved everything away and eventually burned it to nothing.

coincide?

No, there are no coincidences in the mysterious world. Even a novice like Lynch realizes that this is probably just a way for the mysterious filth to keep spreading.

It was an extremely troublesome thing. Before doing it, Lin Qi would still hesitate to look at it. However, after the exchange with Ms. Crimson just now, Lin Qi realized that these things came to him on his own initiative, and it was impossible for him to avoid them casually. Stretching your head out is also a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife. It is better to face it head-on and gain more information to be more confident.

He took out the pipe and put it in his mouth. Before he could light it, Miss Valente took it over. She took out the beautifully packaged Huihuan grass, filled the pipe for him and stuffed it into his mouth, but...

"Exit first, Miss Diana. My will is different from ordinary people's. At least I can ensure safety."

Miss Valente was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I have already seen it, Mr. Lynch, there is no point in avoiding it now. And, are you insulting me? What do you think of Diana de Valente?" Will you leave your companions who are entrusted with life and death and run to a safe place? You also need a safety officer, I am watching you, Mr. Lynch."

"I……"

Looking at the gentle smile of the noble girl, Lin Qi felt warm in his heart. He no longer had many worries, lit his pipe and opened the information.
