Chapter 277: Insider Catches Insider

Why did you find me? How could you find me?

The eyes behind the round fan flickered, and Lin Qi was already alert.

It was too abrupt. Would anyone give such an important task to someone they just met? He was not worried... Well, it seemed that there was really nothing to worry about.

Thinking carefully about his current identity, the Swelling Daughter was the most important partner, and he was the representative of the Swelling Daughter. He even took out the secret book to scare people just now, so there was nothing unusual about his identity.

And he came from the small world of the Swelling Daughter, rarely went in and out of the world, and had no connection with any forces. He had no reason to protect anyone, and was the best candidate to find a traitor.

In addition to the action just now, the ceremony had a chance to be held smoothly, all thanks to her final move to retrieve the gem. If she didn't really hope that the ceremony could be successful, she only needed to ignore it to destroy the action.

Hiss, it seems that I have been a little too strong in the past few days when I was preparing my identity. With this identity now, I am afraid that Mayor Howard will not suspect anyone in the villa, but I will not suspect myself.

Then how about I say Walker is a traitor?

The Ranger leader shuddered as his eyes swept across Walker's face, and looked at the doors and windows in confusion.

There was no gap, so how could a cold wind blow through?

Forget it, I can't always pull the wool off a sheep, so I'll let him go for once. I'll do the business first. I was just worrying about whether it would be convenient to figure out the cause and effect of everything, and then the opportunity came to me.

"Haha... it's an interesting proposal, but I refuse."

Lin Qi tried to imitate the performance of the group of monsters he met in the monastery with a meaningful laugh behind the fan:

"Just because I like to watch the excitement doesn't mean I like to be part of it. It's enough for me to watch from behind."

"Ms. Selene, this matter is related to whether the ceremony can be held smoothly, which will directly affect our transaction with that lady." Mayor Howard frowned and said seriously, "It's a matter of great importance. Please consider it carefully before making a decision."

"That's more interesting. What does your transaction with the Swelling Daughter have to do with me, Selene? You want me to help... Haha."

"I understand." Howard looked at Walker, as if thinking of what he had just experienced, and nodded thoughtfully, "Don't worry, we won't let you help in vain, but given your special hobbies, you must have no interest in money and property in this world."

Oh no, I shot myself in the foot... That, I didn't think so, in fact, I don't mind you killing me with Rand Pounds at all.

Unfortunately, Lin Qi dared not think but not speak, and could only show an unfathomable smile.

"Let's do this, the content of our transaction with that lady is the news of another descending-level wonder." Mayor Howard pondered for a moment before saying, "When the transaction is made, we will give the news to you, and you will report it to that lady. This is enough to please that lady, it should be..."

Hiss, this risk is really not in vain, right at the beginning, it is such explosive information, using the news of the descending-level wonder that the evil god is interested in to exchange for the mirror, it seems that this is the truth of their transaction with the evil god.

Let's stop while we are ahead, if we can exchange for such a core secret, it would be good, and even the fifth-level wonder that the evil god is interested in must also contain fragments of divine power. The divine power of this mirror is just a copy, which is useless to me, but that one is not necessarily.

"I want to see sincerity." The eyes behind the round fan became cold, "The name of the wonder."

"Miracle Light."

Light? Neighbor.

[...] Silently.

Okay, I understand, at least the difference is not big.

Lynch suppressed his excitement and said calmly: "Tell me the cause and effect of this matter. Remember, no matter whether you think it is useful or not, even if it is something I already know, tell me in detail."

"This..."

"If you want me to help, follow my method. Otherwise, you can find a way to solve it yourself. This is my usual attitude." Lynch raised his chin towards Walker. "I have my reasons for asking this. It's your business if you don't understand. Now let's start from why there are so many inexplicable people here."

The strong attitude dispelled Mayor Howard's suspicion. He finally felt relieved to slowly unfold the whole conspiracy in front of Lynch.

Through some channels, Prince William got the news of the Gate of Illusion and Reality from a secret intelligence organization. Through the method provided by the other party, after sacrificing more than 300 lives and sacrificing three to five people each time he entered, he finally established contact with the small world of the Swelling Girl and finally reached a deal.

To get the Gate of Illusion and Reality, a complex ceremony must be held in the present world and the world of the Swelling Girl at the same time. The ceremony requires ten people to participate, five inside and five outside.

These special personnel were recruited from the outside world. Some had legal identities, and some were even wanted criminals like Pirate Davis. There were twelve people in total. The reasons for the recruitment were different, but no one knew that this matter was related to the Advent-level artifact. They all thought it was just a more dangerous ceremony.

As for why such an important ceremony required people from outside, Howard did not explain in detail, but only said that it was a necessary condition for the ceremony. Lynch did not ask further. He had realized from the other party's attitude that these people would probably die in the ceremony in the end and were important cannon fodder.

The people living in this manor now are these weird participants and their entourage.

But now the problem is that Mayor Howard and Walker discovered that there were ghosts among the twelve people, and there was more than one.

Everything was ready, and preparations could begin tomorrow, and the ceremony could be held in three days. But something like this happened, which made Howard very nervous. If these important candidates made trouble during the ceremony, it might cause the ceremony to fail, and everything would have to be done again. It was not certain whether the Swelling Daughter would cooperate at that time.

The traitor must be found within three days to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony. But both Howard and Walker's targets were too obvious to investigate on their own, and everyone else was suspected, so they had to find someone who had no vested interests and was absolutely trustworthy.

Of course, it was Ms. Selene from the Swelling Daughter camp.

"You are really good at judging people." Lynch said with a smile.

"Of course, in the world, judging people is the most important thing."

Mayor Howard adjusted his single-sided glasses and smiled reservedly and calmly.

"I have another question. Nothing happened for so many days. Why did they suddenly confirm that there was a traitor? What happened?"

"In fact, I had some suspicions, but there was no evidence until something happened a few days ago." Howard signaled to Walker, and Walker quickly checked the doors and windows to confirm that no one was eavesdropping. The mayor whispered, "You know about Lynch and Valente today. They secretly got the method to contact that lady."

Lynch narrowed his eyes, and a trace of gloom rose in his heart.

"In order to stop them from continuing the investigation and to expose the traitor, we revealed this information to the twelve people at the suggestion of a gentleman. As a result, not long ago, someone broke into Valente's mansion and destroyed the contact information. It is obvious that there must be a traitor in this manor. He must be found and solved, otherwise, in order to ensure the safety of the ceremony, I can only consider temporarily terminating it."

That won't do. The longer the night, the more dreams there are. In order to ensure that the ceremony can be held smoothly, the traitor must be found and educated. He actually dared to let someone burn my friend's house. Wait, I'm coming to you.

"Okay, I promise you."

Lin Qi smiled strangely and nodded:

"Then, the game is about to begin."

The last sentence was adjusted. The previous version was ambiguous, as if Lin Qi really wanted to expose the traitor.
