Chapter 279 Team Members

I know this question.

When Lynch saw the sudden appearance of brilliance, he subconsciously took a step to the side and just retreated behind Carl Jones.

As a result, Carl Jones, whose sight was blocked by Lynch, was hit by the colorful light in the face before he could even blink, and he covered his face with a cry.

Fortunately, I am not a lady, and I do not have the habit of giving priority to ladies. My reaction was a step slower, otherwise I would have been fooled. Mr. Jones, you are a good person, and I will miss you...

While he was making sarcastic remarks in his heart, Lin Qi suddenly frowned and felt that this scene seemed familiar.

But before he could think about it, he heard Carl Jones raise his voice:

"Dr. Jenna, thank you for your enthusiasm, but please keep your strange things away and don't scare this beautiful lady."

"Have you ever seen a strange thing that doesn't get out of control? I've never seen it." A lazy and casual female voice came from inside, "Don't worry, little Carl, it's safe now, come in."

"Really, I've lost control so many times in the past few days. I shouldn't be more careful." Carl Jones muttered angrily. Suddenly he remembered something. When he turned around, he immediately returned to his elegant gentleman manner and bowed. , "I'm so sorry, beautiful lady, for frightening you."

"No way." Lynch smiled mysteriously and looked at Karl with charming eyes, "I'm not the one who was confused. I have nothing to be surprised about."

Carl Jones was blocked speechless, but Lynch just smiled softly behind the fan, passed Carl who was blocking the door, and walked in calmly.

The entertainment room is arranged a bit like a bar. The big speaker of the gramophone spits out melodious orchestral music in the corner. Under a few bright gas lamps, no one is playing pool. There are only two cues across the table. Several chess and card tables are empty. There were also cigars and empty wine glasses.

There is a small bar in the front, with a waiter serving as a bartender standing inside. A young lady in her twenties is sitting outside the bar, holding a small pendant in her hand.

The woman is thin and frail, with blond hair coiled on her head, wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a rolled brim, and a sturdy green men's hunting suit. There are light freckles on her face. She is not very beautiful. It can only be said that she is good-looking and not annoying. However, she always has a lazy expression, as if she doesn't care about anything.

Including human life.

Jenna Letty is an archaeologist who was eventually expelled from the Archaeological Association for using dangerous objects in ruins and ancient tombs, causing casualties many times. Translated in human terms, if you find something interesting in the ruins, you will be curious to read it and try to decipher it. Then if you are lucky, the team members may be reduced by about half, but if you are not lucky, only a few people will come back.

Compared to the simple tomb robber Carl Jones, this woman is much more terrifying.

Of course, this was the association's official reason when she was expelled from the Archaeological Association. As for whether there was any inside story, it's hard to say. Anyway, the two sides have been deeply conflicted since then. Jenna has repeatedly criticized the association in public, and the association has directly banned Jenna. , causing Dr. Jenna to disappear in recent years.

However, Lynch didn't care about this at this time. His attention was attracted by the small pendant in Dr. Jenna's hand.

It was a grinning shark.

[The ocean current in the dream, King Henry's childhood dream, takes him to travel in the dream world every night, meeting other friends happily. 】

Sure enough, it was that useless and strange object that shocked people and had seen it once before in a big museum.

According to the unique law of strange objects, this should be the one that was in the hands of Professor Green a few days ago. This is interesting. What about the sworn hatred between the Archaeological Association and the Ocean?

Are you the mole?

"This is a strange thing I brought. It's scary and almost harmless." Seeing Lynch looking at his toys, Dr. Jenna generously placed the pendant on the bar. "It's of no use, but once it gets out of control, It will randomly shoot a beam of light at nearby creatures."

"What about this?" Lynch sat down next to the doctor and waved away a few mosquitoes hovering nearby.

"It requires advanced souls, generally refers to humanoid creatures, these things do not count."

The Doctor doesn't smell like a lady's perfume, but instead smells like Mrs. Bessie. Listening to her answer, he said thoughtfully: "There is no need to bring useless rare things here. Is there any commemorative significance?"

"That's not true. It should be useful in the ruins. Find companions and find a way out."

It should be... ha.

This is interesting. The rare object that was in the hands of Professor Green a few days ago suddenly came into your hands. Especially for the sake of confidentiality, this place is managed in a closed manner. All participants are not allowed to contact the outside world before the end of the mission. How did you get it? Where did it arrive?

If I hadn't encountered this thing once before, it would be impossible to detect it, but once I noticed this strange object, it became more and more suspicious.

Am I so lucky that I found the mole right away?

Thinking quickly in his mind, Lynch had already sat down next to Dr. Jenna, and Carl Jones also sat down next to Lynch with a smile. Suddenly, he took action like lightning and accurately grasped a flying bird. After passing the mosquito next to Lynch's ear, he turned over a wine glass and put the living mosquito into the glass. The whole movement was as smooth as instinct, and then he waved to the waiter:

"Tom, make a cup of hot heart for this beautiful lady, and express my apology to this lady for my recklessness just now. Oh, dear lady, under your beautiful face, you must also have a beautiful heart. You will not bear to see me tortured by guilt, and you will definitely accept my apology."

Do you want me to remove my disguise and show my beautiful heart? It's a blessing from my neighbors if I don't disgust you to death.

With malicious thoughts in his heart, Lin Qi was about to respond, but his heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong with what happened just now.

What's going on?

Every detail since entering flashed through his mind quickly, and suddenly realized a problem.

This set of smooth and flowing mosquito catching techniques has been seen before, and has been seen several times.

The group of idiots who sit in front of the bar and stare at lizards every day often do this, otherwise the gambling game can't be held. I'm afraid no one else would be so bored except them.

Except for people like Lynch who hang out with those idiots, I'm afraid no one would notice this kind of detail. It's because the gambling lizard's behavior is too bizarre that Lynch has a deep impression of it. Moreover, this behavior itself does not explain anything, but once he realizes the connection between the behaviors, the association will inevitably emerge.

You are the undercover sent by the Watcher, the kind that Officer Natalie doesn't know. Are you Watcher undercovers allowed to tease the mission targets? Tsk, did I suspect the wrong person just now? Dr. Jenna is innocent, and you are the insider?

Mr. Carl Jones didn't know what Lynch was thinking, and he still consciously moved closer and smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, what's your name? I haven't seen you before. Are you one of the mysterious people who have been locking themselves in the room?"

"Of course you can't find it by just staring at the eyes of the woman next to you. How can you see it if you don't look at it at all?"

The sudden voice made the four people present turn their heads in surprise. On the sofa next to the phonograph, a middle-aged man in a gray suit was sitting upright.

Dressed neatly, with neat hair and a serious face, a thick book was spread on his knees.

This person was not there just now. Lynch was wondering when he heard Carl asked in surprise: "Rooney, when did you come? I didn't notice you this time."

"Tom was muttering whether there was anything tonight, so why did he come when no one came. You didn't notice it because you didn't wear glasses or didn't wear them at all. As for this lady, considering that Walker just informed us that the most critical items have been obtained and the mission can officially begin, a new face appeared afterwards. Do we still need to guess her identity?"

Hiss, he is the ancient book broker Rooney. This man has a quick mind. Lynch felt a little more sense of crisis in his heart. It seems that he has to hide better, otherwise his identity may be exposed.

As for not discovering him, it is probably because he also has the power of concealment. After all, many soul-distracted people of the Fallen God have this power, which is not very special.

[Note that he carries the divine blessing on his body. This is a feature that only the soul-distracted people of the Lord God have, and only the Supreme can distinguish it. 】

Hmm? So he is not the Soul-Separating Soul of the Fallen God who does not want to reveal his identity as mentioned in the information? But the Soul-Separating Soul of the Lord God Church? Did he intentionally conceal his identity and sneak in here?

This is not a question of whether I am lucky or not. I have just come in for a short time and I have encountered three suspicious targets.

And there are only three suspicious targets because I only met three people, not just three.

Is the suspicion rate here 100%?

No, what's wrong with you? You can't say that everyone here is a traitor except me.

Mayor Howard, what the hell are these people you found, including me.

For a moment, Lin Qi felt that his language was so poor that he really had nothing to complain about.
