Chapter 284 Let’s Get Started
As the sun sets, Lynch stands by the window, watching the busy scene outside. More than a dozen carriages are parked in the yard of the manor, and workers are moving materials and equipment up there one after another. It is very lively.
Today is the evening of June 19th. Two days have passed in a hurry, and the time to set off has finally arrived.
The night before yesterday, Lynch refused Walker's request without even thinking about it.
The world of the evil god is not a place where you can come and go as you please. Without full confidence, Lynch does not plan to go in again.
The reason is very reasonable. I am different from you. I can't go home in your way. I consume a lot of time going back and forth. Basically, I can't come out again after going back.
Lynch is not actually worried about being suspected because of this. He thinks that being tricky is another reason.
He didn't expect that when the incident started, it was Walker and Moliere on the other side who led the internal group into that world. This means that Walker will have to directly contact the evil god believers, which will obviously increase the risk of Lynch's identity being exposed. It all depends on whether the evil god believers inside will cooperate.
It was like leaving his fate to the other party, which made Lynch very reluctant and a little uneasy.
Fortunately, after Walker left on the 18th, he came back that night and brought back the gems, indicating that everything went well and they could set off on the evening of the 19th.
Lynch's identity was not mentioned at all. It seemed that the Swelling Daughter and her Swelling Girls did keep their promise and did not expose Lynch's background.
But it was so smooth that Lynch was a little uneasy.
Evil gods are not easy to talk to, especially this kind of psychopathic evil god. It is hard to say whether they are willing to cooperate is good or bad. Maybe they are brewing some conspiracy.
But now that things have come to this, there is no reason to retreat. Even if there is a conspiracy, it is worth a try. Anyway, the situation is not bad now. Everything has been on the right track according to Lynch's idea.
The next thing to do is to make the ceremony go smoothly. As long as the effect of the ceremony comes out and the mirror is not really transferred to the present world, it will be a success. The evidence is irrefutable. Mayor Howard and Walker, who are secretly doing things, will definitely not escape. And this long-term mission of Lynch since he crossed over has been completely completed.
Neighbors bless, I hope everything goes well and nothing unexpected happens.
But Lynch himself does not believe in this kind of prayer. Is it possible that everything goes well?
Howard and Walker are not fools. They must have a backup plan, just like the two powerful wills who spied when they arrived last night. One is Judy, and the other is still unknown. He has been lurking in the manor and is likely to be Howard's backup force.
"Dangdangdang." The knock on the door awakened Lynch who was in a trance. Carl Jones' voice came from outside the door, "Ms. Selene, how are you preparing? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'll be there soon."
By the way, there are six inner ghost teammates who each have their own secrets.
It has been so many days. If there is a leak, it would have been leaked long ago. Moreover, Howard is not afraid of leaks. He is afraid that the inner ghost will cause trouble after entering the ancient tomb. But now that Lynch, the representative of the evil god, is going in together, Howard no longer has to worry. Now the trouble is pushed to Lynch.
The most terrible thing is not knowing their true purpose.
For nearly two days, Lynch's investigation of them has not made much progress. Everyone is hiding very deeply, but on the surface, each one is more normal than the other. This makes Lynch have no idea where to start. He wants to ask directly, but it is probably useless to ask. He can only bear it for now and see their performance during the mission.
Anyway, as long as it does not affect the ceremony, Lynch does not care about other things.
Sighing, Lynch took out a thumb-sized glass bottle from his long skirt and shook it towards the light. A golden beetle inside waved its wings. Well, it seems to be alive.
Lover beetles, one of the standard rare and mysterious creatures, grow in pairs, live and die together, and can sense the direction of the other half no matter how far apart they are.
The other half is of course in the hands of Miss Diana and Officer Natalie. When the time comes, they will use this thing to find their location, that is, the ceremony site. Before that, everything can only rely on themselves.
It's time to get going.
After putting away the beetle, Lynch walked down the stairs holding a round fan. The other six people in the external group had already arrived in front of the convoy.
Based on Lynch's understanding of archaeology, after two days of familiarity, he had figured out that Howard had not brought in such a group of high-risk professions to raise Gu, but to organize a high-profile archaeological team, or a tomb-robbing team.
It seems that entering the tomb is the biggest difficulty, and the ritual is secondary, otherwise just find some people to perform the ritual.
The core of the team is archaeologist Dr. Jenna. This woman in her thirties is counting her equipment and is very professionally prepared. Lynch glanced at her and found four strange objects, which are very characteristic of the crazy people in the Archaeological Association.
[Ocean Currents in Dreams] [Eyes Peeping Through Walls] [Terrain Listener]
You can tell from the names that they are all archaeological props, but the other one...
[Rick's carbon paper, Rick's tool to convey his love to his lover thousands of miles away. He writes down his feelings, and the lover on the other end will know immediately. 】
Tsk, you are holding a rare item belonging to the Archaeological Association, and also carrying a spy item that is obviously used to transmit messages. Doctor, you are really not afraid of being exposed. I can't stand it.
Forget it, I'll just close my eyes.
Turning my head to the side, I saw the explorer Carl Jones who came upstairs to greet me just now.
The core of the archaeological team is archaeologists, but the commander is often an explorer. There are many crises in the ruins or ancient tombs, and their experience is often a signpost to survival. At this time, the handsome explorer Carl Jones was holding the hands of the two maids and saying goodbye. A large piece of roses suddenly bloomed under the feet of the two ladies, which surprised the two maids.
However, let’s not talk about whether it’s ugly to eat. Look at the grass under your feet that extends all the way to the river, and then look at your ability to control plants. Don’t you think that the so-called closed management is meaningless to you?
Or the cautious ancient book broker Rooney is more stable. He is responsible for avoiding and cracking the mysterious documents to ensure that the team will not be wiped out. He was looking down to check the pocket watch-style positioning instrument. The instrument cover is a mirror. When the sun shines, it reflects a beam of light pointing directly to the river, which seems to shake intentionally or unintentionally with the shaking of his wrist.
Alas, I can pretend that I didn't see the light bend, but can you not use sunlight to pass on the message? You make me suspect that you are the guy who colluded with the Church of the Sun. Be careful, I will put all the blame on you for the Valente family's house.
The bearded antiquity hunter is responsible for the defense of the relics and artifacts, and tries to offset the threats from the relics guarding artifacts. At this time, he is not busy preparing like others, but holding a cigar and a small piece of cheese in his hand. Twenty or so gray mice lined up in a row in front of the carriage, eating cheese one after another, which made Lynch sigh. He had roughly guessed why Judy said he could bring things back from outside. Lynch even suspected that the ocean current in Jenna's dream was brought in by his mice, so they pretended to have a grudge.
Judy, a philologist, is responsible for deciphering the text information in the tomb, except for the mysterious documents. As for the part-time scammer folklorist Salin, he is responsible for providing support for mystical knowledge and is also an indispensable part of the archaeological team.
It's just that this person, unless he disguises himself as someone else, rarely interacts with other people. Only when he becomes someone else, he can normally interact with the outside world with someone else's identity.
So in the past few days, Lynch has hardly communicated with this tall and thin liar. Instead, he can chat with Tom, the bartender, briefly. With such a weird personality, it is hard for Lynch to imagine that he is actually an informant of the Rangers. I just don't know how he plans to control the team.
So, at six o'clock in the afternoon, with a whistle, everyone boarded the carriage, and a large convoy of more than a dozen carriages left the lakeside manor in a mighty manner and continued to go north.
As the team set off, two ladies retracted their binoculars by the river in the distance.
Miss Valente and Officer Natalie looked at each other and nodded, and then hurriedly ran away in different directions.
In the farther city, the Scarecrow Club, the Archaeological Association, the Church of the Burning Sun, the Duke's Mansion... I don't know how many people's thoughts have drifted to the convoy.
