Chapter 288 The Ceremony Begins

Judy, I'm sorry. Cooperation is not free. You will temporarily bear the risk on me.

In fact, before setting off, Lynch had already realized that he was in endless trouble.

Unless he was willing to go against his own philosophy of life, throw away the gems and give up halfway, and stay out of it, he would face huge risks. If he was not careful, he would be annihilated.

Seven team members, seven undercovers, may represent more than ten different forces. It sounds funny, but in fact, this is the most terrifying thing.

They can't just come to join in the fun. They must have a purpose, and some of them want to destroy the ceremony.

If it's just a simple destruction of the ceremony, it's actually okay. At worst, everyone will start from the beginning and think of a way. However, once someone wants to kill a few people while making trouble, Lynch, the supervisor who clearly stands on Howard's side, will be the first target to be secretly attacked.

Among this group of people, except for Judy, the apostle of the evil god, who is stronger than others, Rooney Jack and Salin are both level three, and Carl and Dr. Jenna are both level four. As a level two person, I will suffer a loss if I face any of them head-on. What's more, I have shown an unfathomable personality before. Once the other party takes action, they will definitely use all their strength to sneak attack, and I will definitely die.

Lynch doesn't want to die in the hands of someone who should be his companion, but he can't reveal his identity, otherwise the real Howard's people will know and make a move behind his back, and he will definitely die.

In the mysterious world, there is really no such thing as simple. The only solution is to stay vigilant at all times and leave no chance for anyone.

So when Lynch realized that someone might start to make trouble, he immediately decided to take action. Use Judy, who is the strongest, to share his danger, and take the opportunity to find out the real goal of this person.

It would be better if I could get another ally. As for Miss Target, I will apologize to you with guilt.

I am such a good person.

The lights in the camp gradually went out, and only the lanterns in the patrol workers' hands were still shaking messy beams of light.

The surroundings fell into a dead silence, with only the roars of beasts and the chirping of insects coming faintly from the distant valley.

The extinction of insects and beasts is enough to explain the problem.

Lynch, who was in a lurking state, climbed onto the roof of his barracks, took out a monocular telescope, and peeked in the direction of the flash.

It was a small lake outside the camp. The terrain was open, and the lake reflected the moonlight. The visibility was pretty good.

It seemed that there was no one, only the mysterious crimson and the bright silver white, and the figures of the two sisters were reflected in the lake.

Let's go and take a look.

Having made up his mind, Lynch took out the cane of blood temptation and the revolver, thought about it and put the pistol back, turned his wrist and turned his palm upward, letting a skeleton surrounded by black air float out of his palm, and then pressed it directly into his chest.

The whole body trembled, as if struck by lightning, but immediately a force surged out of the body, making his whole body full of strength.

Taking advantage of the concealment of lurking, Lynch jumped lightly, and the effect of the cat's favor became stronger after the amplification, and he disappeared into the darkness like a puff of green smoke.

Leaping out of the camp from the back, he went around the fence to the side, and lurked all the way to the lake.

The deadly environment seemed to bring endless pressure, but with the cane in hand, Lynch still did not look back.

I am a second-level power, and I am already a mature soul-distracting person. I must learn to have the courage to face everything.

The lakeside was empty, and the lake water was as calm as an ancient well. Lynch frowned, silently recalled the direction where the glimmer appeared just now, and walked around the lakeside... Lynch took back the foot he had just stepped out.

There were plants on the ground, and Carl Jones's performance just now was vivid.

Simply choose the rocks by the lake, Lynch carefully went around the opposite side of the lake from the shade.

Stopping and just wanting to breathe a sigh of relief, Lynch suddenly had an idea in his heart, and immediately followed his instinct to take a step back and shrink into the shadow of the rocks by the lake.

The next moment, a ball of will-o'-the-wisp-like fluorescence floated over from the lake. Lynch immediately realized that this thing might be the flash he and Judy had just seen. The brightness was not high. He could see it at that time probably because it was dark outside and Judy just reminded him. Otherwise, he might have ignored it.

It seems that the silly girl is not silly.

But what is this thing? It looks like a larger firefly.

Lynch, dressed in black, held his breath and lurked in the shadows, using multiple guarantees to cover his existence. He even looked away and only observed the floating will-o'-the-wisp with his peripheral vision to avoid the pressure brought by his eyes.

Seeing the large firefly float to the river and suddenly explode, exploding thousands of weak fireflies, accompanied by a buzzing sound, the fireflies quickly gathered together and turned into a human shape.

The tall and thin figure was the unsociable liar Salin.

After transforming into a human form, Salin quickly turned around and passed by Lynch several times. Fortunately, with the triple cover, Lynch was not discovered by this guy who was stronger than him.

After confirming that there was no one around, Salin squatted by the lake, put his finger into the water and drew a circle. As his finger stirred, the water in the circle began to rotate and soon formed a whirlpool. Not long after, a familiar voice came out of the whirlpool.

"You are late, Salin."

Walker's voice.

"That's your fault. Don't tell me that the deaths of the six people who opened the door were not caused by you. Although I don't know who did it, it must be your people."

"No, it was done by Prince William's people. We don't know who it was. Do you have any guesses?"

"I doubt Selene very much. Her attitude is too ambiguous. And it's not easy to kill six door openers remotely. She should be able to do it with her strength."

"It can't be her. She showed up too late and it's very accidental. It should be one of the remaining five. You can continue to wait and see. It doesn't matter if you can't find her. Remember, once the door opener is in place, the ceremony is officially started. You must always be careful and don't get into trouble."

"Don't worry, it's very simple."

"That's good. Remember, in order not to delay the business of that Excellency, you must ensure that the ceremony goes smoothly. It's best to bring the mirror back in person. If you really can't do it, you are allowed to give up. When necessary, you can take the initiative to contact Ms. Selene. She is a servant of the Daughter of Swelling and has no problem with her position."

Thank you, you are also a good person.

It seems that the Excellency they are talking about is not the same person as Prince William.

Lynch was thinking in his mind, but saw that Salin had wiped out the whirlpool on the lake surface, and then in Lynch's weird eyes, he... drew another one.

"It's me, Salin."

"Is everything going well?"

The voice coming from the second whirlpool was more familiar, it was the voice of Archbishop Trinles of Dark Night.

"I have followed the target to the expected location."

"Very good, keep an eye on this ceremony, it should not succeed in the end, but if he fails, the thing really comes out, remember to get it at all costs, and don't let it fall into the hands of others."

"I will do it, remember to prepare my gold."

After a few simple perfunctory words, Salin wiped out the whirlpool again, but Lynch didn't watch his movements, his attention was attracted by another thing.

Something was squirming in the cracks of the stone. Looking carefully, it was a gray little mouse that got out of the cracks at some point.

Damn, Jack Adams, he also came to peek.

Fortunately, I arrived early, I was afraid I would be discovered if I arrived late.

Lin Qi felt horrified, but he immediately realized something else that made him even more horrified.

I don't know when it started, but large bubbles were bubbling in the center of the lake, as if the lake water had suddenly boiled.

The change in the lake water made Salin scream, and he stood up suddenly and took a few steps back.

However, before he left the lake, a large area of ​​pale and strange existence was rising from the dark bottom of the water, rushing up slowly but quickly, covering almost the entire lake.

Countless pale hollow spikes reflected strange light in the moonlight.

For some reason, Lin Qi suddenly remembered the words he had just heard.

The ceremony has begun.

Suddenly, all the spikes shrank rapidly, and then quickly popped out towards everything by the lake.
