Chapter 329 Prisoner of Time

After exchanging glances with Officer Natalie, the two followed the old housekeeper quietly into the mansion.

Being able to operate openly in the Rhine, believers of this evil god should be among the people who can still be contacted, so let's try it out.

The loyal old housekeeper suffered a broken skin, but the injury was not serious. He had been bandaged up at this time, and he respectfully led the way for the two of them. In his words, he was very grateful for their help.

"This is the mansion left by the master. After the master passes away, the young master and the young lady will take care of it."

The old housekeeper introduced the two of them as they walked. This mansion was at the level of ordinary wealthy people in the Rhine City. Even the garden could not be said to be big, let alone compared with the Riverside Manor or the Valente family. Even the orchid house when they first traveled through Not even the Doyle mansion.

But the care is very meticulous, the mansion is beautiful, the garden is full of flowers, and it feels like home.

But Lin Qi noticed something strange. In this mansion, the edges of most objects were curved, and the intersection of two objects was also curved. In other words, Lynch almost didn't look at it along the way. To the existence of corner.

What strange mysterious property is this?

Forget it, who doesn’t have some quirks? You can’t think that everything is related to mystery.

"Both the young master and the young lady are in poor health and need to rest in the room all year round. The young lady is slightly better and occasionally comes out to take care of the house. Please sit in the living room for a while. The young lady will be out soon."

With that said, he let the two of them into the living room and left directly to prepare tea.

The situation in the room is the same as outside. All the furnishings are specially made, and the shapes are twisted and weird, with arcs replacing the existence of corners.

This was probably beyond the scope of normal hobbies, but seeing that the old housekeeper and servants were normal, Lynch and Officer Natalie sat down.

"The followers of the Billions of Lords of Glory are quite friendly, they should be... okay."

Lynch played with the specially-made items on the table and felt that this mansion was full of secrets.

"You'd better not think that way, Lynch." The police officer kicked Lynch on the calf and said sternly, "Your exposure to this world is too short, and your understanding is not deep enough. You cannot use it against cultists. Consider common sense. No matter how normal they appear, these human beings who believe in evil gods may be extremely crazy thugs. This is the danger of cultists, not because of who they believe in, but because they meet a few normal people. The cultists used common sense to speculate on them, and those who did so paid a heavy price.”

"Thank you, I'll remember it."

"She's right. Cultists are more or less normal, including me. Daily contact with the old rulers will make us unconsciously accept forbidden knowledge that does not belong to humans, which will seriously damage our sanity and make us crazy. , It’s just that the degree of madness is different, I’m relatively mild.”

A young voice came from the door, soft, gentle, and feeble:

"And you have misunderstood one thing. We are not believers in the Lord of Billions of Lights. We are different from the librarians in the city. What they believe in is the Lord of Billions of Lights, Yog-Sothoth himself, the one who unites all things. The pursuit of endless wisdom and the truth of the world. And what our family believes in is a projection of the ancient eternal being Tawer Yat Umr, the one who unites all things. In short, these two people are essentially the same old ruler. They are actually different identities, so strictly speaking our beliefs are also different.”

"Like the relationship between the Swollen Daughter and the Haunting Chaos?" Lynch thought subconsciously.

"Well... to be precise, there is no similarity at all, but if you understand it this way, you will not be far from complete madness if you really understand it."

"But you look like you have it figured out."

"So I'm crazy, you just can't see it."

That makes sense.

Lin Qi suddenly felt a little fond of this cultist and looked carefully at the lady who was slowly walking out of the living room.

It was a pale lady.

White hair, white skin, and a black dress accentuate the paleness of her complexion.

His age was estimated to be in his twenties, he was thin and morbidly frail, and he was holding a black rabbit doll in his arms.

Her appearance is pretty, but her almost transparent skin makes her look particularly weird.

"My name is Skye, Skye Milt, and on behalf of my brother Speth Milt, I would like to greet the two outsiders.

It was a bit surprising. The two of them had imagined many times what the owner of the mansion who was targeted by the townspeople looked like. They didn't expect that she would be such a sickly young girl, as fragile as a porcelain doll that could break at the touch of a touch. .

What should we do now?

Lynch was a little hesitant. He originally wanted to get to know the family in the town first, but now that they unexpectedly met directly, he had not yet decided how to learn the information about Miracle Light.

The opponent's position is unclear and one cannot expose one's trump card too early.

"You don't have to worry about this, Lynch. I know why you are here. Your information is correct. The information about Miracle Light is in our hands."

How did she know? I haven't said it yet. Mind reading?

Lin Qi's body tensed and his eyes became cold.

"Are you sure you didn't say anything?" Ms. Skye blinked narrowly and said with a weak smile, "Maybe you didn't say anything just now, but at a certain point in the past, present, and future, are you sure you Didn’t you say that?”

Fuck, time.

Her clone with a string of names is probably the power of time, which is the most troublesome thing.

"You don't have to worry. The death of Howard you mentioned was because he inadvertently revealed a secret deep in time. But you don't have such worries, so it doesn't matter how you talk about it."

What did I say... forget it, I may have said it out of nowhere at some point in time, just be happy with it.

"He was hunted by the hounds wandering in time because he knew some seemingly insignificant underlying secrets, and the information he revealed might reveal the truth of time. As long as he didn't know that underlying secret, how could he It doesn’t really matter if we discuss it.”

"How did he know that secret? Is that something that an ordinary person can know?"

"You know the answer."

League of Shadows!

Lynch immediately thought of the answer. I am afraid that the League of Shadows mixed this fatal secret with other information and revealed it to Howard, and Howard violated the taboo without realizing it.

The other party probably used this as a means to kill him with my hands. The methods of these people are really... vicious and unpredictable.

"Okay, I do know." Lin Qi suddenly smiled bitterly, "But since you know so much, with your strength, the townspeople outside are not a problem at all, right? Are we in trouble?"

"Do you think I can massacre them? Unless I kill them all, there is nothing I can do against them." The white woman sighed and shook her head, "Don't think too highly of us, we are just two people imprisoned by time. They are just poor prisoners. Once they rush in and destroy this house, my brother and I will die soon. So there is no doubt that you did save my life and my brother's. This is one of the reasons why I am willing to trust you. Without you, this time would be really dangerous. I didn’t expect that people could become so crazy even without the influence of the Old Ones.”

Human nature is much scarier than evil gods.

Lin Qi sighed inwardly and asked cautiously: "Forgive me, I want to know why nothing has happened for so many years, but this time you suddenly refused to help? Is there any specific reason?"

"Oh, you want to help us solve this problem in exchange for news about the Miracle Light."

"..." Lin Qi felt blocked in his heart. He just felt that it was really embarrassing to talk to this woman. I didn't even know what he said before I said it. I wouldn't be so stupid at a certain point in time, leaking everything.

The woman's smile suddenly disappeared, and she said with a stern face: "But, I'm sorry, please forgive me for refusing, this deal is not valid."

Lynch frowned, held down the hand of the police officer next to him, blocked what she wanted to say, and asked in a deep voice: "Why?"

"Because this trouble itself is related to the light of miracle. You will know it after you solve my trouble. There is no need to trade with me."

"..."

Damn, I was teased.

Woman, if you talk like this, you will get beaten easily in my hometown, do you know? If I had spoken like this in my previous life, I would have been beaten to death eight hundred times.

"Okay." Lynch curled his lips and said with a straight face, "What about the answer to the question I just asked?"

"I will refuse them because there seems to be an invisible hand behind this rinderpest controlling everything. My brother and I suspect that their purpose is to force the light of miracles through the death of livestock, so we can only refuse to ask for help, but We really didn’t expect those townspeople to do such a thing.”

The police officer couldn't help but asked, "Didn't you see the result?"

The woman sighed faintly, shook her head and said, "You can't just look at everything, Natalie."

"Tell me what you think you can tell me now about the Miracle Light and this incident." Lynch did not hide it and said straightforwardly, "We will try our best to help you solve the troubles of those townspeople. ”

"Deal." Skye paused and said softly, "The light of miracle is actually a very strange thing..."
