Chapter 397 An Old Man with No Manners

Fuck, these guys who play with time are all monsters.

We were just thinking, we just thought about it, how did he find out?

Could this also be sensed?

He was screaming madly in his heart, but on the surface, Lin Qi's face was calm, like a lake without waves.

Even if he was panicking in his heart, he had to be as calm as an old dog on the surface. This is what is called a heart with thunder and a face as calm as a lake.

Therefore, Lin Qi calmly looked at the crazy old man from a distance, and also smiled in return, and his smile was weirder than that of the old madman.

It was as calm as the gaze between a high mountain and a deep pool.

It's better to lose the battle than the battle, and I didn't lose.

I now represent the majesty of the Red Moon, how can I be scared by you?

A familiar chuckle came from his mind. Listening to this string of gentle laughter, a slender but hazy figure seemed to emerge from the depths of Lin Qi's consciousness, staring at him with a smiling look.

Lin Qi suddenly blushed a little, imaginary.

He still remembered how cowardly he had behaved during the time when he had just crossed over.

Although he had already embarked on the road to immortality, he did not have the mentality of challenging the Supreme Being, and he did not even have the mentality of a Soul-Diver. He was always afraid and needed his neighbor to coax him. He was completely a timid ordinary person.

But now it's better. Now... uh, actually I'm still a little cowardly, but at least a little less.

[Hehe...]

'What are you laughing at? I know my problem,' Lin Qi felt that his face in the real world began to blush, 'watching my neighbor make a fool of himself, and you didn't even remind me. '

[I was just looking at the scenery, it was beautiful. ] The gentle laughter seemed quite brisk, like an invisible hand, gently patting Lin Qi's heart, and there was a very comfortable feeling, [In fact, the change of mentality is the first step on the road to immortality. I brought the road ahead for selfish purposes. Although it was also a helpless move, it was actually very troublesome and not good for you. Fortunately, you used your agility and persistence to find the right path yourself and showed me the nobility of mortals. Well done, neighbor. ]

‘Tsk, praising me can’t cover up your bad behavior of watching the fun. ’

Lynch realized that he was really going to drift, and immediately cut off the communication with his neighbor, ignored the gentle and soothing laughter chasing behind him, and resumed the calm look with the old madman.

It was only a moment, but when Lynch woke up, he suddenly realized that the farmers who were originally close to him had dispersed with fear on their faces, leaving a man and three women in the center.

What's going on?

"He smiled at you..." This is Judy's translation.

This old guy is really uncultured. Why does he curse people when he meets?

Since they have seen each other's cards, there is nothing to pretend. Although it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the friend, Lynch judges that the probability of being relatively friendly is higher. It is better to talk about it face to face, which is worse than being suspicious of each other and finally being benefited by the enemy.

Having made up his mind, Lynch took a deep breath and walked towards the grain pile.

However, just after taking two steps, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the distance. Looking back, two soldiers were running over in a hurry, and their target was obviously the four people.

"Hahahaha, the disaster has already set its sights on you. It's useless for you to hide in that room. Prepare to welcome the arrival of the disaster, outsiders. The disaster will come to you tonight with the rise of the silver moon, hahaha..."

This old man really deserves a beating. I shouldn't have stopped that man from hitting him just now.

Lin Qi pouted, but before he could say anything, two soldiers had already hurried to his side.

The armed knight and Dr. Swen wanted to ask the four people to return to the fortress.

It was already past nine o'clock. Calculating the time, if everything went well in the fortress, it should indeed be over. Lin Qi glanced back at the crazy old man on the grain pile, secretly made a thumbs-down gesture, and turned around and left with the two soldiers.

"What he said... is it okay?" Miss Diana asked uneasily, "Looking at the performance of others, some of his words are very accurate."

"Don't worry, what he said is all bullshit, don't pay attention to it, just grasp the key points and understand it. This is what a monkey taught me." Lynch curled his lips and said angrily, "Those curses translate to mean, I found you, get ready to contact me, I will come to you when the silver moon rises tonight, don't hide in other people's houses, come out to see me, I don't want to be seen by Dr. Swen. Well, that's about it."

"A monkey?" Officer Natalie looked puzzled beside her.

"Uh, maybe it should be said, a smart monkey?"

"I see, you must be hinting that mortals are as powerless as monkeys in the face of things related to evil gods."

No, that monkey, more than 20 evil gods together, may not be able to beat him. But Lynch was not interested in rewriting the x travel notes, so he could only sigh.

The two soldiers didn't seem to know what happened in the fortress, and they led the way with their usual expressions.

Of course, Lynch would not let the two go. He kept harassing the two poor soldiers through Judy, confirming that a physical examination had indeed been conducted in the fortress just now. It was said that someone had been infected with a disease in the past few days. Ms. Swain was worried that other people would be infected, so she conducted a unified examination on the 56 people who had been to the barracks today.

Judging from the reactions of the two, the examination should have gone smoothly and the results were relatively optimistic. Lynch was slightly relieved.

Once this dangerous plague spreads, it will spread at an exponential rate. The small town of 8,000 people may be completely destroyed in less than two days, and he does not intend to let this happen.

His mission is to destroy this ritual that turns the entire city into ghouls, and it is up to him to figure out what the ritual is. Regardless of whether the spread was part of the ritual or not, he had to stop it, otherwise once it spread to the entire city, the mission would automatically fail.

Dr. Swain and the armed knight are capable of quietly controlling the situation, but... there are only fifty-six of them? This is too little.

After careful questioning, I found out that there were only fifty real professional soldiers in the small town, led by three armed knights, and one hundred servants and logistics personnel. This was the entire military strength of Novlan. Excluding some soldiers who were on rotation and one soldier who was granted temporary leave, there were a total of fifty-six people who had been to the fortress in the past two days. This made Lynch have to sigh. No wonder hundreds of ghouls could massacre the entire city. , Professional soldiers in ancient times were too scarce.

"But why are there still temporary vacations?"

Lynch was a little curious. Ordinarily, at this time, even if the soldiers on rotation were not mobilized, someone should not be allowed to take leave.

The soldier said with great reverence: "It was Leonard. He was the one who fought the ghoul to the death and rescued Kemet. The commander allowed him to rest for three days."

"Then his examination..."

"Ms. Swain checked Kemit yesterday when she treated him. He was not injured."

"That's good."

Lin Qi nodded with confidence and followed the soldiers closely. However, after taking only two steps, he suddenly stopped and froze in place.

"Wait, he just said that Leonard fought the ghoul and rescued Kemet?"

"Yes."

At this moment, Lin Qi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and finally realized why he had always felt something was wrong.

No one had ever seen a ghoul kill someone before, so everything was just speculation based on traces.

What everyone saw was just the body, not the murder process.

This is very subtle.
