Chapter 233

"Oh~~"

Half understanding, Lin En dragged his voice, attracting unfriendly looks from the people around him.

Of course Lynn is not a normal person, and he will not have a normal reaction. He immediately stretched his hand into his arms, as if preparing to take out something to respond.

However, his hand was directly held down by Ms. Diana.

Lin En, no matter how inattentive he is, and if he doesn't take the initiative to pay attention to him, Ms. Diana still knows something about Lin En.

He might actually just pull out a bomb or something and send everyone in this place to heaven.

Anyway, he himself would not be killed.

Diana had no doubt that Lynn would really do such a thing.

"Lynn, please don't do this."

Diana smiled and shook her head: "For the time being, this place is a symbol and commemoration of human civilization, at least...

Do Clark a favor by not destroying the Met's best art gallery all at once. "

After finishing speaking, Diana let go of Lynn's hand, and Lynn nodded, and took out a lollipop from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth: "Okay."

After reassuring Lynn, Diana also breathed a sigh of relief.This is the disadvantage of working with Lynn. This person is very difficult to "control", whether it is against the enemy or against himself.

"By the way, where's your... cat."

Diana stood up: "I kind of want to see her."

Judging by the posture of her wrist movement, it is estimated that she does not want to meet, but wants to make gestures.

Lynn himself found it funny, and pointed to the paintings on the nearby walls: "You're not kidding, are you. This? Let her in?"

I’m afraid you don’t know what it means to knock out all the guards overnight, violently dismantle all kinds of security devices, and scrape the ground for an art thief.

Frankly speaking, the value of various artworks of America has generally risen, and the kitten is somewhat responsible.

Because she is a hoarder who will steal an entire museum for fun, and is a super-combat art thief.

Those people didn't steal as fast as she did.

"Wow. I think I know what I mean."

Diana smiled herself, then shook her head and walked into the corridor.

"I'm going to change clothes first, see you in the evening."

"Hey! You haven't said anything yet."

The lingering fragrance lingered, and Diana had already walked into the crowd and disappeared.

..............................

into the night.

Lin En was squatting in a small alley at the back door of the art exhibition hall, drumming a few precious gemstones, bouncing back and forth in the pits dug on the ground.

These things are offered by the kitty as a "warehouse rental" fee for using Lynn's space bag to store various things.

Snapped.

The glass bead-like gemstone that Lynn popped out successfully hit another one, which showed that his skill at marbles remained the same as before, and at the same time, he also successfully lost 7000 yuan.

Although the speed of making money is not as fast as Bruce's, his prodigal level is approaching the opponent in a straight line.

"Meow~!"

Although it was already after the offering, the little cat still felt distressed. After making a shrill cat meow, it pawed and mouthed again, making Lin En's face ugly.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't make trouble, isn't it just a few broken stones.

Before the glass beads are easy to use, they won't break.Give me two [-] sheets, and I'll make a pia for you... Don't scratch it, your hair is messed up! "

"I seem...to come at the wrong time?"

Under the moonlight, Diana did not know when she had arrived, she jumped down from the roof or somewhere, and landed lightly on the ground.

"No. You came just in time."

Lin En stood up with a head like a chicken coop, with a serious face, stretched out his hand to part the hair covering his face, grabbed the kitten that jumped out to scratch people, and put it back on his shoulder .

Diana is no more elegant than she was in the daytime at this time... she is really quite elegant, after all, a beautiful person looks good in a sack, but she is now in a military uniform, with a sword and shield, armor skirt and wrist guards. It shone with metallic light, and there was a headband on his forehead. Lynn remembered that it seemed to be able to be used as a dart.

"Little cat, your name is Schrödinger, right?"

Diana looked at the kitten squatting on Lin En's shoulders, with its long tail wrapping around its feet, staring up, with an inexplicably proud face, and raised its eyebrows: "This name really doesn't sound very nice."

"Meow!!"

Instant hair.

The little cat jumped out again: "Say it again! I'll let you know my seriousness... Lynn!"

Lin En once again had quick eyes and quick hands, and reached out in time to support the flying body of the kitten, and put it back on his shoulders.

"Diana, let me tell you the truth, I don't care what you think, but if there is a real fight, this place will definitely disappear."

Lynn reached out and drew a circle: "I don't help, that's it."

"Then if you join in."

Lynn exaggeratedly drew a bigger circle: "That's it."

Shrugging and spreading her hands, Diana said: You win.

So the little cat immediately became proud, and raised its chin again with a flick of its tail.

"Let's not talk about that."

Lynn looked around: "You called me over before, didn't you say that there is something... Do you want me to help with any problems?"

Speaking of this, Diana stopped joking, and said sternly: "It is true. Come with me, and talk as you walk."

……

"About more than a year ago, when I was visiting Greece, I happened to meet a local archaeological team that needed a translator looking for a tour guide, so I went to take the position of a tour guide by the way.

There was nothing strange about the project itself, it was just routine archaeology.At the time, I didn't see anything wrong.

but……"

As long as it is said that it cannot be done, it is not in the right place.

"After I parted ways with the archaeological team, about two months later, I happened to read a piece of news with an exaggerated headline in a local newspaper.

A certain paleontology expert used the ancient cultural relics he studied to kill his wife and children, then poked himself blind with that thing, and then hanged himself on the beam of the house. "

Diana paused, then continued: "The key issue is that it is a series of reports.

That paleontological expert was the archaeological team that I worked as a temporary guide that time.

And the rest of the dead who were also reported in the series..."

"They are all from the archaeological team you know?"

Lin En rubbed his chin: "This sounds a lot like a classic mysterious case in street stall literature."

As he said that, Lynn himself laughed: "It doesn't matter whether it's cursing or silencing, since the archaeological team was wiped out and something came to the door, then you are also one of them." Ah, why doesn't it have the guts to find you."

"Who said no."

Diana smiled and turned to look at Lynn: "That thing did come to me too."

"what?"

Lin En was a little speechless, and took the initiative to come to find a demigod, or a demigod who is good at force, but it's okay to trouble.

This is really not too short ah.

"Then you let it go?"

If this matter had been resolved with Diana, it would probably not be the case today.

"I solved it, but not completely."

…………

Time goes back to a certain day a year ago.

After a day of work at the Institute of Ancient Architecture, Diana returned to her home.

Although she is a demigod who hides in the world and has never taken the initiative to hide her face, Diana does not have a fixed city where she lives. She has many jobs and a wide range of professional knowledge. Many cities have different identities and different occupations, ages, names...

Being able to live in human society for 100 years, Diana is still very talented in this regard.

Therefore, no security measures were taken at all, Diana's residence was the residence of an ordinary person, and the rent was very cheap.

As usual, after returning home, she changed into light clothes, and Diana sat in front of the TV, watching dramas, listening to songs, and eating snacks like a normal and ordinary human woman. However, she Although the eyes are fixed on the screen now, but the attention is not on the plot at all.

She still cares more about the archaeological team.

At the beginning, she considered that the members of the archaeological team had other special identities, helped a special organization or institution to do things, and carried out some secret work, so they came into contact with strange things and were silenced.

But it doesn't make sense.

Such things as silence, either live without seeing the dead or dead, or disappear directly from the world.Either try to pretend to be normal, to cause some accident, or sudden illness.How could he be so open and close, deliberately make such an incredible case, as if he was afraid that others would not be interested.

Furthermore, Diana also investigated the background information of some members of the archaeological team. They are all people with a fortune. Everyone has a complete work history to check, or is a professional who studies ancient history, ancient characters, and paleontology. , or they were born in archaeological work, just like the configuration of ordinary archaeological teams, there is no problem at all.

"In this way..."

Diana is a demigod herself, so of course she also knows that urban legends such as supernatural beings are mostly unbelievable, things like curses.It is basically not about wraiths, but about some strange magicians, evil creatures left over from ancient times, gods and the like.

Originally, this matter was related to her, so if this happened, she would have to take care of it even more.

As a demigod, Diana has absolutely no need to abide by certain customary "customs" in human society. When solving a case, you must respect the dignity of the parties involved. When solving a case, you must ensure that you cannot break the law. What is the most important thing is death...

The only thing she has to consider is to ensure that that thing does not continue to harm the living.

So, Diana decided at that time to break into the funeral parlor and morgue tonight to see if there would be any clues left by the corpses, and then go to the scene of the crime to see if there were any magical powers left behind. , and finally go back to the ruins that she went to see with those archaeological teams, and search that place carefully.

Do it now!

Just doing what she said, Diana got up straight away, ready to put on her equipment and leave immediately.

However, when she stood up and took a few steps, the TV behind her made a strange noise.

There was no response, as if she hadn't heard, Diana continued to walk in the room.

Suddenly, a huge spike with multiple ring joints pierced from behind her, piercing straight to the back of her head.

At the critical moment, Diana, who had been prepared for a long time, turned sideways, pulled out a certain antique sword she had collected from the table, shouted loudly, suppressed it with her backhand, and slashed at the sharp thorn vigorously.

Hey~

The sound of gold and iron mingled, and the saber broke in half after cutting into half of the spike.

Although it is just an ordinary iron object, it has to be divided into whoever uses it. Diana is a demigod. In theory, she can cut off iron objects in other people's hands even with a wooden sword.

Not flustered, Diana frowned slightly, staring at the ceiling, seeing the timing, and threw out the half dagger in her hand.

Amidst the shrill screams, black and green blood flowed from the "air" pierced by the short knife, accompanied by an uncomfortable blunt scratching sound, a... monster appeared on the ceiling.

With a beautiful upper body, she looks like a goddess, but her face is a little more ferocious.

As for the part below the navel, it looked like a huge spider shining with a metallic color.

The multi-linked spike that struck Diana just now was one of the monster's legs.

At this time, the broken knife was inserted into the soft abdomen of the spider monster.

The size of the monster may be as large as two or three adults. If you were a normal person, seeing such a thing hanging on the ceiling above your head, you must have rolled your eyes and lost consciousness.

But Diana is completely unaffected, and fear cannot be an obstacle to stop her.

"god?!"

Diana was keenly aware of the fluctuations in divine power.

The huge, ugly and ferocious monster in front of him is a god.

At least, once was a deity.

………………

"What happened later? Finish your sentence!"

Diana fell silent immediately after speaking halfway, as if she suddenly remembered something.

This made Lin En very anxious: "Then what happened later, did it kill you or eat you?

Look what I'm doing, talk! "

"Later... if I remember correctly. I should have killed it."

It was the first time for Diana to cooperate with Lynn's performance art, and she was a little unfamiliar.

"I originally thought that the problem should have been solved, but... Later, I encountered a similar attack. The things that attacked me all had the characteristics of gods, and they were not exactly like gods."

Saying that, Diana looked at Lynn: "When I first met you, I thought you might be too...Sorry, I'm not saying you're a monster."

Lynn shrugged: "Everyone says so~"

"Later I went to investigate, and it turned out that what they excavated was an ancient tribe that worshiped animals, and those ancestors worshiped all kinds of powerful creatures in nature.

Such as poisonous snakes, spiders, crocodiles in the water, and animals such as lions and cheetahs.

The things that attacked me were all animal-like things.

And according to my research..."

"Those animals, more than one or two?"

"No."

Diana shook her head: "It's the tribes of those ancestors, not just one or two."

Raising her head, Diana looked at Lynn seriously, and said seriously: "We may have to face a big outbreak of the gods."
