"Oh~~"
Seemingly understanding, Lin En lengthened his voice, attracting unfriendly looks from the people around him.
Of course, Linn was not a normal person and would not have a normal reaction. He immediately put his hand into his arms, preparing to take out something in response.
However, his hand was directly held down by Ms. Diana.
Even if Linn doesn't pay attention or actively pay attention to him, Ms. Diana still knows something about Linn.
He might actually pull out a bomb or something and send everyone in this place to the sky.
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: "This is still a symbol and memorial place of human civilization, at least...
Give Clark some credit for not destroying the best art gallery in the Met all at once. "
After saying that, Diana let go of Linn's hand, and Linn nodded, took out a lollipop from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth: "Okay."
After Linn was comforted, Diana also breathed a sigh of relief. This is the disadvantage of working with Lin En. This person is very difficult to "control", whether it is the enemy or one's own side.
"By the way, where's that...cat you raised?"
Diana stood up: "I quite want to see her."
Judging from the way she moves her wrists, she probably doesn't want to meet, but wants to make gestures.
Lin En even found it funny and pointed to the paintings on the nearby wall: "You're not kidding, are you? This? Let her in?"
You probably don’t know what it means to be an art thief who knocks out all the guards overnight, violently dismantles various security devices, and scratches the ground.
Frankly speaking, the value of America's various works of art has generally increased, and the little cat is partly responsible.
Because she is an art thief with a hoarding habit who would steal an entire museum just for fun. She is a super-powerful art thief.
Those people couldn't draw as fast as she could steal.
"Wow. I think I know what that means."
Diana smiled herself, then shook her head and walked into the corridor.
"I'm going to change my clothes first. See you in the evening."
"Hey! You haven't said anything yet."
The lingering fragrance curled up, and Diana had already walked into the crowd and disappeared.
……………………
At night.
Lin En was squatting in a small alley at the back door of the art exhibition hall, playing with several precious gems and bouncing them in the hole dug in the ground.
These things were provided by the little cat as a "warehouse rental" fee for using Lynn's space bag to store various things.
Snapped.
The glass-bead-like gem that Lin flicked out successfully hit another one, which showed that while his skill at playing marbles was still the same as before, he also successfully lost 7,000 yuan.
Although the speed of making money is not as good as Bruce's, his prodigal level is approaching the opponent's level in a straight line.
"Meow~!"
Although it was already a gift, the kitten still felt distressed when he saw it. After letting out a shrill meow, it raised its paws and raised its mouth again, making Linn look angry.
"Okay, okay, okay, stop making trouble, it's just a few broken stones.
Glass beads are not easy to use, they won’t break. Give me two hundred pieces, and I'll fold a pia for you... I told you to stop scratching, your hair will be messed up! "
"It seems like... I came at the wrong time?"
Under the moonlight, Diana didn't know when she had arrived, jumped down from the roof or somewhere, and landed lightly on the ground.
"No. You came just in time."
With a head like a chicken coop, Lin stood up with a serious look on his face. He stretched out his hands to separate the hair on his face that was covering his eyes. He picked up the little kitten that jumped out to scratch people and put it back on his shoulders. .
Diana is no longer as elegant as she was during the day...but she is really quite elegant. After all, beautiful people look good in sacks, but she is now in military uniform, with sword and shield, armor skirt and wrist guards. It shone with metallic light, and there was a hairband on the forehead. Linn remembered that it seemed to be able to be used as a dart.
"Kitten, your name is Schrödinger, right?"
Diana looked at the little kitten squatting on Linn's shoulders, with its long tail wrapped around its feet, staring up, with an inexplicably arrogant face, and raised her eyebrows: "This name really doesn't sound very nice."
"Meow!!"
Instantly fried.
The little cat jumped out again: "Say it again! I'll let you know how powerful I am...Lynn!"
Lin En once again had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stretched out his hand in time to support the kitten's flying body and put it back on his shoulder.
"Diana, let me tell you the truth, I don't care what you think, but if we really fight, this place will definitely be gone."
Linn stretched out his hand and drew a circle: "I won't help, that's it."
"What if you got involved too."
Lin En exaggeratedly drew a larger circle: "That's it."
Shrugging and spreading her hands, Diana said: You win.
Then the kitten immediately became proud, its tail swayed and it raised its chin again.
"Stop talking about that."
Lin En looked around: "You called me here before, didn't you say you had some... problem and you wanted me to help you with it?"
Speaking of this, Diana stopped joking and said seriously: "That's true. Come with me and we'll talk as we walk."
…
"About a year ago, when I was traveling in Greece, I happened to meet a local archaeological team who needed a translator and was looking for a tour guide, so I stopped by to take a guest tour as a tour guide.
There was nothing strange about the project itself, it was just routine archeology. At the time, I didn't see anything wrong.
but……"
As long as it goes too far, something is wrong.
“About two months after I parted ways with the archaeological team, I accidentally saw a piece of news with a very exaggerated title in a local newspaper.
After a certain paleontology expert killed his wife and children with the ancient cultural relics he studied, he blinded himself with that object, and then hung himself from the beam. "
Diana paused and continued: "The key problem is that it was a series of reports.
That paleontology expert was the archaeological team that I participated in as a temporary guide.
And the remaining deceased who were also reported in the series..."
"Are they all from the archaeological team you know?"
Lin En rubbed her chin: "This sounds very much like a classic mysterious case in street stall literature."
As he said that, Lin En himself laughed: "Whether it's a curse or a silence, it doesn't matter. Since that archaeological team was completely wiped out and something came to find it, then you are also one of them." Ah, why doesn’t it have the guts to come to you?”
"Who says no."
Diana smiled and turned to look at Linn: "That thing did come to me too."
"ah?"
Lin En was a little speechless. He took the initiative to find a demigod. It was not a problem for a demigod who was good at martial arts.
This is really not too short-lived.
"You let it run away later?"
If this matter had been resolved with Diana, it probably wouldn't have happened today.
"I solved it, but not completely."
…………
Time goes back to one day a year ago.
After a day of working at the Institute of Ancient Architecture, Diana returned to her home.
Although she is a demigod who hides in the human 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. She is spread all over the world. Many cities have different identities and occupations, ages, names...
Being able to live in human society for a hundred years, Diana is still very talented in this area.
Therefore, no security measures were taken at all. Diana's residence was just that of an ordinary person, and the rent was very cheap.
As usual, after returning home, she changed into light clothes. Diana sat in front of the TV, watching TV shows, listening to music, and eating some snacks like a normal and ordinary human woman. However, she Although my eyes are fixed on the screen now, my attention is not on the plot at all.
She was still more concerned about the archaeological team.
At first, she considered that the members of the archaeological team had other special identities, helped a special organization or institution, and performed some secret work, so they came into contact with strange things and were silenced.
But this doesn't make sense.
For things like silencing, either the person will not be seen alive or dead, and the person will simply disappear from the world. Or try to pretend to be normal, make it an accident, or a sudden illness or something like that. How could he be so open-minded and deliberately commit such a bizarre 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 wealthy people. Each of them has a complete work resume, or they are professionals who study ancient history, ancient writing, and paleontology. , or they are engaged in archaeological work themselves, just like the configuration of an ordinary archaeological team, there is no problem at all.
"If you put it this way..."
Diana is a demigod herself, so of course she also knows that most urban legends such as supernatural beings and curses are not credible. It's basically not about resentful spirits, but about some strange magicians, evil creatures, gods and other things left over from ancient times.
Originally this matter was related to her, but 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 "customs" of human society. When solving a case, one must respect the dignity of the parties concerned, when one must ensure that oneself cannot break the law, and when someone's death is the most important thing...
Making sure that thing doesn't continue to harm living people is the only thing she has to consider.
So, Diana decided at that time to break into the funeral parlor and morgue tonight to see if the corpses would leave any clues, and then go to the crime scene to see if there was anything like divine power left behind. , and finally returned to the ruins she had visited with the archaeological team, and searched the place carefully.
Do it now!
Just as she said, Diana stood up and prepared to put on her equipment and set off 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 anything, and Diana continued walking in the room.
Suddenly, a huge spike with multiple ring-shaped joints stabbed down from behind her, piercing straight into the back of her head.
At the critical moment, Diana, who had been prepared for a long time, turned sideways, pulled out an antique sword from her collection from the table, shouted, suppressed it with her arm, and slashed hard at the spike.
Ding~
The sound of gold and iron echoed, and the sword broke into two halves after cutting into half of the spike.
Although it is just an ordinary iron weapon, it depends on who is using it. Diana is a demigod. In theory, she can cut off the iron weapons in other people's hands even with a wooden sword.
Without panicking, Diana frowned slightly and stared at the ceiling. Seeing the right moment, she threw out half of the dagger in her hand.
Amidst the shrill screams, black and green blood flowed out from the "air" where the short knife struck. Along with an uncomfortable scratching sound, a... monster appeared on the ceiling.
She has a beautiful upper body and looks like a goddess, but her face is a bit more ferocious.
The part below the navel looks like a huge, shiny metallic spider.
The multi-jointed spike that attacked 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 huge as two or three adults. If it were a normal person, if he saw such a thing hanging on the ceiling above his head, he would definitely have rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.
But Diana was completely unaffected, and fear could not 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 me is a god.
At least, once was a god.
………………
"What happened next? Just finish what you said!"
After Diana finished speaking, she fell silent as if she suddenly remembered something.
This made Lin En very anxious: "What happened next, did it kill you or eat you?
Look what I'm doing, and you're talking! "
"Later...if I remember correctly, I should have killed it."
This was the first time for Diana to cooperate with Lynn's performance art, so she was a little unfamiliar.
"I originally thought that the problem should have been solved, but...then I encountered similar attacks. The things that attacked me all had the characteristics of gods, but they were not completely like gods."
With that said, Diana looked at Lynn: "When I first met you, I thought you might be the same... I'm sorry, I'm not saying you are a monster."
Lin En shrugged: "Everyone says so~"
"Later I went to investigate and found out that what they were digging was an ancient tribe that worshiped animals. Those ancestors worshiped various powerful creatures in nature.
For example, poisonous snakes, spiders, crocodiles in the water, and animals such as lions and cheetahs.
Those who attack me are always things with animal qualities.
And according to my investigation..."
"Those animals, more than one or two?"
"no."
Diana shook her head: "It's the tribes of those ancestors, more than one or two."
Raising her head, Diana looked at Linn sternly and said seriously: "We may have to face a major explosion of gods."
