Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1016 Eighty-three. New residence

  Lu Li did not stay in the Giant Tree Academy for too long, nor did he return to the dormitory. Although he is still an academy student.

   The former vice-president Chris threw a set of keys to Lu Li: a house in the inner city given to him by the college.

   After dozens of minutes, an elevator slowly fell into the inner city camp in the middle of the night.

  The house of Deputy Dean Chris is not far from the academy camp, a three-storey house with white paint.

   It wasn't as long deserted as imagined - although only ashes remained in the fireplace, things like furniture were not covered in dust.

  The late night city is located underground, and the dust is heavy, usually a layer of dust will accumulate if the house is not cleaned for a few days.

   I don’t know if it’s the occasional cleaning or some kind of alchemy.

  Lu Li checked each room one after another, including a utility room where items were stacked, a study room full of books, an empty guest room, and a room for Chris' mother and daughter.

   Since there are no outsiders, their rooms are not locked.

   Vice President Chris's bedroom layout is similar to that of the office. The alchemy desk replaces the desk, and the entire wall is occupied by bookshelves. Claire's room was much simpler, with only a simple bed and a desk, not even a guest room.

  Loli finally chose a loft with west-facing windows.

   Like the hotel loft next to Fast Park, it has a wide view and is relatively secluded.

   Just dust and cobwebs everywhere.

  Whoa——

The    bucket filled with cool water was lifted up by the palm of his sleeves and ascended to the attic.

   Lu Li tied the apron found in the kitchen around his waist, poured some water on the floor, and the water droplets stained with dust danced.

  The mop was put into the bucket to get wet, and Lu Li cleaned up the attic where he would live for a while.

   Bucket after bucket of dirty black water was poured into the bathroom, and the floor gradually took on a true dark brown log color.

  Cleaned the floor, Lu Li opened the window to ventilate, took a rag to wipe the cloudy glass, then the bedside table, the fireplace surface and the roof.

   Dust-stained waste cobwebs hang from the sloping roof. Many of the cobwebs are now derelict, useless other than to set off the desolation of the attic.

   However, there are still some little guys living in the corners, not leaving because of Lu Li, and occupying the center of the spider web.

   Seeing that it had no intention of leaving, Lu Li avoided the spider and its cobweb.

   An hour later, Lu Li finished cleaning. Although the loft is not new, it is still enough to live in.

   Finally, he filled the basket with firewood and took it to the attic. Lu Li took off his apron and put it back into the kitchen.

   The time is still in the afternoon, and it is still some distance away from the approaching evening.

  Lu Li left temporarily, went to a restaurant a few hundred meters away to order dinner, and returned to the house.

   Finished eating quietly and alone in the restaurant, and Lu Li came to the study on the second floor.

   "Dear, what do you want to do next?"

   "Do nothing, read some books."

"read?"

   "Silver Cross Sloan made me do this."

   "Looks like they told you to participate in the March Tournament."

   "What does this have to do with the March Tournament."

   "The respected guys who are like your servants didn't tell you, then I should also keep it a secret from you."

   "Professor Hagrid has the same respect for me."

   "It's not the same... darling."

  Thinking away from the last dialogue, Lu Li picked up the first book on the shelf: "Alchemy Guide"

   Open it at will, the knowledge on it is only Level 1 Alchemy, and the old yellowed pages also indicate the years of its existence.

  Some naive notes are written at the end of each paragraph. I don't know if it was Claire's stupidity when she was studying alchemy, or it was left by the vice-principal Chris when she was young.

   Obviously, one of the benefits of living here is that there is no shortage of books.

  Although most of them are alchemy, the rest of the occult is enough to kill the time when the March Tournament arrives.

   As evening approached, Lu Li returned to the attic with the unfinished book, lighting the oil lamp and fireplace.

   In the core area, the light group at the top of the tower became dim and yellow. Street lamps take the place of the light group, illuminating the street outside the window.

  When night falls, there are fewer passers-by on the streets, but there are still many people who have not returned home, and shops have not been closed - "Never Sleeping City" is a tradition of the late night city and its predecessor Midnight City.

  Lu Li was sitting in front of the bustling window with occasional noisy conversations, and the warm fireplace made the sound of "crackling" wood burning from time to time, which ruined the atmosphere.

   At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Li went to bed a little later after a long absence. Close the windows to block the windows on the street, lie down on the bed in silence, digest the gifts left by the "Balance Master" after collecting the sacrifices before going to sleep.

   It was like some kind of indescribable truth that could only be vaguely sensed, containing a true understanding of balance, but it was distorted into narrow doctrines by the "Balance Church" for no apparent reason.

  Lu Li has no intention of balancing his beliefs and becoming a believer. However, this gift allowed Lu Li to deeply understand the truth and laws.

   Although it cannot bring the slightest power.

   Today's encounter with Lu Li is so thrilling, how peaceful it is to rest at night.

  In the early morning of a new day, Lu Li woke up from his sleep.

  Open the window, the cool morning air and the movement on the street wash away the lonely tranquility.

  Lu Li took out his eyeballs and went to the bathroom downstairs to wash. Merchant Anthony arrived shortly after, with news of the morning paper and the College of the Giant Tree.

  【The Academy has found a candidate to replace Spet Hagrid as the junior occult professor】

   The betrayal and death of a professor is so sad, but its impact did not completely disappear with the death. Those who have been in contact with Professor Hagrid are those who are favored by Professor Hagrid.

   Including the dog meat that Lu Li met.

   However, with the in-depth investigation of the gatekeeper, the news that came one after another was beneficial to Professor Hagrid, or the Academy.

  [Spetter Hagrid is smart...he doesn't preach, not one. He buried his beliefs and behaved like other professors, so we never find him owning a church]

   It's just that the wiser people have stupid egos. Specter Hagrid is a stark example of how pitiful he seems to have been forced to believe because of his tragedy, he then chooses to make that pitiful into hate, and ultimately dies of insatiable desire.

   Although he narrowly succeeded.

   covered the dying fireplace with ashes, Lu Li picked up the book he had finished last night and went to the study on the second floor, where he exchanged a book of geography.

   For the next few days, Lu Li maintained this calm between books and rest.

  Professor Hagrid's residence was checked and the luggage and flower pots were returned. Due to the lack of Lu Li's company, the tender shoots less than three centimeters tall curled up and withered, but over time it will come back to life.

   At noon on the fourth day, Lu Li entered the bedroom of Vice President Chris, and selected advanced knowledge books that were not in the study.

  Click——

  The sound of footsteps happened to sound downstairs, stepping up the stairs.

  Lu Li raised his black eyes and fell to the half-closed door. Instead of going to the corridor to check, he retreated to the window, pushed open the window, and quietly waited for the sound of footsteps gradually getting closer—

  The wooden door was suddenly pushed open.

"Land from?"

  Claire, whose body was taut in the corridor outside the door, showed consternation, and swept the room quietly, with a look of "Did I disturb something?": "You and mother have..."

   "I live here temporarily." Lu Li interrupted her.
