Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1043 One hundred and ten. The sixth time

  【I am here, the number of times is related to death, each time you die, you will lose your previous memory, including your own memory, and deepen the connection (doubtful). There are enemies]

  Lu Li quietly watched the dim yellow light of the oil lamp illuminating the same words as his own handwriting, and then stopped abruptly.

  Three slips of paper lay on the surface of the dining table covered with dust and shoe prints.

  Confirmed that it was not a trap, Lu Li approached the table, his black eyes stopped at the messy and familiar shoe prints on the table, and he picked up three pieces of paper.

  The text of the first note is indecipherable and incomprehensible, the second and third are his notes, his tone of voice.

   Connected the third and fourth notes with the folded notes in the palm of the hand, and vaguely pieced together the truth: this is a filthy sewer, one of the forbidden places. Death doesn't really die, but every time you die you forget your memories—including the original ones.

   This is not good news, because people will not realize what they are missing, including Lu Li himself.

  The Land of Light, Anne, Andrea...

   Important memories are still in the mind, but have equally important memories been lost?

  The traces of the house, the footprints on the ceiling and the floor support the authenticity of the note, but Lu Li still followed the footprints and went to the second floor and the window to confirm the clues.

   After a few minutes, Lu Li returned to the living room.

  The last summoned businessman, Anthony, confirmed that this was the fifth time Lu Li had summoned it.

   Four notes are now on the dining table. Assuming these were true, Lu Li reasoned about his previous situation: because death would deepen the connection with the filthy sewer, the two previous self appeared on the ceiling as an outsider, leaving behind unrecognizable notes. After two "deaths", the third time that deepened the connection was no longer upside down, leaving a second recognizable note.

   Then Lu Li appeared for the fourth time, leaving a third note and following his last footprint.

   also left the last note in his palm for Lu Li.

   may be close to the truth, but there are still doubts——

   For example, why did you die the first two times: Know the truth? Or in danger?

  Lu Li remembered the last hint "enemy". In any case, the house with the wooden sign that killed Lu Li twice was not suitable for approaching, and the house below it was no longer safe.

   Leaving four notes, Lu Li left this place that would appear after every death, and approached the adjacent house with the upstairs windows open.

  Squeak-

   The sound of the door opening disturbed the quietness of the house, the oil lamp was dimmed into the living room, and the dark shadow on the stairs disappeared.

  簌簌——

   Ceiling gap, dust spilled.

   Holding up the oil lamp, Lu Li stepped into the dark living room, picked up the appetizer with his long fingers, took the protective potion and the manifesting potion, and stepped onto the wooden stairs.

  The transparent silk thread is pulled up on the handrail and triggered when Lu Li passes by.

  Dang chirp——dang chirp——

  Empty jars fall, and empty houses roll down the stairs with echoes.

  Black eyes left the empty jar that rolled to the first floor, Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at the corridor on the stairs.

   There was also a scream of terror from the depths.

   "I know you are there! We are not enemies, this is a competition, a top ten competition, we are all players! Giant Tree Academy... Knights... Church... This is not in the wilderness. Killing is meaningless!"

   "Do you know what's going on?" Lu Li said at this moment.

   And the shouts from the depths of the corridor continued.

   "I know you are there! We are not enemies, this is a competition, a top ten competition, we are all players! Giant Tree Academy... Knights... Church... This is not in the wilderness. Killing is meaningless!"

   The voice repeated the same sentence.

   shouting to himself, Lu Li continued to move up and touched the second empty can device.

   "Don't come up again! Stop!"

   When the sound of rolling, the shouting changed to screaming: "Don't try to talk to me, I can't remember, you died too many times!"

  Lu Li stagnated, aware of the deep meaning of the words: "I don't understand."

   "...I know you're there! We're not enemies, this is a competition..."

The    shout was reset again.

   Lu Li, who had already noticed some key points, was patient and waited quietly, waiting for the shouting to continue.

   "Don't try to talk to me either, I can't remember...you've died too many times already as part of a rotten sewer just like those inhabitants...don't ask! Knock on the jar and tell me if you're listening!"

  Lu Li looked down at the guardrail at his feet, and reached out to empty the can.

  Dang chirp——dang chirp——

The empty cans rolled down the steps, and the shouts came from deep in the corridor: "Very good...you can communicate...great...great. What do you want to know, wait, don't talk to me! I Guess you don't know who you are? Don't know why you're here? You're a player, a player in the Triwizard Tournament... We're in the game, this is off limits..."

   shouted to supplement the missing information. At the same time, Lu Li on the stairs recorded the clues. If you have the sixth time, then you can avoid confusion to the greatest extent.

"...Every time you die, your connection to this place deepens, from upside down the ceiling, from not understanding the language... The proof is that you are no longer upside down, and you have the power of forgetting! Yes... the power of forgetting... you It's like an unknowable abyss, we can't hear it, you're not in our memory, you think the real world doesn't exist..."

The    voice gradually became incoherent, but it was sufficiently intelligible.

   "Leave...please leave...I will remember you, and I will tell them to rescue you when I go out...Please go away..."

   When Lu Li was thinking, the parchment in the inner pocket radiated heat.

   "Lu Li... This is a fork in the road..."

   At this moment, Will Ken whispered in his mind intermittently: "The cursed title of the corrupt sewers... is approaching."

   "Because of forgetting?"

   "Yes...the more you forget...the closer to it."

   "How should I leave."

   "Get the cursed title...that's the exit...remember...don't get lost in the killing...remember."

  Lu Li didn't ask how to get the cursed title, because the answer was right in front of him: death.

   "Believe Will..."

  Will Ken's old voice faded, and Lu Li calmly took out the white pills in his stomach bag.

   Confirming that the note was not missed, enough to know the truth, Lu Li swallowed the pill——

"are you still there?"

   The voice in the depths of the corridor faded away as Lu Li lost consciousness...

  Lu Li disappeared shortly after the stairs.

   A terrifying, biting chill descends on the house.

   As if footsteps sounded, he approached the living room, stepped up the stairs, and ascended to the second floor.

  The depths of the empty corridor are empty.

  …

   The depths of the mist are shrouded in darkness.

   The dim oil lamp gradually lights up, dispelling the darkness, and a figure with an oil lamp emerges.

   The dim yellow diffuses outward, revealing more things hidden in the darkness.

  Lu Li raised the oil lamp and saw an old living room that had been neglected for a long time. Ceiling fans hang from the ceiling, unpacked dishes and spoons are left on the dining table, and the windows are covered in veil-like dust.
