Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1058 One hundred and twenty-five. Castle

   It won't take long for the castle to react, and Claire has not yet returned.

   Sitting on the top of the tree canopy and staring at the bright lights in the south, Lu Li summoned the merchant Anthony and took out the parchment.

   "Will Ken, are you still there?"

The    inquiry didn't get a response. Lu Li assumed that he was listening and continued to ask, "The gold coin opened the treasure chest, and it contained an eyeball."

   After a moment of silence, Will Ken's intermittent voice echoed in his mind.

   "...Maybe that was...original...I don't know...will...sleep..."

   whispered the breeze that annihilated in the upper canopy.

   rolled up the parchment and handed it to the businessman Anthony, and Lu Li let it continue to find a way to restore Will Ken and write down the note.

   jumped back to the ground from the canopy, and Lu Li temporarily returned to the empty nursery.

  The little gardeners had already gathered in the southern part of the territory, perhaps heading towards the intruder. With their departure, the rancid stench that had pervaded the nursery for a long time disappeared.

   Climbing into the cemetery, Lu Li put the note that reminded Claire that he was in the woods into the treasure chest, paused a little, and rolled up the cloudy eyeball on his tail.

The   melted pupils are no longer recognizable as their source, but the outlines only slightly smaller than a gold coin clearly do not belong to humans.

  Lu Li took it out of the necropolis, and then encountered a young gardener who had not left or returned at the edge of the nursery.

The    situation should have easily bypassed the little gardener with Lu Li and returned to the dead woods. But when the little gardener stepped out from hiding behind the tombstone, Lu Li glimpsed that the depths of the disgusting body made of corpses were occupied by a thin soul.

  Lu Li thought that this was the ability of a special little gardener or a certain player, but after a moment of quiet observation, he ruled out the two possibilities for the numb little gardener.

   He realized something and lowered his tail with his eyes rolled down.

   Not far away, the phantom of the soul that could be observed gradually faded away, and reappeared when Lu Li touched his eyes.

   Can this eyeball penetrate the falsehood and point to the truth?

  Lu Li followed the guidance of the tombstone plant to find the second little gardener who was left in the nursery. As before, holding the eyeball would allow Lu Li to glimpse the little gardener's soul.

   So the gardener put it in a treasure chest and hid it.

   Before more little gardeners returned, Lu Li returned to the fluorescent forest.

  The forest didn't change because Lu Li mastered the true eyesight. Trees don't have souls, or that's what they really are.

   climbed the canopy, and the area of ​​the dark surface lit up with fire was wider and closer than before—they had entered the Viscount’s territory.

   At this time, the branches that lifted Lu Li fell into the canopy, and the layers of branches wrapped around his outline, leaving only a faint light peeking into the interior.

   Then, the noise of flying came from far away, getting closer and closer, like a huge swarm of bats passing over the forest like a cloud.

  Wait until the bats are far away, and the unfolded branches reveal the body of the cat.

   Looking at the direction the bat was flying, Lu Li confirmed that the war between the Viscount and the humans had begun.

  Maybe it will take a lot of time before humans advance to the castle, but Lu Li doesn't plan to wait any longer.

   Summoned businessman Anthony again, Lu Li took the invisibility potion and calm forest, rolled up two shriveled and full eyeballs and a piece of fluorite and walked towards the castle.

During the period of   , after solving the gardener's battlefield, the mountain of minced meat was still piled up in place, and nothing useful was left.

When    was about to leave the forest, Lu Li told the dead forest not to attack humans.

   After a slight pause, Lu Li added: "Before they attack."

  The withered forest shelters the garden, and on both sides of the modified flowerbed growth road, lifelike ferocious stone statues stand in rows.

  When the enemy appears, the harmless flowerbed will entangle the intruder, and the resurrected stone statue will deal a vicious blow.

  The garden guards the castle, the magnificent castle with bright lights stands on the ground, and the alchemy tower behind it is hidden in the darkness.

   But for Lu Li, leaping into the flowerbed is like walking on his own territory. Hide the stingers, lest they harm their king.

   Avoiding the stone statues standing silently, Lu Li walked along the long flowerbed to the rancid moat.

  The moat that no longer flows, floats in suspicious shadows, and emits filth is the last barrier of the castle. Claire goes in twice, so it's a good idea to enter the castle from the air.

  Lu Li returned to the flowerbed, and his cat's paw pressed a vine, giving him half of his humanity.

   The vines in the perception are like giving consciousness, suddenly clear, silently obeying Lu Li and growing vigorously, turning into giant vines to carry Lu Li across the moat and approaching the second-floor window.

  As Lu Li jumped onto the windowsill, the vines that had completed the mission withered and curled up and fell into the rancid moat.

   Staring at the dark and quiet moat like silt, Lu Li looked behind the window.

  The cramped utility room is full of items, and the wall lamps connected with slender pipes shine brighter than oil lamps, becoming a member of the castle that never sleeps.

  Lu Li put the businessman's eyes on the windowsill. After a short wait, the silhouette of businessman Anthony emerged by the moat.

   "Go into the utility room and open the window for me."

   Lu Li on the second floor windowsill looked down and said.

  The businessman Anthony stepped into the shadows and waited for a moment. The silhouette of the businessman wearing a tattered scarf appeared in the utility room and opened the window for Lu Li.

  Lu Li got into the utility room, replenished his eyeballs, and hid two more eyeballs in the corner.

   After hesitation, Lu Li did not return to his human form. While that would mean having an apocalyptic book, the current black cat size still has a significant advantage.

   Although he successfully infiltrated the castle, it was not easy to find Claire in a complex, three-dimensional, and full of weird servants, no smaller than a town—

  twitter——

   Familiar birds chirping suddenly passed by the window.

   Lu Li jumped up to the windowsill, leaned out the cat's body and stared at the distant shadow: "Claire?"

  Shadow paused and quickly rushed back into the utility room.

   "Close the window now!"

  Claire shouted anxiously, Lu Li's tail pulled the window closed. Soon, the shadow of the bat swept through the window, and broke apart a few pieces scattered outside the window, observing the calm utility room.

  In the blind spot under the window sill, Claire whispered in shock: "Why are you here!?"

   "Humans are attacking the manor and have bordered the territory of the head maid and gardener." Lu Li replied.

   "So fast? Did the players unite..." Claire said to herself, "I can't get close to the Viscount, the nasty bats are everywhere, and I didn't see your 'sister'."

   "What if you give up the viscount."

   "What?" Claire was startled.

   "The gardener who is solved by the maid can be counted on us, the lord goes to one. The chef is at the castle, approach it to solve it, the lord goes to the second."

  Claire thought for a moment and shook her head gently: "It's not enough, don't forget that the Viscount is more important than all the lords. Unless... we will deal with the head maid."

   "Maybe not, the farmer escaped."

   The bat, which had nothing to gain, flew away from the window, and Lu Li's voice followed.

   "Find it, go to three of the four lords."
