Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1218 One hundred and fifty six. Good and bad

   Lingling dim light like moonlight diffused from the rat body.

   Lu Li was dragged into Death Recall without warning.

   Unlike in the past, when the death retrospective can only glimpse the time of death, Lu Li intermittently saw the tragic life of the mouse named Miller.

  Miller was a well-to-do family, raised by his parents—a rarity in the dark ages when having both a father and mother was like a pure lamb.

  Because both of his parents have weird powers, he is also highly expected, hoping to continue the glory of his parents and even become a blood family.

   But the bloodline family has natural barriers - what you get, you have to pay.

  The strange power allows people to protect themselves and even fight for what they want, but it also pollutes the minds of users, making them paranoid and crazy.

   And because of the lack of blood family heritage, such families usually disintegrate themselves, and Miller's family is one of the unfortunate ones.

  The persecution and paranoia of his parents made his life manipulated all the time, and if he made a little mistake, punishment would follow.

   "This is wrong."

This sentence    was like a curse tightly entangled in his thoughts, from childhood to adulthood, and even death, it never disappeared until Lu Li really refuted this sentence.

   The invisible law of imprisoning the soul vanishes with the liberated Miller.

   Lu Li woke up from the death retracement.

  Miller's soul was gone, only the mouse puppet lay beside him, and the plastic eyes were dull due to the lack of soul.

   And death backtracking means Miller has dissipated.

  Lu Li realized that the survivors under the castle had not been reborn because of their strange bodies, they were still the souls of the late night city, attached to lifeless puppets.

   So Miller was finally freed like a ghost.

  Lu Li silently rolled up the rat puppet that lost his soul with his tail, and looked back at the dark rat hole hidden behind him.

   This hidden mouse hole leading to the outside of the castle may be useful in the future.

   Leaving the entrance of the cave, Lu Li approached the tower along the castle wall, he didn't plan to approach the tower and climb up from the bottom - he was a cat, not a gecko.

   And the bat guards who stood on the eaves and spires would not ignore him.

   After passing a shadow-shaking window, Lu Li jumped onto the window sill, frightened to the point where the lizard maid who was wiping in front of the glass stopped moving.

  The lizard maids all knew of Lu Li's existence, and he hesitated to open the window.

   "Tell Claire to find me, take me back to the tower, don't be found by the bat guards." Lu Li said to it.

  The lizard maid picked up the bucket and poured the sewage out of the window, let Lu Li get into it, and hurriedly walked along the corridor with him.

   Knowing that Lu Li was back through induction, Claire manipulated the behavior of the lizard maid and brought him back to the tower without attracting attention.

   "Why did it take so long this time? And it's so dirty..." Claire hugged Lu Li in disgust, the dust from the cat's fur quickly stained the snow-white bandage. There is no bathroom in the tower, so we can only take a bath when we return to the manor: "What is this mouse?"

   She noticed the rat puppet wrapped around its tail.

   "Put me down first."

   "No, you just said that."

  Lu Li had to continue being held by Claire, telling what happened after sneaking into the kitchen.

   Knowing that the head chef has no soul, she had the same opinion as Lu Li: "Maybe at that time I knew that the head chef was not a soul, so I killed him directly."

   "Can he be resurrected?"

  Lu Li's tail raised the mouse puppet.

   "There is no soul left, he is free..."

  Claire took the mouse puppet and let the breeze bring it to the table: "I will let the lizard maid bury it when I go back."

   doesn't sound meaningful, it's not a skeleton, but Lu Li allowed Claire's arrangement - it can help her regain her humanity.

   Although Claire did it just for him.

   Describes to Claire the bottom of the well inhabited by the Rat People, Claire can't recall whether there is a similar structure in the castle. Lu Li went to ask the undead Wenger and Asammons one after another, but they also didn't know where they were.

   "Their souls are disintegrating, you'd better bring them back as soon as possible." said Asammons, who saw Lu Li in his dream.

   "It's hard."

  The friendly Miller has disappeared, and the remaining souls will panic even if they see Lu Li—forcibly taking them away may cause them to flee and be difficult to find.

  If you want to bring them all back, you must first find out where the bottom of the well is.

   And this means that Lu Li needs to go back to the mouse hole and back to the rat people.

   But it was already morning, and the lords were about to return to their respective territories—

   It would be much easier if the head chef was their man. Asammons suggested stuffing it with the memories of the survivors of Night City and making it think it was human. Just be careful not to trust the chef as much as you trust them.

  Claire objected to this: having the memory of others is not without cost, Lu Li may lose himself because of this, it is best not to abuse the ability of the crown of knowledge.

   In the end, Lu Li, who had the right to decide, did not adopt the suggestion. Next, he would return to the mouse hole, where he would wait for the light source outside the hole to change, thereby confirming the location of the bottom of the well.

  Because Claire, the undead, and Asammons want to return to their respective territories, they need someone to stay in the castle to meet Luli.

   Margaret and the other soul maids will stay at the castle.

   And, when Lu Li brought back the souls of the rat people, Asammons and the others would find a way to solve the last trouble: after the identity of the head chef was clarified, only the Viscount was left in front.

   After getting the Necronomicon, trouble is no longer trouble itself - Lu Li can get Chris' memory from Sinan, a wise race, and return it to her.

   All they need to face is how to get Lu Li to contact Chris safely.

   "Why don't you wait for Lu Li to come back and prepare?" Claire still couldn't make up her mind to fight her mother.

   "The Land Dweller Firm won't give us too long." Lu Li replied for Asammons.

  Although it is possible that this matter will end there, it is also possible that the local people and businesses will not let it go. The latter is more likely.

The    earth dwellers are not sure that Lu Li is here, but they are also not sure that he is not here.

   They may be short-sighted, but they are not stupid. Even short-sighted and stupid - a commodity worth millions of weird currencies might be worth their while in Midnight City.

"We'll start implementing the plan when you come back with your soul. Before that, we'll look for the Viscount's weakness." Asammons said, "Lu Li, about memory, you'd better wait until the last moment. Chris's memory and gentle Different personality, regardless of gender or complexity...the longer it lasts, the more it affects you.”

  The best ending is that they successfully controlled the Viscount, Lu Li obtained the memory, confirmed that it was just a misunderstanding and returned the memory, activated the Alchemy Tower, and controlled the corner of Midnight City.

  The worst ending is that the plan is seen through by the Viscount, Lu Li is affected by memory, the lithograph is taken away, and they lose themselves and sink again.

  Lu Li nodded, woke up from the dream, and left the tower with a piece of fluorite and businessman's eyeballs.
