Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1220 One hundred and fifty-eight. Become the enemy's companion

   "Where hasn't it been changed yet?"

   "Kitchen, hall, dungeon, warehouse."

  Lu Li held his breath, recalling the conversation with Margaret.

  The eyes outside the hole never found the intruder lying on the rock wall, and quickly moved away, scattering food debris again.

  Two minutes later, the owner of the dark golden eyes stopped feeding, Lu Li rested his head beside the hole, his cat ears were against the slate, listening to the movement outside.

   was silent, only the sound of an eternal hollow came from the other end of the slate.

  The space above is not too small, either a palace or a dungeon.

  If the former...only the Viscount will be wandering there. If the latter, it corresponds to feeding at short intervals.

   Is the existence with that eye a prisoner of the Viscount, or the Viscount himself?

  The cat's paw scraped the rock wall and slid back to the bottom of the well to confirm that the rat people would not leave and that nothing would happen. Lu Li left the bottom of the well and measured the direction, position and height of the rat hole to the rat population again.

   But the compass that was recovered was useless from the beginning, the ruler was difficult to measure in the non-straight tunnel, and the ramp made Lu Li lose his judgment of height.

   This will not work.

   was forced to return to the bottom of the well, and Lu Li climbed the rock wall again, this time with his tail curling the eyes of the businessman.

   skillfully climbed to the top, his tail curled up to the hole, still some distance away. Lu Li tried to put his eyeball into the hole, but was unsuccessful. The eyeball fell back to the bottom of the well, bounced a few times and hit a rat man.

   Before they ate the eyes of the merchant, Lu Li slipped with dust and drove away the rat people around the eyes.

   Maybe after more than a dozen attempts, the eyeballs will be thrown out of the hole once, but it is more likely that Lu Li made a mistake and fell from above, killing and injuring these rat people.

   Now there is only one way left: make a noise to attract attention outside the hole.

  Lu Li didn't do this, and chose to leave here temporarily.

   Now the more important thing is to make the Viscount change back to Chris.

   As for whether it is a palace or a dungeon outside the hole, whether it is a viscount or a coincidence...

   But that doesn't mean Lu Li will stop thinking.

   went back to the kitchen and was taken away by Margaret who was picking up. Lu Li tried to contact Claire in a dream, but it was too far away, and he couldn't get close to the manor from the dream, so he could only let Claire manipulate the lizard maid to answer him.

  Tower, after Lu Li described the dark golden eyes, Claire immediately said that those are the characteristics of a mother.

   "You mean the mother is feeding the rat people?" The lizard maid's hoarse voice carried Claire's surprise.

   "Not sure yet, but unlikely."

  If the eyes belong to the Viscount, then feeding the Rat Man means she still has some memories—but that doesn't explain why she still doesn't touch Lu Li and the search of the territory.

   Even if there are some reasons for her to do so, it is only speculation and not evidence.

  The Lizard Maid fell silent at this time.

   "Claire?"

   "Chief maid, leave." The lizard maid replied.

   Soon after, returning Claire controlled its consciousness: "I'm in the dean's cemetery, you can come back first, and we'll find a way together."

"Um."

  Lu Li promised Claire and looked at Margaret: "Send me back."

   After dozens of minutes, Margaret walked out of the castle holding a stack of maid uniforms, passed through the moat and gardens, and followed the dead forest path to the gardener's territory.

   She was waiting here, Lu Li got out of the maid uniform, and the branches flowed toward the gardener's territory.

  Asammons had driven away the little gardeners around the necropolis, and Lu Li passed through the silent, rotten land, approaching the gardener's necropolis.

   Lu Li would have entered the necropolis straight from the cold stone steps, but a long-lost inspiration suddenly warned him in the form of a Tree Whisperer—something was wandering in the tomb.

   couldn't understand where the perception came from, but Lu Li decided to follow the inspiration and release the Tree Whisperer after a long time.

   The phantom of Annie drenched in shimmering light is like a giant tree, spreading out behind Lu Li in the form of a black cat. And when Lu Li put on the invisible crown of the plant monarch, he felt that the people in the necropolis were rejoicing at the arrival of their king.

   The deadly spores of the undead flood the necropolis.

   Here is the trap.

  Claire is not here, nor are Asammons and the undead.

   The hazy shimmer disappeared with the phantom of Annie, and the people from Lu Liqiao left the cemetery as if they had never arrived.

   At the edge of the dry forest, Lu Li returned to Margaret who was waiting here.

   "Did the other lizard maids see you?"

   Lu Li asked Margaret, and after getting the answer, told her what happened to the cemetery: "The necropolis is a trap."

   "Claire can't betray you," said Margaret.

  Lu Li remembered that Claire had left strangely temporarily during the previous conversation: "Let's go back to the castle first."

   Even the Viscount couldn't let the dry forest attack Lu Li, and Claire once released Margaret's maid control and made her an independent individual. So until he returned to the tower, Lu Li did not encounter any attacks or accidents.

  Only the lizard maids who met along the way followed to the tower.

   "Why didn't you come back?" "Claire" asked puzzled.

   They didn't know that Lu Li had approached the cemetery and left.

   "I think of some clues, I want to enter the dream." Lu Li's rational calm is the best disguise.

   "It's about what?"

   "The existence of earth dwellers."

   "Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you in the necropolis." "Claire" said.

   Lu Li nodded, curled up at the end of the bed and closed his eyes. At the same time that the Lizard Maid left the tower, the black gem's pupils reopened.

   "Create the illusion that I'm still here and send me to the kitchen." said Lu Li and Margaret who stayed behind.

   "Aren't you going to save Claire?" Margaret retorted to herself after asking: "Don't tell me where to go."

  Margaret would not betray Lu Li either, but she might be forced to betray like Claire.

   "It can't be saved yet. They know that the person who falls into the dream, rushing in may be another trap." Lu Li replied.

  Lu Li asked Margaret to tore a page from the bedtime story beside the bed, curled it into a roll of paper, folded it and rolled it up with a cat's tail, and then hid in the maid's uniform and left the tower.

   There are no surprises from the tower to the mouse hole. Drilling out of the bottom of the well, Lu Li climbed up the rock wall with the unfolded paper roll while the mice were dozing lazily.

After the    lords "betrayed", the unknown existence outside the hole who fed the rat became the only help.

   The elongated tail rolls up the roll paper and sends it out of the hole. Lu Li shook his tail, trying to attract the attention of those outside. A few minutes later, Lu Li felt exhausted, and when he was about to retract his tail, the paper roll was suddenly pulled out of the hole.

   Immediately, the slate was moved away, and the bright light was scattered. In the haze, Lu Li's neck was picked up and raised to the ground.

   When Lu Li was hesitating whether to use the dreamer to escape, "Don't use the dreamer." A familiar lazy voice sounded in his ears.

   His vision gradually recovered, and Lu Li saw the empty hall and a pair of dark golden eyes in the shadows.

   The spreading black cat pupils gradually contracted: "Chris?"

   "Lu Li, you don't even want to call me Vice President Chris."
