Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 1409 Fifty-One. Guardian Spirit

  The boy crawled back to the corner covering his mouth.

   These chemicals work better for Aboriginal people who have never been exposed to drugs. It also tasted worse.

   "Remember to wash your body and keep it dry, your festering will gradually reduce."

   "Are you a witch doctor?" The boy huddled in the haystack, and his voice came from the darkness: "Your medicine is much more bitter than the witch doctor, but you don't need to take so much."

   "I am the exorcist."

   "What is The Exorcist?"

  The isolated village knows little about the outside world.

   "Hunting the weird ones."

   "Monster hunting? How did you beat monsters?"

   "With wisdom and sacrifice."

  Lu Li talked about the weirdness that even the closed villagers are familiar with: evil spirits.

  In the old days when the black ring hadn't come yet, and the weirdness hadn't invaded on a large scale, Lu Li and the boy talked about the future.

   Such as uninvited guests.

  The boy leaned against the haystack, and the pair of bright eyes in the dark room quietly listened to Lu Li's narration:

   "The uninvited guest collapsed by the bed, and in the last moment of consciousness, he returned home."

   "Awesome story..." The teenager is immersed in the story. This was different from the stories he usually heard.

   As for Lu Li, for the weird era, the story of the uninvited guest brings a rare warmth and tranquility.

  Only people killed by uninvited guests think otherwise.

  Lu Li continued to talk about his experience of leaving the Immortal Giant that ran aground on the rocks, being swallowed by strange fish along the bay, and manipulating the strange fish to come to the village.

   "So you were caught by the villagers because you fought monsters?"

"Ok."

  These experiences can help Lu Li gain trust and contact the villagers to complete the commission of the farming garden.

  After listening to the two stories, the contented teenager whispered, "I'm going back, if they find out that I'm in contact with you, I'll be beaten to death..."

   Saying goodbye to Lu Li, the young man crept into the haystack, the bulging haystack gradually calmed down, and the black room returned to the silence that was only the sound of the pattering rain.

  Lu Li tried to raise his arm, but his fingers trembled slightly. Manipulating the monster fish seems to have paralyzed the nerves and muscles, making it difficult for him to manipulate his body. Divergent thinking made him guess whether the strange fish stranded on the river bank was twitching due to its own movement at the moment.

   Lying in the haystack, quietly staring out the window.

  The raindrops and thunder beating on the hut made his eyelids get heavier and heavier, and he gradually fell asleep.

  During this period, Lu Li heard a faint noise, and his consciousness gradually became clear. In a blink of an eye, he fell into a nightmare where he couldn't open his eyes, and fell into a dream again.

   I don't know how long it has passed, but what woke Lu Li up again was the rustling sound of nearby grass piles rubbing against each other.

  The thin shadow crawled out of the grass. The rain and lightning never stopped outside, but the thunder disappeared.

   "How long has it been?" Lu Li's voice was hoarse and obscure, his throat was stinging from dryness.

   "It's been a day."

   "Is there... water?"

   "I'll pick up..."

  The boy crawled out of the dark room, and soon came back with the rainwater in his hand, and approached Lu Li to moisten his lips and throat.

   "Cough—"

  The rain that choked on Lu Li's nose made Lu Li cough lightly, and he became much more awake. The noise he vaguely heard when he fell asleep sounded: "What happened outside?"

   "They were arguing..."

"why?"

  The boy didn't answer, so Lu Li didn't ask any more questions, and asked the boy to take another anti-inflammatory medicine.

  The medicine was very effective, and the teenager no longer resisted the medicine, and even worried that it would not be effective yesterday, so he chewed and swallowed the pill again.

   As a reward, the boy gave Lu Li a piece of black cane sugar that was slightly bigger than yesterday.

  Lu Li replenished his negligible calories, and then told a new story under his expectation.

   "This time it's...Jimmy and Remy's story."

  Lu Li slowly told about Jimmy brothers and sisters that existed as a story. When the story was finished and the boy wanted to hear the second story, the torch light and footsteps that appeared outside the black room drove the boy into the haystack.

   Listen quietly to the sound of the rain. They are getting closer, some kind of dispute breaks out, and then they go away inexplicably.

  Lu Li curled up his fingers slightly, the slow recovery speed made it take him a few days before he could move.

  He didn't wait for the boy to come back. As night fell, darkness enveloped the dark house, Lu Li seemed to be forgotten by the villagers, and the oil lamp had long been extinguished. Rely only on the lightning in the storm and not be engulfed by darkness.

  The storm was unusually persistent.

  Finally, a new day came, the rain stopped for a while, and along with the rustling sound, Lu Li smelled a faint smell of decay.

  Two anti-inflammatory drugs saved the festering boy back.

   "This is the last one." Lu Li said after the boy dug out the anti-inflammatory medicine, "You probably don't need anti-inflammatory medicine anymore."

  The boy stuffed the third piece of black cane sugar to Lu Li, hesitated, and did not leave.

"What's wrong?"

   "They're going to destroy the village."

  Lu Li realized that the time had come: "What happened in the village?"

  The frightened boy vented his emotions tremblingly: "They killed the village chief, grandpa, witch doctor, grandma, and many other villagers..."

  The boy simply narrated the riot that happened in the village, combined with the conversation that Lu Li heard when he was brought back by the names of Ruby and Sauron...it was a tragedy.

  This unnamed village was sheltered by a "Guardian Spirit" who has guarded the village for generations at the beginning of the disaster when the cultivated land lost contact. At first, people believed in the guardian spirit, and the guardian spirit also sheltered because of people's trust. But with the passage of time, all the weirdness was blocked outside the village, and the villagers who could not see the truth gave birth to seeds of doubt.

   Their faith is no longer loyal, and the power of the guardian spirit is weakened.

  Lu Li already knew everything that happened afterwards.

  Suddenly, chaotic shouts entered the dark room. The boy stood by the window and looked around, saying, "It's on fire."

  It was a noisy mix of crying, laughing, screaming, and running, which gradually approached and became clearer.

  In Lu Li's mind, those young people set fire to houses amidst the cries of old people and children.

  Hoo—

  The flame quickly spread here, igniting the damp haystack.

   "Leave me alone, take the guardian spirit and leave." Lu Li said to the boy who was trying to drag him. Watch him get out of the dark room.

  The burning flames became more and more vigorous around, licking that peaceful face, and at a certain moment, it suddenly froze.

   "What do you think of this scene, people from the outside world..."

   "They are not worth protecting." Lu Li replied to Gengdiyuan. "What happened to that village in the end?"

"do not know…"

  Even without Lu Li, conflicts would erupt.

  The best result is that the rebel villagers leave the village and get the freedom and self-righteous beauty they want. The worst outcome is the scene that Lu Li experienced, they sent themselves and everyone to a dead end. Then cried out and begged the guardian spirit, but it was too late.

   "You have completed the test... Now it's time to fulfill the promise and send you back to reality..."

   "Wait a minute."

  Lu Li changed his mind: "Can you take me to when the black ring descends?"

   Gengdiyuan didn’t understand, but still agreed, and blessed:

   "They can't pollute, they can't hurt you, they can't kill you..."
