Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 195 One hundred and ten. Anna's touch

  Lu Li didn't think the letters sent to Remi and Jimmy could be received by them.

   Or maybe they will get letters in some way, and letters, but not in Belfast.

  Lu Li did this just to make Anna relax, and at the same time to test whether the evil spirit book "Introductory Trial of Investigators" really had a way to restore sanity.

   But anything can happen. If Remy and Jimmy really come... Lu Li may have to reassess how bad the world is in his heart.

   Thoughts gradually sank deep into his mind, and Lu Li fell into a deep sleep.

  The sound of flapping wings came from outside the window. Something fell outside the window. The silhouette of the black crow was projected on the curtain, stayed for a while, and then spread its wings and flew away.

  The night is silent.

  …

   In the early morning of the next day, the dim and cold light penetrated through the curtains and entered the dim living room.

  Anna woke up first.

   She lifted the quilt that had no trace of warmth, stretched out her white and transparent fingers and poked it a few times.

   The fluffy quilt touched by her fingertips sank, Anna hummed contentedly, got up and floated towards the door.

Just as    floated up, she suddenly thought of something, her translucent body fell, and she stepped barefoot on the cold floor.

   But she couldn't feel it.

   Ten toes curled up. Anna was a little uncomfortable with the feeling of being on the ground. She took a step forward and stopped again, and her body swayed unbalanced.

   But she still found a way to keep herself balanced. She raised her hands slightly to balance, and walked out of the bedroom quietly, swaying from side to side.

  The oil lamp on the desk was glowing faintly. Anna walked awkwardly to the desk, tiptoe to extinguish the oil lamp, and staggered to the sofa.

  Lu Li lay flat on the sofa, his head resting on the pillow on the armrest, and he was covered in a woolen coat, and he still hadn't woken up.

  Anna couldn't help but want to hold her breath, and then realized that she didn't need to breathe, carefully tiptoed, leaned over the sofa, and opened the curtains that blocked the window.

  The sofa was moved under the windowsill a while ago. It was neither Lu Li nor Anna, but a sculpture. Although I don't know when it did it and why it did it, the one person and one ghost who regarded it as a member of the detective agency acquiesced to the new arrangement.

  Whoa——

   The curtains were gently pulled aside, and the sound of the blocked rain appeared at the same time as the window with water marks and moisture.

   There were people coming and going outside the blurred windows, and some voices and the sound of wheels rolling in were also blurred.

  Anna's clear eyes narrowed in an arc, and her mood became cheerful because of this lively scene.

   Suddenly she trembled, and her cheeks quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She lowered her head and looked shyly at Lu Li who opened her eyes.

"How did you do it?"

   Lu Li's palm stretched out from under the coat and touched Anna's waist.

Anna forcibly controlled herself to stay calm, instead of going back into the bedroom like a smoke and covering the quilt, she stammered with a blushing face and said, "It was yesterday... um... I got angry and seemed to get stronger, and I found that I could cover my body with my mind, Then you can touch things around you.”

   Speaking of this, Anna showed a distressed look: "But it feels very awkward. It's completely different from before, as if something is separated from the surroundings?"

  Lu Li didn't answer, and pinched Anna's waist thoughtfully.

   "Uh...do, what are you doing!"

  Ana jumped away as if electrocuted, her cheeks flushed, and steam seemed to rise from her head.

  Lu Li answered thoughtfully: "The hand feels different from the skin, it's a bit like a balloon wrapped in a layer of smooth leather."

   "Don't analyze this kind of thing seriously!"

  Lu Li sat up and looked at Anna: "Does it feel like being touched?"

"No! I feel like I'm dead!" Anna almost subconsciously shouted shyly, but when she saw the calm in Lu Li's eyes, she realized that she might have misunderstood the meaning, and her voice subconsciously became smaller: "It's just a layer of Mind power, and contact with foreign objects will consume it, but I can always replenish it."

   "Like a layer of clothing?"

   "Um...almost."

   "How long can you maintain this state?"

   "Now...how many hours?"

  If Anna doesn't do anything, she can continue to be active outside for more than ten hours, which is close to the normal work and rest time of human beings.

   What else did Lu Li want to ask, but Anna, who was still ashamed, pulled up with her mind force and urged, "Go and buy breakfast."

  Lu Li put on the shoes under the sofa, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen: "No, I'm going to the investigator department."

  The inexplicable joy hidden in Anna's eyes suddenly faded, and she looked a little sad: "Why are you going there..."

   "There's a library at the base, I'll go see if there's anything I need there." Lu Li turned to look at Anna, those black eyes were still calm, but Anna always felt like... with some kind of disgust?

   "I can also ask you if you remember continental history and geography."

  Anna opened her mouth but said nothing. After a while, she shouted in dissatisfaction to the kitchen where the sound of water sounded: "If you ask me how to draw a realistic oil painting, I'll know!"

   After a while, the sound of the water stopped. After washing, Lu Li returned to the living room, took off the towel to dry his hands and face, picked up the clothes on the sofa, shook off the wrinkles, and put them on.

   "Remember to come back early and don't forget to buy breakfast!"

   When Lu Li walked to the door and brought his umbrella, Anna, who was standing in the center of the living room, shouted.

   Every time she is shy, Anna's voice can't help but improve

"Um."

  .

  The door was closed, and Lu Li's back disappeared behind the door.

  Ana maintained the posture when Lu Li left, staring blankly at the closed door, her figure slowly slackened.

   At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and a figure came from behind the door.

   "Huh? What's wrong?"

  Ana stared blankly at Lu Li who was returning.

"nothing."

  Lu Li retracted the door and closed the door again.

  This idiot thought I would follow him secretly? It turns out that he also guessed something wrong...

  Anna snickered for a while, and the smile gradually disappeared. In the silent detective agency, a trace of loneliness appeared on her cheeks.

   "You can accompany him when you become stronger, protect him..."

  …

  Snowflake Street.

  Blindly love the Anleis brothers underground pipeline repair station.

  Across the street, a dark brown beach with a width of several hundred meters stretches under the guardrail. Under the misty drizzle, you can vaguely see sporadic figures walking on the beach.

   Looking at the lead-grey seawater and the deserted harbor in the distance from the guardrail, Lu Li turned around and walked into the disguised shop at the investigator base.

There was an ordinary customer in the store. The alliance staff wearing suspenders and overalls disguised as the store manager was guiding the customer to buy. When he noticed the person coming, he turned to look at Lu Li who walked into the store, nodded, and continued talking to the customer. : "Based on the situation in your home, it is recommended to consider the No. 2 wrench..."

  Lu Li came to the innermost part of the maintenance station, opened the curtain, and stood in front of the black-robed goshawk portrait that occupied the front wall yesterday.

  Lu Li looked at the pitch-black goshawk that spread its wings on the portrait.

   This might be a crow.
