Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 225 One hundred and forty. Growth

"that is it?"

"that is it."

  Lu Li was silent, staring at the shadow under the woman's cloak.

   This method sounds unreliable, but Lu Li can't find a reason why she would lie to him for now.

   Lu Li asked, "What about the specifics?"

The    woman also asked: "Why do you have so many questions?"

   "Because you seem to know a lot."

   "That sounds reasonable, so let me tell you: you'll know when the boat flips to the surface."

   "What does it mean to flip to the surface?"

   The hood of the woman in black robe lifted slightly, and the eyes in the shadow seemed to be looking at Lu Li: "Have you not noticed? We are not sailing on the sea."

   Lu Li was slightly startled, and looked out of the porthole. The dark sea outside the sailboat was swaying with waves, not like the deep sea, nor the bottom of the sea.

   "It sails on the other side of the sea."

   A woman's voice came from behind.

   The night-like eyes staring at the sea condensed: "So we are upside down, and the bottom of the boat is the sea?"

   "Hmm." The black-robed woman in the seat behind raised her head.

   This is too incredible, even more incredible than what happened to Lu Li on this boat. But if this ship is really a "ship that returns the dead", it is not so difficult to accept.

   And it also explains why those shadows are weak, maybe they are just ordinary souls, they just look strange and can be reborn.

   Lu Li waved his palms and blew again, without resistance and bubbles, he couldn't verify whether the woman's words were true.

   There was an interesting chuckle behind him, and Lu Li turned his head and said, "What would have happened if we hadn't jumped off the boat at dawn."

   "Will be a tourist on this ship to the underworld, and never go back."

  Lu Li looked back at her: "Then why are you on this boat."

  The reason why Lu Li appeared on the boat was that he fell into the water and nearly drowned. What about the woman in black robe?

   She said casually: "As I said before, your mission is to explore, and my mission is to protect you, so I'll come and take you back, no thanks."

"thanks."

   "What a boring character." The black-robed woman raised her tone slightly, but after a few seconds it gradually turned cold. "I've changed my mind though, because...there's only one person left alive."

  Lu Li looked at her quietly.

   Dead silence remained in the captain's room for more than ten seconds, and a relaxed voice came from under the black robe: "Just kidding."

  Lu Li nodded and said nothing.

   There was some movement on the deck outside the porthole, and on the deck covered with black matter, shadows that had been scattered before emerged from the floor and climbed out.

   It contains the captain's shadow. It raised its head, looked at Lu Li in front of the porthole, and raised its palms—

  The shadows on the deck began to slowly encircle the captain's room.

  Squeak-

   The empty chair swayed slightly behind him, and the black-robed woman walked to Lu Li's side.

   "They won't necessarily get us what we want."

   Listening to the woman's voice, Lu Li took ten bullets from his pocket and handed them to her: "Save it."

   The bandaged hand picked up the bullet from Lu Li's palm: "How can I save it, two shots in one shot?"

   "I mean the psychic gun."

   It is too extravagant for women in black robes to use psychic guns as consumables.

"understood."

   She pushed the door out of the captain's room, stood in front of the corridor parapet, raised her psychic gun, and pulled the trigger.

boom!

boom!

   The captain's shadow and a shadow exploded in response.

   The woman in black robe put away the two psychic guns and took out two psychic guns again

boom!

boom!

   Two more shots were fired.

  Beside the woman, Lu Li grabbed the handle of the gun and smashed the soles of his feet. These seemingly insubstantial shadows emerged from under the floor and were scattered by the psychic gun.

   "How to make them stop attacking?"

   Lu Li asked, although these shadows hardly cause trouble, they will eventually cause some trouble. Even if he used the psychic gun incorrectly, Lu Li would not be able to bear the cost of his Sanity.

   "The captain is scattered and the shadow is half scattered, and the rest of the shadow will return to normal."

   There seemed to be countless psychic guns hidden under the cloak of the woman in black robe. She took out two more and said, breaking up the two shadows coming up the stairs one after another.

   The gunfire on the deck did not stop, and a minute later, the second wave of attacks was broken up.

  4:23.

   There is still an hour before dawn.

  Lu Li returned to the captain's room. He only scattered two shadows that were too close. The black robed woman was the main output.

   "Are you going to start asking questions again?" said the black-robed woman standing by the door.

  Lu Li nodded, he didn't like to act without understanding the situation: "How can we accurately grasp the time of dawn."

   "Talk while walking." The black-robed woman tilted her head and motioned to go to the deck with her.

   She's going to recover those psychic guns scattered on the deck.

  Lu Li followed the black-robed woman and she walked down the stairs. The black-robed woman said casually, "I can't catch it, so there is only one chance. If we don't leave at the moment when the light of dawn scatters, we will return to the boat."

   "What if there are dark clouds."

   The black-robed woman's hood turned to Lu Li: "It's also good to go to the underworld."

  The shadows on the deck ignored the two figures walking around.

   "How much do you know about the ship that returns the dead?"

   "A lot."

According to the woman in the black robe, the ship that returned the souls of the dead was originally just a legend, and it was passed down among the crew. Most sailors knew two things when they became crew members: the words about not sinking on the ship and slandering the goddess of the storm, and The legend of the ship that returned the dead.

   It is the ship that leads the dead to the underworld. If you encounter a ship that returns the dead, you should avoid it immediately, and never look directly at it. Prolonged staring and close staring can cause you to appear on the ship returning the dead.

   According to rumors, the ship returning the souls of the dead is not fixed. Some people saw it was a small wooden boat, some people saw it was a sailboat, some people saw it was a metal boat, and some people saw it was a paper boat. Most of the witnesses confirmed that what they saw was real, and the ghosts were standing on the deck.

   However, as the world deteriorates, it becomes more and more dangerous and weird, and some existences that were originally just legends began to appear in reality, such as the ship that returned the dead.

   Lu Li asked some more questions, and the women in black robes answered them one by one. They were not detailed enough, but they all seemed to be correct.

   The black robe woman knows too much in every way, and her erudition is...disturbing.

  The woman in black robe knew that Lu Li was testing her, and Lu Li knew that the woman in black robe knew that he was testing her. The two cooperated tacitly and did not expose this.

   and the black-robed woman retrieved the guns scattered on the deck, and by the way fought off the shadows from the third wave of rebirth—they would revive every ten minutes.

   This means that before dawn, they have to withstand at least six waves of attacks, and the bullets are running out.

   In this case, the woman in black robe still refused to return to the cabin.

   This puzzled Lu Li.

   "What's in the cabin?"
