Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 26

   Lu Li didn't answer and looked at him quietly.

   Haders leaned back on the counter, waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me like that, it may take you several shots to solve it."

   "What is the real exorcism method?"

   The psychic gun is only one of the means, not the only means.

   "You wouldn't want to know."

"I would like to know."

   "It's not good for you."

   "I think it's great."

   "… until you bring 1,000 shillings."

  The conversation was so unhappy that it was obvious that Haders didn’t want to tell Lu Li—I don’t know if it was because he didn’t want him to swim in the muddy water, or what.

  From Haders' detective agency, Lu Li took a carriage back to Sailor Street.

   Sailor Street is ushering in the busiest time of the day, and the sailors who go out to sea have breakfast and head to the harbour one after another.

   Bought two pieces of white bread at Mrs. Filing's Bakery, one of which was distributed to the children outside the bakery, and Lu Li ate the rest with hot water, so he called Oliver.

   "Hi boss."

   "Athena Leslie, a former employee of Mrs. Anne's Art Gallery, has died. Send all her information before this afternoon. The focus is on character and the cause of death."

"OK."

   After arranging these, Lu Li took off his coat, hung it on the back of the chair, rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen.

   After a while, the sound of water flow sounded, and it stopped after a while. After a few seconds, Lu Li walked out of the kitchen with a towel on his face with water stains.

   Returning to the seat behind the desk, Lu Li was lying on the desk.

   After a minute and a second, the figure on the table gradually stabilized, and the detective agency returned to deserted and lonely.

   The experience of falling asleep this time was not good. Lu Li felt that his consciousness was sinking, penetrating the floor, mud and rocks.

  The surrounding water vapor is getting heavier and heavier, and they are attached to the consciousness, making the consciousness heavier and falling down.

  I don't know how long it has passed, and the increasingly hard rocks around it were emptied and submerged by the quiet and dead deep sea.

   There seemed to be light overhead, but as Lu Li's consciousness fell into the vast abyss, the light grew farther and farther, until it was blocked by an unknown depth of seawater.

  Light cannot appear in the abyss under the deep sea, and the breathless pressure squeezed in all directions, but did not intensify.

  Lu Li thought that he would keep sinking until he fell lightly into the seabed silt, and then he might see a seabed ruins crawling with seaweed in the darkness like eternal night.

   But change has occurred.

   The sea water that surrounds him suddenly turned into bizarre and colorful colors. They changed, like the mixed paints were blurred out layer by layer, twisted and entangled.

   This is by no means a scene in the abyss, more like... being cut off by some indescribable existence.

  Lu Li's consciousness couldn't think, so he could only watch and watch quietly.

The mixed colors of   strange transformations may be accidental or inevitable, forming a door.

   An ordinary, old wooden door.

The color of    is still changing, which also makes the door change its shape every moment. Metal gates, magnificent carved gates, fence gates, bronze gates…

   But without exception, there is a corresponding key inserted into the keyhole on each door.

  嘭嘭—

   The familiar knock on the door suddenly sounded deep in his consciousness.

   The consciousness that can only observe is suddenly born with the ability to think at this moment, and to distinguish the source of the sound.

  【Who is knocking on the door】

   At the moment when this consciousness was born, an irresistible force instantly appeared from an unknown position above the head. It pulled Lu Li's consciousness and pulled him past at a speed that almost twisted the surroundings.

   At that moment, Lu Li only saw dazzling white light filling his field of vision, and then...

  !

   subconsciously stood up and hit the seat, it collapsed backwards, making a small, no small crashing sound.

  Like a fish stranded on the shore, Lu Li gasped for a few short breaths, and was suppressed by his will again, his dark eyes concealing a bit of indifference raised them towards the door.

  …

  click—

  The door opened a gap.

  Oliver looked up at Lu Li, and shrank his neck: "Boss, you don't seem to have a good rest..."

   A bloodshot appeared on the edge of Lu Li's black eyes.

"Um."

   Lu Li walked back to the table and sat down, rubbing his eyebrows.

   The time display on the clock is now afternoon.

   "This is the information I found." Oliver handed some pieces of kraft paper to Lu Li.

   Lu Li took it, his eyes fell on it.

   These words were known to each Lu Li, but after they were combined into words and sentences, Lu Li suddenly couldn't understand the meaning.

   has nothing to do with the content, the problem lies with Lu Li.

   He still felt sleepy, and the bizarre dream just now did not relieve Lu Li's fatigue, but aggravated it.

  Oliver was puzzled and Lu Li put down the kraft paper temporarily, got up and walked to the kitchen.

  The sound of running water continued for a long time. When Lu Li came out again, he wiped his wet black hair.

   He finally looked better, instead of the dying breath he had just now.

   went back to the desk and sat down, Lu Li let out a turbid breath and picked up the kraft paper again, the content on it was finally no longer familiar and unfamiliar.

  Athena Leslie, who lives in the Blackwater neighborhood near an industrial area, worked as a weaver for a long time before working in a gallery, and it was there that she met Bill Eddy, the man who got her pregnant.

   From acquaintance to love, they soon lived together until Athena became pregnant.

The    textile factory is not suitable for pregnant women, so Athena quits her job and finds a new job with Bill's help: working in a gallery.

  This job is leisurely, and the salary is similar to that of a textile worker. Athena cherishes her new job and often stays in the gallery beyond her working hours.

  Things should continue to be happy like this.

   But one day, Bill Eddy suddenly disappeared. No one saw where he went, and after investigation, the police station only determined the area around the abandoned insane asylum in the suburbs.

   But after more than ten days, Bill Eddy came back and behaved as usual.

Then came the tragedy. On the seventh day after Bill Eddie came back, he attacked Athena like crazy and cut out the child belonging to the two. This act directly killed Athena and the less than seven months old. children.

   These are all on the vellum.

   "That means Athena was killed?" Lu Li rubbed his eyebrows and put back the paper.

   "Possible."

   "Where's Bill Eddie?"

   "Missing, my brother told me the police were looking for him, but no one was seen."

   "How did the police station determine this case?"

   "Said it was done by cultists, and Bill Eddy joined them, but it's not clear what the inside thinks."

  Lu Li is now having a hard time thinking, and instead asks, "Are you doing anything now?"

   "Uh... okay." Oliver replied subconsciously.

  Lu Li nodded and leaned into the seat.

   "You can stay here, or go out and do your own business, but remember to wake me up before 5pm."
