Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 269 One Hundred Eighty Four. "Omen"

   The entire piece of Shymfast gradually disappeared from view.

   Just as Lu Li is subtly changing Anna, Anna is also changing Lu Li.

  If it was the first Lu Li, he might have stood in front of Old Henry when he had some guesses and told him the possible ending of his son, instead of doing it relatively euphemistically before leaving.

  Ana stared blankly at the rain and fog shrouded behind her for a while, and withdrew her gaze.

   Looking back at Lu Li, he lit the oil lamp and sat on the edge of the carriage, holding the reins in one hand and opening a local newspaper he bought before leaving the city in the other.

  The wind brought by the running of the carriage went against Lu Li, and the newspaper in his hand kept turning over, preventing him from reading.

   "I'll drive." Anna said.

"Um."

   Lu Li returned to the carriage and left the reins to Anna.

   Perhaps because the newspaper is a local paper, Baron Joseph does not appear on it. But the first edition is also not the Immortal Giant, but the theft of an oil painting called "Hope".

  【The world famous painting "Hope" exhibited at the Woody Museum was stolen last night】

   removes some kind of metaphor "hope is lost" in the theft, this news appeared on the first page only because this is the art capital of Shymfast.

  The second edition of the news is the disappearance of the Immortal Giant without any new news - it would be inaccurate to say that there is no new news, because the Lennon Islands sent three more warships.

   Then came the local news from Shymfast, and the cry for help from the alley didn't come up.

   Putting away the newspaper, Lu Li found that he had nothing to do. He slept so much these two days that it was difficult to rest at this time, not even to take a nap.

   I opened the curtains of the carriage, and the light rain outside was a little heavier than when I left Shymfast a few minutes ago.

   The weather shown in the newspaper is moderate rain, tomorrow will be heavy rain.

   and Mutant Rain.

   At this moment, Anna, who was driving the carriage ahead, suddenly exclaimed.

   "Ah the crow!"

   turned his head to look, a shadow in the rain and fog came quickly and landed on Anna's shoulders from far to near.

"Hi……"

  The motionless Anna greeted cautiously.

   is the result of the [screaming for help in the alley] incident?

  Lu Li took out the note from the black crow's leg and unfolded it under the oil lamp.

  【Mr. Investigator, you are stopping/passing the eastern part of the Allen Peninsula】

  【It is expected that abnormal rain will fall in this area from this evening to the middle of tomorrow night, please be prepared in advance】

  【If you are willing to take action at this time to maintain the peace and stability of the region, we will be grateful]

  【Remarks: You can turn to the back of the note for details about Mutant Rain】

   is not the result of the incident, but it is not bad, it just brought Lu Li the information of the rain of mutation.

  【Rain of Mutation: Transform some special objects in the shrouded area into weirdness. Special objects include but are not limited to: items that hold emotions, places where the atmosphere of the world is shrouded, and people with low sanity points]

  【Countermeasure: Do not get caught by rain】

  Rain of Mutation has a way to avoid it like a dark night, and relatively cheap, everyone can do it - as long as you don't get wet.

   Put away the note, Lu Li said to Black Crow, "Nothing else."

   "dumb—"

   The black crow made a piercing scream and spread its wings.

   "Woo my ears..."

  Anna pinched her ears in pain and whimpered, and muttered viciously, "I don't like crows anymore!"

   complained for a while, then Anna was taken away and asked Lu Li what was written on it.

After    Lu Li told her about the Mutated Rain, she placed an umbrella over her head to prevent the rain from falling on her body.

   Although it is not Rain of Mutation now.

   Although she is a ghost.

   Although there is already a thin film outside her soul.

  The road that the carriage travels leads to Magic Bird Town and Belfast, and on the road Lu Liao encounters carriages coming from the former two or going to the former two from time to time. The calm lasted for dozens of minutes, and was suddenly dispelled by the rapid sound of hooves behind him.

  Lu Li and Anna looked back at the rear of the car. A few figures from a hundred meters away under the rain curtain ran wildly on their horses. After a few seconds, they caught up with Lu Li's carriage and stopped them.

  Anna disappeared, Lu Li in the carriage pulled the reins and looked up at a few figures.

   "We are Shymfast Police Department, you—"

   The figure in the raincoat on the horse stopped suddenly, and he saw a three-eyed black crow badge that Lu Li took out.

   This thing he has seen a lot in recent months, like the group of guys in black uniforms, belongs to a special organization——

   His tone became polite: "Your Excellency Investigator, I'm really sorry for blocking the road, may I ask if you see anyone with suspicious behavior?"

   "Are you looking for the person who stole the oil painting?" Lu Li asked.

  Lu Li was an investigator, so he would not be suspected of the theft of the oil painting.

"Yes."

   "I didn't see it."

   "Okay, then we continue to look for the murderer." The young police officer said, pulling the reins and chasing his companions forward.

   The stalled wheel turns again.

  Anna emerged from behind Lu Li, looked at the figures that disappeared in the rain, and tilted her head to look at Lu Li thoughtfully: "What are you thinking?"

   "I was wondering if we would meet the person or group of people who stole the painting in front of us." Lu Li said.

   "This kind of plot sounds familiar...I'm looking for it." Anna retracted the carriage and turned over her romance novel. A few minutes later, Anna shouted "I found it" and rushed to Lu Li's side, and read out the text on the page: "He met a thief who stole his belongings on the road, the thief thought he would be like everyone else, Shouting 'you're a **** thief!' 'I'm going to take you to the police station to punish you!', but he didn't, and he graciously asked the thief if he was in trouble, if he needed help - oh he was so kind, to As for the thief being moved by him, he took off his hood, revealing a beautiful face—"

  Anna suddenly became silent and closed the page with a bang.

  The carriage returned to calm, except for the faint sound of rain falling on the surroundings.

   Until ten minutes later, a stagnant motorcade appeared in front of them. Some people in the motorcade looked not far away and whispered, as if the police had caught the thief who stole the oil painting.

  Anna's eyes narrowed gradually.

   What was happening in the distance under the rain curtain could not be seen clearly, but at some point, a high-pitched scream echoed over the area.

   "They're here! The world is about to be destroyed! We have no hope!!! We'll all die you idiots—"

The    voice stopped abruptly, as if his mouth was gagged.

  The crowd watching the fun retreated into the carriage and murmured.

   "He's a lunatic, don't look at it."

   There is only one person, a ghost doesn't think so.

  The policeman on horseback passed by with a carriage, and the line up resumed traffic.

   "Will everything we do be too late?" Anna's tone was worried.

   Lu Li did not change at all.

   "Do your best and obey the destiny."
