Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 276 One Hundred Ninety One. Seven Buildings

   A few minutes later, a breeze blew through the dull shop.

   "Only those two houses have problems, I can't perceive the others." Anna's voice rang in her ears and was heard by others.

   "So other houses are safe?" Price analyzed.

  Lu Li doesn't think so: "Not necessarily, this can only mean that consciousness was born in only two [cannibal houses]."

   Like a coffee shop.

   Before the birth of the consciousness of evil things, Anna could not notice anything strange there, only the high inspiration brought by his low sanity value made him hear the sound of the house.

  Price took the file from the team members and returned it to Lu Li: "We will cooperate with you, what will we do next?"

   "33, 63 Elm Street..."

  Lu Li closed the wooden box, muttered to himself, raised his head and said.

   "Go and have a look at No. 93."

  …

   93 Elm Street.

  This is near the end of the street.

  If the rain turns less, maybe you can see the edge of the elm forest 100 meters away.

   No. 93 is a private house with people in the family. When Lu Li ran his fingers across the door, he didn't hear whispers. After knocking on the door, the owner of the house also appeared behind the door safe and sound.

   A team member briefly explained the situation to the residents and entered the room with Lu Li to investigate. When Lu Li touched the wall, floor, sofa and hanger, he didn't hear any sound, and the suspicion of this house was ruled out.

   It seems that the numbers of the first two houses are just a coincidence.

   Leaving the house with no abnormality, Lu Li and others appeared on the street.

  Price almost understood Lu Li's actions, and the voice diluted by the rain came: "It seems that we can only rule out one by one."

  Lu Li nodded, if there is no good way, he can only use a stupid way.

   is not efficient enough, but effective enough.

   In order to save time, the eight-member night watchman team was divided into two groups. Pulis led one group to notify the residents of the entire block to prepare for exploration in advance, and the other group followed Lu Li for protection.

   Starting from No. 118 at the end of Elm Street, Lu Li and others began to investigate one by one.

  From the 114th, the residents who have been notified have already opened their doors to prepare, and the detection speed has accelerated. Lu Li probed down at the speed of one house in thirty seconds.

  The uninhabited house was marked by another group of night watchmen. Lu Li only crossed the door and left after hearing no sound.

   Ten minutes later, the owner of the seventeenth house, 101 Elm Street, was waiting in front of the door.

   passed over the restrained face of the house owner, Lu Li raised his palm and swiped across the door.

   "Hee hee itchy..."

  In the sound of the rain, faint and untraceable laughter came out.

   Lu Li's black eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to look at Matthew, who was following him: "The third one."

  The third [Cannibal House] appeared.

   Matthew understood and beckoned the residents to leave here.

  Lu Li took another stone from another team member, stood in front of the door and threw it into the entrance.

  The stone fell to the ground and made a crisp sound. After bouncing a few times, it rolled out and stopped moving. Lu Li held his breath and listened carefully, a swearing sound was coming from the floor: "This guy actually hit me with a stone!"

   Confirmed without a doubt.

   Matthew asked if there were other people in the house, and then led the resident, who didn't know what happened, to the shop they had commandeered.

   In order to avoid alarming the consciousness that has not yet awakened or born, the night watchman did not inform them of the specific situation.

  The two team members stayed behind to raise the cordon, and the last person followed Lu Li to the next house.

  …

   No. 85 Elm Street, the fourth building [Cannibal House].

  The family of three who lived here was picked up by Price, who came to the store. The residents of the entire block have been notified.

   "Next room."

  The two team members surrounded the cordon, and Lu Li, Price and the others walked to the next building.

  …

   No. 41 Elm Street, the fifth building [Cannibal House].

   In front of the house, Price motioned for the residents to leave, but was resisted—the couple refused to leave their home unless they saw the police—they had never met and believed the identity of the night watchman.

  Price thought for a while, and asked one of his men to go to the nearby police station to find someone, leaving the two to guard the door and accompany Lu Li to the next house.

  Inclement weather makes their movements a lot more concealed and won't attract too much attention.

  …

   No. 10 Elm Street, the sixth building [Cannibal House].

   The owner of this house is a knowledgeable middle-aged man. When Lu Li and the others arrived, he was already waiting under the eaves outside the door with a suitcase and his wife. They were sent to the shop by the night watchman.

  …

   No. 3 Elm Street, Building 7 [Cannibal House].

  It's a pity that Lu Li and the others came late. When they arrived, the consciousness of the evil creature had already awakened. The resident's clothes were spit out of the door and soaked by the rain.

   When the night watchman came to inform us more than ten minutes ago, there was nothing unusual here.

  The first hour after the arrival of the night watchman, all houses in the Elm block were searched.

   There are three awakened evil things, and four evil things that have not awakened.

   "I can't believe there are so many..." Pulis whispered, cold sweat mixed with rain, and slipped from his forehead.

   What is even more frightening is that they are the same evil. This usually means one thing: there may be more of them.

   Lu Li and the others were walking back to the store, and Price said to Lu Li, "I plan to apply for a survey of nearby neighborhoods, what's your opinion?"

   They need to determine as soon as possible whether there are [cannibalistic houses] in other streets. If this phenomenon spreads - the situation will become extremely dire.

"Can."

   With a short reply, Lu Li continued to think.

   Is the birth of these evil things related to the rain of mutation...

   But the appearance of the first [Cannibal House] has nothing to do with the Rain of Mutation.

  In the requisitioned shop, the residents who were brought in huddled in the innermost part of the shop, gathered together and talked in a low voice. The door was pushed open, and the cold wind and the black figure walking in stopped them from talking and looked here at the same time.

   "The police station has arrived?" Pulis asked a team member who was warming up.

   "Well, I arranged for them to stay outside the seven houses where evil things appeared."

   "Matthew, you go to contact the base, tell them the situation here, and let them send help." Pulis ordered his subordinates, took off his poncho, and sat by the window with Lu Li.

   "What should I do next?" Price asked urgently.

   "Do you know about pollutants?" Lu Li raised his eyes to look at him and asked back.

   "Yes, this is the only knowledge we are allowed to know..." Price paused slightly and suddenly realized something: "You suspect..."

   "It's very suspicious." Lu Li nodded: "Tell me about the pollutants."

  Price took a deep breath.

   A team member suddenly interjected: "But my pollutant detector didn't alarm."

  Lu Li's expression didn't change: "It doesn't work all the time, does it?"

  Price smiled bitterly: "Yes, the pollutant detector cannot detect pollutants that do not fluctuate, such as pollutants that do not reduce the sense of reason."

  【House of Cannibals】just doesn't reduce Sanity.
