Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 29 Twenty-nine. Farewell

  …

   murmurs echoed from that space, Lu Li gathered his mind and put the psychic gun in the holster, but his palm did not leave the handle.

   Athena stared at Lu Li, or behind Lu Li.

   Anna, who was holding the ghost baby, floated from behind, which may be one of the reasons why Athena regained her clarity.

   "Do you still hate it?" Lu Li asked.

   The scarlet eyes in Athena's long hair turned to Lu Li, without saying a word.

   "Give her the baby back." Lu Li tilted his head and said to Anna.

   "Oh." Anna obeyed obediently, approached Athena with some fear, stopped a meter or two away, suddenly threw the ghost baby over, and quickly floated back to Lu Li to hide.

   Her fear of ghosts is unlikely to be corrected for a while.

  Athena subconsciously caught the flying blood-red fetus. She lowered her head slightly and saw the ghost baby shrinking in her arms without any fear, and stretched out two pairs of small hands to grab her hair.

   The pair of scarlet pupils gradually softened, and the emotion called maternal love was nurturing.

   "I think she might kill the baby..." Anna leaned into Lu Li's ear and said, watching Athena gently caressing the baby's cheek, feeling that she might suddenly strangle the baby at any time.

   "Then you throw it away." Lu Li said without turning his head.

  Anna mumbled a little aggrieved: "You didn't let this happen."

  Lu Li ignored Anna and said to Athena, "Can you control your emotions?"

  The ghost baby's face drew a circle, and after a while, a hoarse and cold voice sounded from the drooping head: "I was blinded by hatred before...not now."

   "...I met him two years ago."

   Athena slowly recounted her past with her husband.

  Lu Li frowned indiscernibly—to be honest, Lu Li hated this kind of behavior when everything was finally resolved, and the core characters began to talk about their psychological journey.

   For example, in the earth period, after cooperating with the police to arrest the prisoner, the prisoner often talks about the past.

   Normally, Lu Li would stop him in time, but this time the protagonist was a ghost. Lu Li was not sure if Athena would lose her mind again after he stopped it.

   Let her say she has nothing to lose.

  Lu Li thought so, and left the handle of the gun with his palm, just keeping his posture that he could grab the psychic gun at any time.

   "Bill Eddy joined the textile mill a few months after me. He was clumsy when he first came in and was often punished by the supervisor..."

In   Athena's narrative, Lu Li walked around behind her and walked to the sculpture. It remained on the ground, motionless, and some gravel powder fell between the broken arms of its body.

  Lu Li lifted the sculpture up and picked up the broken arm. The fractured gravel showed that it was indeed a sculpture.

  Although it is impossible to understand why the sculpture can bend the body like a human, it is as fragile as plaster after a fall.

  Lu Li put the broken arm in the arms of the sculpture and said, "I will find someone to help you connect it after dawn."

   But at this moment, a mutation protruded.

   An aura full of malice and resentment erupted behind him!

   Lu Li's black eyes shrank, and he rolled to the side subconsciously. During the rolling process, he pulled out the psychic gun. The moment he stood firm, his arms stretched out, and the psychic gun was aimed at Athena's back.

  The trigger was not pulled.

The raging breath was wanton, but Athena did not attack, her hoarse voice came from the abyss, making people shudder: "He attacked me like crazy, hammered my stomach, no matter how I begged, he was indifferent... He shouted loudly. Cursing me, saying me and the child killed him... just like that, he smashed my stomach with his fists and strangled me..."

   Knowing that Athena was just emotional outbursts, Lu Li put away the psychic gun.

   At this moment, she turned her head to look at Lu Li, her eyes that were still bloodshot were no longer resentful, only calm.

   "I feel its kindness to you, to me... Where did you find it?"

  Lu Li returned to Anna, whose eyes were reddish with sadness and anger, and replied calmly, "It's near the gallery. It's been by your side all the time, but you've always harbored malice towards it, so you're avoiding you."

   "Do you want to approach but dare not approach." Anna muttered like a literary girl.

   Athena was silent for a few seconds, and her face was no longer hideous, showing a hint of bitterness, and gently stroked the face of the ghost baby. "Is it too late to say sorry now... To the children, to those who have been hurt by me, to you..."

   "Why apologize?"

   Lu Li suddenly tilted his head, a little puzzled.

   Athena and Anna were stunned at the same time.

  Lu Li continued: "No need to say sorry, you did the right thing."

  Two eyes fell on Lu Li at the same time, Anna was full of shock - although the contact time was not long, she could see Lu Li's cold attitude towards everyone, and now he is comforting... Could this guy have a crush on Athena! ?

  Lu Li looked calm and simply stated a fact: "Bystanders will always persuade the client to be generous and to let go of everything. But they don't think about the pain the client suffers - because the pain belongs to someone else and has nothing to do with them."

   "You haven't hurt innocent people, so you're right, and so is the child."

"thanks, thanks…"

  I don't know when, Athena was already in tears, mixed with blood.

   She thanked her in a hoarse voice, her coldness and resentment gradually dissipating. The figure also disappeared and became transparent.

   "You are now..." Lu Li suddenly said.

   "I plan to leave with the child. Maybe to hell, maybe to heaven." Athena smiled softly.

   "Can you wait?" Lu Li said, raising his holster. "Can you let me deal with you personally?"

   "...?" Anna looked like she had seen a ghost.

   While the two ghosts were puzzled, Lu Li explained: "The psychic gun can increase its power by destroying ghosts. But don't worry, I can confirm that you have the same effect as being sent by it."

   Maybe Lu Li got rid of her, Athena nodded lightly: "So troublesome."

  Lu Li took out his psychic gun and took the lead to aim at the ghost baby's eyebrows.

  Anna turned around, not having the guts to look.

   As he was about to pull the trigger, Lu moved in a heartbeat, turned the muzzle, held the barrel, and knocked down the psychic gun as a hammer.

   The **** scene did not happen. Just like the effect of a bullet hitting a ghost, the ghost baby had blood-colored bubbles all over its body, as if it was vaporized, and it dissipated in panic.

   Lu Li turned the muzzle, aimed at Athena's eyebrows, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

  !

   The silver-plated bullet that came out of the chamber penetrated into Athena's eyebrows, and the blood bubbles boiled, spreading to the whole body in a blink of an eye.

   The first rose of the flintlock gun body is nearly half blooming.

  The last moment Athena's figure dissipated, Lu Li's everlasting calm voice faintly rang in his ears.

   "Don't worry, I will send your husband down to accompany you."
