Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 375 Two hundred and ninety. Departure

   There was a murmur of boiling water in the kitchen.

   "You stay." Lu Li left his seat and said to Anna who had been looking here.

  The smile on Anna's delicate face disappeared: "I want to follow you, don't think about going alone."

   "I'll take you there, but I'm going to the base now."

   He has to figure out what happened to Shadowtown and Elm Forest.

"Oh."

  Anna, who knew she had misunderstood, answered honestly, "When are you coming back?"

"soon."

   Picking up the woolen coat on the hanger and putting it on, Lu Li remembered something and said to Anna, "You haven't been in touch with Daisy for a long time."

   "Daisy..."

   The last time I contacted Daisy seems to have been a long time ago. Anna found that she did not miss this former friend too much, but she still replied: "I will contact her when I come back."

   After all, this is Lu Li's rare initiative to care.

  Lu Li nodded. The last time Daisy contacted her was before the shadow of the thread. She said that her professor got a bard's diary, and it became a bit strange after that.

   Daisy never called again after that, not sure if the professor thing was over, or if something bad happened that prevented her from calling, like... death.

  Kacha——

   Lu Li, who left, closed the door.

  Anna went into the kitchen and poured out half of the boiling water in the pot.

   Leaving Belfast in two hours, so don't have to do the evening's share.

   The remaining half pot of water sat back on the stove, Anna put on her apron, and hummed something to handle the ingredients.

  …

  The rain was isolated outside the Anres Brothers pit.

  The streets seem to be turned into rivers, and the water from the upstream streets passes through the coastal streets and flows to the beach.

  A figure in a poncho walked into the pit in bad weather.

"welcome."

   Seeing the figure, he took off his poncho and hood, revealing his highly recognizable black hair, and the staff who recognized Lu Li smiled and greeted him.

   "Is Tesla there?" Lu Li took off his poncho and hung it on the hanger by the door.

"certainly."

"thanks."

   Walked deep into the store, took out the investigator badge, passed the mural, and Lu Li entered the underground facility.

   When Lu Li saw Tesla, the man who was always elegant was sitting in the seat closest to the fireplace in the lounge area, covered with a thick animal leather blanket that made him look like a savage.

   "Zao Luli, it's really cold today, isn't it?" Tesla's magnetic voice was nasal, and the tip of his hook's nose turned red.

   "It's not too cold." Lu Li sat opposite Tesla.

Tesla wrapped the leather blanket tightly around his body, took a breath and said with emotion: "I used to live in the inland, and the cold there is just pure cold, unlike here, where the moisture penetrates into the flesh and blood along the clothes, blankets and skin, it is almost It's so uncomfortable."

   He muttered like an old man for a while before talking about business: "Let me guess the purpose of your visit, what's the problem this time?"

  Lu Li's seemingly endless questions didn't bother Tesla, on the contrary, he liked people who were always curious.

   "Do you know about Shadow Town?" Lu Li asked.

  Tesla nodded, a little puzzled: "Know something, why do you want to know this?"

   "A friend disappeared there. I'm going to find him."

   "Now?" Tesla frowned, his eyes suddenly turned to one side.

  The approaching alliance personnel put a glass of milk in front of Lu Li—although Lu Li hadn’t asked for it yet.

   "Everyone knows your preferences." Tesla joked.

   "Is it made by the Swamp Mother?" Lu Li asked, he didn't have time to chat.

  Tesla said sternly: "This is the problem. It seems that it was another evil **** who caused the Shadow Town to lose contact."

  Zernst City is not too far from Shadow Town, and the distance of more than 80 miles is enough for people to go back and forth once a day.

  So when the news of Shadow Town's loss came out, the exorcists thought it was a "horrific faceless giant" who appeared in Shadow Town. However, the nearby exorcists went to investigate and did not find the figure of the "terrifying faceless giant". What enveloped Shadow Town was another unfamiliar and evil aura - different from that of the Swamp Mother.

  According to the current information, it seems that a new evil **** has appeared in Shadow Town, and the evil **** "Mother Swamp" is in the shadow swamp adjacent to it.

   "That's why it happened there," Tesla said.

   "They are hostile." Lu Li continued following Tesla's train of thought.

After    got Tesla's affirmation, Lu left the mouth: "Is the new evil **** related to the residents of Shadow Town?"

  The letter of the beak mask figure has vaguely mentioned that there is a problem with Shadow Town.

   In another version of the "Gate" letter, it is said that the residents of Shadow Town are followers of the "Mother of the Swamp".

   In any case, the current Shadow Town is a place where two evil gods fight.

   "Before their fight is over, it's a restricted area, and it's very dangerous to get close to it. Are you really going?"

   "Has the headquarters announced the Shadow Town incident?" Lu Li's question answered Tesla's question.

   "Hey...here." Tesla sighed and took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Lu Li.

  Lu Li took the parchment paper that was still warm, and unfolded it before his eyes.

  【New event in Shadow Town area: Cthulhu confrontation】

  【Difficulty: Difficult】

  【Information: 38%】

  【Information Known】

  [15%: Shadow Swamp Evil God Swamp Mother and another unknown Evil God confrontation in Shadow Town]

  [10%: The residents of Shadow Town have believed in the unknown evil **** and the mother of the swamp before]

  [8%: The Swamp Mother's family of Shadow Swamp enters Shadow Town]

  【5%: No survivors found on the streets】

  Hard difficulty means that the event corresponds to an investigator at the detective level, who are all excellent investigators who have completed at least nine events of varying difficulty.

   And Lu Lili needs one more event to be promoted to senior investigator.

   "Are you still going now?" Tesla said looking at Lu Li.

  Lu Li quietly read the content on the parchment and pushed it back to Tesla.

   "Well, I promised her."

  Tesla's eyes were mixed with regret and admiration. He regrets Lu Li's risky choice, but at the same time appreciates his firm belief in the face of difficulties.

   "Good luck," Tesla said.

  …

   After drinking the broth, Lu Li put down the wooden bowl.

  Ana skillfully packed up the table, Lu Li went back to the bedroom to take off his shirt and changed the gauze on his abdomen.

   Anna, who was cleaning the pots and dishes, secretly watched this scene through the bedroom and kitchen windows.

   Occasionally, Lu Li raised his head consciously, only to see Anna working seriously.

   The wound no longer bleeds, and the slender two-centimeter-long wound has scabbed over. The gauze was wrapped around it, and Lu Li put on his shirt again.

   At one o'clock in the afternoon, a carriage stopped outside the longhouse, and Jojo arrived.

   "Ready, when will we leave." Jojo, who arrived, looked at Lu Li expectantly.

"Now."
