Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 380 Two hundred and ninety-five. Mind projection

   The depths of the clouds flickered with thunder.

   Qiaoqiao in front of the alley blinked a few times and looked at Lu Li who came back: "It's all over?"

   She had already seen the street lamps slowly lit on the street and the light in the windows of the buildings.

  Here is restored to an ordinary dark alley.

"ended."

  Lu Li picked up the psychic gun in the stagnant water, put it back in the holster, and looked back at Anna, who was sluggishly floating: "Are you okay?"

   "Not very good... Her memory and emotions are simply crazy..." Anna's brows were furrowed, and the distorted consciousness pouring into her mind had not dissipated.

  Anna floated back to Lu Li's side: "How about you? Are you okay?"

  Anna and Jojo didn't see the previous scene.

   "I'm fine."

  Lu Li glanced at her silently, then turned to Qiao Qiao: "How about you?"

  Jojo sighed and said sadly, "I'm fine too, but the food is gone..."

   "It's too late to buy it now."

  Jojo hurriedly said, "I'll go!"

"go together."

  Ana hid in the inner world, while Lu Li and Qiaoqiao walked to Huntley's Delicious Fried Steakhouse.

   On the way, Qiaoqiao thanked Lu Li, and then asked how he found himself: "Did you see the newspaper I left behind?"

"Um."

  Jojo looked happy when she heard the words.

   Back at the restaurant, Jojo asked for another food that was the same as before. For Aunt Mary's sake, Little Huntley, who was hanging the closing sign on the window, made an exception to prepare food for them, as well as a 10% discount.

   Half an hour later, Lu Li and Qiaoqiao, who were holding food, returned to Aunt Mary's house.

  Aunt Mary was worried that Anna and Lu Li had not come back for so long. Seeing that they had returned intact, she breathed a sigh of relief.

   But what made her lost was that Anna and Lu Li were leaving soon.

   After agreeing to resolve the missing contact incident in Shadow Town, they will go to confirm the matter of the Lennon Islands, and Lu Li and Qiaoqiao returned to the carriage.

  Aunt Mary stood at the door to say goodbye, quietly watching the carriage slowly drive into the rain.

  …

The    wagon headed west of Shymfast.

  The fragrant food is spread out in the carriage, and the newspapers of the day are cushioned under it.

   On the slightly swaying carriage, they sat cross-legged in front of the food spread out like a picnic and enjoyed dinner.

   After dozens of minutes, the carriage left Shymfast, and the outside world turned into a rich darkness that could not be dispelled. Joe disguised the rest of the food and filled the oil lamp hanging outside the carriage with kerosene.

   Having done this, she curled up in the corner of the carriage and wrapped herself in her coat.

   "When are we going to Rose Town?" Jojo asked.

   "If you don't have to take a detour, you'll be there tomorrow morning."

  Jojo glanced at the alarm clock, ten minutes before nine o'clock.

   But it's time for bed.

   "I'm going to bed first, good night." Jojo said, pulling up her coat and covering it with her head.

   When Qiaoqiao fell asleep, Anna appeared beside Lu Li.

   She doesn't look very good, her scarlet pupils are like dark red magma, and the light and shade are uncertain.

   "You saw what happened to her?"

  Anna sorted out the words to describe: "And her emotions...like eating colorful poisonous mushrooms..."

  These cluttered and twisted residual memories kept hitting Anna's consciousness, not causing her pain, but making her feel uncomfortable like seasickness.

"this is for you."

  Lu Li took out the love novel that Qiaoqiao had read from his backpack and handed it to Anna.

   "Find something to do as a distraction."

  Lu Li was not worried that Anna couldn't bear the memory of the resentful spirit. The shadow is a projection of the mind, and its meaning is to occupy the shell and consciousness of other existences. This is the only way for her.

   What he is worried about is the consequences of doing so-the more mental projections occupy, the more experiences of others in her mind.

   This is a bit like the man who extended his dreams indefinitely, but different. No matter what identity that person plays in the dream, he knows that "he is himself".

   But Anna can’t, all memories belong to others. Once Anna can’t keep herself clearly and takes advantage of the memories occupied by her, she will be assimilated by these memories.

  If it wasn't for Lu Li to break up the outline and interrupt Anna's occupation, Anna, who devoured all the memories of the resentful spirit, would probably have a big change in her temperament. At that time, Anna was still Anna...and the same woman.

"I see."

  Anna replied gently, took the book from Lu Li, sat beside Lu Li, turned to the last page and read it quietly.

  Lu Li wiped the water-stained mud from Sequences 2 to 4 with a handkerchief, replaced them with new silver-plated bullets, put them in the holster, and put them in the suitcase.

  The suitcase was pushed back into the carriage, Lu Li took off the holster, grabbed the holster and cleaned the stains of Sequence 1 little by little.

   The second rose of the psychic gun quietly bloomed a half.

   The scene in the alley where the scene changed made Lu Li know the ability of the first rose in Sequence 1: Death Recall.

   will stimulate the deepest memory of the soul killed by it, and the effect is lubricious and the resentment spirit that has dissipated has seen it not long ago.

  Each rose on the psychic gun has an ability attached to it, and the ability attached to the rose bloom is relatively random - it is usually related to the monster it has killed.

   However, this ability is not very useful, and Death Retrospect will only work when the monster is dying. In other words, its only function is to let Lu Li know the cause of the existence it killed.

   After wiping the psychic gun, Lu Li silently hung the holster back on his waist, opened his shirt, and checked the wound on his lower abdomen.

  There is no cracking and bleeding, and the itching caused by dampness and scabs is directly ignored by Lu Li.

   After checking the wound, Lu Li, who was not planning to rest, unfolded the map again, and checked the route this time with the dim light of the oil lamp in the slight bump.

The routes chosen by    are the main roads of the Ellen Peninsula. Although they are not paved with bluestone roads like in the city, paving the rammed road with stones can avoid the dilemma of falling into the mud.

   A group of black particles like snowflake noise appeared on the map. They were like a school of fish in the ocean.

   is just an illusion caused by low sanity. Now Lu Li is almost used to the illusion that will appear suddenly. For example, the malicious gaze that flashed past the gap between the stairs, the sound of countless arthropods crawling under the sofa, or the huge silhouette suddenly crossing the road ahead.

  They have almost become a part of Lu Li's life.

   After confirming the route, Lu Li put away the map and prepared to rest.

   With a blanket behind him, Lu Li leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes.

  The slightly swaying carriage became quiet, except for the sound of the storm coming from outside the carriage.

   "Thank you for saving me."

   At a certain moment, Anna, who was quietly looking down at the book, suddenly whispered.

   "What." Lu Li opened his black eyes.

   "What?" Anna raised her head in confusion and looked at Lu Li.

  Anna has no idea what she just said.
