Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 429 Six. The Whale's Farewell

   After a long time, Tesla still hasn't come back.

During the    period, the waiter entered the carriage and told Tesla that the situation had changed, and he had to get off at the platform in front of the "madman" corpse.

   Half an hour later, the steam train slowly stopped in front of the platform of a small town called "Wheatfield Town".

  chi——

After the    vibration, the carriage became calm, and Lu Li looked out the window to the platform. The crowd with heavy luggage on the platform was in a panic and panic, and avoided the outside.

   Several figures with beak masks appeared on the edge of the car window, and they carried a simple stretcher covered with white cloth and walked out.

  The weight of the stretcher and the outline of the white cloth silently tell that there is a corpse that has no temperature.

  Tesla's figure appeared, he raised his hand and buckled his wide-brimmed hat, grabbed his cane, and hurriedly followed the beak mask figure and the corpse to leave the platform.

   He didn't even have time to turn his head to say goodbye to Lu Li who was behind the car window.

   "Did you feel anything?" Lu Li asked without looking back.

   Qiaoqiao, who was lying in front of the other row of windows, turned her head and glanced, and found that Lu Li was not talking to herself.

   "The strong atmosphere of the inner world makes me feel like a wraith..." Anna murmured in her ears and added, "I don't want you to be involved."

   "Well, no."

   Lu Li, who completed the Shadow Town incident by himself, needs to rest.

  Tesla knew this too, so he didn't call Lu Li for help.

   Or because Lu Li couldn't help with this matter.

  The steam train stayed at the Maitian Town platform for nearly 20 minutes, waiting for passengers to fully board the train. After the front of the train was replenished with coal, black smoke billowed from the chimney.

   Amidst the resounding whistle, the train moved slowly.

   A few minutes later, Maitian Town was no longer visible from the window, and the feeling of pressure on the back disappeared in the carriage that maintained a constant speed.

  Jojo left the seat, walked through the bumpy carriage with the seat, and sat opposite Lu Li.

  Lu Li raised his eyes to look at her: "What are you going to do next?"

   The hand that was removing the coffee cup stopped, and Qiaoqiao hesitantly withdrew her hand and said, "I don't want to live up to my brother's expectations... So let's go back to the academy to continue studying."

  Lu Li looked at Fran again.

   "Uh...I don't know...Shadow Town is gone, I may be placed in Rose Town or a nearby city." Fran's answer was also confused about the future.

   This is not a bad thing, at least they are still confused.

   "What do you want to say to us?" Qiao Qiao suddenly asked, Lu Li is not someone who cares about others.

   may sound a bit ambiguous, but to be more specific, it should be that Lu Li is not someone who shows concern for others.

"A relative of Anna wants to go to the Lennon Islands, where it is relatively..." Lu Li, who suddenly remembered the crazy talk in the next compartment, paused slightly, and resumed his words: "...safe, if you want to leave here, you can go together. "

   These words did not seem to be convincing in the traces left by the previous lunatic, but Qiao Qiao believed in Lu Li, she thought about it for a while, and shook her head apologetically: "I still can't, I want to fulfill my brother's expectations."

   She patted Fran on the seat across the aisle sideways: "If you don't have a place to go, you can hang out with me."

  Jojo is several years younger than Fran, but she does show the temperament of a big sister now.

  Fran forced an ugly smile.

   "How about you, are you going to the Lennon Islands?" Jojo asked.

   Lu Li didn't answer, he was thinking.

   Ignoring the ominous prophecy of the madman, the Lennon Islands are a great place to escape danger, although Luli's refuge is nearly complete.

   They have their own advantages and disadvantages.

   In a dark jungle full of dangers, hiding in the shadows and facing the darkness and danger is an option. Lighting a fire to keep warm beside a false warm safety flame is also an option.

  The former is a refuge, the latter is the Lennon Islands.

   "Perhaps."

   Lu Li didn't give Qiaoqiao an accurate answer.

   Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes, looking for something around Lu Li, and asked softly, "Sister Anna... is she okay?"

  Indifferent words came from the void beside Lu Li: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

  Jojo pursed her lips and nodded, feeling that the ghost lady was becoming indifferent.

   She left her seat not long after misunderstanding something, and stopped bothering Lu Li and went to sit in the front row.

   The slightly swaying carriage, the soft seats and the warm fireplace made one feel sleepy. Fran quickly fell asleep on the table, and Lu Li also closed his eyes and took a nap.

  Whoa——

   The door of the carriage was pushed open, and he stepped into the carriage.

  Lu Li opened his eyes and looked at the waiter who came with an oil lamp. She told Lu Li that the steam train was about to pass through the tunnel, although electric lights would be on in the carriage at that time, but just in case, a spare oil lamp would need to be lit.

  Loli took the oil lamp and asked if the steam train would pass through Shymfast, the answer was no, the train would go along the coast all the way to Belfast. But they could get off at Maple Leaf, which was the closest to Shymfast, less than forty miles.

   Ten minutes after the waiter left, a dim electric light was lit in the carriage.

  Lu Li struck a match to light the oil lamp and put it on the table to fix it.

   After a few minutes, the car window suddenly fell into darkness, and Lu Li's face was reflected on the glass.

   There was a strange silence in the carriage at the same time. Bad things usually happen at this point in the story. However, when the light outside the window was restored, and the light suddenly became clear, the thing that Qiaoqiao was worried about did not happen.

   "Look... it's the sea."

   heard Anna's whisper, and Lu Li, who had extinguished the oil lamp, looked out the window again.

After    crossed the low mountain, the vast lead-grey sea appeared in front of him.

The    train has reached the north coast of the Allen Peninsula.

   "We only stayed in Shadow Town for half a day...so many things happened."

  Lu Li looked out the window, the car window seemed to reflect the beautiful face of an illusory girl.

  Ana whispered softly, "Lu Li... I don't want you to take any more risks."

   "You want to go to the Lennon Islands?"

"Um."

   "Then contact Daisy when we go back to see if she is willing to go to the Lennon Islands with us."

"it is good."

  Anna's answer added a touch of warmth.

   She continued to look at the sea, and at a certain moment, she saw a shadow of a ship parallel to the train in the distance on the sea covered by fog.

  It is gradually approaching the shoreline, the mottled hull and the broken chimney bring a familiar feeling of deja vu.

   "That big ship is us in the swamp..." Anna whispered.

"Um."

   Anna, who received the answer, quietly watched the big ship, which was swimming on the sea like a graceful whale freed.

  More and more people on the train found the strange ship on the sea. They crowded by the window, watching the rusted cruise ship with curiosity and fear.

   Soon, the exorcist who got the news on the train began to observe the cruise ship of unknown origin, but soon, it gradually moved away from the coastline and disappeared into the fog in the distance.
