Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 442 Nineteen. Farewell to the Detective Agency

  Leaving the gate of the lively manor, the carriage drove on the quiet agate lakeside path.

   This is not the way to leave. Before returning to the detective agency, Lu Li still has to visit Tesla.

   However, Lu Li was blocked from the garden by the closed gate, and the window did not shine. The guards guarding this area told Lu Li that Tesla left the house with his family and servants earlier today.

  Lu Li probably guessed where Tesla was going—the shelter.

   But Tesla shouldn’t have been in such a hurry.

   Could it be that something happened before the morning that Lu Li didn't know about?

   In any case, Tesla's early departure is a sign of something, and Lu Li has to hurry up.

   Don't waste any more time, drive the carriage straight back to the detective agency.

   During their absence, Aunt Mary built the stove. The three ferry tickets have been sent by the postman and are sitting on the desk.

   "I bought some ingredients, and it will be ready soon." The aroma of the food came out of the kitchen, said Aunt Mary in an apron, looking at the desk at the same time.

   In addition to the ticket, there is a black raven and a package on the desk.

   "I'll help." Ana said, emerging from the inner world.

   She knew that Lu Li didn't eat anything at the farewell banquet of Irene - just so she could learn how to cook from Aunt Mary.

   "Go to Daisy first." Lu Li said, walking towards the raven in front of the desk.

   Telephone lines in the Belfast area have been restored.

  Ana turned the dial, and Lu Li took off the note on the raven's leg, which read Lu Li's performance and rewards in the [Shadow Town Incident], as well as his new title.

  【The person who sounded the death knell of the evil god】

The title of    has no substantive effect, similar to the titles of nobility granted by the royal family, such as Viscount Rose Luna on the Mountains; Violet Star Count Roland.

  Irene has been awarded the title: King of Belkin Baker, which means the richest man in Belfast.

The title    will follow Lu Li. When Lu Li appears at an exorcist party or mentions his name at a formal occasion, when he is introduced, he will become: The Person Who Tolls the Death Knell of the Cthulhu, Senior Investigator, Lu Li.

   In addition, his weekly salary was raised from 700 shillings to 1400 shillings.

   Quickly skipped the summary of the event, paused slightly on the string of numbers at the end, and looked at the last line of text.

  【The recognition for your outstanding performance and what you need has come with the raven. 】

  Lu Li didn't rush to open the package, he opened the kraft paper bag on the dining table, tore off a piece of hot white bread and put it in front of the raven, and then tore off the waterproof kraft paper outside the package.

   A worn holster and a black raven badge lie quietly in the box.

  The former is badly worn and seems to have been taken directly from a police officer who has worked for decades. There are many strange scratches on the holster that do not look like humans, and they combine into a strange symbol.

   When Lu Li picked it up, an emotion called "stable" grew in his heart, and the pitch-black projection that was wriggling and muddy outside the window actually dimmed a bit.

   Only this effect can suppress the "salvation" of the three roses fully blooming.

  Lu Li took out the suitcase in the corner of the bedroom, the sanity counter slowly accelerated, opened the box, and quickly put "Salvation" into the holster.

The moment    gripped the gun body, the "clucking" sound of the counter rang out in a tingling manner, but as the holster was retracted, the noise returned to slowness again.

   But this time, the sound of the counter that didn't disappear is not related to "salvation"...

  Seeing this scene, Anna's eyes drooped slightly, she put it back on the microphone, and said softly to Lu Li, "No one answers the phone in the college, and neither does her home."

   "Where does she live?"

  Anna shook her head gently: "I don't know, but we don't have to look for him, I think she will take care of herself."

  Lu Li's black eyes stayed on Anna's body, nodded and looked at the last item in the box: the new investigator badge.

Lu Li took out the badge in his pocket. The three-eyed black crow badge lying in the box had already filled the second eye, and was different from the copper-colored one-eyed black crow in his hand. In the eye sockets of the new badge, both eyeballs turned silver. color.

  The color of the eyes represents Lu Li's status as a senior investigator, and the increase in the number means that Lu Li has been promoted from "exorcist" to "exorcist".

   The third empty eyeball represents the highest rank, "Witcher".

  Lu Li was holding two badges. At this moment, the raven who was pecking bread crumbs suddenly made a loud cry different from that of a crow. He pecked away the old badge in Lu Li's hand and swallowed it with his head up.

  “…”

  Ana quietly dissipated the protection from Lu Li.

   Lu Li guessed that this was some kind of recycling method, put away the new badge, raised his arm, and after the raven fluttered its wings and landed, he sent it out of the longhouse.

   Returning to the corridor and walking outside the door, Lu Li suddenly realized that the simple doll beside the door was gone.

   Maybe some kid who forgot before took it.

  Lu Li pushed open the door, just as his inner thoughts emerged, a timid voice came from the other side of the corridor.

   "Mr. Lu Li."

   A little boy was standing at the door of a room, holding the bear doll he had placed by the door in his hand.

  Lu Li remembered the little boy, the child of the woman who knocked on the door the day before they went to Shadow Town and asked for some canned food.

   The little boy walked up to Lu Li, held up the bear doll, and blocked his face.

   "My sister asked me to give it to you."

  Lu Li didn't pick up the doll and asked, "She's cured?"

   After a while of silence, the little boy's raised hands quietly fell, revealing a pair of red eyes, sniffing and saying, "Sister... went to another place..."

   "Thank her for the gift."

   Lu Li reached out and took the doll.

   The little boy didn't say anything, turned and ran back to his house, the door closed.

  Lu Li glanced down at Little Bear's button eyes and took it back to the detective agency.

   Anna, who heard the whole process, did not speak, but just looked at Lu Li quietly.

  The food was ready in a few minutes. Taking advantage of the space, Lu Li put the clothes into the suitcase, together with the simple doll.

   Buttoned up the suitcase, the door of the detective agency was suddenly knocked.

   After opening the door, Jojo and Fran with backpacks and suitcases appeared outside the door.

   Lu Li asked Qiaoqiao's purpose, although he had already guessed it.

   "I figured it out, I'm going to the Lennon Islands with you!" Jojo said with a sunny smile, as if she had escaped from Oliver's death.

"And I!"

  Fran echoed loudly like a follower.

  It is hard to imagine that Fran, who is several years older than Jojo, has become Jojo's "little brother".

"Um."

   They came just in time. Packing up the cooked food, Lu Li and the others left the detective agency with their luggage and got on the carriage.

   Sitting in front of the carriage, Lu Li took a deep look at the longhouse, the place where he has lived since he came to this world.

"Let's go."

   retracted his gaze, Lu Li pulled the reins, and the moving horse hooves slowly led them away from Sailor Street.
