Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 491 Sixty-eight. Confrontation

  The staff of the joint organization hiding in the money hiding place told Lu Li that it was not Richard who appeared.

  Because the height does not match the body shape, they ruled out the possibility of makeup and are following the person.

   Lu Li told them to follow, hung up the phone and walked out of the phone booth.

   "Go ahead or turn back." Anna asked.

"continue."

   got on the carriage, and Lu Li took the reins.

  …

  Watching Town, the last time I came here was not long after I arrived in this world.

   That was not the first time Lu Li had come into contact with weirdness, but the first time he had come into contact with the eerie darkness of this world.

   After half an hour, the carriage drove into Watch Town.

  Because it is backed by Watching Town, it has become one of the few towns that remains prosperous.

   Hades, the exorcist whom    first met, moved here, but Lu Li was not aiming for him, nor for this town.

   Crossed the town of Watchmen, contacted the Exorcist United Organization again at the phone booth on the side of the street, and after confirming that Richard had not yet appeared, the carriage went straight to the abandoned madhouse in the suburbs.

   After a while, the building standing in the wilderness appeared in sight.

  Anna was also looking there, with a touch of reminiscence.

  The last time she came, she was just a weak ghost who would drag her back and need to be protected by him.

The    madhouse still maintains the appearance of being abandoned. The muddy paths are covered with rotting leaves, the windows are all broken, and the mottled walls have traces of vines climbing.

  Richard knew of Anna's existence, but he didn't know Anna's current power, so Anna hid in the inner world and waited for an opportunity.

   Parked the carriage outside the lunatic asylum garden, Lu Li carried the oil lamp and walked through the garden to the steps.

  Broken glass and stones were trampled, and the crisp noise disturbed the silence of the insane asylum.

   A cordon was formed in front of the gate of the lunatic asylum. Since Lu Li escaped from here last time and contacted the police station, the place has been blocked by the police.

   bowed his head and walked through the cordon to enter the hall. Lu Li turned to the right passage of the lunatic asylum, and a wall full of strange graffiti appeared.

   The scribbled eyeball that Lu Li had been waiting for was still on the wall, and Lu Li, who was enlightened, looked at the other graffiti—the **** tentacles surrounded by seaweeds, the blood dripping flesh. The scribbles like children's random scribbles are abstract, but they are enough for Lu Li to form an answer.

   The answer to the mystery lies in the mystery.

   Stepping through the passage full of **** and debris, Lu Li came to the stairs.

   The last time the police dealt with has cleared the stairs that blocked the access to the basement, stopped briefly under the broken steps on the second floor, and Lu Li stepped into the gradually darkened basement.

  ——

   When walking down the last step, Lu Li mentioned a rope that was hidden in the darkness and stumbling across. The rope tensed, and a cracking sound rang out from the darkness.

The    outline rushes into the range of the oil lamp, revealing the outline of the bucket. When he was still half a meter away from Lu Li, he hit an invisible wall of air and fell over, spilling a bucket of clean water.

  Whoa——

  The water flowing along the protective cover briefly distorted Lu Li's vision of observing the surroundings, narrowed his black eyes slightly, and Lu Li observed the darkness farther away.

   Nothing came out of the darkness.

  The empty bucket swayed overhead by the rope, Anna found a piece of cloth at the bottom of the bucket and took it out.

   "There is a note."

  Ana handed it to Lu Li.

   Holding up the oil lamp, a line of distorted content was written on the wet strip of cloth that was soaked with water.

  【This is just a small punishment, go further, your life will no longer belong to you】

   "A child's prank." Anna sneered.

   But this is indeed Richard's style. After all, he had just sold himself two hours ago for some shillings.

   But Anna didn't want the enemy who framed Lu Li to be too easy to deal with: "But it may also be a trap that makes you careless."

   Lu Li knew this very well, but the note reminded Lu Li that there might be danger ahead waiting for Lu Li.

   Throwing down the cloth, Lu Li started to return to the same path, back to the gray corridor on the first floor.

   "Aren't we going to the basement level to explore?"

   "Another way." Lu Li said.

   He wasn't going to personally test Richard's traps, whether they were childish pranks or deadly traps.

  Lu Li asked Anna to stack flammable branches or sticks on the last floor of the steps leading to the basement, drizzle some kerosene, and set it on fire.

  The flames rose gradually, and the pungent smoke twisted and rose, gradually filling the surrounding space.

  If Richard was in the basement, he wouldn't be able to endure the smog - even if he could, his character would have nothing to do with forbearance.

   Those who know how to forbear do not take risks and send provocative letters.

  The fire was getting bigger and bigger. The heat wave and smoke kept forcing Lu Li to retreat. The fire seemed to have ignited other things in the abandoned insane asylum. Even the walls began to emit smoke, covering the corridor like a haze.

   Realizing that the entire abandoned insane asylum might be set on fire, Lu Li retreated to the garden.

  The fire spread quickly. The cold and rainy days of the past few days did not prevent the flames from burning. The black smoke rising from the damp wood gathered in the sky above the madhouse, and the thick smoke pillars were clearly visible from a few miles away.

   It won’t take long before you come, and the police station in Watch Town will find out what’s going on here and send someone here.

  Lu Li waited quietly, waiting for the smoke to fill the madhouse and force Richard out.

  If he hides here.

  The fire is no longer enough to satisfy the basement, and there is a faint fire in the smoke on the first floor.

  Smoke has filled the entire insane asylum, and the courtyard is quietly looking up.

  A new change appeared, and a figure suddenly flashed through a still intact window.

   It was no longer an illusion caused by rising smoke, Lu Li stared, seeing the figure becoming clearer, opened the window and dropped a rope.

  Richard appears.

   He was not hiding in the basement, but on the third floor of the lunatic asylum.

  Richard's news is true, he really betrayed himself.

  Ana's eyes turned cold, the fox who had escaped repeatedly and hid with Lu Li finally showed up.

   The breath was brewing, and he attacked Richard, who seemed to be coughing violently as he stepped out of the window dozens of meters away. But the next moment, her brows furrowed.

   "My strength can't get close to him..."

  In the deep perception, an indescribable strange aura twisted Richard's whole body.

   "Maybe it has something to do with the remnant of the ancient **** on him." Lu Li said while looking at Richard on the rope.

  Richard moved down, and an angry shout echoed in the abandoned garden: "You fouled!"

   "This is against the rules... You actually burned this place!"

   "It's worth it to force you out." Lu Li replied.

  Richard finally climbed to the bottom of the rope before the fire spread upstairs, jumped down, and landed in front of the steps.

   But he didn't notice a stone under his feet, his ankle twisted outwards, and Richard, who was unstable, rolled down the stairs with a scream.

As Lu Li watched, Richard, who kept screaming, rolled all the way to the bottom of the steps, his face covered in blood.

"I surrender!"

  The miserable Richard raised his hand and screamed.
