Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 498 Seventy-five. The first test ever

  Richard, who used to be in front of him, was squatting, leaning on the dark red wall phantom that appeared behind him, and whispering something uneasy,

   At the same time, Lu Li raised his eyes and looked forward.

   A strange thick black mist rolled and appeared not far ahead. The black mist was as hazy as blood mixed in. The screams and laughter of the children sounded from not far away, echoing strangely.

   Lu Li also experienced this scene, he followed the instructions on the wall to plug his ears to pass this level safely.

   What would Richard do?

  Whispering Richard froze, looked up nervously and looked in front of the sound, but seemed to be ignorant of the black mist that was moving towards him from a dozen meters away.

   But only very quickly, Richard's eyes filled with fear widened, and he stared at the solid black fog that appeared in his eyes.

  As the blood-stained black mist approached, the voice gradually appeared clearly in the ears.

  Lu Li carefully listened to the movement in the black mist. As a bystander, he was not affected by the projections that had happened.

   It was a cacophony of high-pitched laughter and high-decibel shrieks, with no information mixed in.

  Richard didn't know what to do, until the black fog was only a few meters away from him, then he curled up, closed his eyes and covered his ears.

   Compared to remembering the prompts on the wall, he is more like a subconscious idealistic behavior of extreme fear, just like most ordinary people who encounter strange things when they sleep, they will hide themselves under the quilt.

   But that was never a life-saver to shield people from monsters, it was just a warm, thin fabric.

Luckily   Richard got the answer to this puzzle by mistake. The blood-stained black mist moved past him and dissipated into nothingness. Richard, who was holding his head, maintained this position for a long time before gradually opening his eyes.

   got up from the ground and Richard continued forward.

   The second level is approaching.

  An ordinary wooden door appeared a few meters in front of him, and Richard, with a hunched back, stopped, staring at the door with dull eyes uneasily.

   The next moment, the wooden door was pushed open from the inside.

   Children in colourful clothes ran out from behind the door, hopping and running towards Richard.

   Or they would be better described as child-shaped monsters.

   Their facial features are twisted together, some have eyes on their foreheads, and some have noses on their chins, but all of them have four or five mouths on their faces.

   "Let's go, let's go out to play~" "Let's go to the slide, and hide and seek~" "My mother bought a new fairy tale book." "I'll treat you to snacks."

   Noisy words came from those mouths.

   "Go away! You monsters!"

  Richard, who was almost in a breakdown, shouted, and finally stopped moving forward, turned and ran back.

   If he continued to run, he might pass through Lu Li who was following behind. But the scarlet blood-colored slogan that appeared on the wall beside him made him subconsciously stop.

【Do not look back! ! ! Do not look back! ! ! Do not look back! ! ! 】

   The disturbing scrutiny of the repetition warned Richard.

  The monster-like children behind him approached Richard, pulled up his hands, grabbed the corners of his clothes, pushed his back, and chattered to lead Richard, who was awake from a dream, doing useless resistance, to the wooden door.

  Behind the door is the bright sunshine, the gentle breeze with the smell of grass and the sound of laughter.

   Compared with the blood-red walls full of depression and restlessness, the scenery behind the door will make people more wary. Richard thought about this for a while, and then his eyes touched the monsters around him, and he suddenly woke up.

   "Give me death, no one can bully me anymore, no one can!!!"

  The inexplicable power that suddenly emerged from the depths of his body made Richard break free from the shackles of the "children" and waved his fists around him excitedly.

   He was just throwing his fists at random. The strength of the thin body seemed to be unable to knock out the teeth of the old man, but those "children" hit by his fists were like fragile bubbles and dissipated.

The exhausted Richard stopped after a few seconds, gasping for breath.

   Not far away, the wooden door that seduced Richard with Merinin and the picture scroll was also closed.

  Richard, who gradually calmed down, raised his head, wiped away the tears that flowed from his face due to the emotional outburst, sniffed hard, swung his arms and continued to walk forward.

   His steps became firmer silently.

   While Lu Li quietly observed, the former Richard entered the third level.

  【Knowledge is disgusting, but it is your friend, it makes you stronger, wiser, and easier to gain an advantage】

  【Food gives you novel sensory enjoyment, it is also necessary for your survival, but uncontrolled and wanton eating will easily destroy your life. In any case, please continue to eat when you are full】

   The fragmented information presented on the wall was still ignored by Richard.

   When those monsters who represented knowledge, with slender bodies and swaying from side to side with every step they took, rushed towards them, Richard showed a look of fear, and at the next moment he raised his fists bravely to meet them.

   They don't have offensive power. When their faces touch their bodies, they give them knowledge - Lu Li knows this, Richard doesn't.

  So when Richard's fist slammed into the smashed face, the monsters faded away with a sad face, he should have thought that his bravery and firmness had defeated the fearsome monster.

   I just don't know how Richard should pass the last level ahead?

   After dozens of seconds, Richard stopped.

  The wall in front is covered with gray-black slender tentacles, which block the way down, occasionally revealing steps extending downwards. In the blood-red weird scene, the wriggling slender tentacles are like the entrance to hell.

  Richard looked down at his clenched fists, then rushed towards them.

   This is stupid.

   But thinking that Richard had been sent to the insane asylum at this time, the unstable mood and thinness showed that the days in the insane asylum were not good, which aggravated his condition.

   So like I said before, a lunatic can do anything.

   Before Richard could get close to them, he was entangled by the slender tentacles that suddenly stretched, dragged into the densely wriggling tentacles, and disappeared.

   This certainly cannot be the end.

   Even if they were just illusory illusions, Lu Li didn't intend to walk into the disgusting, squirming slender tentacles. He circled to the edge and walked from the edge to the end more than ten meters away.

   The creeping tentacle channel didn't make Lu Li wait too long. After more than ten seconds, Richard was spit out from the slender tentacles, like a piece of waste they were not interested in.

   The pain of the fall woke Richard, who was unconscious, and he crawled away from the slender tentacles.

  This is the last level, the road ahead, the finish line is waiting for Richard.

  【This is the most ordinary day】

   Lines of handwriting appeared in front of Richard's eyes. Just like what Lu Li experienced, at the end, he was tested and "instilled" some truths, and finally lay on the bed that appeared in front of him.

  【So now, rest well】

  【The existence of deep sea sleep is waiting for you to dream】

  Richard disappeared in front of Lu Li's eyes.
