Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 506 Eighty-three. The home of the little adults

   "Can you see it?"

   Lu Li tilted his head and said to Anna who was holding the oil lamp.

   The "door" to enter the second stage should change from "listening" to "seeing", but just in case, Lu Li still needs to confirm.

  Ana nodded lightly, and Lu Li continued to look at the content behind.

  【The flames of revenge are about to sweep, and you and those closest to you will be burned by the fires of hell—just kidding】

   Seeing this, it can be confirmed that this letter is indeed in the hands of Richard.

  【Just to scare you, if you read this message, I should have been killed by your executioner, but it may also be the benevolent savior Richard who let you go, the hateful thief】

  【No matter what, I have something for you to do, you can take this as an order, of course, if this word makes you uncomfortable, you can also take it as a plea】

  【First of all, I have to clarify, how can I, whose goal is to become a savior, be so difficult to get by money? Don't underestimate me, I can steal my neighbor's food or dig through the trash can when I'm hungry! I gave all the money I asked for from you to those orphans]

  【But in fact, we all know that that little money is not enough. Poor little Jimmy, the last time I saw him he was licking the reef he had dug out from the sea, his stomach grumbled louder than the waves]

  【I need you to bring some food to them and take care of them as much as possible. Your heart is so evil, a little goodness will not change your overall temperament】

  【You can find them under the tail lane, go in through the sewer at the beach, don't go into the wrong sewer, there is a sign at the entrance of where they live, called "the home of the little adults"】

  【Take care of them for me, if you can't do it...】

  【That can only blame this **** world】

  【Don’t forget to do it—from Richard who doesn’t care about being killed by you】

   turned over the full letter, there was nothing else behind it.

   "Could it be a trap?" Anna asked, looking up.

"do not know."

This madman is full of uncertainty, and this letter exacerbates this, making Richard's character even more contradictory: a madman who, in order to stop thousands of innocent citizens from being turned into puss, will be homeless because of some Returned orphans with great kindness.

   But a madman is enough to explain everything.

   "Let's go after dinner or now." Anna knew that Lu Li would go, even if it might be a trap.

  Lu Li raised his head and looked out the window, the fog made the deserted street a gray, darker than before.

   "Now past."

   A group of hungry and weak children can't make it through tonight's weird fog.

   Leaving an oil lamp for the sculpture and the sleeping black cat, Lu Li and Anna left the longhouse and leaped over the roof to approach the coastal street.

   Before going to the sewer and the grocery store, Lu Li went to the investigator base to change some shillings and see if Tesla sent a message and figure out what was in the sea.

   An indistinguishable fog envelopes Belfast, making it difficult to see from ten meters away. Ignoring the emotions of passersby during the low-altitude flight, Lu Li arrived at the maintenance station ten minutes later.

  Unfortunately, Tesla did not send a letter, and the members of the joint organization who stayed at the base knew nothing about the strangeness that appeared on the sea. He told Lu Li that the joint organization was at the port and was ready to detect and clear the strangeness.

  The sooner the weirdness that creates the fog is resolved, the more Belfast can survive.

   Fortunately, the survey points can be exchanged, and Lu Li exchanged 5,000 shillings at a normal ratio of 1:10.

   Walking out of the base, Lu Li went to the grocery store he had visited several times.

The    grocery store is the only store currently allowed to open in Belfast as it is indispensable.

   There are still some stocks of canned food. Commoners usually only eat brown bread and dried salted fish. Most people cannot afford canned food as a “luxury”.

  Lu Li bought two cases of canned pork for 20 shillings each.

   Compared with the 12 shillings half a month ago, the price has almost doubled.

   While waiting for the stocking, Lu Li noticed that under the eaves outside the store, the wild cat he had seen had disappeared.

   or where did he die.

  Weirds are treated equally, and although they prefer to attack humans, other creatures are generally not spared either. After the calamity of the night, I don't know how many lives were lost in the long night.

   It's hard to say whether animals are lucky or unlucky - they can't understand what killed them.

   However, there are still some exceptions, some small animals survived, such as mice and flies, but with the collapse of the food chain, the latter has become difficult to see, and the former rely on human-built cities to survive.

   The clerk who was struggling to bring two boxes of canned food returned to the store through the back door and asked Lu Li where these things were kept.

   "Just let go." Lu Li said.

  Anna had already taken over, and the two boxes of cans floated to Lu Li's side like balloons. The expressions of the clerk and other customers were transitioning from shock to exclamation. Lu Li didn't stay, walked out of the store, flew into the fog, and headed for Tails Lane at the edge of Crescent Bay.

  …

  The sound of the waves crashing on the beach day and night, and the sea breeze from the deep sea blows, with an obscure and ominous atmosphere.

  Ana also noticed this, so she floated outside and completely protected Lu Li.

  The beach at the foot of the foot is mixed with brown soil as it approaches the edge of Crescent Bay. It is not too far from the elm forest, and the lighthouse in the reef area is on the periphery.

   In front of a sewer entrance that had been abandoned for a long time, Lu Li saw what Richard said, the entrance with a wooden sign.

The    is crookedly engraved with the [Home of the Little Adults].

   "Stop!"

When    approached the entrance, a clear cry of a child sounded, and a thin little girl came out from the depths of the sewer holding a simple spear made of branches.

   The big eyes that reflected the oil lamps in the dimness looked at Lu Li and the wooden box floating beside him: "Are you here to eat us?"

   "Richard asked me to come." Lu Li said.

   The little girl didn't seem to be afraid of Lu Li's extraordinary power. Those big dusty but clear eyes blinked and asked, "Did Brother Richard let you eat us?"

  Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly: "I brought food."

  Kacha——

  The lid of the wooden box is lifted to reveal the neatly arranged cans that are more exciting than money at this moment.

   The little girl swallowed her saliva and said solemnly, pretending to be an adult, "Thank you, come in with me."

   Said, she picked up the candle lamp under her feet, blew it out, walked on the edge of the light of the oil lamp held by Lu Li, and led the way for him.

  Although it has been abandoned and will not be drained by water, the sewer is still wet because it is close to the coast. As we went deeper, some colorful graffiti drawn by children began to appear on the walls.

   Most of them relate to food, children, family, and a figure that looks like Richard—his face is covered in white chalk, representing Richard's pale complexion.
