Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 518 Ninety-five. Human civilization gradually fades away

  Anna suddenly looked out the window.

   Her eyes seemed to penetrate through the fog and the buildings, and landed on the dark and dead sea.

   Just now, a disturbing throbbing breath spread ashore from the deep sea.

   This breath even affected the material, the tea in the cup of the desk rippled and the flames flickered.

  Anna couldn't describe what it was, but she only felt that her soul was trembling.

   The sense of unease began to deepen, something bad was approaching——

  Ana thought, and her eyes fell back to Lu Li.

   There were only 15 seconds left until the agreed time. When Lu Li woke up, she would take him to leave Belfast immediately.

   The time scale seems to be extended, every second as slow as a minute.

   Anna, whose heart had already cooled down, felt a strong emotion called fear after a long time.

   Her hands were even trembling slightly, as if she was afraid of the breath leaking from the deep sea, or she was uneasy about the imminent danger.

  10, 9, 8, 7…

   At this time, the distant sound of the church bell suddenly came from a distance.

   The church bells scattered throughout the city rang, mixed together, and reverberated rapidly over Belfast.

   These densely echoing bells are full of oppression and urgency, and people are forced to wake up from their deep sleep, terrified of not knowing what happened.

  The cries of the children were the first to sound, but the barking of the dogs seemed to disappear and never appeared.

  3, 2, 1!

   One minute has passed, the rope broke in an instant, and Lu Li, who fell naturally, was supported by Anna, leaned back in the chair, and softly called him to wake up.

   Breathing began to resume, and the heart began to beat again.

   But Lu Li showed no sign of waking up.

  Anna's breath gradually became abused.

   His soul did not return...

  Clap——clap clap clap——

   There was a loud slap of the windows.

   cluck cluck cluck-

   The counter on Lu Li's wrist accelerated due to Anna's breath.

  Anna reluctantly suppressed her emotions and turned her head to look out the window.

  Whoa——

  The curtains were opened, and many black spots lying on the windows appeared.

  Those are carrion beetles with large fingernails. They are retracting their transparent wings, lifting their carapace and flying again, but every now and then a new beetle hits the window.

  They are fleeing…

   A thought emerged in Anna's mind.

"Land from……"

   whispered to Lu Li, who seemed to be asleep, and Anna, whose anxiety deepened, no longer waited.

   She is going to the refuge in Elm Forest, which may be the only safe place for now.

   picked up Lu Li, and before leaving, Anna remembered something, and the strength rolled up the sculpture and the black cat, and rushed out of the corridor like a gust of wind to the street.

  It wasn't just beetles that swept through the fog like locusts, seagulls, bats, insects, those creatures that were not yet extinct fled the ocean in swarms and flew towards the top of the mountain.

   The terrifying scene of doomsday made Anna hesitate for a moment. Can the refuge point protect Lu Li? Perhaps it would be better to escape to the back of the mountain and away from the deep sea? But remembering that Lu Li spared no effort to build it, Anna cast aside her doubts about the refuge.

  No matter what, she will always be by Lu Li's side.

   Anna, who came to the street, attracted people's attention, and many people who ran down the street in anxiety because of the bells shouted in horror when they saw this scene.

   Ignoring them, Anna hugged Lu Li, took the sculpture and the black cat, flew off the ground, and swept towards the Elm Forest.

  The obscure breath from the deep sea is changing everything in the city, large swaths of creatures are dying, and insects are falling like raindrops on a stormy night.

   The sound of the sanity counter on Lu Li's wrist is becoming more frequent, this time it has nothing to do with Anna - it all comes from the breath of the deep sea.

   Even the black cat began to become weak, and the sculpture curled up at some point.

  The weird fog dissipated a little at some point. Anna tilted her head to look at the top of the mountain. What happened there was melting the weird fog covering the city.

   The familiar feeling of disgust reminded Anna of the fragment of the ancient image that Lu Li got.

   But at this time, it was probably the fragments of the ancient images owned by the investigators that almost spread throughout the city.

   This made Anna no longer have to worry about the thick fog that blocked her vision, but it also allowed her to see extremely terrible things happening.

   At a certain moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from overhead, more piercing than the bells echoing everywhere.

  Anna looked in the direction of the sound of breaking air. A few seconds later, a fishing boat with a length of several tens of meters descended from the sky and smashed into a street tens of meters away with strong winds.

The    building was easily crushed by metal fishing boats several times larger than it, and crushed into ruins. The howling wind was unstoppable even for Anna, and it tumbled and flew more than ten meters away.

  In the half of the room that has not collapsed, there are citizens crying in despair.

  Anna suddenly understood why Lu Li kept using ants as a metaphor for humans.

   Whether investigators, night watchmen, or ancient slayers, their powers can do nothing in the face of this apocalyptic vision.

  When one side on the battlefield can easily overwhelm the other side, strategy and strategy will be meaningless.

   This scene is not accidental, because more terrifying air-breaking sounds sounded one after another.

   Next, there was a "boat rain" in this area.

Boats with a length of tens of meters and hundreds of meters fell to the ground. Whether wooden houses, single-family huts or more sturdy buildings, they were all as fragile as the building blocks built by children. The bells and the cries of the people.

  Anna left this area before the stormy fishing boat fell, pursed her lips, and flew like an arrow across the roof.

   The dark and dead elm forest is right in front of you. At the moment of rushing in, Anna felt the tranquility, as if the existence in the deep sea could not affect it here.

   Forest consciousness lingers around Anna and Lu Li, and is no longer full of hostility.

   Until then, Anna had no time to look back.

  The light on the top of Sugard began to dim gradually, and the thick fog engulfed this prosperous city called Belfast, which was shrouded in flames, gunpowder smoke, and the cries of bells.

   flew along the muddy path in the forest, and two minutes later, Anna landed on the top of the cliff in front of the refuge.

  A simple log cabin was built by the cave, and Anna saw the monster-like Jimmy on the reclining chair in front of the door, as well as the illusory white-dressed figure Remy.

   They were clearly watching what was happening in the distant city, and they were pleasantly surprised by Anna's arrival.

   "I thought you all left... Mr. Lu Li!" Remi covered her mouth and exclaimed.

   "Wait a minute."

  Anna left a sentence and took Lu Li into the refuge.

   Put Lu Li on the bed, and just ignited the second oil lamp with an oil lamp, when Remi's shout suddenly sounded outside the cave.

   "Miss Anna, I suggest you come out and take a look."

  Remi and Jimmy stared blankly at the sky, and Anna, who walked out of the cave, saw a strange scene.

   Above the deep sea, not far from here, a black sun hangs high in the void.

  The fog could not hide him, and a thin, pure black silk thread extended into the sea.

The moment    looked at it, countless whispers of chanting mixed with singing echoed in my mind.

  Ana remembered what Lu Li said to her a few hours ago.

   "The time of the stars has come."
