Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 521 Ninety-eight. Fair Canyon

   Lu Li stretched out his hand and stood up with the help of Ruth's strength.

  The hair on his body was covered with dust, and he had no intention of cleaning it. Lu Li staggered towards the demon not far away, and crouched down in front of it.

   The Hunger Demon did not become hostile because of Lu Li's approach, and lowered his body slightly.

  Lu Li's gaze fell on the ankle of the hungry demon, where a label that was about to rot from the ground was tied there.

   It usually appears on the ankles and wristbands of corpses in morgues to indicate identity.

   reached for the label, brushed his thumb over the stain, and a vague name emerged.

  【Whitley Serra】

   Lu Li did know a woman named Whitley.

   A poor man whose body began to rot while he was alive.

   That wicked man has received his due, but the innocent victims are still suffering.

   "Do you remember who it is?"

   Ruth's voice came from behind.

   The Hunger Demon grinned and released animosity towards Ruth.

   "Your benefactor killed me, and you actually want me to be gentle with him?" Ruth sneered and said to the Hunger Demon, then shook her head: "I'm really crazy to communicate with an unconscious shell."

   "Why do you say she's going to starve to death." Lu Li put down the only label that could prove that the Hunger Demon was a human, stood up and asked back.

   Lu Li's name for it changed to her.

   is based on respect.

   "The appetite in **** is meaningless. No amount of meat will reduce hunger." Ruth lifted her top, and the clearly visible ribs and sunken abdomen were shocking. "Hell burns and consumes human souls all the time. Only by replenishing souls can this hunger be satisfied."

   She put down her clothes and said in a low voice: "If we don't get replenished, we will eventually become these lowest-level hunger demons."

   "You?" Lu Li noticed the details.

   "Hell is much hotter than you think, not the environment." Ruth made a pun. "Apart from these unfortunate low-level demons without wisdom, this place is full of devil's power, demon's territory, wandering high-level demons, and many souls like you and me who remain the same and have not yet become demons."

   "How to protect yourself?"

  Ruth didn't hide this, she lifted her coat to reveal the flintlock gun in the holster, patted it and said, "Hunt those blind demons."

   She wanted to take it out to scare Lu Li, but she wasn't sure if Lu Li's guardian spirits would see this as hostile.

   "Can you show it to me?" Lu Li's eyes fell on it, wondering if it was a psychic gun.

   The fallen coat blocked his sight, and Ruth said in a bad tone: "No."

  No more questions, Lu Li looked at Ruth, who was blindfolded, and said, "I plan to leave here."

   "Do you know how big **** is? How many demons are there in hell? How powerful are they?" Ruth's rhetorical question seemed to be mocking Lu Li's ignorance.

   "Is it related?"

   "These powerful beings can only honestly stay in **** and suffer, why do you think you can leave?"

   "Because I don't belong here." Lu Li said calmly.

   This is indeed a reason, Ruth shrugged, not planning to persuade Lu Li any more: "Then what do you want to do? A psychic."

   "Where are you gathering?" Lu Li asked.

   "Fair Canyon."

   "Please take me there."

   "Don't be in such a hurry, you have to get used to slowing down in hell." Ruth tried to dissuade Lu Li's eagerness: "All our actions will consume our soul. The slower you are, the slower your soul will be consumed."

  Lu Li shook his head gently, he didn't have much time: "The devil's children are looking for me. Before they find me, I have to find my way out."

   And the longer you stay in hell, the more likely something will happen to Anna.

  Lu Li didn't want to go back to see Anna who was completely dehumanized and turned into an evil spirit.

   "Are you kidding me?"

   The relaxed expression on Ruth's expression gradually disappeared. Looking at Lu Li's calm expression, she knew that he was probably not joking...

  Especially after Lu Li raised his palm to show the burn marks of the inverted pentagram on the back of his hand.

She stepped back as if encountering a natural enemy, and stared at Lu Li vigilantly: "I gave up and continued to help you. I thought you would restrain yourself after murdering me with a despicable scheme, but I didn't expect that you would dare to provoke one in hell. A devil..."

   "Wait a minute."

  Lu Li stopped Ruth who was retreating: "Tell me how to get to Fair Canyon."

   Ruth, who retreated ten meters away, pointed behind Lu Li: "Go straight ahead along the foot of the Black Rock Volcano, and you will see an abandoned town where the only tavern is open."

  Lu Li turned and looked into the distance, his vision blocked by the edge of the crater.

"thanks."

  Lu Li nodded and thanked Ruth, ignoring her complicated expression, Wheatley followed to the edge of the crater and climbed to the ground.

   dragged the thin Whitley up again, and Lu Li looked into the distance. It is difficult to find traces of the town on the black earth interlaced with lava rivers, perhaps it is too far away.

   Wheatley didn't interrupt, so Lu Li took her and walked along the foot of the mountain.

   At a certain moment, Lu Li suddenly tilted his head slightly.

   Ruth, who "parted ways" with him a few minutes ago, followed dozens of meters behind him.

   went a few hundred meters forward, and Ruth was still following behind. So Lu Li stopped and looked back at her.

   "I'm going to the pub." Ruth said uncomfortably, "It just happened to be on the way."

  Lu Li didn't say anything and continued to walk on the hot land.

   "Why is it called Fair Canyon."

   Lu Li's inquiry sounded. Soon, Ruth's answer came from behind: "The first soul to come here is the name of the devil or the devil. Because every dead person who falls here is no different, and won't be treated preferentially because they are princes and nobles. They all suffered the same way, is there anything fairer than this?"

   Complements continue to come with pity and schadenfreude.

   "Except for you, you are the 'lucky one' targeted by the devil"

   "Tell me about the tavern."

"Can."

   Next, Ruth introduced the tavern to Lu Li.

  Exchange or trade is an important part of intelligent beings, even in hell.

   Chaos and sin are the words of hell, where lies and deceit endure. Even the treacherous and cunning devil can be deceived at times.

The   tavern thus appeared.

  The tavern is a mixed place, where souls with nothing, demon hunters, various high-level demons, grumpy demons, and even devils will gather there to exchange and trade.

   The rules there are agreed upon by all beings: no one can take action within the town limits.

   Even devils and high-level demons.

Whether the    rule is effective and whether it can restrict the existence of the top layer of **** is not yet known.

   But at least the tavern still exists.
