Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 534 One hundred and eleven. Embers

  At dawn, the eerie fog that enveloped Belfast quietly receded. Revealing the city that was largely in ruins.

The reverberating church bells stopped ringing at midnight, the flames that devoured everything did not go out until dawn, the flames could be seen everywhere, the city was filled with thick smoke that could not be dissipated, and the pungent smell of smoke wafting in the air even drifted to the cliffs of the elm forest. top.

   "Ah--"

   Jimmy, who was in front of the wooden house, sneezed hard, and then leaned more weakly in the reclining chair.

   After waking up, Lu Li didn't need to watch the door. He was sent out of the cave by his sister to beware of the weirdness that might appear on the top of the cliff.

   But maybe it was the city in the distance that attracted them more, maybe Anna and her siblings didn't hide their breath, maybe it was the shelter of the elm forest and the shelter, and the night passed, nothing happened on the top of the cliff.

  Jimmy's eyes fell back to the sea, the deep water outside the bay, the three monsters who created the weird fog, who were the initiators of all this, were sinking into the water.

   "You don't need to hold me like that."

   Lu Li's calm voice came from behind, Jimmy turned around and saw Lu Li being held by Princess Anna, and Remi who was following with a smile in his eyes.

   "You're too tall, it'll be awkward to carry on your back." Anna prepared enough excuses.

   "You can lift me up with your ability." Lu Li replied.

  Anna was slightly silent, not looking at Lu Li: "It's not safe."

  Lu Li no longer persuaded Anna, who was thinking of the fairy tale of "The Princess Saves the Prince", and looked forward.

  Jimmy leaned on the reclining chair, the monster was lying on the side, and three strange waves appeared on the sea in the distance. It seemed that something existed there before, but now there are only waves and eddy currents.

   "Good morning." Jimmy raised his hand feebly in greeting.

   "Good morning." Lu Li nodded lightly, looking at the waves that had not disappeared on the sea.

  Jimmy told Lu Li about the weirdness that appeared on the sea before, which was consistent with the rumor that Lu Li had heard about the "monster that swallows weird fog".

   His eyes fell on the ruins of Belfast in the distance, and he was silent.

  Belfast is the most prosperous city on the Allen Peninsula, and this bizarre incursion is far more serious than the Zennster massacre not too long ago.

   and can meet, the tragedy of Belfast will happen in all human cities - or has happened.

   The muskets and cannons that humans are proud of are of no use to these monstrosities.

   The era of human beings is receding.

   "Go back to self-cultivation, you are not suitable for activities outside now." As if feeling Lu Li's state of mind, Anna whispered.

   "Show me Annie."

  Lu Li doesn't want to go back yet.

  The construction of the shelter only considers the practicality. Living in the deep dark cave for a long time is not beneficial to the body and mind, and may even reduce the sanity value.

  Ann came to Annie's tree trunk with Lu Li in her arms. As Lu Li and Anna approached, Annie showed joy and intimacy, and gently touched them with tentacle-like instincts.

   "She seems to like you more," Anna said. Anne was not so excited when she came.

   "Maybe it has something to do with vitality." Lu Li closed his eyes and sensed Annie's existence. It was still weak, and the conscious care of a nearby elm tree only kept it from dying. However, as time went on, Annie's instinct evolved into consciousness, and the range that could be affected became larger and larger, until the entire Elm Forest.

   Until then, this will be their real "home".

   "Go back." Lu Li said. "Also, I need a wheelchair."

   has nothing to do with the shame of being held by Anna, it’s just a simple inconvenience.

  Anna was a little disappointed: "Wait, I'll go back to the city to find you some ingredients and a wheelchair."

  Lu Li still didn't go back to the cave shelter. In this case, lighting oil lamps during the day was too extravagant. Remy took the second lounge chair from the cabin and sat next to Jimmy.

  Anna gently put Lu Li into the reclining chair, and Lu Li tilted his head, observed closely the fusion of Jimmy and the monster's body, and withdrew his gaze.

  Lu Li raised his hand slowly, so as not to make his body "fall" by moving too fast.

   "Where is it itching?" Anna asked.

   "Carrion box, I need some information from the merchant."

  Although Lu Li didn't know if he could still summon the merchants.

   "You need to rest now." Anna put Lu Li's raised arm back to its original position.

   "I'm resting." Lu Li gently tapped the armrest of the reclining chair, indicating the current situation.

  Anna had to take out the wooden box containing the carrion from Lu Li's pocket, open it, put it next to Lu Li's hand, and tell him that he had called a merchant last night to ask about the price of the deep sea stone.

   "We can't install the door to the refuge point for the time being," Anna said.

   "Maybe." Lu Li murmured in a low voice, thinking about it.

  It will take some time for the Messenger Crow to arrive, and it may not even arrive. Anna took advantage of the gap to look at the Jimmy brothers and sisters: "I'll go back to Belfast, and Lu Li will leave it to you."

   "We will protect him with our lives." Remi said calmly as if answering a trivial matter.

   "Pay attention to safety, don't go too deep into the city, come back if you can't find it." Lu Li said. Maybe it was because Anna acted alone for the first time and said a lot.

   "If you meet a survivor who can help you—"

  Anna suddenly pressed down on her hair, bent over to approach Lu Li, and lightly touched his forehead with her warm lips.

"I will."

  Leaving at a touch, Anna pursed her lips and left the top of the cliff and floated towards the city in the distance.

  Lu Li seemed to be a little stunned, until Anna disappeared from sight, and the body that was tensed due to discomfort gradually relaxed.

   Looking back, he saw Remy looking at him, smiling before he stopped.

   "What do you want to say?" Lu Li asked.

   "Your relationship is enviable." The sincerity in Remi's eyes did not hide.

  Lu Li didn't answer, and Remi looked at the sea without caring, and murmured, "Ingredients... I haven't cooked for a long time since that happened."

   She didn't expect Lu Li to respond to this casual emotion.

   "You can cook?" Lu Li asked.

   "Hmm. Probably never in the story."

  Lu Li thoughtfully said, "I'll ask you for the food when Anna comes back."

  Remi smiled: "You're welcome."

  The messenger arrived ten minutes later, and when the black crow tore and ate the carrion in the wooden box, Lu Li let it contact the merchant.

   Ten minutes after the black crow left, a tall figure with an exaggerated backpack was greeted on the top of the cliff.

   This made Lu Li think about the businessman himself and the existence behind it.

   These are by no means human beings wandering among the exorcists, what is their purpose?

   But before asking anything, Lu Li sold the information he knew to the merchant.

   "I have some information about hell, are you interested?"

   After a brief pause, a blunt answer with interest came from under the scarf.

   "That's exactly what we need."
