Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 540 One hundred and seventeen. Every day is more dangerous

   The oil lamp on the desk and the fire in the fireplace exude warmth and brightness.

   The light that peeked out of the shelter stretched out a jagged black shadow, and the "children" and the Jimmy brothers and sisters huddled outside. If weirdness strikes, it will be the first to pass through their barrier.

  Lu Li's body and soul will stay in the cave until they are fully integrated.

   The figure on the bed was sleeping soundly. Anna sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked the supple back of the black cat lying on her lap, although she couldn't feel it.

   This peaceful atmosphere continued, and at a certain moment, Anna turned her head to look at the figure on the bed.

   "What time is it."

   Lu Li opened his eyes and looked at the alarm clock on the desk by the bedside, but he couldn't see it clearly.

   "Two o'clock."

  Anna let go of the black cat and let it jump back on the bed, gently rubbing its tail around Lu Li's head.

  Lu Li raised his arm in response, and when he retracted it, the speed was slightly faster, and the arm fell back to the bed weakly, leaving the illusory arm still raised in the air.

   Fortunately, Lu Li rarely turns over when he sleeps, so he doesn't have to worry about not paying attention when he turns over, and his soul will leave his body.

   "It's better." Lu Li replied to Anna who was concerned.

   was slower than expected. It took a whole day to get the body and soul together. If you want to fully recover, you don't have to worry about the soul being detached, and it will take at least ten days of recuperation.

  Anna fed Lu Li some warm water that had been boiled and placed by the fireplace, and the latter fell asleep again.

   When Lu Li woke up again, it was almost morning. There was no sign of the Jimmy brothers and sisters and the "children" in the cave. There were only occasional sounds of play outside.

  Anna took care of Lu Li to wash and eat, then carried him into the reclining chair, turned off the oil lamp, and took him to the entrance of the cave to relieve his depression.

  The rain stopped last night, and the temperature was much colder than yesterday, as if it were entering late autumn. Lu Li and Jimmy in the reclining chairs were covered with thick blankets, and the fireplace in the cave behind them never went out.

  The sea was calm in the distance, but it was hard to see the ship. It was as if they were on a deep-sea island rather than one of the busiest ports ever.

   The black sun in the void is eerily indescribable, even though looking at it the counter neither rattles nor murmurs.

  Anna told him that at dawn, the eerie fog receded again, on time as if following a certain agreement.

  The radio next to Jimmy also mentioned the spooky fog a few times, and they said spooky fog was trending towards the dark night and becoming the norm. More coastal cities were hit by the eerie fog, and people had to retreat inland, far from the ocean.

  The retreat of humans doesn't change anything. Because they found that the weird fog was approaching inland - the fog last night had already crossed the Sugard Mountain, and it was only a dozen miles away from the Watching Town on the back of the mountain!

   There are tens of thousands of original residents and Belfast citizens who fled there.

The    broadcast said that the Exorcist Alliance was trying to eliminate the culprit who created the strange fog, but no results have come yet.

  After last night, many cities were attacked by monsters, and the survivors escaped with news. The worst are the smaller villages and towns. They were completely silent, completely wiped off the map.

  Weird is gradually replacing the original status of human beings and becoming the new master of this land.

  Only the top of the cliff in the Elm Forest maintains unbroken peace for the time being.

   Listening to the radio, Lu Li took a nap.

  The fusion process of body and soul made Lu Li sleep more, and he was often sleepy like an old man.

   Whenever this happens, Anna will carefully hug the black cat on his lap and pull the blanket to his neck.

  Remi would sometimes say with a smile that they were like an elderly couple, full of caring for each other and the warmth of mutual dependence.

  Lu Li's rest room, Anna left the Elm Forest and went back to the city.

  This place has completely turned into a dead place, at least Anna has not seen any trace of the survivors.

   She found everything that might be useful in the grocery store on the street that was never affected by the fire, and kept half of the cans, bringing the rest back to the top of the cliff.

   Four boxes of canned food, thirty pounds of kerosene, bags of sand and charcoal, and brand new tools in a wooden box.

  The cellar can't hold any more cans and kerosene, so Anna has to temporarily pile them next to the Jimmy brothers and sisters' log cabin. When Lu Li wakes up, she and Remy will build another firewood house behind the wooden house to store tools and firewood.

   Now they lack everything except deep sea stones.

  Belfast was destroyed and lived on the third day on the cliff top of Elm Forest.

Today is Monday.

  In the early morning, the merchants arrived as scheduled.

  It went to the top of the cliff, and 25 boxes of cans were stacked in front of the "children's" wooden house.

  I don't know how it came to the top of the cliff with a can that could slowly fit into a carriage.

   In addition to the transaction content, the merchant also brought the "Investigator Weekly" and the investigator's salary.

   As a senior investigator, Lu Li's weekly salary is 1,400 shillings. In infected areas, however, the shilling has become meaningless, and survivors will only barter. So the salary was changed to 140 survey points.

  Infected Areas - This is what people call a land invaded by weirdness. Except for the Eden-like Lennon Islands, all the coastal areas of the Ellen Peninsula, the Lord's Continent, and the Wild Lands have been shrouded in a strange fog and strangely rampant.

  If it is marked on the map, the ocean seems to be shrouded in darkness, and the minions of darkness are reaching out to land from all directions.

   "Is it safe here?"

  Anna took the newspaper. Lu Li did not immediately read the news posted above, but asked the businessman.

   "140 survey points."

The price of    knowing is one week's salary.

"Can."

   The voice of the businessman under the dirty scarf sounded: "The forest occupies this place, the monsters confuse your humanity, and the deep sea stone blocks your humanity. Before your humanity is so strong that they can't hide it, only the existence of the inner world can set foot here."

   "How to stop the existence of the inner world?" Anna asked with a frown.

   "Can't stop it."

In   , world beings usually appear as projections, such as evil spirits. Since it is a projection, it will not be subject to any restrictions.

   Windows can keep out the storm, but not the cold.

  Lu Li knew this, and he paid attention to a strange word revealed by the businessman: human nature.

   "What is human nature?" Lu Li asked.

   "100 Investigation Points."

   "Why is this cheap."

   "It's no longer a secret, soon."

"Can."

  Humanity.

   can also be called vitality, soul, hope. It represents everything that is the opposite of darkness, silence, and despair.

   It is alien to the monstrosities, and is also seen as food and fuel by the monstrosities. So when a world has it, it also means that it has extinction.

  When a weak young deer breaks into the dark forest, countless coveted pupils will light up in the forest.

   It is the source of the strange infestation of the world.
