Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 544 One hundred and twenty one. Before departure

  Lu Li is good at planning ahead, which can be seen from the establishment of refuge points.

   So he started to prepare for the day after tomorrow from now on, and most of it was done by Anna.

  Lu Li and Anna have to leave the top of the cliff for at least three days, during which they have to prepare enough "food" for Jimmy and the children.

  Because of Tesla's warning, Anna avoided pagans and weird servants, and hunted at the edge of the elm forest while looking for a wheelchair for Lu Li - Lu Li was still held by Anna when she didn't want to appear in the city.

  Little ascension four times, and Anna came back shortly after with two spooky corpses and no wheelchair.

   She was rejected by Lu Li when she planned to go deep into the ruins of the city. They passed through Shymfast, where wheelchairs could be bought, before heading to Parliament.

   Or stop at Baron Joseph's manor, where Ellen's spare wheelchair may be kept.

   After eating some food, Lu Li returned to the shelter to rest in the afternoon.

  Sleep helps the body and soul to fuse, and it would be great to recover fully before leaving.

   Lu Li woke up several times due to thirst at night, and then fell asleep again.

   The next morning, Lu Li slowly woke up.

  The eerie fog outside the refuge receded, and a gloomy, gray sky enveloped the earth.

  I was helped by Anna to walk out of the top of the cliff and came to the front of the cave. The wet sea breeze climbed over the cliff and blew Lu Li's clothes.

   He lowered his eyes and fell to the side of the chaise longue, and a tiny curled tender sprout emerged from the ground. It didn't change much from yesterday, perhaps because Lu Li didn't spend much time on the reclining chair.

  Ana went to check the sprout transplanted on the other side, and shook her head gently at Lu Li: "It's withered."

  If it was planted in a cave farther away from the land, it might have died long ago.

   After obtaining the Doomsday Apocalypse, Lu Li's "human nature" finally became able to affect the surrounding environment, and had an incredible and wonderful effect.

   "Put them in flower pots." Lu Li said.

   It is foreseeable that if Lu Li keeps them with him, they will one day grow into weeds, or saplings—whatever, it means new life.

  There are no flower pots on the top of the cliff. Anna plans to bring some back when hunting.

  Because of the wonderful effect of human nature, the time spent on Lu Li's reclining chair was changed from in front of the cave to under the Annie tree.

  Only the instinctive Annie cheered for Lu Li's approach, and the elm forest around the top of the cliff also released a cheerful atmosphere.

   Maybe soon, Lu Li and the others will be able to see new shoots emerge from the withering.

   As it approached noon, Anna left the cliff top to hunt. Lu Li and Jimmy, who was no longer weak but had become accustomed to leisure, sat in the reclining chair and listened to the exorcist broadcast quietly.

   Soon after, Anna returned. The huge corpse he was carrying smashed down, setting off a cloud of dust on the top of the cliff.

   "It's like killing an elephant." Jimmy lamented that the prey was huge this time, and this one was enough for them to eat for a week.

  Lu Li suddenly frowned and whispered, "It's not dead yet."

   He didn't notice the improvement in vitality during the period of Anna's departure, and the behemoth in front of him obviously did not belong to the category of "minimal".

   At the same time, Remi, who was approaching her prey, sensed something, and instinctively pursed the corners of her mouth and let out a piercing howl like a banshee.

  Anna appeared in front of Lu Li in an instant to protect him.

   The terrifying invisible wave spread around with Remi as a dot, but when it reached Lu Li and the others, only slightly sharp noises remained.

   The weird corpse next to her was not so lucky. The howl of the banshee forced a phantom out of her body, like a newspaper shattered by the majestic rain, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

  Remi stopped howling, and with a sigh of relief, she turned back to Lu Li and the others and said, "Anna didn't kill it, it was the phantom body that controlled the weirdness, and it parasitized this weird body."

  Ana looked at Lu Li in a panic for a moment, worried that her carelessness would bring Lu Li a disaster.

   If the refuge is no longer safe, they will no longer have a safe place to go.

   It is about Lu Li, so Anna will find it difficult to remain indifferent.

   "It's okay, it's not a servant, it won't reveal our position." Lu Li didn't feel the peeping that disturbed him.

  This hunt is a wake-up call for Anna - she realizes that weirdness is not like prey in nature, dead is really dead.

   They have countless unpredictable and incomprehensible powers. Power is just a label that humans put on them, but it does not apply.

  In any case, before returning from the council, she doesn't have to go hunting for the time being.

  Remi planted the withered buds and the unharmed buds in the flowerpot and placed them beside Lu Li, looking forward to the scenery that will appear on the top of the cliff in the future: the elm forest will come alive, and the green grass and vines will grow on the top of the cliff.

  Sometimes she wondered, if Lu Li's humanity increased tenfold, a hundredfold, would it be possible for young shoots to burst out of the ground quickly, vines to spread like snakes, withered bushes to fade away, and dead trees to come back to life?

   At that time, Lu Li might be like... a god.

  As the evening drew nearer and nearer, three black mountains of flesh and blood rose up from the sea. As they wriggled, a strange mist filled the air and drifted toward the coastline.

When    a strange fog shrouded the wrecked Rodster Harbor, Lu Li returned to the refuge with a flower pot.

The    flower pot was placed on the desk beside the bed. The withered seedling was rejuvenated, and the other one was almost fully expanded, and a small, tender leaf hung with water droplets just after watering.

  The elm forest was completely enveloped by a strange fog, which extended into the cave until it was blocked by the firelight and the dim oil lamp as it approached the refuge.

   Night falls.

  Anna has everything ready. In the suitcase were a set of Lu Li's clothes, three psychic guns, two cans of canned beef, and a kettle full of boiled drinking water.

The    shillings are all on his body. Before the order is completely broken, it can still be used as currency in human gathering places.

   But over time, barter will replace these meaningless papers.

  【…The Exorcist Council to be held in the King City of Ellen in three days...the largest and will be the last meeting of all exorcists...]

  Anna twisted the clockwork of the radio to the end, and adjusted the volume to a volume that required careful listening to hear the words clearly. She walked to the bed and pulled the quilt to Lu Li's chest.

"Good night."

  Anna gently kissed Lu Li's forehead.

  The night in the cave is silent.

  The children slept on each other outside the shelter, dimly lit by candles in the Jimmy Brothers and Sisters cottage outside the cave.

   Occasionally, distant strange sounds cut through the night sky, malicious whispers sounded in the darkness, and screams from the ruins of the city were blown by the wind.

   But all malice can't get close to that dark hut deep in the cave. Because they sheltered Luli from being invaded and fell asleep peacefully.
