Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 545 One hundred and twenty-two. The survivors of the manor

   The morning without the light comes.

  The eerie fog reluctantly retreated into the deep sea, allowing human beings to breathe temporarily.

  Some noises sounded in the depths of the clifftop cave, and Lu Li, who was staggering, appeared at the entrance of the cave with Anna's help. She was carrying the suitcase prepared for the long trip. The children noticed what was about to happen and reluctantly surrounded Lu Li.

  The Jimmy brothers and sisters also quickly gathered and followed Lu Li to the Annie tree.

   looked up at the treetops, it was the same as yesterday.

  It's a pity that I couldn't see the birth of the sprouts before going out.

   During the farewell of the Jimmy brothers and sisters, Anna picked up Lu Li and flew towards the other side of Sugard Mountain.

  Ana flew as high as possible to avoid the weird prying eyes in the ruins of Belfast, and unreservedly released the obscure and cold malice. Only in this way could Lu Li's bonfire-like conspicuous humanity be concealed.

  Remy's expectations were ultimately difficult to achieve. As Lu Li's "food" becomes more and more delicious, more powerful monsters will be around the corner. This is by no means a safe and secure path.

  The mirror-like Onyx Lake from the top of the mountain is getting quieter and quieter, but it is just an illusion. The obscure atmosphere lurking at the bottom of the lake warns Lu Li and Anna that there is some kind of terror inhabiting the lake.

   Far away from Onyx Lake, the Joseph Manor in sight was getting closer and closer until Anna landed on the rooftop with Lu Li in her arms.

The    manor remains relatively intact, except that the building is covered in a haze of dust from Belfast's fires throughout the day.

  Lu Li's eyes fell on the back garden, where the traces of destruction left by the shadow of the thread lift still exist. In a trance, there seems to be a twisted dead tree standing there, like lovers hugging tightly.

  Irene didn't repair the basement, maybe it was kept as a souvenir, but the real reason might be that she planned to leave the manor at that time and go to the shelter to hide.

   Entering the interior of the building, the promenade covered with red woolen blankets is still exquisite and luxurious, but now only emptiness and echoes can be felt.

   They went to Erin's bedroom first, and luckily found a vacant wheelchair by the desk on the balcony.

   This custom wheelchair for the Baron is slightly smaller, but the material and comfort belie that. Anna carried Lu Li into the wheelchair, opened the closet familiarly, and took out a blanket with the fragrance of pine needles to cover Lu Li's legs - the long story of the shadow of the thread made her aware of every part of this bedroom.

  Looking around, Allen's bedroom remained the same, as if there were still people living here.

  Refuge will not allow Irene to move the entire manor there, and Irene will not take away these useless sundries. She took only what she really loved, such as an oil painting that once hung on the wall and is now empty only for wallpaper.

  Lu Li remembered that there was a small library in the manor, and it was impossible for Irene to take those books, they should still be there, as unowned things.

   Refuge needs some book embellishments, as well as to kill boredom and boredom.

  Anna pushed her wheelchair downstairs and approached the library when she heard people talking from behind the door.

   A group of survivors occupied the manor, or library.

   Survivors with their dusty faces, but in their abrupt new dresses and tuxedos, gathered around the fireplace to keep warm. The boiling coffee was hot, and they whispered and laughed. Books and shreds were scattered around, half of the book was torn, and their remains were burning in the fireplace.

   Lu Li in the wheelchair was like an uninvited guest, and the previous warm and harmonious atmosphere disappeared. They looked at Lu Li in astonishment, but did not notice for a while that the body of the beautiful girl pushing the wheelchair was illusory and transparent.

   "I am the exorcist, she is my assistant."

   Before the fear erupted, Lu Li channeled their emotions.

   This was very effective. When the stunned survivors found out that Anna was a ghost, they just held their breath and became afraid. The child hid in the mother's arms and did not shout out of control.

   "Sir... This, is this your... manor..." A young man stood up and stumbled and asked with fear, which was incompatible with the oil-stained black tuxedo.

   "No. The owner of the manor has already left. She shouldn't mind you staying here." Lu Li swept his eyes over the scattered books and said nothing: "I'm here to get some things, just like you."

   "When...of course. Please thank Baron Joseph...for us..." The young man was ashamed to say it, not only because he had occupied someone else's home, but also because the tuxedo on him seemed to be tightening his breath.

   "Why don't you flee to the back of the mountain?"

  The calm black eyes swept over them, and these survivors were clearly divided into three groups-two families and the young couple.

   "We don't know what's going on outside..." the young man said, some sweat even seeping from his forehead. "And here... here..."

   He didn't go on, but Lu Li understood.

   Not everyone has the courage to leave a safe and comfortable habitat and find another habitat in a dangerous environment, even if the safety is only temporary.

   "Is there food here?" Lu Li asked.

   There were many empty cans and bottles around them, apparently hiding in the estate for some time.

  The young man said without hesitation: "There is a lot of food and canned food in the cellar, enough for us to eat for a few months. If you need me here-"

   "No, we're just grabbing some books and we'll be leaving soon." Lu Li said, tilting his head and saying to Anna, "Look for some books on geography, culture, biography, and what you like."

   "How much?"

  They can't get too many books if they take it with them when they leave later. Although Anna could have moved the entire library.

   "Take it to the refuge when you come back."

"Um."

  Ana walked to the bookshelf, and Lu Li continued to say to the survivors: "We are going to the Lord's Continent, and we will pass through Simfast. If you want to leave, you can go together."

  The survivors looked embarrassed, the young man was a little moved, and was about to speak when his lover gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

  The courage he mustered faded, and the young man bowed his head in shame and said, "I'm sorry..."

   Outside the back garden of the manor is Onyx Lake. You only need to take some risks to get drinking water. There is enough food in the cellar, and there are even fine wines to enjoy.

  If you ignore the despair brought by the dying world itself, life here is better than before the city was destroyed——

  When Anna was choosing the book, Lu Li asked about what happened that night, but they only cared about escaping, they only knew about the spreading flames, the piercing cries, and the screams that came to an abrupt end.

  Lu Li provided them with some knowledge-mainly the rituals of those evil spirits.

   Compared to the weirdness of the other three systems, they are more likely to encounter pervasive evil spirits.

  Anna finally picked out more than twenty books, which were placed in the rooftop hut and brought to the top of the cliff when they came back.

  In the farewell of the survivors, they left the manor. "It's always strange for a wheelchair to fly in the sky."
