Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 547

  Collapsed stones buried half of the church, colored fragments scattered around the faded red benches, the faces of broken statues were pitiful, shimmering light spilled from the broken walls, and floating dust drifted.

  Lu Li and Anna entered the church through the collapsed gate. Bypassing the ruins and stone piles, the intact stone door leading to the basement is in front of you.

   "There's a ghost inside." Anna said.

   Lu Li raised his hand and patted the stone gate.

   "Who?" After a while, a gentle and peaceful voice sounded from behind the door.

   "Tesla asked me to come to church." Lu Li said.

   Soon, a beautiful woman with an illusory figure passed through the stone gate and appeared in front of them.

   "You must be Lu Li and... Anna." The woman said softly, her gentle gaze fell on Anna. "Michael he talks about you all the time. Are you hurt?"

   "Small question." Lu Li said, telling Adam Fuya Tesla's letter and hidden information: "He is hiding your information, why?"

   "Because of the shelter." Adam Fuya lowered her eyes and looked sad.

   "Do you know the situation at the refuge point?"

  Adanfuya nodded and said: "Only a part. Michael lost contact before he knew more. The servant told me that the refuge point had been blocked, and sent me here according to Michael's previous arrangement."

On the eve of the opening of the sanctuary, Tesla was keenly aware of the true meaning of the sanctuary - if it really just lets people hide, there is no need for a secret location, a hundred meters below the ground, a huge manor-like wall, a few meters thick deep-sea stone walls , and in an ever-expanding sanctuary.

   The Demon Slayer Association that proposed the Refuge Project has other arrangements here.

   For example, the literal meaning of the "Tinder" project itself.

  Tesla entered the shelter about two weeks ago, when he lost contact.

  The Refuge sent a letter to the effect of inviting Tesla to choose his room, but only in secret.

  As Tesla's wife, Adam Fuya has the qualifications to settle in a sanctuary, even if she is a ghost. So the sanctuary's actions surprised him.

   So Tesla instructed his wife and old servants in the house that if he had an accident after entering the shelter, he would take Adang Fuya to Luli, and he would shelter you.

   But in the early morning of the next day, when he got into the carriage and was about to set off, Tesla seemed to have vaguely foreseen something, and changed to take Adamfiya to the basement of the church in Shadow Town.

   He said that if he could not come back, he would find a way to have Lu Li pick you up there.

  Tesla left, and as he had planned for the worst, the sanctuary was officially sealed off.

   The old servant who realized the accident prepared the carriage overnight and sent his wife to the church until two weeks later, Lu Li, who received Tesla's letter, came here.

   Everything makes sense.

  Tesla had planned to give his wife to Lu Li, so he asked Adamfya to come to the edge of the Shadow Swamp and hide in the basement of the church.

  Tesla knew about the relationship between the Swamp Mother and Lu Li, and also knew that Lu Li had stayed in the basement.

   "Where's the servant who brought you here?" Anna asked suddenly.

  Adanfuya lowered her head, her breath became unstable: "We met a group of wandering ghouls at night...they...eat them..."

   Adanfoya did not lie. The soul that has preyed on humans will be infiltrated by evil, and her soul is weak and clean.

   This shows that Adam Fuya can be trusted.

   "Is Michael back?"

   After patiently answering the things and questions that Lu Li wanted to know, Adang Fuya, who couldn't bear it, asked.

   "No." Lu Li shook his head. Then, I told Adamfiya, who was lost, about what happened outside.

   She hid here for two weeks, ignorant of what was happening outside.

   "Belfast..."

   Hearing the news of the city's destruction, Adam Fuya was stunned.

   Taking advantage of this interval, Lu Li thought about the "tinder" plan of the refuge.

   As Tesla said, the oldest and the ancient slayer society, which has always fought against weirdness, could not have paid such a high price just to save a group of people.

  The most probable purpose that Lu Li could think of is: The Refuge is a Noah's Ark.

  The flood devoured the earth, and only those who boarded Noah's Ark survived. After the flood receded, they boarded the ark and started a new life in a messy new world.

  What Lu Li couldn't judge was whether the Demon Slayer Association knew that the "flood" would eventually recede, or whether they were betting on the fate of mankind.

  If the weirdness never goes away, the Vault will eventually reopen due to lack of resources, which will make no sense. The "Tinder" plan is at best to allow the Vault Residents to live in relative comfort and safety for a period of time.

   If it is the former, has the Demon Slayer Association found anything?

   Luli knew of more than one sanctuary, and one of them was on the Ellen Peninsula.

   But like other exorcists who have nothing to do with the sanctuary plan, he doesn't know where the sanctuary is.

   "Can I leave with you?"

  Adan Fuya asked, she was not worried about her husband's safety, but worried about whether they would meet again in the future: "There is nothing here, except for the monsters who want to come from the other side of the back passage at night."

   "I'm afraid not. We will go to the Lord's Continent, Ellen King City, and we won't be able to take you with us. But we will take you with us when we come back."

   In case of an accident with Adam Fuya before returning, Lu Li added: "The Swamp Mother knows us. If its servants show up, mention me, it will know."

   Adang Fuya nodded lightly, this ghost is as gentle and peaceful as water, which may be why she still accompanied Tesla as a ghost for a long time, instead of becoming a wraith or evil spirit.

After a brief meeting, Lu Li and Anna left the ruins of the town.

   Before leaving, Anna left a novel for Adam Fuya to pass the time, and it also represented her acceptance—because of Lu Li.

  The more weirdness on the top of the cliff, the easier and safer Lu Li is to hide.

  Arrived over the swamp road, a sparse convoy of people walking on this straight road.

   They cling to the left side of the road invariably, and have no deep taboos on the North Shadow Swamp on the other side. Although the Southern Shadowswamp also has unsettling monster rumors.

  The jungle has long since died, but I don't know when it started, and they began to grow strangely - toward the Swamp Road, toward the South Shadow Swamp.

   The terrifying withered trees are like countless pairs of withered claws, slender and dense, almost covering the gloomy sky, and almost half of the swamp road is shrouded in this terrifying ghost.

   If it weren't for the imminent danger of the Ellen Peninsula being more clear than this scene, people would never have dared to set foot on the swamp road.

  Anna felt the same obscure and terrifying breath from the depths of this swamp as the Onyx Lake. Something has awakened and is invading the territory of the Swamp Mother.

   At times like this, it’s not just humans who can’t protect themselves.
