Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 558 One hundred and thirty-five

  Plorin neighborhood.

  There is only one street away from the slum, and the people who come and go are no longer gentlemen and ladies, only plainly dressed civilians and poor people.

  The carriage stopped at the front of the block, and the greedy eyes of hungry people fell on the carriage, and some of them stared at Lu Li who came down from the carriage.

  Anna pushed Lu Li to the door, knocked on the door, and stood quietly behind Lu Li.

   Faltering footsteps sounded behind the door, followed by an old questioning voice: "Who is it?"

   "Investigator Lu Li, Swamp... Princess Roland entrusted me to come."

   There was a momentary pause behind the door, there was a small click, the wooden door opened a gap, an old face appeared behind the door, and looked at Lu Li vigilantly: "Princess Roland?"

"Yes."

   "It's impossible for ordinary people to know my bloodline..." Lilia said to herself, stepping back to open the door. "Whoever you are...Come in young man, I hope you have no ill will."

   The wheelchair could not pass through the narrow wooden door, so Lu Li had to leave the wheelchair. The old man approached the dilapidated wooden house with strange attention.

   When Anna, who entered last, wanted to close the door, Lilia whispered as a reminder: "The security here is not very good, and the price of food is getting more and more expensive."

   After a slight pause, Anna no longer closed the door to maintain the status quo that she could see the carriage outside.

   A wise old man, if a stranger is malicious, her cries can be heard by the residents outside.

   "Tell me, what is the purpose of your coming to me? Look where I live, our family has nothing left." The old man asked cautiously.

  Anna looked around at the simply furnished room. The only picture frame on the dining table that made her eyes stop.

   Inside is a beautiful young woman.

  Is this what the Swamp Mother looked like? Anna, who had never seen the Swamp Mother, thought to herself.

   "I already said that, Princess Roland entrusted me to come." Lu Li repeated.

   The second time he mentioned this title, old man Lilia had a flash of reminiscence and dissipated his guard: "You got the princess's relic?"

   "No, it's Princess Roland herself, to a certain extent."

  Lilia only guessed that Lu Li was here for the family property, and when she got an unexpected answer, the old man was stunned, and suddenly remembered Lu Li's first self-introduction, which he almost forgot.

   "You are the exorcist...her soul still exists in the world?!"

  The expression of the old man became excited, and even a figure passing by on the street looked curiously.

   "Almost." Lu Li didn't explain the weird system to her, and continued: "For some reason, she lost most of her past memories. I was responsible for helping her retrieve them, so I found you. Do you still have any previous records?"

   "Of course...of course...we have never forgotten the old glory of Toaaragon..."

   Tears welled up in Lilia's cloudy eyes: "Can you take me to see her..."

   "I'm afraid not." Lu Li shook his head: "She's on the swamp road, where it's very dangerous for her."

  Unless the old man is willing to be the vassal of the Swamp Mother, but the latter may not.

  How could the Swamp Mother, who already has a touch of humanity, turn the last bloodline into a weird one.

   "I'm not afraid of danger, my family has nothing left, I only hope to serve the former princess..." Lilia's sad prayer was hard to refuse.

   Lu Li didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Anna.

   "Bringing one more person won't slow us down," Anna said.

Lu Li nodded lightly and said to Lilia, "We're here to participate in the exorcist council the day after tomorrow, and we'll take you away after it's over. If she doesn't allow you to stay in the territory or you're not fit to stay there, I'll take you to Xi'an. Mfast."

   "Thank you, please wait."

   Aware that Lu Li was going to leave, Lilia stopped him, dragged a suitcase full of patches from under the bed, and took out a few books and handed them to Lu Li.

   "The inheritance of our family is recorded on it. I feel more at ease in your hands." The old man has unconditional trust in Lu Li.

   After all, no one would lie to an old man with nothing.

   "It's not safe here?" Lu Li could hear the implication of Lilia's words.

The voice of    fell, and the sound of a rhythmic horse suddenly came from outside the wooden house.

   A few thugs gathered in front of the carriage and wanted to take them away.

   "I'll deal with it." Anna walked outside the wooden house.

  The old man did not hide: "I don't know why the royal family's control over the city is weakening. The Hales Gang in the slum has recently come up with the idea of ​​​​this block, and they may occupy it at any time..."

   "The group outside the door should be them. Go and help your friend, the Hales Gang is as difficult as hyenas, and your identity may be able to force them back..."

  In order to stabilize and observe the official attitude, gangs may not persecute the residents here, except for the lonely and widowed elderly. Helpless and sickly, they are the best targets for bullying. At that time, Lilia's only food and property will be deprived, and she will die in helplessness, annihilating the last glimmer of the Toya Ragon family.

   "You pack your luggage and we'll take you to the hotel."

   said Lu Li and walked out the door.

   Anna, who was inconvenient to use her power, patiently warned them coldly, and supported Lu Li, who was walking down the street, and said, "They said they were from the Hales gang."

   "We want your—"

   A gangster shouted to be stopped by the little hooded leader. He recognized the strange badge on Lu Li's coat: "Are you an exorcist?"

"Yes."

  The little leader apologized without hesitation: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Exorcist, we didn't mean it, we'll leave—"

At the same time as the    voice fell, a turbulent airflow suddenly attacked the figure who slipped to the side of the carriage, trying to secretly pull the reins.

The    figure screamed and flew backwards, hitting the wall across the street with a bang.

   The frightened horse was about to move, and was forcibly suppressed by an irresistible force, unable to move.

   There was a moment of silence around the street, and screams suddenly erupted.

  The people shouted the monsters and fled in all directions, and the chaos quickly spread outward.

   In the slightly cold temperature, the little leader actually had a cold sweat on his forehead, and he kept retreating quietly, and after getting far enough away, he and his subordinates rushed to escape.

  Anna's cloak fell slowly, and she whispered apologetically: "I'm sorry, I..."

   "The problem is not with us." Lu Li didn't care about the fleeing gangster, and walked slowly to the gangster who wanted to steal the horse.

   He clutched his chest, crawling on the ground in fear, trying to get away from Lu Li.

   Just then, a shilling fell on him, halting his movements.

   "Go to the doctor, and then think about the meaning of what you've done." Lu Li looked down at the young man calmly, turned and walked away.

   "We just want to live!"

   The young man's roar suddenly came from behind him, and there was a sound like something was broken.

   It is meaningless to talk about morality to the people at the bottom. It is something that only people who have enough food and clothing will think about it.

   So Lu Li didn't plan to persuade him not to eat minced meat, get on the carriage with Lilia, and slowly leave the street.

   Only a calm voice echoed in the young man's ears.

   "The same goes for the people you hurt."
