Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 571 One hundred and forty-eight. The strange fog that shrouded

   "Will they bring their belongings out?"

   "Certainly not...there can be weirdness in the house."

   "Just burn a street down like that?"

"if not?"

   "What a pity...how did it go out!?"

   Under the gaze of two panicked eyes, the distant flames stopped abruptly and fell into darkness.

   "What's the matter...hs!"

   The guard who complained about the weather at first suddenly raised his palm and was blocked by the helmet again.

   "What's the matter with you?" The companion on the side quickly asked. The fire that went out in the distance made him panic. Even a peek behind the streetlights and the curtains of the surrounding houses could not give him a sense of security on an empty street.

   "Maybe it's too cold, it's a little uncomfortable." The stinging pain in the cheek quickly subsided, and the guard waved his hand indifferently and replied. "Compared to this...what happened on the block at five o'clock?"

   "It doesn't matter to us, we'll just be optimistic about this place... It's better to step back a little, I have a bad feeling..." The companion clenched the cold spear and stared nervously ahead. When he didn't get a response, he turned his head and glanced strangely - the guard shivered strangely and raised his head, revealing a skull-thin face covered with white fluff in his helmet.

   "Tell Erin, I..."

   he said in a strangely muffled tone, and fell forward.

  嘭——

The    guard fell, and countless snow-white dandelions burst out of the gaps in his armor.

  Dang 啷——

   Another guard misses and releases his spear.

   Of course he knew what it was! Holding his head, he ran to the dark and dead five o'clock block, the whole street echoed with his exhausted shouting.

   "Weird rushed out!!!"

  …

   "Who wrote it?"

   "No attribution."

  There is nothing to hide on the note, nothing but a warning.

  Anna stopped talking and waited for Lu Li's decision.

   While thinking about the paper, the red sky outside the window suddenly darkened, and the clouds no longer revealed a touch of light.

   "Retreat to the farm outside the Wangcheng." Lu Li said.

   There is an abandoned farm a few miles away from the royal city. Lu Li would hide there to observe the situation in Wangcheng. If everything continued to tilt towards the bad side, he could only give up participating in the Exorcist Council and leave the Lord's Continent.

  Ana picked up the suitcase and the oil lamp and pushed the wheelchair to wake up Lilia in the next room.

   Lilia hadn't fallen asleep, and after telling her that Ellen King City might be invaded by a strange creature, she agreed to leave with Lu Li.

   Came to the downstairs lobby, where several guests and the hotel clerk gathered by the window, peeping outside.

   Their arrival went unnoticed until Anna let down the latch and opened the tavern door.

   A faint fog shrouded the street, and the light emitted by the street lamps became dim and hazy.

   "The weird fog..." Anna frowned and whispered.

"What are you doing!?"

   A guest has already identified what the fog is, and screamed for Anna to close the door.

  Ana ignored them, pushed Lu Li in the reminder of "Danger outside, come in quickly", and walked out of the hotel with Lilia.

boom!

   The door of the hotel closed tightly behind him, followed by the sound of the latch.

   "The weird fog shouldn't come so soon..." Anna murmured, the situation was worse than expected.

   Lu Li in the wheelchair lifted the "lighthouse" oil lamp. If there was an approach in the fog, he would light this expensive oil lamp.

   No longer hiding her identity, Anna grabbed the stunned Lilia and flew towards the city wall.

   They passed the city wall, and the shouts and chaotic footsteps of the city guards came from the mist below.

   They are closing the city gates.

   Just a few dozen meters away from the city of Ellen, a flame suddenly rose from the city wall behind him, dispelling the shrouded fog.

  Lu Li turned his head and looked at the sky above the city wall. The edge of the sky that could be touched by the firelight, an upside-down Ellen King City faintly appeared. It was equally majestic, but it was shrouded in endless darkness, like a mirage in the sky of the king city, very close...

   And as he got away from the city wall, what he saw just now disappeared like a phantom in layers of fog.

   Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Li's gaze fell down. With the closing of the city gate, the fog was shrouded, and the motorcade and the people waiting to enter the city fell into chaos.

   "Come down." Lu Li said.

  Anna didn't ask the reason, and took Lu Li and Lilia down in front of the convoy. People on the ground had long noticed the "monster" falling from the sky, screaming and backing away, leaving a large space.

   Only one exorcist recognized the badge on Lu Li's chest and asked tentatively, "Your Excellency came out of the royal city?"

"There is a weird rampage in the city of Ellen, and the city gate is closed." Lu Li replied, and continued before the exorcist spoke: "There is a farm a few miles away, I will go there to avoid the weird fog, you better go too There until the day comes."

   "It really is a weird fog..." The exorcist muttered to himself, and said to Lu Li again: "Of course, but please wait a moment, I'm going to tell the others and the civilians."

   These exorcists who escorted the convoy still don't know what happened in the royal city.

  Lu Li nodded and watched the exorcist walk into the convoy.

  Civilians were no longer afraid, but they still did not dare to approach Lu Li, they just looked curiously from a distance.

   Also curious was Lilia, but she probably guessed something and didn't say anything.

   "Did you find anything?" Anna asked in a low voice.

   She noticed that Lu Li had been observing the sky above Ellen King City.

  Lu Li nodded and told Anna of the phantom-like upside-down king city he saw.

  Anna didn't notice anything, but she wouldn't doubt Lu Li's words. He said that seeing it means that the scene is real.

   The most pessimistic conspiracy theories are coming to fruition: Whether or not it's an Exorcist conspiracy, the weirdness is indeed targeting the city and tomorrow's meeting of the Exorcists.

   Soon, the exorcist and his three companions returned to Lu Li and told Lu Li that a few of them were willing to go to the farm, and a small number of civilians.

   Most of the people and exorcists trust the thousand-year-old royal city in the center of the kingdom, even if there is a little problem now.

   It has nothing to do with not believing in Lu Li. This kind of trust in Wangcheng is more like supporting their beliefs - if even one of the most brilliant and great cities in human civilization can't resist weirdness, does human beings really have a future?

  Lu Li, Anna and Lilia got into a vacated carriage and led the way. There were sparse spots of light in the long fire dragon and followed behind them.

  Rico Farm, there are several low wooden houses in the middle of the flat and soft farmland.

  The convoys that came here unloaded the goods to the middle of the farm under the arrangement of exorcists and soldiers, and then blocked the road of the farm with carriages.

   They raised a large bonfire in the clearing at the center of the farmhouse, large enough to be found a few miles away, to dispel the fog that enveloped the farmhouse. It's conspicuous, but also very safe. At least the presence that appears with the weird fog doesn't leave the fog's range.
