Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 576 One hundred and fifty three. Disguise

   As if whispering from the bottom of his heart, he told Lu Li the identity he had acquired: a student of Shuteus University.

   The familiarity of arranging identities makes people think of the shadow of the thread, the difference is that the shadow of the thread as the manipulator dominates the plot and narration, and the "master" will not interfere with anything except the identity.

  Lu Li can do what he wants, even abandon his identity.

   But the consequences also need to be borne by oneself.

  The entrance of the Huates University, sitting in the wooden chair in front of the hut was the old man who was the gatekeeper—but that was not the old man Lu Li had seen when he came yesterday.

   In the upside-down city, his figure is a ricket-backed, rat-like long-haired, dark-brown **** covered by a cloak.

  It stared at Lu Li, its cloudy eyes in the darkness seemed to harbor malicious intentions. However, Lu Li only paused on it, and then walked into the school, calmly as if it was part of the university.

   Some students were wandering in the garden, and although it was late at night, the time began to blur after the Upside Down.

  "The third classroom on the second floor...the middle seat in the third row..."

   Following the guidance of the whisper, Lu Li walked into the place where he should go. Glancing at the dozen or so young faces in the classroom, no one was familiar.

   Lu Li sat in his seat. A quill was pressed against the notebook in front of him. Open the note and write Lu Li's name on the yellowed inner page.

   This is the notebook of "Student Lu Li".

   But when Lu Li wanted to open it to see if there was anything written on it, a fat hand stretched out diagonally and snatched away the notebook, and the sturdy figure was blocked beside him like a door panel.

  He looked down at Lu Li condescendingly, and waved his notebook: "Tell me, the face, what's written on it!"

   The whispers in the classroom faded, and the eyes of the "students" gathered.

  Lu Li calmly raised his head and stared at him, without answering, he tilted his head and asked a young girl sitting on the right seat, "Where is he sitting?"

   The girl held her chin and pointed her finger behind Lu Li.

   So Lu Li turned his head and picked up the fat figure's note, and asked back, "Human, tell me what you wrote in your note."

   Of course, the plump figure wouldn't read that notebook. He couldn't answer Lu Li, and he couldn't bear the price of guessing wrong.

  Lu Li picked up the scattered notes, opened the page, the handwriting on it was just some simple literary excerpts, nothing special.

   On the contrary, the **** the right side who was looking at Lu Li with nothing to do seemed to notice something and pursed the corner of her lips.

   Lu Li's crisis was easily lifted, and the classroom returned to the buzzing sound of students talking until the professor's figure stepped onto the podium.

   "Students, I'm your professor of weirdness, Gabriel Byrne."

  The professor of the image of a middle-aged man introduces himself.

   Lu Li's black eyes frowned slightly. The subject was supposed to be taught by Keig Foley... Didn't he survive that.

   "Professor of Weirdology? Teach us how to deal with ourselves?"

   There were several roars of laughter in the classroom. From those weird people who disdain to hide their identities, or people who pretend to be weird.

   Weirdology professor Gabriel Byrne didn't mind the offense from the students. After all, no matter whether he is weird or acting weird, it is impossible to really teach the students "under the stage".

   He just needs to open the textbook and read out the contents.

  No one listened, and the students went about their own business. In Lu Li's observation, some students occasionally show some kind of habitual behavior. For example, a young man will rub his eyes from time to time, pressing the eyeball, as if to confirm whether it is still in the eye socket. Another girl couldn't control her masseter muscles, her mouth was always open uncontrollably, and saliva gushed out.

   There is an odd balance in the classroom—the professor doesn't manage the money the way the students do, and the students don't bother the professor.

   After a few minutes, Lu Li's small tranquility was broken by the paper ball that suddenly fell on the table. It bounced and rolled a few times and stopped in front of it.

  Lu Li turned his head to look at the person who threw the paper ball—the girl who gave the hint earlier, and then unfolded the wrinkled paper: [The person who sounded the death knell of the evil god... Lu Li, I know you. How did you come here? 】

  Lu Li stared at the girl silently for a few seconds, then re-rolled the paper ball without responding.

   But soon, the second ball of paper was thrown on the table: [I should not trust others easily, but you are an exception, my cousin told me about you countless times]

  Lu Li paused for a while, and finally wrote a short message in the empty space: [Who is it]

   After receiving the response, the girl seemed to be relieved, and wrote down new content and threw it to Lu Li: [You must know. Keig Foley, you were partying with them yesterday]

   She claimed to be a relative of Keig Foley.

   She recognized Lu Li.

   She spoke of their party last night.

   These information seemed to tell Lu Li that he should not doubt her.

   But the truth about the Upside Down City above his head, and what he saw on the way to the university made Lu Li wary of everything—even though the Upside Down City that he could spy on was also difficult to support trust.

   All the weirdos disguised as humans he encountered along the way. They all seem to have pre-existing consciousness, or human-like intelligence. Pretend, communicate, make people unable to distinguish the difference from the real person.

   Even with the survivorship bias - the weirdness who can't play human has long been punished and ineligible to enter the "paradise", this situation is desperate enough.

  Because there are tens of thousands or even more weird and intelligent wandering in the city.

   They could be ghosts, they could be pagans, they could be minions. Either way, it can easily kill humans.

  As Lu Li replied, the paper **** began to travel between the two tables. The girl is too eager and unreserved to prove her identity. Lu Li responded to this, but he would not admit that he was Lu Li, nor would he admit that he was a human until he observed the Upside Down City.

  【What do you want to know, I will tell you as much as possible]

   As if guessing Lu Li's distrust, the girl wrote. And take the initiative to write something about yourself on a note.

   She called herself Doreen Fry, a member of the Fry family, and told Lu Li many secrets that only the Exorcist family would know, as well as things about her brother.

No loopholes could be found in her self-report, so everything became reasonable: she, like Lu Li, was arranged by the "Master" at the University of Shutes, and when she arrived, her cousin Keig Foley had died, and she could only hide in panic. But then Lu Li appeared and was recognized by her. So I want to cooperate with the only human being found and escape from this ghost place.

   One class was shorter than expected. Twenty minutes later, perhaps less than that, when Professor Gabriel Byrne called the get out of class off.

  Lu Li left his seat and walked out of the classroom, and Doreen Fry followed.
