Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 587 One hundred and sixty-four. Clean up the hotel

  Jermine Reid, the exorcist who is not in the three major organizations, knows a lot more than Gavier York, but it is also limited. More often he is hiding himself to survive rather than looking for other survivors.

   "Beware of the weirdness that can infiltrate human beings, most of them have the ability to acquire our memories..." Jemini Red's tone suddenly became slow and suspicious. He subconsciously thought that if a certain weirdness stole Lu Li's memory...

   Lu Li guessed what he was thinking, but this suspicion is destined to be difficult to explain and prove, unless a monster is killed.

It happened that Lu Li could do this, but Javier York spoke faster, telling Jemini Red about Lu Li's encounter with the exorcist disguised as the Fry family, and did not forget to help at the end. Lu Li cleared his suspicions: "And I saw with my own eyes Lu Li and his assistant cut as easily as butter... Killed two monsters, and they haven't even reacted!"

   Hearing the words, Jemini Red bowed slightly and said apologetically, "Please forgive my sudden suspicion."

"this is correct."

  If it wasn't for the ability to spy on Upside Down City, Lu Li would be more suspicious than him, but he wouldn't show it.

  Jemini Reid continued to analyze the current situation: there must be many survivors in the royal city that has become a strange paradise. Either hide themselves alone, or gather like them. The three major organizations may be able to distinguish between strange and human like Lu Li, and they are safer and more vulnerable to attack. Everyone knows what Paradise is targeting at this time: the Council of Exorcists.

  Wangcheng is not allowed to go out for the time being. Jemini Reid has made three plans: set up a safe house to slowly absorb survivors; join with members of the joint organization; act alone to clean up the weirdness.

   But the choice belongs to Lu Li, and he may also choose the fourth plan—

   "We'll go to the investigator base to explore later." Lu Li said. "You stay here."

   He had to give them the clues the old witcher had first, though they might have known it already. Then explore the purpose of "Paradise" and how to get out.

   It cannot be sustained indefinitely. It always disappears at some point, or explodes.

   "Of course." Jemini Red replied subconsciously, stunned after hearing the second half of the sentence: "Aren't we going together?"

   "There may be danger, you and York better stay."

  Jemini Reid wanted to say something, but as Lu Li said, there is a high chance of encountering danger on the road, so he and Gavier York are not suitable to follow.

   "Then what can we do?" Jemini Red needs to keep busy so he doesn't think too much.

   "Yes, but before that..."

  Lu Li's black eyes drooped down to his feet.

  Behind the gap between the floors, a malicious eye peeked at them.

  Anna's fist fell like a thunderbolt, penetrated the floor, and picked up a middle-aged man in the flying sawdust.

  Jamini Reid recognized it, the innkeeper busy in the back kitchen.

  Anna pulled out the kitchen knife from Lu Li's waist, slashed across the innkeeper's limbs, and dropped his torso. And Lu Li threw the psychic gun on the torso that lost his limbs like he was lighting a bale of hay with a match.

  chi—

   The innkeeper began to gasp.

   "That's how it was at the time!" Javier York was so excited that he could hardly suppress his voice. "If we could fix all the weirdness..."

   Jemini Reid, who knows more information, is not so naive: "Do you know how many monsters are mixed in the city? Almost every street is full of monsters. There are at least hundreds of thousands of monsters in this city."

   Even the numbers are desperate enough.

Lu Li lowered his head, looked at the guests downstairs who raised their heads curiously, and said to Jemini Reid: "Before we leave, we will clean up the weirdness in the hotel, you disguised as the hosts here, and painted crow marks on the windows. If there are survivors I'll let them come here."

When the    voice fell, Anna kicked the stump downstairs and jumped down from the broken hole. On the other side, Lu Li picked up Redemption, retracted the holster, walked out of the room and went down the stairs.

   "Remember the password."

  Gavill York shouted from behind.

  Lu Li and Anna didn't leave immediately, at least Red and York upstairs watched a few minutes of hunting and killing weird dramas. After cleaning the hall, the two went upstairs and rang the occupied guest rooms one by one.

  Reid and York felt a little bit that the title of "Ringing the Death Knell of the Cthulhu" matched Lu Li's.

  This kind of weird power that can be seen everywhere is limited. Although they have various weird abilities, the damage they can withstand is not much higher than that of ghosts.

  Lu Li will not be so careless. Because Jemini Reid carefully reminded himself that he had been attacked by the evil spirit Visible Song - fortunately Visible Song just passed by and did not pester him. But it also explained one thing: there are not only weird people wandering in the royal city, but also evil spirits and evil spirits, which cannot be dealt with with common sense and routine.

  Unexpectedly, in the process of dealing with the strangeness of the hotel, they found a surviving human: the guy who was dozing off on the counter. He was almost treated as a freak by Anna, but his terrified screams saved his life. After being taken by Lu Li outside the door to confirm his identity, he was sent to Red York.

   After dealing with all the weirdness in the hotel, Anna gathered the corpses in the lobby, while Lu Li found the dead claw in the sewer in the backyard of the hotel and in a finger-sized hole in the wall of the lobby.

   Withered claws are like fish gathered on the shore, crowding in the sewers, tearing apart the bodies thrown by Lu Li.

   He didn't find the familiar severed fingers and claws.

   After feeding them three corpses, Lu Li and Anna returned to the hall. No help was needed, and the limbs were swayed in front of the hole, and the withered claws in the wall spontaneously dismantled the planks and accepted feeding.

   After the third corpse was fed, Anna stopped Lu Li from continuing, and suggested that the remaining two could be taken away and fed to the dead claw on the street—

   Feeding them repeatedly will not allow the accumulation of goodwill.

  So they found sacks from the basement, packed the two remaining bodies, and said goodbye to Jemini Red and left the hotel.

  …

   On the street, Anna dragged the bulging sack and walked side by side with Lu Li. They stop every time they pass an alley or roadside sewers where Drypaws exist. Open sacks full of limbs, and hand out food like a rich man who distributes bread to beggars.

   They look weirder than weird and are considered wasteful by some coveted passersby.

  Anna doesn't plan to walk around with a sack on her back, and withered claws are everywhere in the city—the sack behind her is empty and nothing is left before she finishes this street.

  Anna threw away the empty sack, picked up Lu Li again, and went to the disguised shop at the investigator base: Strange Grocery.
