Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 588 One hundred and sixty-five

  It is unbelievable that they can even rent a carriage on the street, and the currency paid is not flesh and blood but shillings.

   It’s just that Lu Li in the carriage whispered to Anna, those are not horses – although weirdness prefers humans, other flesh and blood can also satisfy appetite.

  Perhaps there is not even a real mouse in the royal city at this moment.

   The horses that pull the cart are disguised as scorpion-like reptiles with many legs, and the tentacles of the thickness of the arms sway quickly on the bluestone road.

  The carriage drove through the damp and dark wide street, and Lu Li by the window kept observing the street and the upside-down city. The situation was worse than it had been an hour ago, the streets were almost all eerie in disguise, and there were hardly any humans to be seen.

   Even passing through the confrontation that attracted the attention of the onlookers, the two sides who suspected each other were strange disguise.

   Hope people are just aware of the dangers outside and nothing else.

  Twenty minutes later, the carriage arrived near the grotesque grocery store. At the location of the former Thutes Public Library, the silhouette of the construction site pointed sharply towards the sky in the gloom.

   This site may never be finished.

   stepped out of the carriage, and Lu Li and Anna walked into the weird grocery store under the greedy gaze of the horses behind them.

  Kacha——

   The lampshade of the overturned oil lamp was stepped on underfoot. Lu Li lowered his eyes and looked around the grocery store.

   The store seems to have been looted not long ago, the shelves collapsed, the counters that moved sideways blocked the road to the basement, and the trampled debris scattered around.

   but no congeners, as if someone were still in a hurry to put them away in a pinch.

   This gives the grocery store a cloak of deliberate camouflage.

   looked at each other, Lu Li stepped into the grocery store, Anna went to push aside the counter in the way, and found a little detail: some tools were coincidentally pressed behind the counter.

   After clearing the obstacles, Lu Li and Anna came to the entrance of the basement.

   "You stay here, I'll go down." Anna said.

   "Together." Lu Li picked up the holster and handed the kitchen knife to Anna.

   Anna, who said nothing, took the kitchen knife and walked into the dark and silent basement with Lu Li.

  The sound of footsteps echoed, and the coldness of the ground caused a pimple on the skin.

   stepped on the last step and stood on the level ground. The empty and dark hall was filled with a thin mist, and it seemed that no one was there——

Da da da--

  The sound of footsteps that did not belong to them suddenly echoed in the depths of the hall. In Anna's curved eyes that gradually became cold, several figures covered in blood appeared from the dark depths.

   "Another prey came..."

   The cold whispers spread along with the whispers.

   Lu Li's response was to lift off his coat, revealing the redemption at his waist.

   If human, they would recognize psychic guns. If not, Anna and Redemption will bury them.

   The blood-stained figure stagnated, and at this moment, a man with an oil lamp emitting a dim light walked out between them, unable to see his face.

   "The exorcist?"

   A low voice of inquiry echoed.

   "Senior investigator Lu Li." Lu Li said.

  The man surrounded by the gray fog nodded lightly: "True Sight Night Watchman, Uri Reinhardt Weeks."

   The third-level exorcist is only one step away from becoming a legendary spire.

   But why did the night watchman appear at the investigator base?

   And is his identity true?

   "Like you, I lost contact with the United Organization." Reinhard Weeks seemed to guess what Lu Chen was thinking. "The Night's Watch's office, the Demon Slayer's hut, and even here can't find them."

   "Solved by weirdness?" This bad news made Lu Li frown.

   "It's not like, I didn't find the body and the mark. They are more like..." Reinhard Weck didn't say the last words, and instead said: "I heard about you, do you want to join us?"

   Reinhardt Wick's invitation seemed flippant at a time of mutual suspicion. Lu Li swept over the bloodstained figures and asked, "How do you distinguish them."

   "It's very simple, the weirdness in Paradise cannot kill the weirdness." Reinhard Weck replied, patting the back of the hand holding the oil lamp lightly.

   Another figure came out from the edge of darkness. On the plate he was holding was a psychic gun and ten silver-plated bullets.

   "Please prove your identity, Mr. Lu Li."

  Lu Li silently watched the figure getting closer and closer, and suddenly shook his head gently: "No, I don't plan to join you."

   Perhaps delusional, the atmosphere among these survivors feels oppressive and strange.

   And they know nothing.

   "You can't leave."

When    turned to leave here, Reinhard Weck's voice came from behind.

   "Captivate!"

   "Catch this defector!"

   "Don't let them go!"

  The frenzied shouts suddenly echoed in the underground base, and the faces of the survivors swarmed with excitement, and they paused because of Reinhard Wick's words.

   "All stop."

   The low voice drowned out all the angry shouts. Reinhard Wick, who was carrying an oil lamp in the gloom, seemed like the protagonist of a drama in the spotlight, solemn like a priest. He calmly looked at Lu Li and Anna, his sculptural face showed no emotion: "I won't imprison you, but I hope you don't tell anyone about us after you leave."

   "Including the joint organization?" Lu Li asked.

   "Includes syndicates."

   "I will." Lu Li nodded. "But what's the reason."

   "Let them go." Reinhard Weck did not answer Lu Li's question, but said to the survivors: "Then close the door, we don't need anyone else anymore."

  Lu Li and Anna retreated to the steps. The excited survivors, who became extremely frantic because of Reinhard Wick's last words, pushed the heavy iron gate to close the passage to the ground.

   "Remember us, Lu Li."

   Suddenly a sigh-like whisper echoed out, and when Lu Li heard it, the heavy iron door was already closed heavily in front of him.

   The surging dust quickly returned to silence.

   Before the entrance, Anna frowned and said, "They're not quite right..."

  Lu Li recalled the last words of Reinhard Wick - Tristan also said similar words.

"leave."

   He didn't say anything, and walked out of the grocery store with Anna and returned to the street.

   "Where to go next?" Anna asked, waiting for the thinking Lu Li to answer.

   Whether or not Reinhard Weck is Reinhard Weck, the information he revealed is likely to be true: the three major organization bases are empty.

  The Exorcist United Organization noticed the danger ahead of time, so they left, and what secrets they planned to leave are unknown to Lu Li, but obviously, it was difficult for Lu Li to find them through superficial clues.

"Let's go back."

  Lu Li said that now all he can do is search for survivors and clean up the weirdness around him.

   As for those mysteries, the meaning of Upside Down Town Paradise, the disappearance of the three major organizations, the plans of Tristan and Reinhard Wick—

   Obviously everything has not been revealed yet.
