Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 676 Two hundred and fifty-three. Actors on stage

  The food in the second and last class is only mashed potatoes and fish cakes. The advantage is that there is an unlimited supply. You can eat as long as you can, as long as you don’t take it away.

  The fish cake tasted worse than expected. Although it smells like saliva after being fried, the strong fishy smell that fills the taste buds and the bitterness from the unremoved bitter gall make it hard to swallow.

   But for the commoners who rarely eat meat, this is quite a sumptuous dinner.

   What could be more blissful than an all-you-can-eat meal?

   Lu Li didn't eat too much, but Emin Grolin was very interested in the fish mud cake, one piece after another, almost eating the weight of an adult man.

During the period of   , I visited when it was quiet, and the hurried alarm bell rang the restaurant that was noisy and hot in the previous second.

   Ten minutes later, the ground alarm bell sounded again to announce the end. There were many sighs of relief in the restaurant, and the atmosphere gradually eased, but it was difficult to restore the initial liveliness.

  After the meal, Emin Grolin sucked his fingers and shyly complained to Lu Li that his stomach was bloated.

   She saw that Lu Li was not used to these foods, and gave him some fruits after returning to the cabin.

  It will be a day after the Ashuri arrives on the west coast of the Badlands, so it is important to keep your spirits up. At eight o'clock in the evening, Emin Grolin closed the pharmacy and put it back on the bedside table, and began to take off the outermost cloak.

   Inside is a casual outfit that outlines a beautiful figure. She quietly glanced at Lu Li, who was flipping through Wei Xue, and retracted into the quilt. There was a rustling movement, and her fair-skinned arms came out clutching her jacket and pants.

  Emin Groling seems to be too open.

   Or put too much trust in Lu Li.

   "Good night, Mr. Lu Li." Emin Grolin curled up under the quilt and said shyly with only one head exposed.

The    cabin returned to silence, and Emin Grolin didn't get a response from Lu Li.

   "Mr. Lu Li?"

   After more than ten seconds, Emin Grolin couldn't help breaking the silence.

   "What." Lu Li looked up calmly.

   "Why did you... I thought you didn't hear me say goodnight."

   It seems that the quilt is warmer, and the outline under the quilt is stretched.

"I heard."

   "Well...but you didn't respond..." Emin Grolin said in a low voice aggrieved, covering her mouth and nose, revealing only a pair of eyes with long eyelashes.

   "...not used to it."

   "Why?" Emin Grolin asked curiously.

  If the three organizations did not merge, this curious girl should be the seed of an investigator.

   "Some personal matters."

"All right……"

   The cabin became quiet again with Emin Grolin muttering in loss.

   Occasionally there are footsteps and conversations in the corridor, but as the night gets darker, only the occasional "crunch" deformation sound from the inside of the hull remains.

   It was approaching nine o'clock in the evening, and Lu Lihe started to learn strange things.

   The opposite Emin Grolin seemed to have fallen asleep, with a sweet smile on her cheeks.

  Lu Li took off his black coat and hung it behind the door, lay down in the cool quilt, and fell asleep.

   As time went on, most of the Ashuri had fallen silent except for the still hustle and bustle of two dining halls and the daring couple lingering on the deck under the searchlights, and the busyness of the lower boiler floor.

The   Ashuri traversed the calm sea shrouded in fog quietly.

  If there is no accident, this calm will continue until the eerie fog recedes after dawn——

  In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of chaotic and anxious footsteps in the corridor outside the cabin.

   Along with it, the crew members shouted.

   "All passengers keep quiet, don't put the oil lamp near the porthole, draw the curtains, stay in the cabin and don't go out! All passengers keep quiet, don't put the oil lamp near the porthole, draw the curtain, stay in the cabin and don't go out!"

   The sleeping passengers were awakened and couldn't help opening the door to look out, but they could only see the crew hurried by shouting the above.

   "What's wrong!?" Emin Grolin woke up and asked Lu Li, who had taken away the oil lamp, in a panic.

   "Maybe encountered something."

  Lu Li turned down the brightness of the oil lamp and hooked his arms to the bedpost to prevent the boat from shaking suddenly and falling over.

  Emin Grolin also learned to land and hug the bedbar. The quilt slipped from the body, revealing only the youthful ketone body of the vest.

   "All passengers keep quiet, don't put oil lamps near the porthole, draw the curtains, stay in the cabin and don't go out!"

  The crew ran down the corridor again shouting, and the cabin fell into absolute silence. It didn't last long, and the lights on the ceiling dimmed suddenly.

  OM——

  The sailing Ashuri cut off all electrical power, and the lights on the portholes and deck went out one by one, spreading from the stern to the bow, and finally into the night.

  The silent Ashuri is like a giant iceberg, quietly floating on the sea.

  In the panic of all the crew and passengers, time passed slowly. Darkness surged on the sea covered by curtains.

   crunch——

   The reverberating deformation of the hull became clearer in the silence, the hull tilted slightly, but quickly recovered. It was as if some kind of gigantic existence swam past the Ashuri, stirring the undercurrent.

   Lu Li, who has low sanity and high human nature, can perceive more: an obscure, oppressive atmosphere is lingering on the bottom of the Ashuri. Its broad back brushed lightly against the bottom of the boat, causing the Ashuri to tremble slightly.

  Its perception is very dull, it doesn't realize that this piece of floating object carries a lot of food, or it is not interested, and soon, the obscure atmosphere is gone, and the sea surface becomes smooth.

   A few minutes later, the overhead lights flickered on, and the pouring lights dispelled the depression and anxiety of the passengers.

  Emin Grolin seemed to let out a long sigh of relief, then looked curiously at the palm of Lu Li's waist: "Is that your weapon? Is that a psychic gun?"

"Um."

  Luli lightened the oil lamp and put it away.

  Emin Grolin grabbed his cloak and put it on at this moment, jumped to the ground with some blush on his cheeks and bare feet, opened the door and looked out.

   Many other passengers came to the corridor like her and asked what happened just now.

  The crew was approaching, when Emin Grolin stopped her and asked, "May I ask what happened just now?"

   "It's just a little trouble, miss, everything is over, please rest well." The crew replied formulaically, and every passenger who encountered it after that answered the same question.

   This situation is just an episode, more than 2,000 crew and passengers have not suffered bad luck.

   But not without casualties. For example, some crew passengers died accidentally in silence, and there were evil spirits who slipped on the Ashuri to steal food.

   It's not a good sign to encounter such a thing on the first night of a seven-day, six-night voyage.

   Passengers' expectations of going to their new home were dispelled a lot.

   But this has nothing to do with Lu Li and Emin Grolin. The next evening, the Ashuri approached the port of Qiaotou on the west coast of the Badlands
