Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 677 Two hundred and fifty-four. Layout the script

  Qiaotou Port is just a small port.

   This can be seen from its name and the town it is attached to called Lynx Town.

   Nothing but rocky sand and dead bushes. But it also brings a unique advantage to Bobcat Town: terrain.

   Lynx Town is at the very edge of the World Ridge Mountains. The north is the World Ridge Mountains that stretches for thousands of miles from the coast. The south is a gentle continental shelf to plains.

   This gives the northern part of Bobcat Town a natural deep water harbor. As long as a simple small dock, you can make a giant like the Ashuri dock.

   Of course, it can also be disturbing.

  Because beyond the beach is an abyss-like deep sea.

  The whistle echoed in the evening twilight. Lu Li and Emin Grolin, as well as some sporadic passengers disembarked here.

The Ashuri had to dock for a while to replenish supplies. Lu Li helped Emin Grolin carry the suitcase. She followed with three generous books, bypassing the local residents who were about to board the ship, and left the port on crunching wooden boards. .

   The town of Lynx, not far away, lit up.

Emin Grolin stepped up and followed Lu Li behind, muttering like a side assistant: "According to the steps in the exorcist manual, we should first investigate the surrounding area and ask the local residents if there is any abnormality... Is that right, Mr. Lu Li? "

"Um."

   But maybe the steps can be bypassed. For example, Anna waited in Lynx Town, or left a clue in Lynx Town.

   Step into Bobcat Town. Because of the route, it is not as lifeless as most inland towns, but it is deserted because of its sparse population - most residents migrate to live in Luoleibao, two hundred miles away.

   While it was still dark, Lu Li took Emin Grolin to explore in Lynx Town.

   There is no obvious difference between the natives of the Badlands and the Lord's Continent, except that the skin color is close to wheat color due to long exposure to the sun.

   Originally, the complexion was darker, but after the cloud cover continued to cover the earth a few months ago, the sun was lost, and the people here became much whiter.

   "It's getting dark, Mr. Lu Li, we can explore separately, and then meet here." Emin Grolin suggested.

  Lu Li did not refuse, took out the pen and drew Aunt Mary's symbol and handed it to Emin Grolin

   "Be careful, your psychic gun is not a decoration." Lu Li reminded. Emin Grolin also had a psychic gun, but she might not have dared to pull the trigger.

   "Of course, don't underestimate me, Mr. Lu Li."

   Emin Grolin raised his chin proudly, revealing his white neck: "How can I say that I am also a child of the Grolin family."

   The two separated, and Lu Li continued to search along the street with two oil lamps. The light is an ordinary oil lamp, and the dark is the "lighthouse".

  There is a pub in the center of the town. There are not many customers, but they are very familiar with the owner behind the counter.

  As Lu Li walked in, they lowered their voices and followed this strange face.

   "I want to inquire about something." Lu Li said when he walked to the counter.

   "Of course, Gentiles."

   The boss grinned, and the locals of the Badlands were still able to tell the difference between people from other places.

   "Has something strange happened recently in Lynx Town and Luosha Town?"

   The boss froze his smile, paused for more than ten seconds, and then slowly whispered: "You shouldn't know this... Listen to my persuasion, take a good sleep and go back."

   "I'm an exorcist." Lu Li replied calmly.

   "...Speaking here will scare my guests, go upstairs and say it." The tavern owner gave Lu Li a deep look, greeted the curious guests to continue, and brought Lu Li to the second floor.

   "Are you here to fix it!"

   As soon as he entered the room, the tavern owner couldn't wait to ask.

   "I need to know what's going on first." Lu Li replied.

   "Of course...of course..." the tavern owner repeated in a low voice, slowly recounting the shadows that had enveloped the two small towns recently.

   Lynx Town and Luosha Town are like a pair of best brothers. At the same time, they made money because of Qiaotou Port, at the same time they were down and out because of the silence, and at the same time they were attacked by strange people.

   The first victim was a groom who was transporting goods. He disappeared in the short twenty miles from Bobcat Town to Luosha Town, leaving behind a truckload of goods. People followed the footprints, but unfortunately everything was covered by wind and sand day and night.

   Soon the next victim was born, a prestigious old man in Luosha Town. The weird thing is that the day he disappeared everyone saw him talking to people as usual. People wondered where he was going, but the old man walked out of the town and never came back.

   The third victim was a harbour conductor in Lynxtown. The poor woman just stayed in the cramped ticket booth selling tickets and disappeared.

   Soon, a fourth, fifth, and more victims appeared. Some disappeared suddenly, and some suddenly said strange words such as "it's calling me" and "I'm leaving" to relatives and friends, walked out of the town and disappeared in the periphery of the town.

  The residents of the two towns are all in danger. The local exorcist is only a temporary priest of the small church, not a real exorcist.

   Their experience is almost the same as Aunt Mary, and it seems that the real culprit has been successfully found.

   But where are Auntie Anna and Mary now?

   He continued to ask the tavern owner if he had seen Aunt Mary and a figure shrouded in a cloak. The tavern owner shook his head and said he had never seen it before.

   Before Lu Li left, the tavern owner asked him to help resolve the crisis between the two towns. Lu Li replied that he would consider it and left the tavern to meet Emin Grolin.

  The tavern owner returned to the hall, the drinkers hurriedly asked him what happened, and the guests teased if it was his rich nephew from afar.

   "It's getting dark, you should go back."

   The tavern owner waved his hand impatiently. "And be polite. That respected demon slayer from the Lord's Continent is here to help us solve our troubles."

   "Slayer!?"

  The tavern with a few people suddenly became noisy and noisy.

   "I read the news! The exorcist is more powerful than the exorcist!"

   "Does that slayer master have a solution to the disappearance!"

   "Did you tell the slayer that so many people were missing in one day!"

  The drinkers were hustling, the tavern owner took a deep breath and roared, "I told Lu Li everything, get out of my tavern now!"

  The guests complained and were kicked out of the tavern by the unkind tavern owner. Looking at the deserted hall, the anger of the tavern owner gradually faded, becoming strangely discordant.

   The tavern owner bent down and picked up the shriveled purse on the floor, and put it and a letter on the round table, where there was a table of guests not long ago. Then he walked out of the tavern numb, like a stiff corpse burrowing into a dark alley without light.

  Not far away, three diners who smelled of alcohol were walking towards the tavern, and one of them was constantly groping for his clothes, as if he had lost something important.
