Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 678 Two hundred and fifty-five.

   "Did we not close the door when we came out?"

   Seeing that the door of the tavern was open, someone said strangely.

   Back at the tavern, the hall was empty, and they soon saw the wallet on the round table and the note next to it.

"what is this?"

   Returning the wallet to the lost companion, he unfolded the note.

  【It's going to take me away...】

   The drunkenness faded, and the man's pale cheeks were filled with fear.

   "The monster is here again! It took him away!"

  …

  The last light on the horizon was swallowed by darkness, and it became difficult to see pedestrians on the street.

  The light of the distant port gradually became dim and disappeared into the fog.

  A strange fog was spreading from the street, and Emin Grolin came with an oil lamp.

   "I inquired about some news, and I also found this letter." Emin Grolin handed out the letter like a little girl waiting for a compliment.

   "Where to find it."

  Lu Li took out the letter and unfolded it, with Anna's message written on it.

  Anna also discovered the bizarre events in the two towns, and the missing persons were in a similar situation to Aunt Mary. She quietly followed the missing people to a suspected bizarre hiding place: an abandoned mine in the eastern hills of Luosha Town.

   She will find a way to enter the mine to explore.

  Emin Grolin's answer also sounded: "In a log cabin that nobody lives in, I'm watching from the door—"

  's voice was interrupted, and suddenly there were hurried shouts in the alley behind him.

   Looking at the direction from which the shouting came, Lu Li put away the letter and approached Emin Grolin where the incident happened.

  …

   There were many people standing in the tavern.

   There haven't been so many people here for a long time, but they were not guests and did not bring excitement.

   Fear was written on everyone's faces, and they looked at the round table with dinner plates and empty wine bottles.

   "It's Best's handwriting... He was taken away." The old town mayor sighed, put down the note, and asked the three people who were slumped in the wooden chair: "What happened at that time?"

   "We don't know anything..." said the man who smelled of alcohol lost his soul. "Cliff closes after dark as usual... It's a little early today because he's seen—"

   He suddenly saw the door of the tavern, a cloaked girl pulling a man with black hair and black eyes to appear behind the crowd.

"it's him!"

   The man exclaimed and pointed to the door.

   Numerous eyes in the tavern were focused on Lu Li and Emin Grolin, and people scattered away like the plague, away from the door.

   "No, it's not... Best said he was a demon slayer who came to help us from the Lord's Continent!" The man quickly explained.

   "I talked to him not long ago." Lu left the exit and looked around, but did not see the tavern owner in the crowd. "He was attacked by a monster?"

   "Yes...he is a new victim..." The old town mayor looked at Lu Li. "Best said you were the slayer, right?"

  Lu Li lifted his coat to show the local residents the salvation wrapped in an old gun holster.

   The psychic gun is more recognizable and convincing than the badge.

   The helpless local residents seized the straw and quickly believed in Lu Li's identity, and begged him to help people solve the weirdness.

  Emin Grolin also hoped that Lu Li could stay and help. Strictly speaking, she was the exorcist who came from the Lord's Continent to help Luosha Town solve the strange incident.

  Lu Li showed Anna's letter to Emin Grolin, and they had the same goal.

  According to the exorcist's process of dealing with the weirdness, they should ask the local residents what happened, investigate the weird residual traces in the town, and then wait for the next victim to appear.

   But because of Ana, they already know where the weirdness is, and they can go straight to it.

The    mayor and some residents hoped they would wait until dawn and the eerie fog receded. But Anna hasn't come back yet, and she may have encountered some trouble.

   Before departure, I asked the old town mayor about the abandoned mine in the eastern hills. The old town mayor frowned and said that it had been abandoned for decades, and the mines had already been mined out.

   Taking the carriage provided by Luosha Town, Lu Li and Emin Grolin drove out of the town and drove along the road into the dark fog.

   "The Exorcist's Handbook says not to drive through the night and the monstrous fog," said Emin Grolin.

   "Except it matters."

   The oil lamp beside him glowed with a dim yellow halo, dispelling the fog and darkness around the carriage.

  The abandoned mine is only a few miles away from Luosha Town. In other words, the establishment of Luosha Town is because of the mine.

   The Badlands has many similar towns. Some were lost due to depletion of minerals, and some were lucky to survive due to other resources nearby, such as Luosha Town.

  【Eastern Hills Mine】

  【Towards Luolei Fort】

   A fork in the road appeared, and the wooden sign in the middle of the road was engraved with indistinct writing.

  The carriage turned into the left fork, the ground was gradually mixed with dark cinders, and empty wooden boxes for coal were placed beside the road.

The    carriage stopped in front of the mine entrance.

   The sound of the hooves disappeared, and the name Death Silence scrambled to occupy the surroundings.

  Emin Grolin held the perception alarm clock in his hand, and shook his head lightly at Lu Li: "There's nothing weird around here."

  Lu Li pressed Redemption and wanted to use the psychic gun to perceive the surroundings, but was dissuaded by Emin Grolin: "Better not...you perceive them and they perceive you as well."

  In the mist of weirdness, weirdness may emerge from the surroundings at any time.

  Lu Li nodded lightly, releasing the clenched redemption.

   "There's a letter there..."

  Emin Grolin held up the oil lamp, and a brand new letter was posted on the roadside sign.

  Lu Li took down the letter left by Anna and took out the note.

  【It is different from the imagination...very weak. It is not one, but one of them]

  【Unbelievable, weird people believe in other weirdos】

  【Aunt Mary is not here, the other believers among them took her away, I pretended to let the weirdness in front of me escape, and then followed it to find their lair]

  【The Falling Thunder Fort. I remember the city there called this name]

  【By the way, there are several townspeople captured by it in the mine, but because it was dark, I let them stay in the mine until the daytime, you go back with them, don't take risks, come back after dawn]

  Anna was obviously not far from the land, maybe only ten minutes apart.

   "Or Miss Anna?" Emin Grolin asked aside.

"Um."

  Lu Li put away the letter and walked towards the mine. "Go in, Anna has already solved it."

  The townspeople were gathering around the fire when they found the people captured by the weird believers.

  Lu Li looked around, all of them were unfamiliar faces, and the tavern owner Best was not there.

   "I am the slayer."

After    revealed their identities to these fearful townspeople, people's guard quickly collapsed. When Lu Li asked about what happened before, they were arguing, saying that the one who rescued them was a young lady who claimed to be Lu Li's assistant.

   A woman took out a letter, saying that the assistant had asked her to give it to Lu Li. But it was a letter with the same content as posted on the notice board.

   They thought they would not be able to leave until the daytime, but they didn't expect Lu Li to come so quickly - just ten minutes later.

The    fire has not yet been fully lit.
