Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 683 Two hundred sixty

   Broken plant roots scattered around the hospital bed, the parasitic banyan tree on the infected person faded green, the naked eye shriveled and withered, and finally dumped on the slightly undulating chest, turning into a pool of broken ashes.

   The dumped banyan tree is the last piece of vegetation on the infected person.

   The "lighthouse" gradually dimmed. Without the tentacles covering, the skinny human figure on the hospital bed was revealed.

   "What's going on..." The exorcist and Emin gathered around again.

   "Parasitic plants consist of human nature."

  Lu Li put the "lighthouse" in the hands of the infected person, but maybe he lost too much humanity, or the infected person was not conscious and the oil lamp didn't come on anymore.

   As for why plants light up the lighthouse, Lu Li thought of one word: dedication.

   The most severely infected patient seemed to have been expelled from the plant disease. The non-local exorcists and nurses who came to hear the news checked and confirmed that all the plants on her body had disappeared.

  Some spider-like scars that stretched limbs climbed on the surface of her skin, which were traces left by roots and had lost their activity.

  The infected person is still in a coma because of the weakness caused by plant diseases dulling the mind and long-term malnutrition, and temporarily unable to wake up to answer questions.

   But in any case, the news that plant diseases can be solved is heartening at this time.

   The trunk of the second most serious patient also grew saplings, but it looked like an oak tree. Therefore, it did not become the terrifying sight of the banyan tree patient's body covered with roots.

  Wash-

   The branches with green leaves swayed gently, seeming to be happy for Lu Li's arrival.

   The "lighthouse" touches the sapling, and once again blooms with the warmth and warmth of the afternoon sun.

   The patients gathered not far away were greedy and felt the light shining.

   The flickering light burned for half a minute and gradually faded away.

   Most of the plants on the infected person's body have withered and fallen off, and the rest have been found by the care workers and solved one by one.

   The third patient to be treated is not the third most serious patient, but a patient whose arm grows branches and is always slow to respond.

  The brilliance of human nature lights up for a few seconds and then disappears. After the branches are broken, only a light imprint like a tree stump is left on the patient's arm. The patient's mind is no longer dull, and he says "this sobriety feels better than ever".

   "Lighthouse" can indeed cure plant diseases, and it will take some time to see whether it is really cured.

   One infected person receiving treatment. Except for severe patients who lost their ability to think, most infected people regained consciousness. But they still have to stay on the second floor of the Exorcist Association for a while.

   The last person to receive treatment was Xiao Linna. Her eyes, which were not wrapped in gauze, stared nervously, and the oil lamp touched the pocket sapling on her forehead.

  The saplings shrank and fell off, and the wick of the oil lamp was like a firefly, only flickering faintly.

   "My little tree only lit up a little..." Little Linna was a little disappointed.

   "Are there any other saplings?"

  Little Linna shook her head gently, covering her eyes that were scratched by the bad guy and were in pain.

   "Your illness is cured."

   Indistinctly, Lu Li's tone seemed to soften, and then he looked at the exorcists behind him: "There may be other infected people hiding in Luoleibao, we have to find them."

  The soldiers of Leibao quickly dispatched, going from house to house to search for the infected, and then went to the gallows for treatment——

   "Treat patients in public." This is what Emin suggested. Infected people hide themselves out of fear, but if the disease can be treated and they can be trusted, they will come forward.

   This did make some infected people who were hiding take the initiative to come to the gallows, but it also spread Lu Li's fame. The rumors of black-haired and black-eyed demon slayers walking in the barren land were spreading around Leibao.

  Treat the last infected on the gallows, a symbol of death, and hundreds of citizens have gathered around the square.

   Calm eyes swept across the crowd, Lu Li left the gallows and disappeared into the eyes of the crowd.

   "Many nobles approached me and said they hoped to invite you as a guest." The city lord in a bearskin coat looked like a beast.

   "If they were infected."

   "Just a bunch of idiots who are afraid of death." The city lord showed his disdain for the nobles, and looked down at Lu Li approvingly: "I have seen all your contributions to Luoleibao. Stay, on condition that you open."

   Lu Li once again refused to win over the city lord. The city owner regretted, but did not force him to stay. The Badlands is a poor place, and too far from heaven, too close to a time of silence.

   "Then please stay in the fort for a few days, my people need your help." This is the true purpose of the city lord.

   "My assistant is still in Tavi Town, I'm going to find her." Lu Li replied.

   "That's easy, I'll have a team of guards and exorcists accompany you tomorrow."

   "Maybe it's too late, I'll go over now."

  The harmonious atmosphere suddenly became depressed and silent because of these words.

   "Are you telling a joke? Exorcist." The city lord's smile disappeared from his face, his face under the torch was gloomy, and he looked down at Lu Li indifferently: "It will be dark soon."

   "Black Sky Road will not disappear." Lu Li replied calmly.

  The city lord continued to watch Lu Li, and the exorcist looked at it embarrassingly, trying to ease the atmosphere but couldn't get into the conversation. At a certain moment, the city lord waved his hand like a fly and said impatiently: "Whatever you want. If you need help, go to my captain of the guards, but don't even think about taking away the exorcist. Now, disappear from my eyes."

  Lu Li left silently, Ai Min, who was holding the heavy book, stared at the city lord indifferently, turned and followed behind Lu Li.

   The exorcist let out a long sigh of relief and explained with a helpless smile: "Your Excellency Lu Li is not that kind of person, maybe not what you think... Your Excellency City Lord, we will leave first."

   When they left, the low and cold hum of the city lord sounded slowly.

   "A little boy spoiled by his parents...he will know the sinister real world."

  …

   "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Lu Li... Portia is used to being strong, and a weak city lord can't survive in this land."

   On the way back to the Exorcist Association, the exorcist chasing after Lu Li explained, "Actually, Your Excellency the City Lord is a good person, but toughness has become his mask."

   "Is it dangerous at night in the wild?" Lu left the exit.

   "What?" The exorcist was stunned, and after a while he realized what Lu Li was talking about. "What do you mean?"

   "Literally." Lu Li said, after thinking about it, he added: "Tell me, just like you say to ordinary people."

   "Uh...a weird fog?"

"Yes."

"Of course... the night is so dangerous that even the best exorcist can't linger in the fog alone for long. They're everywhere... unless fires are lit, many and many, so that they can't near."

   "But when we rescued people in Luosha Town, it was in the fog at night, but nothing happened." Amin's voice came from the side.

"I do not know then……"

  The exorcist looked at Lu Li, those black eyes that were as quiet as a pool of water seemed to be thinking about something.
