Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 710 1. Underground rock formations

   The sound of rushing water faintly rang in my ears.

   Like near a waterfall, or by a river bank.

   The noise washed into his mind, like a distorted shadow, disgusting.

   Lu Li, who slowly woke up, turned over, with the pain like a tear in his chest, he turned over and lay on the cold hard rock, retching non-stop.

   There was no vomit, Lu Li thought that maybe a long time had passed.

   Vomiting seems to have emptied the clutter in his mind, and his consciousness slowly became clear.

  Lu Li sat up and looked around. He seemed to be on a rock outcropping in the middle of the river, surrounded by the rushing river and surrounded by darkness.

  The oil lamp that emits a faint light is put aside, and the coat is spread under the body to isolate the rock, preventing Lu Li's body from becoming as cold as the rock.

  The chest wound was also treated. The shirt was torn into strips of bandages, wrapped around the wound on the chest, and the seeping blood stained the fabric.

  Whoa——

   An unusually clear sound of water suddenly sounded, and a black shadow emerged from the water and climbed up the rock.

   It was a silhouette whose whole body was enveloped in darkness, and it seemed like there was a shimmer of light under the oil lamp.

   Until a pair of white palms stretched out from under the black robe, wringing out the darkness little by little, forming layers of wrinkled black robes.

   "You don't seem to be surprised by my appearance?" A young woman's voice came from the black robe, which was almost indistinguishable from ordinary people, but Lu Li recognized her.

   An old friend: Friday.

  Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly: "I won't light a fuel lamp when I'm in a coma, and I won't treat the wound."

   "So you seem disappointed?"

   Dragging the black robe dripping from the river, he walked barefoot to the oil lamp on Friday, put down the same dripping oil lamp tray and sat down: "I'm disappointed that I'm still alive, but I'm still disappointed to see me..."

  Lu Li's black eyes condensed, staring at the shadow under the black robe: "You all know?"

  Friday, as if wiping his hair, he tilted his head to dry the cloth on one side, but did not answer.

   "And then what happened."

  Friday turned to the other side and continued to dry the fabric on the left side.

   Lu Li didn't ask her any more, quietly recalling everything that happened before.

   He was only a few miles away from the oasis, but Anna attacked, was stabbed in the chest with a spear, and fell into the abyss...

  pop——pop——pop——

   A crisp applause suddenly came from the side.

   "In order to protect the heroine, the heroine is willing to become an evil spirit without a rational self and help the hero to break free from the bondage. The hero also broke free of the shackles in the end, and would rather be killed by the heroine than kill the heroine——"

   Friday, clad in a wrinkled black robe, applauded.

   "An impressive book of words."

  Lu Li looked calmly and had some guesses.

   "Is the figure in the hut by the sea you?"

   He thought of the words he saw on the way home after preventing Richard from taking the body of the Old Ones, and the outline of the black robe who walked into the hut and put down the "lighthouse" when he fell asleep in the seaside hut.

   "I don't understand what you're saying." Friday spread his palms. "I'm just talking about the novel."

Snapped--

  A wet book was photographed beside the oil lamp, and the introduction was written on the brown cover of the book.

  【In order to protect the heroine, the heroine is willing to become an evil spirit without a rational self and help the heroine to break free. The male protagonist also broke free of the shackles at the end, and would rather be killed by the female protagonist than kill the female protagonist——]

   Some strange coincidence?

  Lu Li's eyes fell on the oil lamp that Friday brought back, and he reached out and picked it up.

   Familiar feeling arises spontaneously.

   Realizing something, Lu Li flipped the oil lamp over, with two lines of inscriptions engraved on the base.

  【The brilliance of humanity gathers in the wick】

  【It should be where it is】

   "Lighthouse." Lu Li looked at Friday.

   "I just fished it out from the water, looks like it's yours? Good luck." Friday whistled softly.

  Lu Li no longer asked, looking around the dark night sky: "Are we in the old river?"

"Do not."

  Friday shook his head, stood up with a lit oil lamp, and held it above his head to reveal a damp rock wall reflecting the light of the water.

   She walked around the edge of the rock, which surrounded them from all sides.

   "We are underground."

   Lu Li frowned due to the sudden tingling pain in his head. The memory before the coma was activated on Friday, like a tide: he fell into the abyss, and he fell into the water as hard as a bluestone pavement, and fell into a faint.

   clutching the wound and crawling up, Lu Li took the oil lamp from Friday and looked around.

   Like Friday said, they were in tiny hollows formed by layers of rock in the ground. Underground rivers washed over the edges.

   "Why are you here." Lu Li asked Friday when he sat down again.

"I should be asking you that." Friday picked up the book and threw it in the corner, raised his head and asked: "I came earlier than you. I saw you being washed by the water and dragged you up. If I move a little slower, you It was swept further down by the water, no thanks."

"thanks."

   Lu Li squatted beside the turbulent dark river and took a sip of the clear and cold water. The good news is that these groundwaters are drinkable fresh water.

  The bad news is they're stuck here.

   "How far is this from the ground."

   "Who knows, maybe we're not far from the center of the earth." Friday replied, the desperation trapped in the ground could not be heard in her tone.

  Luli stopped to explore and returned to the middle of the rock. There is nothing here but rocks and water.

   "How did you get here." He asked the cryptic Friday.

   Friday calmly leaned against the rock wall and told about his experience: "I followed the fleet of the conquest of the time of silence. After they failed, I jumped into the river and was carried by the river into the abyss that is everywhere in the wilderness. How about you?"

   "Same as you." Lu Li answered briefly.

He lowered his head to check the wound, and on Friday he echoed: "Your injury is very serious, and you could barely feel your body temperature when I rescued you. I simply bandaged it and thought I was going to live here with the corpse, but I didn't expect you to wake up. ."

   "Thank you." Lu Li thanked again.

  Although Friday's identity is mysterious, his whereabouts are treacherous, and he looks more weird than human - but Lu Li has never been prejudiced because of his identity.

   Especially on Friday, he rescued Lu Li for the second time.

   "I need to rest for a while." Lu Li sat down on the blanket made of his coat, and there was a cold sweat that was as cold as the river water on his forehead.

   Perhaps due to excessive blood loss or hypothermia, he has difficulty maintaining his thoughts and feels tired and sleepy.

   "Now? Here?" Friday looked around at the darkness. "You'll freeze to death in your sleep."

   Everything in the icy rock formations is plundering body heat.

   "Waking up won't make the situation better." Lu Li just replied, holding the "lighthouse" that was lost and found.

   The "Lighthouse" glows with a warm, sun-like glow, illuminating the rock formations and dispelling the chill. Even Fridays feel cosy and comfortable.

   But Lu Li didn't burn the brilliance for a long time. After more than ten seconds, Lu Li let go of his hand, curled up in the afterglow of the brilliance, and fell asleep.

   Quietly as if waiting for the long sleep to come.
