Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 741 Thirty-two. Wonderful dream

   After the chat, the old earl called the butler who was waiting outside the living room and said, "Go and prepare a sumptuous dinner and guest room for our guests."

   "No, I'll leave soon."

  Lu Li stopped the housekeeper who was about to leave, got up and left the soft sofa, and greeted the Count: "Thank you Jade Dream for explaining my confusion."

   "But I have a different opinion."

  Lu Li picked up the coffee cup, poured the coffee on the expensive blanket, released his palm and let the coffee cup fall on the low table and shattered. He picked out a sharp piece and stabbed it into his chest.

   "What you see is not real."

  Afternoon, shade, grass, breeze.

  The light spreads to the surroundings. The count, who is half-smiling, the butler who is dumbfounded, and the maid who is expressionless.

The   light finally filled Lu Li's field of vision and completely enveloped him.

  …

   "Lu Li... Lu Li... hurry up and wake up..."

  Anna's call rang in his ears.

  Lu Li opened his eyes.

  Anna's illusory and delicate face was close at hand, the sore neck leaning against the armrest of the sofa reminded him that he had been in this sleeping position for a long time, and the noise of pedestrians in the streets could be heard outside the window.

   The Emerald Dream that was pierced did not take him away, but led him into the fifth floor.

   "You've slept for a long time today, it's already morning. When the newspaper boy brought the newspaper in the morning, I didn't dare to open the door, and I couldn't wake you up. The newspaper stuffed under the door was dirty..."

   Anna sat up in a clear voice like a sparrow and looked around.

   This is the detective agency. The point in time...is when everything hasn't gotten so bad.

   "If you hadn't kept talking in your sleep, I would have thought something had happened to you...then...why did you call my name several times...? Wait, where are you going?"

  Anna stared blankly at Lu Li and left the sofa, swaying slightly as if walking on the deck to the desk.

   opened the drawer, Lu Li took out the dagger wrapped in the leather sheath, the tip of the knife pointed at his chest, ready to activate the lighthouse again.

   "Evil spirits retreat!"

  Anna rushed over in a panic, and the faint ghostly aura emanated to protect Lu Li's surroundings, and at the same time tightly held his arm to prevent the dagger from piercing his chest.

   "Wake up...those are dreams, not real...you'll die if you do this!"

   Lu Li paused and pressed the dagger to his chest.

  It wasn't because Ana stopped him...not exactly.

  Dangdang——

   The falling dagger smashed a gap in the old floor. With a trembling voice, Anna hugged Lu Li and comforted lightly, "Dear... it's just a dream... it's all over..."

   Lu Li in Anna's arms returned to quietness, as if falling asleep. Only Anna's invisible eyes looked calmly at the living room.

  The Emerald Dream is the same as the real time. Lu Li can use the lighthouse to relieve the Emerald Dream, but when he returns to reality, he will face Eternal Night.

  Lu Li has no way of knowing the actual situation of the convoy, but it can be imagined that it must be very bad...

   Rushing out of the Emerald Dream is not a good idea.

  Ana controlled the dagger and threw it into the bedroom, whispering softly, "Is that a terrible nightmare?"

"Um."

   "It's alright... there's nothing to be afraid of..." Anna coaxed softly, her ethereal body weightless, like a cloud.

  Lu Li seemed to regain his calm and sat back on the wooden chair.

   But if nothing is done, the Emerald Dream won't let him linger too long.

  The essence of the Emerald Dream is "curiosity" and "fun", it's not the weirdness that traps people in hallucinations forever - at least it says so in the fourth layer of dreams.

   So it has an "expectation value" for Lu Li, it creates dreams and expects Lu Li's performance. Lu Li responded to the dream, deciphered the dream, and responded to its expectations.

  If the expectation disappears, Lu Li will end up being abandoned or killed.

  The worried Anna refused to back away, her clear eyes almost glued to him.

   "What time is it now?" Lu Li asked.

  Ana, who was staring at Lu Li intently, seemed startled, and quickly said, "Well... noon."

   "I mean—" Lu Li didn't continue, reaching for the newspaper on the edge of the desk.

  Ana's eyes trembled nervously, seeing Lu Li's palm hitting the invisible wall.

   "I want to get the newspaper," he said.

   "I'll get it for you!"

   The newspaper delivered this morning fell into Lu Li's hands.

  If you want to maintain the existence of the dream, you must maintain the "expectation value" of the emerald dream.

   Lu Li opened the newspaper.

  The first page of the front page of this "Belfast Today News" is printed in the most conspicuous bold font: [There will be rain soon, and the fog that fills the skies of the Ellen Peninsula is about to end]

   When the rainy season has not yet come.

   Nothing happened, all the people you know are still alive...

  Emerald Dream didn't use the right time to make Lu Li firmly "this is the real world", and instead created a wonderful trap that was hard to resist.

  The most fake sweetness is a hundred times better than the cold truth.

   Lu Li had read this newspaper before, and he put down the newspaper after confirming the date.

  Whoa——

   Anna's cheeks revealed after the newspaper, she was very close, with concern: "You are very strange... Still thinking about nightmares?"

   "I've always been like this."

  Lu Li looked away, not looking at those clear eyes.

   "But it seems... you're avoiding your gaze."

"No."

   The more he avoided, the more Anna cared about the content of the dream: "You don't hurt me in your dream, so you feel guilty..."

  Lu Li lowered his eyes and did not answer.

   "It's just a dream, and I'm not..." Anna, who was comforting Lu Li, was suddenly embarrassed, and she slightly tilted her head and whispered, "Are you still by your side..."

   "Speaking of which, I would tell my mother when I had nightmares when I was a child, and I'm not afraid after that... What did you dream about?"

   Before Lu Li could answer, there was a knock on the wooden door of the detective agency.

  Afraid of life, Anna hid in the bedroom and opened the door.

   But the guest came to look for her - Anna's former friend Daisy.

  Anna was pleasantly surprised by her friend's visit, but after a little reason, she asked Daisy to come back another day. Lu Li had a nightmare, she felt it was her turn to take care of him.

   "No, I won't do that for the time being."

  Lu Li said he needed time to think...and to procrastinate itself.

The maximum duration of   Light Stealers is fourteen days. The first four layers of dreams that Lu Li experienced together took less than six hours.

  Unsure whether the sixth-layer dream exists, Lu Li needs to maintain the expectation value of the emerald dream. The closer to the fourteen days, the greater the possibility of avoiding Eternal Night after returning.

  Anna reluctantly agreed to Lu Li's proposal, and dragged Daisy to the bedroom to chat. But she didn't close the door, her eyes were glued to Lu Li outside.

  Daisy realized that she had come at the wrong time, and said goodbye soon after saying that she would come to visit another day.

   Shortly after she left, another client came to the detective agency.

   or...a member of the detective agency.

"boss!"

   Slipped into the detective agency, and the thin and dark Oliver grinned to please.
