Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 750 Forty-one. Expensive

  Tangguiyiren observed the comatose man, the flesh on his back drilled out a sharp sickle, over his shoulder, and cut off a piece of flesh on the man's face.

  The man's body was shaking with pain and fear, and he had already woken up.

  Like picking up a vegetable salad, Manguki Inren stuffed the meat into his mouth, chewed it silently, swallowed, and the outline slipped into his throat.

   "The meat is stinky, 20 shillings," it said, with no emotion in its voice.

"stinky?"

   The man was stunned, took out a bottle of salt in his arms, and sprinkled powder that was definitely not salt on the man's wound.

  chi——

   An ominous gray fog floated out from the wound of the screaming middle-aged man, and the pain and despair spurred him to shed tears.

   "We should go."

  Katerina said to Lu Li who was looking at the entrance.

   Lu Li didn't respond, watching the guy spit in annoyance.

   "Damn bastard, he's about to become an alien."

   The guy put away the salt shaker and shook his head at Tangguiren: "This price is impossible. If I come down and go back, it will cost 6 shillings, and I will give the boss half of the money to sell him."

   "Then 26 shillings," said Manggui.

   "Then I can sell it to someone else." Dude **** for tat.

   The sharp sickle limbs that were not retracted on their backs stretched slightly, and the Tang ghosts gave in again: "30 shillings."

   "No, he's nearly 140 pounds." The guy still refused.

   He didn't seem to worry that he would be pierced by the sharp sickle that was over a meter long.

   "This is polluted meat, and it's worthless in the old sewers." Tang Guiyiren said in a steady and unchanging voice.

   "Then I can also sell him to the town as a scavenger, they need these dying infected people to clean up the 'sanitation'"

   But the mango ghost is obviously not easy to coax: "I know the rules on your ground, the scavenger does not allow forcing."

   was exposed as a lie, and the man shrugged, without much embarrassment: "Okay. Add a little more, 40 shillings. Otherwise, I'd rather spend an extra ticket to take him back than sell it to you."

"it is good."

  The deal was about to be concluded, and a man wearing a cloak, black hair and black eyes, who was as mysterious as a nobleman and with unparalleled temperament, walked in front of them.

   followed by a helpless Katerina.

   "You... are two guests." The guy quickly remembered who they were.

The image of   Lu Li was fresh in his memory, and so did Catalina—after all, she brought the 40 shillings of goods.

   Those who were sold as goods also recognized them, but he could only close his eyes and pretend to be unconscious.

   "What will you do with him?" Lu Li asked.

   "Pull it to the slave market, and sell it as food when no one buys it before starving to death." Manggui Yiren replied.

  Lu Li frowned and looked at the man: "He was caught by Katerina, do we have the right to deal with him?"

   "He broke the tavern rules, you just caught his guests." How the guy allowed the shilling that was coming to run away.

   "How much will you get for selling him." Lu Li said. "I can buy him."

   The man who pretended to be unconscious suddenly opened his eyes.

   "5...60 shillings!"

   "Forty shillings," said the manghost.

   "Of course I make more money," said the man indifferently. "Otherwise, what's the difference between selling it to you and selling it? Or I sell it, and you trade with it?"

   "If you don't sell us, we will tell the boss that you sold 60 shillings." Katerina threatened.

   Katarina vaguely guessed what Lu Li was going to do - she couldn't stop it, she could only lower the price to prevent Lu Li from being lavish.

   "Damn, you can't do this!" the guy cursed.

   "Sold for 100 shillings!"

  The eldest sister who was hanging behind Lu Li like a koala suddenly showed her head and screamed in agreement.

   The guy looked like he had seen a ghost, and couldn't understand how the eldest sister of Ghost Town came here.

   "Okay, okay, I can sell it to you, but the transaction of the old sewer is not allowed to intervene. If you want me to sell it to you, the merchant must agree."

  Lu Li looked at Tangguyiren, and he responded expressionlessly: "If you are willing to trade with me, this deal will be given to you and make friends."

   "It agreed, forty shillings."

  Katerina emphasized the price, as if reminding Lu Li to pay more, or she was distressed for the 40 shillings.

   Then she saw Lu Li was looking at her.

"give me money."

   Katarina took a half step back: "Why do you want me to give it."

   "You took my money."

   "But I only got 20 shillings!" Katarina was still aching.

   The 230 shillings that Lu Li got from selling the weird currency cost only 20 shillings left.

   "I'll give it back to you at Midnight City."

   "Five times."

"Can."

  Katerina felt better, took out a stack of shillings still warm from her breastplate, and counted 40 shillings to give to the man.

"Lucky guy, it seems that the nobleman wants to save you." The man who heard the conversation misunderstood something, and said to the man who was no longer pretending to be dazed, before accepting the 40 shillings and the swill paid by Tangguiyiren, and returned to the burrow.

   Countless silk threads gathered from all directions, crowding around to lift the guy up and back to the ground.

   "Dagger."

  Lu Li took the dagger handed by Katerina, walked to the man and cut the twine.

   Katarina watched from behind, thinking that buying a hunter for 40 shillings wasn't a big disadvantage.

   The wound on his face turned black, and the man lowered his head, grateful for his help: "What do you want me to do... my lord."

"what's your name."

   "Frankska, my lord."

  Lu Li nodded and turned to Mangguyiren: "You wished to make a deal earlier, what deal."

   "Any transaction is fine."

   "Sell tickets back to the ground."

"Um."

   "A ticket."

   "Ghost Town Station Ticket 5 shillings."

  No need for Lu Li to say anything, Katerina had already drawn fifteen shillings and handed it to him.

  Puseus squatted beside Katerina's legs, raised his head and said, "Our destination is Midnight City Terminal, where other tickets are required."

  Lu Li nodded, but still bought the tickets from Manggui Inren.

   "Are you planning to come back?" Katerina asked in confusion.

  Lu Li shook his head, paid 5 shillings, and handed the ticket to Frankska: "You can go back."

  Frankska stared down at the meat-like ticket.

   "You must be crazy!" Katarina cried.

   "Why don't you take him to Midnight City?" Lu Li asked back.

   "But that's what we bought for 40 shillings...you just let him go?" Katarina thought that Lu Li bought him for other purposes.

"Um."

  Frankska said with the same consternation: "Sir, what should I call you?"

"Land from."

   "Lord Lu Li, do you really want to... let me go?" he asked tentatively.

   Lu Li nodded.

  Frankska was still in a daze, not realizing the fact that he was free, instead of being sold and eaten as food.

   After a long while, Frankska regained his senses and stared deeply at Lu Li, as if to remember him.

"thank you for your help……"

   With the ticket and puzzled, Frankska walked into the hole, lifted up by the attached silk thread, and ascended to the exit.

   He kept staring at Lu Li until he was too far to see.
