Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 759 Fifty. Civilization in Weird Times

"Is it really possible?!"

  Puseus raised his head in surprise and peeked at Katarina: "Will Miss Katarina agree...?"

   "It has nothing to do with me." Katerina said indifferently.

   She just wanted to arrive at Midnight City, get the reward for "selling" Lu Li, and start a new life.

  Puseus raised his tail only a little, and asked in despair, "But how do I get into Midnight City..."

  Midnight City doesn't allow weird people to enter the city, at least on the surface.

  Lu Li's eyes fell on the mouse Inhuman not far away.

   They asked about the way to smuggle to Midnight City. This group of talent is the hole-punch mouse Inhumans patted their chests and said that they could take people to Midnight City safely and quickly, but the high price discouraged them - all the money in Katarina was not enough for Purseus to smuggle to Midnight City. .

   Katarina will not give out all the money.

  Prussia can only stay in the old sewers. Wait for Lu Li to get enough shillings or status, and come to the old sewers to take him away.

  Lu Li asked Katerina for some money, rented a nearby tavern, and asked Pusius to stay here and wait for them.

  The eldest sister continued to follow, it proudly claimed that the people of Midnight City Church could not find it.

   "Don't die, little guy."

  Katerina said goodbye to Physius and set foot on the old sewers leading to the ground with Lu Li.

   There are many comrades in the old sewers. Either in hunter's leather armor, or in the sackcloth clothing of commoners.

   Katarina is increasingly looking forward to seeing Midnight City, and her money.

   "Remember to give me the money you lent it."

When    could smell the breeze blowing in from the dark field, Katarina said to Lu Li.

  The stone wall shrouded in depression disappeared from above. The night sky obscured by dark clouds was exposed above the earth, and the breeze was blowing with the breath of a dark wilderness.

   A magnificent city without walls stands in front.

  Row upon row of houses extend, low houses form the periphery of Midnight City, and the closer to the center, the taller and brighter the buildings.

  Mysterious dark towers are scattered in the city, and the searchlight-like beams of lighthouses slant into the dark clouds, illuminating the night sky.

   There is no night here.

   In the most central part of the city, there stands a 100-meter-high bronze statue of Lady Midnight in a black robe.

   "She's more beautiful than the picture..."

  Katerina looked at Midnight City in a trance and muttered to herself.

  In a weird era when humans can only survive, such a magnificent and undisguised city stands on the dark field, which is shocking enough to make people speechless.

   And then even more grateful to the Midnight Lady who protected them with faith.

  Humans build new civilizations in the strange and ravaged land.

   As beautiful as a rose.

   is also fragile like a rose.

  Lu Li will never forget the ending of the kingdom of Ellen.

   He turned his head at this time, looking in the direction they came from.

   looked over the old sewers and fell to the distant eastern sky. A faint glow of firefly-like light flickered in the air.

  A giant two-winged creature named Flying Jaeger roams the sky.

   Looking back, Lu Li and Katarina, who was about to become a believer, walked towards Midnight City.

   "What are those towers?" Lu Li asked.

   They look out of place with the surrounding buildings, adding a lot of mystery to the city.

   "I don't know... maybe the church?"

   is getting closer and closer to Midnight City, and more and more people are accompanying.

   Pilgrims gathered and sang songs in chorus with the Midnight City nuns.

  The eldest sister's head in the hood was hiding because of them.

   "Midnight Lady came to the earth."

   "Her pity spilled out and turned into a strange place that you dare not set foot on."

   "She doesn't need people's praise."

   "I just want the seeds to take root and sprout."

   "Blown by the wind, rained down, written, she is everywhere—"

The    singing reminded Lu Li of the Midnight City Rules that Physius told them: Don't speak ill of Midnight Lady in any form.

  The believers of Midnight City Church are different from the believers in the small towns they pass by.

  Those believers are more indifferent and far away from people, because they need to wear a veil called mystery to maintain their majesty and mystery.

  Midnight City does not.

   Stepping on the streets of Midnight City where people come and go, Katerina suddenly became hesitant.

   She doesn't know how to find a "buyer".

   City Lord? church? Or aristocratic?

   Katarina is a hunter.

   And the hunter has a way for the hunter to deal with the problem.

  Katerina stopped a passing creeper carriage, and the groom pulled out his dagger and asked loudly to the existence in the carriage: "I'm from Tangge Town, I want to know how to find the city lord or church noble!"

   was slightly silent, and an old reply came from the carriage: "Tangge Town? Is that a town whose rules do not allow you to hurt yourself?"

"Yes."

After waiting for a while, the old voice continued to sound: "The first question, Midnight City is a parliamentary system, only the City Hall does not have the City Lord's Mansion. The second question, what church are you looking for? If it is the Midnight Lady Church, it is easy to find. The last one Question, you can go to the manor to visit those nobles."

  's slow and methodical answer makes one can't help but imagine an aging scholar.

   "Are you a nobleman or from the city hall?" Katerina asked.

   "City Hall? Maybe." The old man answered noncommittally.

  A dry arm sticks out from the gap in the open car door, holding a parchment business card.

  The driver took the business card and handed it to Katerina, who then handed it to Lu Li: "What's written on it?"

  【Crains University】

  【Professor of Archaeology】

  【Nunno Alexandrovich】

   "Business card, there is a university professor on the carriage."

"University professor……"

   Katarina seems to have heard this word somewhere.

   "So are you rich?"

   "It can be counted."

   "Very good." Katerina clenched her fists and said to the old professor in the carriage in a low voice, "I know the clues about purebred humans."

  The voice of the old professor came out slowly: "Pure human? You should go to those powerful people, not a scholar."

   Katarina frowned: "You're not interested in purebred humans?"

   "This is very complicated..." A low sigh came from the carriage: "Forget it, please come up, let's go back to the academy."

   Katarina didn't respond, but focused her eyes on Lu Li.

   "If his identity is real, he is more credible than many nobles." Lu Li answered her hesitation.

   And being a scholar can help Lu Li understand something.

   Sensing Lu Li's tendency, Katerina agreed to get in the carriage and go back with him.

   They did not enter the carriage, but sat on the edge with the groom.

  The groom took up the reins, the horses hooves stepped on the stone bricks, and resumed their advance.

  Lu Li looked up at the towers scattered all over Midnight City, and asked, "What are those black towers?"

   The old professor's answer quickly sounded in the carriage.

   "We call it the Alchemy Tower."
