Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 12 Twelve. Crisis Resolved

  Lu Li doesn't know much about ghosts.

One of the only points    is what Haders said: Ghosts rely on human fears and other negative emotions to become stronger—at least the ghost that haunts Lu Li.

   This is why the ghost scared Lu Li in various ways yesterday.

   Those methods can't scare Lu Li, and the ghost didn't get the slightest negative emotion from Lu Li, so it is likely to appear tonight, try to scare Lu Li again.

   And this is the time for Lu Li to make his move.

   This ghost is not strong, and it may not even hurt Lu Li directly, but if it wants to escape, Lu Li cannot be tracked at all, which means that Lu Li may only have one chance.

  Although Lu Li will not face its entanglement after the ghost escapes, it is definitely best to eliminate the hidden danger.

   As it approached six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened, and the whole harbour area began to light up. The light of the oil lamp lit up in the quiet detective agency, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

  Lu Li sat in the seat and dressed neatly. The candlelight on the table pulled his shadow huge, covering the entire wall behind him.

   He quietly waited for the ghost to appear.

  tick-tick-tick-

   In the silence, all sounds were amplified, and time passed minute by minute.

  Whoa—

   At a certain moment, a sudden sound of water rushing came from the kitchen.

  Lu Li waited behind the desk for a while, but the sound of water never subsided. He finally moved, got up and walked to the kitchen.

  The turbulent water squeezed out of the faucet, crashed into the sink, and was flushed into the sewer.

The water meter on the    water pipe rotates at a rate of one revolution every five seconds, and one revolution represents 1 shilling.

   A terrifying scene in every sense.

  Lu Li raised his hand and turned on the faucet, but it was useless, so he turned to close the valve of the pipe. This time it worked, the water flow was weakening until it stopped, and only a few stagnant water dripped down.

  Lu Li turned the faucet again, this time successfully tightened the faucet.

   After finishing everything, Lu Li raised his eyes, his pupils contracted slightly.

   In the mirror above the washbasin, a pale, unfamiliar face was reflected.

  Lu Li didn't move, his eyes calmly stared at the figure in the mirror, and after a few seconds, his brows slightly furrowed.

   Not because of new changes in the mirror, but because Lu Li thought of a possibility.

   He behaved too calmly, and it was very likely that the ghost who secretly frightened him would not dare to show up.

  In this case…

   "Ah, who are you, so scary, I'm scared to death."

  Lu Li said in a steady voice that was close to narration, his tone did not fluctuate, and his face did not have any superfluous expressions.

   Waited quietly for a few seconds, the figure in the mirror did not move.

  Lu Li stopped talking and gave up this useless lame behavior.

   At this moment, the face in the mirror suddenly showed a sneering sneer, his head was thrown back, and he slammed into the mirror, as if to rush out of it!

boom!

  The mirror was torn apart, and cobweb-like cracks spread throughout the mirror.

The image in the    mirror became mottled, reflecting a slender figure that was broken, and the broken mirror returned to its original shape.

  Lu Li raised his hand to touch the mirror and rubbed it. When he removed it, a little blood appeared on his fingertips.

  The rift is real, this ghost can affect things in reality?

   looked around in the kitchen, but found no trace of the ghost, Lu Li returned to the living room.

   knock knock knock —

   A knock on the door echoed in the quiet living room.

  Lu Li looked out the door, there was not a trace of light in the corridor behind the door.

  No one is far from a place with light at night.

  嘭嘭—

   The knock on the door sounded again, a little faster than the last time.

   Lu Li changed his original direction and approached the door.

  噔噔dong—

  The door kept shaking, and the dust rustled down. The huge response should be passed on to the neighbors, but no one chose to come out to check.

  Lu Li has quietly approached the door, silently recording the frequency of each knock on the door in his heart, and when the next knock is about to appear, he suddenly opens the door.

boom-

   The voice I just remembered followed Lu out of the door and stopped abruptly.

The sound of    knocking on the door reverberated throughout the corridor, and there was no one behind the door blocked by Lu Li's shadow.

   is generally similar to the plot. The protagonist who opens the door sees that there is nothing outside the door, and will close the door suspiciously, and then appear behind him the moment the protagonist turns around.

  Lu Li closed the door, looking back as if waiting for something—

   was empty behind him.

   This ghost did not play cards according to common sense.

   The flames in the windshield rose straight up. Lu Li returned to the desk and sat down. The time on the clock showed that it was 9:00 pm.

   In the next period of time, the detective agency tends to be quiet, and the unobservable ghost hides in the dark and waits for an opportunity, accumulating strength to prepare for a comeback.

   The figure in the seat was motionless, his eyes drooping slightly, and the occasional pulsing flame caused his shadow to sway slightly.

  Time passed by minute by minute.

   An abrupt scene happened. The music box placed in the corner of the desk suddenly shot out, smashed against the wall, and smashed into pieces.

  Lu Li's eyes were raised, as deep as night.

   This music box that flew out and smashed was not expensive, but he liked it very much.

   Lu Li's cold voice sounded in the room: "If you only use these tricks, get out of the way as soon as possible, these will have no effect on me."

   Maybe it couldn't bear it any longer, or maybe it was the rude remarks that angered it, and as Lu Li's words fell, an illusory outline slowly emerged in front of the table,

   A translucent figure floated in the air, his hair covered half of his face, and one of the exposed eyes stared coldly at Lu Li.

  The ghost appeared.

  Lu Li no longer hesitated, stretched his hands into his arms, lifted the holster and pulled out the flintlock gun.

The moment the    flintlock spear left the holster, the perception blocked by the incantation spread throughout the body along the clenched palm.

  The detective agency suddenly became lively.

  In the bedroom, behind the kitchen, in front of the dining table, under the sofa, on the ceiling, there are crowds everywhere, and they snoop with malicious intent.

   A cold and malicious gaze fell on Lu Li.

   The ghost's tone was gloomy: "You know, people who have seen me will eventually—"

The    thumb pressed down on the hammer, Lu Li raised his arm suddenly, the flintlock gun in his hand aimed at the ghost's head.

   "—Go, go for good luck..."

   The ghost stumbled and held up his hands.

  “…?”

  Lu Li couldn't help but stop for a moment, and didn't pull the trigger immediately.

   Common sense told him that ghosts were not supposed to be like this.

   At this time, the ghost suddenly moved. It avoided the muzzle, but instead of rushing towards Lu Li, it turned into a ball of white light and crashed into the wall, disappearing.

  Lu Li didn't put away the flintlock gun immediately, and looked around with vigilance.

  The ghost was no longer around, and as the contact time between Lu Li and the psychic gun increased, more cold malice fell on Lu Li.

  Lu Li no longer hesitated, put the flintlock gun in the holster, all the sense of staring disappeared instantly, only the residual negative emotions lingered in his heart.

  Return the holster to the pocket.

   It shouldn't have the guts to come again.
