Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 1408 Fifty. Detention

   "The guardian spirit has given us clean food and water..."

   "The Guardian Spirit grants us warmth and light..."

   "The guardian spirit keeps us safe..."

   "The guardian spirit keeps us safe..."

  In the nameless church in the nameless village, pious and serious chanting sounds mixed with sloppy and perfunctory.

  The villagers gathered in front of a vague human-shaped rock. The crawling old people, women and children were pious and serious, while the men and young people were lazy and perfunctory.

   The midday prayer was hurriedly over, and the men, ignoring the villagers who began the second prayer, gathered at the church entrance as the storm abated.

  The lingering sound of prayers in the church made a figure unbearably grab a straw poncho.

   "I can't wait!"

  The man rushed into the rain.

   "Rupee!"

   Exclamations sounded from the crowd, and a young man rushed out after him.

  The remaining people looked at each other, some stayed behind, and some followed through the rain.

  The noise at the door of the church did not affect the rest of the people. They were sheltered in the church, praying in low voices, as if it had been like this since ancient times...

  …

  Clah—

  The rainwater poured from the rain poncho that was taken off flows into the ditch along the brick joints.

  The dark houses are lit with oil lamps.

   "I'm almost fed up..."

  Lubi, who put down the oil lamp, whispered to the figure who followed: "Our life is getting worse and worse, and the guardian spirit has never let us go out. It is said that another villager who wanted to escape was arrested yesterday..."

   "But the guardian spirit has no reason to deceive us..." Thor hesitated.

   "Who knows, maybe it has changed and no longer wants to protect us."

  At this time, the wind and rain pouring into the door brought a tidal crash.

"what sound?"

   "It seems to be movement by the river." Ruby suddenly had an idea, "Sol, don't you think this is a good opportunity to verify the truth..."

   "Do you want to go out?" Thor suppressed his exclamation: "The guardian spirit will find us..."

   "What can it do!" The crazy idea of ​​going out quickly swelled, crowding out Ruby's little reason, "We just said that we heard strange noises so we went to check, even if we were found, we would only be locked up for a few days..."

"Ok…"

  Ruby and Saul put on ponchos, took hemp rope and a pitchfork, and took advantage of the rain to quietly leave the village, approaching the river where the sound came from.

  Then, they saw a monstrosity stranded on the shore, with a shadow wriggling beside it.

  Saul's eyes widened, and he reached for Ruby to tell him that there really were monsters, but found nothing.

  Because Ruby didn't know when he went around to the side of the shadow, he raised the pitchfork and stabbed hard. After a dull sound that seemed to be an illusion, Ruby's ecstatic shout came from the front:

   "I got it! I got it!"

   Ruby bravely and Saul **** the captured monster with hemp rope and dragged it back to the village.

  The noise they made earlier caused the villagers near the river to watch in horror and amazement as the Rubisol brothers returned to the village with a pale figure.

   "Expose it's deceit...I'm going to debunk it's deceit..."

  Whispering along the way, Ruby asked Sol to summon the villagers who had left the church early. He stood in the rain and kicked over the bound monsters to the gathered village warriors.

   "This is the 'monster' we caught outside the village." Ruby pulled the hemp rope, and the shaking pale silhouette made them retreat in fear, "They're not scary...they're not scary!"

   Ruby picked up a rock and threw it at the motionless silhouette.

   "See! We've been tricked, those freaks are like beasts! Worse than a sheep! They're not scary at all!"

   Gradually, some villagers picked up rocks and threw them at the bound monsters, and the dead monsters made them more and more crazy.

   "Kill it! Kill it!"

   "Kill it!"

   "Overthrow it!"

  The angry spearhead gradually pointed at the guardian spirit, and Ruby suddenly stopped the angry villagers: "Can't kill it yet!"

   "Those stupid villagers still wishful thinking that the guardian spirit is protecting them. We need to let more people know that they are living a lie..."

   Ruby walked towards the monster, stepped on the chest of the pale figure and pulled out the pitchfork.

  The monster let out a muffled sound of pain.

   "Keep it in the dark room...where those people used to keep us!"

  The fear-washed villagers dragged the monster to the black room, released the imprisoned villagers, told them the truth, and then threw the monster into the black room.

  In a dark corner covered with damp grass, the monster lay quietly until it gathered a little strength, slowly moved and turned over, revealing a cold and pale face.

  Lu Li recalled what he heard and saw on the road being towed, and realized that he had dramatically come to the "last habitat of vitality" that he was looking for in the Cultivated Land Garden.

   It's just that he came to this village not as a savior, but a monster.

   Equally bad are bleeding wounds. The villagers seem to ignore him for a short time, and don't treat the wound anymore...

   rustle—

  The haystack next to it suddenly arched. Lu Li reluctantly tilted his head, his peripheral vision fell on the moving shadow in the corner.

   There is another villager in this house.

   But as he approached, Lu Li smelled a rotten stench.

  The stench even made the weak and seriously injured Lu Li retch, making a rough retching sound, and suddenly spit out a section of inactive tentacles, and then, Lu Li felt that he could speak.

   "Why are you...still here?"

  He has been isolated by the villagers himself.

   "I am a patient." A green voice sounded.

   His eyes gradually adapted to the darkness. With the faint light of the oil lamp on the wall, Lu Li saw that it was a thin body with festering all over. The dry grass stuck to the skin, and it was unclear whether it was growing together with the flesh or not.

  He looked weirder than Lu Li.

  Lu Li remembered that the medicines on his body included anti-inflammatory drugs: "Get closer."

  With no emotion of fear or panic, the boy got down on his stomach, crawled towards Lu Li and said, "They say monsters will confuse us, and if we hear it, our souls will be absorbed."

"Are you afraid."

"I'm not afraid."

"why."

"I'm dying."

   "Maybe not." Lu Li said to the boy who moved over with a strong smell, "Can you help me?"

   "I'm not going to get you out."

   "Just help me apply some medicine to the wound, bite in the pocket, ashes are also fine."

  The boy obediently rummaged through Lu Li's pocket, and then applied the medicine according to the instructions. During the process, he inevitably touched the wound. Lu Li's frown was covered by the rain.

  The **** hole in his stomach finally stopped bleeding, but Lu Li didn't have the strength to resist anymore.

   "Thank you." Lu Li said, and then asked the boy to find two anti-inflammatory medicines, he took one and gave the boy one.

   "What is this? It's so bitter..."

   "Don't spit."

  You can imagine the boy swallowing the pill with a wrinkled face, and after hearing the sound of swallowing in the darkness, Lu Li said, "Heal the wound on your skin."

  The boy was quiet for a while, remembering the rustling sound, then crawled over and reached out to touch Lu Li's lips: "Here you are."

  Lu Li opened his mouth, letting this clod of soil, which seemed to be dirty mud, be stuffed into his mouth.

  The sweetness of sucrose melts away.
