Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 179 Ninety-four. Anna's third cooking time and Lu Li's abnormal emotions

  The next few editions are news that happened yesterday in the Principality of the Ellen Peninsula. Because of Anna's possible improvement in cooking, Lu Li paid attention to news about food prices.

  The price of vegetables remains high, as is beef and mutton, and potatoes have also risen slightly because they are too consumed as a substitute for vegetables.

  Wheat flour also had a rising trend with the help of some capital businessmen, but it was blocked in time by the parliament and some nobles of the Principality of the Ellen Peninsula, and it was barely stable.

   I heard that in some inland countries far from the center, the upper-level control is not strong, and wheat flour has been raised to staggering prices. There are no vegetables, and no meat can be eaten. Today, even bread is so expensive that it takes more than ten hours of hard work to barely get enough food. There are already signs of turmoil.

  Because Belfast is a commercial city and has a seaport, even if the fishing industry declines, it is stronger than inland cities, and everything is still stable for the time being.

  Lu Li only hopes that this stability can last as long as possible, until he understands the truth of this world, until he solves the two troubles entangled in him.

  Twenty minutes later, when Lu Li was about to read three newspapers, Anna floated out of the kitchen with boiling broth.

   "Let's try it this time, um... Guaranteed to be better than before."

  Anna felt a little guilty, and her eyes drifted to the side.

  Lu Li didn't say anything, put down the newspaper, got up and sat at the dining table, waiting for Anna to fill the wooden bowl as if to please, picked up the spoon and took a sip of the broth.

   "How's it going?" Stars twinkled faintly in Anna's expectant eyes.

   After a few seconds of silence, Lu Li scooped up the second spoon and spoke silently.

   "Let's continue cooking and eating tomorrow."

The calm words seemed to be a great encouragement to Anna. She covered her mouth and insisted not to let herself laugh out loud. Her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she couldn't hold back her laughter and made a few puffs. She was shy when Lu Li looked up. Hide in the kitchen.

  Although the taste is still not good, it is at least salty broth.

  Lu thought centrifugally.

   I can't talk about enjoyment, but Lu Li ate a full meal after a long time. Last time it was Mrs. Filming's bean stew. Talking about bean stew, Oliver, who introduced this food to himself, has been gone for half a month, and so far there is no news. However, her sister Qiao Qiao has never contacted her, maybe it's all right.

  Jojo, a girl with adventurer traits, actually went to a music academy, and was a student of the same academy as Anna's friend Daisy. Maybe she could be a troubadour in the future, if the world hadn't continued to deteriorate by then. All kinds of data from my own statistics now point to the fact that the world is becoming difficult to survive... not right.

   Ten minutes after lunch, Lu Li's black eyes narrowed while he was sitting on the sofa thinking.

  My own thoughts became a little strange.

   Because of Sanity? No, Sanity doesn't make my thinking so weird...

   Could it be Anna? But he had obviously taken away all the things in the kitchen that Anna might use as ingredients,

  Lu Li is like a tired traveler who has not slept for several nights. His chaotic thoughts are difficult to concentrate, and his mind is endless with bizarre and dreamlike thoughts. He barely maintained his ability to think and summoned Anna.

   "What did you put in the food?"

   "Hmm... it's the same as usual."

   "Be specific."

   "Water, diced meat, potatoes, salt, and a little thought..."

   Is there something wrong with the water?

   Lu Li's eyes froze for a while, and then softened uncontrollably.

  He struggled to find something abrupt from the above five ingredients: "What does a little thought mean?"

  Lu Li's usual calm eyes became lazy at this time, which made his temperament change, the mystery faded from his body, and he became a little...

  Anna doesn't know how to describe it, approachable? Angry? In short, Lu Li now looks more like a normal person.

   stared at Lu Li for a long time, until he asked Anna again, and then looked away with a guilty conscience: "It's...my power..."

   Lu Li was sure it wasn't that she heard it wrong, she did say so.

   "How did you do it?"

   asked Lu Li.

  Anna replied slowly: "Just throw my power... into it..."

   New cooks are always whimsical, trying to mix different ingredients to make more delicious food.

   But no matter how you think about it, this is not a reason to throw power into food.

"why?"

  Anna finally realized that Lu Li's strange state at this time seemed to be related to her, and cringed, "I... I just thought it was troublesome to stir the broth with a spoon, so I was lazy to stir the broth with my abilities..."

  “…”

  Lu Li didn't say anything. Anna just made an unintentional mistake, not as she imagined. She took out a lump of ability and threw it into the broth, and stirred the broth with a weird smile, so that the ability could be turned into the broth...

  Lu Li's mind uncontrollably remembered things that he would never think about at all.

   Lu Li never drank alcohol, but at this time he seemed to be in a state of being drunk.

   "Is it okay...?" Anna was a little worried.

   "It should only be temporary." Lu Li leaned his head back and leaned against the back of the sofa, feeling that the confusion was subsiding.

   It's almost 11 o'clock, and it seems that Tesla will not contact itself today.

   This is fine, otherwise Tesla is likely to encounter a different kind of Lu Li: often absent-minded, inexplicable emotions, and increased speech.

   "Then...then you have a good rest..."

   The culprit, Anna, was not at ease. She took a book from the bedroom and sat beside Lu Li, looking up at him from time to time.

   "Where are you... where are you... don't hide... come and join us... where are you..."

   Hearing the murmur in his ears, Lu Li closed his eyes.

   It was three hours after Lu Li woke up, he opened his eyes again and saw clear eyes.

   "Okay?" Anna fluttered back to distance herself.

  Lu Li lowered his eyes and thought about a few things, without the obscure and divergent before, nodded: "Okay."

  Anna tugged at the corner of her skirt with her fingers, lowered her head and said discouraged: "I have no talent, in the future you will still..."

   "Once you're familiar with it, you won't go wrong." Lu Li interrupted her.

  Ana raised her head suddenly and looked at Lu Li in disbelief.

   Such words of encouragement actually came out of Lu Li's mouth...? Is he doing it for himself...

   Touched, Anna's eye circles gradually turned red, and she was embarrassed to say those shameful words, and finally rushed back to the bedroom covering her increasingly red cheeks.

   If you want to build a shelter to avoid disasters in the future, there will always be someone to cook.

  Lu thought inwardly, looked away, and landed on the door of the detective agency.

   On the door of the room, several lips that kept opening and closing were wriggling on the wooden board.

  …

   The next morning.

  The phone rang at the deserted moment when the sky just dawned.

  Tesla's voice came from the microphone, telling Lu Li that the third test could be started.
