Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 181 Ninety-six. Sanity Status

  The hall was glowing with cold light, mixed with the light of the electric lights hanging overhead.

   From the narrow and cramped passages full of pipes, the vast hall dispels the oppression caused by being underground.

   One credit for the windows on the walls.

   On the top of the hall wall, there is a row of narrow windows the width of the palm of your hand, and the outermost row of guardrails, light comes in from outside the guardrails, and the windows look like sewer openings on the side of the road.

  The passing calves briefly dangled from the outside.

   is the sewer.

   "If you looked at the seaside a few months ago, you would have noticed that a section of the Snowflake neighborhood had been under construction for a while."

  Lu Li retracted his gaze and looked at the rest of the hall: "What if it rains?"

  The concept of decoration does not exist in the investigator branch, and even the superficial effort is too lazy to do it. The gray-green rough cement on the walls is directly exposed to the air, and even one wall is not smeared with cement, showing the red bricks inside.

  This is like a real plumbing repair station.

   On the bright side, this kind of simplicity can also be understood as a minimalist style.

  There are many similar wooden doors on the left wall. The use is unclear. The right side is the rest area. There are more than a dozen tables in front of the bar full of drinks, but only three tables are seated.

   The four young people sitting apart looked at each other, while observing Lu Li and Tesla who had just come in.

   "This is Belfast." Tesla smiled and took off the top hat that blocked his view. "And there are drainage holes between the guardrail and the window, don't worry, we are professional plumbing repairers."

"They are the newcomers participating in the assessment this time. Come and sit, I'll meet with the other leaders, and you will be called in after the assessment starts." Tesla motioned Lu Li to go to the pub in the lounge area to find a place to sit, leaning on his palm Turn around and walk into one of the countless doors on the right side of the hall.

   "People I brought."

   Hanging the top hat on the hanger by the door, Tesla closed the door, walked to the empty seat at the round table, sat down and said.

  A few candles were burning in the silver candlestick, with a faint fragrance. Expensive velvet rugs fill the ornate room of this study, and the walls are draped in dark oak planks. Dark red curtains were drawn to block the window, which was a bare wall behind it.

   If you don’t consider the scene outside the door, this place is more like a study in a noble mansion.

There are three figures sitting on the other three sides of the round table, a mature woman in a dark red dress and a black mesh hat, a muscular man in a brace, and a cloak with a face hidden in the shadows. mysterious man.

  Tesla is the most normal one among them.

   "Let's start then?" The mature woman unscrewed the empty red and smeared her already bright lips.

   The brawny man put his palms on his thighs, and sat in a soft seat that was extremely small compared to his size and said in a muffled voice, "Yes."

  Tesla suddenly said: "Wait, shouldn't this kind of thing be decided by the regional leader? What do you think about the leader?"

   He looked at the silent black-robed man.

   "If you didn't run away at the checkout yesterday, this might be more credible." An unexpectedly normal voice came from the black robe, neither hoarse nor gloomy. "Cough cough... Then the assessment begins, let's start the sanity test first, Tesla, let him come in."

  Tesla nodded, got up and walked to the door.

  …

  Tesla left. Four eyes watched Lu Li walked towards the rest area, ordered a milk at the counter, and sat silently in the most remote corner.

   "It turned out to be the same as us."

   "Who brought him in?"

   "Seems to be more quiet and withdrawn than that guy."

  “…”

   A small area of ​​​​the rest area sounded the low voices of several people talking.

   "Want to say hi to him?"

   "Forget it, he looks colder than this guy."

   "I want a drink too... Well, I can't drink at this time."

  “…”

   Lu Li couldn't hear their whispers and didn't care, his eyes fell on the Alliance personnel who came with a milk cup.

   At this time, a door in the area on the right side of the hall opened.

   In the relatively calm hall, small movements are easy to attract attention. Looking at the crowd, Tesla stood by the door and said to the rest area, "Lu Li, you can come over."

Lu Li, who had just taken the milk from the alliance staff, stopped, looked at the alliance staff who reached out to take the cup back, suddenly put the milk to his mouth and drank it, returned the cup to the alliance staff, and walked towards Tesla .

  The door is closed. The empty hall reverberated with whispers.

   "I came first."

   "Maybe the one who arrives last will start the assessment first."

   "It's also possible that he knows the person in charge. His name is Lu Li, a strange name."

  “…”

  …

   "She is Rachel, he is Tristan. The head of Belfast City, that shameless guy is Dylan, one of the heads of the Ellen Peninsula area." Tesla introduced the three to Lu Li.

   Lu Li's eyes swept over the three of them, and finally returned to Rachel, who had red lips, and said calmly, "Lu Li."

   Maybe because there are not a few taciturn members of the investigators, the three of them don't care much about Lu Li's taciturnity.

   "Why are you looking at me?"

  Rachel looked back at Lu Li with interest, her eyes behind the mesh were long and narrow, with a little mole under the corner of her eye.

   "Looking at other people will look weird." Lu Li replied.

  Tesla smiled and walked around Tristan and said, "It seems that I don't need to remind you to relax."

  Dylan, the man in black robe, said at this time: "Because you have taken two tests before this, we will not ask you psychological questions this time."

   His bandaged palm took out a dark branch with branches, nearly fifty centimeters long.

   "Then please touch the branches of the tree of mind first to manifest Sanity."

  Lu Li raised his palm, stretched out to the branch on the table, and touched it with his fingertips.

The illusion of the    huge banyan tree appeared again, more intense and more empathetic.

  Because Lu Li noticed that this time he was closer to the giant tree than last time.

  The huge tree canopy covered the sky, covered the gloomy sky like an umbrella, and an indescribable consciousness spread out from the banyan tree and wrapped around Lu Li, calling his name.

   In a trance, Lu Li felt as if he had become this banyan tree, his body became stiff, and black **** like the bark appeared on the outer layer of the skin...

Snapped--

   The tingling pain in the back of his hand awakened Lu Li. He regained his senses, Tesla removed his cane, and solemnly reminded: "Don't be too immersed in the illusion, your strange perception level is very high, and it is easy to be assimilated."

   Returning to God, Lu Li retracted his palm: "What is assimilation?"

   "It's just that you are more likely to perceive them, and you are more likely to be perceived by them. It can be understood as a weakened version of the third stage of the real period of Sanity."

  The man in black robe answered Lu Li before Tesla.

  Tesla three people are watching the table, the dark branches have shown the results of Lu Li's third test.
