Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 189 One hundred and four. All passed

   "I thought I'd come out first...but if it's you, you'll understand."

   Owen smiled and greeted Lu Li, looking in a good mood.

   Compared to the taciturn Daniel, this tall man with black hair and black eyes made him more invisible.

   "What did you encounter in the passage, which is also your own knot?"

   "That's right." Lu Li, who had already been appointed by default and did not need to be assessed, replied.

   "You came out first, did you find any hints?"

   "Behind the door is the last level."

   Hearing this, Owen looked down at the next wooden door, which was locked by five locks of different colors. Two of the locks had been opened - the black one and the green one.

   "Looks like everyone has to come out before we can continue the level." For some reason, Owen said a lot. "I don't know what's going on with Doma. If it's her... It should be a fight to solve the problem."

  …

   "Twenty-seven."

【Do not……】"

   "Twenty-eight"

  【No】

   "Twenty-nine."

  【…】

   "Thirty."

  …

  【You idiot, how many trees do you need to chop down to buy a boat! 】

   "Just cut down another 113,400 trees."

  !

  Old Frank threw his fist again, and this time the fist he threw was clenched by Frank. He stood up, still short, but seemed to have an extremely firm belief.

   "I know it's slow, but I've been working towards my goals instead of doing nothing, not even seeing the sea like you and your grandfather did!"

  【…】

Frank grabbed his father's palm and slowly lowered it, his eyes were firm, with an unparalleled dazzling light: "I don't mean to blame you... I just want to say that I have been working hard for these. That's why I joined the investigation. to take risks and earn more money to buy a big ship that belongs to our Frankstein family. I do this for the family's philosophy and my own dreams!"

   Old Frank's vicissitudes face became moving, his clenched fists gradually loosened, and his illusory body began to become even more bleak.

  【Child, I am waiting for that day】

  Old Frank's figure completely disappeared, leaving only the sound echoing in the passage.

  Frank stood on the spot, unable to tell whether this scene was real or an illusion brought about by the trial. But after a few seconds, his fists began to clench, and with what seemed to be his father's temperature, he walked towards the exit that opened a gap.

  …

  【This is too dangerous...Aren't you afraid of being controlled by their power? 】

  Daniel sneered, his body seemed to have an uncomfortable and gloomy aura: "It's not the power that is at fault, but the person who uses it. Only the weak are afraid of powerful powers, thinking they are manic and uncontrollable."

  【Actually, I'm not so eager to take revenge...】

   The cold and resentful female voice regained some of Rachel's voice, and she was trying to bring the bad situation to normal.

The meaning of    is to guide new people's obsessions, understand them, and test them.

   Under normal circumstances, newcomers will temporarily forget that all this comes from hallucinations because of the foreshadowing of the previous levels. So they tend to show real emotions at this level.

   But this time it seems to be a failure. The default Lu Li just skipped this level. Owen relies on cleverness to take shortcuts. Daniel lost control of his emotions because of his obsession. Doma... Her obsession seems to be to become smarter, but she's using brute force to solve puzzles.

   Only Frank passed the level normally, and by the way touched a big man with muscles in his head.

   "You seem to have gotten one thing wrong."

  Daniel sneered in his cold eyes.

   "I no longer live for revenge. Now I have discovered something more interesting than revenge..."

  …

  Lu Li and Owen looked at the open blue wooden door, and Frank who seemed to have some changes. .

   "You don't look the same as before." Owen greeted Frank. "And I didn't expect you to come out so early."

   "You're also a lot more cheerful." Frank smiled, his still sunny smile was completely different from before, as if he had officially changed from a big boy to an adult. "Mr. Lu Li is still the same."

   "Are you all here waiting for your companions?"

   "Don't come... It's just that all five people need to come out in the next level." Owen turned his head.

   "Owen, you're still always dishonest..."

   "Don't seem to know me well."

  …

"fifty seven."

  【…】

   "Fifty-eight."

  【…】

"fifty-nine."

  【…】

"six--"

  【Wait a minute! 】

   The unbearable puzzler finally interrupts Doma.

   "You finally decided to fight!" Doma was excited, with kindness in her eyes.

  【No, just give you a suggestion within the rules. You can continue counting from eighty—]

"eighty-one."

   [including eighty]

   "What does it mean to include eighty!"

  【That is, you can count eighty instead of starting from eighty one】

"eighty."

  【The answer is correct, you successfully passed the puzzle, congratulations】

   "So we can fight now?"

  【…】

   In Doma's disappointed eyes, the figure of the puzzler faded and disappeared.

  …

  【What's more interesting than revenge...thing? 】

   "Yes, at this time I am no longer a machine full of vengeance, I have found my true pursuit."

  【That power? 】

   "Yes, that dangerous power is so intoxicating."

  【But...I appeared because of the obsession in your heart】

   The sneering Daniel suddenly froze: "What do you mean?"

  【It is only the obsession in your heart that appears in front of you. But now that you see me instead of that power, it means you are saying—]

"enough!"

  Daniel suddenly let out a loud drink, his right palm grabbed his bandaged left arm, his eyes were gloomy, and there was a hint of panic that was hardly noticeable.

   "Since you don't believe me, I can only release the dark and evil side that was sealed by me... Then the whole city will be shrouded in my dark power!"

  【Pfft...】

   "...Did you just laugh?"

【No】

"real?"

【Um! 】

  …

  Dorma walked out from behind the red wooden door in disbelief.

   The heat and tiny beads of sweat on her body have not completely dissipated.

   It looks like she has had a tough battle.

   thought Frank and Owen.

  On the door leading to the final level, only the pink lock remains unreleased. Frank's concern continued for a few minutes before the pink wooden door slowly opened.

"are you OK?"

   Frank approached Daniel with concern.

  “…”

  Daniel looked at Frank with an indifferent expression, passed him by without saying a word, and walked to the wooden door.

  The pink door lock fell, and the last obstacle blocking their way to the last level has disappeared.

   Before everyone was ready to go, the narrator's voice sounded in the room.
