Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 205 One hundred and twenty. Assessment events

  Monday, July 13.

  Andres Brothers Repair Station.

   Nothing has changed here from two days ago.

  Under the curtain of rain, Rodster Harbour loomed on the beach in the distance.

   A figure in a black coat, holding an umbrella, walked under the eaves of the maintenance station, closed the umbrella, shook off the water stains on the umbrella, and walked into the house.

   A few minutes later, the maintenance station is underground, the investigator base rest area.

   Alliance personnel put two glasses of milk in front of Lu Li and Tesla, turned and left.

   After following the alliance personnel back to the counter, Tesla retracted his gaze, tapped the cane on the ground and put it aside, saying, "I am in charge of the base on duty this week."

   "My assessment event has been released?"

   "Well, I thought your event would come a few days later, so you could have more time to prepare."

"no difference."

  Lu Li doesn't need to prepare, or he has been preparing all the time.

  Tesla didn't intend to get to the point immediately, leisurely talking to Lu Li about trivial matters: "By the way, those who participated in the assessment with you last time have the results. Guess who joined us."

   "Who?"

   "Frank."

  Lu Li didn't plan to guess, and Tesla didn't plan to sell. He smiled softly and said, "Doesn't it feel incredible?"

  Lu Li nodded: "Why him?"

"He has a firm heart and a longing for adventure. He has these two spirits that an investigator needs to have. The other people are also good, but their respective shortcomings make them unsuitable to join the investigator. Reckless, clever, delusional... But We've recommended them to the league to give it a try."

  The three major organizations need elites, and the standard of the alliance will be lowered.

   "But Frank is not like you. He is just a young lumberjack. We are taking the time to teach him so that he can learn more before the assessment event."

  Lu Li didn't forget the purpose of coming here. After Tesla finished talking, he asked directly, "So what is my incident?"

  Tesla smiled and said nothing. He took off his milky white gloves, took out a neatly folded piece of parchment from the pocket of his dress, put it on the table, and slid his fingers in front of Lu Li.

   "Let's take a look first."

  Lu Li picked up the parchment, unfolded it and said, "Am I the only one who knows about the incident?"

   "The regional leader and related personnel are aware of the assessment event, and this parchment is just a tradition."

  Lu Li nodded and looked at the parchment unfolding in front of him.

  【Interviewer Investigator Promoted Investigator Incident】

  [Event Difficulty: Easy - (Special)]

   [Event Location: Reef 120 nautical miles southeast of Belfast]

  [Hurricane "Arthur" appeared here, and arrived nearby by boat in the evening to explore clues about the appearance of "Arthur". This event is a special event. After the investigator reaches the target waters, the event will be completed automatically. If the clues are obtained, they can still be accumulated as rewards. 】

   From the parchment, it seems that Lu Li doesn't need to collect clues, as long as he reaches the nearby waters and the event will be completed - but the last paragraph is very puzzling.

   "Finished?" Tesla said with a sip of milk.

  Lu Li put down the parchment: "Basically."

   "Is there anything you want to ask?"

   "This incident is not an ordinary incident." Lu Li pointed to the special words in brackets. He had come into contact with a part of the incident content in "Investigator's Introductory Trial", and he needed to explore certain clues.

  Tesla nodded and said, "Yes, so it's marked as special."

   Because it's on the sea?

  Lu Li didn't ask that, but changed the question: "Where is the special?"

"In normal events, investigators are usually assigned to investigate the local situation of the target. According to the information obtained, the investigator organization judges the degree of completion. If the information brought back by the investigator is 100%, it means that the event is completed perfectly. But 100% is not The upper limit, because we can never know a thing completely, so the completion can continue to increase upwards, like you did in The Investigator Introductory Test."

   "There are also special events on this basis, the content is not fixed. Like your event this time, its actions are closer to exploration: arrive at the target place, determine the target local situation, and come back."

   sounds simple and easy, but it just sounds.

  Night, sea. Either one will make people feel disgusted now, especially the combination of the two. In particular, the shadows brought about by the events of Hurricane Arthur and the Immortal Giant have not yet dissipated.

   "So the difficulty of this incident is not the incident itself, but its process?" Lu Li said.

With unabashed admiration in Tesla's eyes: "That's it. The off the beaten track, the weirder it is, especially in the deep ocean where few people go. It's a little better during the day, but you're going into the deep ocean after nightfall. ."

   "Why at night?"

   This is Lu Li’s second question, obviously it’s safer to act in the daytime.

  Tesla looked at Lu Li's black eyes, with a deep meaning in his tone: "The internal data sent by the exorcist shows that the hurricane was formed in the evening."

  Lu Li frowned and said following Tesla's train of thought: "But it didn't move to land until the next morning."

   "Yes, that's why we're investigating."

"How do I get to?"

   "The base will contact a fishing boat to send you nearby in the evening, but there is a reef there, they will stop outside the reef and put down the boat to let you approach."

  The difficulty of the task is easy-, which is close to the difficulty of other assessment events. Then the greatest danger it may have is during the period when Lu Li is approaching the location in a small boat alone, followed by the way the fishing boat travels back and forth.

   Having nowhere to escape is also one of the problems. There is almost nowhere to escape from danger in the vast sea.

  Since decades ago, weirdness has gradually appeared in the deep sea, and they have brought disaster. The water was no longer blue, and dead fish washed up on the beach. People's fear of the deep sea has begun to deepen, and the scope of activities of ships is getting closer and closer. Only those giant steel ships and pirates who are not afraid of death still dare to sail in the deep sea and at night.

   Not to mention the emotion that the ocean itself brings to people - the fear of the unknown.

  Tesla still couldn't see the excess emotions from Lu Li, as if the assessment incident was as easy for him as "walking back to the detective agency in a while".

   It seems that Lu Li does not need his own comfort and encouragement.

  Tesla smiled: "Your investigator's standard equipment is ready, and it will be provided to you when you are ready to go."

"When does it begin?"

   "You can leave within three days." Tesla replied.

   "Then today."

  Lu Li's decisiveness made Tesla slightly startled and asked subconsciously, "So fast?"

  Lu Li picked up the cup full of milk and answered when he brought it to his mouth.

   "There is no difference between a day earlier and a day later."
