Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 216 One hundred and thirty one. Slipping

   Follow the slow-moving team, and after a minute, they arrive at the destination of the trip: a hall.

   The "chefs" who had dealt with Lu Li twice left the team. They walked behind the window and stood in front of the wooden barrels full of food.

  The cafeteria is open for dinner.

  The team consciously lined up in front of the window, waiting to receive food.

  The team stagnated, and only when the monster left with the wooden bowl, the team would move forward a little distance.

   Gollum Gollum —

  Vague, sticky, sharp, dull, chaotic hums resounded between the teams.

   "Guru?"

  A cold and slippery paw suddenly poked Lu Li's shirt, he lowered his head, and beside him stood a short, monstrous figure less than half his height, holding a wrench that was too heavy for him, looking up at him.

   What is it asking?

  Lu Li probably guessed it, after all, it has a wrench in his hand, and a crowbar in his hand—they have the same profession.

   But he couldn't answer, just raised the crowbar silently.

   "Grumble..."

   The dwarf figure lowered his head, muttering with a certain sense of loss.

   It may have asked Lu Li why he could grow so tall.

   The number of strange figures in front of Lu Li gradually decreased, and Lu Li, who was close to the window, could see the food that was put into the wooden bowl by the "chef": a light black sticky substance with three eyeballs floating.

   as expected.

   At least they don't eat black stuff.

  The question is, if they eat this kind of thing, where is the huge amount of food that is made in the "kitchen" without stopping?

   In other words, the food prepared by those fish and meat for the upper cabins, such as the ghosts on this layer.

  While thinking, the huge monster in front of Lu Li received its half-bowl of food, muttered dissatisfaction with the lack of food, turned and walked away.

   "Grumble..."

   The "chefs" who were drowning in cooking recognized Lu Li and made a muttering sound similar to a greeting. It took out the wooden bowl from the bowl rack, stirred the spoon a few times in the wooden bucket, and filled Lu Li with a bowl of black sticky substance that could be poured out with a little shaking.

  Plop—

  The chef who was standing in front of the second wooden barrel gave Lu Li six frog eyes, which fell into the wooden bowl, causing slow ripples.

   Lu Li pinned the crowbar to his waist, silently took the wooden bowl the size of a human head, and took it to an empty seat to sit down.

   In addition to the muttering, there was also the sound of eating.

   Lu Li didn't move the food on the table in front of him, of course he couldn't eat these, but now he was trying to find a way to empty the bowl.

  No one knows if there will be punishment for not eating.

  Lu Li observed the surroundings while he was thinking. Dozens of strange figures were scattered around the cafeteria. Lu Li didn't find the bull-horned figure among them.

   This time, there are only the ghosts of them in the lower cabins.

   continued to move his gaze and landed on the burly figure on the table next to him. Its head is fusiform, like the head of a shark. It is pinching the eyeballs in the wooden bowl with one hand. It doesn't care that the silk thread pulled from the wooden bowl drips onto its body, and puts it into its big open mouth. chew.

  Fist-sized eyes are as small as snacks for it.

   looked at it for a while, Lu Li looked away before he noticed it and fell further away.

  The walls and ceiling of the cafeteria also grow those vertical pupil eyeballs, and they are the same size as the eyeballs in the wooden bowl.

   So they can be used not only for surveillance, but also for eating?

  Thinking, a large shadow poured down.

   A behemoth walked to Lu Li's table, its head was almost touching the ceiling, and sat on a chair that was quite compact compared to it.

   "Guru." In the muffled sound like thunder, a black shadow rolled from the claws of the giant that could hold Lu Li onto the table.

   It threw an alarm clock to Lu Li.

  The alarm clock is tied with an iron chain on both sides and tied into a ring as thick as a wooden barrel. This is a very trendy idea, at least in Belfast Lu Li has not seen anyone wearing a pocket watch as a wrist watch.

  It wears this thing as a wrist watch

   It thinks Lu Li can fix this thing with a crowbar.

   Lu Li shook his head, he guessed the opposite giant shadow's intention, but he couldn't do it.

   After all, he is not a real maintenance worker, and even if he is, it is impossible to repair an alarm clock.

  Call—

  Two dense air currents emerged from the giant shadow's nostrils, blowing Lu Li's black hair down, the corners of his clothes trembled, the sturdy and sharp claws lifted and grabbed Lu Li—

  Lu Li reached out and picked up the alarm clock.

   He first turned the clockwork behind the alarm clock, but the hands did not move. He put the alarm clock close to his ear and listened. The subtle sound of gears inside indicated that the clockwork was in operation, not that there was a problem here.

   Giant Shadow's claws retracted behind the table.

   The gears are working, so the problem is probably somewhere else. Lu Li turned the alarm clock to the front.

  The glass cover is crisscrossed with tiny scratches, which make the pointer somewhat difficult to see.

  This glass cover is a rare sight for Lu Li to see anything other than black here.

  Lu Li raised the crowbar and signaled to Juying that he was going to start repairs—of course, he didn't need a crowbar for repairs, he just wanted to avoid Juying's aggressive behavior.

   Even if the psychic gun can still be used, it is difficult to cause effective damage to this giant shadow four or five meters high.

  Lu Li first took off the outer ring of the alarm clock, lost its restraint, the glass cover fell off automatically, was caught by Lu Li, and put it aside.

   raised his eyes and swept to the opposite giant shadow, which did not raise its paws the size of a dining table again.

The pointer inside    was clearly exposed in front of him, and Lu Li suddenly noticed that the pointer was shaking slightly, but he couldn't lift it up, and it always vibrated at the position pointing to 37 minutes.

   It seems like there is no power, or the pointer is loose.

  The former may be ruled out, because the clockwork is already wound up.

  Lu Li stretched out his finger, touched the minute hand, and swiped it upwards, but after his finger left, the minute hand slid down immediately.

   Moving his gaze to the center of the alarm clock, Lu Li saw some black substances seeping out from the edge of the cylinder.

  Things became clear, the black matter that appeared on the cylinder made the pointer on the round rod overly lubricated and difficult to move.

  Lu Li took off the hour hand, minute hand, second hand and red time hand, wiped off the black substance on the cylinder with his fingers, and put them back on.

  tick-tick-tick-

   The resumed alarm clock makes a subtle chime.

   Covered the glass cover, put on the ring, and Lu Li returned the alarm clock with the iron chain to the giant shadow.

   "Grumble..."

The muffled muttering sound like a muffled thunder was filled with satisfaction, and the giant shadow used two claws to pinch the alarm clock, which was not as big as its fingernails, with one claws behind the alarm clock, and turned the minute hand to adjust the time. .

  Lulli saw that the time was adjusted to 11:45.

   This seems to represent the time at this time.

  Lu Li pondered, if he considered this encounter to be part of the secret room puzzle, what he got...is the exact time.

Does    time represent something?

   For example, if it lasts until the day, there may be new changes.
