Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 235 One hundred and fifty. The price of growth

  The flames licked the stone walls, reflecting the warmth and brightness of the windbreak.

   There is still some time until midnight, and the long night is still long.

  The sea breeze brought the sound of waves not far away and re-occupied the space.

   After a brief silence, Lu Li said, "What's in the wooden house?"

   "Why do you want to communicate with your family?" Friday asked rhetorically, she cared about Lu Li's thoughts just like Lu Li cared about the existence in the wooden house.

   "As an intelligent creature, it's normal to want to communicate with other intelligent creatures, it's nothing special," Lu Li replied.

  The change of opinion will not change for a while. For example, Lu Li is still used to thinking about things from a materialistic perspective, which is the biggest difference between him and the native humans in this world.

   "They are the enemies of mankind. Over the centuries, countless exorcists have died at the hands of those guys." The voice under the hood became interested.

   "The enemy and communication do not conflict." Lu Li replied calmly.

   "Well, you're right." Friday said, noticing that Lu Li was still looking at her waiting for some answer, so he added: "You will see it tomorrow morning."

   Her answer was still general, Lu Li nodded and asked, "Did my incident fail?"

   "Almost, the apprentice investigator assessment requires acting alone, and I have already intervened."

  Lu Li was silent, no negative emotions could be seen on his face.

   He has one more chance.

   "When will the investigator's rescue arrive?"

   "It won't be long, if we're lucky, we'll see the messenger tomorrow."

   "Messenger?"

   "You'll know when you see it."

  Friday's hood came from a yawn.

   "I'll rest first, and call me if there is a situation that can't be resolved."

Friday curled up his legs under the black robe, leaned his head against the warm stone wall, and looked up at Lu Li a few seconds later: "You won't hide the fact that you were helped by me in order to become an investigator, and then secretly kill me while I'm asleep. I don't know that I'm intervening and you can be an investigator, right?"

   "You're too detailed." Lu Li looked at Friday and said, which sounded like he was implying that he should do it.

  Friday didn't answer, he tugged at the corner of his black robe: "Don't peek under my clothes."

   She lowered her head against the stone wall, and her breathing gradually became steady.

  Lu Li watched silently for a while, then withdrew his gaze, added a piece of firewood to the fire, and picked up the two cans he brought back Friday from the rising sparks.

   The cans haven't been opened yet, have eaten nothing all day Friday, and maybe no water.

   placed the can against the stone wall, and Lu Li looked beyond the gap on the reclining chair and continued to watch the night.

The arrival of    Friday didn't change Lu Li's plans, but the mood of being alone and being together was completely different, even Lu Li was unavoidable. At least with a formal investigator by his side, he can more easily guard against the dangers of the outside world.

   And he can rest for a while when he wakes up on Friday.

   This thought continued until the outside was deserted and bright.

  The night is passing away, and the day is almost dawn.

  After the troubles that followed in the first half of the night were gone, Lu Li enjoyed a rare peace in the second half of the night, except for the occasional hallucinations and whispers.

   Think about it carefully, nothing happened again after coming back on Friday, is it related to her?

  Lu Li didn't wake up yet, he kept his sleeping position leaning against the rock wall on Friday, moved the reclining chair and got out of the windbreak.

  The sea breeze in the morning blows head-on, the black waves beat against the sandy beach, and the eastern sky glows brightly.

   Today is the second day of desert island survival.

  …

   "It's getting bright again..."

   In the dark and dull detective agency, a murmur sounded slowly.

   On the sofa, a transparent figure lowered his head.

Da da da--

  The corridor outside the door suddenly remembered the sound of heavy footsteps.

  The transparent figure on the sofa suddenly raised his head and stared at the door. But the footsteps didn't stop. They walked past the door of the detective agency and entered a certain family's house.

The hope in the    figure's eyes gradually dimmed.

   "He told me that he would be back early yesterday morning..."

  Anna had been waiting for a whole day, but that familiar figure disappeared and never appeared.

   "Even you..."

  Anna didn't dare to think about Lu Li's suffering. Whenever she thought about it, an unbearable, severe colic would come from her heart, as if her heart was still in her chest.

   The last time she felt the same way was when she learned of her mother's death.

   "If I go to sea with him..."

   murmurs echoed in the detective agency, the window became brighter than before, and the noise of the neighbors that once reassured Anna became harsh at this time.

   Equally harsh was the reason why Lu Li didn't bring her.

   She is so weak that instead of protecting Lu Li, she will drag him down.

   "If I had enough..."

"strength……"

  The obscure aura emanated from Anna's illusory body, erasing the imprint on her that belonged to a human being. In contrast, her aura began to gradually increase.

   In the dull detective agency, a strange dim shadow stretched out from under her feet. It is extremely light in color and almost blends in with its surroundings, making it difficult to spot.

"not enough……"

  Ana whispered, floating towards the ceiling, penetrating the roof, and appearing above the longhouse.

The smoke from the chimney beside    rises, drifting toward the gloomy sky with a deserted color. Anna was floating on the street. She wanted to become stronger, but she didn't know what she was looking for.

   drifted aimlessly, and at a certain moment, Anna suddenly felt the aura of the same kind in a house in front of her.

   Her eyes recovered, and an illusory figure that no one saw floated into the house.

  …

  Dark red blood poured on the entire wall and candlesticks, the light outside the window was blocked by the heavy curtains, barely letting in a ray of light.

   A corpse was leaning against the wall, with round eyes and the last frozen fear on his face.

   A ghost stood in front of the corpse, smiling cruelly, blood on his mouth. Suddenly he sensed something, turned his face back, and saw a figure in a long white dress that was as delicate as a porcelain doll floating behind him.

   was amazed, and the ghost walked towards Anna and smiled gracefully: "Beautiful lady, I—"

   Its figure suddenly solidified, and the graceful face was twisted and deformed, as if being pulled in different directions by an invisible force, extending and lengthening like a reflection on the water.

Snapped--

   There seemed to be an explosion in the void, and the male ghost suddenly exploded.

   Countless breaths poured into Anna's soul, enhancing her breath.

   "This power..." Anna felt the growing power within her body. "If I had had it earlier..."

   A touch of pain flashed in the clear eyes.

"not enough……"

   The current strength is not enough to find Lu Li.

   There was a certain color in Anna's eyes, ignoring the tragic corpse and floating out of the house.

  Her belief is stronger than ever.
