Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 239 One hundred and fifty four. Arrival

   The thick chimneys of the ship belched thick smoke, blending with the night sky.

   The ship with full rudder on the right began to turn, and Lu Li walked to the stern, followed by the old man and the captain.

   Walking to the stern, Lu Li stood in front of the deck railing, looking at the dark outline of Wanghai Cliff, which was gradually receding.

   Sailing and Wanghai Cliff may have come to an end for now, but these experiences made Lu Li no longer have hope for this world.

   Whether it is the frequent weirdness or the breath that is spreading to the land, it renders a sense of the end of the world here.

   And that day won’t be long.

  It’s a pity that we’ve been separated from Friday. If she’s around Lu Li, you can try to ask her—she seems to know everything.

  In any case, after returning home, we must start preparing to establish a refuge point.

   "You look confused."

  The old man walked to Lu Li's side, put his palm on the guardrail, and looked out of the dark ship with emotion.

   "Can you also see emotions from the back?" Lu Li said, still staring into the depths of the darkness, as if he could still see Wanghai Cliff.

   "I'm fifty years old." The old man smiled kindly and told Lu Li the experience brought by his age: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The    world collapse theory Lu Li couldn't speak to the old man, but he did have some questions he wanted to know.

   "I saw a wooden house in Wanghaiya, and there was no one in it."

The old man continued: "A long time ago, Wanghai Cliff was the outer lighthouse of Belfast, but as the deep sea and inaccessible places are full of dangers, and ships are difficult to navigate, Wanghai Cliff began to be abandoned. Not long ago, Wanghai Cliff was replaced by our alliance personnel. On duty, I have an impression of the guy on duty, he has an old monkey as old as him, but he disappeared a while ago."

   "The rescue team went to search. I don't know what to do next. I guess they didn't find him. As you can see, the deep sea is becoming more and more dangerous. I think you should have a deep understanding of this in Wanghai Cliff."

   Of course, Lu Li had a deep understanding, and he even thought that the world would not last long.

   He asked: "There is a strange shadow in the Wanghaiya wooden house, is that related to the disappearance of the watchman?"

  The old man's expression gradually became serious: "You can describe that shadow."

   "May reduce Sanity."

   The old man shook his head gently: "Usually only taboos, distorted knowledge and existence, and certain special contents can affect our sanity value. If the shadow you are talking about is not these existences, even if it is an evil spirit, it doesn't matter."

   Having said that, the old man raised his arm, showing the sanity counter on his wrist.

   "And we have this thing."

  Lu Li nodded and described the shadow's form and attack method.

   "It may be a resentment or an evil spirit... Thank you for the news, I will tell it to the Alliance. Also, don't forget to sell this news to the merchants, they want everything."

  The old man's familiarity with the interior made Lu Li guess something: "Have you ever been an investigator too?"

   "No, I'm the night watchman."

  Lu Li didn't ask any further, but instead said, "How's the ship that sent me here?"

  The atmosphere froze for a moment, the old man paused slightly and whispered: "It's missing."

   "We didn't find any traces in the surrounding waters, and the courier couldn't find anyone on board."

  The old man's voice fell, and the stern deck became silent.

  The silence did not last long, and the two of them looked at the deck not far away at the same time.

   An oval black shadow emerged from the deck, rolled to the side of the ship, and rolled off the ship.

  Lu Li thought of something at this moment, he calmly retracted his gaze and observed the old man, only to find that the old man was also looking at him.

   "Is there anything there?" Lu Li asked the old man in advance.

   He can't reveal his sanity, at least not until he earns enough shillings.

   "Some old problems, you know, I've 'retired'." The old man didn't think much, pointed to his head and said. "Okay, let's go back to the cabin. The deep sea after dark is very dangerous, it's best not to stay outside for too long."

  The two turned and walked towards the cabin. The old man was still talking: "You can go back to the cabin to wash your body, then have a full meal, and have a good night's sleep. We will arrive at the port of Rodester tomorrow morning."

   "Should I take the initiative to report to the investigator base?"

   Lu Li did not forget the events that he may or may not have completed.

   "No, the investigator's determination team will wait for you at the dock to verify your physical condition and the specific process of this incident, and then you can wait for them to count your completion and rewards."

  The old man greeted the captain in front of him, and the three returned to the bright and warm cabin together.

  Captain led Lu Li to the door of the room on the upper deck. The room was not as luxurious as the one on the sailboat three days ago, but it was similar. The captain and the old man stopped disturbing Lu Li and left the room.

  The light of the charcoal fire in the fireplace warms the body and mind. Lu Li closed the curtain of the porthole and sat at the dining table to wait. A few minutes later, two sailors brought a shower bucket and a change of clothes.

   After they left, Lu Li locked the door, untied the gun holster and put it within reach, wiped his body with a damp towel, and picked up the clothes the captain had prepared for him: a white shirt, black pants, and a tuxedo.

  The latter is indifferent to Lu Li, while the former is Lu Li's daily attire. The fine stitching and silky feel show that they are valuable, much better than the clothes Lu Li bought in the clothes store on Sailor Street.

   However, the clothes are too thin, and it is difficult for Lu Li to stretch after putting it on.

   Maybe you can ask the merchant if they accept clothes when you go back.

   After waiting for a while, the door was knocked, the dining car was pushed into the room, and the plates were placed on the dining table in turn.

  A roast chicken, a foie gras, a large bowl of caviar, and a plate of white bread with the aroma of wheat.

   There is even a chef with a kitchen knife cutting roast chicken for Lu Li.

  Lu Li's eating is not reckless, but it has nothing to do with elegance. He chewed his food silently, and at one point he asked, "Will we be in trouble when we go back?"

   "No monster dares to provoke the Maria, sir." The chef showed a proud and ignorant smile.

   The last immortal giant that said similar words has disappeared since then.

  Caviar and foie gras Lu Li only took a small bite, roasted chicken and white bread more suit his appetite.

   After eating the food, he watched the chef pack up and push the dining cart away. Lu Li locked the door and leaned into the big soft bed, almost sinking into it.

   I hope tonight is safe.

  Lu Li thought, and gradually fell asleep.

   I was half asleep and half awake with a slight sway, feeling that not long after, the door was knocked gently, and a polite voice sounded outside the door.

   "Mr. Lu Li, we'll be arriving in Belfast soon."
