Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 242 One hundred and fifty-seven. Changed Anna

  Click…

   The door lock made a small sound, and the gap beside the door gradually widened, revealing the figure standing behind the door.

   A dull damp wood smell emanated from behind the door. This smell persisted after the rainy season, but Lu Li, who was accustomed to smelling it, could not detect it. After a few days away, these unfamiliar flavors resurfaced.

  Lu Li stepped into the detective agency, the quiet and quiet living room and bedroom were empty, and Anna was not seen.

   But when Lu Li walked out of the kitchen door, a figure just came out of the kitchen.

  The illusory Anna was holding a toothbrush, her mouth full of snow-white foam, and her clear eyes stared at each other blankly.

"you're back!"

   After being in a daze for a long time, Anna suddenly came to her senses and jumped towards Lu Li cheering.

   She didn't seem to be angry because Lu Li missed the appointment, but she still complained: "You clearly said that you would be back the next morning."

   "Because something happened." Lu Li said, reaching out and pressing Anna's forehead, so that she couldn't get close.

   He has to sell this expensive dress, so it can't be soiled.

  Anna didn't want to let Lu Li go, she wrestled her head with Lu Li's palms, waving her hands to rush on Lu Li.

  Lu Li had to divert her attention and asked, "Is there something wrong with the detective agency when I'm not here these days?"

  Anna was indeed distracted, stopped and nodded: "Well, the daily newspaper, the investigator's newspaper, and a letter are all there."

  Anna pointed to the desk, Lu Lishunzhi looked at it, but at this moment, a fluttering figure slammed into his arms, when Lu Li retracted his gaze, Anna had already retreated, standing in front of him and grinning.

   A piece of toothpaste was left on Lu Li's clothes.

  To a certain extent, this kind of stickiness completely restrains Lu Li's indifference.

  Anna, who succeeded in her trick, put her hands behind her back: "Have you eaten breakfast?"

   "No." "Go buy it! My cooking skills have improved a lot in the past few days." Anna urged.

"it is good."

  Lu Li nodded and turned to leave the detective agency, even though he had just left not long ago.

   Watching Lu Li leave, the smile on Anna's delicate cheeks gradually faded away, and a sigh sounded from the detective agency.

   Under Anna's feet, an almost solid shadow stretched out from under her feet. There is also an obscure and gloomy breath that accompanies the shadow,

   Fortunately, it was hidden in time... If Lu Li knew that I didn't listen to him, he would be very disappointed... He must not tell him.

  Ana thought in her heart, and suddenly noticed something strange.

   She raised her head, stunned for a moment.

The figure of    Lu Li left and returned, standing quietly in the corridor behind the door.

   He saw it all.

  …

The sofa under    swayed slightly, as if Lu Li was still on the boat.

   Lu Li ignored the slight motion sickness caused by the long time on the boat, and quietly watched Anna who was standing on the opposite side.

   "When did it become like this."

  Lu left the mouth to break the silence, his tone was not different from usual.

   "Yesterday..." But Anna still lowered her head uneasily, her fingers tangled together like a child who made mistakes.

   That was one day after Lu Li lost his appointment.

  Lu Li continued to ask, "Are you a resentful spirit now?"

   "Well... no, I remember your reminder, I didn't do that for fear of losing my heart..."

   "How far is it?"

  Anna stretched out her thumb and index finger with a guilty conscience, almost pinching them together: "It seems... just a little bit..."

  Anna is not a Wraith, which means that the murderous Wraith that the Night Watch is hunting is not her.

   "Why are you trying to hide from me."

   "I'm afraid you'll be angry..."

To Anna's surprise, Lu Li didn't mean to accuse her, but helped her analyze her own strength: "In addition to the difference in strength between ghosts and resentful spirits, the latter has a mind projection, just like the black halo on Michelia's head. Mind projection. Representing ability, your mental projection is a shadow, what is its ability?"

  Ana hesitated for a while, then shook her head and said, "I can't use the power of shadows yet."

   "Maybe you won't be able to use it until you are promoted to Wraith." Lu Li said noncommittally. "Don't get promoted until I find out the relevant information about the resentful spirit."

"Um!"

  Anna nodded heavily, her face full of happiness for the rest of her life, and then she saw Lu Li leave the sofa, unbuttoned his shirt and walked towards her.

"Eh?"

  Anna didn't know where to place her eyes, she turned around randomly.

  Lu Li took off his shirt and threw it at her. The panicked Anna forgot to pick it up. The shirt covered her head with a whimper. Lu Li's voice passed by her: "Wash off the toothpaste you rubbed on."

"Oh."

  Anna took off the shirt covering her head, looked at Lu Li and walked into the bedroom, there was a movement of opening the wardrobe.

   Walking back to the kitchen, she put away her toothbrush and turned on the faucet to wash the foam on her shirt.

   After a while, Lu Li changed into clean clothes and left the detective agency to buy food.

After    Lu Li left, the detective agency returned to silence. Anna turned off the tap, and the sound came from behind the kitchen door.

   A touch of guilt was hidden deep in her eyes.

   She still lied to Lu Li.

   A few hours ago, she had become a Wraith.

   Now tell him that he will be very angry, or wait a while and pretend to be suddenly promoted to fool him...

  …

   Walking on the bluestone road of Sailor Street, under the gloomy sky, various figures passed by.

  Lu Li didn't doubt Anna's words.

   Not only because of trust, but also because Lu Li didn't notice any difference between Anna and her before.

   This is very important. The reason why Lu Li prevented Ana from improving her strength is that the increase of her strength will lead to a change in her personality.

   And this shift usually turns for the worse.

   However, this change did not appear in Anna, and Lu Li didn't understand, which made him realize that he still had a lot of knowledge to make up for.

   went to the vegetable market to buy some increasingly expensive ingredients, and Lu Li returned to the detective agency.

  The shirt was hanging on the kitchen lanyard, and the boiling water in the pot was churning with bubbles. Anna couldn't wait to grab the ingredients from Lu Li's hand and get into the kitchen.

   As always.

   After half an hour, the smell of boiled meat wafted out of the kitchen, filling the entire detective agency.

   It didn't take long for Anna to get out of the kitchen with the pot in her hand, fill Lu Li with broth and a large piece of meat, and wait for the evaluation.

   "How is it? Is it better than before?"

   Seeing Lu Li drinking the broth, there seemed to be stars twinkling in Anna's clear eyes

   "Perhaps."

   Lu Li's answer was ambiguous.

   Not so good, not bad either.

  Anna currently only has this one dish. Of course, maybe she has also learned how to cook other dishes, but Lu Li is not ready to accept new dishes yet.

   After lunch, I still felt a little sleepy, and this sleepiness was largely brought about by the ordinary detective agency.

  Lu Li was not in a hurry to deal with affairs, he lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

  In the quiet and peaceful morning, Anna sat behind her desk, holding an unfinished book, occasionally sneaking a glance at Lu Li, her eyes curved into a relaxed arc of letting go of everything.

   It would be nice if it could always be like this.

  Ana thought.
