Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 258

  The envelope was put away by Lu Li.

  Now, Lu Li still has six newspapers to read.

  Anna is still driving the carriage, and she will drive with interest for a while before the heat subsides.

  Lu Li first opened the three newspapers today, and the weather the day after tomorrow showed heavy rain without exception. Not surprisingly, the rain of mutation may refer to Sunday.

   It's not a good idea to leave a safe detective agency in this situation, but they should be able to return by the day after tomorrow.

   "Rain of Mutation..."

When    went to the investigator base, Lu Li actually forgot to ask what the Mutant Rain was.

   Looking at the text, the case of Baron Joseph intensified and became the first news. The nobles identified by the plaintiff actually had shadows of other nobles and rich people around them, and the Council of Elders has dispatched the inspection department to investigate.

The second edition of    is the missing Immortal Giant, and the difference from the previous one is that the situation of the farmland is mentioned, although only briefly.

The content behind    is all daily trivia, nothing special.

   Putting the newspaper aside, Lu Li picked up an investigator's weekly newspaper, the time on it was May 1st, Lu Li put it down, and replaced it with the June 1st newspaper.

   Ignoring the two reminders written at the top, Lu Li looked at the text.

  【End of the Endless Abyss Nightmare Event】

   This is the first news of the week before June, in the Badlands, a world event.

  [At the moment when the bottomless abyss was explored to a depth of 1630 meters, the committee of investigators decided to terminate the bottomless abyss investigation incident, tentatively determined the completion rate to be 163%, and handed over the incident to the night watchman for follow-up processing. We thank the 63 investigators who participated in this incident, they are: Legendary Agent 1, Legendary Agent 2 (retired), Agent Stephen (death), Agent Nightingale (death), Agent Reader, Agent Sunday (death), Senior Investigator Vincent (retired), Senior Investigator...]

  【You are heroes who maintain the human world, future generations will praise and remember your contributions to the whole world】

Thirty-two investigators have died, dozens have retired, and the casualty rate is unbelievable. This kind of data usually appears in the Night's Watch - it's hard to imagine what happened to them, and the bottomless abyss what is.

  Lu Li will not underestimate any investigator, especially higher-level investigators.

Every senior investigator has completed more than three events with 100% completion, and every agent has completed more than six events with 100% completion. This is not because one event has not yet been experienced, and the sanity value has dropped to retirement. The degree of Lu Li can be compared.

   Because of this, Lu Li was more concerned about what happened to them. I didn't pay attention to other news for the time being, and quickly scanned the contents of the investigator's weekly report, which only had one.

   But there is no follow-up to the news.

   Wanting to know what happened, Lu Li opened the newspaper from the previous time.

  Lu Li picked up the May newspaper, and the first page of the news showed the writing of the bottomless abyss.

  [The bottomless abyss has been explored to a depth of 980 meters]

[The residents of the surrounding 30 miles have been dispersed. As of the press date, the deepest exploration record is that of Agent Stephen, but after returning to the ground, his condition was very poor. Before he fell into a coma, he brought back a message: approaching 1000 meters As he went deeper, he heard the howls of many people below. 】

  A photo was attached to the side of the news. In the low-pixel black and white photo, a figure with a rope wrapped around his waist was supported by several people to stand up. Behind them, a deep hole the size of a well suddenly appeared in a flat terrain.

   His eyes swept across several blurred faces, and landed on the same blurry deep hole. After quietly observing for a few seconds, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, as if the flames in the oil lamp were flickering, but it returned to its original state in an instant.

  Lu Li, however, observed the edge of the dark cave, where the darkness twisted a bit, as if it came alive and crawled on the paper——

   Aware that something was wrong, Lu Li looked away and found a line of comments below the photo.

  *If you see anything abnormal or feel unwell after looking into the abyss, please look away immediately.

   swept across the bottomless abyss again, where it had returned to its original state, as if what Lu Li saw was just an illusion.

   This news supplemented the information on the bottomless abyss, but Lu Li still didn't know what the bottomless abyss was.

   Hope the April Investigator's Weekly Report will have more detailed content.

  Lu Li thought and picked up the third newspaper.

  【New Difficult Event in Badlands: Bottomless Abyss】

   The April 1st newspaper was just in time for the start of events.

   [We found a new fixed event in the Looking Up Plain (discoverer: Investigator Husky), and Agent Nightingale took the incident and went to investigate. 】

  【The depth of the bottomless abyss is unknown, it is expected to be more than 300 meters deep, there is no airflow at the bottom, and there is pollution. Those who are close to the bottomless abyss will have an irresistible desire to enter. 】

  [The bottomless abyss will not cause the Sanity value to drop. It is tentatively set as an ordinary event, and the alliance personnel will join the event. 】

  【After investigating the bottomless abyss using conventional means, the agent Nightingale entered the bottomless abyss through a rope. 】

  【The following content is the communication content of Agent Nightingale returning to the ground】

   Detective Nightingale: "*gasp* How many meters did I drop in total?"

   Alliance Member: "73 meters."

   Detective Nightingale: "How many meters were when I marked?"

   Alliance member: "50 meters, did you find anything there?"

   Agent Nightingale: "*brief pause* Hmmm...I saw...strange faults."

   Alliance Member: "Exotic fault? Soil fault?"

   Agent Nightingale: "Yes, earth faults. They—"

   Detective Nightingale: "*shouting* Damn, don't get too close, your willpower can't resist!"

  [Some members of the alliance got too close to the bottomless abyss when they pulled back the ropes, they were contaminated with infectious substances, they were pulled away, and everyone retreated to a hundred meters away from the bottomless abyss. 】

   Alliance member: "What about the content behind?"

   Detective Nightingale: "Those soil faults are very densely packed together, forming an indescribable portrait."

   Alliance staff: "You mean there are murals on the rock wall at 50 meters?"

   Detective Nightingale: "No, it's not a mural. I can tell what is paint and what is soil fault. They are portraits that fall on the ground layer by layer."

   Alliance staff: "Wall... Does the portrait reduce your sanity?"

   Detective Nightingale: "No, my sanity has never been lowered. The portraits are normal human portraits, they are surrounded by them, very realistic."

   Alliance Personnel: "You mean them?"

   Detective Nightingale: "Yes, there are several figures on the surrounding rock walls, and there may be more below, so I continued to descend, but at 73 meters, the oxygen was too low, and I had to come up."

   Alliance personnel: "We will continue to pour oxygen downwards."

   Agent Nightingale: "Better hurry up."

  [When exploring the bottomless abyss for the second time in the afternoon, the nightingale, the detective, suddenly broke the rope when it reached 143 meters, and the nearby investigators were on their way. 】

  [Event level increased, tentatively set to: Difficult]
