Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 286 Two hundred one. Bad foreboding

   A black crow landed outside the window.

   His dark eyes reflect everything around him.

  Parents were busy strengthening their houses on the street, and naughty children rushed to the windows, trying to catch the crow.

   It stared at the reflection on the window and behind it, flew up to avoid the attack of the human children, and landed on the eaves of the house.

   The little boy looked unwillingly for a while, then turned and ran away. The crow flew down again and landed in front of the window, pecking at the glass with its beak.

  The two figures in the room heard the sound and looked, and then a figure walked out of the room.

   The crow tilted his head and looked at the remaining figures in the room for a while, then turned his head to the longhouse door that was pushed open.

   Holding an umbrella, Lu Li walked out from behind the door, walked to the window, and took out the note from the black crow's leg.

  The rainy season is coming soon. In order to prevent rain leakage, the two windows of the detective agency were reinforced by the landlord to seal the gap, but the windows could not be opened normally.

   This time, the black crow did not stop, spread its wings and flew into the rain screen, disappearing.

  Lu Li returned to the detective agency with the note, asked Anna to light the oil lamp, sat on the sofa and unfolded the note.

   "The Wraith incident in Shymfast?" Anna carried the oil lamp and placed it on the dining table beside the sofa, illuminating a small area.

"should be."

  Lu Li moved a little to the edge, and read the content above by the light from the window and the oil lamp.

   A curious cheek quietly approached.

  【You completed the event this time: Cries for help in the alley】

  【Event Difficulty: None】

  【Completion: 111%】

  【Total time: 1 day】

  [Your completion degree in the event is 111%, and you will get a reward of 111 (completion degree) x2 (no difficulty event multiplier) = 222 investigation points]

  【The following content is informational details】

[The weirdness is a female wraith (5%), whose head turns clockwise when speaking (1%), usually appears in dark alleys at night, and is pulled into its ritual as people approach (7%) ), any movement, including leaving and approaching, will be judged as a ritual failure (25%) by the spirit's rules. 】

[In the dark alley, there will first be a cry for help from the body of the resentful spirit (5%), and then the head of the resentful spirit will appear on the edge of the alley, allowing people to see her face (5%), and a few palms will emerge from the darkness In the middle and deep, drag back the head of the Wraith (5%), the cry for help will turn into a scream (5%) after a few seconds, until the sound disappears after about 30 seconds (3%). 】

[If the person who was pulled into the ritual did not move at this stage, the resentful spirit would resurface at the edge of the alley, repeatedly asking why he didn't save me (7%), and at this time answering "because you are not human.", resentment The spirit will answer "I am a man."——]

The content after    repeats the conversation between Lu Li and the resentful spirit that night. Lu Li directly looked at the information degree in the last bracket, which was displayed as (50%).

   This usually means that the sense of ritual of the resentful spirit has been cracked by Lu Li, which can be avoided to a certain extent by repeated means. If you directly destroy the Wraith, this information will become 100%.

A completion level of 111% means a very high evaluation. The only regret is that this event is only a basic event, or it will not be judged as "difficult" in the investigator event, so there is only the most basic double multiplier, only Switch to the 222 investigation point.

   is about 2500 shillings.

   Counting the nearly 600 shillings told to the merchant, the total income was 3000 shillings.

   is much better than being an exorcist and going around solving troubles.

In fact, Lu Li's income can be further improved - no one will exchange the contribution points obtained for shillings, exorcists usually use them for practical tools or congeners, as well as some privileges, those things in exchange The value is much higher than the 1:10 ratio. Lu Lida can exchange contribution points for these things, and then sell them.

   But Lu Li didn't have that much time.

   Not only because of the approaching and possible doomsday, but also the deep sea stones whose prices are rising day by day.

   Anyway, Lu Li already had the funds to buy canned food and hire masonry.

  If the [Cannibal House] event can be raised to "Easy Difficulty", Lu Li who completely completes the event will get a large amount of investigation points, which will make it more than enough for Lu Li to buy the fourth deep-sea stone.

   After a while, the manager of the grocery store personally delivered two boxes of canned beef. After Lu Li expressed that he wanted another box of canned beef, he happily promised that it would be delivered immediately, and if there was still demand in the future, he could offer some discounts.

   does not include this time.

   But Lu Li asked him to send canned beef tomorrow, because he only had contribution points and no shillings.

   The store manager said yes, and happily agreed with Lu Li that the price was 1,100 shillings—a fraction of 40 shillings was waived.

   It is confirmed that it will be delivered tomorrow afternoon, and the manager will leave the detective agency.

   "It's really expensive..."

   Under the eyes, Anna, who was stained with part of Lu Li's character, muttered.

   Even at the current price, 57 shillings is enough for a family to eat a fairly full meal, but Lu Li only bought cans of heavy tin cans.

   “But good value for money.”

  The storage time of canned food is unmatched by all foods.

   Except honey.

   But the world should have lost sight of bees. Plants no longer grow, and bees will be among the first to go extinct.

   This is also one of the reasons why Lu Li insists that the world is collapsing.

   He knows better than anyone how important plants are.

  Lu Li asked Anna to move the three boxes of cans back to the bedroom and put them away. The bedroom will temporarily become his refuge after the rainy season.

   After finishing everything he could do so far, Lu Li picked up the three newspapers that were sent in the morning and read.

   There is no new news, or there is a high probability that the new news that is currently happening will not appear in these normal newspapers.

   The expected arrival time of the rainy season has been predicted: it will start next Wednesday and last for nearly half a month.

   In addition to the forecast of the rainy season, there are also notices issued by three newspapers at the same time. During the rainy season, the daily newspaper will be changed to twice a week, Monday and Thursday.

   Maybe Lu Li was thinking too much, but all of this really had a bad atmosphere of an approaching disaster.

   Looking out the window, the residents of this street under the rain curtain are still busy building their nests.

   At two o'clock in the afternoon, a mason came to the longhouse and was taken to the door of the detective agency by a neighbor.

  Anna disappeared, and Lu Li brought the masons into the detective agency.

The mason with a brace and a poncho was stunned when he saw the deep-sea stone. He told Lu Li that this kind of whole stone was not something they could handle—of course they could cut it open, but they would lose a considerable part of the stone and become Scrap cannot be used.

  After the mason left, Anna emerged and looked at Lu Li thoughtfully.

"Um."

   But wait for the merchant to come and ask for details.

  Tomorrow Monday, the businessman will come with the Deep Sea Stone and the "Investigator Weekly" that makes Tesla moody.

   That is a good time to resolve doubts.
