Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 296 Two hundred and eleven. Accident

The    carriage first returned to Sailor Street, stopped briefly, and then drove Luli to the Anles Brothers repair station on Snowflake Street.

   Maybe because the rainy season is approaching, there are especially many customers who come to buy tools and consult business.

   The alliance staff who played the boss didn't even have time to greet Lu Li, and could only answer the inquiries of the customers crowded in front of the counter.

  Lu Li came to the underground base through the elevator behind the wall paintings. There were a few more leaking wooden buckets under the corner of the wall than yesterday. The hall was as empty as ever, only the Alliance staff behind the bar in the lounge area were wiping the cups.

   "A glass of milk."

   Lu Li told him and sat down on the edge.

   The coolness came from under him, and Lu Li suddenly remembered that Rachel, not Tesla, was in charge of the base on duty this week.

   However, Lu Li still waited for a few minutes before standing up and leaving after the milk was delivered and finished.

   He did not leave the pipe passage, but walked into a room that Tristan had brought into. After walking through a long and narrow dark passage, a quaint carved wooden door showed the dim yellow light of the electric lamp overhead.

   pushed open the secret door, and Lu Li appeared in the real library. The air was filled with the smell of damp books, and some figures stood in front of the bookshelves, quietly flipping through them.

  Reis also recognized Lu Li and waved at him.

  Lu Li inquired about the follow-up that happened that day, but Reis didn't know the specific situation, he only knew that the evil spirit never appeared again.

   nodded slightly, and Lu Li asked him about books that recorded emotions in the forest.

   "Very rare knowledge... You can go to the third bookcase to have a look." Similar to pointing to the third bookcase against the wall, he picked up an oil lamp from under the table and handed it to Lu Li.

  Library is dimly lit, you need an oil lamp to see the words on the books.

Lu Li walked to the third cabinet. This time, there was no "Book Elf" to give a hint. Lu Li could only read one by one. Twenty minutes later, he was at the 80th page of a book called "The Encyclopedia of Weird Geography". Five pages are found describing the mood of the forest.

   is the exact opposite of what Lame Barton said. In this book, the exorcists named the "forest emotion" as "forest consciousness", but the content is exactly the same, they are all saying that the forest gave birth to emotions.

  The slayers think it has something to do with the weird rain. Because before the forest mood was born, it rained in these forests.

   That rain was probably the weird rain.

   In addition, Lu Li saw part of the information about forest emotions in another book called "The Handbook of Weird Survival".

  【Don't approach the spooky woods, you don't know what's hidden inside, and you don't know if the woods breathe. The act of diving into the forest without knowing anything is as stupid as throwing a fist at a stone. 】

  【Of course, unless you are being chased by a very dangerous being】

   It took Lu Li nearly an hour to find these two books with side descriptions.

   If you want to know the situation in more detail, Lu Li had better ask some people who know the inside story.

   Such as Tesla, who took over the responsibility of answering questions from Haders.

   And it's free.

  Tesla told Lu Li his address, so after Jean Reis sent him away from the other exit of the library, Lu Li took a rental carriage to the mountain, where Tesla's mansion was.

  …

   Onyx Lake.

  This lake is named after the clear lake surface and the agate at the bottom of the lake. However, some people say that it is because under the sunlight, the waves on the bottom of the water are as colorful as agate.

   He had never seen any kind of Lu Li, and under the majestic rain, he only saw the dense spray on the gloomy water.

  The carriage drove out a small half circle along the path by the lake, turned into a continuous single-family mansion, and stopped in front of Gate 16.

   Stepping out of the carriage, Lu Li raised his hand and rang the doorbell. After a while, the door opened, and an older maid appeared behind the warm-colored door with an umbrella. She walked down the steps and asked Lu Li through the fence gate.

   "I'm Lu Li, Tesla's colleague."

   "Please wait a moment." The old maid said, returning to the door, she reappeared not long after, followed by Tesla with an umbrella.

  The old maid opened the gate to let Lu Li enter the yard. Tesla smiled kindly: "Let me guess... Do you have a new question to ask?"

"Um."

   "I knew it, come in."

  Tesla laughed and led Lu Li into the mansion.

  The bright and warm lights and the burning wood in the fireplace dispel the coldness. Somewhat unexpectedly, Tesla's mansion is not as luxurious as it looks from the outside. On the contrary, there are only relatively warm decorations.

   "Where's your assistant?"

   Tesla asked suddenly.

  Lu Li took off his poncho and handed it to the old maid who was waiting beside him. After thanking him, he replied, "I came from the investigator base, she is not suitable to go there."

  Tesla nodded slightly, and sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace with Lu Li: "Adan Fuya is still resting."

   Adang Fuya is Tesla's wife. If Lu Li guessed correctly, she is a ghost like Anna.

  Lu left straight to the point and asked, "Do you know about the mood in the forest?"

   "The mood in the forest? Of course, we did a lot of research when they first appeared."

  The head maid brought two cups of hot coffee, and then retreated to the kitchen. There was only two people in the wide hall who were roasting in front of the fireplace.

   "What's the result?" Lu Li asked.

   "Just pay attention. They have emotions because of the weird rain, but they don't think, as long as they don't attack those tree kings... Since you asked about forest emotions, you should know what tree kings are."

"Um."

  Tesla didn't ask Lu Li why he wanted to know this, and told Lu Li all the information he knew about the mood of the forest.

   After understanding the general situation, Lu Li asked about other content: "Is the letter sent to the headquarters of the infection source now with results?"

   "Headquarters has not replied yet." Tesla showed a look of doubt. "It stands to reason that they should have checked it long ago."

   "Maybe something happened?"

   "Then we will get the news." Tesla shook his head slightly and judged: "Maybe because of the delay in the headquarters, you also know that our situation is getting more and more difficult..."

   Ten minutes later, Lu Li left Tesla's mansion and returned to the detective agency with the ingredients he bought from the market.

  Anna took the ingredients and went into the kitchen to prepare, and there was her clear voice: "As long as the rainy season is over, we can bring Annie. It happens that she is an elm tree, and the forest is also-"

   knock knock --

   A knock on the door interrupted her.

   A neighbor came over and told Lu Li that the phone rang for a long time after he left in the morning.

  Lu Li thanked him, asked the telephone office about his call in the morning, and called back.

   "Who are you looking for?"

   After a moment, the call was connected, and Aunt Mary's voice came from the microphone.

   "I'm Lu Li, the neighbor told me that you called a lot before."

   "Is it Lu Li!" Mary's voice suddenly became anxious.

   "Come to Shymfast, that tree... Annie, it's going to die!"
