Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 326 Two hundred forty one. A good news and a bad news

  Standing a little shorter, the butler wearing a men's tuxedo opened his mouth to say something, and finally turned into a helpless sigh, bowed slightly and signaled: "Please wait in the reception room for a while."

  The maid came to Lu Li to lead the way, the latter withdrew his gaze and followed the maid into the side door of the hall.

  Baron Joseph's eyes never left Lu Li's body. His eyes kept seeing his figure disappearing behind the door of the reception room, and his slender legs under his long skirt were about to follow.

  The butler wearing thick round glasses took a step forward to block the baron, his usual flat tone: "You still have to stay to preside over the assessment."

  Baron Joseph said indifferently: "It's better if you don't do this kind of thing."

   "They want to see Baron Joseph."

  Baron Joseph's expression became more impatient: "What if he ran away!"

   "He won't run, Mr. Lu Li was attracted by you."

  Baron Joseph's red lips curled slightly, she was very satisfied with the butler's pun—

Seeing that the baron had temporarily extinguished his mind and leaned back on the sofa, the butler picked up the blanket that had fallen on the carpet, handed it to the waiting maid, and brought a new velvet blanket to the baron from the maid who was holding the tray: There are other down..."

  The housekeeper paused for a while, but he didn't think of the appropriate wording, so he skipped and said, "Please hold back, we can only add four more people at most."

   "Isn't there three more?"

   "But each less reduces our chances of getting rid of it."

  Baron Joseph raised his palm lazily, admiring the five white fingers like works of art, and said indifferently: "Just treat it as a vase. Isn't it normal to have such a character in a story?"

   She deliberately put on a heavy and low voice and recited: "Then the heroic Baron Joseph shot a hero to save the beauty, and successfully won the beauty's heart, hugging each other and kissing under the moon."

  The maids standing on both sides of the bench were indifferent, as if they were used to the baron's... casualness.

But just as Baron Joseph's voice fell, a black line that emerged from the void became solid, and an ominous aura enveloped the baron's body. Accompanied by whispering murmurs, a few twisted and deformed, extending several meters of black mist. Withered claws emerged from the void, as if chasing a black line, lingering and descending.

   The butler's face suddenly turned ugly, but it was Baron Joseph, who raised his eyes and glanced, revealing an undisguised repulsion: "Disgusting."

The housekeeper raised his head at this moment and shouted loudly: "Every romance novel will have a hero saving the beauty, this is normal! Even the maid Irene will long for these, longing to be loved by a handsome man named Baron Joseph. save!"

   Her voice spread throughout the hall, but it didn't seem like she was speaking to anyone present.

When the    voice fell, the black mist withered claws that slowly descended above Baron Joseph's head stopped, gradually retracted, and dissipated into the void.

   Everything is back to normal.

   Except for the fear that never dissipated in the eyes of the maids.

   Witnessing the black line disappearing completely, the butler breathed a sigh of relief and resumed his business-like attitude: "Remember to pay attention to your words, even if it is sleeping, now is not the time for the story to proceed."

  Baron Joseph waved his hand impatiently: "Understood, hurry up and call the next one."

   The examination that paused for a few minutes continued. As the head maid appeared again, the whispers in the garden faded. The exorcists envied the last one who passed the examination successfully, and hoped that they would be like him...

  …

  As the reception room of the baron's mansion, the splendor here is not much inferior to that of the hall. The marble tiles and the exquisite reliefs like works of art are all luxurious.

   There were expensive fruits and cakes on the long table. After sitting down on the engraved silver seat, Lu Li paused for a moment on the dinner plate, and then moved away.

   He couldn't eat for a while.

   But... maybe a few smaller grapes.

   After a few minutes, the silver plate with the grapes was half short.

   When Lu Li picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, his movements suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed tightly.

"What's wrong!"

   After Lu Li was in this state for a few seconds, Anna's nervous voice came from the void: "The food is poisonous!?"

"nothing."

   The frowning frown gradually stretched, Lu Li shook his head gently, and put the grapes back in his hands.

   "Just wanted to hiccup."

   Just finished speaking, the door of the reception room opened.

  Lu Li tilted his head and saw the second exorcist who passed the test walk into the reception room.

  …

  Call——

   A large ball of fire spewed out of the exorcist's mouth, and the bright hall instantly became dim.

  As the fireball disappeared in mid-air, the hall became bright again. The exorcist wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and stood cautiously waiting for the baron's evaluation.

  pop——pop——pop——

   Slow applause came from the sofa. With a smile on his lips, Baron Joseph clapped his palms admiringly. He tilted his head and said to the housekeeper, "Give this circus member some tips and send them out."

   "Huh? I'm not a circus member, I'm an exorcist—"

   After dozens of seconds, the next exorcist walked into the hall.

   This exorcist was wearing a black cloak, and his thin face was full of vicissitudes. His eyes stayed on Baron Joseph on the sofa for a while, and moved to her head, as if he saw something.

  's hoarse and magnetic voice overflowed: "I knew that Baron Joseph's ostentatious hiring of an exorcist was not just a simple hire, but the trouble you encountered was not small."

   The butler standing by the sofa stood up slightly and noticed what he was saying: "So we invited all the exorcists in the Ellen Peninsula."

   The middle-aged exorcist smiled and meant something: "This is not everything."

   Before the butler could speak, he continued: "You don't need to tell me those words like a clown, I know what the evil spirit the baron encountered."

   The butler's face gradually became serious. He didn't continue talking, and said directly: "Please go to the reception room and wait."

  …

  Lu Li's gaze moved down, and he saw the badge on his cloak.

   The three-eyed black crow flashed a dark color.

   "Exorcist?" The exorcist took the initiative to speak.

   "Colleague." Lu Li took out the badge from his pocket.

   The two of them looked at each other with less unfamiliar eyes.

   "I thought I was the only one who came to the Baron's place idle." The exorcist sat down opposite Lu Li and introduced politely, "Ben Petra."

"Land from."

  Petra nodded to Lu Li, and then talked with him: "Have you thought about how to deal with the shadow of the thread?"

   "Shadow of the thread?"

   Lu Li frowned, instinctively aware of a trace of omission.

   "Didn't you find it?" Petra was a little surprised and explained to Lu Li, "The evil spirit entangled in the baron and her butler is the shadow of the thread."

   Of course Lu Li knew that, just yesterday he heard about this evil spirit.

   But he didn't expect to get in touch with it so soon.
