Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 344 Two hundred and fifty nine. David's death

   The wind and the rain beat the windows restlessly, and lightning like tree branches stretched deep in the clouds.

   The pale white burst into the corridor.

   The approaching jet-black figure was like an abyss, annihilating the light that fell on him.

   "What's going on?" The butler's tone was urgent.

   "What did you see?" Lu Li tilted his head slightly.

   "It's David, he... he seems to be dead."

   "David, he's soaking wet and has a wound on his neck like a dead man."

  The voices of Anna and the housekeeper came into my ears at the same time.

   "How could this be... it shouldn't be this way..." Lola couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at David who was walking towards them in disbelief.

   "We've all been alone with her before..."

  Lola's shock is not because of his relationship with David, but because David is a more professional exorcist than he is.

   And now, this exorcist who was stronger than himself died without warning in the ceremony of the shadow of the thread, and the body was used to play with.

   "Calm down, Lola," Petra whispered, reminding him that they were still in the ghost story.

  The obscure ancient voices approached the crowd with "David".

  【The servants watched David come, he looked strange, his stiff movements seemed to be rusted. "Are you all right, man?" asked the servant Lu Li. 】

   "Are you okay, man." Lu Li said to "David" who was obviously dead and pulled into the story.

   The horror scene of "David" answering did not happen, only the sound of obscure ancient sounds.

  【"It's my fault, David was accidentally...injured." Sara, who was behind everyone, said at this moment. The servants had no reason not to believe the eldest lady, so they all looked at the silent David with sympathy. 】

  【"Miss, dinner is ready." Maid Irene said to Sarah. Sarah nodded, followed the maid Irene out of the corridor, and David left alone. 】

["David doesn't look right..." Servant Lu Li subconsciously looked at the retreating back of servant David, feeling a bump on his shoulder, he looked at servant Petra, Petra's smile contained a hint of mockery: "Look Look what Lu Li, our respected servant of the Viscount Mansion, found?"]

   ["Nothing..." After a brief silence, the servant Lu Li replied. 】

  The butler followed the baron away, and a daring maid was assigned to follow David. After a while, she brought news that David, the corpse, returned to the backyard under the street lamp by the Onyx Lake.

   there corresponds to the tree house in the story.

  It is difficult for everyone to judge whether David still has self-awareness, or has become a puppet of the shadow of the thread.

   The latter is more likely.

  After dinner at 6:00 pm, "Sarah" went back to the bedroom and hibernated, and the crisis was temporarily away from them.

  The brightly lit restaurant, the lightning and thunder outside the window could not affect it at all.

  The food is hot, and the people are silent, not saying a word, not moving.

   Only Lu Li was eating with a knife and fork.

   "The murderer is already obvious... As for her purpose... It has something to do with resurrection. She is using us as an experiment." Petra said while rubbing her eyebrows. "I propose to try not to act alone next."

  The shadow of the thread lifts for too long. It takes several days to wear off their inner vigilance. Everyone has been alone with Sarah more or less, and then suddenly attacked at a certain moment. The effect is remarkable.

  David just died unexpectedly.

   "What if it doesn't want us out alive..." Lola whispered pessimistically.

"If Sarah wants to do something to us, there will always be some signs, then anyway..." Petra looked at Lu Li, saw that he was eating non-stop, looked around at everyone and said, "If one of us is unfortunate enough to be alone, Join the others as soon as possible, and pay attention to the plot. We can actively change this, as Lu Li has demonstrated. Baron—"

  Petra's gaze fell on the baron: "If you can, I suggest you find an exorcist who has experience in facing the shadow of the thread as soon as possible."

   "I'll contact you as soon as possible," replied Baron Luludai, the butler.

  The baron is busy doing other things.

The fair-skinned fingers held the goblet, and the other hand supported the chin. The baron raised a gesture to Lu Li, his narrow eyes fell on him: "Mr. Lu Li is going back to the detective agency tonight? You may be caught by that if you go back alone. Only the evil spirit is watching, and the weather outside is very-"

   "Back."

   "—Not good, so let the carriage take you back." The baron changed his tune temporarily and said with a nonchalant smile.

"thanks."

   Half an hour later, Lu Li left the manor in the carriage of the Baron's Mansion.

   There are hardly any pedestrians on the street, the street lights illuminate a small area in a limited way, and the sound of the heavy rain drowns out the sound of the ruts, as if the whole world is nothing but the heavy rain and thunder.

  The standing water was blocked by the sandbags at the door, but it was too difficult to keep dry in this weather. Walking into the corridor, the strong smell of damp wood came up, and the smell intensified after returning to the detective agency.

   After all, this is just a simple wooden longhouse, and it is very strong without leaking rain or blowing open in the strong wind.

   He gathered his hands around his mouth and let out a light cough. Lu Li, who had a more comfortable throat, went into the kitchen to make a fire.

   Not cooking, but making it less soggy in the detective agency.

   A fire started, and when the added firewood was burning, Lu Li threw a few pieces of anthracite into the stove. Most of the chimney is sealed, and if ordinary coal or firewood is used, the smoke is difficult to disperse.

  The fire light licked Lu Li's face, and the warmth dispelled the cold and dampness in the room.

"Land from."

   A soft call from Anna came from beside him, Lu Li raised his head and calmly looked at the illusory figure of Anna.

   "Will you die in the ritual of lifting the shadow of the thread?"

  David's death brought Anna a great touch.

  Lu Li was silent, thinking about it and answering her: "With you here, maybe not."

  …

  【Sarah woke up from the bed when the bright moonlight poured into the balcony. 】

  【The servants in the manor have fallen asleep, Sarah quietly left the bedroom and came to the tree house in the back garden. 】

  【The thick darkness surrounds her, and there seems to be something in the darkness, exuding a frowning rotten smell. There was no fear on Sarah's cheeks, and she lit the candle on the desk by the faint moonlight. 】

  【The firelight lit up faintly, except for Sarah beside the desk, another expressionless face appeared on the edge of the light. 】

   [Sarah ordered the dead David to lift Adam's body out of the bed and transfer it to the basement of the woodshed. Not long after doing this, David's body lost its strength and became a corpse again. 】

[Sarah watched all this indifferently and recorded it: "The ceremony still needs to be improved, David only 'lived' for a dozen hours, and his body is still decomposing. I don't know if it is because I am the host The reason for this, David obeys me, but this will not work, I need a complete resurrection..."]

   [Sarah thought of those servants, this time, she didn't have the slightest bit of intolerance. 】

  【This is the fate the traitor deserves. 】

  【They deserved it. 】
