Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 436 Thirteen. Farewell to Jimmy Brothers and Sisters

  Humanity is powerless against impending destruction, just as a backyard ant colony is powerless to disperse the impending storm.

  In the early industrial age when medicine was underdeveloped, even ordinary injuries could kill Lu Li.

"will you come back?"

  Although she was disappointed that she was about to part after meeting, Remi still had a glimmer of hope.

   She never thought to follow Lu Li away with her brother, he had already helped them too much, and how could the monster get on the big ship.

"maybe."

  Lu Li opened the drawer of the wooden table and took out the sheepskin map wrapped in cloth. There was no need to worry about bugs eating it, so he only used simple moisture-proof.

  The first to suffer from the calamity of plants is not human beings, but mosquitoes.

   In the usual July, the humid and hot Belfast makes people want to get rid of all their clothes, but they hate the mosquito bites hidden in the grass.

   Now Belfast is cold as if the coast is about to freeze, and the mosquitoes that were annoying and annoying have disappeared.

   Most ordinary people don't think it's a bad thing, just like they don't think there's anything wrong with trees not growing - except for farmers.

   He spread out the sheepskin map and handed it to Remy: "As long as it doesn't hurt the elms, most of them are safe, except for Silent Hill."

  Remi took the map, and Lu Li's voice continued: "I didn't have time to investigate there, just in case, be careful there."

   Put away the map, Remi looked at Lu Li seriously and said, "We will build a wooden house next to the cave and keep the refuge until you come back."

The    experience of going away did not seem to erase the gratitude of the siblings to Lu Li.

  Lu Li was noncommittal. After Remy asked about his sanity, he replied in silence, "Not very good."

   Lu Li talked about his sanity.

   "Didn't you use the method I wrote in the letter?"

   "The price is too high." Lu Li replied.

   There is a proverb among the sailors in Rodster Harbor: Half of the people who fall into the sea will drown, and half will die of dehydration and thirst.

   Sailors used this proverb to mock the inlanders who thought sea water was as drinkable as ordinary water,

   The method that Remy said was no different from that of sea water - Lu Li couldn't bear the huge price caused by eating weirdness.

   He's just a human after all.

   But as the sanity value gradually declines, Lu Li will one day go to eat weird food because he can't bear the price of the decline.

   After all, the outcome couldn’t have gotten any worse.

   "I'll keep an eye out for edible weirdness around."

   Lu Li said, put it in the options.

   He opened the cellar, indicating that the siblings had enough food for Jimmy to eat for a while, and enough tools for them to build a log cabin.

   As for how to get the wood... The brothers and sisters who know the Elm Forest know how to avoid danger.

   It was nearly ten o'clock in the morning. Lu Li, who was not planning to stay, left the cave. Remi Jimmy followed. Lu Li tilted his head and said to Anna, "Go and say goodbye to Annie."

  Anna nodded lightly and floated towards the lonely, thin withered elm tree.

   "That's Anna's younger sister and the future master of the Elm Forest." Lu Li said to the siblings behind him.

   "We'll take good care of her." Remy took it to heart.

   Under the drizzle, Anna, who was illusory and hazy, whispered something, picked up the stone, and left a notch as high as herself on the Annie tree.

  After saying goodbye, Lu Li took the carriage that was sent back to the carriage shop by his brother and sister, and left the top of the cliff with Remi Jimmy's farewell voice and the lingering farewell emotions.

  …

   "This is your deposit of 80 shillings, please take it sir."

   Returning the carriage rented by the siblings, Lu Li drove to the Xuehua District on the coast.

   Near noon, Lu Li's carriage arrived at the investigator base.

   There were bursts of hustle and bustle from the distant Rodster port, and the whistles of the ships were not interrupted, and the bustling seemed to return to its former glory.

   Snowflake Street is equally crowded, with out-of-towners gathering in bars along the coastal streets, on the beach, and beside guardrails before boarding time.

  Anna stayed on the carriage, while Lu Li walked into the maintenance station and went underground.

   But Tesla is not here, not just him, the three remaining leaders of the Belfast area are not at the base.

   Maybe I didn't know the secret of the "door" and Richard's whereabouts before I left.

   The shop manager of the An Leis brothers repair station, a real alliance member called An Leis told Lu Li that he could contact him if it was urgent.

  Lu Li glanced at the time, there were only a few dozen minutes left until 12 o'clock, he shook his head and declined his help, and left the pit to return to the carriage.

   The horses hoofs moved, and the carriage drove towards the top of the mountain.

  Lu Li sat in the carriage while Anna controlled the carriage. As time went on, the vibration from the wheels became more and more serious. Lu Li broke away from his thoughts and opened the curtains to look outside.

  The shabby and dilapidated wooden longhouse stretches into the distance, and the broken bluestone road is the ultimate challenge for any drunkard.

   When Lu Li remembered where this was, they had already entered the slum.

  Anna hopes that this road will pass quickly, the bumps will make Lu Li uncomfortable. It just backfired, three figures suddenly appeared in front of the carriage, blocking the way.

   "Two strange guys blocked us." Anna's voice sounded in my ears.

  Lu Li stepped out of the carriage and looked at the two young men each holding wooden sticks and wearing overalls with suspenders.

   "Sir, can you give us some money?" The simple-looking young man said politely, and was pushed away by the brown-haired young man beside him: "Shut up idiot, we want to fight—"

   "How much do you want." Lu Li looked at them calmly.

"only need to--"

   The simple and honest young man's voice was interrupted by the brown-haired young man, who made a vicious expression: "All! Take out all the shillings on you!"

The voice of    fell, and the two young people suddenly felt a chill coming over their bodies.

   They don't wear a lot, and they can hardly help trembling in the cold.

   "Impossible, I'll only give you 20 shillings."

   No residents or passers-by around the carriage witnessed the bizarre robbery.

   "It's all your fault, you idiot."

  Mike glared at his companion, deliberately waved the wooden stick, made a cracking sound to increase the deterrence, raised the volume and said: "You seem to have made a mistake, we are the ones who rob you, not the businessmen who bargain with you!"

   "I'm an investigator." Lu Li said, noticing the confusion in the eyes of the two young people, he added: "You can understand it as an exorcist."

   "Are you a policeman?" Mike Fox questioned.

"no."

   "That doesn't work!"

   "But I help people stay away from weird infestations."

  Virgil leaned into Mike's ear and whispered, "He's a good guy, we probably shouldn't have done that..."

  Mike bumped his disservice partner away with his shoulder. He wanted to say something but couldn't open his mouth, so he could only reluctantly say: "Okay, then 20 shillings..."
