Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 446 Twenty-three. Emergence

   poured into the carriages of Belfast, a carriage went upstream, the once dreamy Onyx Lake was now dusty, the carriage drove far away, over the Sugard Mountain to the back.

   "We won't get to Marsh Road until tomorrow morning, should we take a break?"

   Leaving the foot of the mountain, Anna put away the rest of the food and asked.

   "Wait a second."

  Lu Li lifted the curtain and looked forward, the night brought darkness, but he didn't see the deep and mysterious projection looking over Belfast again.

   Until the darkness completely surrounded, oppressed the light of the oil lamp hanging on the carriage, ominous whispers surged, and Lu Li returned to the carriage.

   Sitting on the blanket laid out by Anna, Anna diffused the aura of her own resentful spirit around, and carefully avoided Lu Li from being affected.

   "There is no weirdness around, and no one is following us." Anna whispered.

   "Maybe in the distance, maybe follow in a way we don't know."

  Lu Li's words made Anna think of a possibility: "If he could hear our conversation and know our plan...or wouldn't he stop you from going to the Lord's Continent?"

   "Better not."

   Lu Li said, this means that their only clear clue has disappeared.

   But maybe he has a special way to sense the location of the land, such as—

  Lu Li's gaze fell to the roof.

  I can see the blood-colored tentacles of others falling from the clouds, if others can too...

   If this is the answer, Lu Li can already lock Richard behind the scenes.

   Covered with a woolen coat, Lu Li quickly fell asleep against the blanket. Anna released her breath mercilessly, expelling all the weirdness that might approach.

   The rustling of the drizzle falling on the roof of the car, the clack of the counter slowly ticking, the vibration of the wheels rolling over the slippery dirt road, the flickering flames of the oil lamps.

   In the quiet midnight, Lu Li woke up several times.

   "Can't you rest well?"

   When Lu Li opened his eyes for the fourth time, Anna asked softly.

  Lu Li looked around, and the existence that had awakened him had faded: "There is a whisper in my ear."

  Anna's scarlet eyes became sharp and Lu Li said, "It's the projection of the inner world."

   It's not a comfortable thing to have someone whisper in your ear while you're sleeping.

   "The way Remy and his sisters said to restore sanity..."

"not now."

  Lu Li closed his eyes again, with a calm tone as if nothing had happened: "Just get used to it."

   Maybe he was getting used to it as Lu Li said, or maybe the whispering stopped temporarily, and when the sky was getting brighter, Lu Li woke up from his deep sleep.

   "Where are we?"

   "Rose Town is in front."

   The drizzle was still falling, and the weather was so cold that one could not wait to put on several layers of clothes.

   Lifting the curtain of the car, Lu Li looked at the gloomy clouds and stared at the sky ahead for a long time.

   "What did you find?" Anna asked softly.

   "The position of the tentacles has changed."

  The blood-colored tentacles hanging from the cloud cover are always distributed on other continents far away from the Ellen Peninsula, and the closest one is also far away from the Lord's Continent.

   Maybe their owners will move, but the distance is too far, like the stars the world has never seen before, it is difficult to observe their movement.

   Now, under the clouds, the position of the blood-colored tentacles of the Lord's Dependent Continent has undergone slight changes, and the tentacles that were once illusory due to the distance have also become solid.

   As if it was already not far from the Ellen Peninsula.

  Anna thoughtful: "That is to say... the one who made you stay is probably related to Richard?"

  Lu Li temporarily left the carriage and looked around at the other two blood-colored tentacles in other directions—or maybe it was an illusion created by the difficulty in discerning directions in the wilderness, but their positions were indeed changing.

   One of the blood-colored tentacles is more solid than that of the Lord's Continent, as if... it has arrived in Belfast.

   "Perhaps." Lu Li whispered.

  The silent town of Rose has appeared ahead.

The shadow of the   Shadow Town incident has passed for two days, and Rose Town, which is the closest to Shadow Town, has not yet been freed from the previous haze atmosphere.

   There are hardly any townspeople going out on the street, and there is still a team of night watchmen stationed in the town to monitor the movements of the southern Shadow Swamp.

  The carriage drove slowly through the streets of Rose Town.

  If that person still contacts Lu Li by sending a letter, Rose Town is his last chance. Further ahead is Shadow Town, which is in ruins, and re-delivery will become very abrupt and suspicious at that time.

  It was only until the carriage passed through Rose Town and the town was gradually left behind, the "Messenger" Lu Li was waiting for still did not appear.

   "There is still a chance." Anna comforted Lu Li, even though she knew that Lu Li didn't need comfort.

   After driving on the dirt road for more than ten minutes, the distant lead-colored land like a sketch, and the ruins of a dilapidated town appeared hazy in the drizzle.

   Not long ago, the center of the whirlpool, Shadow Town.

   As the carriage got closer, more details emerged in the eyes of Lu Li and Anna.

  The exorcists are working on the aftermath of the Shadow Town incident - searching for possible survivors, cultists, searching for contaminants, and burying bodies that could cause the plague.

   "Are we going around Shadow Town?" Ana asked.

"Um."

  Although Anna will be fine by staying by Lu Li's side, but trouble can be avoided.

   Lu Li got out of the carriage wearing a blanket, grabbed the wet and cold reins, and prepared to take another road at the fork in the road 100 meters ahead.

   "The South Shadow Swamp is the territory of the Mother of Swamps, but what about the Northern Swamp." Anna asked, who was near the Mother of Swamps' territory, thinking of something.

   Before Lu Li could answer, there was a gradually clear creaking sound of wheels rolling past behind them.

   A carriage without cargo quickly chased after Lu Li, realizing what was happening, Lu Li pulled the reins, and when it stopped, the brown-haired young man sitting on the carriage shouted to Lu Li, "Are you Lu Li?"

"it's me."

  Lu Li observed the young man, he was wearing a sackcloth coat with patches, and the palm that pulled the reins had a layer of calluses.

   "Someone asked me to give you a letter." The young man said, reaching into his arms to take out the letter.

   At the same time, Anna emerged.

   "Anna."

When   Lu left the mouth, the aura of resentment rushed towards the young man, imprisoning the space around him.

   The immobile young man's eyes widened, struggling and screaming in panic. Anna frowned and gently waved him to shut his mouth.

   Lu Li had a hint of doubt in his eyes, looked away from the young man, lowered his head and opened the letter.

The content of    is almost the same as the letter received on the ship, except that it changed from warning Lu Li not to go to sea to not to leave the Ellen Peninsula.

   looked up, Anna was interrogating the terrified young man, the poor guy was even scared to pee his pants by Anna.

   After a few questions, Anna frowned and looked at Lu Li: "He doesn't seem to be the guy who was hiding..."

"Um."

   This is just an ordinary townsman in Rose Town.

   "You just called me because you found out?" Anna realized something.

   After a slight pause, Lu Li said calmly, "Just so you don't kill him."
