Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 458 Thirty-five. The identity that exists behind the scenes

   "It reappears, I will kill it..." Anna retracted her mental projection and breath, and whispered coldly.

  The exorcists watched from a distance, Lu Li lowered his head and looked at the indelible mark on the back of his hand.

  Scarlet tentacles saved him.

   But it must not be considered that the blood-colored tentacles are harmless. Its essence is still parasitic on Lu Li, and the act of driving away the devil is just to compete for the host.

   In any case, the threat of the devil has been minimized, leaving only the negligible curse of "will appear after Lu Li's death and take his soul".

   At least for Lu Li.

  Anna gradually disappeared, and the exorcists who were sure that the incident had subsided looked at each other, and the night watchman headed up to Lu Li and handed back the investigator badge to Lu Li.

   "The incident is resolved, we can continue on our way." Lu Li took the badge without covering up the inverted pentagram on the back of his hand.

   "The devil's curse... You can try your luck at the church." The night watchman said, asking Lu Li's destination and turning around to maintain order.

  The riot gradually subsided, and the convoy returned to order. Only when passing through the place where the devil once appeared, they would speed through with anxiety.

  In the farewell of the leader of the knight team stationed in Leaves Town, Lu Li left the town and followed the convoy back into the desolate and lonely wilderness.

   After driving for a while, the knights on horses galloped along the convoy, and the shouts resounded in the night sky.

   "A dozen miles ahead is a swamp road, to prevent disturbing the existence of the swamp, and then all vehicles should be quiet and do not make noise!"

  The car curtain is like being blown by the wind, opening a corner.

   Sitting back in the carriage, Anna glanced at the black cat sleeping in the corner, and said to Lu Li, "We're almost on Marsh Road."

"Um."

   "Will the Swamp Mother attack at this time?"

   "Probably not." Lu Li couldn't find the reason why the Swamp Mother who possessed humanity did so.

   Nodding lightly, Anna glanced at the black cat again, and sat on the edge of the carriage, maintaining a state where she could observe the outside world and pay attention to the carriage.

  Anna likes the black cat, but seems reluctant to touch it.

  Lu Li knew the reason, she was worried that her breath would hurt the black cat and herself.

   But so far, Lu Li has no way to let the breath of the inner world no longer penetrate.

  The knights outside the carriage would run by with reminders every once in a while, and half an hour later, the last group of knights passed by with the news that they were about to enter the swamp road.

  People in the convoy consciously lowered their voices and even reduced the brightness of the oil lamps hanging outside the carriage. A few minutes later, the mile-long, doomed convoy quietly entered the swamp road.

  Lu Li sat outside the carriage, his eyes stopped briefly on the dark stone tablet in front of the swamp road.

  【Welcome to Ellen Peninsula】

  【Swamp Road】

   Seems to be a coincidence, or some kind of metaphor, that a chilling drizzle fell shortly after stepping into the Ellen Peninsula.

  Some people with torches on the walls of the carriages put out the torches and replaced them with oil lamps hanging on the walls of the carriages. Only the sound of hoofs and the rustling of drizzle, the hazy motorcade drove slowly on the swampy road.

   Occasionally, a child's light cough came from the carriage ahead. Lu Li looked at the southern shadow swamp, and it was difficult to see the details of the dark jungle with faint outlines, and he couldn't find the gaze of the mother of the swamps hidden in it.

  Swish——

  The umbrella was opened to block the drizzle falling on Lu Li's body. Anna sat beside Lu Li and looked at the Underswamp with him.

   Two hours later, Lu Li left the swamp road in the team position.

   As they left the Swamp Road, the oppressive atmosphere in the convoy dissipated soon, and then they passed the Shadow Town, which had been reduced to ruins.

  The people who couldn't sleep in the carriage lifted the curtains and looked at Shadow Town, which used to be noisy and now only the outline of the dark ruins left in mutilation and destruction, and kept silent.

   At this time, Lu Li returned to the carriage and laid out a blanket to rest.

   It is now less than three hours before dawn, and if the convoy is not delayed on the road, they will arrive in Belfast near noon.

"Good night."

   Anna softly greeted Lu Li and fell asleep.

  …

  The quiet night passed.

  Lu Li opened his eyes, the early morning light spilled into the carriage from outside the curtains, and there was a dark fluffy object curled up beside him.

   "We just passed Shymfast." Anna said to Lu Li who sat up.

   lifted the curtain and walked outside, the gloomy sky did not change, and the carriage with the child in front became an unfamiliar carriage.

The length of the    convoy was reduced a bit, and some carriages left the convoy and headed to the destination of their trip.

   But more people are going to Belfast and leaving the Allen Peninsula from Port Rodster.

  Lu Li looked at the sky ahead again. Under the clouds, two blood-colored tentacles that seemed to be real were swaying in the wind.

   They are not far from the Ellen Peninsula, if not in Belfast.

  …

   Near noon, the convoy arrived in Belfast.

  Loli's carriage left the congested street and headed to the detective agency in the Sailors Quarter for a while.

When    arrived, there was an unexpected figure and a letter waiting for him.

  Anna smiled at the motionless gray sculpture sitting on the sofa: "It doesn't seem to want to stay at the refuge."

  It was stained with a lot of mud, and it was difficult and dangerous to run from the Elm Forest back to Sailor Street.

   "Then take it away."

   Lu Li said, bending over to pick up the letter that was stuffed through the crack of the door.

  The letter does not have a strong perfume smell, and when the Jimmy brothers and sisters have settled on the cliff, Lu Li can't think of anyone who will send him a letter.

   He opened the envelope, and the scribbled, indecipherable letter paper appeared in front of him.

  【You are a **** bastard! 】

  【You did those things before, right? You did it! Ruining my hard work, I really regret that I didn't kill you directly! 】

  【Now, get away from me obediently, don’t ruin my good deeds! Otherwise, I will make you feel a hundred times, a thousand times more pain than you can imagine! You son of a bitch! 】

The content of the    letter can make one imagine the hysteria and embarrassment of the writer at that time.

   "Who sent it?" Anna asked.

   "That's behind the scenes." Lu Li handed the letter to Anna.

  Anna read the letter, with a cold look on her face with a touch of eccentricity: "The person who wrote the letter is like a lunatic..."

   "He was originally a lunatic." Lu Li said.

   Such an obvious hint is enough for Anna to guess: "Is it Richard?"

   "If this letter hadn't deliberately led us in the wrong direction, Richard might be behind it."

   "No wonder he's so furious."

   Lu Li destroyed more than this tentacle.

  Anna threw away the letter, her red pupils flashing: "Since he has been provoked, we will destroy the remaining two tentacles in one go and force him to appear."
