Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 487 Sixty-four. Richard's Purpose

  The old man swings a shovel and digs soil in the cemetery.

The   oil lamp was placed under the tree beside him, and his name was engraved on the tombstone lying beside the soft mound: Acheson Rodney.

   I don't know if Acheson Rodney was the old man's name or the name of someone the old man knew.

   Anyway, this tomb was not prepared for Lu Li.

   Feeling the approach, the old man paused and said slowly, "Please wait a moment... It will be dug soon."

   The excavation was almost over, and the shoveled hole could barely accommodate one person.

  Lu Li held the oil lamp that dispelled the fog, and his eyes fell on the back of the old man. Occasionally, he raised it slightly to look at the blood-colored tentacles hanging above his head.

  Wow——

   The last shovel of soil fell on the mound, and the old man inserted the shovel into the soil and leaned on it like a cane: "This thing is not all bad, at least I still have the strength to dig a grave for myself."

  The old man turned to face Lu Li - no terrible scene emerged, the old face showed that he was just an ordinary old man.

   "You knew I was coming?" Lu Li said, the old man's reaction seemed to be waiting here for a long time.

  The old man seemed to answer the question: "I know you, the one who competes with Richard for the body of the ancient god."

   He really knew something.

   "I've been investigating him, please tell me what you know."

   "Of course..." The rare thing is that the host is finally willing to tell everything. The old man smiled kindly and said, "I'm very happy that I can still have young people talking with me before I die."

  The old man's name was Acheson Rodney, the name written on the tombstone.

   The people of the Kingdom of Dawn on the mainland.

  Before everything happened, he was just a father of two children in the suburban countryside, living a peaceful life.

  Richard ruined everything.

   Acheson Rodney was not Richard's first choice, he was too old to walk with a cane. But the result was as Lu Li saw: the old man became the host of the blood-colored tentacles.

  The old man would rather wish that Richard's original goal was himself, so that his two sons would not die in vain, and nothing can make a father more desperate than learning about the death of his own children.

  Without funerals and ceremonies, the lonely old man took his son's body to a clearing outside the forest, where the village buried the dead. When he was out of breath, he dug a hole in the earth and carried his son's body into the grave one by one, and the mutation appeared.

The    excavated dirt pit turned into a staircase that continued to extend downward, and blood-red lightning-like tentacles drilled out of the son's corpse and slid into the old man's forehead.

   Acheson Rodney told Lu Li that Richard appeared at this moment, and said to himself who was lying on the ground in surprise, "I didn't expect it to choose you..."

The old man couldn't understand what he meant, but his instinct told him that this man with a nervous smile was the culprit - he wanted revenge, but he was too old to watch Richard pick up the shovel and shovel it. Dirt spilled into the grave.

   extended downwards, the blood-colored ladder seemed to have an invisible barrier, his two sons fell on it, and the dirt also fell on it.

  Richard told him something while shoveling earth and burying the corpse and stairs of the old man's son.

   For example, the death of the old man's son was indeed caused by him, such as the purpose of his doing it.

  Although he didn't understand why the evil guy was willing to tell himself the plan, the old man tried to write down every word he said.

   Now, what he remembered has a place.

"As you guessed, I did their deaths. Don't look at me with such hateful eyes, how could a mortal like you understand the actions of a god... Don't you understand? Look at this The cloud that has never dissipated! This hopeless world is about to be shrouded in hope, and human beings who are as weak as ants are foolish to talk about survival!”

  The old man recounted what Richard had said. He did not intend to imitate the tone, but the words still reminded people of the man shouting madly.

"You don't know what you're about to face, and I...have the body of the ancient gods to protect everyone under their watch! Huh? Evil? No, it's not evil, great birth is often accompanied by sacrifice , this is the inevitable way, and you should be happy for your sons, because they died for their gods..."

   After repeating what Richard had said, the old man felt depressed for a long time before continuing to speak.

  The tomb has been completely buried, and only the soft mounds of different colors from the surrounding ground are left to tell everything that happened and was buried.

  The shovel was thrown back to the old man by Richard. He finally told the old man that he would contact the old man after a while. The old man who received the letter would go to the Ellen Peninsula to welcome the coming of God.

   After saying this, Richard turned to leave.

   became the host of the blood-colored tentacles, and the old man's body gradually underwent some changes. For example, his physical strength has improved a lot. Although he is not like a strong man, he is no longer an old man who needs a cane.

   There are also blood-colored tentacles hanging down from the depths of the clouds and falling into the top of the head.

   Not only himself, he also saw many blood-colored tentacles scattered everywhere.

   There are especially many tentacles in the southeast direction—the old man knows, those are all on the Ellen Peninsula.

   Every day, the old man observes these seaweed-like blood-colored tentacles that are tens of miles long. Occasionally, new blood-colored tentacles appear, and occasionally old blood-colored tentacles disappear. But one day, he observed that the blood-colored tentacles were disappearing at an extremely fast speed, and they were all tentacles in the direction of the Ellen Peninsula.

   He guessed who was dealing with them, and the old man was ready, but after all the blood-colored tentacles on the Ellen Peninsula disappeared, the changes fell silent.

  Three days ago, when Lu Li was about to go to the Lennon Islands, the old man received a letter from Richard.

   In the letter, Richard told the old man that God was about to revive, and only by going to the Ellen Peninsula could he be saved from death.

  The old man decided to go, for revenge.

   He took everything he could with him, including the shovel that buried his two sons, and drove to the nearby port of Barnard's Forest for a boat ride to Rodster port on the Ellen Peninsula.

   On the way of sailing, the old man on the boat saw that the last **** tentacles in the direction of the Ellen Peninsula disappeared. This scene pleased the old man, and the man must have started to act again.

   He never believed in the "God" in Richard's mouth. God should protect the world, not kill.

   And since that person is preventing everything, then he is his friend.

   Two days later, the old man boarded the port of Rhodes. Belfast on the coast is a completely different scenery from the inland. He had no intention of hanging out and temporarily stayed in a hotel near the church.

  The night shrouded in strange fog, the old man faintly felt his impending death. So in the early morning, he took the tombstone that had been carved on the boat and came to the cemetery to dig a grave for himself. At the same time waiting for Richard to arrive, or the one who confronts Richard.

Land from.
