Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 492 Sixty-ninth. The channel extending down

  The stab injury seemed to be serious, and Richard kept screaming while holding his right foot.

   "You are not trustworthy!"

  Richard's screams were mixed with angry accusations: "You should find me in an upright manner, instead of forcing me to come out by such subpar methods!"

  Lu Li watched Richard, who was covered in dust, struggling to get up: "I don't need it for you."

   "Heh... the arrogance of the victor." Richard sneered and raised his head slowly, the blood mixed with the dust made his face hideous: "But do you really think you won?"

   He limped around, but not towards Lu Li, but to the side of the garden.

   There is an abandoned wood room, or a utility room.

   "You dare not kill me, you still want to know the way to get rid of the body of the ancient **** from me, you can only watch me leave here with your own eyes."

  Lu Li moved his palm away from the holster.

   As Richard said, if Lu Li wants to get rid of the **** tentacles, he needs a living Richard.

   "Cough—bah!"

  Richard spat out blood at Lu Li, but it only landed half a meter in front of him. He raised his hand and put it into his mouth, screamed to pull out the moving tooth, raised it frantically and laughed at Lu Li: "You and your ghostly little girlfriend can't do anything!"

   The madhouse with smoke and fire behind him made him look like a lunatic.

   Although he was.

"you're right."

   Lu Li said, holding Sequence 2 at Richard's legs and pulling the trigger.

boom!

   Along with the deafening gunshots, Richard screamed and fell to the ground hugging his calf.

   He was very afraid of pain, and the screams almost drowned out the crackling of the burning insane asylum and the sound of the wind blowing up from the fire behind him.

   "You can continue to shoot!" Richard yelled at Lu Li, whose mouth was full of blood, and his cheeks twitched with pain kept throwing blood: "But don't think I'll tell you everything!"

  Richard's threat worked, Lu Li put away Sequence 2 and didn't shoot Richard again.

   Uncontrollable Richard could do anything.

  Richard grinned, stood up again holding his legs, and moved step by step to the firewood house more than ten meters away: "You won the first half, but I will dominate the second half!"

   "What do you want to do?" Lu Li looked at him calmly.

   "I'm not like you, a despicable, inferior, shameless thief, a robber who steals the master's finances. You... hu... You want to get the body of the ancient god? Want to know the truth?"

  Richard, who moved to the door of the firewood room, stopped against the wooden wall and opened the wooden door tremblingly.

   Lu Li couldn't see the situation behind the door, so he could only see Richard taking off the oil lamp behind the door and lighting it, then turned to look at himself.

   "Come down in person, I will wait for you in the abyss."

   left a message, and Richard's figure disappeared from the space behind the door.

  Lu Li walked to the firewood room and pulled open the half-closed door.

   The cramped woodshed is full of clutter, but that's not the point. There is a damp and cold step extending down, and at the end more than ten meters away, there is a faint light of an oil lamp shaking.

   A moist breeze like the sea breeze blew from under the steps, which made Lu Li think of the third passage he saw during the second test.

   Here is the third test passage.

   is the same as the situation in the previous cabin, Anna can see it, but can't get involved in it.

   "You stay."

  Lu Li said to Anna, shaking the oil lamp.

   There is still more than half of the kerosene, enough to last more than six hours.

   "This may be Richard's trap." Anna whispered.

   "But it's also the best chance to deal with Scarlet Tentacles."

  The source of the ancient god's body, Richard's purpose, and how to get rid of the **** tentacles.

  The fire has spread to the second floor of the insane asylum, and the terrifying black smoke almost enveloped the entire sky.

   Before leaving, Lu Li said to Anna, "Hide. If the police find you after you arrive, show up and tell them what happened, and don't argue."

  Anna quietly stared at Lu Li's black eyes, which reflected her own figure.

   "Return safely."

"Um."

While   Anna watched, Lu Li walked into the passage with an oil lamp.

   This time, the channel runs straight down and there are no corners blocking the view.

   Strangely, Richard, who was only twenty meters in front of Lu Li before, disappeared, and seemed to have reached further down.

   What is even more strange is the uneven stone steps. Every time you go down, the steps will be a few centimeters higher than the previous one. After only going down a dozen floors, Lu Li had to face the steps with a drop of half a meter.

   stopped for a short while and looked back towards the way he came from. At the end of the steps, there was a vague silhouette waiting for him.

   Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Li continued to move down.

   As you go down, the passage becomes more damp, the oil lamps glow, and the rough walls reflect back to the water stains. Shadow cast a large shadow behind him, shaking.

   Like a pitch black figure twitching.

  After two minutes, the drop between the steps became one meter.

   After the drop exceeded one meter, Lu Li's movement became more and more difficult. Now every time he goes down the stairs, he needs to put the oil lamp beside him, and grab the edge of the steps with both hands and put his body down.

   This ever-increasing distance can’t help but make people terrified to think, whether after reaching a certain level, they will find that they can’t turn back and can only continue down?

   There is no admonition or change on the wall. The third test seems to be just a passage that continues to extend downwards, with an increasing drop.

  Because it goes deep into the ground, the surrounding temperature is gradually decreasing.

   A layer of goose bumps appeared on his bare neck.

boom--

  Lu Li released his hand and landed on the next step.

  The echo of the falling sole travels far.

  Lu Li stood on tiptoe, reached out to hold the bottom of the oil lamp and shook it down.

  The high steps are like a stone wall. Blocks the view looking up.

   He could no longer see the way he came, nor the figure waiting at the starting point on the ground.

   Looking down again, as the steps become higher, the steps also become longer, as if they were not prepared for humans, but a larger existence.

   But the passage is still narrow.

   The intermittent blood on the steps told Lu Li that Richard was still moving down.

  Lu Li continued to descend. When the drop exceeded two meters, he had to bite the handle of the oil lamp with his mouth to prevent the oil lamp from being lost on the upper steps.

   He didn't look back, because there was no point anymore, the height of the steps at this time had already exceeded his ability to go back the same way, and now he could only continue down, hoping that the passage would end.

   At least as far as he can get.

  After the steps exceeded two meters, it took Lu Li dozens of seconds each time he went down, and the soles of his feet became more and more painful as they kept falling.

   At a certain moment, Lu Li, who was standing beside the high wall-like steps, suddenly held his breath and listened intently.

   Heartbeat fills the channel, throbbing faintly over time, then disappearing.

   Gradually, a voice came from the darkness like an abyss.
