Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 494 Seventy-one. Going to sea

The presence behind the    touch is like a cold rock, neither moving nor breathing.

   Holds Redemption's holster with his right hand and touches his back with the other.

  Icy and rough to the touch, without ups and downs, like a dead thing.

   is just a grey reef standing under the wooden house, and the shape is not reminiscent of any monsters.

  Lu Li looked at the wooden steps again, because of his previous caution, the existence in front of the door was not disturbed. But he felt something different.

   The knock on the door has not been heard for a long time.

   Lu Li reached out and grabbed a stone from the reef, and threw it into the wooden house along the open window above.

  Bone Lulu——

   There was a sound of rolling stones on the floor above your head, and with the movement in the wooden house, there was a slight change in the presence in front of the door.

  Squeak--sand--

   The same sound as Lu Li pushed open the wooden door rang out.

   crunch - crunch -

  The floor squeaked with the presence of the floor.

   That being entered the wooden house.

   Hesitating slightly, Lu Li under the floor turned down the light of the oil lamp, only letting it barely illuminate the whole body, and lowered his head to pay attention to the gravel under his feet and prepare to stay away from the wooden house.

   A small piece of blood-clotted gravel caught Lu Li's gaze, paused for a while, and Lu Li turned his head to look around.

   He saw blood extending from under the hut to the shoreline, gradually becoming invisible. And more than ten meters away from the direction of the blood, a wooden boat was buckled upside down on the beach.

Next to the    wooden boat there is a prominent trail, extending into the sea.

  Lili seemed to see that a few minutes ago, Richard dragged the wooden boat into shallow water, clumsily overturned the wooden boat, grabbed the oars and sailed into the boundless gloomy deep sea.

   Looking up at the gap between the boards, Lu Li slowly backed away from the wooden house, avoiding the window and approaching the upside-down wooden boat.

   The existence with a strong fishy smell was still lingering in the wooden house, and Lu Li had enough time to turn the wooden boat over and push it to the shallow sea.

   overturned the small wooden boat, Lu Li took off his shoes and threw them into the boat, rolled up his trousers, and pushed the wooden boat closer to the coastline.

  The icy tide surged in, passed around the ankle, and took away a trace of warmth as it faded.

   Walk to the shallow water where the calf is submerged and the wooden boat is fully floated.

   The tide submerging his knees receded, and Lu Li looked at the deep sea, hesitating for the first time.

   Are you really going to leave the Darkshore and enter the deep sea?

   Is it worth it to take risks in order to solve the **** tentacles?

   Lu Li did not know where the wooden boat would take him after he left. Is it Richard's trace, or the truth, or the place where life ends?

   But Richard knew. That's why he came for this, so he boarded a wooden boat and entered the deep sea without hesitation.

   Or the wooden boat is just a trap, Richard is just faking the illusion of going out to sea, maybe on the coastline hundreds of meters away, there is an unowned wooden boat stranded before the tide.

   Maybe he felt Lu Li's hesitation, or maybe Lu Li stared at the deep sea for too long. The indescribable obscure consciousness, like invisible tentacles that cannot be seen, gently wraps around Lu Li.

  In the deep sea, an indescribable existence is calling for Lu Li.

   That consciousness, that existence restrained all its malice as much as possible, otherwise Lu Li might go mad because of a trace of malice emanating from that undisguised consciousness.

  Lu Li thought of "the body of an ancient god", was it the so-called "ancient god" who called him?

   Anyway, with the guidance of the call, Lu Li doesn't seem to need to worry about getting lost in the dark and deep sea.

   He is not all disadvantaged, at least one point, he and Richard are on the same starting line.

   on "Ownership of the Body of the Ancient Gods".

  Suddenly, a hoarse, high-pitched sound like the noise of a broken record player rang from the beach.

  Lu Li retracted his gaze towards the deep sea, and looked in the direction of the wooden house where the sound came from——

   A figure stands in a place where the tide cannot reach. It looks like a human being, but every detail is completely different from a human being.

   Its head looks like the most terrifying piranha head, and its dark green body is similar to that of a human, but its palms and feet are webs only found in fish.

   The gills on the cheeks, the raised round eyes, the eyes that cannot be closed, the slippery body and the scales all suggest that this creature lives in the sea.

   This murloc's hideous head has humanized emotions that are usually only found in humans, lying on the beach, like a frog, more like a prayer believer.

   Murlocs apparently possess a certain intelligence, and it is even possible that the group has a language.

  Lu Li realized something, looked down at the wooden boat that wouldn't float away, and suddenly drifted towards the murloc.

   At first the murloc did not change, but when Lu Li approached it within a dozen meters, it suddenly got up uneasy, let out a hoarse roar and stepped back.

  Lu Li stopped, and the murloc no longer retreated, kneeling on the beach again.

   It doesn't seem to want Lu Li to get too close.

   Looking at the murloc whose head was buried deep in the sand, Lu Li continued to walk towards it.

  The murloc got up and stepped back, and made another cry, but this time the voice was sharp and clear, full of panic and irritability.

  It has a contradictory awe and fear of Lu Li, but it also carries a hint of innate hostility to humans.

   Realizing that getting closer to it might cause it to lose control and attack him, Lu Li stopped forcing the murloc, took a deep look at it, and turned towards the wooden boat.

   Behind him, the murlocs were lying on the beach and murmured in a unique language. Lu Li stepped onto the wooden boat without hesitation.

   As if it had life, the wooden boat floating in the shallow sea automatically set sail and sailed to the boundless deep underground sea.

  …

  Lu Li still did not appear.

  The flames completely enveloped the insane asylum. Fortunately, the plants have long ceased to grow, and the fire is difficult to spread outward. Only a few dead trees too close to the insane asylum were ignited by the high temperature.

   In front of the firewood house, Anna anxiously waited for Lu Li to return.

   At the same time, a trace of doubt appeared in my heart.

   It has been nearly half an hour since the black smoke first rose, but the police officer never appeared.

  Shouwang Town is only a few miles away from the lunatic asylum. Even if the people who come here are on foot, they should have arrived long ago...

  …

  Watch Town.

  Since the Lennon Islands immigration boom, this town backed by Belfast has no longer been quiet.

  The hustle and bustle has become the endorsement of this place, and thousands of guests from all over the town pass through and stay in the town every day.

​​​

   But at this time, what was surging in Watching Town was not hustle and bustle, but chaos.

  People gathered in the streets, staring blankly at the top of Mount Sugard.

   What they were looking at was not the aristocratic manor that could be vaguely seen at the top of the mountain, but the crowd of people running and screaming from the other side of the mountain.

   They are like ant colonies that have been washed away and homeless.

   In this scene, the thick smoke rising from a few miles away became insignificant.

   On the street, the palm of a woodcutter holding the axe became trembling, and the terrible guess pressed his nerves, murmured: "Why... what happened... What happened to Belfast..."
