Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 603 One hundred and eighty. The rest of the people

  Whoa——

  The drawn curtains covered the windows on the second floor of the house.

   "How?" York and the old couple looked nervously at Jemini Red.

  Jemini Reid's expression was low: "It's too bad... Some weirdos have disdain to hide their true bodies and shapes."

Although this change doesn't affect them for the time being, it's part of a deteriorating situation - the rules are becoming ineffective, and if you keep going, there will be more and more weirdness that no longer camouflages it, and more weirdness that searches the surrounding buildings. more. Until the rules are completely broken, they recklessly attack all beings that maintain a human appearance.

   "Does it still work for us to pretend to be a clothing store?" Webb asked, which was all they cared about.

   "It's getting smaller and smaller, but we don't have a better choice." Bandits disguised as gentlemen are taking off their false cloaks, but the hyenas will find them wherever they hide.

   "We can ask the dead claw in the wall to help us!" York suggested.

  Jemini Reid was considering whether this method was feasible, when he suddenly saw their eyes look behind him in fear.

   "Hurry up—"

  Webb screamed in panic just remembering that the window behind Jemini Red suddenly shattered, the flying curtains rushed into the room with debris, and there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

  Poof——

   A sharp segment with a dark pattern pierced through Jemini Red's body and protruded from his chest. Jemini Red lowered his head in a daze, and the sudden change made him still not feel the pain.

   The large amount of blood that seeped out quickly soaked through the new clothes, which still smelled of fabric, and a sharp pain suddenly came, and the limb that pierced Jemini Red was bent, hooking him and pulling him out of the window.

The limbs deep in his subconscious made him press against the window frame, as if Jemini Red, who had just woken up from a long sleep, realized his imminent death, and shouted to York and others who were also unresponsive: "York, bring They go to your—"

   The words finally turned into a scream with a long tone. Jemini Red was dragged out of the window forcibly, and he was lying outside the window. The spider-like monster with eight arthropods took him up the eaves.

   "Where I..."

  York suddenly realized what Jemini Reid was talking about, clenched his teeth and rushed out the door: "Everyone follows me..."

  The sharp pain in his chest and the pulling caused by being shaken made Jemini Red extremely painful and sober. He even saw the spilt blood fall on passers-by, who looked up greedily as he climbed up on the roof in his weird clothes.

  Jemini Reid slipped off his arthropod and fell on the edge of the roof. He felt the dying body like a steak on a dinner plate being cut by the swing of a knife and fork.

   Somewhere, Jemini Reid suddenly remembered the prayer-like phrase he heard on the radio in the depths of his consciousness, which he should have long forgotten.

The consciousness that    began to dissipate made him subconsciously follow the whispers in the back of his mind.

   The void trembled gently, indescribable, illusory tentacles that could not be watched hung down from the sky. In a trance, Jemini Red seemed to see a reflection of a royal city in the sky——

  Is this the Upside-Down City that Lu Li saw...

  The phantom tentacles landed on his body that was losing his life. Jemini Red felt that he suddenly had a connection with Upside Down City, and an incomprehensible whisper came into his mind, telling him all the truth before he died.

   "It turns out...that's it..."

   murmured intermittently from the gushing blood, and Jemini Red tilted his head to look down at the street.

   Will they remember me...

   The street downstairs is getting more and more weirdness due to blood gathering. Four or five silhouettes climbed up the wall and approached the roof.

Jemini Red wanted to hug the monster and fall down with him, and distribute the flesh and blood to more monsters, but his strength had already dried up, and he could only hang his arms over the eaves and let the blood spill down his fingertips On the weirdos below.

Before the    consciousness completely disappeared, he saw York and others who were looking up at the door of the clothing store far away.

   They looked at themselves with despair, pain and sadness in their eyes.

they will.

  …

   "I know the story of King Hyena I."

   Opposite Amples Noble Bank is a ready-to-wear shop that specializes in tailoring clothes for the middle class who have interests in the bank.

  Lu Li and Anna stood in front of the window on the second floor, watching the figures pouring into the bank from the street below, as if the order had been restored, they were guests going to the bank for business.

   He has already done what Albert explained to Lu Li. At this time, Albert's voice was echoing over the entire block through the bank broadcast: [Good dogs, you must be starving, come in quickly, your good grandfather has prepared dog food]

   "What did you say?" Lu Li asked.

"The family of King Hyena I was exterminated by the enemy family, and he was the last heir. When the enemy family found him, he betrayed the family's glory and begged for mercy to the enemy family, and offered all the treasures hidden by the family, hoping to survive. down."

"He managed to survive, as a servant. The enemy family would take him wherever they went, put a dog chain around his neck, and say to them 'Look how merciful we are , and allowed him to live and have his own family name'. Of course, everyone knows that this is a threat and mockery of this family, and there is nothing more vain than stomping a former enemy underfoot."

   "The Hyena King I was a slave for seven years. The whole country knew that he was just a despicable, lowly, dignified and honorable inferior person, and then used some methods to make the careless enemy family choose to release him."

"The title of Hyena King I began to manifest later. He kept his name incognito, excavated some jewels hidden when the family was destroyed, bought several cargo ships, hired a group of desperadoes to go to sea with him to loot enemy merchant ships, and finally accumulated enough strength. Killed the enemy family and established a pirate kingdom in the islands southwest of the Lennon Islands."

  What Albert wants to say is in the first half of the story - King Hyena I is powerless to resist the enemy family, can only hide a part of the treasure, and then bow down to offer loyalty and everything he has, including life.

   This corresponds to the choice of the three major organizations.

   They do carry some kind of weird paranoia about the "Tinder" project, as if they knew that weirdness would leave this world someday.

   Of course, it could only be the only hope they could find.

   is like the only white flower that blooms in the dark silt of the dead swamp.

  The three major organizations abandoned most people-including themselves. There is also the practice of actively setting traps to attract weirdness, which is difficult to praise.

   But it is more hopeful that the fire of civilization is left behind than the demise of mankind.

   Down the street, at the entrance of the bank, a strange blood-stained mouth began to come out. Before Lu Li left the window, it was time for them to leave.
