Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 682 Two hundred and fifty nine. Dissolving in his brilliance

   The exorcist already had the appearance of a cork in his mind.

   "So did you see the root of the plant? Is it a seed?" the exorcist asked.

   "There are no seeds. You can understand that his body is a seed, and it can grow and sprout from anywhere." The doctor grabbed the cotton, wiped the blood from the mask, and used a scalpel to pick up a cut piece of meat.

  The thin veins on the surface of the meat block are like blood vessels. The doctor picks them up with tweezers and peels off a piece of cobweb-like veins from the flesh.

  The doctor put it in clean water to rinse off the blood. Without the blood-stained package, the original veins are more like the roots of plants.

   "This is the withered root of the plant, which grows directly inside the flesh."

   "There are no seeds... so isn't it parasitic?" the exorcist whispered to himself.

   If flesh and blood are seeds and fertile soil, it looks more like some kind of curse.

   "Dissect the roots of other parts." Lu Li said.

   "Of course, an example doesn't explain much," approved the doctor, who liked the more professional opinion.

   After a few minutes, the doctor peeled off several pieces of root system, some withered and almost fibrotic, and some were so active that you could hear the pulse in the root system.

   But without exception, no traces of seeds were found.

   "It seems to be a curse... so only the locals are infected." The exorcist said complicatedly.

  Although the reason was figured out, only the reason was figured out. They still don't know how to break the curse.

   "Is he dead?" Lu Li looked at the retreating doctor.

   "There are still a few minutes." The doctor who was about to take off the mask stopped. "What else are you doing?"

   "It's something else." Lu Li asked the exorcist again, "What crime did he commit?"

  The exorcist was silent for a moment before he said, "I know that I raped a nine-year-old girl after contracting the plague. Do you still remember little Lina who gave you candy?"

   Pure evil can be compared to the weird.

  Lu Li lowered his eyes, stretched out his gun holster, and said calmly, "My psychic gun is called redemption, and its ability is to recall death, to see the weird before death."

   "If a patient dies of a curse when infected, I will see what he sees."

   "He's a scum, so please feel free." The exorcist had no objection, and was even happy to see the **** judged.

  Lu Li picked up the holster. But there was a sound of falling before and after pulling out the psychic gun.

  Emin collapsed to the ground, the mask covered with mist covering his face.

"What's up with her?!"

   The exorcist immediately backed up to the wall and distanced himself from the hospital bed.

  Lu Li also suddenly pulled out his psychic gun and sensed his surroundings.

  The quiet and silent room suddenly seemed to be crowded with "people", and prying eyes were everywhere. On the ceiling, from under the bed, between the doors, even in the pockets of clothes.

   But there is no weirdness hiding around, save for the infected in the hospital bed.

   The psychic gun retracted its holster, the noisy gaze gradually faded away, and the ward became quiet again, with just the few of them.

   "No weirdness."

  Lu Li walked towards Amin, took off her mask, and touched her neck with her fingers.

   The pulse was still beating, and Emin's cheeks were pale.

   "Maybe it's blood dizzy, or the mask is too stuffy." came the doctor's voice.

  Lu Li nodded and lifted Emin to the chair with the exorcist. The psychic gun was pulled out again, and the familiar sense of peeping and whispering emerged.

   extended his arm, Lu Li pulled the trigger at the infected person without pausing.

boom!

   A loud noise that couldn't be stopped even if he covered his ears echoed in the room.

   The figure on the hospital bed exploded with blood in the chest, and Lu Li also entered the death retrospect in an instant.

   "Maybe it's blood dizzy, or the mask is too stuffy." The doctor's voice came from behind. Lu Li turned his head and saw that he helped Amin into the chair.

  The infected are always alive...

  Lu Li thought, watching himself raise his psychic gun from the perspective of a bystander.

   The man on the hospital bed suddenly turned his head and stared at Lu Li viciously. The next moment the gunshot rang, consciousness returned to reality.

  Humanity poured into his soul, Lu Li silently put away his psychic gun. But I don't know if it's an illusion, they seem to be closer than before.

  Emin seemed to be awakened by the sound of gunfire and was slowly waking up.

   "I suddenly felt dizzy just now... I'm sorry." She rubbed the back of her head, which was hurting from the fall, where a bag bulged.

   "Is there any gain?" the exorcist asked with anticipation.

   "The infected are always alive." Lu Li said.

   "Isn't it possible..." The exorcist sighed.

   They were almost used to failure, and success was as scarce as surprise: "Let's go, maybe someone else got a message from Tavi."

   After getting the news from Lu Li, the city lord sent a team of exorcists to investigate, and they should have returned.

  Hopefully good news.

   They left the room and went back to the lobby on the first floor.

   The exorcist who went to Tavi has returned. They didn't bring back the good news, and they didn't bring back the bad: the eccentric cultists gathered empty, the ground was littered with footprints, and they left.

  The clue is interrupted again.

  The only thing waiting for Lu Li is to go to Tawi Town in person.

   The exorcist suggested Lu Li at this time to use "salvation" to free the infection, or the longest-cursed patient.

   If she is dead, you can see why she died. If she's alive... it's a pain for her to be alive.

   Back in the ward on the second floor, little Lina with long brown hair cuddled up on the hospital bed, and even the buds growing out of her forehead looked much cuter.

  Whoa——

   The exorcist lifted the curtain, and the terrifying scene reappeared.

   He stepped back and looked at Lu Li.

   This seems to be a moral conundrum: when a suffering person wants to die, should he be rescued or relieved?

   The roots hanging down from the edge of the hospital bed swayed gently like seaweed, quietly reaching Lu Li beside the hospital bed.

   "Don't be touched by them."

  Emin reminded. The words fell, and the oil lamp that Lu Li was carrying suddenly glowed faintly.

   It is dimmer than a match that is about to go out, but it is inexplicably reassuring, as if bathed in sunlight.

   And the root system that was quietly climbing up the oil lamp quickly withered and broke, fell on the floor, and shattered into several pieces.

  Seeing this scene, Lu Li suddenly raised the oil lamp, stretched out his arm, and brought the oil lamp close to the hospital bed.

   The crawling roots are like earthworms, slowly rushing towards the oil lamp, or the arm.

   They are intertwined, stretched longer and longer, to catch the oil lamp shade.

  The oil lamp was lit again, like a firefly, flickering on and off.

   The exorcist saw that Emin was retreating, and he kept retreating, even if the light made him feel extremely relaxed and safe.

  The withered and dead roots fell off in pieces, while the roots on the other side were still crawling in a twisted and ugly way.

   "What happened?" the exorcist couldn't help asking.

  Many patients on the second floor were attracted by the light and looked here curiously.

   Lu Li in front of the hospital bed quietly watched this scene and said, "It's called a lighthouse. The light will dispel the weirdness, and the price will be to burn humanity."
