Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 696 Two hundred seventy-three

   She really exists there.

   is not a "door" hallucination, or anything.

   "It turns out that Miss Anna is your companion." The exorcist girl suddenly interrupted Lu Li and Anna's gaze.

  Anna nodded lightly and looked at the girl: "Miss Gullian."

   The girl named Gulian understood, took Elena and asked, "What's wrong with you?" and left the guest room.

  .

  The door closed, and the room returned to silence.

  Anna left the balcony, stepped on the red carpet with snow-white bare feet, stood in front of Lu Li, and said softly with guilt, "I'm sorry...for making you take risks with me."

   "Have you found Aunt Mary?" Lu Li's black eyes returned to calm, as if it was just a hallucination.

  Anna lowered her eyes, the bright red hidden under her eyelashes: "Aunt Mary... has been buried in the cemetery by me."

   She slowly told her own experience: From landing on the west coast, to Leibao, and then to Rotary City, Anna followed the footsteps of strange believers until here, and met Gullian, an exorcist from Cape Storm on the southern coast, and cooperated in the investigation.

  Although Anna pulled out the church members who planned the conspiracy in the revolving city during the quiet time, she failed to save Aunt Mary and could only stay in the revolving city, waiting for Lu Li to arrive.

  Despite the sad results, Anna has an important message.

   "I know the solution to the time of silence from those believers..."

"what."

   Before Anna could answer, Elena pushed in the door, and Gullian, who didn't stop her, looked apologetically.

   "You didn't say that your companion is a ghost." Elena paused for a moment on Anna's illusory body, looked at Lu Li, her tone was not as close as before. "Don't forget your promise."

   "What promise." Anna frowned, as if she didn't like her unreasonable attitude.

   "There is a group of first-dead demons hidden in the lake next to her town. I promise her to help the town solve the weirdness when she finds you."

   "Yes, then come back and do that." Anna replied. She looked at Lu Li tenderly, her eyes filled with undiscoverable heat: "Solve the third calamity."

   Elena doesn't plan to join, she only cares about the people of Helen Town.

  Gulian wants to stay, to exorcise the weirdness that doesn't exist around for the suspicious Viscount Khamis. She watched Anna take Lu Li and Elena into the sky, and disappeared into the western sky as black spots like eagles.

   Elena was afraid of heights.

  She closed her eyes tightly, pursing her lips that had been paled by the wind.

  Ana did not block the wind blowing her with a shield, as if to punish her for being rude to Lu Li. Only after Lu Li reminded her did she block the wind.

  Lu Li and Elena spent less than an hour walking the one hundred and fifty miles in two days.

When    arrived over Helen Town, the sky had not yet darkened.

   "Go down, I'm going to see them," Elena said.

  Without the strong wind, her fear of heights eased a lot.

  Anna led them down outside Helen Town. Elena walked into the town, people were amazed that they came back so early, and at the same time they looked curiously at Anna in the cape.

  The town was safe for two days that Elena and the exorcist left, and no one was attacked.

   "Lu Li found his companions, and they came back to help us."

   Surprisingly, when Elena suggested to the mayor that he could solve the First Death Demon, his attitude was no longer firm.

   "Son, the townspeople have packed their bags, and now you're back... We can leave the town tomorrow."

  The townspeople are ready to leave their hometown.

  There are too many first-dead demons in Guangjingjing Lake, and they have no confidence to destroy them. And the lake is so big that if there are fish that slip through the net, it will not take long for them to become a group again.

   "Back off?"

  Elena's eyes were filled with hatred, and she clenched her spear and made a clucking sound: "Abi Lodge and Giles, Mrs. Gus, Uncle Barton, Missy's death!"

   The mayor sighed and looked at Lu Li in embarrassment.

   "We will help you eliminate the first death demon." Anna's voice suddenly came from under the cloak. "But we don't guarantee that none of them will be left."

   "Enough... Thank you." The mayor said with a sigh of relief.

  The townspeople wanted to follow, but they were all rejected. Only Elena, who was until Anna's true identity, followed them to the Lake of Light Mirrors.

  The lake is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the magnificent World Ridge Mountains covered with snow on the mountainside.

   Quietly staring at the lake, as if a dark fish shadow was swimming in the water far away from the shore.

   Elena knew it wasn't a fish at all.

   "Redemption is given to me, and human nature should not be wasted." Anna already knew about the first death demons, and their ability to create illusions was not worth mentioning to her.

   "The gun will break if it gets into the water." Lu Li said.

   "I forgot..." Anna whispered shyly, taking off her cloak and handing it to Lu Li. "wait for me."

   "Be careful." Lu Li took the cloak.

"Um."

  Anna walked to the pebble beach, passed the wooden boat that ran aground on the shore, stepped on the lake with bare feet, and walked to the depths step by step.

  Lu Li watched, the figure in the white dress on the lake raised his hand, brewing something, and fell gently.

   The next moment, the surface of the lake with a diameter of several hundred meters around her seemed to have an invisible torrential rain, and the lake water boiled violently in the sound of breaking the air, forming wave-like ripples that slapped to the shore.

   walked silently across the lake, and the raging waves surrounded Anna, but it was difficult to affect her like the goddess of the storm.

  Ana's power has grown again.

  Lu Li watched this scene quietly.

   And the reply from the Demon Slayer Association never came.

   A few minutes later, Anna, who had been wreaking havoc, returned. Only the muddy, chaotic, mirror-smooth lake behind him remains.

   "I found something in the center of the lake." Anna looked at Lu Li. "Do you want to come and see?"

"Um."

  Lu Li grabbed Anna's outstretched hand and was taken to the center of the lake.

  Anna's power repelled the surrounding turbid lake water, revealing the bottom of the lake a hundred meters below: a craggy reef and caves in a group of reefs.

   "This is their lair." Anna took the oil lamp in Lu Li's hand, lit it, and led Lu Li down into the lake.

  The turbid lake water surging around, Lu Li lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the reef cave that was getting closer and closer.

   Reaching the bottom of the lake, Anna raised her oil lamp and approached the cave.

  Some human bones were scattered around the cave, and as Anna approached, more bones emerged from it, almost filling the cave.

  The merchant didn't say that the First Dead Demon had the habit of collecting human bones.

   There were hundreds, or even thousands, of bones piled up in the cave. Those who had been on the same boat with Lu Li, as well as Emin's bones were among them.

   "There should be some first-dead demons who survived, but most of them have been resolved." Ana said at this time.

  Lu Li nodded lightly: "Go back."

   Leaving the darkened bottom of the lake, they landed on the shore, and returned to Helen with Elena.

   The crisis at Guangjing Lake was resolved, and the townspeople discussed again whether to leave.

   But this has nothing to do with Lu Li and Anna. Fulfilling their promise, the gradually darkening sky walked out of the town.

   Elena said goodbye to the townspeople soon after, saying that she was going to help Lu Li and walked into the wilderness alone.
