Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 732 Twenty-three. Eyeless people

   Katarina's nasty teasing didn't last long.

   The sudden light of the church in the distance was blown by the wind in the field.

   The light of the giant torch radiates, even illuminating the edge of the town.

   "Damn, why is this time!" This scene made Katerina curse in a low voice.

   "What is it." Lu Li observed the torch and seemed to feel the heat of the fire.

   "Disaster..." Katarina looked south. "Light Stealer."

   A mass of shadowy silhouettes as majestic as a mountain is rising from the depths of the wilderness.

   "It will crush the sky at the last moment of dusk, and then last for several days and nights." Katerina's tone was pessimistic.

  The wilderness will become extremely dangerous in the eternal night, the safe zone will shrink over time, and even the most experienced hunter will not rush out of the town in the eternal night.

   Waiting for Eternal Night to pass is the only way, but Katarina is in big trouble: she can't support Lu Li.

  Pure-bred humans are very strict with food, and only foods with low levels of contamination can keep them pure. And even the cheapest brown bread of low-polluting food costs nearly thirty shillings a pound, not to mention clean water, which isn't much cheaper.

   Katarina's entire deposit plus Lu Li's money from selling the weird currency is only enough to survive for three days. Once the Eternal Night exceeds three days, Lu Li can only go to Midnight City hungry.

   Maybe it’s time to put away greed and choose to “shot” Lu Li in Tangge Town. The church is not interested in pure human beings, then try the mayor again, or a noble businessman.

   "If you sell to someone who will send me to Midnight City, yes."

  Lu Li calmly faced that he was resold as goods.

   After all, their cooperation was built for profit.

   Being pierced by Lu Li, Katerina shook her head in embarrassment and replied, "I wouldn't do that..."

  Lu Li was noncommittal, waiting for Katerina to make a decision.

   In the southern sky, the pitch-black silhouette was creeping and climbing, as if black mountains were rising from the earth.

   Katarina is still struggling with what to do.

   If she doesn't say pure human beings, she is not qualified to meet the mayor. But if you say it, you may be robbed of part of the income by greedy guards or housekeepers, or even Lu Li.

  Waiting for the Eternal Night to pass is the stupidest idea, who knows how long the Eternal Night will last? Pollution is everywhere, maybe a certain meal, a certain drink, or even a certain breath may make Lu Li no longer pure.

   At that time, Lu Li will be worthless.

   Hire hunters who are familiar with the route? Katarina can't find a hunter she can trust. Lie and betrayal are the rules among hunters.

   "Let's go!"

   The words squeezed out of the seam sounded, and Katarina's fierce eyes were like a gambler: "There are still five hours before the night will come, let's go quickly before we reach Leviathan Town!"

  Leviathan Town is the penultimate destination of the road map, and further ahead is the ghost town that can go directly to Midnight City from the old sewers.

   As long as she arrives at Leviathan Town, Katarina will have a new option - discussing the sale of Lu Li with the local church and the town mayor.

   So people in the wilderness returned to the town one after another, and Lu Li and Katarina went upstream. Some hunters recognized Katarina and watched them walk out of town from a short distance away.

   "The Lightstealer is coming." The guard reminded casually.

   "I know." Katerina replied as she walked towards the wilderness.

The    guard said nothing, perhaps thinking that Katarina would come back before Eternal Night, perhaps not caring about a hunter's life or death.

   At first, Lu Li could see people returning to the town one after another, but as he moved away from the town, the figures began to become rare. Looking back, the fire in the town is like a beacon that guides the direction.

   They walked for nearly ten miles in relative ease, reaching the boundary between the safe zone and the real wilderness, and Katarina began to slow down.

   Because some creepy outlines are in the way.

  Lu Li thought Katarina would stop, but she went straight forward, as if she couldn't see the creeping shadows - she could see them, but somehow ignored them.

   "Eyeless people... a group of pathetic people." Katerina commented calmly.

The crawling shadows were close enough for Lu Li to observe more details: the crawling shadows had the same body structure as humans, and some were hung with ragged and broken fabrics, but most of them were not wearing anything, only the ones that covered their bodies. Dusty dirt.

   Their thin bodies are like stick insects, and there are no eyeballs in their empty eye sockets, but except for the eye sockets, they are covered with eyeballs everywhere.

   The eyeballs covering the entire body are as distinct as if they really exist. Only the folds caused by the pulling of the skin when the strange figure crawls shows that the eyeballs are not real.

   "They are human?" Lu Li noticed that Katerina used human to describe them.

"Well, people with low sanity will see the projection of the inner world. Some cowards gouged out their eyes, but the influence of the inner world has not disappeared, and because they were driven out of Tangge Town as self-mutilation, they can only survive in a harsh marginal environment Over time, they become this kind of thing."

   Katerina's tone was sympathetic and contemptuous: "Although the pollution is serious and can turn into a xenogeneic at any time, they are just like us."

   "Aren't they going to attack us?" Lu Li asked.

   Katarina nodded and said, "Because they can't see them and long for company. That sounds ironic... They are more united and trusting of each other than we are."

   "But they are approaching us." Lu Li said.

   Katarina was slightly startled, looked around, and found that as Lu Li said, the blind people were gradually approaching and surrounding them.

   "Don't attack..." Katarina just reminded Lu Li.

   From the first day she became a hunter, Katarina knew the harmlessness of blind people. She has also never heard of a sightless person attacking a human being.

The   The Eyeless didn't show any intention of attack either, they gathered around Lu Li and Katarina, or... around Lu Li.

Katarina next to    was ignored by them.

   "Why..." Katerina asked in confusion.

   "Let's continue on our way." Lu Li said, he knew what attracted Wumu Ren.

   Avoiding the eyeless crowd that followed, Lu Li and Katarina officially stepped into the wilderness that seemed to echo with whispers.

The blind crowd behind    was hovering at the dividing line, daring not to follow.

   "How did you do it?" Katarina couldn't help asking.

   "Maybe he smelled my breath." Lu Li replied.

   Katarina was about to say that the blind person is not sensitive to smell, but immediately remembered that Lu Li's "smell" refers to sensation.

   Eyeless people are a group of people who are seriously polluted and lost, but they yearn for hope and light.

   And Lu Li is the purest human being.

   An unspeakable emotion choked in Katarina's heart. She had been struggling to survive since birth and couldn't understand what it was, but it touched Katarina's heart because it never appeared.

   looked at Lu Li, he was looking south.

  The silhouette of the Lightstealer was revealed more than half an hour ago, and the dark withered claws, like mountains, were reaching out to the sky little by little.
