Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 752 Forty-three. Escape

   Stepping on the dark second floor with fluorite lamps hanging, Purse's screams pointed the direction, but the voice became faint.

  嘭——

   Lu Li hit the door panel. A bloated, toad-like alien species was eating.

   Its head was many times larger than that of a human being, and poor Physius had only two hind legs left outside his mouth.

  The intrusion of the uninvited guest made it speed up to swallow Purseus, and the weakly kicked hind legs almost disappeared in the mouth.

   Before Pusius slid into his stomach, Lu Li rushed towards the alien, clenched his left fist tightly, and fell heavily on the belly of the alien.

   The disgusting fat ripples, and the dense pimples on the Inhuman's back spurt thick venom.

  vomit——

The    heavy blow made the xenomorph open his mouth and gag, and the hind legs of Purseus emerged from the depths of his throat.

  Lu Li reached into the Inhuman's mouth, grabbed Pusius' hind legs and pulled it out.

  Plop—

   "I'm holding it! I'm holding it!"

   landed on the floor, and the mucus-covered Purse shouted as he held up his companions.

   Katarina sympathetically paused on it for a moment, then rushed to Lu Li's side, holding the needle-like homolog between her fingers and piercing the alien eyeball.

   The alien opened its mouth and howled, Katarina grabbed the fluorite lamp and stuffed it into its wide mouth, poked it into its throat, and blocked all sound.

   But the homologous thing didn't do enough damage to the alien species. Katarina was about to pull out the dagger to deal with it. Lu Li stretched out her left hand and pressed it on the alien species' chest.

   The deformed and bloated body trembled violently, and Katarina almost couldn't suppress the alien species. After more than ten seconds, its struggle weakened, and the ominous black vertical pupils were covered with gray mist, and they fell into the bed covered with back venom.

  Humanity poured into his body, and Lu Li retracted his palm.

   "It's dead."

   This alien species only possesses the most basic human nature, and Lu Li needs to deal with dozens of them in order to add a piece of human nature.

  The cautious Katarina did not let go. She waited for more than ten seconds to confirm that the alien species was indeed dead, and pulled out the homologous thing and inserted it back into her eyes.

   Lu Li looked at Purseus.

   The green face was sluggish, holding Mai Mai, who was corroded by gastric juice and only half of his body remained.

   "How did you do it?" Katarina regretted looking away from the alien and asked Lu Li.

  This alien has no clothes on, so there is no way to find where the money was put.

   "My method of exorcism."

   Lu Li's short answer.

   "We almost got into trouble." Katarina was shocked. She didn't know what would happen to a tavern to find out that its guests had been slaughtered, but it certainly wasn't great.

   In any case, the fight did not attract the attention of the tavern downstairs.

   rustle——

   Big sister's head suddenly climbed onto Lu Li's shoulder. Before she could scream, Lu Li grabbed her and stretched out his left hand.

   "Big sister will not give in to threats!"

   The double braided doll wearing a twisted mask shrank back dutifully: "I-I'm going to tell my mother that you bullied me!"

   "No one will take you to Midnight City." Lu Li calmly looked at the eldest sister's head.

   The mother that the eldest sister said was a cause for concern. Isn't it the leader of the ghost town elves?

   but seems reasonable. If there is a higher-ranking existence above the eldest sister's head, it explains why the eldest sister's head needs an excuse to let Lu Li take it when she leaves the ghost town.

  The eldest sister lowered her head and thought for a few seconds: "I'll go to inform me when I get to Midnight City!"

"Can."

  Lu Li put the eldest sister's head back again. It jumped off its shoulders, like sitting on a slide, slipped to its back, and disappeared.

   "Are we really taking it to Midnight City?"

   Bringing an elf of unknown origin always makes Katarina a little bit conflicted.

   "We can only let it follow."

   Even if you don't consider the "mother" of the superior, you can't underestimate it because of the appearance of the eldest sister's head - it is not something Lu Li and Katerina can fight against.

  Lu Li looked down at Purseus, who was lost on the floor: "Mai Mai is dead, can you still lead the way to Midnight City?"

   "We should change a guide." Katerina frowned and said, not concealing her disgust for Pusius. "Guide is to help us avoid trouble, not cause trouble."

   "I...I can."

  Puseus put down his companion's body, sniffed and got up: "Miss Katerina, I want to bring Mai Mai because it knows a lot of things, and I want it to tell you."

   And now, Mai Mai and its secrets are buried in the belly of the alien.

   "How do we leave now? Going directly downstairs will definitely be suspected." Katarina ignored Pusius and asked Xiang Lu Li.

   Lu Li didn't answer, his eyes fell to the window.

  …

  .

  Lu Li fell calmly into the uneven masonry road.

  The passing beings around the tavern cast their gazes, Lu Li and Katerina Pusius met and walked towards the depths of the main line.

   Crossing a few forks, Katarina felt the sense of peeping disappear, and put down the palm covering her eyes.

   They were far enough away from the tavern that even if the tavern found the body upstairs, it wouldn't be too late to find them.

  Puseus followed Lu Li's feet, his head and tail drooping.

   "This was the worst day I've ever had..."

  Prius couldn't even bury his partner in the dirt and erect a tombstone after his death, as he always dreamed.

  It even thought about what to write on the tombstone: Mai Mai, the scout scout around the city, Daidai, the eyeliner of the scout around the city, and its own scout leader, Perseus...

   Lu Li was wearing a cloak and a hood, his face hidden in the shadows, like a pagan.

   But this look is better for old sewers than before.

   Before leaving the bustling main line area like the market, Pusius suggested that Katarina also put on a robe.

The    branch line is different from the main line. It is not very friendly to humans, and most of the people who wander and live there are aliens.

   In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Katarina took the advice of Physius and put on a cloak.

  If the main line of the old sewer is understood as a town, the branch line is the road connecting the town, and the dark line is the wilderness.

   is the most vast and most dangerous.

   Fortunately, there is no need to go through the dark line from Ghost Town Station to Midnight City Terminal, just pay attention to some less safe and frequently changing branch lines.

   For example, some branch lines became dark lines due to collapse; some branch lines became dark lines due to the replacement of those in power; some branch lines rejected human beings and needed to be avoided.

  To be honest, Katarina never trusted Pusius, but she had to admit that Pusius did save them a lot of trouble.

   It can detect that a branch line is about to break out a different kind of war and avoid it in advance. It is possible to recognize the dark line that is disguised as a branch line, but it is actually luring ignorant passers-by into it.

  A reliable guide will ensure you don’t get lost and run into danger in the old sewers that change every moment.

   "But why are we going from here."

   Katarina covered her nose in disgust.

   A branch underground cave appeared before us.

   Dirty, foul-smelling sewage flows along the rotting sludge and meanders downstream. Vast caves and stilted shacks built into the mud make it look like a swamp.
