Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 776 Sixty-seven. Chamber of Secrets

   The warm glow of the fireplace radiates throughout the room.

   neatly arranged desks and bookshelves, two unopened letters on the desk, a bed in the corner, and a dining table with pastries.

   Compared with the prison cell, it is more accurate to use the secret room here.

  Lu Li even found that the handcuffs were not strong, and the gap allowed him to remove the handcuffs like a bracelet.

   Looking at the handcuffs and the runes engraved on the tarpaulin, they seem to have the same origin.

  Loose restraints and a secret room more like a study——

  A certain high-ranking person forcibly brought him here?

   Don't they think Lu Li is an impostor?

   Someone is spying somewhere?

  The truth is wrapped in a mist called Bizarre.

  Lu Li walked over to the desk and turned his eyes to the two letters on the desk.

  【Your Excellency Lu Li personally opened】

   half-folded letters are written.

   Opened the letter, but it was not the answer, but the investigation information about "Girl's Shadow" and "The Merchant".

   For the former, because of the information blockade caused by the weird era, and the "Shadow of the Maiden" did not ravage the town, her final news still ended in the Hillelvig Mountains.

   This means that if Lu Li wants to find Anna, he can only go to the Hillevigg Mountains to explore.

The latter, as the partner of the exorcists in the old era, the merchants disappeared along with the exorcists in this land, and their former wealth disappeared, except that the Dweller Chamber of Commerce seemed to have opened the merchants in the barren land. A treasure.

   and the Wiener Antifreeze Museum, which preserves the body of a merchant.

  Lu Li re-read the investigation information about "Shadow of a Girl" and put the letter back on the desk.

  The bookshelves are full of books, but they are all "useless" knowledge. The only useful geography is also for reference only because of the great changes brought about by the weird times.

   In any case, someone brought Lu Li to the secret room, obviously not for the purpose of imprisoning him.

  Lu Li is waiting for the moment when the person behind the scenes appears

   After waiting longer than expected, there was no clock in the secret room, and almost a day had passed in the perception, and some indistinguishable sounds could be faintly penetrated outside the secret room.

   Another half day passed, and Lu Li, who was sitting in front of the fireplace and flipping through a plantology book, raised his head.

The    stone door was pushed open by friction, and a knight in dark gold armor appeared outside the door.

  They came to take Lu Li away.

  Lu Li put the book back on the shelf, took two letters, and followed them out of the secret room.

   This time, they didn't use the tarpaulin and handcuffs with mysterious power to restrain Lu Li, but just led him to walk along the corridor that extended upwards.

   Underground?

   Lu Li guessed and quickly got the answer. After walking a distance, a cell appeared on the side of the corridor.

  This is indeed a dungeon, but the exception is the secret room.

  Many prisons are empty or covered in strange gray fog, making it impossible to see inside.

   But as it gradually moves from the deep to the shallow, the cell changes.

  All the cells were covered with tarpaulins, and the stench of blood permeated the narrow corridor.

   "What happened to these prisons."

  Lu Li saw some bloodstains. They are not stale and seem to dry up soon.

  The silent knight suddenly replied to Lu Li: "Here heresy has invaded."

   "Here?"

   "Pagans, conspirators."

   Lu Li was vaguely aware of their purpose and the source of the noise outside the secret room half a day ago.

   After a long journey, they seemed to come to the upper level of the dungeon. There were no more cells here, but a relatively wide corridor.

At the end of the    is an archway formed by a solid fog.

  The knights brought Lu Li to the foggy arch and let him go in.

   "Where is it inside."

   This time, Lu Li's question was not answered.

   He could only step into the foggy arch, passing through the gray fog that seemed to be substantial—

   The gray fog gradually dissipated in front of him, and Lu Li appeared in a cramped space surrounded by three sides, with a knee-high threshold in front of him.

   Outside the cramped space is an open, borderless study, surrounded by a light blue crystal curtain wall, which can command a commanding view of the entire Midnight City.

   Except for the part blocked by the trunk of the giant tree that covers half of the city.

  Two figures are sitting on the sofa in front of the curtain wall, and there is an empty sofa.

   They are waiting for Lu Li.

  Lu Li stepped over the threshold and looked back at the door he walked out.

   That is a wardrobe.

   "We call it the 'door'."

   said the old man among the two figures. He has a sickly pale hair and beard, and wears a light green robe with the University of the Giant Tree badge on his chest.

"Door?"

The word    caught Lu Li's attention.

   Strangely, 24 years after he left the underground and arrived, the "door" has not appeared again.

   "A mysterious side tool developed by the college." The old man replied with a smile. "The dungeon is not connected to the outside exit. The 'door' is the only way to get in and out of the dungeon."

   "I'm Ernie Hamilton Wayne, professor of the occult at Cline's University. She's Meg, from the Church of Midnight."

   "This is the Alchemy Tower?" Lu Li looked out of the crystal curtain wall.

   The feet are very high, almost parallel to the branches of the giant tree in the distance.

   "The Reyes Alchemy Tower, one of the five alchemy towers," said Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne.

   "You rescued me, but you still have to tell the truth." Lu Li looked at him calmly.

   "As expected of the exorcist who left a legend." Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne said kindly. "You guessed the truth."

   "Which."

  Midnight City has no riots and smoke, unlikely factionalism.

"the latter."

  Meg of Midnight Church was reticent, so Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne told him the truth: it seemed that Clinens University had done bad things with good intentions.

   It is indeed a matter of course to think that heroes get their due reputation, and it seems that Clinens University is not doing anything wrong to preach this, even though they have their own interests.

   But these idealists in the ivory tower who have been out of touch with reality and reality for too long are too optimistic about the situation in Midnight City.

  The heretics who want to kidnap Lu Li, the organizer of the conspiracy around Lu Li, the weirdness trying to destroy Midnight City and its heroes, and the City Hall faction and the noble faction who want to win over Lu Li.

  So the neutral giant tree, Midnight Church, and some city hall members made plans to hide Lu Li, and then led out all the conspirators to solve them.

   "Yenard Matthews is also under protection?"

   "No, he's a stand-in we made." The wise Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne smiled mysteriously, looking at the closet.

   "Please sit down and wait, he'll be there soon."

  Lu Li sat down on the only empty sofa, and a figure appeared in the "closet".

  Yenard Matthews.

   He no longer had the confident smile that never disappeared, but rather cautiously got out of the closet and walked in front of them.

   "You can tell our Lord Lu Li the answer." Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne motioned to him.

  Yenard Matthews stood up straight, looked up and said, "My name is Stan Lozano, a stage actor."
