Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 81 Eighty One. Shadow in the Wall

   A carriage slowly stopped on the dark street.

  Sparse candlelight flooded from some residential windows, but most of them were pitch black. In a world where darkness equals danger, this often means that no one lives in it.

   103 Oak Street, where the client lives. Under the wall of the high courtyard, a carriage stopped quietly not far away, and the windows of the residential houses behind the courtyard wall were dark and not a single light was on.

   "Are you late... or it's over."

   Outside the carriage, Lu Li was holding an oil lamp and whispering.

   The former means that the client has been killed, and the latter means that other exorcists are one step ahead.

  Anna couldn't understand the difference between the two, and sat on the side with her head tilted.

   "Can you feel the aura of the same kind inside?" Lu Li tilted his head and asked.

   "I can't feel it..." Anna shook her head slightly.

   This illustrates two points. There is no ghost in it, or the ghost in it is stronger than Anna.

  The former can almost be ruled out, that is to say…

  Lu Li didn't go in rashly. During this quiet observation, time passed quietly.

   "God's radiance spreads over the world~ The same is true for the radiance of money~"

   Suddenly at a certain moment, a soft hum sounded from the far side of the street, approaching slowly.

  Lu Li's eyes fell on the rear of the car. In the darkness, a figure with an oil lamp came swaying, humming something, like a drunk who just returned from a tavern.

   But the voice is very familiar. Just a few hours ago, Lu Li had talked a lot to the owner of the voice... By the way, he gave him 1,000 shillings.

   The humming faded, and Hades, who was walking a dozen miles in the middle of the night to save money, noticed the carriage ahead and the figure under the oil lamp beside the carriage.

   "Hide your breath."

  Lu Li told Anna that he was not sure what the local exorcist's attitude was towards ghosts.

   On the other side, Hades stopped walking and walked towards the carriage suspiciously until he saw the figure sitting on it——

   "Why are you here!?" Hades exclaimed, spreading far and wide in the quiet street, and then turned his attention in an instant: "You rob my business!?"

   Unexpectedly, Marcus said that the competitor is Hades...but it is quite reasonable. A guy like Hades who takes money as his life is a good match for Marcus.

   "Rather than grabbing business, we'd better find a client first." Because he was an acquaintance, Lu Li put down his guard.

  The client is the hostess of the house, and there is no one here, and there is no light, and things are strange.

   Hades came back to his senses and ran to the door with a bad look. Lu Li didn't want to miss the opportunity to make money and save people, and followed behind.

   Hades, who was the first to run to the street, rushed outside the iron gate next door and banged the iron gate a few times. Seeing that the door was locked and could not be opened, he climbed up the wall instead.

  The leather shoes stepped on several protrusions on the wall, and Hades climbed the top of the wall flexibly and jumped behind the wall.

   After all, he was getting old, and he was slightly out of breath after crossing over. Seeing that there was no light in the window, my heart tightened.

   "Hopefully nobody here..."

   "How could there be no one there? The client's family is inside." Lu Li, who followed closely behind, opened the door and walked into the courtyard, his frowning eyebrows were dark in the ancient well.

  Lu Li briefly held the psychic gun, and the moment of contact made him "see" that the whole house was shrouded in a hazy atmosphere like fog.

   He didn't even bother to ask Lu Li how to open the iron door, Hades' expression changed suddenly: "Oops!"

   He tried to push the door in, but to his helplessness, the inside of the door was locked and motionless.

  Before he thought of opening the window, Lu Li called Anna and asked her to go in and open the door.

  Anna glanced at Hades, who was not in the doorway.

   Haders looked at Lu Li in surprise: "Ghost!?"

   "Well." Lu Li said concisely and did not intend to explain.

The    voice fell, the door creaked, slowly pushed open, and Anna floated out from behind the dark door.

   Hades didn't care about Anna's identity for the time being. Like Lu Li, he stretched out his hand to hold the gun handle on his waist, raised the oil lamp and walked into the door. He wore a top hat and looked like a sheriff who was ready to work on a case.

   "Don't get too far away from me after entering." Lu Li stared at Hades' back and followed behind the door. Hold the handle of the gun in your hand, ready to pull out the psychic gun at any time.

"anyone there!"

  The light and shadow of the oil swayed, Hades slowly looked around, his body lowered and moved forward slowly.

   Lu Li was standing behind him, and Anna looked curious, as if one person and one ghost were shopping, instead of exploring the dangerous houses.

   Walking forward a few meters along the dark corridor, an open door appeared in sight.

   Haders passed through the dark room beside him, raised the oil lamp to shine inside, the edge of the darkness, the outline of a piano appeared.

   After observing, Hades withdrew his gaze and continued forward.

   passed through an open door again, Hades raised the oil lamp again, the bed was empty, the quilt was lifted, the sheets were messed up, this was a bedroom.

   Continue to move forward. After walking a few meters, Hades suddenly stopped walking with a solemn expression.

   He held the handle of the oil lamp in his mouth, and put his left hand in his pocket, holding a strange black dead branch.

"This is……"

  The black dead branch seems to be some kind of homologous, and Hades holding it seems to perceive something and observes the surroundings.

   "Anna, tear off the wallpaper."

   Lu Li suddenly made a sound.

  Anna nodded obediently, and suddenly a gust of wind spread all over the corridor.

   The gust of wind blew the tips of his hair, and there was some kind of gloomy aura in it, sweeping the surroundings.

   The confetti pieces were flying all over the sky, falling from the top of the head.

   "This..." Hades has loosened the dead branches. Through the scattered debris, he saw everything behind the wallpaper, and his face was horrified.

   The thick black and red lines of the thickness of the arm extend disorderly on the wall, like children's graffiti, rich, deep, and layer upon layer. Ceilings, walls, everywhere, extending under the wallpaper.

   A black silhouette appeared at the previous hole.

   The silhouette shape of a family of three holding hands, in a happy mood, appears on the wall very uncomfortable.

   Hades stared at the weird black silhouette holding hands, a cold current came into his mind from his back, and shouted in horror: "It's a talisman!"

   "Seal?"

  Lu Li stared at the black silhouette of the family of three and tilted his head slightly.

   "Patterns with weird powers... Those lines are imprints, and the whole house has been painted with imprints!"

"so?"

   "The talisman has another layer of space, I want to destroy it, or the ghosts in the walls will come out!"

   Hades looked grim. He took out the dead branch again, lowered his head and bit the bark.

  Lu Li noticed the bite marks all over the dead branches.

   Hades swallowed the bark the size of his fingernail in pain, and the **** veins suddenly appeared on his face. He stepped back all the way, back to the piano room where they had passed earlier. Hades rushed into the room, raised his head and shouted to Lu Li, "I want to break the talisman, but I can't protect you, you and your ghost better get out quickly."

"Um."

   Hades can obviously solve it, Lu Li turned around and walked out of the room without hesitation.

   Walking to the door, Lu Li stopped and turned around: "Do you need to close the door?"

   The dark piano room came into view, no light or people were seen.

   Hades disappeared, and Anna was also missing.
