Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 813 One Hundred Four. Follow Anna's Footsteps

   A cabin in the woods.

  The wind blows in the woods, and the rustling is like the sound of ocean waves.

   Or drifting from the coast into the pass.

  The wooden door opened silently.

"Meow--"

   The elegant black cat squatting by the door raised his head and called.

  The silhouette of a girl stood behind the door, as black as a cat and as dark as night.

   "I found a way..."

   The girl lowered her eyes.

   "He can't come back..."

   "But I'll bring him back."

  …

  The eldest sister stopped translating.

   The narrative is very rough, and the eldest sister tried her best, because the flowing cat couldn't express more details.

  Anna seemed to sink into the ground with Lu Li, and was also silent for twenty-four years.

  The oil lamps cast the shadows of the crowd as if they were frozen.

   The Flowing Cat didn't know where she went.

   After a brief silence, Lu Li asked Father Wig if anything weird happened today.

   "There is indeed one...Money's dead daughter came back to life."

   Father recalled the funeral he presided over half a month ago.

  …

   "The noble flowing cat protects our body and soul. Even if the body rots, the soul will be immortal..."

  At the foot of the Hillelvig Mountains, the priest presided over the ceremony in the open space at the humble funeral built with wooden planks.

   "Bebes, who has dedicated her life to the mountains, will be guided by the stray cat to the resting place of the dead..."

  Weige Town has a population of less than 1,000, many of them are old people, and young people are scarce and precious.

   But today, a young life withers.

   Nobody wants this to happen.

   Aside from Bebes' father and the Church of the Wandering Cats, who presided over the funeral, some townspeople gathered around the edge of the clearing and whispered what happened to the dead.

   "Poor Bebes...she hasn't had time to taste love..."

   "She was so careless that she was touched by the meat blanket...:

   "Poor Money, he almost cried blind..."

   Small whispers drifted in the glade like the rustling of the wind.

   There is also the meowing of wild cats.

   Many wild cats gathered around, waiting for something.

   "The Messenger of the Lord has arrived!"

   Father suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "They will take her soul—"

  The middle-aged man named Moni cried even more painfully, and even asked the believers to support him.

  People were infected by this sadness, and no one noticed that under the torchlight, a dark shadow gracefully walked among the dirt covered with footprints, and burrowed into the shadow of Moni.

  Money stopped crying, and the believer who helped him thought he was tired, but he didn't notice the panic in the depths of those eyes.

The    panic melted quickly, stuffed his eyes, and climbed up his face, and then, Mooney found himself recovering.

   Then, he saw his daughter lying in the rough coffin, covered in flesh and blood like a creep, opening her bloodshot, cloudy eyes.

  The priest and the believers also saw this scene, they had never encountered such a thing before. But as believers, they did not scream and flee, and the townspeople in the distance could not see what was happening here, and there was no spread of riots.

"who I am?"

   "I'm Moni."

   "I'm not Moni..."

   "I'm Bebes."

   A few muffled words to himself, head turned to Money.

"dad……"

  Money recognized this sentence, in addition to joy, there was more panic.

   "Who, who are you?!"

   "Dad, I'm Bei-"

   The corpse that claimed to be Bebes began to melt, and it turned into an indistinct grunt in an instant, and it formed a mass of red and white mashed meat in the coffin.

  …

   "Money not only cried and blinded his eyes, but also went crazy. Vig Town lost two townspeople in one day..."

   Father sighed, he almost watched Money grow up, and little Bebes...

   Lu Li was silent.

   It became gray outside the window, and it was almost dawn.

   Knowing that Lu Li and the others did not rest all day, the priest arranged several rooms for them, but Katerina refused and only wanted a large room.

   Father God sent them to the big house in the center of the town, and respectfully watched the stray cat follow them into the house.

  .

   Katerina, who was walking behind, hung the latch.

   Katerina and Physius have a lot of questions, and it seems that they can ask at this time.

   "The Anna you're looking for is the girl's shadow...a... an evil spirit?"

"Um."

   "Can humans also become evil spirits..."

   "People change all the time."

  Evil Fall sounded with a sarcastic shrill voice.

  Katarina ignored the evil fall, looked at Lu Li and asked, "The funeral the priest said...is that her?"

"Maybe."

  It wasn't like Anna's ritual—she didn't leave a puddle of minced flesh, but melted into the shadows and devoured it.

   "Unimaginable..." Katarina whispered.

   I don't know if it's unimaginable that Lu Li is looking for an evil spirit, or it's unimaginable that he is cruel to evil spirits.

   Then she suddenly sounded. In front of the hunter's hut, Lu Li loaded the psychic gun.

   "Then you...still want to find it...Miss Anna?" asked Pusius.

"Um."

   "But where will she go?"

  The clues seem to be broken, but there still seem to be traces to follow.

  If there is Anna's shadow in the Bebes incident, she will not stop there.

   "What's the name of the last stop in Vig?"

   Katarina asked suddenly.

"I am searching……"

  Puseus is going to rummage through the map in the suitcase.

   "Haug Town." Lu Li said.

   "Evil spirit... I mean Anna, she may have gone to another town." Katarina seemed to finally be wise.

   is very likely.

   But the steam train will arrive in the afternoon, now is the rest time.

  The weird fog subsided quietly, they were lying on a few single beds sent by the priest, washing their way with exhaustion for a whole day and knowing the shock of the secret.

   Lu Li didn't go to sleep, he still had something to ask the Floating Cat.

   and whether it is going to leave with them.

  The flowing cat refused to leave, it wanted to stay to resist the evil.

   The frogfish I saw last night in the town of Nice.

  If there is no obstruction from the stray cats, they will land on the Hillelvig Mountains, occupy this place, and maybe one day they will cross the mountain and reach the small town of Vig.

   There will be a permanent missing piece at the very end of the railway.

  In the afternoon, the sleeping people woke up, bid farewell to the cat and priest in the sound of the steam train whistle, and boarded the empty train.

   There are no customers on the train today.

  Wait for a while, the steam train leaves the platform at a slower speed than walking, and the platform staff are driving away the wild cats lying on the warm rails on the railway.

   Katarina watched for a while, then retracted her gaze and yawned, leaning back on the soft back chair, ready to sleep again.

   Lu Li still didn't go to sleep, he tried to understand what Anna was doing.

   This is uncomplicated to others, even simple to understand: the evil spirit is performing its rituals.

   Near noon, the steam train stopped at the platform of Hauge Town, far away from the Hillerwig Mountains.

  Haug Town is more prosperous than Weig Town, at least not so lifeless.

   They inquired about whether something strange happened in the town recently, and got confirmation from the townspeople, and it was similar to what happened in the town of Vig——

   It seems that Anna's existence left a footprint here.
