Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 817 One Hundred Eight

The   cold winds swept southwards, and the smoke that pushed the Scarecrow Village wafted out for miles.

  The straw piled up in the abandoned farmland fueled the flames and blocked the way to survive outside the village.

   The thick smoke penetrated into the clouds, and even after more than ten miles away, you can still see the smoke clouds that are more gloomy than the clouds behind you.

  The people on the road began to encounter strange things frequently, and strange things like vultures were gathering here.

  Evil Fallen's keen perception, they avoided weirdness in advance, some were unavoidable, or attracted by Lu Li's breath, but they were not strong, and Xie Fallen and Katerina quickly fought.

   Their next stop is Yuri's Village, which is marked on the Old Age map but not on the Geeky Age map, which is most likely abandoned or destroyed.

  If confirmed, they'll have to spend the night there, then take a few detours through the Therma Mountains into the peaceful plains with a pleasant climate.

  The cold air flow from the south is blocked by the Thelma Mountains, which is not so cold or so bustling.

   If they don't deviate from the direction, they will arrive at Yuri Village in the evening.

   Near noon, Evil Fall suddenly stopped.

   His face was replaced by an abyss-like hole.

"how is this possible……"

   Obscure whispers sounded from the depths of the abyss.

   "What?" Katarina covered her eyes and looked around.

   The size of the hole in the evil face represents the size of the danger - this is the first time it has spread to the whole face.

   "An evil spirit is there."

  Evil Falls turned to the southwest.

  Lu Li raised his black eyes, and the rolling hills blocked his vision.

   "Do you know what it is?"

"do not know."

   "You stay here."

  Lu Li walked towards the place where the evil spirit existed. Katarina blocked him and frowned: "Are you crazy? That is the evil spirit."

   Although she knew that the "Anna" Lu Li was looking for was an evil spirit.

   "Evil spirits are known not to be dangerous." Lu Li still seemed calm.

   The real danger is the evil spirits who do not know the ritual.

   "You don't know if the evil spirit is known, right?" Katarina blocked Lu Li, who was bypassing, again. "You didn't notice that something was wrong with you? You were neglecting your life."

   Lu Li's pace suddenly stopped.

"No matter what you want to die for love or whatever, your life depends on a lot, it's about us, it's about Wiener Freeze, it's about human civilization. Don't forget what the mayor said, people can't bear the blow of the disappearance of the last exorcist. !"

   Katarina gasped, and her words, who couldn't understand a word, showed how angry she was.

   "And isn't 'Anna' very important to you? You are also very important to her, right? As an evil spirit, can't she perceive you?"

   After a moment of silence, Lu Li nodded lightly.

"I see."

  Lu Li no longer wanted to approach the evil spirits, and Katarina finally breathed a sigh of relief, and by the way vented the stagnation of these days.

   "It's the first time I saw Mr. Lu Li so impulsive..." Pusius leaned over to Katerina's feet and whispered, "Miss Katerina, you said it well."

   "Maybe he was emotionally affected by the weirdness." Katerina was still thinking.

   "Not necessarily. The more calm people are, the more things they care about." Prius raised his head and said. "I saw it in a book."

   Continuing on the road, the abyss on Evil Fallen's face gradually shrank, returning to abstract facial features.

   They are keeping away from that unknown evil spirit.

   Maybe because evil spirits roamed here, they didn't encounter weirdness for a while.

   But after turning over a hill, an unexpected scene emerged at the far end.

   It is noon, and a village stands quietly in the distance of the hills.

  Lu Li took out the compass and map.

   They didn't veer off course, and the old and new maps didn't have any markings about that village.

   It was an unnamed village that was not recorded, and stood in the way of everyone who was heading south.

   "Be careful." Katerina reminded before approaching.

   Slow down, Lu Li and others approached the village after half an hour.

  The nameless village is not as lifeless as the scarecrow village, with almost no villagers in sight - many villagers wander around the village.

   The abyss on Evil Fallen's face shrank back to normal, and a whisper came from under the cloak: "There is nothing. This place is... very clean..."

   "Clean isn't a good thing, right?" Katerina, who was looking at the silhouette of the village, narrowed her eyes.

   A clean village can't last a day in the wild.

   Clean means "less clean" in a way.

  In any case, they couldn't avoid going into the village when they tracked down Anna's whereabouts.

   The nearest villagers found them and raised their heads dully: "Outsiders...?"

   "We're investigating an incident about the resurrection of the dead." Katerina said straight to the point, if they could, they wouldn't stay here too long.

   Scarecrow Village is enough for this to happen once.

   "Investigate...investigate...?" The middle-aged villager paused for more than ten seconds, then suddenly shouted: "They...have...knowledge..."

   Slow and vague cries echoed over the village.

"Knowledge?"

"Knowledge?"

The word    spread like a plague, resounding throughout the village.

   "I don't feel right..."

The    villagers acted like some sluggish creatures she had heard about in Midnight City.

   And their response was disturbing.

   looked around, villagers gathered and approached from all directions.

   Katarina pulled out the dagger and put her other hand in the eye socket, but the next moment, a sense of powerlessness flooded her body.

Snapped--

   The dagger that had been clenched fell into the dirt, and Katarina, who had lost her strength, fell.

   Evil fall who also fell.

   The only one who was okay, Pusius, was about to shout when Lu Li whispered in his ears.

   "Don't resist."

   Seeing that Lu Li was also down, Pusius gave up his struggle and pretended to faint.

  …

   Katarina slowly woke up.

   The rough touch from the wrist behind him indicates the current situation.

   Katarina looked up and looked around.

   They were locked up in a hut with torches on the walls, wickedly fallen, and Purse, like her, tied to a stake.

   There is light outside the window, and it should not be too long.

   Lu Li and Pusius have woken up, and Evil Fall has just woken up.

"what happened……"

   Katarina tried to struggle, and the exhaustion that emerged from the depths of her body made it difficult for her to lift her strength.

   "Something that can stun us."

   Lu Li's calm voice sounded from the side, and in Katerina's stunned eyes, the palm of his hand holding the dagger stretched back from behind, and the hemp rope slipped.

   "Lu Li you..."

   "Pretend to be faint."

   Lu Li, who broke free of the twine, went around behind Katerina, cut her twine, and then came the wicked and pitifully tied to a stake with his legs hanging in the air.

   "The villagers here believe in the poison of knowledge and are ready to sacrifice us."

   "Wait, speak slowly." Katarina, who moved her wrist, covered her forehead. "I find it hard to concentrate..."

   "There is a source of pollution in the village suppressing thinking."

   Lu Li's next words are kept as simple and short as possible.

   "It is no coincidence that the poison of knowledge is nearby."
