Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 844 One hundred and thirty-five.

   Only Purseus was still confused and didn't know what was going on.

   "An uninvited guest, this is its ritual." Katerina looked back and answered Pusius' puzzlement. "You do not know?"

   "Uh...when I was very young..." Pusius lowered his head.

   Katarina briefly talks about its consciousness. Because of this sentence, the merchant paid her 200 contribution points.

   "You should adjust the ratio of information exchanged for rewards." Lu Li reminded the businessman.

   Weird Age is not suitable for continuing to use the contribution point system of the old age, at least not now.

   Any kind of weirdness is new to the only merchant, and its full value is at least 500 contribution points—

The ratio of    contribution points and shillings in the old currency is still 1:10, one weird message is enough to buy thousands of pounds of weird meat, and the body becomes dehumanized due to pollution.

"How to do."

  The businessman asked Lu Li for his opinion.

   This was out of the way, but there was only one exorcist left, and so was the merchant.

   "Let Wiener Frozen Harbor put together a bizarre book."

   This will prevent some guys from selling information that everyone knows.

   A pot of fish meat is boiled and smells fishy. Pusius likes this kind of food with a strong flavor, but Catalina, on the contrary, lacks condiments and side dishes, and the fishy smell of the sea is a hundred times stronger than the sea breeze, which makes it difficult for her to swallow these fish. But Lu Li was also eating quietly, and she didn't say anything.

   Ophelia does not need to eat. Although she can make eating actions, the food is just a burden to her, and the food she swallows will only be burned into waste residue by the high temperature in her body.

   After eating the fish, take it out and pour out the remaining fish soup, there is still some time before the rest.

   The little guy like the glue of the team, Pusius, began to ask the new members: "Ophelia, are you also from the old days?"

   "I'm... Wraith." Ophelia subconsciously corrected herself as a scholar. "Yes, I and... Lu Li...were together..."

   sounds a bit ambiguous, I don’t know if it’s an expression problem or intentional, like the latter.

   "Can you tell us something about that era?" Pusius asked curiously, and Katerina also came to pay attention.

  Lu Li never talked about that time.

   "I...speaking...slowly." Ophelia's answer was hoarse and intermittent.

   "It doesn't matter, the night is still long anyway." Pusius squatted down obediently.

   Ophelia tilted her head, as if pieces of ashes fell off and dissipated, slowly telling the story of the old days.

  The unpleasant voice, the slow words flowed in the captain's room, and the scene of the old days unfolded in my mind.

   They all had a brief and amazing glimpse of the misty fictional bustling streets and warm sunshine on the train, the noisy and brisk crowd and the warm smell on the fur made Caterina and Physius fresh in their memory.

  People always yearn for things outside the accustomed to, especially that is really beautiful.

   "If we get out of the dark clouds, will we be able to see the sun?"

  Puseus looked out the window with longing, but there was only the surging darkness clinging to the glass.

   "No, the vain... sky... obscures... the sky."

   is what the people of the Badlands call "don't trust the sky".

   seems to be responding to the conversation of everyone in the captain's room, or the change of clouds in the approaching winter.

   It was a regular reddish-brown luminous cuboid, almost half the size of the sky. It does not emit light itself, the light source comes from natural light outside the cuboid. This gives the cuboid a sense of hierarchy, as if there is another layer of space outside.

  Lu Li carefully stared at the cuboid itself, or the space outside the cuboid.

  The curved lines crawl on the reddish-brown surface, and the familiar seems to be the ceiling.

  Lu Li's black eyes gradually shrank, and he saw a head passing by the edge of the cuboid.

   "I call it...Carton...Sky."

   Ophelia murmured.

   "We're like...beings in...boxes...with the ground under our feet...like...the bottom of a carton..."

   They all saw the back of the head where the edge of the carton passed, and identified the light brown hair.

   Ophelia's words and the associations brought by the scenery are oppressive and spectacular.

  People suppress their insignificance and yearn for the world outside the carton.

   "I saw this sky when I was a kid..."

  Katarina looked up at the sky and whispered, so she recalled several nightmares of high fever after seeing the sky: the distant scene drew closer to the front, forming the outline of the abominable monster.

   "Is it an evil spirit?" Lu Li asked.

"do not know……"

   The illusory sky lasted for nearly an hour before disappearing again due to the occlusion of dark clouds.

   Everyone left the window, returned to their seats, and digested what they saw.

   It seems that every "false sky" will induce fear and desire to explore in people's hearts, at least the two times that Lu Li has seen the sky has this element.

  The captain's room, which had been warm before, was cold and quiet, and soon it was time to rest. Purse, who had not yet escaped from the sky scene, said good night to Lu Li and the others, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

  The black crow landed on the locked rudder.

   "I don't like being too hot."

   Katarina, who was leaning on the edge farthest from Ophelia, said so.

   Silence returned to the captain's room.

Ophelia, who didn't need to sleep, quietly watched Lu Li, who was gradually falling asleep. At a certain moment, she leaned forward slightly as if to get closer to Lu Li, but found that she didn't need to sleep either. Body.

  The faint sound of waves drifted into the captain's room, and the night was quiet.

  …

  Lu Li woke up from the cold coming.

  The businessman by the door closed the door, and Pusius came back shaking damp hair.

   "I went out to pee."

   Katarina also woke up, stretching her slender waist.

  Lu Li looked out the window, and there was a layer of water mist on the glass, as if a thick fog filled the air.

  The weird fog has receded, leaving only the immersive mist and moisture that enveloped the world.

   The temperature is still decreasing, each day is colder than the previous day.

   Warm canned food for breakfast. After eating, Andrea leaned towards the ruins of the port and moored at the edge of the shallow water.

   Close to the mist on the sea surface, a wooden boat slowly emerged, approaching the shore port.

   On the shore, they looked at the ruins of the port. Rather than ruins, it is more appropriate to use ruins to describe this port. Only a few columns and broken stone slabs remain in the once bustling harbour.

   But as we went deeper into this land, people gradually noticed the difference.

  The marble columns stand among the ruins, covered with time marks, the stone slabs have long been cracked and broken, and the dead grass between the stone crevices has long died. Damaged and mutilated stone statues are scattered everywhere, and most of them are difficult to identify.

   This is not the port of Shymfast.

   is more like a... lost ruins.

   reminded Lu Li of the ruins prophesied by the Eternal Dreamers.

   Ruins, Abyss, Cultist, Tree, Brown Car.
