Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 846 One hundred and thirty-seven. He was wearing a black trench coat and his black tie was blowing in the wind

   "They seem to be afraid of us."

   Katarina stepped through the cooling lava and lowered her voice.

   On the other side, the inhabitants of the sanctuary clenched torches and outdated homologous weapons, faces delighted by the eerie resolution and wary by the stranger.

   Most of them are middle-aged people, and some young people.

   "This sanctuary is not open. We are no different from weirdos. We are all outsiders who invaded the sanctuary." Lu Li replied, looking for familiar silhouettes in the crowd.

   "At least we won't attack them." Katerina said sarcastically.

   Katarina doesn't like Vault Dwellers.

   Nobody likes Vault Dwellers, except those who rely on Vault Dwellers for their benefit.

   As they linger on the surface struggling to survive and the bizarre confrontations pouring into the world, the Vault Dwellers take refuge in a sanctuary deep underground. Although people know that the meaning of shelter is to leave fire, but understanding does not mean accepting.

  No one likes to be left alone.

   The dignified atmosphere was not lifted by the demise of the strange.

  “Ow—”

   Suddenly, Pusius' screams sounded. He accidentally guessed that the soft magma case that had not yet cooled down, the claws collapsed downward, the hair around the claws burned for a moment, and he picked up his tail and drilled to Lu Li's feet to tremble.

The    interlude eased the atmosphere. A manager stepped out of the crowd, stood outside the solidified magma and stroked his chest in an old-fashioned aristocratic salute: "Thank you for your help, outsiders. But can you tell me your purpose?"

   "We found a strangely dug cave in the ground ruins." Lu Li replied.

   "Thank you for your help..." The old manager seemed to hesitate, hesitating to decide something: "If you need food or supplies, we can help, but we don't want you to spread the news that the shelter is here."

   There was a noise from the crowd of residents, who did not support the administrator's decision to let outsiders leave, which would expose the shelter.

   "Don't you know him?" Their attitude made Katerina even more disgusted, and maliciously sarcastically said: "This is the legendary exorcist of your era."

   The manager was stunned: "May I ask who you are?"

   "My name is Lu Li, the exorcist." Lu Li said calmly, "I know Baron Joseph Irene and investigator Tesla, they should be residents of the refuge."

   "Tesla? That traitor told—"

   A middle-aged shelter resident suddenly shouted angrily and was stopped by the manager. He stared at Lu Li and landed on his young and handsome face: "I'm not sure of your identity, but... what do you want?"

   "I want to see Erin and Tesla."

  Eternal Dreamer's prediction points to this land, and these refuge residents should know Anna's information.

   "...Please come with me."

   Lu Li's age made the manager puzzled, but he didn't think the people on the surface knew about Erin and Tesla.

   Whether they really knew these two people, or whether Tesla told them.

   "Outsiders should not enter the shelter."

   A young resident stood up to resist the administrator's decision, with some supporters standing behind him, including a middle-aged man who called Tesla a traitor.

   "They've come in, child." The manager shook his head slightly. "Outside is the refuge."

   His supporters pushed away the opponents and let the manager lead Lu Li and the others to the depths of the ground.

   Away from the residents of the shelter who complained about leaving to clean up the damage caused by the strange invasion, the passage gradually became narrow and cramped, and the traces of excavation on the stone wall indicated that this was a forcibly dug passage.

   After a certain distance, a natural open cave emerges at the end of the passage.

   Fluorite stars are inlaid on the top of the cave, and the broken sphere made up of hundreds of fluorite is like the moon, emitting a dim halo that illuminates the cave.

   Children chased and played underground with laughter.

   Katerina stared blankly at all this, she had never seen so many children in one place.

  Children always represent hope.

   noticed that their children also stopped chasing and looked curiously at these strange outsiders. Observing the children of Purse and Ophelia the most makes them uncomfortable.

   Extending the wooden house on the hill in the center of the cave, stepping on the street composed of gravel, they approached the top of the hill.

  Lu Li asked the manager: "Why do residents say Tesla is a traitor."

   "Because 20 years ago, Tesla escaped from the shelter."

   That is four years after Lu Li disappeared.

   As time goes by, the surface environment is getting worse and worse, the merchants gradually disappear, and the only information Tesla and Adamuya know about each other may be broken.

   Given the importance of Adamuya to Tesla, his departure from the sanctuary does not seem surprising.

  Tesla who returned to the surface should look at the sea cliff. But Lu Li didn't find the letter he left... Maybe Tesla died on the road, or left the letter in his former home.

   However, the place is now occupied by the worm and its relatives, and it is impossible to confirm whether there is any letter left by him.

  Thinking about it, the manager led them to the supervisor's hut at the top of the hill.

   This is just a two-story wooden house with the flag of the sanctuary, but it is already the most luxurious building in the hills.

   The manager told the guard in front of the door: "The weirdness was solved by an outsider. An outsider who claimed to know the supervisor and called Lu Li an exorcist wanted to see her."

The    guards handed their spears to their companions, turned and entered the wooden house to convey the message.

   Soon the guards came out, and eager shouts rang out from the door that had not been closed.

   "The regulators let outsiders in."

   "Outsiders, please come in." The manager stepped aside to signal.

  Lu Li pushed the door and walked into the wooden house.

  The fireplace in the living room was burning, and the oil lamp filled with fluorite was placed in front of the desk, reflecting the shadow of the bookshelf.

   A woman in a wheelchair behind a desk.

  Time robbed her of her past, but she could still see the contours of her lost beauty from her wrinkled face.

   The bright eyes that reflected the flames showed hope.

   And the tall figure who stepped into the living room did not disappoint her.

   "Lu Li? It's really you... Lulu! Lulu!"

  Irene patted the table like a girl and shouted, "Come down and see who's here!"

   A figure appeared in front of the wooden ladder, the pale woman with rough hair pushed up her thick round glasses and looked at Lu Li calmly.

"Who are you?"

   "He's Lu Li, don't you remember—"

   Irene's excited shouts stopped abruptly and quickly calmed down.

   Of course they knew about Lu Li, but they also knew that twenty years had passed.

  Lulu took out an old-fashioned evil spirit broadcast, listened to it for a while and raised her head: "He is not an evil spirit."

   "Maybe we are evil spirits or evil gods."

   Their reaction made Katarina feel sarcastic.

   "Then you don't need to disguise your identity." Lulu's voice was as steady as Lu Li's, and she asked strangely, "Why haven't you grown old."
