Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 860 One hundred and fifty one. In Bell, Belfast, the most prosperous place on the Allen Peninsula

  Lu Li found other people at the edge of the gray fog, including the disappearing eldest sister.

   They got together and were about to go deep into the gray fog to find Lu Li, and to find the artifact fragments together.

   "I got it."

  Lu Li shows the stone tablets given by Socrates. Katarina felt nothing, but Ophelia and Physius stepped back, feeling the power of the fragment that could kill them.

"when?"

   "Mr. Lu Li, haven't you encountered a stone statue?"

   Katarina and Physius asked at the same time.

   "When you placed an order, you met."

  Lu Li briefly recounts the three trials and the contemplation of Socrates at the end.

   "I think his implication is that none of us are smart."

   Katarina looked around at her companion who was also stuck in the first test and said.

   "Are we going to leave now? Or stay in the gray fog for one night?" asked Pusius, not long before dark.

   "Better not." Lu Li looked into the depths of the gray fog.

  Although Socrates is a friend rather than an enemy, there are clearly other dangers in this gray fog.

"You decide."

  Katerina began to put on her clothes and walked out of the gray fog.

When    stepped out of the gray fog, a howling wind came, pushing them forward.

   A tailwind on the way back allowed them to reach Relstein City near dark. They did not enter the city, however, and circled along the ancient city walls to the gate they first entered, returning to the hut before the eerie fog enveloped them.

  Everything in the living room was the same as when they left. Ophelia inspected the house, and Lu Lichu observed the street in front of the door. After seeing their footprints gradually being covered by the wind and snow, she closed the door and hung the latch.

   The temperature of the cold hut where he exhaled gradually rose.

  Two oil lamps, one on the dining table and one under the stairs. The crowd sat in front of the "fire" piled up with a dozen fluorites, pretending that Ophelia's scorching heat originated from the "fire".

   "How did you get it?"

   Katarina pushed the kettle towards Ophelia.

   "Socrates."

  Lu Li recounted what happened to him after the dispersal.

   "So that's how it is..."

  Katarina and the others were stopped by the first test, and they didn't experience the latter ones at all.

   Speaking of their respective trials, Katarina said after being silent for a while: "It tells me that I am actually still in the Emerald Dream."

   Her fear that everything is false has never gone away.

   Thinking about it carefully, the change in Katrina's life trajectory did indeed begin after the Emerald Dream.

   Aside from death, all she fears is that she wakes up one day and everything she's experienced disappears.

   "It...it said I would never be able to become a human again." Prius lowered his face, as if sad.

   Ophelia faced a different test. It was asked to fluently recite a proverb following the stone statue.

   This was indeed a test for her.

  The test of the eldest sister is that the mother comes to catch it.

   Even the merchants go through the test of Socrates, and it is the same desire in the merchant's heart, if he has the heart: more merchants to wake up.

   "So...you don't know what it would cost to take it."

  Katarina asked while looking at the stone flakes that Lu Li had placed beside the fluorite. After getting the answer, she couldn't help complaining, "Wise guys talk like this? It's like a riddle."

   The prophet is like this, and Socrates is like this, it seems that he can't speak normally.

  Anyway, they've got the artifact fragments, and they can go back tomorrow and fix everything.

  If Artifact Fragments really resist Shymfast's contamination.

  After dinner, they lay down on the soft blankets and fell asleep.

  Purse and Ophelia read the book for a while, he yawned: "Miss Ophelia, I'm going to bed."

   "Good night." Ophelia said without looking up.

   "Good night, Miss Ophelia."

  Puseus lay between Lu Li and Ophelia, curled up, and covered his face with his two tails to block his peeping eyes.

   The whimpering sound of wind and snow resounded outside the house, and the colliding wooden boards were like knocking on the door that never stopped.

   The living room of the hut was silent for a moment, and the lying down Purse slowly got up and leaned towards Lu Li.

  Lu Li and Katerina were fast asleep, the eldest sister fell asleep with her head on Lu Li's arm, the businessman was standing in the corner, and Ophelia was reading a book.

  No one noticed that Purseus secretly picked up the fragments beside Lu Li, walked silently into the darkness leading to the second floor, and got into the gap formed by the tables and chairs.

   A charred palm suddenly grabbed its hind legs, and a hoarse voice sounded.

"Where are you going?"

  …

   "Then... murmured me to take you back to Belfast."

  Puseus sat by the oil lamp, drooping his ears in guilt.

   It almost made the unforgivable mistake.

   "Why don't you tell us."

  Caterina asked coldly, and understood why Pusius had nightmares for several days in a row,

   "I...don't dare, I'm afraid of being driven away by you."

  Purse's sobbing made it difficult for Katerina to continue questioning, and she couldn't help thinking about herself. Even if it is myself, it is difficult to return to the days when it was difficult to survive.

   But betrayal is unforgivable.

   "Why did you steal the artifact fragment." Katarina gritted her teeth.

   "Your goal is it, I will take it away and you will come to me..."

   "What is it that confuses you, is it related to pollution?"

   Lu Li, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke up.

   "I don't know..." Perseus shook his head in confusion, his youthful face showed pain and raised his head and said, "Mr. Lu Li, please drive me away, I'm afraid I can't control it any longer..."

  Katerina was silent, she said no, only Lu Li could decide.

   "No, we'll solve your problem when we find Anna." Lu Li said calmly.

   "Really...really?"

  Puseus raised his head excitedly, but saw that Lu Li had already lay down and rested.

   Joy, excitement, and many other nurturing emotions were choked back and shouted.

   "The weak also have the advantage of being weak."

   Katarina muttered in relief, and went back to her blanket. She has to travel tomorrow morning.

   The episode titled Betrayal is easily skipped. No one seemed to care, except for Prius. Even Katerina just satirized a few words to keep an eye on Purseus and make trouble.

   An uneasy night passed for Purseus.

  In the early morning, everyone who woke up finished their breakfast, put on their bloated clothes, and pushed the door into the knee-deep snow.

After   , Purse walked into the snow wall along their footprints, and suddenly found a letter hidden in the snow.

   It was placed at the door of the hut last night.

   Ophelia opened it, looked at it, and handed it to Lu Li.

   Lu Li reached out and took it.

  【Stranger Guest:】

  【Hello, we sincerely invite you to join our party tonight in the square】

   "Spooky invitation to occupy this place."

  Lu Li replied to Katarina and Physius' gaze.

   Weird had noticed their intrusion, but hadn't noticed that there were two humans mixed in.

   Quietly staring at the depths of the hazy city, Lu Li retracted his gaze.

   "We have to leave quickly."
