Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 863 One hundred and fifty-four. His name is Lu Li, an exorcist

   Katerina and the others broke into the shack because of howling.

   They saw Lu Li with a cold expression, the headless corpse under his feet, and the corroded sleeves and arms.

   Katarina rushed to Lu Li's side, took off the water bladder and poured clean water on her palms.

  This is of no use, the mucus still stubbornly adheres to Lu Li's palm, corrodes the skin, and devours deeper flesh.

   "Give the artifact to Mr. Lu Li!"

  Prius shouted at this time, and Katarina woke up and shoved the artifact fragment into Lu Li's palm.

  The intractable mucus dissipated in an instant with the pollution, but Ophelia suddenly radiated fiery temperature around her.

   "What's the matter?" Katarina pulled out her dagger and solidified the body.

   "Who is... casting... watching!"

   Ophelia is looking elsewhere.

   The obscure aura that emerged from the void was not completely dissipated by the pagans, but instead became more intense, converging into a real malice, and it suddenly overflowed.

  Except the businessman and Lu Li, everyone hugged their heads and screamed, each delirium squeezed into the depths of their trembling minds.

  Deep sea, waves, silt, ruins.

   They form a picture scroll that comes to an abrupt end in rupture before revealing the truest fears beneath the deep sea.

   Katarina gasped violently and opened her bloodshot eyes.

  Lu Li lowered his black eyes as if he had woken up from a deep sleep.

   The artifact fragments in the palms were completely turned into powder and stained with flesh and blood.

   It blocked most of the pollution for them.

"what is that……!"

   Katarina let out a low growl between the seams, she could hardly concentrate, and countless residual delirium afterimages fluttered in front of her eyes.

   "It...believes...the existence...perceives...us."

  The bloodshot eyes turned to the large shedding hair of Purseus.

   "We are cursed?"

"No."

   Ophelia's breath gradually stabilized.

   "The artifact...withstands...the curse, for the most part."

   There is still a small amount of contamination in their minds, and they need to cultivate now to get rid of the terrifying effects of that perception.

   "You go back first."

  Lu Li unscrewed the kettle, washed the blood and lime left on his palms, and wrapped the bandages round and round.

   "I still have work to do."

   "The Miraculous Fragment has been destroyed, and we can no longer remove the curse here." Katarina frowned while covering her forehead.

   "I won't leave the cemetery."

   But the place of purification remains.

   "Then we will wait for you in the house outside, as soon as possible. He is aware of us and may come at any time."

   Katarina spoke hoarsely, she couldn't hold it anymore.

   They left the shack, and Ophelia and the merchant were driven away.

   Lu Li was the only one left in the cemetery.

   After they left, Lu Li stepped over the pagan corpse and picked up the white skull on the wooden frame.

   A skull with a hollow orbit is indistinguishable from other skulls.

  Lu Li took it out of the hut, crossed the path back to Anna's tombstone, and stepped into the tomb.

   Gently lower the skull, gather the surrounding bones, and put them into the tomb one by one.

   Put the last leg bone in place, silently crawled out of the tomb, Lu Li found the broken shovel at a mutilated tombstone not far away, shoveled up the soil mixed with snow, and buried the bones.

Snapped--

  The shovel was thrown aside, and the tomb was completely filled.

  Lu Lijing stood in front of the tombstone. Before leaving, he took out a book that was always in his inner pocket and put rough soil on it.

   "Love in Belfast"

  This is Anna's favorite book.

  …

  bang bang bang.

   Ophelia turned to the knocking door.

   opened the door, Lu Li with black hair stained with snowflakes stood outside the door.

"ended?"

"Um."

  Lu Li picked up the kettle they had left outside the door and walked into the room.

   Ophelia then closed the door.

   They moved the bed from the bedroom to the living room, and Katarina lay on it.

   "Miss Katarina's condition is not very good."

  Prusius said.

  He and Ophelia are weird, the pollution itself won't be able to hurt them, only the consciousness it contains. As a human being, Katarina is affected by both pollution and consciousness.

  As a hunter who has always survived in the wilderness, Katarina's sanity has long approached a critical point.

   "Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm fine."

   Katarina retorted weakly: "The stone flakes blocked the pollution, and the rest of the trouble is not difficult for me to sting..."

   She is trying to be brave, but it also means that the worst is not yet.

   "Tell me about you, what happened at that time actually made you... angry."

   Ophelia and Physius looked at Lu Li.

   After a brief silence, Lu Li said, "Speak on the road."

  Return along the same road you came from, and arrive at the wooden wall.

   Ophelia walked out of the wooden wall with Katarina's hand.

  Lu Li looked back and saw the spire of the church in the west of the city looming under the flakes of snow.

   stared silently for a moment, he bowed his head and stepped out of the wooden wall in the call of his companions.

  …

   On the way back, they quietly listened to Lu Li's indifferent story of what happened in the shack.

   "So what's going on, those bones... are Anna's body?"

   Katarina was incomprehensible: "But why did she become a human and was eaten by the pagans...killed."

   "Ana is looking for a way to bring the dead back to life." Lu Li said.

   "The dead come back to life... You mean she resurrected herself..."

  Although it was hard to keep thinking, Katarina understood what Ana had been doing all along.

  Ana thinks that Lu Li is dead, and in order to revive Lu Li, she finds a way to bring the dead back to life. She almost succeeded and brought herself back to life on the body, but was attacked by heretics...died.

   "We haven't met the tree and the brown car yet!" cried Prius, who was walking in the footsteps of the crowd.

  Katerina propped up her dazed head: "Puseus is right, and no matter what Anna is in your heart, she is an evil spirit... It is impossible to be killed by a weak pagan."

   "She's still alive..."

   Lu Li whispered.

   "Well! The Prophet must know something, let's ask him again." Prius said.

   Katerina looked: "Has the voice bewitched you again?"

   "What?" Pusius was stunned, raised his head and asked, "Did I just say what I said back to Belfast?"

   "The Prophet is in Belfast."

   "I...I don't know..."

   Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's that the consciousness of Purseus is being imperceptibly.

  Anyway, they're going to Belfast again.

   found Anna, but the people who got less than good results returned to the coast, boarded Andrea, and sailed towards Belfast.

During the period of   , a message came from the ice-free port of Wiener.

   "I heard that you entered Simfast?" Mayor Mateus asked.

  There are businessmen in the ice-free port of Wiener, and Mayor Mateus wants to know the whereabouts of Lu Li is not troublesome.

   "Ask him what's the matter."

   Lu Li became more silent than before, and Katarina could only ask her.

   After waiting for a moment, the businessman brought back the news that the museum director wanted a collection of artworks from the Shim Astor Montali Art Museum.

   "Tell them that Shymfast can't get in again."

   Soon after, Mayor Mateus replied that it was regrettable, and he would convey it to the museum.
