Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 873 One hundred and sixty-four. Forget me not

  Lu Li had a bizarre dream.

   He dreamed that everything had not happened yet, or in other words, a scene was switched.

  In the exotic West, a peninsula seaport city named Bell, he opened a small detective agency to make a living.

   In those days, he met Anna through a commission, and she often came to the detective agency to help, and his love was born.

   It is hard to forget the figure in white dress in front of the bright sunshine and blue sea.

   But life in a foreign country is not peaceful, no matter the politics or the law and order. The creditor came to the door, the attitude of him and his men was disgusting, and Anna quarreled with them, and finally turned into hands.

   Lu Li scuffled with them, but the creditor pulled out his pistol from under the belt of his trousers, and a gunshot rang out with blood splashing——

   He lost her.

  The mottled color of the dream faded, and Lu Li slowly woke up with the pain in the back of his head.

   The oil lamp on the desk was dimly lit, illuminating the depressed and dark underground room.

   They replace the bright world in the dream, only one thing remains the same.

   He lost her.

"I'm asleep?"

   Lu Li propped up his body and leaned against the cold wall.

  The swelling at the back of the head was relieved by the pain when it hit the wall, and was relieved by the cold.

   "Yes... passed out."

   Ophelia walked out the door and said to Bishop Jon and other believers who were waiting outside the door.

   "He...was awake."

   When Lu Li fainted, Ophelia doubted everything here and forbids the followers of the Church of Shadows to approach.

   They were also religious enough not to step into the room.

   Now that Lu Li woke up, his previous coma had nothing to do with these heretics, and his suspicions were lifted.

"come in."

  Bishop Jon and the two believers stepped into the room with fear and excitement, as if they were walking into a church where the gods were watching with compassion.

   "The letter...Written...what." Ophelia asked.

   "Nothing."

   "Then...why are you...in a coma?"

   When the incomprehensible question sounded, Ophelia suddenly felt a dreadful aura swallowing him.

  The earth was shaking, the dust rustled down, and the muffled sound echoed in the corridor outside the door.

  The cultists came to tell them that some kind of unwatchable existence passed above the stone forest——

  Ophelia suddenly looked at Lu Li, her once quiet black eyes seemed to be broken, lost their vitality and turned gray, as if they resonated with the existence on the ground.

   "Do you want to... come again... again?" she asked suddenly.

"what."

   Lu Li's eyes turned, but there was no focus.

   "You should have confidence in...she..."

   said Ophelia.

   "I believe...she...can come back."

   This speaks to Lu Li more than any consolation.

   The dreaded aura slowly disappeared, and the giant objects on the ground that did not pass by by chance gradually disappeared.

   "Before this..., you have to... live... and... welcome her... back with beauty."

   "Like... this... world... itself."

"this world?"

  Lu Li's pupils gradually converged.

   "You are... an exorcist."

   "You are to... this... world, like... craftsmen who build... houses,... carpenters... repair... furniture,... painters... who paint... walls."

   "I'll... help you, just like... once... Anna."

   Ophelia's hoarse voice spoke movingly.

   "Save...this...collapsed...world, start with...partners..."

  The missing Katerina and Andrea, the contaminated Purse, the weak Annie, and the Remy siblings who are suspected of migrating to Paradise Valley.

  Lu Li was finally calmed down by Ophelia's comfort.

   But who knew it wasn't anything the drowning person subconsciously grabbed to survive.

   Lu Li's current situation is not suitable for rushing in the fog tide and the eternal night. The wandering weirdness likes the soul of this lost person.

   They rested for a day in the stone forest.

During the    period, Bishop Jon swore to Lu Li that they would pay any price in order to find the Lord.

   Church of Shadows, like Lu Li, are following Anna's footsteps.

The only difference    is that they are thirsting for Ana's power.

   And Lu Li just wanted to find Anna herself.

  Lu Li gave Bishop Jon a new mission to the Church of Shadows.

   "Find her."

The    oil lamp pulled Bishop Jon's shadow into a long and narrow shape, and the ragged outline of the cloak was like a monster, which made Lu Li think that they were pagans, they believed in evil spirits, and they sacrificed humans.

   This was wrong in Lu Li's eyes, but maybe it was him. Even if human beings no longer obey the old laws, how can a group of pagans be bound by the old treaties?

   "Don't take the initiative to harm humans." Lu Li still added.

  Bishop Jon bowed his head respectfully.

   Luli is one with their Lord, what he says is what the Lord says, and they obey unconditionally, even if it means dying.

   Ophelia looked at these with relief, feeling that this was a scene of Lu Li's improvement - even though the change was so fast that she didn't say more words of comfort.

   "But you should continue resting."

   "It will be difficult to control your thoughts during a rest." Lu Li shook his head lightly.

  The longer he was idle, the sooner the surging sadness and confusion squeezed from the cracks overwhelmed him.

   Being busy is the only way to stay sane.

  Lu Li asked Bishop Jon to continue.

   "Also, due to your investigation, Wiener Antifreeze is arresting our members, and two believers have been detained by them."

  Bishop Jon did not complain about this, but only stated the facts.

"when."

   "Seven days ago and three days ago."

   Lu Li's quiet memories.

   Mayor Mateus did not say that they caught any of the Shadow Church believers, and the only believer found was still in the dark tracking stage.

   "Who is the captor."

   "The Tribunal."

   The question is whether Mayor Mateus or the Inquisition...

  Lu Li looked at the businessman Anthony in the corner: "Contact Mayor Mateus, and he said that the Tribunal arrested two Shadow Church believers three days ago and seven days ago."

   Soon after, the merchant took out Mayor Mateus' letterhead.

   There is only a simple line of "I know, I'll check it out".

  Ugly politics and power, even on the verge of death, a group of insatiable people still cling to them.

   But it could also be suspicion of Lu Li.

   In the early morning of the third day, the swelling on the back of Lu Li's head had subsided, and it was time for them to leave.

  Bishop Jon hoped that they could follow Lu Li on the road, but they were refused, and even the people who served were not left behind by Ophelia's insistence.

   She still doesn't trust this group of shadow church guys.

   But Bishop Jon told Lu Li the contact information of all their strongholds, and Lu Li also left a few boxes of eyeballs calling for businessmen. It's a pity that there is a lack of merchants, otherwise, a merchant can be left in the stone forest and let the Church of Shadow accept Lu Li's arrangement at any time.

   Before leaving, Lu Li took out the book,

   A white arm blocked him.

   "It's waiting, not giving up." Anna's clear eyes were close at hand.

   "It's cumbersome to carry too many books." Lu Li replied with lowered eyes.

   Ophelia, who was sorting her clothes, turned to look.

  Anna didn't say anything, just tore off the page of paper with the content and put it into Lu Li's hands.

   whispered softly in his ear.

"Do not forget me……"
