Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 1094 32. The Ghosts of Gwynne
Chapter 1094 Thirty-two. The Ghost of Gwen Block
One of Belfast's first neighbourhoods, Gwynne has a long-standing reputation.
When the city prefix is not added with the old.
At that time, it was a bustling and bustling business district, and it was also a gathering place for the rich and famous.
Today, Gwyn Street is like all parts of old Belfast - in ruins, with crumbling houses everywhere.
Lu Li, who took the visible potion, walked on the broken bluestone street, the prosperity of the past and the dilapidation of the present split his memory.
These crumbling houses that collapse at any time with a tiny shake seem to have a higher chance of killing Lu Li than the weird ones hiding in dark corners
In front of a complete two-story house, Lu Li stopped briefly. The surrounding houses either collapsed into ruins or stood with only mutilated walls, and the reason why it stood there was quite clear—it was a stone house.
It is stronger than the surrounding dangerous houses that are just as dangerous as weird, and more importantly, the manifesting potion allows Lu Li to perceive the breath of the inner world permeating behind the window.
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at the upstairs curtains that seemed to be swaying gently by the breeze.
The breath in perception is far from the window.
The breath is not strong, even unexpectedly thin. And there are usually only two possibilities: the weirdness in the house is really weak, or it tricked the manifesting potion.
Considering that the Gwen neighborhood is close to the Agate Lake camp and the ruined reptile nest, the weirdness here will not be the latter, and Lu Li stepped into the house.
Ignoring the looted downstairs hall, Lu Li went straight up the stairs.
The house is in good condition, which means that the promenade is dark and no light can penetrate. Standing in front of the last few steps, Lu Li raised the oil lamp.
Da da--
The sound of bouncing and bouncing in a disturbing silence suddenly came from the front room, and a glass bead Gulu rolled out from the crack of the door and got into the opposite room.
Ignoring the strange phenomenon, Lu Li walked into the corridor.
dadadadada——
A dozen or so glass beads were noisy, scrambling to roll across the corridor, crawl through door cracks or slam into walls.
Lu Li paused slightly, approaching the room where the glass beads rolled out.
"Cough cough cough..."
A cold and old cough suddenly came from behind the door and echoed in the corridor.
Ignoring the crappy, almost ridiculous trick, Lu Li stood in front of the door where there was an obscure atmosphere, holding the doorknob.
The locked door remained motionless.
stepped back a little, Lu Li was about to kick open the rotten wooden door, the door was slowly opened at this time.
Old and dilapidated houses, dark corners where the sun does not shine, the thin tuxedo figure hangs under the ceiling fan, shaking slightly, the **** eyes behind the messy hair stare at the uninvited guest.
Click——
responded to it with the sound of a psychic gun hammering.
"Wait, please wait...I didn't want to hurt you!" A panic shouted, and the tuxedo ghost raised his hands.
So it's alive.
"I recognize this gun... it's an exorcist's weapon! How can you have it!"
"I am the exorcist."
"Are you telling a joke? Here? Exorcist?" The tuxedo ghost made an inappropriately funny laugh, touching Lu Li's quiet black eyes and quickly shut up: "Sorry... I just didn't think there were exorcists in the world."
"You've been here?"
Lu Li did not hesitate to talk to a ghost who could communicate. The ghost image in the tuxedo is a haggard and thin middle-aged man with long curly brown hair like noodles on either side of his long face.
"Yes, always..."
Its mood became silent: "That storm killed me...Let me get lost in the wilderness, I don't know how long it has passed...I saw the sun falling and thought the world was back, but I was surrounded by familiar and unfamiliar sights , and finally I came back here, back to my home, but the family I once had is no longer..."
Lu Li lowered his palms, his eyes fell on the corroded photo frame on the corner cabinet, approached under the gaze of the tuxedo ghost, turned slightly sideways to it, and picked up the photo frame.
"Are you Login Mitchell?"
The tuxedo ghost who didn't take the opportunity to attack nodded: "How do you know my name, that's right, I'm Michelle, that's a photo of me and my wife on their wedding anniversary—"
"I don't know." Lu Li turned to look at it, and put down the photo frame that was mixed into pieces due to the shaking: "It's a name I made up randomly."
"Uh...I lied, I just forgot the ghosts of the homeless past."
The tuxedo ghost reveals the truth, or a second lie: "I guess I left with Belfast, then hid on the back of the hill out of fear, and ran back a few months ago. I love it here, love the sun, and will Reminds me of when nothing happened and I was alive. But it's too dangerous here, only near the top of the mountain without those monsters..."
"Why didn't you become a Wraith." Lu Li asked.
"Become what?"
"A ghost will become a wraith if it absorbs too much of the world's breath."
Killing humans or weirdos would do, but apparently the tuxedo ghost didn't do that.
"What is the inner world?"
"An obscure aura surging around you, dragging you into the abyss."
"I see... You are talking about something that will come out when my mood is fluctuating..." The tuxedo ghost was stunned. "I was afraid of it, so I avoided it, and I did it right!"
"Do you know the situation in old Belfast." Lu Li interrupted its joy.
The tuxedo ghost shook his head, he always hid in the house and never left.
"We set up camp around Onyx Lake, you can go there and take refuge."
"Refuge...you won't kill me?" Its joy is even stronger.
"Have you ever attacked a human being?" Lu Li put the psychic gun into the holster while it watched.
"No! I'll go right now!" The tuxedo ghost's mind gradually became active, but it had nothing to do with Lu Li: "Can I take them away..."
It quietly points to glass beads, by-products of industrialization but always popular for their delicateness and cheapness.
Lu Li nodded and allowed, the tuxedo ghost quickly pocketed the glass beads that rolled down the corridor and next door, and followed him back downstairs.
"You are an exorcist, so do you know the reason for this place?"
The tuxedo ghost points to the sun shining through the broken window frame.
"The ancients sacrifice themselves to disperse the clouds."
then gave the land to him.
Lu Li, who stepped on the street, suddenly stopped and realized a key point: Mother of the Swamp, did they really feel at ease to come out to practice?
But they do allow and condone and give up protection, does this mean that...the crown of knowledge conceals something.
"Mother of the Swamp." Lu Li whispered.
"I'm here, what's the matter."
The words of the Swamp Mother resounded in my mind.
"...just guessed the truth."
"I won't leave for the time being, you can go directly to the human camp by the Agate Lake." Lu Li said to the tuxedo ghost.
"Of course, I'll be waiting for you there."
The tuxedo ghost laughed, and after drifting deep into the street and turning into an invisible alley, the tuxedo ghost spat viciously: "I'm not stupid, trying to deceive my smart Boss Parker? I won't go on. Yours!"
The tuxedo ghost who was going to hide in another place turned and floated away, but some invisible force came at this time, took over the consciousness of the tuxedo ghost, and drifted numbly to the Onyx Lake camp.
