Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 1203 One hundred and forty-one. The new soul

   Chapter 1203 One hundred and forty one. New soul

   Freshmen walked into the Canopy Auditorium with calls.

   The professors in the seats and the students in the long table welcomed them with applause.

  Lu Li stood quietly at the edge of the auditorium, as if he was isolated from the hustle and bustle, undetected and unnoticed.

   swept across every smiling, cheering, excited face in the auditorium.

not here.

  Lu Li stepped out of the auditorium and slowly pushed open the door with his palms against the door.

  The elder gatekeeper with his cloak swollen up like a brown bat sliding against the ground led the younger students through the corridor. Lu Li followed them and broke into the platform extending from the trunk layer.

   Eyeballs with wings floated in the air, and their pupils exuded fluorescence slightly brighter than fluorite, wandering in groups, like a broken moon shrouded in broken clouds.

   The lower graders huddled together like quails, daring not to spread out.

  Lu Li stepped out of the team, staring at the faces and figures of every student and professor.

   Not here either.

   Lu Li stepped up the steps and stepped into the swaying shadow.

  dadadada——

  Standing on both sides of the street crowded with residents, the camp participating in the March competition is slowly passing through the long street. Lu Li stared at the silhouettes passing by.

   is also not in the long line.

   Lu Li turned around and squeezed into the crowd. The surroundings suddenly became dark, and the sound of suppressed breathing sounded around. The players of the Giant Tree Academy were descending into the swamp on the elevator.

   squeezed between the players, looking at each exposed face.

   is not here either.

  Lu Li walked sideways through the gap formed by the two shoulders, as if passing through a fence gate, the extended street unfolded in front of him, and the silhouettes stood on both sides of the streets of Midnight City.

   Repeated this last journey, calmly observing each outline, but until approaching the circular square where the ancient stone seals were stored, the source of the gardener's soul could not be found.

   Lu Li got out of the dream and slowly woke up.

   "Who is it?" asked Claire, who was grooming the black cat with a wooden comb.

"did not find."

  Lu Li resumed sitting up, but he was also pleasantly surprised: "I found the No. 1 Lizard Maid."

"who is she?"

   "A senior who participated in the Triwizard Tournament, I don't know the name."

"how do you want to do it?"

   "Prepare a drawing board and pen for me."

  Lu Li left Claire and the comb: "Return the memory with the crown of dreams and knowledge, but let her believe it before that."

   There is no story, no contact, dreams and crowns of knowledge can only be used as weights, not evidence for the Lizard Maid to believe.

  Claire asked Lizard Maid No. 1 to bring what Lu Li needed, and continued to ask, "What about the gardener?"

   "You can skip it for now."

  Lu Li hasn't figured out how to help the gardener.

   "It won't say yes," said Claire, the gardener still anxiously awaiting the results.

   But to identify the gardener they had to narrow down who could be the lord - the farmer and the chef were the only targets.

  The lizard maid brought drawing boards, paints and pens, and was left by the head maid when she was going out.

   I hope she will be keenly aware of the changes the head maid has made to her and accept the truth.

  Let Claire spread the drawing board on the carpet, Lu Li grabbed the brush with his cat's paw, and painted on the drawing board with paint. But without the apocalypse book, Lu Li's paintings can barely distinguish obvious features such as long hair and hooked nose.

   "I didn't expect Xiao Leimi's style to be so childlike." Claire's snickering laughter was carried to every corner of the bedroom by the breeze.

   "You can just say that the painting is ugly."

  Lu Li gave up painting the gardener's soul and the lizard maid he saw, and released the dreamer instead.

   "Will it watch too?" Claire looked at the Lizard Maid.

   "If you're ready to tell them the truth now."

  Claire decided to let the Lizard Maid stay after hesitating. They need help, the more the better.

   Removed the drawing board, Lu Li jumped onto the desk, the dream blurred from behind, and the outline of the gardener curled up in the body emerged.

   "I don't know either..."

  Claire said she certainly didn't remember. Lu Li then imagined a robed woman with long flaxen hair standing beside him, holding a crystal ball.

   "This is a dou."

  Black cat pupil looked at the lizard maid.

   "I don't understand what the guest said." The Lizard Maid said hoarsely.

  Claire took out "The Sunken Land" in cooperation: "The answer is in this book... Does it play out?"

   "No." Lu Li replied.

   They just ride on the same lift.

  Claire continued: "Although you didn't show up, your past is tied to the story."

   Facing the book handed in front of her, the lizard maid lowered her head: "Master, I don't know how to read."

"Uh……"

   The euphoric wandering breeze stagnated for a moment.

   "You can tell her."

   "Why didn't Xiao Leimi speak?"

  Claire resisted, and then knew that Lu Li was going to sneak into the castle or the Scarlet Farm. Claire suggested the latter, and she did it - the "strange shadows" they created made the bat monsters frequently linger around the territory, the castle became a forbidden area, and it was difficult for the farm to sneak in.

"Then I'll leave the storytelling to Xiao Leimi." Claire took off Lu Li's bow, patted the cat's head intimately, and restored the indifference of the superior when talking to the lizard maid: "You can take Xiao Leimi's words as mine. , no disobedience, no refutation, and any arrangement must be followed.”

"Yes Master."

  Claire leaves from the terrace. The lizard maid closed the patio door and stood quietly in front of the desk where Lu Li was sitting.

   Lu Li instructed the lizard maid to open the drawer, take out the stomach bag to find the sleeping potion from a pile of potions, and then let the lizard maid take it—going to sleep without resistance.

   There is a better way to make the Lizard Maid understand this than to dryly recite the text that has lost a lot of information entropy, and that is to let her experience the story of "The Sunken Land" for herself.

   Even if she never played.

   After the lizard maid fell asleep, Lu Li also entered a dream, blending into the mottled halo, awakening the consciousness of the lizard maid, and then began the story of "The Sunken Land".

  Led by Lu Li, the Lizard Maid experienced his long story. When it came back to reality, only ten minutes had passed in the outside world.

   "This is your story."

   It's just that the Lizard Maid's quest to find her memory doesn't quite work out for Claire because she's not in the story.

  Lu Li couldn't even pronounce her name.

   "Let me know if you have any questions."

   Lu Li's encouragement did not allow the confused lizard maid to tell her heart, she maintained a self-consciousness similar to intoxication, unable to control chaos.

   Maybe Lu Li will find many survivors of the late night city who still have souls, but their tragic fate will not change - like the amnesiac lizard maid, this will also become the common fate of many souls.

   They are destined to not be able to go back to the past. They can only lose their memory of the past like walking corpses and start life again in a weird way.

   Maybe telling them the truth would be a different kind of cruelty.
