Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 1209 One hundred and forty-seven. When preparing
Chapter 1209 One hundred and forty-seven. When preparing to proceed
The Allen Peninsula with a standard humid climate will enter a period of humid and overcast rainy days before the long rainy season.
Sluggish plants grow slowly due to lack of light, walls, clothes, beds, and all organic matter will grow moldy, and clothes and dried fish on the clothesline will never dry. Either moldy and hairy spots, or rotting out of the "crew".
No one likes the rainy season, not even kids who find it funny at all — that means continuous cloudy days and dank wet blankets and unpleasant illnesses.
But in the dark ages, even the rainy season is precious and cherished.
"Shadow of Twisting always wants to make fish fall with the rain, she would really do it if there is no freshwater lake nearby; Ophelia doesn't like the rainy season, I think she prefers the environment of hell; Elena has made the vortex people believe in her, Maybe we'll hear good news from her in a little while; Dracula, like Ophelia, if worse, unfortunately got a mildew spot on her nose. But don't worry, he's been placed in a burnt A dry room with a fireplace; children play well with human children, adults pity them and don’t prejudice them; apprentice exorcists thrive under Tesla’s teaching, I don’t want to accuse Hades, but he Not as good as this investigator; Ampere has grown in size and has doubled his food intake, but don't worry, we can afford it..."
The Swamp Mother told Lu Li about the land of light as usual, the difference from usual is that the rainy season is approaching.
"Yesterday the sun didn't show up, and the continuous rain in the gradually brighter land reminded me of you..."
Lu Li replied: "The situation here is indeed not very good. The Viscount is monitoring the territory more and more closely. I was forced to hide in the secret room. Dead weird complements humanity, but I want it."
"No... I'm talking about you slowly eroding the Viscount's power like the rainy season."
The Swamp Mother standing outside the whirlpool can see it more clearly than Lu Li: the four lords have already won the second, and one of the remaining two lords also knows the identity.
It's hard to do better.
"Maybe you want to save more people, but it's not necessary. Their deaths are irrelevant, you are not responsible..."
Not long after talking to the Swamp Mother, the door to the secret room was opened from the outside, and a bandaged figure stood outside.
The bat guard left temporarily, and Lu Li enjoyed his daily free time—but the time was getting shorter and shorter. It won't be long before the bat guards will be hovering over the manor day and night.
Time is running out for what Lu Li can do.
"Mother will have a dinner party at the castle tomorrow evening." Claire told about the new changes.
"What's the reason for having a dinner party?"
"There is no reason."
I don't know if the Viscount noticed anything, but there is no doubt that this banquet was either directed at Luli or at Dijuren.
"You should hide first, it's better to leave Midnight City..." Claire persuaded: "Wait for mother to disarm before coming back..."
No thief will steal when the owner is on guard.
But money-hungry thieves have no choice.
"We don't have enough time."
Lu Li did not take the suggestion. Neither the souls of the survivors of the night city nor the land dweller firm will give them much time. Therefore, even if the whereabouts were exposed to the eyes of the local people, Lu Li did not change his plans.
Maybe the mother of the swamp's consolation was right, but Lu Li didn't plan to accept it.
Lu Li asked Claire to tell him the details of this dinner. For example, the four lords will go there, and they will all rest overnight in the castle.
Then, as expected, the Viscount asked the servants to search every inch of the territory of the four lords... So Claire wanted Lu Li to leave the city of late night temporarily.
"I will enter the castle with you." Lu Li said in Claire's puzzlement: "She would not have thought that I would appear in the castle."
The person who falls into the dream is Lu Li's support. More critically, it's not known to weirdness. The Diju People's Firm still doesn't know how Lu Li escaped from the strange belly of the toad and escaped from the old sewers.
"Why not hide?"
"Because it's a great opportunity to meet farmers and chefs."
The farmer and the head chef, who are too far away and in the heavily guarded castle to keep Lu Li out of touch. But tomorrow's dinner will not be a problem - the lords will gather in the castle, and the castle's defenses will be weakened.
Of course, Lu Li won't be at the dinner party.
And before the action, Lu Li will discuss the details with Margaret and Asammons.
Although Claire resisted because of her slander of her mother, she had no longer doubted Asammons' identity - the dean was undoubtedly on their side, otherwise how could she explain that True Sight was in Asammons' hands superior?
Margaret only reminded Lu Li to pay attention to safety. After thinking about it, Asamon thought it was feasible, but he should be careful not to approach the core of the castle.
The dreamer cannot turn it on at all times, and no one knows whether there is a presence in the castle that can perceive Lu Li.
Leaving Asammons' dream and returning to the manor, Lu Li entered Claire's dream again, walking on the promenade with rich history and gorgeousness.
"Each lord has his own area in the castle."
Follow Claire up the spiral stairs, open the trapdoor, and a circular room overlooking the dark earth emerges in front of you.
"This is my room, the tower."
The curtain hanging in front of the window was blown away by the night wind. Claire rarely came to live here, but the lizard maid was always cleaning and taking care of it.
Then Claire led Lu Li to the farmer's guest room, the chef's kitchen, the gardener's garden, and finally to the auditorium with long tables.
Candlelight lit up, and the gardener, the farmer, the head chef, another Claire and the black-robed viscount appeared before and on both sides of the long table.
The unexpected accident happened suddenly, and a cold and gloomy whisper came from under the first black robe: "The intruder...you finally appeared."
Lu Li kept silent and stared at the Viscount, but she returned to silence and solidification after speaking.
Claire apologized in panic at this time, proving that it was just a false alarm: "This is an accident, I didn't control the dream..."
Her subconsciousness influenced the dreamland and made the Viscount speak.
"What is the Viscount's ability?" Lu Li asked Claire.
"I... don't know, I've never seen her use it."
Just in case, Lu Li temporarily withdrew to check the dream. There was no trace of the intruder, and it seemed to confirm that it was indeed an accident.
Returning to reality, Lu Li said goodbye to the reluctant Claire, quietly crossed the dead forest to the tomb, and then met Asammons in a dream.
Asammons will leave enough subconsciousness for the gardener to prepare the prey, and then until the dinner party arrives, Lu Li will stay in the gardener's territory to harvest humanity.
