Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 282 One hundred and ninety-seven. End

   Chapter 282 One Hundred Ninety Seven. End

  The quiet bedroom where there is only the sound of rain, a pair of rain boots stepped into

  The rain boots bypassed the pile of meat mud and half of the face wrapped in the clothes, and stopped in front of the ancient book not far away.

  The ancient books that fell on the floor were re-folded.

  The palm fell, the slender fingers picked up the ancient book, took it back, and quietly retreated into the shadow behind the door.

  …

   On the street, the night watchmen who were waiting in the rain saw a figure walking out from under the eaves.

  Lu Li picked up the umbrella Thomas had left in front of the door, opened it up, and walked towards the night watchmen.

   "The...thing in your hand, it gives me a very bad feeling."

   Anna's whisper came from her ear.

"It has ended."

  Lu Li answered Anna and Priss who looked at him in doubt.

  Price and the others quietly pulled away some distance, and their eyes fell on the open door behind Lu Li: "Thomas is still inside?"

"Um."

   That's true.

  Price tilted his head and said, "Ma... No. David, you go to contact the outside, the pollutants have been taken out and they are ready to receive. We are here waiting for another investigator."

   "No need, just contact the staff directly to deal with the follow-up." Lu Li suddenly said.

  Price and David, who was about to leave, paused and looked at Lu Li with inquiring eyes: "What's the problem?"

"he died."

  Lu Li said succinctly, thought about it, and added: "Death to carelessness."

   and variables.

  Thomas acts boldly and dangerously—often only by people who know nothing about weirdness.

   Even Lu Li seemed to think that his actions were just a bit of a risky move, rather than intentionally seeking death. Lu Li's prompt was just out of some kind of vigilance.

   Both Thomas and Lu Li knew one thing: Petra came home with the ancient book and read it, she herself had no problem, the only problem was the infected furniture.

   So Thomas looked at it too, and was killed by his clothes that suddenly gave birth to consciousness.

  Thomas died of experience.

   - Hunters often die at the mouth of their prey.

"It's a pity..." Price said, perhaps because he had seen too many deaths, there was no sentimentality in his tone, and he arranged it as usual: "Just in case, please stay here with pollutants, we Will keep a distance from you until follow-up personnel arrive."

"Um."

  Lu Li didn't think there was a problem with the arrangement, and he really needed to be on guard when he was holding the ancient book - especially after a senior investigator died of the ancient book.

   He was holding an umbrella, standing not far from Petra's house, thinking quietly about something.

  For example, Thomas's death was too sudden and didn't even give him a chance to reflect. Compared with him, Petra's experience was quite forgiving. She was not eaten by the house until she woke up seven days later.

   What caused the two encounters to be different?

  The understanding of the ancient book Lu Li is too little to analyze. Perhaps the ancient books have undergone some kind of change this week, perhaps... an ironic possibility—

  Petra was not wearing clothes when he read the ancient book.

   Compared to this, Lu Li believed that the reason was other reasons.

   After all, an old man in his 60s who reads a book without clothes in his bedroom is as emotionally impacted as facing a monster.

  After a while, the house woke up, and the vicious call filled Lu Chen's space again, and it knew nothing about what happened before -- not at all, at least it was chewing continuously.

   After waiting for another tens of minutes, a figure appeared in the rain curtain on the street.

   A small group of night watchmen came.

   The group of night watchmen wearing the same raincoats as Pulis and others stopped a dozen meters away, and two figures walked out, one towards Pulis and the others, and the other towards Lu Li.

   The night watchman who approached Lu Li was carrying a leather suitcase in his hand. He came to Lu Li, opened the suitcase and lay it flat, and said to Lu Li, "Please put the pollutants in the box."

   Some rain splashed into the case and wet a small circle of leather.

   The inside of the box is empty, nothing special.

   Lu Li did as he did. After the ancient books were put into the box, the night watchman closed the suitcase, snapped it, and then returned to the team members.

   There seemed to be some kind of strange chewing noise from the box, which disappeared into the rain as the Night's Watch walked away.

   The figure walking towards Pulis was approaching Lu Li at this moment, and under the hood was a young face with freckles. She held a pocket-sized alarm clock the size of her fist and motioned for Lu Li to stretch out her hand.

   She wants to check whether Lu Li's shoelaces are contagious.

   "It may be a little painful, please bear with it." The female night watchman said, twisting the clockwork of the alarm clock and pressing it against Lu Li's outstretched palm.

   There was a sudden burning pain in the position of the clockwork in the palm, Lu Li frowned, staring at the alarm clock malfunctioning as the three hands moved rapidly at the same time.

   After a few seconds, she took off the alarm clock and said to Lu Li, "Congratulations, Investigator Lu Li, you have no problem."

   The group of night watchmen who distanced themselves from them walked towards Lu Li and the others. The leader was a tall man with thick hair, and the edge of his fluffy beard was stained with some dew-like drops of water.

   This guy knew Price and was talking to him.

  Lu Li walked up to them: "What are you going to do with this house?"

   "These houses that turned into evil things will be destroyed after recording, don't worry." The bearded captain looked at Lu Li and said. "Next we have to check all the houses and residents in this block, you get out of here first."

   "Then I'll leave it to you." Pulis nodded at him and said to Lu Li, "Let's go together."

  The matter was coming to an end, and Lu Li, who had completed the incident, followed Pulis to leave Elm Street, and crossed the raised cordon back to Little Leif Street.

   A large number of police officers and a small group of night watchmen are still here. Lu Li, Pulis and others were taken to a tavern by the alliance staff who were waiting here.

  This place was temporarily requisitioned by them as a resting place. Hot water and food beds were readily available. It seemed that they had prepared for a long period of vigilance.

  Lu Li was brought to the front of the guest room by an alliance officer and told him that hot water, food and medicine were ready.

   Considering that he had been in the rain for a long time, Lu Li did not refuse these three arrangements.

   walked into the room to take off his clothes, and Lu Li got into the barrel. The warm hot water that covered the whole body dispelled the chill in the depths of the body, and the heat rose, filling the room like mist.

   A strangeness suddenly appeared in the mid-air of the room, and the mist swirled somewhere in the air, revealing a vaguely human-shaped silhouette.

   "Anna?"

   Lu Li's black eyes fell on the outline of the human figure.

  The water mist was rolled, and the invisible silhouette fled.

  Lu Li silently retracted his gaze

   But at this moment, an illusory and transparent figure suddenly emerged from the door.

   "It's not that I'm coming in."

   Anna, who got into the door, turned her head away, not daring to look at Lu Li, and said awkwardly, "You...why are you calling me..."

  Lu Li suddenly narrowed his eyes.
