Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 363 Two hundred and seventy-eight. Aftermath
Chapter 363
The mansion of Baron Joseph, viewing terrace.
Here you can overlook the whole Belfast and the sea outside Crescent Bay.
The fragrance and coolness of the earth cover up the depression and dullness in the air. The heavy rain has temporarily stopped, but is about to make a comeback.
The dark clouds in the distance covered the sea, and dark purple lightning surged in the depths of the clouds.
It won't be long before that storm cloud reaches Belfast.
The Baron was wrapped in a blanket, hunched in a chaise longue and looking out at the scenery, while the housekeeper was putting on a new gauze for her.
The baron suddenly said of Sarah: "She is actually very pitiful."
Lu Li looked at her, his eyes stopped at her legs.
The baron knew what he meant, and angrily grabbed a ball of blood-stained gauze and threw it at Lu Li.
The fluffy gauze had no strength, but Sheng was only one round table away from Lu Li and she was close enough. When it was about to land on Lu Li, the gauze stopped in mid-air and collected it back at a faster speed - hanging on the baron's hair.
"This is not the reason why she killed." Lu Li felt the peace and quiet after escaping from death.
The baron took the gauze and wanted to throw it in a ball, but was snatched away by the housekeeper, and said in a generally dispassionate tone: "Please pay attention to the majesty of the nobles."
"Majesty? It's already gone from my legs." The baron raised his leg and said, the neatly severed leg's cross-section was clearly visible.
The Baron was glad he couldn't see this.
"Is there a wheelchair?" Lu Li looked at the housekeeper.
The butler lowered his head slightly and replied, "I have already contacted the craftsman to make it. Thank you for your concern for the baron."
"Lulu!" The baron complained that the butler said unfamiliar words, and leaned closer to Lu Li with his chin up: "How do you feel about this place? The scenery, the food..."
The baron blinked his long and narrow eyes: "And beautiful women."
Compared to seducing Lu Li, the baron with bad taste is more like testing Anna's endurance limit.
The baron's words reminded Lu Li of something, and he asked, "Do you know about the construction of the shelter?"
"What is that... wait are you changing the subject?"
"You mean the sanctuary plan announced by the Exorcist United Organization?" the housekeeper Lulu said.
"Yes, and what is the Exorcist United Organization?" Lu Li asked. He knew very little about the outside world during the ten days of dealing with the shadow of the thread incident.
The housekeeper briefly stated that the Exorcist United Organization is a loose organization composed of investigators, night watchmen, slayer associations and alliances, which aims to integrate intelligence and resources.
This act of condensing palms into fists verifies Lu Li's pessimistic views from the side.
The baron snorted deliberately, but no one paid her any attention.
The butler continued: "They did invite the Baron a week ago, but at that time we were busy dealing with the shadow of the thread, and I was put off."
"Why don't I know?" the baron interjected.
"I've told you all this, but your reply at the time was 'what kind of a ghost organization is that? I'm going to evacuate when I'm dying, why don't you care'" The butler imitated the baron's voice.
"Uh..." The baron closed his mouth and blinked.
"Do you have any suggestions?" the housekeeper said to Lu Li.
Lu Li replied: "Contact them and hide in the shelter as soon as possible."
"Very dangerous?" The housekeeper asked back, she is a smart person, and a little information is enough for her to guess what.
Lu Li didn't promote his point of view: "Just in case, as nobles, you should be aware of this."
Continuity is more important to nobles than growth.
The butler bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your reminder, I will contact them on behalf of the baron later."
After talking about business, the butler continued to clean up the wound for the baron.
The black shovel in the story prevents germs from appearing on the wound, but the heavy rain and splashed mud spots still make the Baron a hidden danger of infection, and he needs to disinfect and take medicine regularly.
The same is true for Lu Li, but his injuries are very minor. After examination, Dr. Mist confirmed that there was no internal injury or infection. He only needs to change the gauze once a day.
was picked up by Anna, who was hiding in the void, and Lu Li walked to the back of the terrace, where you could see the Onyx Lake and the firewood house in the backyard.
The soil above the basement is savagely lifted, revealing a big hole, but it is empty inside - after the story is over, those things that should not exist in reality disappear, only the ripples on the lake after the stones are dropped.
The cordon was raised, the police officers stood outside the cordon, and the head maid accompanied several night watchmen in black uniforms to deal with the scene.
They are doing the aftermath, or removing the basement and the four corpses scattered outside.
David, Lola, Vincent, Petra. They were left here forever.
Petra and Vincent may know far more than Lu Li, but in front of the shadow of the thread, they are still like ordinary people, and there is no chance of confrontation.
Looking at this scene quietly, Lu Li tilted his head slightly and said to Anna, "Is it still not good?"
"Yeah." Anna's soft reply came from the void.
Anna couldn't control these leaked breaths at all, as if they didn't belong to her, but just leaked from the inner world through her own soul.
To a certain extent, Anna is now a moving source of pollution. Any life that is close to her and is enveloped by the breath of the inner world will reduce the sanity value.
The hidden danger is not only that, the inability to restrain her breath means that Anna will be sensed by other exorcists or ordinary people with high inspiration - just like Tesla reminded, most exorcists are extremely disgusted with weirdness.
"I should probably stay away from you." After a brief silence, Anna said softly.
I can't get close to the person I want to protect...
Pain grows in Anna's heart.
"What is the influence range of the breath?" Lu Li's voice sounded, he didn't care about it, and still let Anna support him.
"Maybe a few meters..."
"What about the dose? How long does it take to reduce Sanity a bit."
"I have no idea……"
"It's still the same as usual." Lu Li nodded.
Anyway, Anna doesn't always stick to her side.
"Then...do you still use me to support you?" Anna asked cautiously in the void.
"Um."
Looking back, Lu Li returned to the reclining chair.
After cleaning the wound, the butler was dressing the baron with gauze. The baron picked up the grapes and ate it. Looking at the dark clouds on the sea, he tilted his head and said, "The storm doesn't seem to be coming to Belfast."
The butler raised his head and glanced.
"Just walking slowly."
Lu Li sat in the reclining chair, the transparent palm supporting his arm was about to leave, but at this moment Lu Li reached out and grabbed Anna's hand.
Lu Li knew that Anna was in a bad mood at this time, but he would not comfort people, he could only use this behavior to ease her mood.
Anna did not struggle and gradually became quiet. The gloomy aura around him seemed to dissipate a little.
The sea breeze blowing to the top of the mountain has no fishy smell, and the damp and cool breeze makes people feel refreshed, and there are many situations.
Baron chatted with Lu Li at will, and soon, she talked about the shadow of the thread: "What does the "three" at the end of the story of the shadow of the thread mean?"
