Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 735 26. Leviathan
Chapter 735 Twenty-six. Leviathan
The roaring fire lit up the whole town.
The sky is darkened like a lightless night, and torches reflect the silhouettes of people, but they are not changed by the coming of night.
Some people gathered at the entrance of the town and seemed to be doing some business. Katarina avoided there and reminded Lu Li not to watch too much.
The difference between Leviathan Town is reflected in the people. Most hunters are tired and thin. The problem is more serious for the residents. Due to long-term lack of water, their bodies are sickly yellow, and their skin is loose and thin.
Even on the side of the street, polluted scavengers look healthier than local residents.
"Follow me." Katarina whispered, becoming more cautious than in Tangge Town, and leading Lu Li to the Hunter Guild.
"They are seriously short of water." Lu Li was surprised by this.
Even if drinking water is forbidden, it should not be so deficient.
"Because it's very religious here...you know what I'm talking about." Katarina tried her best not to look awkward.
Residents believe in gods and abide by the rules.
Katarina has been to Leviathan a few times and knows where the local Hunter Guild is.
After a few minutes, they came to a building unique to the surrounding houses. The shield-shaped emblem on the wall is a cross of a dagger and a flintlock.
"The psychic gun..." Lu Li whispered its name.
"Well, but I can't afford it, and that thing is too noisy, it can only be used reluctantly in a safe area."
Katarina had seen someone use it, and after pulling the trigger, the whole wilderness echoed with thunderous gunshots, and when the surging weirdness receded, there was nothing left.
Pushed the door and entered the Hunter's Guild, and the smell of snuff mixed with various flavors wafted toward the face, covering the ceiling like a mist.
The hunters in the guild are in slightly better condition, except for the usual thinness, they don't have many symptoms of dehydration.
Katarina ignored the peeps around her and went straight to the counter.
"Delegation or acceptance." The staff who was severely lacking in water could not ask, her skin drooping, her voice was almost drowned in the noisy guild.
"Selling intelligence."
"Can be made public or private."
"Can be made public."
The surrounding noise became a little quieter as the voice fell, and some eyes focused on Katarina.
Releasable intelligence usually means "a piece of the pie", especially to the first person to hear it.
"Say it directly, and we will evaluate your information haha..." The lack of water made the tired staff yawn, and it seemed that they might fall asleep at any time.
Katarina intentionally imitated Lu Li's calm tone and said, "The nearby ghoul den is migrating and is preparing to expand into a ghoul town."
The Hunter Guild was suddenly enveloped in silence following Katarina's announcement.
The hunters looked here one after another, but no one was happy. For the town, for everyone, the emergence of a ghoul town is a big problem, there is no oil and water, and it is very dangerous.
Hordes of ghouls are never something a hunter acting alone can fight.
In the silent Hunter Guild hall, only sleepy questions sounded: "Where is it?"
The calm and tired staff is like hearing a trivial message.
"They're going..." Katarina paused, she didn't know where the ghouls were--
"It's about 15 miles south of the ghoul's lair, you can follow their tracks." Lu Li calmly said.
The staff recorded it in rustling and asked, "May I ask your name."
"Katarina. The bee stings Katerina." Katerina said quickly.
"We will determine whether the information is true or not. It will take some time. When it is true, you can come to the Hunter Guild to receive the reward."
"how long it takes."
They won't stay too long, and at the latest, Katarina will leave Leviathan town when the night fades away.
"Depending on the situation whether... ah... urgency and distance." said the yawning staff member.
Katerina doesn't think the town will investigate during the eternal night, and it seems that she won't be able to get this reward in a short time.
"Someone follows us."
As soon as he walked out of the Hunter Guild, Lu Li's voice sounded.
Katerina stopped and turned to face behind: the two figures that followed them did not turn away, but just slowed down slightly and walked over.
"We have no ill will." The burly man said in a muffled voice.
The leather armor represents the identity of a man, and the skin that is not covered by the leather armor is keratinized like a fish scale moss.
The other one was as short as a mole, but not as chubby.
"I'm Boulder, we heard your information in the guild and want to team up with you to explore the lair." His words were short and crisp.
Although the ghoul migration expansion is dangerous, the hunters are still profitable.
Abandoned ghoul dens usually have some goodies, like the relics of their victims.
Katerina was a little tempted, but she didn't believe others, shook her head and refused: "We have other things to do."
The benefits of "selling" Lu Li far outweigh the exploration of the ghoul's lair, which is the most important thing at the moment.
The boulder didn't say anything, and he and his partner simply turned and left.
The hunters who followed Katarina were not only boulders, but also another wave, but they hid in the alley and looked around like mice. Katarina looked contemptuous, her left eye flashed in darkness, making the sneaky ordinary hunters dare not continue to follow.
On the way to the hotel, they saw several carriages gathered at the west exit of Leviathan Town, said to be preparing to enter the wilderness shrouded in eternal night.
Lu Li observed the caravans mixed in the convoy, and there was a faint smell of the wilderness in it - that may be the reason why the convoy rushed into the wilderness in the eternal night.
Walking into the hotel, Katerina was about to rent a room when a group of silhouettes broke into the hotel.
"Cultists..."
The skinny innkeeper bowed his head reverently and respectfully.
Two cloaked believers came from the door. Their cloaks were longer than Lu Li, and dragged on the ground as long as a veil, and their almost translational movements seemed to float against the ground.
"The church confirmed your information...what do you want..."
murmurs sounded in the shadow of the cloak, as well as murmurs that seemed to be absent.
"A sum of money."
Katarina blurted out subconsciously, immediately thinking of the convoy she saw, and added: "And I hope we can follow the convoy to Ghost Town."
Whoa——
A bag of coins was tossed at Katarina, and the skinny claws under the cloak disappeared in a flash.
"The team will accept you..."
Katarina caught the heavy cloth bag and quickly thanked him. Suddenly, the shadows under the cloaks of the two believers turned to Lu Li, as if they were watching him.
"Pure unbelievers... The Leviathan Church welcomes your visit at any time..."
With the sound of murmured prayers, the believers drifted away from the hotel.
