Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 742 Thirty-three. There will be parting

   Chapter 742 Thirty-three. There will be parting at last

   remembers Oliver's recollection that this flattery is usually a request for something—a salary advance or help.

"What's wrong."

  Lu Li's gaze stopped at Oliver's skinny monkey-like face.

   This day in the real world Oliver did come. So in the Emerald Dream, is his purpose really the same?

   "Lady Slav wants to apologize to you for the presumptuousness that day..." Oliver carefully observed Lu Li's expression, but it was difficult to see anything from the calm and handsome face.

  Lu Li was also watching Oliver. He had no love letter from the Slavs in his hand.

   It looks like things are going a little differently.

   "Nothing." Lu Li said he didn't care. He was thinking about whether to let Oliver stay, even if it didn't make much sense.

   He is dead after all, leaving him is no different from filling his stomach with the sea breeze, except that it is intentionally done for the Emerald Dream.

   is just to show the emerald dream to increase the sense of expectation, Lu Li thought, ready to let Oliver stay.

   "And...this." Oliver suddenly stumbled and opened his mouth, taking out a new letter with a pungent perfume smell from his underwear. "This is a... love letter to you from the Slavs."

   The voice fell, and an unfriendly gaze came from the bedroom.

   Oliver seemed to be congealed, and his upper and lower teeth began to make a "bang bang bang" sound.

"Close the door."

   "Huh?" Oliver, who was stunned, shrank his neck and closed the door of the detective agency.

   "Close from the outside." Lu Li's words came from behind the desk.

"Oh…"

  Oliver walked out dragging his heavy body that was the exact opposite of when he came in.

  Lu Li's voice continued: "Go to Jojo, she misses you. And...don't go near Shadow Swamp, it's no longer safe there."

   "Good boss!"

   Oliver straightened his back and disappeared outside the door.

   Although the process is different, the result is the same.

   "Love letter?"

  Anna pretended not to care, but kept peeking at the letters on the table.

   "Who are the Slavs?"

   "The man who rented Oliver's house."

"uh-huh."

  Anna waited for Lu Li to continue speaking, but Lu Li has returned to silence.

  The unwilling Anna continued to stare at Lu Li, and finally, two minutes later, Lu Li responded by throwing the love letter into the trash can.

   "Aren't you going to take a look?" Anna asked deliberately.

"dont see."

   Anna, who received a satisfactory answer, let go of Lu Li and started today's busy work.

  Anna hummed a beautiful song, her phantom body put on an apron, and cleaned the detective agency like a little maid.

  The stone statue next to the hanger behind the door doesn't like water. The humidity before the rainy season makes the house less dusty. Anna just swept the statue with a feather duster.

   Finally finished mopping the floor, telling Lu Li not to walk around and step on the dirty and wet floor, Anna fell onto the sofa like a feather, took care of the flower pot on the windowsill that never sprouts, and then stared blankly at the bustling street.

  Looking at Anna's back, a never-before-seen, diametrically opposite impulse suddenly drove him to do something.

   After a moment of silence, Lu left the mouth: "Do you want to go out?"

   Anna, who was lying in front of the window, turned around in surprise: "What?"

  Lu Li lowered his black eyes: "Let's go to the beach and see."

  …

   Nothing but destruction can deprive the traces of the sea from the Sailor's Quarter. To a certain extent, the sailors living here and the sea fish hanging on the ropes make the Sailor Street more intense than the "sea food" by the sea.

   This also leaves the Sailors Street with only one poor ready-to-wear store, which is filled with linen clothes worn by commoners.

  Lu Li bought a black robe at a clothing store two streets apart, and Anna walked into the uninhabited alley with a hidden breath: "Put it on and you don't have to hide in the inner world."

   After a minute, Lu Li walked out of the alley with Anna, who was draped in a black robe.

  The black robe covered Anna's deceptive appearance. She was like a cleric who exudes gloom and ominousness, ignoring the pedestrians and carriages on the street and moving forward slowly.

   "No... I can't see the way."

   In fact, the cloak blocked her view, and she always stepped on the hem of the cloak.

   "Float up."

   Lu Li said, holding the hand under Anna's cloak.

  …

  Standing in front of the guardrail, the thick clouds blocked the afternoon sun, and flocks of seagulls circled over Rodester Harbor, and the whistle of entering and sailing came from afar.

  The sea breeze blew off Anna's cloak, she panicked and wanted to put it back on, but found that no one was paying attention, so she became enjoying the vast scenery.

   "I seem to smell the sea breeze..."

  Anna was immersed in the vast lead-grey ocean, and suddenly turned her head to Lu Li in disappointment.

   He let go of Anna, squatted down and took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, then pulled up Anna again, holding the shoe in his other hand, and walked into the beach.

  Ana and Lu Li walked side by side on the beach, leaving a trail of footprints behind them.

   "Why do you suddenly remember... Take me to see the sea."

  The sea breeze blew up her robe, swaying like a veil.

"do not know."

   "Did you bring me here because of a nightmare?" Anna asked, tilting her head.

"Um."

   "Want to tell me? Your dream."

   "Dreams are long."

   “We have a lot of time don’t we…”

"Um."

   The "dream" was indeed very long, even if Lu Li didn't extend it deliberately, it was already evening, and Belfast turned on the lights.

   Returning to the detective agency from the cold beach, Lu Li finally put a stop to the story.

   "I woke up in the Emerald Dream and saw you."

  Anna can only comfort Lu Li to forget about those things: "Dreams are the opposite, and no matter what... I won't hurt you."

  Lu Li didn't say anything.

  It was getting late at night, Anna, as usual, said softly to Lu Li lying down on the sofa, "Good night."

   "Good night." Lu Li replied.

  The night was silent.

   For the next week, Lu Li didn't seem to worry about whether it was true or false—at least not in front of Anna.

  Lu Li was too far away from Jade Dream to think that he was a poor person who couldn't escape from being immersed in delusion.

   This is like a tacit understanding between him and the Emerald Dream.

   Lu Li kept the Emerald Dreamland of expectations, and the Emerald Dreamland kept Lu Li from leaving.

  Unfortunately, as time passed, the Emerald Dream seemed to get tired gradually, and it began to actively warn Lu Li: Anna wanted to kill Lu Li twice.

   Once Anna found a to-do list in the drawer that said "find a way to get out of here", and once was to find a love letter from a Slavic lady.

   Lu Li waited quietly.

   Waiting for Eternal Night to leave.

   At noon on the fourteenth day, Lu Li took out the dagger he found under the bed three days ago, and said goodbye to Anna, who was cleaning in an apron.

   "I should go back."

   "Those are all false, it's a nightmare." Anna tried to stop Lu Li, but failed, sobbing: "Why do you want to leave the dreamland... What's wrong here? Everyone is alive, we can live here forever..."

  Lu Li just said softly.

   "She's waiting for me."
