Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 861 152. Bell, Belfast, everywhere
Chapter 861 One hundred and fifty-two. Bell, Belfast, full of troubles and opportunities
Their departure went unnoticed.
Leaving the city of Rielstein, stepping into the snow that can bury the calf, the gray and gloomy clouds are covered with endless white snow.
The filth of the earth is purified.
Through the snow, near the Hyde River, the flowing river has not yet condensed, and the ice is piled up on the bank.
But soon the whole river will be frozen.
It was terribly cold, and several layers of clothes could not stop the wind blowing into the bone marrow.
But it’s better than walking in a blizzard. Although it’s freezing cold, it’s not hard to breathe. It’s hard to walk, and the snow water gets into your clothes.
Ophelia's scorching heat brings warmth and melts the snow, revealing ugly and obvious trails.
Katarina felt that Ophelia was joining at the right time. Otherwise, the hurry in the ice and snow would be enough to cost them half their lives.
Walking along the Hyde River for a distance, the cracks in Ophelia’s body suddenly flickered.
"City... chase... here."
Lu Li stopped abruptly and looked behind them.
Relstein Castle-like thick stone walls and building spires were looming under the clouds, and he did not see the strangeness in the city that Ophelia said, but the path that Ophelia melted formed a conspicuous arrow pointing to them.
"Go quickly."
Looking back, Lu Li pulled out his snow-deep boots and ran forward.
"I... hold on."
Ophelia wanted to stop the weird, but Lu Li refused.
"You go ahead and help us melt the snow."
At times like this, it's more useful to pull them apart than to drag them. Dozens of centimeters of snow are enough to slow down half of their running speed.
Ophelia came in front of everyone, radiating heat and baking the snow.
The people running followed behind, stepping across the ground melted by Ophelia.
The drowsy eldest sister was awakened by the bump, and was almost thrown off, holding her cloak tightly to prevent herself from flying out.
It didn't take too long, and the running crowd could vaguely hear the screams that were similar to intense fanaticism behind them.
During the period, Lu Li turned his head, but still couldn't see anything, only the sound of the approaching roar indicated that the existence was approaching, getting closer.
"We're about to be caught up!"
shouted Katarina clenching her teeth to prevent the cold wind from entering her mouth.
The roar was so close, they could almost hear the snow being stomped on. The next moment, Ophelia in front returned and rushed behind the crowd.
It collided with something, and the hot lava erupted behind him.
Ophelia's shout came.
"Go on... run!"
Everyone ran wildly forward, even if the snow was hard to stop.
Flakes of snow fell from the sky, and Ophelia returned when the shadow of Rielstein City no longer appeared.
The heat radiating from her body flickered with the dark red lines, leaving behind pale lava-like footprints.
"They...received."
Even if it's weird, I don't want to stay in the frozen snowfield for too long.
"If it's not necessary in the future, don't use power recklessly."
Lu Li confronted Ophelia, whose unstable power was gradually receding.
Ophelia's rough aura intensified.
"When will you be married?"
Before returning to his normal journey, Lu Li asked the merchant to bring a few pairs of dry boots to avoid frostbite on the soles of his feet.
After , everything went smoothly. Except for the raging wind and snow, and the Poido Village hut that was suspected to have been rummaged by something, they did not encounter any more trouble.
In the afternoon two days later, they returned to the south coast of the Lord's Continent, retreated the boat into the icy, biting sea of floating ice, and returned to Andrea, who was waiting for them.
In the cold sea breeze, Andrea broke the waves and returned to the Ellen Peninsula.
…
The cold snap also hit the Allen Peninsula.
The sea has not yet frozen, but the moisture-laden sea breeze is more unbearable than in the Lord's Continent, and Katarina feels that the exposed face will be cut.
Andrea returned to the landing point a few miles from Shymfast harbor late at night. Wait until dawn to set off.
Worried that he was once again bewitched by the nightmare, Prius stayed up all night, like a devout praying that the Light Stealer or the fog tide would not come at this time.
The prayer worked, and after dawn, the eerie fog quietly faded away, revealing the snow-white earth.
Loli they paddled ashore and walked towards Shymfast.
A few hours later, the outlines of the rolling log city walls appeared at the end of the snow-falling earth.
Back under the collapsed wooden wall, Katarina asked Lu Li for a fragment of the artifact, and wanted to enter alone to test whether the pollution was still there.
"Need not."
Lu Li took out the artifact fragment, held it and approached the wooden wall.
The sanity counter did not sound, and Lu Li felt that the surroundings were being purified—the invisible filth that poisoned the earth was removed by the strange power of the artifact fragments.
stepped across the wooden wall into Shymfast, the sanity counter remained silent.
Katarina tried to keep up, also no longer plagued by pollution.
The pollution disappeared wherever Lu Li, who was holding the artifact fragment, passed by.
The people outside the wooden wall followed Lu Li, came behind him, and walked into the snow-covered Simfast together.
Shymfast was annihilated by sacrifice, and the residual pollution made it impossible for the weird to step into it.
So when they entered the city, all they saw were empty streets, quiet corners with statues, and ruins that had been set ablaze with no care.
Snow burying gloom and grayness, a clean and peaceful city is not like a terrifying place where hundreds of thousands of people are buried.
Sand——Sand——
stepped on the snow and walked on the empty street, and the black steam car parked on the side of the road reflected Katerina's looking face.
The goods and clothing in the shop windows are hung on the shelves intact, and wooden racks are still stacked in front of the building at the moment of repair. It seemed as if countless residents would walk out of the corner at any moment, clear the snow and bring the streets back to hustle and bustle.
Cultists, trees, brown cars, they are looking for everything related to these three.
And Lu Li, who was walking in front, took firm steps and walked towards the towering spire that could be seen even outside the city.
They passed through Shymfast without any obstruction, and witnessed many mottled, snow-covered landmarks.
Arrived outside the cemetery of Chengxi Church, where the towering spire church is located.
"Why are you here?"
Katarina didn't get an answer.
Lu Li climbed over the low fence and entered the cemetery.
They felt that Lu Li's emotions were not right, so they looked at each other and followed.
The Tombstone Trail is lined up, quietly witnessing everything that happened to Shymfast. Their presence gives these intruders peace of mind—
At this moment, Lu Li in front suddenly picked up his pace and left the trail.
Katerina wanted to follow, but was stopped by Ophelia: "Don't disturb... him."
Looking back at Lu Li's back, he stopped in front of a tombstone deep in the cemetery and stood quietly.
[R.I.P]
[Anna Bessie]
They saw a line of names vaguely written on the high-pointed tombstone.
There are also the bottom of the tomb that has been turned over by the earth, and the snow-covered bones scattered around the tomb.
