Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 889 One hundred and eighty. Katerina\'s ending

   Chapter 889 One hundred and eighty. The ending of Katarina

   Remove the impossible, and what remains, even if it is unbelievable, is the truth.

   "Katarina."

  In the silent world, the deep diver shook his ugly fish-like head, muttered something with cracked-toothed fish lips, and loosened his grip on the doomsday apocalypse.

   Lu Li released his palm before her.

  Katerina wanted to return the Doomsday Revelation Book, and saw Lu Li pointed to his ear: "I can't hear the sound, you take it."

  The chaos in the port square gradually calmed down, and the rain suppressed the flames.

   Leaving the square, Katerina immediately returned the Doomsday Apocalypse to Lu Li.

   When Lu Li's fingertips were about to touch the Doomsday Apocalypse, a white hand lightly covered the back of his hand.

   "Are you really going to pick it up?" Anna raised her clear eyes. "Then I'll disappear..."

  Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, getting rid of the powerless hold of the illusion, and holding the Doomsday Apocalypse.

   As Katarina released her palm, Anna's vision shattered like a bubble.

   Katarina looked at Lu Li with mixed emotions.

   They all look bad. Katarina's gray-green skin has a white belly. Slippery and clammy, with scaly backs. The side of the neck grows with trembling gills, the long claws are covered with webbed membranes, and the fish head has huge bulging eyes that never close. Lu Li's light gray-green skin has the obvious appearance of Innsmouth, the skin on the side of his neck seems to be folded, and his eyes are almost the same as Katarina's, but they haven't bulged to break free.

   But after getting the apocalypse book, the human side returned to Lu Li.

   The color from the deep sea faded from the skin, the eyes melted into pitch black, and the skin on the neck stretched and tightened again. And from Katarina's body, the aura mixed with reverence and superior also turned back to a strong fishy smell.

   An unbearable itching suddenly bloomed deep in the ear, as if something was growing and recovering. Soon, various noises entered Lu Li's ears.

   The Apocalypse of Doomsday brings Lu Li back to human.

   Away from the hustle and bustle of the port square on the benches along the coastal street, Lu Li and Katerina looked out at the sacrifice square and the sea.

   As if human beings get along with the weird.

   "I can hear it."

   Lu Li wiped off the blood scab around his ear. The feeling of regaining hearing is like getting out of the water, and even the dark coastal towns become colorful.

   "Why are you here? Why did you become like that?"

   Katarina couldn't wait to ask her doubts.

   "We will come to you after you disappear." Lu Li said concisely.

   "I should have left a letter..." Katarina muttered to herself, continuing to ask in a barking noise, "Where are the others."

   "They will be found when they enter Innsmouth, I am alone."

  Lu Li briefly talked about his experience, and the matter of being polluted in order to get close to the townspeople and the port.

   "It's very dangerous...accept the favor...the people who are polluted are mostly turned into disgusting monsters like sea monsters."

  Katerina is glad that Doomsday Chess can restore Lu Li's appearance and ears, otherwise she may fall into eternal self-blame.

   "Ophelia is responding outside the town, let's go back."

   Katarina shook her head and refused, sitting on the bench and slowly recounting her experience, from the ice-free port of Wiener to the deep nightmare, to the return to the home of the deep diver, Iha Ensley.

   The ceremony in the port square is almost over, and many deep divers retreat into the sea and swim to the black line, Devil's Reef.

"Land from……"

   She uttered her decision with guilt and pain.

   "I want to stay..."

  Lu Li remained silent, waiting for Katerina to continue speaking.

   "My body has the blood of the deep diver... My mother and grandmother are here, as well as my ancestors. I can no longer integrate into the human world... This is where I should be."

   Katerina's bulging eyes secreted a foul-smelling liquid, which made it difficult to hide her sadness and make it difficult for tears to stay in her eyes.

   "But it's not a bad ending, is it?"

   "Don't get lost, stick to your sanity."

  Lu Li didn't tell Katerina's choice, maybe for many people, becoming a deep diver is not a bad choice.

   "Thank you... I will remember this journey and say goodbye to Purse and Ophelia for me."

   Katarina finally wanted to hug Lu Li, but was blocked by him and refused.

   "Try to change yourself..." Katerina knew that it wasn't that he hated him, but that Lu Li didn't like being close.

   She stood up and said goodbye to Lu Li.

   "We'll see you again."

  Lu Li quietly watched Katarina return to the port square, mixed with the rest of the deep diver and disappeared into the sea.

  Lu Li got up and left the bench, picked up the hat beside him and put it on.

   He should leave too.

  …

  Lu Li returned to the collapsed ruined house and called the hidden Ophelia.

   Ophelia stepped out of the burnt ruins that hid her body and breath.

   "Find...Kat...Lina...?"

"Um."

   "Carter...where is she?" Ophelia looked around. "She... hid... trying to scare me?"

   "She chose to stay."

  Lu Li didn't say much, and walked with Ophelia into the small town of Innsmouth, where life and corruption are entangled.

   On the rough sand studded with broken shells and fish bones, the waiting crowd welcomed back Lu Li, Ophelia, and Katerina.

   "Why...you don't...stop her?"

   "It's her decision."

   Maybe being a deep diver is not a bad thing. No longer worry about survival, and even have almost eternal life.

   "Then can we visit her later? Or she will visit us."

  Puseus was sad that there was one less companion by his side.

   "She said we'll see you again."

   It's just that it was Katarina who met them, or a deep diver with Katarina's name, no one knew.

   Knowing that the Innsmouth incident has ended, Bishop Jon and the believers are glad that Lu Li does not have to continue the adventure.

The   Tentacle Cultists were the exact opposite. They believed that Lu Li had betrayed them and failed to destroy the pagan lair as promised.

   "Our original purpose was to find Katarina, not to destroy the town." Lu Li replied.

   So the Tentacle Cultists could only get angry at Lu Li.

   Desire to please the gods by destroying the town. The tentacle believers chose to leave the team of Luli, and left the coast with the believers, and walked to the depths of the land.

   Make sure they won't come back, Lu Li called Andrea, who was hiding at the edge of the fog, to dock.

   Andrea let out a low cry to Lu Li and the others who were on board.

   climbed up the back of Lu Li, got into the hood of the eldest sister and said, "It asked where Katerina is."

   In the narration of the depressed-looking Purseus, Andrea left the sea and sailed towards the outer haze and eternal night.

When    was about to leave this sea area, a head like a fish like a frog emerged from the waves where Andrea was waking up, watching them leave quietly.

   Lu Li, who stood on the deck, saw it.

   Is that the deep diver who is watching, or is it a farewell to Katerina, everything goes away and sinks to the bottom of the sea.
