Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 902 One hundred and ninety-three. Unbearable loss
Chapter 902 One hundred and ninety-three. Unbearable loss
Crushes of gravel and sand were scattered into the old sewers.
Eternal night and fog tide have receded. The dark sky, which symbolizes repression, is far more relaxing than the cramped passage, only the eccentrics recoil into unexposed areas.
The skeletons that covered the sky left, but Yu Wei was still there.
It's just that they blocked all the way out, and Lu Li had nowhere to escape.
Taking advantage of the weirdness, Lu Li pulled out his dagger, opened the wound on his leg and squeezed, and light pink blood mixed with inexplicable pus flowed out of the wound.
After successively dealing with the fine wounds on both legs, the sensation and pain gradually returned. Venom only has a paralyzing effect, not corrosive digestion.
It took some time for his swollen legs to stand up. Lu Li's eyes fell into the distance. The monsters still didn't dare to approach, and they were afraid to invade the existence of the old sewers.
The outline of the enforcer also did not emerge.
Lu Li put his hand into the empty pocket of his coat and looked around the ground. The wooden box containing the eyeballs was missing, most likely scattered around, but difficult to find.
Look at all the surfaces around you until you find a wooden box half-covered by the edge of the ruins.
Lu Li supported the rock wall to prop up his body, and staggered towards the wooden box with his numb legs.
Squeak——
The weirdness under the ruins was begging for mercy as Lu Li approached and waved his forelimbs. It didn't have the monstrous abomination that was common in old sewers, and at best it was ugly, like a hairless squirrel.
Lu Li picked up the wooden box, lifted the lid to expose the eyeballs lying on the bottom, and then lifted the collapsed wall to release the weirdness pressing down below.
The ominous tremor was suddenly found again from the depths of the earth, Lu Li frowned, and stared at the rock wall where the gravel was scattered and violently trembled.
Whoa——
The rocks fell off in large flakes. Mouthparts studded with fine teeth burrow out of the rock wall.
Ophelia emerged from the depths of the wriggling wormhole and jumped out of the worm's mouth.
"found it!"
"Where is Katarina?" Lu Li asked with a frown.
Ophelia came too fast...
"What? In Inns...mouth...be careful!"
Ophelia shouted hoarsely, and the monster, who was rescued by Lu Li, hugged his calf tightly, and bit his three-lobed lips on it.
Lu Li pulled it up the moment he felt the pain, his left hand with the power of redemption gave it punishment, and died in agony in an incomprehensible scream for mercy.
The bad thing is that the toxins are attached to the weird teeth, and the power is drawn from the body.
"Bring the corpse..."
Lu Li was unable to whisper, fell and fell into a coma.
…
Every time Lu Li is in a coma, he will foresee a bizarre dream.
This time is no exception.
In the fog-like chaos where time and space are indistinguishable, the sleeping Lu Li glimpses a lighthouse in the distance. He leaned against the shaded tree trunk, covered in blood. Heavy, dictionary-like books lay aside. When observing these in more detail, Lu Li fell asleep again.
Then wake up.
The dilapidated ceiling gradually became clear, and Purse, who was bouncing and shouting words that his confused mind couldn't understand, ran out of the room.
When Ophelia entered the room, he understood the first sentence.
"You will be killed by your kindness sooner or later."
is just confusing, coherent words spoken by Ophelia.
"Mr. Lu Li, Miss Ophelia has been practicing this sentence repeatedly for the past two days when you have a high fever." Pusius explained in a timely manner.
"Two days..."
Lu Li's memory was still in a dream that only lasted for more than ten seconds.
"It's just a weak toxin. It could have been cured in a few hours, but because you are a weak human, the antidote is also poison to you."
An old woman with a faded patterned blanket and dozens of flax-colored braids appeared with a weird shin-bone crutch. Every time she took a step, there would be a clanging sound under the blanket.
"She is--"
"Giant tree betrayer, sorcerer, Antilicia Michael." The old woman leaned forward with her cane and lowered her head.
"It was Grandma Antilicia who saved you." The interrupted Pusius added.
"Be polite, I'm only 30 years old." The sorcerer raised his cane and knocked on the head of Purseus, continuing to approach the bed.
"Fortunately, you brought the corpse wisely, otherwise the last legendary exorcist tragically died in the mouth of the weakest monster."
"you know me?"
Lu Li smelled the mixed medicine on her body.
"A lot of the weirdness of the old sewers didn't care about it, I'm different."
In the sudden strong smell of the mixed potion, the sorcerer approached Lu Li's face, touched Lu Li's cheek with the slender, clammy tip of a snake-like forked tongue, and retracted his mouth.
"Don't worry about the resentful spirit, the toxins in his body have weakened." The sorcerer ignored the suddenly hot house and walked out on crutches. "I should go too"
"Wait, Grandma Antilicia, what's the pay?"
"No, just greet Dean Lawrence for me when I see him."
"He is the dean of Appearance Kleins University." Lu Li stared at the back of the sorcerer.
"I'm the giant tree from there, and he's always proud of me, before I turned my back on humanity."
In the words of calmly expounded, the clanging sound gradually faded away.
"Where are we."
Lu Li retracted his gaze.
"Glossy Station, it's a long way from Midnight City Terminal."
"The crystal...is still there." Ophelia took out the wooden box covered with crystals at this time.
This is good news, at least they still have chips in exchange for the Eye of the Ancient God.
"Change to a new wooden box."
"Hmm... what about the eldest sister...?" Ophelia asked, throwing the wooden box to the merchant Anthony.
"taken by its mother."
Lu Li told what happened before he met Ophelia.
"You will be...you will be killed by your kindness sooner or later," Ophelia repeated. "Believe...twice...weird."
Lu Li remained silent.
The little guy who was always used to talking sharply left them.
"We lost another companion."
Puseus lowered his tail and whimpered, thinking of Katerina.
"Can we still find it?"
It was no longer sad until Pusius couldn't help asking Lu Li and got a positive answer.
Then they were told what happened to them after the separation by Prius.
The hunted Ophelia encounters the silhouette of steam fighting with the enemy, which waved and collapsed the block behind Ophelia. The rescued Ophelia returned to the first floor, summoned the merchant to find Lu Li and others, and finally found Lu Li through the perception of the merchant Anthony.
As a result, there are less than half of the thirty or so followers who have followed, and a dozen followers, including Bishop Jon, may have disappeared forever in the depths of the old sewers.
"Mr. Jon has eyeballs, but he doesn't use them," added Purseus.
"Next...what to do." Ophelia asked.
"Back to Luokou Town."
They'll linger there for a few days, waiting for possible surviving believers to return along the Shadow Church marker, and wait and deal with the steam outlines.
But if not, Lu Li can only fail by default.
This time, they paid a heavy price for the entrustment from the ancient gods.
