Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 924 Two hundred and fifteen. Negotiations
Chapter 924 Two hundred and fifteen. Negotiations
嘭——
The mist-filled manhole cover was lifted.
A silhouette climbed out of the sewers and onto the damp bluestone road.
The water that fell like rain made the gray-black main street look like late autumn, the surroundings were empty, and there were a few figures passing by at the intersection in the distance.
The distant burning fire formed a mist under the rain curtain, and the alarm sound echoed in the air.
A sharp whistle rang out along with cluttered footsteps, and a team of policemen ran after the thief carrying the spilled jewels.
Waiting for the policemen who followed him to pick up the stolen goods gradually moved away, Lu Li emerged from the shadows of the alley and looked at the backs where they left.
The police are struggling to cope with the riots around Wiener's ice-free port.
Walking in the opposite direction from where they left, Lu Li saw twos and threes of citizens walking on the street calmly with umbrellas in the wide street overlooking the bay, as if the riot had nothing to do with them.
Next, Lu Li saw more similar scenarios. Citizens with their luggage and family members wanting to leave in a panic, and couples snuggling up in the viewing area overlooking the bay. The people who **** the goods in the shop windows are mixed with the drivers who drive the steam cars leisurely.
Vena's ice-free port all merges into the eerie contrast of calm and surging.
Citizens do not yet know the 24-hour countdown.
And now, this time is less than 4 hours.
"This umbrella is for you."
A lady with long brown wavy hair took the initiative to talk to Lu Li, brought her umbrella close to Lu Li, raised her head strangely and asked, "Have we met before? I feel...you are familiar."
"No."
She is a stranger to Lu Li.
"I think so too, not too many people have black hair and black... You are an exorcist—" The lady thought of the answer in astonishment, and held back her exclamation in her throat.
She then stuffed the umbrella into Lu Li's hands and said seriously, "Take it. The court wants you, run away, and get out of here!"
"What did the inquisition say to you?" Lu Li took the umbrella but didn't leave. He added, "About the water film that wraps the city."
"They say weirdness surrounds the city and it's safe to stay in Wiener Freeze...Is there a problem?"
Madam looked around nervously, but the frequent glances only made her look more suspicious.
The trial house concealed the **** of the deep sea and the countdown.
"Do you know where the ancients are?" Lu Li asked.
"The old one...?"
"God of the deep sea, the culprit of all this." Lu Li looked at the fluorescent water film.
"...you might be able to check out the port, there are soldiers everywhere. But be careful, they're after you."
This is indeed a clue: Soldiers against weirdness.
But they didn't find the **** of the deep sea in the bay when they came, and it may be that the gathering of soldiers has nothing to do with him: "Are there many soldiers in other places besides the port?"
Ms. shook her head suspiciously.
Lu Li thanked her and walked towards the city hall with an umbrella.
As time went on, Lu Li began to see the court guards patrolling the streets, and it became more and more frequent.
Whether it is related to the protection of the city hall or not, the inquisition already knows that Lu Li escaped from the dungeon.
Lu Li stopped in front of the checkpoint established by the trial. The lights of the City Hall can already be seen here, but layers of barriers are blocking the road, preventing Lu Li from advancing.
There are still 3 hours left, Lu Li has no time to break through the city hall, and no time to find other helpers.
stopped for a moment, and Lu Li turned and left before the guards found him in the distance.
…
Knight Vino turned his head and stared at the tall figure standing in front of the guardrail on the coastal street holding an umbrella.
He knew that Lu Li would come, but he shouldn't be there.
Taking a deep breath, Knight Vino pointed to the distant street, and the shout echoed over the port: "I found the exorcist!"
The orderly perimeter of the port became chaotic, and the hidden court guards rushed out of the house and bunkers and ran towards the direction pointed by the knight Vino.
Here is the trap.
Lu Li, who was watching from a distance, thought. Knight Vino is captured by the trial. Even if you are proven innocent, you shouldn't stay here.
In any case, Knight Vino helped Lu Li clear the perimeter of the port, allowing him to enter the interior of the port covertly.
The huge port searchlight shines on the sea near the port, which may be the destination of Luli.
The interior of the port was empty, and Lu Li quickly found the reason——
The port workers who stay here exude the smell of tides stronger than sea water, holding harpoons to block the road of the land, and they are vague.
"Outsiders...why...close here."
"Resolve the invasion of the **** of the deep sea." Lu Li replied.
The worker's face showed hatred and hideousness, and raised his harpoon: "Desecrate the ancient abominable creatures..."
The contamination of the **** of the deep sea is beginning to take shape.
"I'm a guest of the God of the Deep Sea, this is a token." Lu Li changed his tune and took out the sea beads condensed between his neck.
The workers and believers shivered and slumped down: "Please forgive my rudeness, the aloof master is right in front."
Luli continued to move forward, put away his umbrella, and arrived at the sea area in front of the pier illuminated by searchlights.
The sea bulged and expanded, slowly rising an indescribable shadow.
The waves spread, the ships in the port swelled and retreated, the piercing siren echoed behind the Wiener Antifreeze Harbor, and the distant ant-like figures ran around.
The huge searchlight was like a match lit in a house, illuminating an insignificant corner of Him, and the figure looking up on the pier was even smaller as dust.
"Mortal, I am the **** of the deep sea, and I will state your purpose." He looked down at Lu Li and recited in a low voice.
"You shouldn't transform Wiener Freeze Harbor."
Lu Li knew that he remembered himself, which is why he was able to receive an interview: "Human beings are the last intelligent life in the known native land. They only gather in Midnight City and Vener Freeze Harbor. If you transform here, half of the human population will be missing."
"The ants can't see the tsunami in the distance..."
"What did you see on the other side of the World's Ridgeback?"
What happened over there is what drove the **** of the deep sea to attack the city.
"... corruption and death."
"So you want to transform humans to gain power?"
"It's killing humans..."
People always have the illusion that the gods protect them. But the ancients, who were regarded as gods, never cared who had multiplied the land. Humanity? previous generation? Intelligent life earlier? They are only there to protect the world.
"Lu Li...what are you going to do."
Lu Li's name echoed in the city along with the low chanting of the God of the Deep Sea.
"Stop you." Lu Li replied calmly.
"This is... betrayal!"
The angry **** of the deep sea raised his oppressive claws larger than the battleship and grabbed Lu Li.
The expected conflict did not occur. The tip of his claws lightly touched the sea beads that Lu Li was wearing without dodging. The latter shattered into fluorescent light, and the giant claws slowly retracted.
The **** of the deep sea exudes god-like indifference and obscureness, slowly sinking into the sea. With the waves that spread out abnormally, they swam to the outside of the Wiener Freeze Harbor.
The water film dissolves and collapses silently, which will bring a short and rapid rainstorm to Wiener Freeze Harbor, and it will congeal due to the cold.
Feather-like snow flakes fall, gilding the city with tranquility.
Wiener is not frozen, the crisis is lifted.
