Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 424 1. Return to Rose Town

   Ender Town Harbour.

   The locals are used to boasting as the port of Anderst, although the port here is completely unqualified for "Ster".

  A steamship docked in a narrow harbour, and the only passenger walked down the harbour with a suitcase.

   "There is an exorcist carriage waiting at the entrance of the town, you can go to Rose Town from there, and we continue to search for survivors along the coastline."

   The chief mate of the steamship placed his palm on his right chest and replied respectfully.

  The first mate had seen two silhouettes on the beach approaching and only one remained, so he knew that this man had magical and mysterious abilities.

   "Maybe there are no survivors." Lu Li didn't think there were still people alive in the Shadow Swamp.

   The chief mate straightened up and said with a smile, "I have to try it. What if I find a survivor like you?"

"thanks."

  Lu Li nodded his thanks and watched the chief mate return to the deck.

  The sound of the ship whistle echoed in the distance, black smoke rose from the chimney, and the steamship sailed out of the harbor.

   Looking back, Lu Li walked past the pier where only some small sailboats and wooden boats were moored. Four black figures were waiting here.

   These people are wearing black cloaks that cover their whole bodies, and their faces are wearing ominous beak masks.

Lu Li took out the investigator badge from his arms, walked to his beak mask and stopped, only one person approached: "Your Excellency Investigator, we are the coordinators of the Exorcist United Organization, responsible for taking the survivors to Rose Town. "

   "We're going there too."

"you?"

   "My assistant." Lu Li replied.

   Hiding can only cover up the calamity, and giving Anna a formal identity can avoid many unnecessary troubles.

  Anna then emerged, her breathing stagnant in the beak mask, and said respectfully, "Please come with me."

  Three silhouettes stayed at the pier to wait for possible survivors. Lu Li followed the beak-masked figure in the conversation and walked towards the entrance of the town.

  Under the cloud of ash and defeat, there is no figure in the silent street.

  The doors of the houses on both sides of the road were closed, and the windows were blocked by curtains or blocked with wooden strips.

   The smoke from the chimneys indicates that there are still people living in these houses, and the residents have not been dispersed.

   This is by no means a good scene.

   Instead of being evacuated from the town, they hid in their houses and waited for their fate. To some extent, the Exorcist United Organization has been unable to take care of the peripheral details.

  A piece of floral curtain opened the corner of his clothes, and he peeked out secretly with big eyes of fear and curiosity, watching the silhouettes of Lu Li and the beak mask walking on the street in front of the house.

  Lu Li and the eyes behind the curtain met until they passed there.

   "What is the mask for?" Lu Li retracted his gaze.

   In addition to the original beak mask figure, this is the second time he has seen it.

   "The protective clothing made by the joint organization can prevent the attack of diseases and minor pollutants."

   A large number of corpses usually represents a possible outbreak of plague.

   "Is there any change in Shadow Town?" Lu Li asked.

"Yes, the eyeball lighthouse at the entrance of Shadow Town collapsed four hours ago, and the followers of the evil gods fought with each other. In the end, the servants of the Swamp Mother won. They dragged the corpse back to the swamp—" The relaxed tone suddenly paused, and the staff responded. Thinking of a possibility, he asked excitedly: "...is...you did it?!"

"almost."

   The receptionist bowed respectfully and said, "Your fame will be known to everyone on the Ellen Peninsula."

  Ender Town is slightly smaller than Shadow Town, and they soon reached the entrance of the town, beside a mound.

  The carriage was waiting here, and the driver who was on his way looked at the two of them with restraint and respect.

   The receptionist handed Lu Li a simple medical kit: "It contains bandages, alcohol and wipes."

   "Enough, thank you." After receiving the simple medical kit, Lu Li stepped into the carriage.

"You're welcome."

Under the gaze of    the beak mask figure, the carriage turned around and found that it drove along the dirt road to Rose Town.

  The suitcase containing Sequence 1 was placed by Anna in the far corner of the carriage. Lu Li unbuttoned his shirt and unbuttoned the gauze one after another, revealing the wound on his abdomen.

  Dried mud covered the wound, Lu Li opened the medical bag, took out the clean water, poured it on a clean towel, and wiped the area around the wound.

   The bumpy carriage made him touch the wound from time to time, frowning. Anna frowned and said to the outside of the carriage, "Be steady."

   "Uh... ok... miss."

   A hesitant answer from the carriage came from outside the carriage.

   After wiping the mud around the wound, Lu Li checked the re-opened wound. No swelling and pus, no infection.

   took the alcohol disinfection handed by Anna, Lu Li unfolded the gauze, and was held down by a white, illusory palm.

"Let me do it."

  Anna has been able to make out with Lu Li indifferently - at least on the surface.

   wrapped the gauze, Anna ran her fingertips, cut the gauze, and buttoned Lu Li's shirt.

   "Take a rest, it's still a long way from Rose Town." Ana said while putting away the medical kit.

"Um."

  Lu Li drank some water, sat by the side of the carriage, and quickly fell asleep.

  In the slightly bumpy carriage, Anna quietly watched Lu Li's profile. She leaned forward slightly and reached out to touch Lu Li.

   a little—— a little——

   The sanity counter that sounded at an accelerated rate brought Anna back to her senses.

   She retracted her palm, and her figure gradually faded.

  …

   "We're almost at Rose Town." Anna's voice sounded beside her ear.

  Lu Li slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows and sat up straight.

   Pushed open the carriage window, and the outline of Rose Town was revealed in the coolness.

   The bustling and bustling streets of Rose Town are like a market. The evacuated residents around Shadow Town are arranged here. The hired workers carry luggage and goods, and the police and the night watchmen of the joint organization are also maintaining law and order.

  This carriage from Ender Town stopped at the entrance, and the Alliance personnel went to report. After a short wait, Lu Li saw Tesla's figure appear in the town.

   "Why are you here." Lu Li asked.

   "Come with me." Tesla said to Lu Li, looking at the void beside Lu Li with a smile. "I have no reason not to ask about such a big incident on the Ellen Peninsula."

   The lively streets dispelled some depression. Tesla walked in front and led the way, asking as if asking, "The end of the Shadow Town incident has something to do with you?"

   "Almost." Lu Li's answer didn't change. "It's a long story, I'll tell you when the merchants come over."

   "Okay, the merchant is on the steam train, let's go directly." Tesla nodded.

   "Train?" Lu Li repeated in a low voice.

   "Well, the train."

  Tesla, who was standing at the intersection, stopped and motioned for Lu Li to look.

   At the end of the road, a steam train with thick smoke from the chimney stopped at the platform where the traveler looked.

   A scooter drove past the intersection ahead, and the two figures sitting in the car blocked Lu Li's sight.

  Inadvertently glanced, on the scooter, Lonely hugged his knees, listening to Fran chattering, Qiaoqiao saw Lu Li at the intersection not far away, with a bright smile on her face, she stood up and waved to this side.
