Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 478 Fifty-five. In the mist

   "The Port of Rodster is an important port for the Ellen Peninsula and the Lord's Continent. The Council of Elders and the United Organization will not sit idly by."

   Lu Li replied, but what he said was the result under ideal conditions.

   A strange fog enveloped the city, and it was difficult for the Exorcist Union to respond quickly. If the port fell silent as Finn said, the epidemic is likely to spread—

   Belfast is no longer safe.

Snapped-

  Lu Li turned on the radio and tuned the frequency to the secret channel.

  […Uncontrollable…Swishing…to be touched by human pus, and not…body fluids…Swishing…Fusion…Ugly…Flesh…Keeping distance…Swishing…Horrible abscesses…Psychic…Swishing…Sanity pollution…Need help]

  The Exorcist broadcast was too loud to read, but it kept repeating the same passage. Lu Li listened calmly for a few minutes and pieced together the contents.

  【The port of Rodster is completely lost, but some survivors and exorcists are still fighting. Only a small part of the human pus infected by the disease spread outside the port, which is difficult to control. However, they are difficult to hide, and as long as they are discovered and dealt with in time, the spread of infection can be prevented. Do not touch human pus, and do not touch their bodily fluids, any form of contact may cause a disease for which there is no cure for the time being]

  [Their features are highly recognizable, roughly humanoid creatures wrapped in terrifying abscesses, composed of ugly flesh and blood, with variable shapes and abilities. The place where there are large abscesses growing is the place to launch the attack, please keep your distance]

  【Human pus will take physical and magic damage, usually kill it before 2 to 3 shots with a psychic gun, if it hits the head covered by abscess, it will kill human pus in one hit. Dead human pus is also infectious, please be careful. In addition to this, human pus has no sanity value pollution]

  【The human pus and the disease carried by the people are temporarily controlled in the port, but the manpower is insufficient. Please come to the exorcist from Belfast City to help, we need support】

  Lu Li adjusted the broadcast to other radio stations, which only reminded people not to go out.

  Turn off the radio, Lu Li walked over to the desk, opened the drawer, and hung the holster around his waist.

   "Shall we go to the shelter?" Anna asked.

   "Go and help."

  …

   At midnight, Lu Li, holding two oil lamps in his left hand, was walking down the silent street.

The    oil lamp emits a faint light, barely dispelling the fog around him.

   The light from the street-side windows dispels the eerie fog and spreads far along the road. There seems to be something surging in the dark corners that only light cannot reach. Contrary to what you think, the outside world is not oppressive.

   Except for the silence itself.

   Finn was able to escape alive, because of his own luck and because of these gathered rays of light.

It was difficult to rent a carriage at this time, so Anna picked up Lu Li and floated along the street to the port. The two oil lamps in Lu Li's hands collided from time to time, making a crisp sound of "ding bell, ding bell". Outside the window, only a figure can be seen floating in the air and passing quickly.

  The keen Anna felt the presence of the surging mist in front of her from time to time, hugging Lu Li and bypassing it far away.

   Just relying on low sanity to get the inspiration ability, Lu Li can't perceive the weirdness outside the range at all.

   Drifting through a few blocks, the shrouded fog suddenly turned a fiery cloud-like light orange-red, and deepened as Anna moved.

   The smell of burning wood began to waft in the air and a faint shout came from a distance.

   "There may be a fire ahead." Anna looked forward, her eyes seemed to penetrate through the layers of fog and saw the burning house. "Want to go around?"

   "Yeah." Lu Li in Anna's arms said calmly.

   Holding Lu Li back to the intersection, Anna passed through another block.

   During the ten-minute journey to the port, they encountered three houses that were on fire. There was even a wooden house that had just smoked, and the residents fled in panic.

   They saw Lu Li in a strange posture, as if being held by an invisible existence, floating in the air, closing their mouths in fear, averting their eyes and daring to look, as if Lu Li himself was a being in the fog.

When    was near the port, only one or two blocks away, Anna put down and left.

   "There are many people ahead." Anna, who felt the human breath, said, preparing to hide her figure.

   "Don't go back to the world."

  Lu Li stopped Anna's actions.

   There are many exorcists gathered in the port. If Anna, who has been unable to restrain her breath, hides in the inner world, it may cause misunderstanding.

  Anna floated beside him, and Lu Li walked forward. As they approached, the fog faded, and some figures with torches and oil lamps came towards them.

   But they are not exorcists, just ordinary people.

   The residents who lived on the coastal streets near the port were evacuated by the police and moved to the open area.

   They noticed Lu Li and the phantom-looking Anna beside him, and they avoided them in panic and noisily, not daring to look at them.

   It seems that Ana should hide in the inner world temporarily.

  Lu Li thought, but before he could say anything, a young man roared and rushed out from the crowd.

   "You monster! I'm going to kill you!"

   His companion stopped him and dragged nervously around the corner.

  Anna was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was scolding herself, and a trace of tyranny flashed in the depths of her eyes.

   "Come on! You bastard's monster! Kill me! Just like you killed my sister!" The man whose eyes were red and swollen, as if he had cried not long ago, struggled hard and cursed at Anna.

  Anna suddenly looked at Lu Li and explained seriously, "I don't."

"I know."

  Lu Li looked at the man who lost his mind and scolded him more and more, and frowned, "Tell him to shut up."

  嘭—

   The voice fell, and the man who was breaking free from his friend felt like he was hit hard, his body froze for a moment, and then he knelt on the ground with his stomach covered, retching violently.

   This scene intensified the fear of Lu Li among the surrounding people, the commotion dissipated, and he began to trot away from Lu Li as much as possible.

The commotion in front of    was finally discovered by the police officers in the team. They shouted to stop the panicked people, and then looked at Lu Li and Anna vigilantly.

  Lu Li took out the investigator badge and said, "Senior investigator Lu Li, I'm going to help at the port. He abused my assistant and was taught a lesson."

  The police officers looked at each other, the middle-aged deputy sheriff sighed with relief, glanced at the man who was kneeling and retching, and said with disgust, "Idiot."

"You **** Your Excellency the exorcist to the port, and don't let these unsightly civilians approach." The deputy sheriff instructed his subordinates, then bowed slightly to Lu Li and said, "The safety of Belfast is up to Your Excellency. "

  Lu Li didn't speak, just nodded and continued to walk forward.

   Lu Li's calm voice sounded as he brushed past the retching man.

   "Rationality is the reason we overcome weirdness, don't use courage in the wrong place."
