Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 511 Eighty-eight. Late night conversation

  Lu Li got off the carriage and took out the spare key in the mailbox.

   The drowsy children woke up one after another and got out of the carriage one by one, hugging the blankets.

   "Is this our new home?" The youngest girl tilted her head and looked at the foggy two-story wooden house in front of her.

  Weier glanced at Lu Li's figure and replied softly, "Yes, we will live here in the future."

  Squeak-

   pushed open the door, and Lu Li, carrying an oil lamp, walked into the house first and lit the candlestick on the dining table.

  The children with unconcealed joy on their faces poured into the wooden house, looking around as if to write down everything here, exclaiming from time to time.

   But in fact there is nothing in the empty house, including cobwebs. Only the dust and the materials that Lu Li had prepared in the corners. They were left to the Remi Jimmy siblings after Lu Li decided to go to the Lennon Islands.

   But it seems that they haven't had time to go down the mountain to get these things.

   "You can sleep upstairs, the bedroom is big enough to sleep everyone." Lu Li said to the children.

  Weier nodded and ran upstairs with her younger siblings.

   There was a clutter of footsteps, and rustling dust fell from the gap in the ceiling, followed by the inaudible voices of the children.

   A few minutes later, Wei Er went downstairs alone and told Lu Li that they had made the bed and rested. And she came down and asked what to do next.

   "This is your residence, you decide for yourself." Lu Li didn't intend to interfere too much with their lives.

  Weier's little face showed a look of loss, she thought Lu Li would stay to take care of them later.

   "I have other things to do, but I will bring you food and supplies regularly."

   "Then what do you need us to do?" Wei Er asked in confusion.

   "Live."

  It is not easy for a group of children to survive in the shadow of the last moment, even if they have Lu Li's shelter, they can only be relatively safe.

  Weier understood this sentence, hesitated a little, and finally summoned up the courage to say to Lu Li, "Can you tell me the knowledge? About those monsters."

  Lu Li looked at Wei Er calmly. She was nervously dodging and didn't dare to look directly at Lu Li. After a while, the voice that made her relax sounded.

"Can."

   This little girl is willing to pay the price of knowledge for her younger brother or sister, and Lu Li has no reason to reject her.

   After half an hour, Lu Li and Weier talked a lot. From the three organizations of the exorcist, the four weird camps: evil spirits, evil spirits, evil spirits, weirdness, to the information of sanity, and finally to all the evil spirits that Lu Li has known so far.

  【Shadow of Stealing Fire】【Bottom of the Abyss】【Shadow of Raising Lines】【Uninvited Guest】, and the source of the decline of human beings and the environment: 【Lightless Night】 and 【Beginning of Extinction】.

   Because of their catastrophic nature, such evil spirits are also known as "disasters".

  【Strange Fog】and 【Mutation Rain】are not counted in the evil spirit camp because they have not been traced back to the source.

   In the midst of this, Lu Li told Wei Er the most important point: observation.

   When encountering an unknown strangeness, no matter which one of the four camps it is, you must first keep quiet and observe the other side. If it is an evil spirit, analyze its ritual based on the opponent's form and movement.

   This is incomprehensible to a little girl under nine years old, but it can insignificantly improve their chances of survival.

   It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, the children who were used to going to bed early had already fallen asleep, and even Wei Er began to doze off constantly.

  There is nothing to tell Wei Er's Lu Li to take out the small wooden box containing the carrion from his arms and tell Wei Er that if he is sure to encounter something weird, open it and let it notify him when the crow arrives.

   This is useless, no matter where Lu Li is, it is difficult to get there in a few minutes. But it can help children not panic because of being isolated and have the courage to save themselves.

   In addition, Lu Li told her some elements of survival - they may be experienced, but they don't have a long-term vision.

   For example, hoarding drinking water, firewood, coal, and kerosene, burying domestic waste, reinforcing house doors and nailing down windows on the first floor to prevent rioting and robbers.

   "Go back and rest, remember to light two or more oil lamps, and leave at least one person to watch the night. I'll leave in a while." Lu Li handed her the key.

  Weier thanked Lu Li again, put away the small wooden box and key, and ran upstairs.

   After a while of whispering, the upstairs gradually returned to peace.

  After the children fell asleep, Anna emerged and sat opposite Lu Li.

   She was ready to listen to what Lu Li had to say.

   "What is your wish?" Lu left the mouth, always direct.

   "Wish?" Anna couldn't understand the meaning.

  Lu Li went into more detail: "What do you want to do now."

   Anna, who quietly watched Lu Li's black eyes reflecting her, suddenly avoided her gaze. This made Lu Li and Anna find a little bit of her youth and fear.

   Although they were with Anna two or three months ago.

   "I want to... be your shadow."

   seemed to know Anna's thoughts, but Lu Li's expression did not change, and continued: "You can become an independent individual and no longer completely depend on me, just like when I was away."

The    voice fell, and the cold aura of Anna's body overflowed uncontrollably, lingering beside her, but carefully avoided Lu Li to prevent him from being hurt.

  Ana's expression was filled with heartbreaking sadness, and even her speech became clumsy and slow: "But I don't want to... separate."

Anna's mood has been wrong for a long time, and Lu Li must tell her in a more courteous tone than talking to Wei Er: "It has nothing to do with separation, our relationship will not change. It's just that you have your own judgment and thinking, and what you want to do.”

   "Why do you say this?" Anna asked, tilting her head.

  Lu Li replied, "Because if you keep going, you lose yourself and become a real shadow."

   Except for herself, Anna is indifferent to everything and ignores it. Whether it's Aunt Mary or my favorite book ever.

"Is not it good?"

"This is where the problem lies."

  Anna didn't even notice her strangeness.

   bowed her head slightly, and Anna murmured, "But I don't know what I can do..."

   "There will always be."

  Anna was like a giant vine wrapped around a tree - but she could have been another tree.

   "There are many kinds of protection. Now this is my strength." Lu Li's words sounded in Anna's heart at the same time. "The other is true protection: using my own power to keep me from the weird."

   "Real protection for you..." Anna repeated Lu Li's words in a low voice.

   The cold breath gradually retracted from the illusory body, Anna nodded lightly: "I will try to change."

   Just hope that the breath of the world won't distort Anna's understanding of protection.
