Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 639 Two hundred and sixteen. Time will erase everything

The    heretics apparently got what they wanted.

  Ana thought to Lu Li after returning to the top of the cliff with the deep-sea rock fragments.

   They couldn't have released prisoners in ghost prisons just for good - and there hasn't been a noticeable increase in ghosts in Belfast.

  After they succeeded, they disappeared, seeming to be weaving an unknown conspiracy. But it's not all bad. The ghost prison has a lot of deep-sea stones, and even taking a small part is enough to complete the expansion of the refuge.

   But not yet.

   The pagans have just left, and the ghost prison may still be under their observation, and frequent approaches may attract their attention.

  Ana temporarily places her exploration in the surrounding blocks of Elm Forest.

Several blocks, including Elm Street, are occupied by weirdness, but because it is far away from the city and close to the suburbs, there are very few weirdness here, and they usually don't linger on the streets during the day, but hide in the gaps of the ruins or in the dark alley houses. .

   "I'm going to clean up some." After exploring, Anna said to Lu Li, "Leave only those monsters that can be used as food."

   "I'm with you." Lu Li put down the book.

  Lu Li has been living on the top of the cliff for almost two weeks. He didn't hate this boring and repetitive routine, even though it was very different from what he originally thought.

   "No, I'll just come." Anna didn't want Lu Li to follow, it would distract her.

   "Pay attention to safety." Lu Li did not reject Anna's proposal, and watched her quietly. "Don't forget our promise."

   The gradually cooling heart panicked for a moment, and Anna looked at those abyss-black eyes: "Of course not."

   Bringing "salvation" and silver-plated bullets, Anna said goodbye to Remi Adamfuya who greeted them, thinking about leaving the top of the cliff.

   Anna was still restless until she got close to the first monster she picked.

  Lu Li rarely speaks useless words, every word of this direct man has its purpose and meaning——

   What did he guess?

  Anna paid attention not to the shivering intangible weirdness in the water glass, shackled the space around it, and simply threw the redemption over it, just like throwing a bunch of keys.

  Redemption fell into the water glass, the empty glass rippled like liquid, and then evaporating green smoke came out, and finally everything came to an abrupt end with a shrill scream.

  Ana came back to her senses, thinking that Lu Li had already gained insignificant humanity, and suddenly remembered something that had been forgotten for a long time: the existence of death redemption will make Lu Li see the retrospect of death.

   However, because they were too far away and Lu Li had never contacted them, Lu Li could not see the death retrospect when Anna was hunting with a psychic gun. The particularity of Prada Paradise also made Lu Li unable to see the weird death retrospect of the killing.

   But Sarah Adam's death is not included.

   They were solved by Lu Li himself, and they have a deep relationship.

  What did Lu Li see at that time?

  …

  【Blood-like roses bloom under her body, and her white face makes her more beautiful than roses. Oh poor girl, she was abandoned by her loved ones, betrayed by her beloved, and cast aside by people, but her death surprised everyone. This is the most shining moment of her life...]

  【…and key points】

【Finish】

  Poof——

  Lu Li closed the book, and the air escaped from the book before the pages were closed.

   This "Shaya Romance" is the type that Anna likes, but Lu Li, who got the wrong book, still read it.

  The collection of books on the top of the cliff seems to have hundreds of books, but the paper limit of this era makes the pages thicker and the text larger. A standard two-finger thick book has only 200,000 words, or even less.

   According to Lu Li's rate of one or two books a day, the collection of books on the top of the cliff could not last for two months.

   returns to the book itself, which tells the story of a noble girl falling in love with a commoner boy. Dog blood, stereotypes, repetition, all the criticized plots that can be found in similar romance novels can be found in it. The only difference is that the tragic ending has sublimated the original plot full of clichés: the boy gradually gave up after a long time and setbacks, only the girl persisted, but was betrayed by her lover in the end,

   This book also reminded Lu Li of Sarah and Adam.

  In reality, Adam's death is the same as in the Shadow of the Strings story, where he fell from Sarah's balcony and died in the blooming flowerbed.

In    Death Recall, Lu Li, who was standing in front of the flowerbed, failed to save Adam who fell from the balcony clutching the broken bed sheet.

   He hadn't died immediately. He turned his head to look at Lu Li, spitting out blood and admonishing with difficulty: "Stay strong with your feelings and don't be wiped out by time."

   is followed by a retrospective of Sara's death: Sara, pale but beautiful, is bound by rough hemp rope, dressed in dirty linen, standing on the gallows, and below is the people who are angry and cursing and throwing stones.

  The guards left the gallows early to avoid being accidentally injured by angry citizens.

  Sara ignored the surging crowd under the gallows and raised her head slightly as if trying to show her pride. A sharp stone hit the corner of her eye and cut between her brows. Her right eye was congested and swollen, blood running along the tear streak.

  Lu Li was standing in the crowd, watching quietly without stopping.

   This is the punishment she deserves.

  Sara's neck was wrapped with a noose. Amid the clamor of the crowd, the floor suddenly cracked under her feet, and the straight noose fell to her suspended body, shaking slightly.

  's cheeks quickly flushed with blood, but Sara strangely didn't show a trace of pain, and the corners of her lips were more like a smile.

   She found Lu Li who was looking at him calmly in the crowd, the blood on his mouth turned his grin into a hideous one.

  The voices of the people gradually faded away and became irrelevant to Lu Li. All he could hear was Sarah's intermittent sneer.

   "I don't know... when your... love encounters... the same misfortune, will you... still be... indifferent..."

  Lu Li thought that Sarah said the bad luck was brought about by her memory, but now it seems she meant something else.

  The abyss is the way back for all ghosts. Even though the journey will be extremely long, it will eventually come to an end.

  Lu Li reopened The Romance of Shaya, and the title page contained a message from the author Moritz Johnston.

  Time will erase everything, including once loved ones.

The phrase    subconsciously reminds me that Moritz Johnston was a man full of stories. Even... maybe the story in the book is his own experience.

   But the hustle and bustle of the past has faded, and now there is nowhere to ask for a permit. Businessmen who trade everything may know, but Lu Li will not waste investigation points for this.

  Lu Li chose to trust Anna. But if Anna really lost her nature and fell into the abyss.

   His slender fingers touched his waist, only then did he remember that the redemption was taken away by Anna.

  …

  Weirds are all kinds of weird.

   was wiped out by Ana, and the invisible monster hiding in the water glass is just one of them.

  Ana solved it easily without even knowing what its abilities were, just like it killed humans, easily and quickly.
