Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 663 Two hundred and forty. Confused

  【We should be thankful that they didn’t cause a catastrophe. Silence does not implicate us for offense. 】

  【You may have to say "Oh my God, how can you say that they sacrificed for us"? Brave like a fool is not brave. Why do you think this kind of heady behavior won't provoke weirdo, won't make him angry and fight back? 】

  【Think about it, it’s just that its unconscious breath envelopes us like a shadow. What if it’s angry? 】

  【Fighting against the weird is just a joke, a moment of silence can easily exterminate us. Before picking up weapons against the enemy, please know that a knife and axe will not hurt a tsunami. 】

   The Faith is still jumping up and down.

   Whatever its purpose, it is indeed getting more and more people watching it. Even many newspaper scholars have attacked the Faith for its cowardice and "man on the shore" idea.

   "The Man on the Shore" is a passage written in a book by a Sloter writer hundreds of years ago. It means that a wooden boat on the sea is on fire, and the people standing on the shore are loudly mocking the panic of the crew or accusing the crew of not saving the cargo.

The phrase    is often used to satirize those who point fingers as irrelevant, or rhetoric after something has happened.

   Anyway, humanity is tearing apart.

   Faith will not be the only one. The gap has been torn open, and people's opinions will be more and more divided.

"What do you think?"

  Remi frowned and asked Lu Li. She doesn't like "Faith", and thinks that she is no different from human beings. She likes and reveres heroes like most people.

   As for The Faithful? Just a nasty squeaky rat hiding in a filthy, smelly sewer.

   "Humanity will be united by weirdness, but also divided by weirdness." Lu Li flipped through another newspaper and answered calmly.

   This will happen sooner or later, or it has happened and never stops - those believers are the pioneers.

   "You're right...but it's still uncomfortable to have someone calling for surrender when many people are still fighting." Remy sighed and put down Faith. "They don't realize there's no peace between humans and weirdos?"

   After saying this, Remi suddenly realized that the Wanghai Cliff was weird except for Lu Li, and said, "At least most of them are like this."

   "What if they have other purposes." Lu Li's calm words meant something.

   "Other purposes...what do you mean?"

   Lu Li didn't answer, he stretched out his finger and tapped on the title of The Believer.

   "Faith..." Remy vaguely guessed something. "You think they are believers of some existence?"

   "Maybe." Lu Li was noncommittal.

   "But..." A huge question was placed in front of Remi. "If that's the case, why is this "Faith" still available in print?"

   "Cooperation or something." Lu Li thought for a while, his black eyes staring at Remy. "You know, humans are never monolithic."

  Remi is a scholar, but she is only involved in weird knowledge, and her understanding of the human group is no different from that of ordinary people. Lu Li's words seemed to guide the newly-born her to the edge of a forest, and then said, "Look, the inside is where we really live."

Following the guidance of Lu Li and thinking down, Remy almost saw the situation after the "Faith" was forcibly pressed: people hyped up conspiracy theories, believing that the "Faith" was exorcised by the authorities and exorcists for exposing the truth. People close, and soon even unbelievers become suspicious and wandering because of it.

   And all this with a tiny pusher, maybe not even a pusher at all.

  Remi wanted to say something, but suddenly looked out of the cave: "Anna is back."

  嘭——

   As if in response to Remy, there was a muffled sound of heavy objects falling from outside the cave.

  Anna returned to the safe house, and when she found that Remy was also there, the smile in her eyes slowly dissipated, and a faint alert appeared.

   "I'm going to see the prey."

   As if she felt Anna's hostility, Remi didn't care and was even a little happy for her. She walked out of the safe house as she spoke, not forgetting to wake up Ampei, who was sleeping soundly in the cave.

   Maybe because the weather is getting cooler, Ampere is getting lazy day by day.

  When he first came to Wanghai Cliff, he would go to the elm forest to patrol the site or play with the children, but now he spends most of the day dozing in the dry cave and grabbing food with Jimmy.

   "Remi has been very close to you recently."

  Ana said as she watched Remi leave.

   "She has a lot of problems."

   "Why don't you ask when I'm here?" Anna's words were a bit sloppy.

  Lu Li thought about it seriously and replied to Anna, "Maybe because it's not tea time yet."

  The stupid Lu Li probably didn't realize anything...

  Ana reluctantly touched Lu Li's hair, and her eyes fell on the book with the bookmark on the desk.

   "Maple Leaf Mountains", an adventure story novel, which was newly selected by Lu Li last night.

Book……

  Anna thoughtful.

   Maybe books will inspire her.

   Probably didn’t want Anna to misunderstand. Remi didn’t enter the safe house again in the afternoon. After night fell, she and Anna Adamfuya exchanged good nights and went back to their respective cabins to rest.

  Lu Li closed the book and reached out to dim the oil light.

   As usual, he picked up the warm water cup by the fireplace and drank it, and Lu Li returned to the bed and lay down.

"Good night."

  Anna's wife-like gentle words, Lu Li fell asleep.

   crackling——

   The shadow of the safehouse swayed with the swaying flames of the fireplace.

   In the silence, Anna came to the bookshelf with an oil lamp, picked a detective novel and returned to the desk.

  Click——

   Gently put down the oil lamp, and Anna opened the title page.

  …

   "I'm a little puzzled."

   In the basement, Celica Dallaire sat cross-legged on the blanket clutching her ankles. The flame licked her face, shaking the shadow to make her without her lower lip look like a ghost. "If you really care about him, why would you want to take him out of safety?"

"I……"

   Anna, who was about to speak, suddenly became confused and didn't know how to answer.

   Every day she likes Lu Li more than herself the day before. She has never cared about him so much... But why would she want him to leave the safe Wanghaiya?

   "Is possessive right?" Celica Dallaire said at this time. "I've heard of it... Good sisters will become enemies who tear each other's hair and faces because of it, and good brothers will raise their weapons and stab each other because of it."

"maybe……"

   "You have a competitor?" Celica Dallaire asked.

  Ana thought of Remy and shook her head hesitantly.

  Remi likes Lu Li, but that likeness is close to respect and worship.

   "You saved me... I owe you my life, and I hope I can help you."

   Celica Dallaire looked at Anna earnestly, the humanity flashing in her eyes made her terrifying appearance fade a lot.

   "So I have to know why you want to do this."
