Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 744 Thirty-five. Rendezvous

   "Stolen?" The tavern owner looked at his man.

   "He did run out of Miss Hunter's room." The man replied.

   The tavern owner showed disgust on his face and waved his hand: "Sell this unruly guy to the sewer."

  Without any comments from the guests, the man calmly dragged the fainted man out of the tavern as if he had done it many times.

  The dining table was lifted, the overturned plates and wine bottles were swept away, and the tavern returned to its hustle and bustle.

  The tavern owner shouted to the huntress, "Stinger, someone wants to know what happened to the convoy."

"Who?"

   Katarina picked up her booty and daggers and walked to the counter.

   No need for an introduction from the tavern owner, Katerina was pleasantly surprised to find Lu Li who was looking at the counter.

   "You're still alive!"

   Anyone can see Katerina's excitement.

   "I want to ask that too." Lu Li remained calm.

  It's strange that Katarina is still alive, unreasonable as if she was still in the Emerald Dream - but the Emerald Dream would not have such obvious loopholes.

"Some price..." Katarina's excitement faded a lot, she realized something, and looked at Lu Li with a distrustful look: "But how can I be sure... This is not my emerald dream, or not your dream... "

   Katarina was worried about the same problem.

   "I got the cursed title after leaving the Emerald Dream." Lu Li said in a voice that only Katarina could hear. "lighthouse."

   Everything about the lighthouse came to Katarina's mind.

   "You actually faced the Emerald Dream and..." Katarina was even more suspicious of the reality of the world, but soon, she realized that it was meaningless.

  This is not a good place to talk, Katerina said to the tavern owner "You can't get your commission", and led Lu Li to the stairs.

   "There is always a chance."

The tavern owner behind    replied, as if he didn't care at all.

   Going back upstairs, Katerina closed the door and hung the latch, put her next to Lu Li and whispered, "Are you still... pure?"

   The very close Katarina and the words were ambiguous. Katarina deliberately created a misunderstanding. This is not Tangge Town, she can't believe it.

   "It should be." Lu Li said.

  The use of the lighthouse in the Emerald Dream did not reduce the human nature, and it remained at the two zero points of human nature after the increase. Sanity can't be quantified, but it's above full.

   "Very well, our agreement is still valid..."

   Katarina's fingers hooked Lu Li's collar and whispered.

  She's not good at acting, no matter her blunt voice or rigid movements, this scene has nothing to do with 嗖ni.

   But if the partition has ears, these are enough.

   "Wealth" was lost and recovered, which made Katerina excited, but worried that it was all just an emerald dream hallucination and made her worry about gain and loss.

  Loli is the same. Despite being given the title of curse by the Emerald Dream, there is still a slight chance that this is still a dream.

   Maybe it’s time to check.

  Lu Li thought of coming to Katerina's dagger: "Pull the curtains."

  Katerina drew the curtains, and when she turned around, she saw him pressing the dagger to his chest: "What are you going to do!"

"confirm."

   The sharp dagger pierced into the skin, and blood beads emerged from the edge of the sink, but the brilliance of humanity did not bloom.

   At this moment, a frightened scream sounded.

"What are you doing!"

   A ragdoll stood beside the fluorite lamp, pointing at Luli and screaming.

   But compared to Katerina's nervousness, it was more like a prank and deliberately shouting loudly, trying to scare Lu Li, causing him to open his chest with trembling hands.

   "It's the rules of Ghost Town," reminded Katerina, who was frightened.

   The puppet villain who failed in his mischief ran behind the curtain. Katerina opened the curtains, and the puppet had long since disappeared.

   Isn't this the real way to activate a lighthouse...

  Lu Li handed the dagger to Katarina, but it was certain that he had escaped the Emerald Dream

   "The Emerald Dream is not that simple. Self-mutilation cannot wake you up." Katarina put away her dagger and reminded.

   "Just testing something else."

   Lu Li replied, asking what happened after the convoy was attacked.

   "The Eternal Night lasted eleven days." Katerina recalled slowly.

   This time the eternal night was extraordinarily long, and Katarina, who paid some price, fled to the ghost town and told the ghost master about the attack on the convoy. Until the eternal night receded, the light stealer returned to the sky, and the people who went to investigate brought back the news that only a piece of wreckage was left, and there were no survivors.

   Katarina's last hope was lost, so she came to the Cape of Good Hope Tavern.

   "Fortunately, you are alive...help me to testify to the count."

   "Testify what." Lu Li sat at the table, the sky outside the window was shrouded in clouds, I don't know if it was rock magma, or a different sky.

   "The Count lost a whole truckload of goods, and they don't fully believe me. Although they didn't imprison me, they're not allowed to leave Ghost Town. Otherwise, I'd go back to Tango Town to get away from those nasty--"

  dong dong——

   Lu Li tapped on the dining table to remind Katerina.

   "—running out scary, you know what I'm talking about."

   The sound of annoyance vaguely sounded from the corner of the room.

   "Your title says it all, the Count will believe that the convoy was indeed attacked by the Emerald Dream, and let us go. Maybe he will still be interested in your...identity."

   Neither Lu Li nor Katarina needed a break, so they went straight back downstairs and retreated to the room.

   Lu Li glanced at the guests in the tavern, and suddenly heard a sharp cry for help.

   "Help! I'm about to drown!"

   A clay villain fluttered and struggled in the wine glass, and half of his body melted.

The guest who was talking to his companion exclaimed that he was going to fish out the clay villain, but the clay villain climbed up by himself, ignoring the eyes that had slipped to the corner of his mouth and the disappearing left foot, pointed at the guest and laughed: "You lose, leave us Family!"

   The guest realized something and turned to look around. The guests in the tavern were all looking at him with pity.

   He just called out his voice. According to the rules of Ghost Town, he will be driven out of Ghost Town and will not be allowed to take a step.

   The distraught guest leaves the tavern.

   "One less guest." The tavern owner who wiped the wine glass sighed helplessly.

   This is just an episode. Leaving the Cape of Good Hope Tavern, Lu Li and Katerina went to the manor of the Count.

The    manor house is similar to the Emerald Dream. After entering, the butler received them. During the conversation, Lu Li learned that the Count is not a ghost, but an ordinary human being.

   After Lu Li showed the cursed title, the butler believed them, no longer restricted Katerina from leaving the town, and invited Lu Li to be the captain of the guard——

   Unsurprisingly, Lu Li refused the high-paying job. Katerina was a little interested, but the housekeeper didn't look down on her.

   Katarina hesitated, and finally did not ask the count if he was interested in pure-blooded humans.

   She couldn't trust them.

   And Midnight City is just around the corner.
