Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 761 Fifty-two. "Illustrated Book of Weird Communities"

   Although his black hair was sticky with dried mucus, even though his face was stained with dust. But the old man remembering the old days remembered everything.

  Professor Nuno Alexandrovich's skinny palms had nowhere to put down, the circles around his eyes gradually turned red, and his lips were squirming and it was difficult to open his mouth.

   "My God...how is this possible...you...you're still alive?"

   Lu Li nodded in response.

   The trembling skinny palms supported the edge of the sofa, propping up the aging body.

   "Please wait a moment, I'll call those old guys..." The old man said excitedly, his staggering steps made one wonder if he would fall.

  .

  The door closed, and the sound of short footsteps behind the door gradually faded away.

   Katerina stared blankly at Lu Li: "The song he said was about you...?"

"Um."

   "But you never said..."

   "You didn't ask."

  Lu Li remembered the song. The source of the ballad that tells everything is the séance rope, or is it Anna?

  Katarina suppressed her surging emotions and realized that this was a good thing—the treasure in the treasure chest was much richer than she thought.

   Maybe you can get the resident status of Midnight City!

   Until the loud footsteps and shouts came from outside the office door, the wooden door was violently smashed open, and the guards crowded outside the corridor were revealed in the splash of sawdust.

   "It's them!"

   All of Katarina's wonderful fantasies shattered like a bubble.

   "We've been fooled!" With a low growl from her throat, Katarina drew her dagger and confronted the guards.

   Homologs do not work in humans.

  Lu Li judged something from the guards' flinching and said calmly, "What happened."

   "Don't you know what you are doing!" the guard shouted Se Li Neihan.

During the    confrontation, Lu Li learned what happened after Professor Nuno Alexandrovich left the office.

   Excited Professor Nuno Alexandrovich went to their old buddy, but he ignored his physical condition or got too excited and fell in front of the guards.

   He passed out before he caught the guard and said "people in the office", and was arrested by guards who thought there was an intruder.

   This kind of thing is ridiculous.

   "Just in a coma?" Lu Li asked.

   "Did you do other tricks!"

Lu Li shook his head and said calmly: "We are the guests of Professor Nuno Alexandrovich. He was excited because he knew something, and he was probably in a coma. We can stay here and wait for him to wake up. If you are worried, call Come to his colleagues to confirm our identity."

   Perhaps because of the reasonable content, perhaps because of his breath, the guards accepted this method, exited the office, and controlled them in the room until Professor Nuno Alexandrovich woke up.

   "I thought there was going to be a fight."

   Katarina put away the dagger: "Is this how the people of Midnight City deal with problems? The strong and the weak in our place will not be reasonable..."

The    words did not conceal his longing for Midnight City.

  Lu Li walked to the window and looked at the garden. Several guards gathered downstairs to watch over them, but sat idly on the flower terraces and benches.

   It's more of a malfeasance than the way Midnight City handles problems.

  A broken university?

   "There are a lot of books here..." Katerina, who was wandering around, came to the bookshelf: "What is a university?"

   "A place to impart knowledge."

   "Knowledge? That sounds scary..."

   Katarina avoided the bookshelf as if she saw pollutants, and wandered to the painting.

  This oil painting is called "The Great Migration of the Rotating City". The crowd is rushing out from the mottled city gate, and the figures on the high platform next to it are clearly visible.

   "Is that you?" Katerina saw the outline of a black hair and black eyes, and turned to look at Lu Li.

"Um."

   "Who is standing next to you?"

   She pointed to a majestic silhouette.

   "The Lord of the Spinning City."

   Katerina's finger pointed to the right side of Lu Li in the oil painting: "Where's this guy?"

   That is the outline of Dao's body shrouded in black robes.

"mine……"

   Lu Li's words stopped.

   "Huh?" Katerina looked back in confusion.

   Lu Li's black eyes drooped slightly and replied softly, "Family."

"and after?"

   Katarina had already guessed the ending of the story, but couldn't help but ask.

   "She became an evil spirit."

   "Evil spirit...that girl's shadow?"

  Katerina suddenly remembered the news that Lu Li had been inquiring about.

"Um."

   Katarina retracted her fingers like a flame, and stopped stumbling back to the sofa and sat down.

  Lu Li left the window, walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a book.

   "The professor said not to open notes from unknown sources."

   Open the "Geography of the Dark Wilderness", the title page reads the 24th year edition of Weird Times, which means the current edition.

The dark map on the    homepage presents the outline of the dark fields.

   There are more than a dozen towns in this dark wilderness, which consists of parts of the old river plain and surrounding areas.

  Midnight City is in the west of the dark field, and Ghost Town, Leviathan Town, and Tango Town are also on the map, in order to the east.

  Tanggo Town is almost on the edge of the depths of the Underdark.

   In addition to towns, there are spooky lairs represented by dark skull symbols scattered across the map.

   They are more numerous than towns, like evil spirits wandering around towns, waiting for an opportunity.

   "The book in question doesn't sit on the shelf."

   Lu Li replied, flipping the pages.

The content behind    is not as detailed as imagined, or even rudimentary. There is only a passing mention of their size and rules about the towns, no mention of the gods, and no mention of the monstrous lairs.

   As if people lost the ability to record.

   Afterwards, Lu Li opened a few more books, all of which have the same major diameter and are only briefly described.

The advantage of    is that you will not be polluted by books, and the disadvantage is that you can only know a little about everything.

   This loses the meaning of the record that the book is supposed to carry.

  If people today can only read this kind of knowledge, the ruin of the school will become justified.

   was about to put it back on the bookshelf, when Lu Li suddenly saw an uninterested book in the crack.

   took it out, and it was covered with a thick layer of dust representing a long absence.

   This book is called "The Illustrated Book of Weird Communities", and there is a line of motto under the title.

   - when you open it, it means you are ready

   After a short pause, Lu Li brushed off the dust from the cover and opened the book.

  【Part 1·Ghoul Community】

   Opened the first page of the yellowed parchment, and a sketch appeared on the back of the paper.

   That is a sketch of a ghoul, with the words [Ghoul Civilian] below it.

   Another page records the text describing it.

  【This upright humanoid monster has a dog-like muzzle, a curved back, and sharp claws that hang almost at the feet. It's close to what people think of a werewolf, but it's usually not that tall, or even shorter than a female. They are badly decayed and parasitized by fungi, which means that the plagues and viruses they carry are just as deadly as the claws and fangs themselves. 】
