Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 847 One hundred and thirty-eight. He has reason and humanity

   "Something happened."

  Lu Li did not intend to explain too much.

  Irene raised her chin thoughtfully: "No wonder I didn't see Anna... By the way, tell me the process after you met Adolf, tell me that it was the manager who just brought you here."

  Lu Li briefly narrated the conversation when they came, and the reason why they found the shelter.

   "Did he make a choice too..." Irene seemed a little happy, tapping her knuckles on the table. "And it's a very radical decision."

  噔噔——

   "One more on our side."

  Lulu walked down the wooden ladder and stood behind Irene, just as she appeared at the banquet twenty years ago with Baron Joseph in a floral dress.

   Elapsed time has taken nothing from them but itself.

   "Push me over."

  Lulu held the wheelchair and pushed Irene around the desk. Except for Lu Li, the others saw that the blanket covering them lacked the outline of their legs.

  The wheelchair was in front of Lu Li, Irene stretched out her arms and smiled at him: "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, why don't you give an old friend a hug?"

   Ophelia suddenly exuded a fiery breath.

   The evil spirit broadcast in Lulu's palm made a rustling noise.

   "Are you in charge of the shelter now?" Lu Li saw the shelter badge on Irene's chest.

   "Almost, they still listen to me." Irene said, tilting her head slightly: "Lulu, help lift my weak arm until he is willing to hug me."

  Unfortunately, Lu Li was standing opposite, and Lu Lu didn't help her raise her arm.

  Irene's gaze stopped slightly at Ophelia's body, which radiated warmth like a fireplace, and lowered her arms.

   "I can always think of the past when I see you..." She said with emotion that life in the shelter is a torment, which makes the experience on the surface the most precious memory. She misses those food, those businesses, those annoying and flattering smiles, those dancers... the men who meet again in front of her eyes.

   "And the weird people who are always around you...Tell me about the outside world?"

"Can."

   Lu Li didn't refuse, that's what he came for.

   "Call all managers to the supervisor's hut..." I told half of Irene to stop and asked Lu Li, "I remember you don't like fun?"

   After receiving Lu Li's nod, she waved her hand: "Don't call them, just treat it as a family gathering. Just tell them that the outsiders are my friends on the surface, don't let them disturb me. Make dinner according to the most abundant meal in the shelter."

   "It's... morning."

   said Ophelia, who restrained her breath.

   "Refuge time and surface reversed."

   Watching Lulu leave the hut, Irene said casually and returned her eyes to Lu Li, thinking about it.

   "The way you stay young...is it possible for others to have it?"

  …

   Supervisor's Lodge Restaurant.

  Candlesticks illuminate the steaming sumptuous dinner on the long table

   In addition to food, there are wines that have been stored for more than 20 years and equally expensive grains to make wine.

   Soon after, Irene and Lulu came to the restaurant after changing their clothes. Seeing her, Katarina suddenly understood where her hostility came from.

Irene put on a dark purple fluffy aristocratic long dress with gold threads, and a deep sapphire pendant larger than the cork on the wine bottle set off her fair chest. The delicate makeup made her look like a noble girl preparing for a bar mitzvah, and her scent was stronger than Carter's. The shoddy perfume Linna smelled on the tavern prostitutes smelled too good.

   Even Lulu, who was pushing a wheelchair, was forcibly dressed up, with short, shoulder-length hair cut only for girls.

   Apparently Irene's dinner had some thoughts.

   "It's a pity that something is missing."

  Irene leaned lazily into the armchair and looked out the window.

   The dark underground is like eternal night.

   "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Erin Joseph, the overseer of the Ellen Peninsula Refuge, who was once the heir to the Joseph family on the surface, a baron. She is Lulu, my family."

   It was Lu Li's turn, and Katarina spoke first after a brief silence.

   "Katalina, the Badlands title "Bee Stinger" hunter."

   "My name is Purseus, a member of Mr. Lu Li's team!" called Purseus, who was sitting on a chair.

   "I'm Mr. Lu Li's fiancee." Ophelia said hoarsely.

   More importantly, there is no pause.

   "My companion, who used to be an employee of the Belfast Library." Lu Li then added calmly.

   "As always, the **** charm to ghosts?" Irene's red lips pursed into an arc.

   Only the merchant did not introduce himself, but Irene knew about it.

   "Tell me about what's going on outside." Erin held up a glass of wine that was swaying redder than her lips.

   "Since when."

   "Just after the shelter was closed..." Irene asked Lulu with her eyes.

"fourth year."

   "...In the beginning, we completely lost contact with the outside world that year."

   It was a time when the world had gone from the glory days of humanity to a time of weirdness.

   Lu Li was not an experiencer, but after returning he knew what happened during that time.

   In Lu Li's unpolished calm remarks, the outside world was quickly finished.

   "It doesn't sound like it's time to go out..." Irene's eyes drooped slightly and she whispered softly.

   "So I think you'd better keep hiding in the ground." Katarina, who heard herself talking to herself, reminded her: "It's more dangerous outside than you think."

   "The cold will blow out the flames." This is what Purseus read in a book.

   "Don't underestimate the sanctuary." Erin was not angry at Katarina's offense. "We don't lack the strength to fight the weird. For example, the weird one you helped to solve, it didn't even make us sound the alarm."

   "But their way is rough."

  Lu Li recalled the scene where the residents of the shelter held torches and homologs and confronted the weird.

   No investigation, no distance, like a group of villagers hunting wild beasts.

   "After all, the last weird invasion was many years ago. Most of the residents born in the shelter have never seen weirdness." Irene sighed helplessly. "Let me tell you about the situation in the shelter...don't tell the public."

   The meaning of every sanctuary is to preserve human fire

  In the plan formulated by the Demon Slayer Association, the shelter will open when the tide recedes and the dark clouds dissipate. In the event of an accidental loss of contact with the outside world, it is up to the regulators and managers to determine the opening hours.

   All shelters are planned to be closed for more than 50 years, which is a strange departure time judged by the Demon Slayer Association.

   But the fact is that most shelters are not stable enough to last that long.

  The psychological state of the residents in the closed environment, tool storage, weird invasion, food cultivation, each of which is the trouble that the underground residents will face.

  Especially after the Deep Sea Stone loses its effect.

  Like an abandoned shelter that Lu Li escaped from the ground, it was closed for less than 20 years before being forced to open due to a strange invasion. The surviving residents became "pure-bred humans" and took them away as expensive commodities.
