Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 874 One hundred and sixty-five. Start with companions

   Strictly speaking, the founder of Shadow Church is not Anna.

   Bishop Jon is.

   Rules, status, beliefs, all at the mercy of Jon

   Even the relationship between "God and believers" is not very close. Among the 36 core believers, 106 followers, and thousands of believers, very few have ever seen Anna with their own eyes.

   Because Ana doesn't need their faith.

   It's just that Bishop Jon's belief in the Maiden's Shadow is so devout that it can continue on Lu Li.

  Because of Anna, they are also Lu Li's followers, as evidenced by the more and more silk threads lingering around Lu Li.

  The old lair of the Church of Shadows is located in the Ellen Peninsula, or it can be said to be the Lord's Continent.

  While the Badlands are more friendly to these heretics, the Church of Shadows has difficulty enjoying this treatment - because their gods are missing.

  In the barren land, churches without gods can only live in Midnight City or other small towns. As time goes by, devout believers fall into madness due to questioning gods, and shallow believers gradually convert.

  So they only kept a stronghold in Midnight City to spread the news, the symbolic meaning was greater than the actual meaning.

   This made the Church of Shadows obtuse to the news of Lu Li's return. They only learned of this information when the newspapers of the Wiener Freeze Harbor spread all over the world.

   Then, because Lu Li arrived at the Lord's Continent, he was protected and started to run around. It was difficult for them to find the trace of Lu Li, so Lu Li took the initiative to find them—

   But they weren't totally disgraceful. Because Lu Li became Bishop Jon Lu Li when he arrived at Shouwang Town and led Lu Li to the Stone Forest.

   In addition to the more symbolic Midnight City stronghold, there is also the Holy Land Stone Forest, and the Lord's Continent is their home. The strongholds are distributed in many towns, and even some gathering places have been converted into church strongholds.

  【It is known that there are their strongholds in Midnight City, Tower Wind City and Vig Town, and we are still torturing. 】

  Whoa—

   One-Eyed Vic ripped apart the parchment grumpily.

"only these?"

  The upper floor of the dark and damp dungeon, he approached the black uniform silhouette standing in a row in front of him, and asked mockingly.

   "A group of the best interrogators of the Tribunal, who have been tortured for so many days, haven't asked them where the base of these ugly bugs is, where is their old nest, and they don't even know the name of one of the bugs!"

   "The Lord's Dependent Continent..."

   A faint explanation sounded.

  One-eyed Vic turned his head suddenly, stepped in front of the defending young black uniform with a lame leg, pressed his forehead, stared at those dodging eyes and mocked: "I also know that you were born by your mother and not your father, right?"

   Ignored this idiot, One-Eyed Vic returned to his original position, looked around and said in a low voice: "Give you one last day. If you haven't pried their mouths open..."

   All disturbed interrogators knew what the unfinished words were.

  Stumbling footsteps suddenly sounded on the stone steps, accompanied by a long shout.

   "Mayor Matthaus is here!"

   Surprised trivial whispers rang out.

"Quiet!"

   One-eyed Vic shouted impatiently, telling them to shut up.

   "That flatterer? He actually came to the dungeon..."

   took out the pipe in the pocket of the interrogator's uniform that was draped over him, and put it on. He let his men spread out and stood alone in the hall waiting.

   The cluttered footsteps sounded faster than expected, and the Mayor Mateus, who he often read in the newspapers recently, was surrounded by guards and walked into the dark hall.

   His young assistant came to One-Eyed Vic and said in a business-like tone, "Inquisitor Vic, where are the two Shadow Church believers you captured?"

   "Faithful? What are you talking about?" Smoke from the lit pipe covered One-Eyed Vic's squinted eyes.

  Assistant Valendo took his eyes off the panicked interrogator, looked back at the mayor, got the signal and approached, almost feeling the heat of the pipe.

"I say."

  Assistant Valendo stared at the one-eyed with an ugly scar on the bridge of the nose.

   "Where are the believers who were concealed by you, arrested privately, and interrogated illegally."

   "...the third floor of the dungeon...the countdown."

   In the eyes of other interrogators, the upright One-eyed Vic was unwilling to bow his head.

  Ugly politics and power, even on the verge of death, a group of insatiable people still cling to them...

   "Thank you, we'll talk about your illegal interrogation without application later, please show us the way now."

  Assistant Valendo returned behind Mayor Mateus.

   One-eyed Vic glanced around, with a gloomy face, he led the mayor and others into the dungeon.

  Not far away, the subordinate who got the prompt turned around and ran into another dungeon entrance.

  …

  The taken worm returns to the long worm road connecting Watchtown and Shymfast.

   "You actually reached a cooperation with the beholder worm..."

   Jon sighed at Lu Li's ability.

   This made the "trial path to safely reach the stone forest" that they arranged for Lu Li useless.

   Not only Bishop Jon was here, but all the believers in the stone forest followed Lu Li away, ate the yellow plum grass and got into the insect path.

  The destination is Watch Town.

   As Ophelia suggested, save their comrades first.

   Bringing the Church of Shadows is a part of saving your comrades.

   In addition to looking for Anna, Lu Li asked Shadow Church to contact believers in other areas to find the missing Katerina and Andrea.

   After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at Watch Town and went straight to Hades' home.

   Shadow Church believers stayed on the ground, Lu Li and others melted the cooled rocks again and entered hell.

  Through two Hades deception levels, they come to the surface. Twisting his sight, on the hot and barren land composed of red and yellow, the evil demons in the distance are building the city wall, and Hades under the parasol is leisurely throwing the wooden stick into the distance, allowing Pusius to take it back.

   "You came just in time, I'm exercising Pusius' body."

   Finding them back, Hades waved to Lu Li who was approaching.

   "You look like you haven't woken up yet."

   Hades, who had not been in contact with humans for more than 20 years, discovered the changes in Lu Li.

   Then he seemed to notice Ophelia's existence: "Anna? The way you look... Of course, I mean you are as beautiful now as you were before."

   "She is Ophelia."

   "Well, you always have these weird...friends anyway." Purseus shrugged his shoulders, made a "hehehe" sound, picked up the water basin and called for Purseus to come back to drink water.

   "The little guy woke up soon after you left."

   In the distance, he found that Lu Li and the others had already thrown away his wooden stick, and madly wagged his two tails to avoid Hades, and threw himself at Lu Li's feet and rolled around to expose his belly.

The    **** environment made him no longer look wet, and the whispers that bewitched his consciousness no longer sounded.

   "You guys are back! Did you find Miss Anna!"

  Lu Li and Ophelia fell silent, and the eldest sister got her head out of her hood and replied, "No."
