Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 878 One hundred and sixty-nine. Andrea's awakening

   Darkness, fog, waves that never stop.

  The rotten wooden bridge that squeaked, the ferocious keel that pierced into the sky of the eternal night, and the sinister aura surging in the deep sea.

  The ships under construction are everything for the fugitive cultists, and for this they almost make Rodster Harbor a lair. So when the sinister aura of the eternal night sailed into the bay, they quickly discovered and recognized that it was a polluted... ship.

  The pagan leader returned from the Twisted Vine Camp with the blueprint, and when he was about to dispose of the strange ship of unknown origin in the bay, he received a letter from the strange ship——

   It was an ordinary letter with no polluting power and no connection. It was written that Lu Li was in contact with Mayor Mateus, and a large ship called "Andrea" appeared during the period.

   "Help Find Katarina and Andrea" is also in the trading range.

   In the blizzard and snow, Lu Li and the others got into a small boat, led by the pagan leader into the dark ocean, and rowed towards the place where Andrea was stranded.

   Luli, Ophelia, Physius, Merchant, Bishop Jon took a wooden boat, followed by the tentacle believers and another wooden boat under their men, and on the outer side were the followers of the Church of Shadows who surrounded Luli.

   Although the wind and waves can turn them over.

   They gradually approached the polluted sea, and the obscure stench like Shymfast emerged again, and the lead-grey sea water was as dark as an abyss.

  woo——

   A whistle sounded from the depths of the mist.

   All beings feel the warning and weakness of the siren.

   Ophelia's charred body glowed dark red, and she was angry with Andrea.

   "Andrea! It's us!"

  The eldest sister who got out of the cloak waved her head and shouted.

   Its cry spread into the fog, and not long after, the second whistle sounded, turning into joy.

The pagan leader in front of    has stopped, and the frequent "cluck" of the sanity counter said: "If you get closer, humans will be affected."

   Ophelia stopped rowing.

   They were still hundreds of meters away from Andrea.

  Lu Li stood up in the swaying wooden boat, took out the fragment of the ancient image from the shelter, and held it high in the palm of his hand.

  The warm light blooms from the palm of the hand, dispelling the eternal night, fog and even the cold winter, pouring and illuminating everything around a hundred meters.

  The cultists on the wooden boat couldn't help but look back and look away, unbearable because of the scorching light of consciousness, and also because of their yearning for brightness and warmth.

   Lu Li looked into the depths of the pitch-black sea.

   A corrupted, smudge-covered black ship was quietly sunk in the sea.

   The bottom of the boat dragged dozens of harpoons like tiny tentacles.

   With the light occupying the darkness, as if the shadowy silhouette surrounding Andrea dived into the deep sea and disappeared.

  The moment Lu Li saw Andrea, part of his reason was permanently eroded by this scene, and he waited madly at the not far end.

   stared deeply at the graceful figure standing on the bow deck that only he could see. Lu Li asked the tentacle believers on the other boat, "Do you have any way to remove the pollution?"

   "Just a trivial pollution..."

   Tentacles replied.

  The pagans who attacked Andrea did not pursue them, and the remaining pollution was not a problem for them.

  The tentacled cultists paddle closer to Andrea.

   "I...also go...help."

   Ophelia can evaporate the water in the cabin, she urged Bishop Jon and Physius: "You... go back. Protect... Lu Li!"

   The light between his fingers began to dim, and Lu Li was useless here.

   "Death can't stop our loyalty to Lord Lu Li." Bishop Jon stroked his chest.

  The believers of the Church of Shadows got off the wooden boat and returned the same way.

   The fragment of the ancient statue that Lu Li was holding in his hand was no longer held high, but it still took care of everything around dozens of meters, including under the sea—

  A huge and deep shadow sailed under several wooden boats, and the waves raised up and down the boats.

   Something is staring at them.

   "Servants of the Lord, release—"

   "Wait a minute."

  Lu Li stopped the shouting Bishop Jon and stared at the giant shadows that haunted them under the sea.

  The long-lost inspiration made Lu Li feel the desire from it.

   It is not the desire for Lu Li, nor the desire for them, but the fragment of the ancient image in his hand.

   The right hand holding the fragment of the ancient statue stretched out overboard, and Lu Li gently put it into the icy seawater.

   The radiant ancient image fragment gradually sank into the bottomless sea water, and not long after, the shadowy silhouette swam over and swallowed the sinking ancient image fragment.

The instant the    light disappeared, it seemed that the silhouette of the giant shadow could be seen flipping over, revealing a white shadow on his abdomen.

  Lu Li supported the wooden boat, and the waves that the giant beast in the sea raised gradually calmed down, and it had already left after getting what he wanted.

   Then they returned to the port safe and sound.

   Andrea's Curse and Contamination will take some time to clear.

   As the morning approached, a pagan came back in a boat, out of their only boat, and headed to the bay to pull Andrea.

   After a long time, the two ships landed silently in the dark and mist.

   Seeing Andrea again, Lu Li's reason is no longer corrupted, and her curse pollution has been eliminated.

   It's just that Andrea is still seriously injured. Those harpoons, which seemed to be thrown by force, penetrated the bottom of the boat, remained on the hull, and if pulled out would only increase the sinking speed—unless those holes were patched.

   If in Wiener Freeze Harbor, repairs can be done at any time, but there is only a group of cultists of different beliefs in Rodster Harbor.

   But the fugitive cultists who made the keel and got the blueprint should be able to do the maintenance work reluctantly.

   The damaged parts of Andrea were counted and handed over to the Wiener Antifreeze Port. Three hours later, several stacks of information on how to repair the ship were taken out by the merchant Anthony.

  Lu Li gave them to the fugitive cultists as a reward for their maintenance of Andrea.

   Andrea fell into a deep sleep shortly after due to her serious injuries, but it won't be long.

During the    period, the Twisted Church sent another team to protect Lu Li, and at the same time hoped to form an alliance with the escaped believers - the alliance between the Twisted and Vine Church, the Shadow Church, and the "Fugitive Church".

   The pagan leader regretfully rejected him, and the reason was simpler than expected - after the ship was built, they would go to the uncharted waters to find a truly safe continent.

   But until they leave, this cooperative and friendly relationship can be maintained.

   Waiting for Andrea to wake up on the third day.

  Everything is not as the newspaper said, the fog tide and eternal night will dissipate today. There was no difference between noon and midnight, the temperature was cooler, and there was even frost on the harbour waterline.

  Except Lu Li, everyone showed impatience. They waste too much time.

   With each passing day, the possibility of rescuing Katarina was a little bit slimmer.

   Finally in the afternoon, Andrea woke up from her deep sleep.

  Lu Li and the others boarded the big boat and asked the eldest sister to translate what happened to them.
