Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1196 One hundred thirty four. Night

  Lu Li walks alone in the vast, dark plains that no one visits.

  The cold air wafts with an indescribable stench, as if rotting corpses were piled up in the depths of a distant plain.

  The fluorite in the palm of his hand protects Lu Li from being swallowed up by the dark plains at noon, and those gleams that occasionally flash in the dark are like raw meat on a trap, attracting beings wandering in the wilderness to approach.

   But in the afternoon when night falls, fluorite loses its protective effect. Luckily, Lu Li found an abandoned farm before the plain fell into darkness.

   Farm houses collapsed, leaving only barns and sheds in shape.

  Squeak-

   Pushed open the air-leakage wooden door, the dust on the ground and the debris accumulated in the corners showed that the place has been neglected for a long time.

   It should be fortunate that the farm house collapsed, otherwise the monster would not miss the opportunity to nest here.

  Lu Li took out the oil lamp in the new stomach bag, and the faint flame gradually filled the hut. The merchants who responded to the call appeared and brought the supplies and food that Lu Li needed.

  The empty windows were blocked with wooden planks brought by the merchants, and the breeze pouring into the shack was blocked, and the surroundings returned to calm, except for the whimpering of the wind blowing through the corners.

Next to the oil lamp, the sheepskin map of the old times and the weird times unfolded. Lu Li copied the location of Midnight City on the map of the old times, then looked for the surrounding farms, and relied on the merchants to judge where he was at this time—Old Moss Farm in the east of Midnight City .

  The good news is that it is not far from Midnight City, the bad news is that the Viscounty is in the south of Midnight City.

   We will continue our journey along the edge of Midnight City tomorrow morning.

  According to the arrangement of the Swamp Mother, the Land of Light has now completely withdrawn from the old sewers, and other trade points other than the Dweller Business will no longer respond. In the next few days, the Wiener Underground City will continue to publish news that the exorcist was arrested and auctioned by the Dweller business, and the Land of Light cut off the alliance with the Dweller business.

The Land of Light can't come up with a million strange currency or equivalents - and it is not easy to easily take out the forces behind the toad weirdness, so to avoid the trouble of finding the land of light, Lu Li let the mother of the swamp hide and find him The news makes Toad strangely confront the Dweller Firm.

   Even the inhabitants of Matteus and the Land of Light were deceived, and only the core allies knew about it.

Regarding the complete severing of the connection with the local people's business, if it is before the fluorescent fruit is found, the Wiener Dungeon and the Land of Light may be in a dilemma of lack of materials, but the fluorescent fruit that has been widely planted is enough to replace the supply of human beings, which are used as food Being eaten by the residents of Paradise Valley for more than 20 years is enough to prove harmless.

   Not to mention that the covenants established along the way by Lu Li allow them to purchase directly from allies, and even allow the Twisted Shadow to capture the catch in the bay.

  Perhaps the Land of Light cannot attack the land dwelling businesses, but it can already survive independently of them.

   In any case, the land dweller firm must get the price. Let's start with the trivial, handing over the sale of the Sun Box to Ghost Town.

  The dark plain became cold at night, and Lu Li, who lost the doomsday apocalypse, could bear it, but after the arrival of the strange fog, the oil lamp was extremely dim, and Lu Li could almost hear the existence in the fog wandering outside the hut, and felt that the abomination was growing in the corner of the hut.

  Lu Li had to raise a fire to drive out the thick fog that had entered the shack.

  The night in the dark plain is not quiet, but Lu Li is enough to protect himself, occasionally solving the weirdness that is too close to the shack, and supplementing the consumption of humanity.

  Lu Li saved himself from the preparations in Ghost Town. If he did not put away the Doomsday Apocalypse and let his humanity return to 1, but maintained a human nature with the Doomsday Apocalypse, being seized would drastically reduce his humanity to half. Then drag Lu Li into a terrifying place that has lost the protection of humanity.

   This incident reminded him: Never let humanity fall below 1 at any time, even if the apocalypse book is buried in flesh and blood.

   At this time, although delirium appeared endlessly due to the low sanity value, at least Lu Li could ignore them.

   knock knock --

   The leaking wooden door vibrated and was knocked slowly.

  Lu Li, who was thinking by the fire, raised his face and stared at the door quietly.

   knock knock --

When    knocked on the door again, Lu Li bypassed the fire and opened the wooden door.

   The echoes of the wilderness were suddenly clear, and the breeze blew into the hut, enveloping the dampness of the figure standing in front of the door.

   "Come in." Lu Li said to the uninvited guest, some sudden thought made him add: "I don't know what you are looking for, maybe I can help you."

   The uninvited guest who was dripping with rain and perhaps sea water left silently. At this time, Lu Li took out the wooden box with eyeballs and threw it at the uninvited guest who left wet marks.

   "Open this wooden box to summon a merchant."

  The wooden box disappeared into the dark fog with the uninvited guests.

  Squeak-

  Lu Li closed the wooden door, went back to the fire and sat down.

   The firelight licked his face, and the occasional addition of dry wood sparked the fire.

No sleep tonight.

  In the early morning, the darkness and thick fog that enveloped the dark plains gradually faded away.

   Lu Li, who had not slept all night, filled the fire with the last piece of firewood, and stood up from the spark, removed the support against the door, and opened the wooden door.

  The corpses left by the invasion of the monster last night disappeared with the mist of the monster.

  Luri looked into the distance, deep in the dark sky, the flying Jaeger who was entrenched here wandered in the airspace. He didn't find the wooden box thrown last night at the door. I don't know if it was picked up by the existence in the darkness and fog, or...

   Back at the wooden house, Lu Li summoned the businessman to bring the newspaper and opened the morning newspaper while the ink was still dry.

   "The Exorcist Disappeared After Auction by the Landman's Business"

  …

  Whoa——

   The Wiener Antifreeze Morning News was almost torn apart by the clenched palm.

   "How dare they...how dare!"

   A low growl of suppressed anger and pain sounded in the office.

   The wrinkled words [Hope of Humanity was taken away as a commodity, whereabouts unknown...] blurred and deformed.

  Mateus tore open the drawer, opened the wooden box and called for the merchant.

   "Ask the Swamp Mother, have you found the whereabouts of the exorcist?"

  The merchant conveyed on behalf of the Swamp Mother: "We are still looking."

   Wiener Dungeons are close allies, but their weakness prevents them from keeping secrets.

   "...How can the dungeon help you?" Matthaus asked.

   "Nothing can help."

   Lu Li, the most powerful, legendary, and luckiest among human beings, can't fight against the weird. How can they do it by relying on Lu Li to survive?

   Mateus slumped into the wooden chair, as if he had lost his soul. I don't know how long after the knock on the door, Maxson pushed open the door and looked at the leader and friend with a complicated expression.

   "I heard... I know you won't do nothing, what do you want to do? I have to remind you that we can't stand the toss..."

   "I will do what we can. Tell all the citizens to start learning science, occultism, and alchemy today, and we must control our own destiny!"

   Mateus's eyes fell on "The Sunken Land" beside his hand, the tragedy of Midnight City could not be repeated.
