Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 1457 Bizarre Syndrome.

   In front of the door of the activity area, there was a dim light that could only cover the door.

  The guard who guarded himself from theft unlocked the door and peeped into the activity room.

  The activity room was flickering with flickering lights, revealing a rather spacious space. It seems to vaguely see TVs with flickering snowflakes and fluorescent vending machines.

Da da da-

  The vast activity area has not yet been explored, and in the depths of the dark corridor behind, tonight's first guest stumbles.

  Lu Li recognized the silhouette walking to the edge of the light, Adangfuya. At night, she seems to be a silhouette shaped by mist, nightmare and darkness, like a reflection or a shadow in the water.

   "Can I go in?" Adangfuya asked.

   "Sorry, only those with qualifications can come in."

  Lu Li rejected Adang Fuya who was obviously not qualified. Watch her eerie return to darkness.

  At the corner where Adangfuya disappeared, another silhouette emerged.

  The shadow of the tentacles dragged the outline and squirmed, and gradually became clear, and a silhouette that should not be here and should not be in this image emerged—Little Linna in the image of a living tree.

   "I want to go in."

   "Sorry, you are not eligible."

  Lu Li rejected little Linna, observing her at this moment—like shadows and mist, her figure was mottled and faded, like a cloud of shadows.

  Little Linna, who didn't attack Lu Li, left. Not long after, a silhouette appeared around the corner again.

  The third patient, Lu Li, felt strange. It is like a wall, with its head pressed against the ceiling, and its strong body with sharp edges and corners. But as it got closer, Lu Li discovered that it was a rocky outline made of mottled and faded limestone.

  It pushed open the door, and got into the activity area with a low body.

   There was no dialogue from the beginning to the end, and Lu Li did not stop it.

   Fists are its credentials.

  Patients kept showing up, he never knew that the hospital would be so busy at night—

  Lu Li knew many of these patients, and some of them were unfamiliar, but they all showed indifference to Lu Li—they only thought of Lu Li as a guard, a profession, and a symbol, not an acquaintance who was still talking to him during the day.

   Especially those patients who should have been discharged from the hospital appeared one after another. Mildred Hampley, dog meat, evil depravity... It seems that the activity area has an indescribable attraction for these shadowy round pools.

  Lu Li can only rely on observation to judge whether they are qualified to enter the activity area.

   Lu Li, who was unfamiliar with his work in a security uniform, might have blocked the qualified patients, or let in the unqualified patients.

   Dawn breaks.

  The mist outside the window gradually became colorful, and no more patients entered—the patients who entered did not come out as if they had disappeared. Lu Li stared at the dark and silent activity area, locked the door and left.

  …

"you failed."

   In Ward 208, the gatekeeper looked at Lu Li mockingly, "You let in people who shouldn't be in..."

   "What will happen to me?"

   Lu Li, who hadn't slept for two consecutive nights, asked calmly.

   "The horrible punishment you never want to face..." The gatekeeper's tone gradually became cold, his lead gray eyes fixed on Lu Li: "Crying in despair, screaming in pain—"

   "—but I decided to give you another chance."

  He suddenly threw back the key chain that Lu Li had returned to him.

   "Stop causing trouble."

  Lu Li received the gatekeeper's kindness and the keychain: "You can tell me which patients are eligible and which are not."

   "I can also guard the gate for you." The gatekeeper replied bitterly.

   "What are those patients who want to enter the activity area?" Lu Li ignored his sarcasm.

   "You are just a doorman, don't know what you shouldn't know."

  The gatekeeper had no deep taboo about this, Lu Li recalled the silhouettes that looked like phantoms.

   Are they really patients in this hospital?

  Pass past Pig King's bed—he was also one of the patients who wanted to enter the activity area last night. Lu Li returned to his ward first, saw that the calendar had changed to "Eleventh", and then went to find Adangfuya.

"Why do you ask?"

  When Lu Li found Adangfuya, her answer was similar to what Lu Li imagined, "I rested after dark and never left."

  Patients have no idea what happened last night—

   What are those faded silhouettes like shadows?

   "How much do you know about the activity zone?"

  Lu Li asked Kate and Crow Mask respectively. The former didn't know about it, and the latter told Lu Li not to meddle in his own business.

  Kate and Raven Mask are obviously not "qualified"—their phantoms from last night are also not eligible to enter the event area.

   At the same time, the punishment for not sleeping for two nights was happening to Lu Li: today's dusk came earlier than yesterday.

  Thinking of the good, the night should pass faster.

  Lu Li barely had time to inquire about information with other patients, so he sent the wheelchair girl back to the ward, and stepped into the corridor in the shadow of evening.

   There was another piece of good news—he was able to continue wandering around the hospital at night for a short time.

   Most of the doors of the wards were still locked, even the worms in ward 209 locked their doors—but the door of 212, which Lu Li never had a chance to visit, was unlocked.

  click—

  The slowly opened door slammed into the wall, making a soft noise.

  Wearing a security uniform, Lu Li stood outside the door to observe the ward, and the three patients in the ward were watching him.

  A festering, crooked old ghoul with slender sharp claws and a blood-colored snout; a disheveled figure with six spider limbs. A thin, unnaturally twitching girl.

  【212: Blood Spirit; Spider Princess; Snot】

  Lu Li can easily match the list of patients through their characteristics.

"Do you need help?"

  Lu Li used this sentence to ask them in turn.

  Blood Spirit remained silent, while Spider Princess was talking to her six limbs, tilting her head with snot in her nose.

  Lu Li, who didn't accept any commission, had to leave temporarily. After confirming that the door of Ward 213 was also closed, he went straight to the door of the activity area.

   Still shortly after opening the door of the activity area, a strange shadow patient appeared.

   "The event area is under maintenance tonight, you can come back tomorrow."

   Lu Li said to Pig King's shadow, who left muttering something.

   Not long after, the second patient came.

   "The event area is under maintenance tonight, you can come back tomorrow."

   Still the same rhetoric.

  Lu Li couldn't tell who had the qualifications and who didn't. So it's better to simply prevent all patients from entering - just for one night anyway.

  …

  In Ward 208 in the early morning, Lu Li talked to the gatekeeper.

   "I made it."

   “…eligible patients didn’t get in either.”

   "But ineligible patients were not able to enter the activity area."

   This is undoubtedly a trick, but it does not break the rules. Even the superficially harsh gatekeeper couldn't be harsh on Lu Li: "Collect your reward."

  The gatekeeper took back the keys and guard uniforms, as well as the right to explore the night.

   "I allow you to visit the event area tonight."

  Lu Li wasn't happy because he suddenly remembered that he didn't have a flashlight to overcome the night.

  He needs a flashlight to enter the activity area, but he has to enter the activity area to get the flashlight.
