Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 320 Two hundred and thirty-five. "Evil Spirit Observer"

   A pitch-shifting, screeching noise suddenly came from the radio, as if one conversation was intermingled with another garbled, awkward sound.

[Don't watch... woo woo... The weather in the eastern part of the Ellen Peninsula will be cloudy to light rain tomorrow, and the temperature will be between 8 degrees and 13 degrees. People who go out should remember to add clothes... woo woo... *noise* 10 million... woo woo ... watch it... woo woo... please enjoy *playing background music*]

   The eerie restlessness of the radio was not an auditory hallucination, because Anna's attention was also drawn to the radio.

  The soothing music came through a poor radio and became like a sharpening noise. The strange clutter sounded no more, as if it had never been there.

  Lu Li retracted his gaze and said to Daisy who had just spoken in the microphone, "What did you say?"

   "Uh...Did I say I can call you when it's time? I'll call the police before that."

"Can."

   "Okay, then Mr. Lu Li, good night. Greet Anna on my behalf."

   The arm holding the microphone fell. When Lu Li was about to hang up, Anna stopped him and muttered that she was not finished talking.

  Lu Li handed the microphone to Anna, and went to the radio to adjust the frequency.

   The sanity counter on his wrist didn't make a sound, and Lu Li's inspiration and Anna didn't notice something different before, but the information attached to the noisy sound of intrusion did make people a little concerned.

   But Lu Li adjusted it many times and fluctuated up and down the band of the "Daily News", but that strange noise never appeared again.

"OK, good night."

   Anna at the desk said into the microphone, hung up the phone, and looked towards Lu Li: "Would we like to use the radio for now?"

  Lu Li didn't speak, thinking quietly.

   Ever since he became an investigator and was exposed to the truth of this world, Lu Li has been faced with conflicting choices.

   Whether looking for a way back or avoiding potential dangers, Lu Li has to acquire a lot of knowledge to enhance himself. The crux of the matter is that acquiring knowledge is inherently risky.

  Like Thomas, he read the ancient book that killed him for that knowledge. He was full of confidence that the ancient books would not harm him.

   Then he was mashed into flesh in an instant, and it took a lot of effort for the follow-up staff to sort out his corpse.

   Many times, you cannot tell whether the knowledge you are exposed to is taboo distorted or harmless.

   Like Daisy's professor, who was obsessed with getting notes from hundreds of years ago. But before he read it, no one knew whether the notes were just ordinary notes or full of distorted knowledge.

   Inspiration and Sanity counters are just a layer of insurance. To put it mildly, they can only find as weird as they can.

   It's like a warrior facing a locked treasure chest with that razor-sharp sword in it. The brave must break the treasure chest to get the sword.

   But he has to get the sword to break the treasure chest.

   It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, Lu Li will face the same contradictory choices: choosing to acquire knowledge, he may be distorted in his mind, some with good luck will become lunatic, and some with bad luck will be turned into weirdness. Refuse to acquire knowledge, and all troubles go away from him, but the ignorant will die of ignorance.

  Lu Li has to sway between these two choices. He can neither acquire knowledge indiscriminately nor reject all knowledge. This road is long and difficult - Lu Li must make the right choice in every encounter that follows.

  Anna cannot choose instead of him. She can just ignore Sanity, but in other respects, she is no different from most ordinary people.

   The illusory white tender palm swayed before his eyes.

  Lu Li broke away from his thoughts and looked at Anna who was shaking his arms.

   "What's wrong?" Anna asked, tilting her head.

   "I'm thinking about something, just use the radio normally." Lu Li replied calmly.

  Anna didn't want to let Lu Li go like this, she guessed randomly: "Are you worried about the door and tentacles? I think it should be fine, they haven't appeared for a long time, haven't they?"

The last time    "door" appeared was in the sheltered place of Wanghai Cliff, the blood-colored tentacles did not move after drilling into Lu Li's eyebrows, and disappeared together with Richard - but it still exists in Lu Li's head.

  Anna's words reminded Lu Li that the information on the "door" and "blood tentacles" sent to the headquarters has been silent for a long time, as if...

  …

   "Haha, that's a good idea. You've completely adapted to being an exorcist." Tesla on the other end of the phone laughed and said, not dissatisfied with Lu Li's guess. "Don't worry, the headquarters is special, it is almost impossible to be destroyed. I can't tell you the specifics, when you are promoted to senior investigator, you will be eligible to know something deeper. But the thing you said I will urge the headquarters, there has been too much trouble there recently."

   The next morning, Anna was in the kitchen preparing food for the day, and Lu Li called Tesla at this time.

   Having said this, Tesla sighed.

   "Don't tell me, you should know what we're up against."

  Lu Li could of course guess the trouble they were facing.

   Before hanging up, Lu Li remembered what happened last night and told Tesla about the strange sound on the radio.

Surprisingly, Tesla replied with a smile that couldn't help: "Of course it's not some kind of weird... I'm sorry, I should have told you sooner. That's the radio station that the league organized on Tuesday, a secret frequency, only for the three major organizations. And some qualified exorcists. There will be broadcasts every night from 6 to 7, usually with some knowledge that will not have any impact, and the occasional show 'Evil Watcher'"

   "As you might expect, the 'Ghost Watcher' program will introduce listeners to a known Wraith, including its form and its rituals."

   Lu Li asked, "What was yesterday?"

"The Crowd of Dates, or the Unseen Crowd. A chilling but easy-to-treat wraith in the form of an upright shadow. Your perspective will change very strangely when you are about to appear around. At this time you Just close your eyes or don't look at it and you'll be fine."

  Lu Li wrote these down and continued to ask, "How do I listen to the radio."

   "I can ask the league staff to go over and adjust the frequency for you."

   "I'm going out later."

   "Then I'll give you a number, just call when you're free."

"Can."

   After finishing the matter of the radio station, not long after hanging up, another call came.

   "Here is 'Healthy and Happy Everyday', I'm your good friend Marcus!" A relaxed and cheerful voice came from the microphone, with a sunny taste in the gloomy weather.
