Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 329 Two hundred and forty four. Story characters

  Petra's deep eyes made him feel a little deeper in the reflection of the firelight, and he asked, "How do you want us to join the shadow of the thread?"

   "The baron's bedroom." The butler looked at him and said. "A hapless maid who didn't know about it because she was resting the day before, went to the bedroom to clean up early the next morning and was pulled into the story. After we asked the insider, it said that at the place where the daily drama begins, people nearby will Automatically join the story until the number of people at the beginning is equal."

   This is why the Baron only recruits four - four innocent maids join the story on the first day.

   "Where did the plot go?" asked the little exorcist.

"There are three chapters in total so far. 'The heroine Sarah' will receive letters from the man she likes every day, and she will not leave the mansion. The plot develops very slowly. Putting aside the reality and only sorting out the story itself, this story may be a love story."

   "No love story would be called Sarah's Book of the Dead," Petra said.

   The housekeeper looked at him and said, "So it's up to you to distinguish the specifics."

   The reception room, which was flickering in the light of the fire, was silent for a moment, and the butler looked around and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

   Her gaze stopped on Lu Li, who had never spoken.

   "Have you thought about the source of the evil spirit?" Lu Li calmly stated his guess: "The newspaper said that the Baron's lawsuit was behind the scenes. Is it too coincidental that the evil spirit appeared at this time?"

   "Why do you think so?" The butler asked rhetorically, staring at him.

   "Are you worried about me?" the baron said, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

  Petra and the little exorcist looked at each other and realized something.

   "Baron..." The butler whispered helplessly, and said to Lu Li, "We will find out after this matter, and let's solve the current trouble first."

   "I have no other problems."

The housekeeper looked at the other three exorcists again, and there was no questioning, she continued: "The following is the information we have obtained so far: First, do as the evil spirit arranges, no matter what the order is. Second, the evil spirit Witherpaws appear for a certain period of time, and if you cause them to appear due to poor performance, there's still a chance for them to disappear.

   "The opportunity is usually some kind of logical word and action, in other words, you have to make the evil spirits think your behavior is reasonable-"

   Being pulled into the evil spirit ritual means that they will become the story characters in "Sarah's Book of the Dead", and they have to do things according to the most basic logic, no matter what existence the evil spirits are showing in this work.

  If they do something that is not in line with the character's own behavior, their fate will be the same as the four maids on the first day, disappearing in reality. In the story, maybe it's just an ordinary "they left in a hurry" as the ending of life.

The butler also detailed some things that Lu Li and others need to pay attention to, and finally said: "Everyone can stay in the rooms of the Baron's Mansion tonight, or leave freely, but please arrive at the Baron's Mansion before seven in the morning." Sarah' usually wakes up at seven-ten."

   The second half of the sentence was addressed to Lu Li, only he was a native of Belfast.

   In the end, the two exorcists chose to stay, while Lu Li and Petra left the mansion. The former is not used to resting in unfamiliar places, and the latter has friends to visit.

   The gathering in the garden has not yet ended, and the exorcists are enjoying this rare gathering—and there are quite a few people who plan to use the baron's invitation to raise their own weight.

  Lu Li and Petra separated at the gate and took a carriage back to the detective agency.

   It's almost eight o'clock, and there is no Union radio to listen to tonight.

  Lu Li walked to the sofa after washing up. Anna had already pulled up the curtains and lit two oil lamps.

"Good night."

   After lying down, Anna's gentle greeting came from the bedroom.

   The night was silent.

  …

   knock knock --

   The knock on the door awakened Lu Li, opened his eyes, and his confused black eyes fell towards the door.

   knock knock --

   After a momentary pause, the knock on the door rang again.

  Ana emerged from the living room and said, "It's the landlord of the longhouse."

   got up and opened the door, a face full of grease after waking up came into view, with a flattering smile.

   "Mr. Lu Li, Baron Joseph's carriage is waiting for you outside." The landlord's face was wrinkled like a daisy.

   "Thank you." Lu Li thanked calmly and closed the door.

   The big man actually said thank you to me!

  The landlord was excited, and most of the bad mood brought by the gloomy and humid weather dissipated. He lingered by the door for a while, reprimanding the other residents to walk away.

  6:20

  Lu Li left the detective agency, sat outside the longhouse and waited for a long time, gathered a number of gorgeous carriages from neighbors watching the fun, and went to the baron's mansion by the Agate Lake.

  …

   In the early morning, the lake surface was filled with a layer of mist, and the lake water swayed slightly.

  Crash-

  The sound of the iron gate opening echoed on a lake, disturbing the swimming fish that walked off the shore.

   An ornate carriage bearing the emblem of Baron Joseph's family drove into the manor.

The    carriage went around the fountain in the middle of the garden and stopped in front of the steps. A slender figure stepped out of the carriage, and the maid bowed to greet him and walked into the mansion.

   "The baron and the three exorcists are already waiting in the bedroom." The housekeeper who heard the news came from the second floor and said to Lu Li.

   "What time is it?" Lu Li asked.

   "Six forty."

  Lu Li nodded: "I haven't had breakfast yet."

   After a short silence, the butler looked at the head maid: "...Take Mr. Lu Li to the restaurant first, and then go to the baron's bedroom to change clothes."

  Breakfast at Baron's House won't be very rich, but most families can't afford it: vegetable salad, fresh milk and eggs.

  After the meal, Lu Li was led by the head maid to the baron's bedroom.

  Lu Li saw the other three exorcists who were waiting, saw the wide brown-red bed with veil hanging on it, and saw the clothes the maids were holding and prepared for them.

   "Maid costume?" Lu Li looked at the housekeeper.

  Petra and others also frowned.

"It's servant clothes, men's clothes." The housekeeper corrected Lu Li's misunderstanding and added: "Although we don't know if not changing clothes will cause trouble, but just in case, you'd better put on clothes that suit your roles. clothing."

   Lu Li was the first to reach out and pick up his clothes. He picked up the servant costume and was led by the maid to the next room to change his clothes. The remaining three exorcists looked at each other and picked up their clothes helplessly.

   A few minutes later, the four men returned to the bedroom, who had changed into their starched and washed loose servant clothes and bow ties. The baron came to the room during the time when they were changing clothes, wearing the same maid clothes and single ponytail as the maids.

   As the time approached, the housekeeper and the maids left the bedroom, leaving only the five Lu Li, waiting for the coming—

  Some kind of existence suddenly descended into the room, and an obscure ancient voice sounded deep in everyone's mind.
