Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 339 Two hundred and fifty-four. Sarah's Book of the Dead

  【Guests walk between the hall and the manor. 】

   Black silhouettes lingered in the cold windswept halls and the thundering manor.

  【Brightness and warmth create the atmosphere of a dinner party. 】

   The swaying chandeliers on the ceiling of the hall made a rattling sound, and the hall flickered and darkened, setting off the eerie black silhouettes.

   [The guests chatted in low voices, occasionally looking at the protagonist of the dinner party—a handsome, slightly thin-bodied young nobleman. Another protagonist, Sarah, is coming. 】

   Obscure and incomprehensible, a strange voice like a whisper is poured into the ear in the whining wind.

   The baron, Lu Li and others who came here observed the uninvited guests in the hall and the manor.

   Each dark silhouette has its own behavior as if they were really people.

  【Sarah is as conspicuous as the morning star in the sky, more and more guests find the beautiful figure walking towards the hall. The viscount who was chatting with Count Fran's youngest son in a low voice saw his daughter's appearance, "Everyone, everyone knows the real purpose of this dinner party. That is my daughter Sarah, who will be with Count Fran's youngest son Fran. Francis confirms the engagement!"]

   "It's badly named and sounds like a stammer."

  The baron in maid uniform leaned against the door and muttered in a low voice.

  Lu Li and the others are watching the fun, and the plot of this episode has nothing to do with them.

  【Sarah's face wore the most standard smile in the etiquette class, and she came to her father in the road that the guests gave way. She was staring at her with uncomfortable eyes, and Francis' eyes made her feel like she was looking at a prey. 】

   [The Viscount announced their engagement later, Francis embraced Sarah's slender waist, and Sarah's panic at that moment was overshadowed by blessings and applause. "Will Adam come?" Looking at the faces of the guests, Sarah suddenly felt a little confused. 】

  【“It would be nice if the person being held by Francis was himself.” The maid Irene not far away was longing in her heart, but she didn’t notice that the servant Lu Li was watching him silently. 】

  The baron turned his head subconsciously, just in time to meet Lu Li's gaze.

   "Tsk." David tutted lightly, waving his palm at the tip of his nose.

  The obscure ancient voice disappeared temporarily, no longer sounded, as if... doing something else.

   It took a long time before the obscure ancient voice sounded again.

  【"The two of you go and talk, Francis, Sarah will be handed over to you." The viscount was as kind as his father. "Okay Viscount." Francis bowed slightly and took Sarah to the corner of the banquet. The maid Irene wanted to follow up subconsciously, but was stopped by the Viscount who found her, and asked the servants, Irene and Lu Li, to serve the guests. 】

  【For some reason, a sadness and unease suddenly surged in her heart, as if something bad was happening. 】

  The baron and the exorcists looked at each other, spread out to make sure they weren't too far from each other, and walked through the banquet, pouring black drinks into the black glasses in the black hands of the black silhouettes.

  The obscure ancient voice disappeared temporarily as Sarah and Francis quietly left the banquet.

  Perhaps Sarah took Francis into the middle of nowhere and killed him.

   The baron thought to himself as he held the plate with the wine glasses on it.

   Heavy rain and darkness obscured the view, and soon they could not find where Sarah and Francis were.

  The torn lightning in the dark clouds reflected the majestic rainy night like day. Standing under the cold rain, the clothes were soaked almost instantly, and the temperature was quickly drawn away from the body.

   But for the black silhouette, it was a lively dinner party on a cool evening in the middle of summer.

  The light from the street lamps in the manor struggled weakly in the majestic rain, radiating a hazy light. Unconsciously, Lu Li came to the path near the bushes.

  On rainy nights, only vague outlines can be seen.

   But at this moment, an obscure ancient voice sounded in Lu Li's mind.

  【Sarah wants to push Francis away, but even the strength of the frail Francis is not something that Sarah can resist. She is controlled by Francis, and the originally handsome face is fiercely close. 】

  Lu Li looked around, the majestic rain blocked his vision, and he couldn't find anything.

   [Sarah wanted to shout, but was tightly covered by a hand, her struggle could not reach the dinner party dozens of meters away, and tears of despair fell down Sarah's face. 】

   Lu Li frowned, he was going to say something, but he coughed a few times.

   "Cough cough..."

   "Go back to the hall." Anna's worried voice came from the void.

   It is easy to get sick in such heavy rain.

  Lu Li didn't speak, his black eyes narrowed slightly to the surroundings.

   Suddenly changed because of the obscure ancient voice.

   ["Cough cough cough..." A cough sounded like thunder not far from the bushes, Francis stopped and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound. Sara's eyes widened, and she suddenly bit down on Francis' hand with force. The pain that suppressed her voice sounded. Sara broke free, lifted her skirt and ran out of the bushes. 】

  【"Damn!" Francis cursed lowly, looking down at the palm that was bitten and bleeding, reluctantly at the back that ran away in a panic. "Forget it." Francis thought to himself, he will have many opportunities to be "tender" with his fiancee in the future. 】

   After listening to everything silently, Lu Li returned to the hall, blocked Petra, who was holding a plate and played the waiter, and whispered, "Francis wants to be mean to Sarah."

  Petra's eyes narrowed slightly.

   "Wait a minute." He said to Lu Li, walked away temporarily, called Davillola and the baron, and then asked, "What happened?"

  Lu Li briefly narrated what he heard and said, "He was finally scared away by my cough."

  David looked up, there were no black mist threads and dry claws on the ceiling, and said to Lu Li, "It sounds like you saved Sarah once, maybe she will be very grateful to you."

   "She doesn't know who is coughing." Lu Li replied.

  Unless he ran to Sarah and said he helped her, but it was meaningless.

   "Where is she now, in her room?" David asked.

   "It should be, we continue to play a good role." Petra said, holding the tray and walking towards the black silhouettes.

   Lu Li and the others dispersed.

  …

  In the bedroom where no one is, the story moves forward slowly like gears.

   [Sarah staggered back to the bedroom, her hair was loose, and she even lost one of her shoes at some point. 】

  【Fortunately, Sarah can get rid of all this soon. 】

  【She took off the only shoe she had left, walked barefoot to the balcony, and suddenly froze. 】

  【The sheet she tied to the balcony was broken, leaving only a small piece hanging on the guardrail. 】

   [Sarah dazedly came to the guardrail and looked down. Sara was surrounded by boundless fear, and the figure surrounded by flowers was so familiar. 】

  【The bright red liquid spread out under Adam's body, the vitality disappeared in that body, and the clear eyes like stars were no longer half color. 】
