Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 591 One Hundred and Sixty Eight. Changing Human Nature

   "It's in the house!"

  The woman pointed behind her and screamed.

  Lu Li looked at the silent house behind her, entered the backyard and stood in front of the door.

   "It's too quiet... it's over?" Anna leaned in front of the door to listen, wondering to herself. Turning her head and looking at Lu Li, she pushed the door and walked into the hut, with Lu Li following behind.

   crunch--squeak--

   The door behind him slowly closed, and the sour voice was like a long and narrow scream, announcing the arrival of outsiders to the existence in the house.

  The moment the door was closed, a cold and malicious force climbed up on Lu Li and Anna's bodies.

  Anna tilted her head in doubt, and the atmosphere of the inner world, which was more obscure than the cold and malicious malice, emanated, easily dispelling the malice.

   "People...less..."

   A badly burned face emerged from the edge of the gloom, muttering hoarse regretfully.

  It suddenly realized that its body was being controlled by an obscure force, and stared at Lu Li and Anna who had shot at it puzzled: "Why...?"

   "Where's the person in the room?" Lu Li sniffed lightly, and the smell of blood drifted down from the second floor of the room.

   "Trap...with people...cooperation..." Weird replied bluntly.

  Lu Li nodded lightly and lifted the holster of redemption.

   Half a minute later, Anna gathered up the body, and Lu Li turned around and walked out, looking for the lady who seduced them.

  …

   "They're coming for me!"

The    broom fell on the ground, and Emma was pleasantly surprised to see her companion waving to her from behind the window.

   "Are you sure your companions are like us?"

   York behind the counter grabbed the kitchen knife hidden under the buttoned recipe and swallowed nervously: "They make me feel like weird..."

  The two figures outside the door were completely shrouded in gray robes, and their faces were hidden behind the large cloaks, which were mysterious and eerie.

   "I'm sure they are the same as us." Emma, ​​however, showed an almost fanatical excitement and confidence that no one else had ever seen before: "We have hunted several monsters together, but it's not as easy as Mr. Lu Li."

   "Maybe it's a way to disguise yourself." Jemini Red said, looking at Emma and the outline of the two cloaks outside the door: "But I want to know...how did they know you were here."

   "It's a mark." Emma walked to the door and took out a handful of brown powder from her apron pocket: "We'll sprinkle it where we pass, and if someone goes missing, others will rescue him."

   hesitated for a while, but Jemini Reid didn't stop Emma's behavior, frankly speaking, thin glass and walls couldn't stop anything.

  Emma removed the latch and opened the door to let her companions in. The sound of the long street in the clatter of wind chimes also became clear, until the wooden door closed again.

  The wind chimes reverberated, and Jemini Reid and others observed the two religious-like people. The slight breathing behind the robe and the slightly bulging cloak reassured them.

  Emma first introduced the situation of Lu Li and others to her companions, and then sent an invitation to Reid, hoping to join them in church together.

  Jermine Reid declined the invitation. This is Lu Li's team. He doesn't plan to leave here before Lu Li comes back, even though there are more people on the other side.

   "I have to go back..." Emma said regretfully.

   "Of course, we won't restrict who wants to leave, I think Lu Li too." Jemini Reid swept over the two taciturn fellows in robes.

  Although Emma's two silent companions made the atmosphere a little depressed, it was still harmonious. Emma left the address of the church, saying that if Lu Li came back, he could go to the church to find them if he was interested. After saying goodbye to them, he left the clothing store with his companions.

  …

  The woman who lured them into the trap was nowhere to be found in the yard.

   "She's gone?"

  Ana followed Lu Li out, and the corpse had been fed to the ubiquitous Witherpaws in the city.

   Maybe that woman's cooperation with Weird is not sincere, she just tricks someone who wants to believe her to go in, whether it's Weird or some fool who believes.

   "Let's go."

   She probably hid long ago. Lu Li had no intention of wasting time looking for the woman who had deceived them, and went to Shuteus University to investigate.

   The result is regrettable, and the four survivors who remained at the University of Seutes disappeared. Maybe by hiding or escaping by passing the exam, but more likely by being killed by the weirdo.

   After Lu Li returned to the clothing store and told Jemini Red and others the bad news, they also had something to tell Lu Li that they didn't know if it was bad news.

   "This is the address of the group of survivors."

   After talking about Emma and her companions, Jemini Reid handed the note to Lu Li.

   [No. 8, Suopskin Street, Church of Echoes]

   "It's more than ten minutes away from here, it's faster to take a carriage." Jemini Reid added.

   "What do you think of them." Lu Li had never been in contact with them, so he couldn't judge.

  Jermine Reid said: "Well...they are mysterious, like religious, but they do things calmly and confidently."

   At least being able to casually tell another group of survivors about their stronghold is something Jemini Reid wouldn't do.

   "Cultists..."

The word    reminded Lu Li of the group of survivors in the investigator base.

   "I'll take a look." Lu Li said, putting the note in his pocket. "After cleaning up the surrounding neighbors."

   "No need? If you want to bring survivors back, the clothing store can accommodate a lot of people." York felt that it was safe enough for everyone to be crowded together.

   "It has nothing to do with it."

  Lu Li told them about the woman who collaborated with Weird they met on the way to Shutes University. Whether forced or active, the "traitor" role does exist.

  If a "traitor" is brought in, Lu Li's efforts will be in vain.

   "I agree," said Jemini Red. Lu Li can distinguish between human and weird, but he can't distinguish between human nature: "What do you want to do?"

   "Clean up a few nearby houses and leave a mark on the door. I will let the survivors look for the marked door near the crow mark in the hotel, remove the mark and hide inside."

   "Don't contact them, you are responsible for observation. If you find a survivor behaving abnormally, record it."

   This keeps the "traitor" from being directed to the clothing store, while also isolating from other newly found survivors.

   "That's it."

However, they couldn't help with cleaning the houses. They could only watch Lu Li and Anna like death gods in front of the window. They knocked on the door one by one, waited for the door to open, and walked into the house. After a while, they came out and drew a mark on the wooden door. , to the next room—

  Lu Li cleaned out a total of six houses, all in the row of the hotel, which can be easily seen behind the window of the clothing store.

When    came back, Anna was dragging the sack, but it was not the body, but the food and water found in the house. If the park doesn't end as quickly as expected, these resources will be enough for them to survive for a while.
