Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 667

  【Watching Town...a nostalgic place. 】

  【There has been little change here for so many years, I wonder if he is still here? 】

  【I should leave, this is no different from Belfast. 】

  【To replenish some supplies, I plan to continue westward and go to Xingchen Town, which used to be our home. 】

  The short letter silently told Aunt Mary's thoughts and whereabouts.

  Xingchen Town is to the west of Sugard Mountain, only fifty miles away from Shymfast.

   "It's getting dark, we'd better leave tomorrow morning."

  Ana looked out the window, the street was getting dark, and the dormant darkness was eager to try.

   They are looking for a room in a hotel where they can rest for the night. Anna found the attic. Fortunately, it was not looted. Except for an oil lamp and a few candles, there were also bedding piled in the corner-someone used to lay the floor in the attic.

   Before the outside world was completely shrouded in darkness, Anna found a plank and nailed the window. Unreservedly release the aura of resentment, warning the approaching weirdness.

   The low, narrow attic inexplicably creates a sense of security. At least Celica Dallaire is no longer shaking, and her heartbeat is no longer so clear.

  Lu Li put down the oil lamp and sat beside him.

  Ana opened the can and distributed it to Lu Li. After a pause, she opened another can and handed it to Celica Dallaire.

   "Thank you..." Celica Dallaire stiffly took the can.

   The meaty aroma that was not strong poured into the nose, but Celica Dallaire couldn't help swallowing. She glanced at Lu Li, saw that he didn't pay attention to her, grabbed a piece of meat and put it into her mouth.

"Well……"

   Celica Dallaire groaned and covered her sore cheeks.

   The gauze stained with the canned soup slowly oozes blood.

   "Reduce chewing." Lu Li told her.

  The location of the wound is very bad, and the conditions are limited, I am afraid it will take several months to heal.

"Um."

   Celica Dallaire nodded and slowed down her chewing speed slightly, but she still ate quickly.

  After dinner, Lu Li gave the floor to Celica Dallaire who needed a rest.

  The attic is not convenient to have a fire for heating. Fortunately, the cold wind is blocked outside, so it is not too cold in the attic.

   As time went by, Lu Li, who was leaning against the low cabinet, gradually fell asleep. And Celica Dallaire, who was supposed to be asleep, sat up slowly.

   She stared at Lu Li's sleeping face, her heartbeat became unstoppably clear again, stretched out her palm, and gently stroked the face that made her long for.

  The aura of the resentful spirits that enveloped the attic was divided and entangled around Celica Dallaire.

   reluctantly retracted her palm, and under the oil lamp she drew a long and narrow shadow away from her body.

   "I never thought you would eat your own vinegar." Celica Dallaire recovered her body and whispered to Anna.

   "It was your body that touched him." Anna said coldly.

The    projection was still lingering beside Celica Dallaire, if she did anything Ana would instantly possess her.

   "But you're in control." Celica Dallaire looked at Lu Li. "Your vision is indeed very good... Justice, kindness, and will lend a helping hand to survivors who have never met before. It's hard to imagine that this kind of character still exists in the apocalypse..."

   She used to disbelieve the stories Anna told until she became one of them.

   Feeling the coldness around, Celica Dallaire smiled: "Well, I won't talk about him anymore."

  Anna nodded lightly, her eyes suddenly falling towards the nailed window.

   In the gap between the planks, a scarlet eye peeped out into the attic.

   The next moment, the eyeballs in the gap between the wooden boards disappeared, and there was a faint sound of being torn apart from the outside.

  Ana dissipated the invisible hand and looked back at Celica Dallaire.

Celica Dallaire guessed what was going on outside, and envied Anna's power: "According to the story, you will go to Star Town tomorrow to get the third letter, and finally go to the house of Aunt Mary in Shymfast. Get the last letter."

   "When the time comes, as promised, I will let you go."

"thanks."

   Celica Dallaire licked the wound, which was painful, but couldn't hide her hope.

   Celica Dallaire, who was temporarily out of control, lay back on the floor again. She had been preparing for today for several days, and was controlled by Anna for a long time, and needed to rest.

  Ana's breath sheltered the two in the attic.

  Although there are still strange noises downstairs or in the street, they are not near the attic.

   Celica Dallaire had no doubts about the dangers in the misty gloom. Without Anna, she would be instantly eaten by the influx of weirdness.

   Maybe that Mr. Lu Li is too.

  Noble virtue is like a beacon in the dark that guides lost ships, but it is fragile and worthless.

  …

   The next morning, Lu Li woke up in the cool air.

  Anna removed the wooden board from the window. The mist had just left, and the mist shrouded the deserted streets.

   Celica Dallaire opened her eyes shortly after. She should have woken up long ago, and quickly got up from the floor, without even stretching her waist.

   Waiting for the outside to gradually light up, they left the attic and headed to Star Town.

   The current Star Town is the same as most of the villages and towns in the Allen Peninsula. Almost all the residents have withdrawn into Shymfast, and there are messes that have been looted.

   However, because it is not far from Shymfast, occasionally passers-by pass by, and some residents who are unwilling to leave their homes live here.

   The latter is easily recognizable. The doors and windows were boarded up, and the second-floor houses with thick curtains usually had residents hiding.

   Wandering around Xingchen Town for half a circle, Anna was the first to discover Aunt Mary's mark.

   is still the second floor of the hotel, with dusty letters on the windowsill.

  【It's still there, just not the way it used to be. 】

  【But I still miss it...】

  【There are not many supplies left, and after a circle, I didn't gain anything except my mood. 】

  【I think maybe I should go back to Shymfast and stay there. Even if a disaster occurs, it will be buried with the city. 】

  【Anna, Lu Li, I hope you will not read this letter. If you see it, I apologize to you for running after my mark several times. 】

   "Shimfast... Has Aunt Mary gone back?"

  Anna lowered her eyes and said.

   Followed all the way, and finally pointed to Shymfast.

   Coincidentally, Celica Dallaire's destination was also there.

  …

  Shimfast.

  Outside the art capital, the tree trunks are stripped to make wooden walls, stretching to the end of the line of sight.

   Although humble, this is the quickest way to build a wall that can surround a city.

  Ana descended when approaching Shymfast, restraining all her breath. Except for the suspicious black robe, no one would have thought that she was a Wraith.

   But something happened before she got too far: Celica Dallaire fell.

   Her jaw was oozing blood again, her hands were scratched by the rough stones on the road, and to make matters worse, her legs were injured.

  Anna said it was a bit serious, Celica Dallaire couldn't walk independently and needed someone to carry her.
