Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 719 Ten. Abandoned Refuge

   Wooden sign, support frame, mine hole.

  The appearance of human traces means that Lu Li has truly escaped from the unknown underground area.

  Loli can go straight back to the surface along the mine.

   If the mine does not collapse.

   Apparently this mine called Clariant was abandoned for a long time, or this No. 13 mine was abandoned——

  The mine tunnel is full of collapsed supports and road blocks, and no miners dare to work in this environment.

   The only good thing is that the collapse did not block the mine, and there were still gaps for Lu Li to pass through.

  An old kerosene lamp hangs on the wall, which has long since dried up and cannot be used. Lu Li can only illuminate the mine at the cost of burning humanity.

   Shaft 13 is indeed an abandoned mine.

  Lu Li thought when he saw the wooden sign of the No. 12 mine.

   Cave 12, though equally dilapidated, is no longer common with horrific collapses.

  Lu Li extinguished the lighthouse in front of the wooden sign and let the darkness enveloped him. Without the chilling peeps and whispers, the evil spirits still couldn't affect here.

   Underground is safer than above, but more difficult to survive.

   The "older generation" city used to be an environment without flaws. Magma seas provide light, warmth and fuel, and dark rivers provide water and food.

   But all is destroyed when the two collide.

  The No. 12 mine is connected to the No. 11 mine, and a fork road mine without a wooden sign.

   Maybe someone removed the wooden sign, maybe the mine hasn't had time to name it yet.

  The length of the mine is about 600 meters, and it takes ten minutes to walk. During this period, Lu Li must keep burning humanity and keep the lighthouse bright, otherwise it will be difficult to observe the changes on the edge of the mine.

   For example, a fork in the road.

  The sound of dull footsteps echoed in the dark and silent mine.

  Without shoes, the gravel-covered ground made the soles of my feet sore and made it difficult to pick up speed.

   The long and narrow underground mine tunnel with no end in sight is disturbing, but for Lu Li, it is more comfortable than the depths of the ground.

   The end of the No. 11 mine is not the No. 10 mine, but the No. 9 mine. The No. 10 mine is a mine that extends to the other direction.

   This means that Lu Li does not have to go from No. 13 to No. 1, and the ground is closer than expected.

   But in mine 8, Lu Li was blocked by a "wall".

  The flat black stone completely blocks the mine, and the obsidian-like dark surface of the rock is familiar to Lu Li.

   is a deep sea stone.

   The thickness of the walls is more than one meter. Lu Li knew that there were only two places where deep-sea stones were used extravagantly.

  Deep-sea rocky mountains, and shelters. The ghost prison had been counted, but it had been demolished and became Lu Li's property.

  The deep sea rock mountain is located in the deep sea, the refuge is underground, and the mine is also underground——

  Lu Li re-examined the stone wall and found an inconspicuous gap that vaguely formed the outline of the door.

   His shoulder rested on the stone gate, trying to push the deep sea stone.

  The bottom of the stone gate is assisted by rollers, rolling, and the stone gate weighing thousands of pounds slowly sinks into the wall, revealing a dark gap.

   Carrying the lighthouse, Lu Li walked sideways into the space enclosed by the deep sea stone wall.

  The ground under the feet is covered with thick deep-sea stones, and so are the walls—this underground space is surrounded by deep-sea stones as a rectangular box.

The top of    dozens of meters high is the luminous fluorite that Lu Li had seen. Slightly different, they are not inlaid at the top, but are installed in groups in lampshades, hanging like chandeliers under the dome of deep-sea stone tiles.

   But they are too far away for the light to radiate to the ground.

  The ground faintly revealed a silent outline covered with a black veil, like a moonless night.

  In the corner of the space, the house cluster is conspicuous and abrupt.

  This is a shelter.

   Lu Li tilted his head to look around Shimen. The bracket that should have been used as a latch to block the sliding stone door was thrown aside and no one cared about it.

   This sanctuary appears to be unfortified, or...abandoned.

   There was no light in the house complex, and the entire refuge was silent.

   Lu Li, who was close to the building complex, confirmed this. The stone brick road paved on the deep-sea stones is clean and tidy, and there is no one in the house.

  Squeak-

  Lu Li pushed open a wooden door on the side of the road that had been covered in dust for some time. There was no dust in the shelter, and it was difficult to tell how long it had been abandoned.

   The lighthouse illuminates the hut, and sparse dust floats on the edge of the light.

   Dining table by the window, bookshelf wardrobe by the wall, bed and bedside table in the corner.

  Lu Li opened the closet, which was empty.

  Why did the residents of the shelter leave here?

  Looking around. Everything is kept in order here, there is no clutter of sudden departure, and even the sheets of the beds are pulled neatly - the shelter residents have time to make their beds when they leave.

  Where did the shelter residents go?

  Lu Li showed patience at this time, and searched the wooden houses one by one.

  Although some rooms are messy, with bedding piled up or chairs lying aside, they are more like the sloppy owners of the house than most of them are orderly.

  In a certain room, Lu Li found a gray linen coat in the closet and put it on his body. In another room diagonally opposite, Lu Li found a pair of shoes of the right size under the bed.

   From a few more houses, Lu Li found clothes, but they were all women's or ill-fitting and unwashed, and were abandoned by Lu Li.

   Carrying the lighthouse to search for clues, Lu Li was also thinking about what he saw after waking up.

  Friday between fantasy and reality, an epic underworld adventure, located in the sanctuary of the mine.

  Thinking of Friday, Lu Li is still not sure if she exists, he can only hope that it is not the "door" to find his own.

  The underground world experiences coincidental séance rope rituals, but in the underground where evil spirits are hard to influence, can the remaining power of the séance rope do this?

   Was Nasram Araya, who excavated the temple, a refugee resident?

   It seems that nothing can be traced back to the real answer.

   Only the sanctuary truly exists underfoot.

  Whoa——

   Pulled open the desk drawer, a pen and notebook swayed with the drawer.

   Thinking that Lu Li, who had found the clue, took out the notebook and opened it. The writing on it was crooked, it was just a diary written by a child.

   turned a few pages and found nothing, so Lu Li temporarily put it in his pocket, no longer wasting his humanity, turned around and walked towards the exit of the shelter on the other side.

   The door to the sanctuary was open, dust and cluttered footprints scattered around the edges.

   At this time, the sound of approaching sounds and light spots from far to near could be heard faintly in the depths of the mine.

"Help!"

   A woman's cry for help sounded in the shaking light spot, and she found Lu Li behind the door.

   The lighthouse shone brightly, illuminating the running figure and the strange noise behind her.

   Lu Li immediately pushed the sliding stone door and pieced together the gap.

"don't want--"

   The woman exclaimed, only to find a gap left in the Shimen, and ran over to get into the shelter close to the gap.

   Lu Li then pushed Shimen.

  The woman who was still fleeing turned her head and found Lu Li pushing the door, and hurriedly shouted: "The door can't stop those monsters, run!"

The voice fell, and an illusory, huge cockroach-like phantom figure passed through the deep-sea stone, solidified its body in front of Lu Li, raised a two-meter-long sharp sickle and pierced Lu Li's chest, and penetrated Lu Li as easily as through paper. The blood sickle tip pierced from behind—

   "Damn!"

   The woman scolded lowly, and saw the mango ghost left the man and chased after her, fleeing to the houses in the distance.
