Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 728 Nineteen. New Calamity and Mole

  Whoa——

  Lu Li stepped out of the wooden bucket with dripping hot water, picked up a dry towel to wipe his body, and put on the trousers from twenty-four years ago.

   It was almost at the end of its life, and the trousers were badly worn by the experience underground.

   "Is there a dagger?" Lu Li said.

   Katarina took off the short knife from her waist and threw it to Lu Li.

   Pulled out the short knife, the blade in the dirty leather scabbard was unexpectedly sharp and clean. Simply rinsing the blade with hot water in a bucket, Lu Li picked it up and carefully shaved off his beard.

   Shaved off the stubble, Lu Li washed the short knife and retracted the scabbard, and returned it to Katerina.

   Katarina whistled frivolously, looking at Lu Li's angular body and face, as well as those attractive abyss-like eyes: "What should I do when you are in a coma."

   Lu Li ignored him.

Katerina sat in the single bed, leaning against the thin wall to continue admiring, suddenly realized something and stood up: "No, you can't do this... Even the nobles don't look so clean, and it was me who was found to be unlucky... have you."

   Katarina briefly left the room and returned with a handful of fetid silt in her hands.

   "Apply it to your face."

   The stinky and faint smell of alcohol made Lu Li think about where Katarina dug it up.

   "Too deliberate." Lu Li refused: "Find me a black robe."

  Katerina thought for a while: "You are right."

  No one is an idiot, it's easy to tell if it's smeared on purpose or dirty, especially at the Wanderer's Tavern.

  Katarina opened the window and threw out the mud, and the screams from the street below were blocked from the closed window.

   Going back to the bucket to wash her hands, Katerina, who just wanted to rinse the sludge, touched the hot water, and suddenly changed her mind, and took off the leather armor from her wet palms.

  Lu Li looked away and looked at the sky again.

   There was a sound of washing up behind her, and Katarina, who had taken off her last clothes, stepped into the wooden bucket and murmured comfortably.

   "I almost forgot when was the last time I took a hot shower..."

  Lu Li quietly looked at the magma ring of fire. It existed in the southern sky. No matter its direction or outline, it seemed to be consistent with the black ring that once hung high in the sky.

   Is the sky mutation related to the black ring?

   After observing for a few minutes, Lu Li lowered his eyes and fell to the street below where the changes occurred.

  Walking passers-by leaned on both sides of the road and bowed their heads in respect.

   Six believers in black robes with unrecognizable emblems inlaid on their chests carried trusses and wriggled past in two rows.

   "What does the **** of Tangge Town look like?" Lu Li asked without turning his head.

"no one knows."

   Katarina's reply and the sound of water splashing came from behind.

   "The names and appearances of gods are a secret."

   "No statues?"

   "Not in Tangge Town. Someone must have seen the appearance of the deity, but only the believers know the name." Katerina said.

   "Then what do people call him?"

   "Mango Town God, or Mango." Katarina shrugged her shoulders on the water. "Did you see anything?"

   "Six mango believers walked by carrying wooden frames."

   "The believers are warning that disaster is coming."

  The sound of water in the barrel became noisy, and Katarina no longer enjoyed the hot water unhurriedly.

   "Disaster?"

   "Light thief, in quiet hours, fog tide or something."

   "What are light thieves and fog tides." Luli already knew when it was silent: a terrible disaster that lasted for half a day.

   "You must be familiar with them in the past." Katerina turned back and said, but only saw Lu Li's back with a shimmering edge. "Shadow of Fire and Strange Fog."

   "The Shadow of Stealing Fire has become a disaster?"

   "Well, more than ten years ago." Katarina then told Lu Li about the Shadow of Fire Thief, or the ability of Light Thief.

   Steal the light of heaven.

  When the light thief appears, the sky is no longer bright, and the world will be shrouded in eternal night until he leaves.

   Sometimes hours, sometimes days. The longest was fourteen days seven years ago—the whole world lingered in darkness for two weeks.

   "It's not yet dawn, so it may be a quiet hour or a fog tide."

  Katerina said, before Lu Li asked, the origin of the fog tide.

  The fog tide is the weird fog, but it is more turbulent than the usual weird fog, and it comes every two weeks or a month like a tidal wave.

  Even towns can't resist the fog tide, so when the fog tide comes, the town will also be enveloped in a strange fog.

   "By the way, the silence is not as scary as you were. It only kills the speaker now."

  The time of silence comes, people no longer have to suppress their voices, as long as they don’t speak, they will be fine.

   "Have other disasters changed?" Lu Li asked.

   "Lightless nights and plant disasters? It's still the same." The sound of water suddenly became clear, Katerina behind Lu Li stepped out of the wooden bucket, dried her body, and rustled the sound of putting on her leather armor.

   Katerina didn't change after washing - she didn't wash her face.

  According to Katarina, being properly dirty will make her look like a bad hunter.

   Footsteps came from the corridor and stopped outside the door. Katerina thought it was a mole, but outside the door stood only a four-legged woman wrapped in acrid perfume. Katarina drove her away mercilessly, and waited a few more minutes for the Mole to come.

   Before opening the door, Katarina whispered about her size. Don't discriminate against Mole's size - he'll be angry.

   Mole is a short male who looks like a teenage boy, but is actually a dwarf who cannot grow taller. He was wearing dirty leather armor, and his voice was like a circus actor playing a clown, sharp and comical.

   This image makes Mole naturally hard to guard, which is why he is an intelligence hunter rather than a hunter like Katerina.

  Lu Li kept quiet and watched the mole.

   In addition to his dwarf appearance, his left eye is distorted.

   In addition to the original eyeballs, there are more than a dozen eyeballs ranging from the size of pearls to the size of sand in the left eye socket. They squeezed each other out of shape, and the scalp tingled in the eye sockets.

   Seems to be a coincidence or something, there are many people with deformed eyeballs in Tango Town. Such as Katerina, old Pete the hyena, and the mole in front of him.

   "I want to know where the people in the shelter are now a few years ago." Katerina asked directly.

   "15 shillings."

   Mole's bidding method made Lu Li think of a businessman.

   "It's not worth 15 shillings!" Katerina's face showed anger.

   "Stinger, my intelligence is always worth the money." Mole just replied.

   Katarina's anger at the high price was suppressed by previous collaborations: "If it's really worth fifteen shillings, I'll give it to you."

   "They are in Wiener Freeze Harbor."

   "Wait... Wiener Freeze Harbor? Isn't it in Midnight City!"

  The Mole replied in that funny high-pitched voice: "Midnight City Church and nobles don't pay so much attention to pure-blooded humans. Unlike Wiener's Freezing Harbor, they hope to return to the pre-apocalyptic world one day."
