Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 760 Fifty-one. Lu Li

   This is the second time the word alchemy appears.

   Lu Li asked again, hoping that the identity of the answerer this time would allow him to get the answer.

   "What is alchemy?"

   "Don't you know?" The surprise of Professor Nuno Alexandrovich, who never showed up, came from the carriage.

  Katerina suddenly said at this moment: "We are from Tango Town, it is a small town, we have never heard of many things-"

   She doesn't want to reveal her identity now.

   "It's really far from Midnight City, but don't underestimate yourself. Many people in Tangge Town know about it."

   "Why?" It was Katerina's turn curiously.

   Katarina has been living in Tango Town. It was like home to her.

"Let me think about it..." Professor Nuno Alexandrovich pondered for a moment and then replied: "The rules of Tango Town do not allow you to hurt yourself, right? Some of our old fellows had a dialectical discussion about self-harm in order to save themselves. The people who are not counted as harming themselves in the rules of Tangge Town."

   Katarina looked at Lu Li in surprise. He had done this before, after knowing the rules of Ghost Town.

   "What's the result?" Lu Li asked.

   "The gods in Tangge Town treat each other equally." The answer came from the carriage. "He only cares about hurting himself, no matter what the reason."

  Clinens University is located in Midnight City. There are more prosperous and more people.

   The window of the street shop almost looked into Katarina's eyes. She stared at them greedily and became more determined to stay, and asked in a voice only Lu Li could hear: "Is it the same as it was then?"

   "Mostly."

  Lu Li gave a short answer and continued to observe everything here.

   It is rare to see chubby passers-by on the streets, or bright and delicate clothes other than linen. People are mostly thin due to lack of nutrition and food.

  Many poor people in ragged clothes huddled in alleys or roadsides. They dare not set foot in the wilderness, and can only survive in the city sheltered by the gods.

   These passersby seem to have age gaps-many passers-by are teenagers or middle-aged people, and they rarely see adults.

  Lu Li knew the reason.

   Counting time, the third plague was still the Hour of Silence, when it ravaged and killed many children under the age of five.

  Everything you see at the right time.

   "When did the time of silence become the time of silence?" Lu Li asked.

   "A long time ago...in the last days of the old days."

   "Twenty-four years ago?"

   "Let me think... Yes, I was the same age as you at that time." The old man's words brought memories.

  The time is still right.

   "Do you know the exact time?" Lu Li continued to ask.

   "The specific time... I have to think about it." This time the old man thought for a long time, until the carriage pulled into another street, and apologetic words came from the carriage: "Sorry, it's been too long, I forgot..."

  Lu Li asked in a different way: "A month after the time approached the silent hour, did it become the silent hour at that time?"

   "I have an impression... Yes, it was then." Professor Nuno Alexandrovich's tone became sharp.

"In that month, human beings tried everything possible, and tried their best to stop it. Fortunately, it didn't last too long. It only...killed a few million children and it became longer, but it didn't last long. Another terrifying moment of silence."

   That shot didn't kill the Third Calamity, but it did affect it in the end.

   "Young man, why do you ask this?" Professor Nuno Alexandrovich asked inexplicably.

   Katerina was a little nervous, worried that Lu Li would reveal his identity now.

   "In a notebook." Lu Li just said.

  The old man replied: "I'll give you a piece of advice, don't flip through notes of unknown origin."

   Creep horses turn into a street, and a sprawling manor stands at the end of the road.

   There is Clinens University.

  This university is more desolate than expected, and there are hardly any people walking around in the manor.

   Creep horses stopped in front of the manor, the guard opened the iron gate, and the creep horses stepped inside.

  Professor Nuno Alexandrovich left the carriage, paused slightly on Lu Li's mucus-dried black hair, and led them to his office.

   Sitting on the sofa, the old man with gauze wrapped around his right hand looked at Lu Li and Katerina: "Are you willing to tell me about purebred humans now?"

   Katerina was still hesitating, but Lu Li had already replied, "It's me."

  The helpless Katerina had to add: "And he's still from the old days."

   "Old days? You mean he was born then?"

   "No...he was that old at the time, still an exorcist, trapped in the ground for twenty-four years."

  The old man observed Lu Li: "But why haven't you changed?"

   "The time underground didn't pass on me." Lu Li replied.

   "I think about how to convince myself of what you said." The old man fell into deep thought, saw Lu Li's oil painting on the observation wall, and said to him, "It's a painting of the Great Migration of the Rotary City..."

  Professor Nuno Alexandrovich looked at the oil painting and recalled the scene of migrating from Rotary City: "The cause is also an exorcist, an exorcist named... Lu Li. Do you know his songs?"

Before getting an answer   , the old man said softly.

"At the foot of the back of the world, walks an exorcist with black hair and black eyes. The thorns blocking the road lie ahead, melting into his brilliance. Cobwebs float down from the hazy sky. The monster watched greedily, and his companions were buried in the ice and silence. The young demon slayer stopped because of frustration, but after a brief period of confusion and reflection, after seeing the pain people endured, he decided to help people who were tormented by pain;"

"At the foot of the world's back, the black-haired and black-eyed exorcist helps desperate people, even if he is not human, he will not be stingy with his pity, people crowd the exorcist to help him find lost companions, his indifference Ripples in the heart, the sorrow of the old comrade who turned into bones, the people got his help, cheered around him, people sang the name of the exorcist, spread it in the land of no hope, and everything came to an abrupt end. separate;"

"At the foot of the back of the world, the black-haired and black-eyed exorcist walks alone. The cruel facts come to him. He is willing to end everything with his own hands. The devil tells his final answer: This shot is called good night."

"you……"

  The old man suddenly lost his voice and looked at Lu Li absently.

   What he saw when he was migrating, the black-haired and black-eyed exorcist who was standing beside the city lord gradually overlapped with the man in front of him——

   Katarina suddenly held her breath, an unprecedented emotion flooded her heart, making her nose sour and her eyes warm.

"Know."

  Lu Li retracted his gaze from the oil painting, his calm black eyes that seemed to never change at any time fell on the old man.

"that's me."
