Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 782 Seventy-three. Prisci Team

  In the sea called the Badlands, island-like towns are scattered all over the place.

  The raging storms that never stop make this sea area full of danger. Only a convoy like a sea ship can cross the dangerous sea area and reach the island.

   Most of them have fixed routes, sailing along confirmed safe routes, passing through islands full of cargo and passengers, so that they do not become isolated islands.

  Plissey Team is one of them.

   Unlike other teams that usually have more than two routes, the Prissy team only has one route: Midnight City to Cape Storm, only passing through a few villages and towns.

  Professor Wayne's recommendation made sense, the Prissy Convoy was the fastest route to Cape Storm and was safe.

   The same as the raided convoy they used to ride, the Prissy convoy also had a caravan that released a strange atmosphere. The difference was that the attacked convoy only had caravans, and they were powerless to resist the weirdness of seeing through the camouflage and attacking.

   Prisci’s convoy with fighters can.

  …

   stretched for nearly a mile, and a long convoy of hundreds of carriages drove on the edge of the dark field.

   "You smell so good, Miss Caterina." Lying in the carriage, Prius couldn't help saying.

   Katrina's perfume smell was a torment to Prius' sensitive nose, which was always runny.

   "I washed the leather armor." Katerina gently rubbed the old and splintered leather armor: "I didn't know it was so dirty before I washed it."

   Aside from the overspray of perfume, Katerina looks much cleaner now, not like before, covered with a layer of dust.

   "Are you also trying to be the companion of the hero in the legend?" asked Purseus.

   "Legends...what?"

   After explaining Katerina, she understood what Pusius said, and shook her head lightly: "Maybe... I just don't know what to do. When I think of Lu Li, I follow him impulsively."

   Katarina lied, and the washed-white leather armor showed that she didn't come back on impulse.

  With the distance from Midnight City, the eldest sister no longer hides her figure, climbs up on Lu Li's shoulders and burrows into the hood, like shrinking in a recliner.

  Luri looked out at the black earth outside the car window. The stretch of the earth is almost endless, if the visibility is better, you will be able to see the World Ridge Mountains in the distance.

The first stop of the   Plissey team was Shelter Village, a half-day journey from Midnight City - a village without gods.

   Compared with the village, it should be called the branch line - the main body of the sheltered village is the branch line of the old underground sewer.

  On the ground there is only an open space surrounded by low walls, and the underground passage leading to the old sewers in the middle of the open space.

   So sheltered villages do not need to be guarded by gods, and such villages only exist around Midnight City.

The   Plissey convoy would park here for thirty minutes, selling and buying supplies, as well as taking in new passengers.

  Prius couldn't wait to run into the distant wilderness to excrete, and Lu Li and Katerina followed him out of the dull carriage.

   "Mr. Lu Li, we are about to leave the dark field!"

  Purse, who ran back, lowered his voice excitedly: "I saw the loess below when I was digging the pit."

The name   Dark Field comes from the black mud like the earth, and outside the field, the soil returns to its normal color.

   This also makes the dark field more depressing and dull than other places, and it seems that even the wind is silent.

   "Belu? Belu... you are here."

   An old voice suddenly sounded behind him, and a thin palm pulled Lu Li's black robe.

   Lu Li tilted his head and looked at the elderly woman who had recognized the wrong person. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth.

   "I'm not Beiru." Lu Li said.

  The elderly woman released her palm, realizing that she had mistaken the person: "Sorry, I'm looking for my niece..."

  The elderly woman on crutches turned awkwardly to leave.

   "Does she have any characteristics?" Lu Li suddenly asked.

   "Belu she can't speak..." The elderly woman briefly described the image of a girl with braids.

  They are residents of Sheltered Village and bought tickets to Storm Cape.

   "Belu said to buy water, but she hasn't come back after I waited for a long time..." the elderly woman said worriedly.

   "We'll tell you when we see her." Lu Li said.

"thank you all……"

  Lu Li stumbled away as the elderly woman staggered away as they watched, continuing to search for her niece between the convoys.

   "The girl named Beilu won't leave her elders to go too far." Pusius raised his head and asked Lu Li, "Mr. Lu Li, are we going to help you find it?"

"Um."

   There are still ten minutes before the team starts again.

   "Wait." Katerina stopped them. "Aren't you worried that this is a conspiracy? Don't forget what happened in Midnight City."

   "We won't leave the convoy." Lu Li said.

   Leaving the carriage, they walked towards the center of the convoy near the wall of the sheltered village.

   As we approached the wall, a loud noise could be heard faintly.

   "I just got out of the convoy... Please, at least let me put the water bottle in." A woman begged.

   "Sorry, you can't go in without a ticket."

  Plissey's team stopped her outside.

   "Are you Beiru?"

   A calm voice sounded, and the begging woman was stunned for a moment, before subconsciously replying: "I am! I am Beiru."

   The woman looked at Lu Li in a cape and Katarina in a hunter guise, she didn't remember where she saw them: "...you know me?"

   "An old man asked us to find her niece." Lu Li replied.

   "It's me!" The woman pointed to herself and handed the heavy water bottle to Lu Li with a sigh of relief: "Help me give the water bottle to Aunt Carolina!"

  Lu Li's black eyes fell on the water bottle that the woman grabbed: "Aren't you going in with us?"

  The woman showed a moment of panic: "...I don't have a ticket."

  Lu Li calmly looked at the woman who claimed to be Beiru.

   The quiet black eyes like a pool made her unable to look at each other, and she lowered her head to tell the truth: "Actually, I am not Beiru..."

   Katarina pressed her eye socket with her palm, her other eye fixed on the woman.

   "It was a girl named Beiru who asked me to do this..."

   A story that looks complicated is not complicated. The reason is that Carolina and her niece Bellu, who are dependent on each other, want to go to the land of dreams, the frozen port of Wiener.

   But they didn't have that much money, so Beiru thought of a good idea - to sell himself and use the money to buy a ticket for Aunt Carolina, a boat ticket.

   For the rest of the money she hired a woman to pretend to be herself today until Aunt Carolina was put into the convoy.

  Aunt Carolina cannot stay awake most of the day because of the pollution. Coupled with the eye disease, she couldn't tell that the niece beside her had changed.

   After listening to the story silently, when Lu Li asked the woman where to find Beiru, the woman said it was too late.

  The real Beru is probably dead somewhere in the wilderness.
