Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 870 One hundred and sixty-one. Bell, Belfast, full of troubles and opportunities

   Even the cold wind is hard to blow away the fog that covers the earth.

   The sloping snow line breaks into the dim light, and blends into the darkness with the footprints in the snow.

  There are some villages and farms around the polluted Shymfast. Without more detailed clues, they can only look down around the city one by one.

   The detailed map of Shymfast was taken by the merchant Anthony, and the nearest place to them was Mackenzie Farm, three miles away.

   It’s not very far, but even standing still in fog tides and eternal nights can cause unpredictable trouble.

The    worm comes in handy again, although it will expand the worm's territory.

   Worms cannot communicate, have no intelligence, and can only understand simple instructions. The eldest sister communicated, and the worms that expelled them began to move, and the ground trembled to form a passage leading to McCann's Farm.

  This worm is 800 meters long, and it takes them twice to get to McCann's Farm.

   Big sister made Lu Li, who had eaten the yellow plum grass, put on mucus with a look of disgust, and got into the hood.

   When Merchant Anthony's slime covered the backpack, they stepped into the warm and soft insect tunnel, wrapped in the ground and quickly dived.

  …

   Mackenzie Farm.

   was a long time ago with the deprecated prefix.

After the    plant disaster, the farmhouse, which was no longer useless, was abandoned, leaving only farmers who were unwilling to leave their homes.

Another document brought back by    businessman Anthony and compiled by the City Hall think tank stated the size of the farm. In addition to the farmhouse and basement in the center, there are also barns and woodsheds.

   A sticky, wet crowd appeared outside McCann's Farm.

When    wiped her body, Ophelia felt the obscurity of the farm.

   "I'll go first...you...stay."

   Ophelia intends to find her way.

"Together."

   Lu Li put on a new cape.

   They walked into the darkness ahead, where the worms would wait.

   The cold wind froze his face and at the same time brought a stench like **** sludge.

   Along with the stench, trivial pig humming.

   It didn't take long for the silhouette of a pig to emerge from behind the fence as it approached McCann's Farm in the dark fog.

   They lay in the semi-solid mud, babbling lazily, paying no attention to uninvited guests outside the enclosure.

   "Not...here."

  Occupying this place is another group of weirdos.

   Lu Li didn't respond, his black eyes stared at the darkness inside the fence.

   A pair of white toes standing in the mud appeared on the bright edge. They looked so spotless, but the darkness above the ankles only revealed a deep silhouette.

  Anna stood in the darkness and waved her hand gently.

   "Next...where?"

Ophelia who asked    saw Lu Li stretch out his hand to push open the fence gate and walk into the farm.

   She and the merchant followed, approaching the outline of the barn deep in the snowline.

  Anna's vision disappeared in front of the barn door, and a stench stronger than silt emanated from the barn.

  The sound of wind and snow was blocked as he stepped into the barn. In the depths of the barn, a fat, huge, foul-smelling silhouette leaned against it, and the belly lit by the oil lamp rose and fell with its breathing.

   "Gollum..."

   The outline let out a muffled grunt.

   "I get it! It asked why we bothered it!"

   "We're looking for the Church of Shadows, a group of heretics." Lu Li looked up at the giant silhouette and said calmly.

   "It said it would tell us, but let us be food, or leave food of equal weight..."

"Can."

   The outline continued to make a vague grunt, which was translated by the eldest sister: "To the back..."

  Landli unfold the map and look in the direction behind the outline.

   There is an area marked as a stone forest more than ten miles away.

  Gollum——

   The outline made a dissatisfied muffled sound, as if Lu Li urged him to hand over the food as soon as possible.

  Lu Li asked the merchant to bring 20 boxes of canned food.

  These expired cans that have been stored in Wanghai Cliff for 24 years have their place.

   The outline that did not reveal the full picture expressed satisfaction, indicating that the transaction was completed, and Lu Li could walk anywhere in its territory.

   Equivalent transaction, a rare quality for weirdness, just like the existence that Lu Li once met by the campfire that gave him weird currency.

   Farewell to the hog lords, they headed back outside the enclosure to let the worms go around McCann's Farm and dig into the Stone Forest.

   There is a stone forest on the outskirts of Shymfast, which was once more famous than the capital of art, or the origin of the capital of art.

Archduke Valentine, who was once exiled to the Ellen Peninsula due to the coup d'état, took hundreds of his sculptures by famous artists and established an underground manor called Stone Forest, which indirectly raised the awareness of the people of Shymfast for art. Appreciation ability, and finally, driven by the MacDonald family for commercial purposes, made Simfast the crown of art capital.

   Now those statues should have been moved, and the stone forest is not worthy of its name.

   Will Anna be there?

  Lu Li suddenly thought of Anna's family. Her grandfather had been Archduke Valentine's butler and mentioned the statue that Archduke Valentine gave to their family...

   The sound of viscous expansion sounded, and the closed worm tunnel opened.

   They can go.

   Put away the map and sundries, they ate the yellow plum grass again and jumped into the insect path.

  The distance of more than ten miles made them have to return to the ground frequently like fish that surfaced in the rain.

   As the afternoon approached, they approached the periphery of the stone forest with the help of worms, and the frozen soil under the snow was also replaced by the uneven bluestone road.

   "What...also...feel...not. But...it seems...there is something...here." Ophelia whispered.

  Lu Li stared at Anna who was beckoning to him from the edge of darkness, picked up the oil lamp, and walked along the snow-covered bluestone road.

   At the end of the bluestone road, a staircase leading to the underground is revealed.

   There is also an underground edge, a line of shallow footprints that are about to be covered by fresh snow.

  …

  The old-fashioned oil lamp hanging on the wall slowly lights up.

   The slender and elegant shadow of the girl emerged more clearly.

   "There are only ten minutes left for the oil lamp."

   She turned a half circle, her white dress fluttering.

   Jon shivered as he followed, his face and fists tucked into his sleeves were flushed with cold, and the toes in his shoes curled up.

   "I...don't know where to go...and you saved me."

   shivering Jon said intermittently.

   He did want to give up several times. The too-real cold even made him suspect that he had never died, until he touched his heart as frozen as stone from the hollow of his chest.

   And whenever he couldn't hold on to slow down, the girl's shadow would stop, as if waiting for him to catch up.

   "You can stay here."

"here……"

   Jon, who shrank his neck, looked around the surroundings illuminated by the oil lamps. The passage looked like a mural depicting ruins he had ever seen.

   "Where is this—"

"he came……"

   At this moment, the girl's shadow seemed to sense something, and the elegant silhouette turned to the entrance of the passage and whispered.

   "Aren't you going to continue hiding in the ground..."
