Bizarre Detective Agency

Chapter 974: Forty-one. The Lonely Man

   Chapter 974 Forty-one. Lonely person

   If the camp is simply divided into capitulation factions and rebel factions, the barren land headed by Midnight City is undoubtedly the capitulation faction, and the Dependent Continent headed by Wiener Unfrozen Harbor is undoubtedly the resistance faction.

   But there are never two extreme seasons, black and white mixed with grey.

  Whether the "capitulation faction" Late Night City" or the "rebel faction" Wiener Freezing Harbor, they all belong to the human camp in fact, just one dark gray, one light gray, one radical, one moderate. One pure and one inclusive.

  Vita's warning reveals the hard truth: the weirdness is irresistible.

  Evil spirits, evil spirits, evil spirits, evil spirits, evil spirits, servants of old gods, strange sects, inner world layer, weirdness in fog, tribe lair, weird town, deep space shadow...

  The sores spread all over their outlines.

  Whether resisting or surrendering, human beings will eventually become part of the world and become...weird.

   is like what Lu Li has seen in the outer city.

   is like the ancestor of Weta.

  Whether Weta's story is true or a lie, the future spoken is true.

   "I have another view of 'existence'." It's just that Lu Li is not pessimistic, no matter the past or the future: "For example, your race may be lost, but it is not dead."

"What's the meaning?"

  Vita could not have imagined and could not understand what Lu Li said.

   "Lions are not born with minions, our weapons are the civilization and wisdom accumulated with history. You still remember history, the civilization of your ethnic group is still flowing in your body, waiting for the moment of reconstruction."

  Vita's dark eyes froze. I don't know whether it was because of Lu Li's story or the rumored exorcist who treated people indifferently.

   "A friend of mine once told me a story."

   "A man is lost in another world. He builds house by house, digs canals and farmland, and recreates books and creations. He is alone, and he is rebuilding the civilization of the people."

   "You still remember the history of the ethnic group, which means that your ethnic group has not died out, even if you are the last one."

  Old Ages, Weird Ages, Dark Ages - this civilized designation signifies that humanity has never abandoned history.

   Humans may be weirdly assimilated after a long time. No matter what they become, they are still human as long as history and civilization exist.

   The boat that keeps replacing the planks is still the same boat.

  Lu Li left Weta, who was in deep thought, and walked out of the museum to the outer city.

   through the bustling streets. It was still a moment of silence, and the Midnight Lady shielded people from intrusion.

  Because his stay at Weta was shorter than expected, Lu Li was four or five hours away from the evening when he returned to the camp. With nothing to do, he watched the squads wearing tree badges entering and leaving the camp.

   In the first hour, fourteen teams left the camp and eight returned, and in the second hour, three left and ten returned. In the third hour, Lu Li stopped the calculation of entering and leaving the team.

   The number of teams entering and leaving the camp varies greatly depending on the time of day, and it can only be vague that at least 100 teams leave the camp every day.

  This means that there are a hundred weird things happening every day in the outer city——

  The terrifying frequency, but evenly spread into a late-night city with a population of nearly one million, it seems insignificant.

   Lu Li's gaze departed from the dazzling ball of light that illuminated the city in the middle of the night from the spires of the towers in the core area, and landed on Kiruat and the others who appeared in the distant streets.

   Finding Lu Li waiting, they speeded up and rushed back to the camp.

   "Wait for a long time?"

"Um."

   "Sorry, Naxi's parents are too warm... This is for you." Kiruat smiled embarrassedly, and took out the warm food wrapped in kraft paper.

   "A late-night city specialty that tastes like jicama but is as sweet as pastry."

  Lu Li took the food, retrieved the strange notes stored in the camp, and stepped onto the lift.

   The sphere of light from the towers that illuminated the night city was slightly darker than when they first arrived. The slowly ascending elevator carried the Holy Light team out of the late night city.

   "We solved the root cause in this mission, and the reward should give 1 credit and 1 team point." Kiruat held up the source note wrapped in the alchemy blanket. "In addition to routines and rewards, we have a windfall... this notebook itself. Are we going to study the power of the note or destroy it?"

   As the students of Giant Tree Academy, they obviously won't be as secretive about weirdness as commoners. Pollutants are like beasts, they can hurt themselves...but they can also hurt others.

   Naxi safely chose to destroy, Lu Li and Yeager chose to study, and Kiruaite, who had the deciding vote, shook his head like Naxi: "It seems that this time the Light Team chose to take risks."

   Returning to the trunk floor, Kiruat and Lu Li separated in front of the rest area, went to the task hall to submit the task assignment reward, and Lu Li and the others returned to the rest room to arrange.

  Protection Potion, Visible Potion, and Shout Potion that can spread the sound over a hundred meters in diameter.

   It is not uncommon for the team to bring back contaminants privately for research, causing accidents to occur in the trunk layer. Although there are usually no serious consequences or disasters due to the timely arrival of the gatekeeper, in order to prevent accidents, the credit team points are deducted, and protection is essential.

   After more than ten minutes, Kiruaite brought back the rewards for this mission: 1 credit for basic, 1 team credit, 1 extra credit, and 1 team credit.

   It's just that the credits awarded by the task are not added to each team member - it is the total number, which is assigned by the captain.

   Kiruaite chose to allocate 1 credit to Lu Li, and she shared the remaining 1 credit with Jaeger and Naxi.

  Lu Li needs more credits than them. If not a single team member can't get more than 50% of the total credits, Kiruaite will give Lu Li more credits or even all of them.

   Jaeger and Naxi have no objection. They have two months left to advance, and there is less than a 20-credit gap left from the 100-credit requirement, which is enough to meet the conditions.

  Although it is only a normal promotion.

   Kiruat put the alchemy blanket that wrapped the notes to isolate the pollution on the round table, and asked everyone to prepare to take the protective medicine.

  At the same time, the merchant Anthony suddenly appeared, scaring Naxi, who almost spilled the precious medicine, and brought a letter that smelled of perfume.

   This familiar aroma permeated Professor Chris's alchemy office.

  【Dear Exorcist】

  【What did you tell Vita? It left, saying that it wanted to save its race, and also asked me to send its treasures to you]

  【——The tall and beautiful Chris】

  The owner of the letter is no accident. Lu Li asked his teammates to wait for a while, and wrote back to her: Tell Vita that hope still exists.

  Professor Chris' reply came quickly, and he wrote it below Lu Li's reply to save trouble: [This really seems like something you would do, but I didn't expect that even Vita would be infected. Remember to come over when you have time, there are some interesting little things in these collections]

   Lu Li didn't reply any more and went back to the round table.

"let's start."
