Bizarre Detective Agency - Chapter 1340
“The last exorcist walked on the earth. He rescued the people who were trapped in Paradise Valley, condensed the firewood of civilization in the barren land, destroyed the conspiracy of the earth dwellers, solved the Demon Slayer Association, and— ”
“this is not OK.”
In the Garden of the Courtyard, the Swamp Mother interrupted the poet standing in front of the flowerbed to continue chanting: “It sounds like Lu Li brings destruction rather than hope.”
“Indeed, please let me think again…”
The part-time poet scholar considered the word “hope”, so he made use of the sea of flowers that rippled in the breeze in his eyes:
“Heroic exorcist, he came out of the night.”
“The sun shines on him;”
“The morning dew wet the corners of his clothes;”
“The birds sing for his coming;”
“Yun’er walks with him;”
“The roadside wildflowers swayed and danced for him.”
“He smiled softly, with a light behind him—”
This time, the Swamp Mother listened for a while, and gave the poet a chance to finish the long poem before commenting: “Lu Li can’t laugh, and he is a soul.”
“It was changed to ‘The sun shines on his soul; he watched tenderly’ What do you think?” The poet felt that the change was very good.
“It’s much better…but it’s still a lot worse than the first exorcist song.” The Swamp Mother whispered softly: “At the foot of the crest of the world, walking an exorcist with black hair and black eyes…”
“It takes time to accumulate long poems written by evil spirits…”
The scholar replied with a wry smile that he did not think that by virtue of his hobbies, he could come up with a long poem comparable to the seance rope in a few days or even hours.
The Swamp Mother decided to temporarily slow down the weaving of songs for Lu Li, and let time brew everything.
The poet left, and the Swamp Mother asked the maid to call Tesla and Chris. The congeners that came with the nobles had many interesting gadgets that exorcists could use.
For example, a dim candle, when lit and picked up, only the holder can see the light, which is suitable for sneaking in the dark; such as a mess, the appearance is a tangled thread, and the nearby existence will want to untie it and put it in the dark Keep distracting until unwrapped; such as a human tooth called the Tooth Fairy, writing a name on it and throwing it into a cabinet will lead to the cabinet around the name.
The Swamp Mother hopes that these can be mass-produced or the corresponding alchemy potions can be developed, and the books brought back from the Exorcist Association are sorted and copied by Tesla.
The condition of most of these books recorded on dark paper is worrying. The missing pages and handwriting are slightly better. In order to save these human heritage, scholars have to put aside their work and copy them in the school building. And there is no dark paper, only ordinary paper can be used to write.
As for the pollution carried by knowledge, it is inevitable, but under the leadership of Lu Li and Ability God, the land of light is not as exclusive and afraid of transformation as the old human civilization.
The banner hanging in the 【House of Weird Residents】 reads: Transform now and start your second life journey.
Exorcists are patrolling Mount Sugard. Although not all exorcists can perform miracles like Lu Li, at least they can do something for the Land of Light.
“Where is my dear exorcist now?” Chris asked before leaving.
“Leaving the Gauss Basin not long ago and should have reached the top of the mountain.” The mother of the swamp was worried like a child who traveled far: “We should let the merchant follow him.”
Chris looked at the north, with the same golden eyes staring into the distance as the Queen of Broken Clouds:
“What is the unknown beyond the known?”
…
A fierce wind raged across the ice and snow, and the snowflakes turned into sloping lines.
A snowstorm from north to south is raging on the back of the Back Crest Mountains of the world.
The Mountains keep the Badlands out of harm’s way, but if this blizzard is broad enough, a cold wave will soon hit Wiener Freeze Harbor.
For Lu Li, neither the blizzard nor the steep permafrost under the snow can stop him.
Unknown and weird, obscure atmosphere, surging pollution… Lu Li thought that they would be the first to encounter. But the first thing I saw in the blizzard was a frozen corpse.
He was leaning against the wind in a hollow in a rock, covered in snow, and was noticed by Lu Li because the light of the oil lamp revealed the outline of a human figure.
A strange wind blew into the sheltered place, blowing away the snow covering the corpse, revealing a frozen blue-purple human corpse wearing a thick down jacket.
Lu Li had never heard of an explorer who climbed over the Back Crest Mountains of the World, but the walking stick next to him and his clothes proved that he was an explorer.
The oil lamp turned into a circle of light, Lu Li squatted beside the corpse, his eyes fell on a note held by his cane.
Forcing it apart will only break the frozen fingers. Lu Li stretched out his hand and took out the note through his swollen black fingers.
The paper with ice crystals glitters in the light:
【Whoever saw the note…I found out…the truth of the world…can’t write it down…going back…following…footprints…traces…at the camp…left…notes! 】
It seems that a certain expedition has crossed the Back Crest Mountains of the world. They succeeded and found something in the unknown, but couldn’t return.
Lu Li rummaged through the body’s mountaineering suit, and found a box of matches, hard-frozen cakes, a group photo lining his chest pocket, a ring hidden by his swollen fingers, and two initials: Z&W engraved on the inner wall.
Lu Li put away the group photo and ring, and said to the corpse quietly leaning against the wind: I will take them back.
There was only a raging blizzard all around.
As Lu Li went away, the darkness gradually engulfed the corpses in the sheltered place.
Loli then searched along the gentle ramp that the expedition might pass. But it is not easy to find the traces of 20 years ago in the mountains where the wind and snow never stopped. It took half a day and a few times of getting lost before Lu Li accidentally discovered an ice crack in the inner world, and in an ice cave, found a fallen Corpse of an explorer with a broken leg.
His clothes were of the same style as the corpse, and he was curled up beside the low-quality crystal cloudy ice wall, with picks, ropes, and leftover matches scattered around.
This explorer’s body has no apparent identity.
Really useful information may be put in the camp that the note says.
Lu Li left the ice cave and explored downwards with the ice layer as a dot, and finally found an open space with slightly gentle terrain.
A shining halo emerged behind Lu Li, invading the frozen ground. In the depths of the sloping snowflakes, the dark silhouettes of several diamond-shaped tents emerged in the distance.
Lu Li summoned the merchant Anthony, dropped the anchor on the outskirts of the camp, handed it the photo and the ring, and let it investigate the explorers who crossed the mountains of the Back Crest in the old days – the time limit was after the invention of the camera.
entered the camp alone to explore, and suddenly, in front of the snow-covered bonfire wreckage, eight blue-black corpses appeared.
The black corpse was frozen naked in the pale snow, kneeling without a trace toward the unknown darkness of the north.
