Daisy let out a cheer in surprise, then thought of someone outside the door and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Anna smiled and waved at her like an idiot.
"Why are you here?"
"The college has arranged for a musical to be performed in Watchtown. I have been rehearsing the show recently. I originally wanted to hide it until the stage show starts and invite you over to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you guys to come over..."
They talked softly with joy, and Lu Li did not interrupt. He squatted next to the unconscious female student, reaching out and touching the skin of her body.
The skin is warm and elastic, with no signs of decay. The chest is rising and falling slightly, and she is breathing. These points are enough to show that this girl is not occupied by O'Connor or the bloody tentacles.
But what were the tentacles he saw, and why did she run?
Lu Li scanned the clothes racks filled with exquisite clothes, and suddenly focused on a clothes rack.
He discovered a slender, illusory bloody tentacle. It penetrated from the ceiling and submerged into a pile of hangers full of clothes.
Suddenly, a streak of blood flashed and shot out from the clothes!
The same scene happened earlier today, and it was impossible for Lu Li to be unprepared. The moment the afterimage appeared, Lu Li drew out his psychic gun and gathered it in front of his forehead to block.
There was an undetectable soft sound, and the bloody tentacles hit the rose mark on the gun body. The weak force could not even make the arm shake.
When it collided with the psychic gun, the bloody tentacles suddenly turned into ashes like feathers falling into flames.
Lu Li was slightly startled. He was ready to fight, but he didn't expect that the bloody tentacles that were treated so seriously were so fragile. He saw the illusory bloody tentacles in the air began to dissipate in the air. It was only then that he was sure that this bloody tentacle had been
solved.
Unexpectedly fragile...
Lu Li's eyes fell to his feet. There was no ashes left on the bloody tentacles, as if they had never appeared in this world.
"Did you find anything?"
Anna, who had been paying attention to Lu Li, turned around and asked.
"Um."
Lu Li nodded and responded simply.
Daisy next to Anna whispered: "You seem to have a good relationship."
Anna suddenly stuttered and stammered: "Wha, what... How could you tell that we have a good relationship?"
Daisy smiled, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in the depths of her eyes, and she said with some reluctance: "Then are you leaving..."
Anna didn't want to be separated so soon. She looked at Lu Li pleadingly: "Well, do you want to watch Daisy and the others rehearse?"
Daisy smiled half-heartedly, and Lu Li nodded without refusing.
…
"How was your performance Daisy?"
Lu Li felt a touch on his shoulder.
"Not bad." Lu Li replied.
Although he didn't hear a word of this opera rehearsal.
Not only was he thinking about the bloody tentacles, but also the music in this world did not fit Lu Li's aesthetics, even if the singing in the empty theater became ethereal.
The issue of the girl's aftermath has been resolved. The teacher contacted the college, and the college contacted the Watchtown Police Station to confirm Lu Li's identity and asked the teacher to cooperate with Lu Li's investigation.
After the girl woke up, Lu Li asked her several questions, including why she ran away after seeing him. The girl only said that after putting on the black lace dress, her thinking became strange, and she felt inexplicable fear after seeing Lu Li, and ran away because of fear and returned.
The locker room, and I don’t remember anything after that.
The problem arises in that skirt. The bloody tentacles seem to be hiding on it to attack Lu Li. So.
It was taken away by Lu Li on the pretext of "bringing it back for investigation".
Anna saw that Lu Li seemed to have something on his mind - although the normal Lu Li and the worried Lu Li were almost the same.
She didn't say to stay a little longer, but reluctantly said goodbye to Daisy, and followed Lu Li obediently out of the theater and back to the carriage.
"Are we going back to the detective agency?" Anna asked.
"Not yet..." Lu Li, who was thinking, was even more taciturn than usual. "There is one more thing to do."
There are two bloody tentacles above Watch Town.
…
Root Bank Building.
There are few more majestic buildings in Watchtown than this one.
Although the five-story masonry structure can only be regarded as one of many buildings in Belfast, most of them are made of wood and are only one or two stories tall in Watchtown.
Most residents are proud to work here.
The last tentacle of Watchtown fell into the building.
Just like at the entrance of the theater, Lu Li's temperament and dress allowed him to enter the bank building easily without being blocked.
The first and second floors here are the offices of Root Bank, while the third to fifth floors are rented out for use by other shops or companies in Shouwang Town.
The trouble caused by the too high floors was that Lu Li couldn't tell which floor the bloody tentacles landed on. He had to use a stupid method to search upwards layer by layer.
His eyes swept across the office area on the first floor. Lu Li walked towards the conference room on the edge and stretched out his hand to push it away.
"This month's indicators you must——"
The sound stopped suddenly, and a dozen figures who were reminiscing looked at the door at the same time.
"Sorry, I went to the wrong place."
After closing the door again, Lu Li walked to the general manager's office next door and opened the door.
"Sorry, I went to the wrong place."
He walked out with the same words and then walked into the next office.
"Sorry, I went to the wrong place."
This excuse was only used a few times. When he noticed that some employees working in the Root Bank building were paying attention to him, he stopped breaking in from room to room.
Lu Li decided to change his mind.
"Anna, float up and look for any floors where the rotten smell permeates the air."
"Ah? Oh."
Anna nodded confusedly and floated up to the ceiling.
Anna didn't let Lu Li wait too long. Two minutes later, her voice rang in his ears.
"I found it! It's on the fourth floor!" Anna brought back good news. "But how do you know O'Connor is here?"
"I'll tell you everything after we sort out the issues here."
Lu Li replied, deciding not to hide it anymore.
He needed some time to sort out the whole story and stop the curious baby Anna's mouth.
After arriving on the fourth floor, a faint odor filled the air.
This smell intensified when Lu Li walked out of the stairs, and reached its peak when Lu Li opened the door of a law firm.
It gave me a headache, and the unbearable smell of rotting corpses filled the air. Even the perfume in the air couldn't cover up the stench, and even made it more pungent.
Employees wearing suits or shirts who come and go have frowns on their faces.
"Hello, sir, this is me. How can I help you?" The front desk employee bowed slightly and asked with a smile.
The smile was a bit forced, maybe because of the smell permeating the office area.
"The smell is very serious, maybe it has rotted." Lu Li whispered to himself.
"I'm sorry, sir, what did you say?" The receptionist tilted his head in confusion, his ponytail swaying.
"I'm looking for someone who is rotting." Lu Li stood in front of the front desk.
