The metal lock on the door latch blocked Lu Li's way.
Without giving Lu Li time to think, slow and heavy steps were heard from upstairs, approaching.
"Mr. Lu Li, where are you? Stop hiding and come out quickly."
Looking around the living room, Lu Li quietly walked behind the desk, ducked and hid.

The heavy moving sound was like a death knell, approaching the living room step by step.
The dust on the edge of the stairs was shaken and fell, and the thick legs under the floral nightgown appeared between the guardrails.
Mrs. Slav has come to the living room.
This beast-like and savage woman walked to the center of the living room, and a thunderous voice sounded: "So you like this kind of fun? Mr. Lu Li is really an interesting person."

The slippers rubbed against the wooden board, and the Slavic lady moved again and began to walk towards the desk, getting closer and closer.
Lu Li had already heard the suppressed excited breathing.
snap——
When Mrs. Slav was about to reach the desk, there was a small sound on the stairs, like the sound of stones rolling down, or like the sound of accidentally stepping on a protruding wooden board.
As soon as the footsteps stopped, Mrs. Slavic laughter sounded from behind the desk: "Mr. Lu Li, I have found you."
Bang bang bang——
The sound of Lady Slav's running was like a battering ram, and could be felt even in the hall
Lu Li stood up from his hiding place, his elusive and quiet gaze falling on the corner of the stairs on the second floor.
…
Poor, weak and helpless Oliver huddled beside the bed, feeling just as guilty and worried about Lu Li as he showed.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a Slavic lady pressing down on Lu Li.
Do you want to help the boss? But Mrs. Slav can break my neck with one hand...
In the midst of inner suffering, the door of the room was pushed open, and a figure that shouldn't have appeared appeared at the door.
"Tell me what happened."
Facing the surprised gaze, Lu Li's tone remained calm and he slowly and silently closed the door.
There were some voices outside, and some tenants found that the apartment door was locked and were asking Mrs. Slav.
Oliver, who had been extremely troubled for a long time, did not hide anything and told Lu Li everything that had happened.
"So because I praised the Slavic lady, she thought I liked her and asked you to lure me here?"
"It's... almost."
Oliver couldn't think of any other reason besides this, and Mrs. Slav indeed showed her...fascination with Lu Li.
Lu Li was silent, and Oliver was frightened.
"The door is locked. Is there any way you can get out of here?"
Lu Li's voice sounded, and he didn't talk too much about Oliver betraying him.
Oliver raised his head suddenly, his eyes hopeful. He opened his mouth to say something, but the footsteps of the Slavic lady suddenly echoed in the corridor outside the door.
Oliver's face turned pale and he said hurriedly: "Boss, please hide quickly, the Slavic lady is here."
Lu Li took a deep look at Oliver and hid behind the bed.

The sound of approaching footsteps disappeared behind the door, and the door handle turned slowly.
Squeak——
The door opened with a grinding sound, and the Slavic lady's body was crowded outside the door.
Oliver put on a surprised face and walked forward quickly: "Mrs. Slav, why are you here? Have you already met my boss?"
"Has Mr. Lu Li been here?" The lighthouse's gaze fell on Oliver like a beam of light.
Oliver couldn't look directly at that line of sight and lowered his head. Suddenly he raised his head with determination and stammered: "Come on, I've been here before..."
"The boss said he was going to hide on the third floor, and he just left!"
"You did a good job, little Oliver." Mrs. Slavic was very satisfied with Oliver's answer. "If Lu Li becomes your boss, maybe you won't need to spend a penny to live here in the future."
"I wish you success, Mrs. Lu Li." Oliver bowed his head respectfully.
It wasn't until Mrs. Slavic left that Oliver raised his head and closed the door.
He leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief. As if thinking of something, he said to Lu Li who stood up from behind the bed: "Boss, you can escape through the window!"
Oliver rushed to the window and opened it. The breeze rushed in from the outside and blew the curtains around the edges.
"Where's the commission information?"
Lu Li's voice made Oliver pause. He rushed to the dining table as if thinking something, sorted out a pile of papers not far from the unwashed plates, and excitedly handed them to Lu Li.
He thought this was the end of his new job, but Lu Li's words showed that he was still willing to hire him.
"Boss, I have no choice! If I die, take care of my sister. Her name is Joanna!" Courage emerged from Oliver's thin body. He looked deeply at Lu Li and said, "Now, hurry up and leave."
Oliver opened the door and shouted with all his strength: "Mrs. Slavic! My boss is here!"
After shouting, he did not look back at Lu Li, but hit his forehead heavily on the door frame.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, and Oliver's eyes turned white and he fell to the ground.
Lu Li, who was watching all of this silently, withdrew his gaze, glanced at the corridor where footsteps were approaching quickly, and turned towards the window.
Black and gold streets, pedestrians coming and going.
A figure falling from the sky caused passers-by to exclaim. Their eyes moved back and forth between the figure and the second-floor window, full of surprise.
Lu Li dusted off his body like an outsider, put on his hat, and walked away on the street.
…
"Why did Mr. Lu Li run away?"
There was a trace of sadness in Mrs. Slav's tone. If you didn't look at her, she would sound like a woman whose heart was broken by a man.
"Hiss...but...maybe Madam, you scared him..." Oliver touched the lump on his forehead and took a breath of air.
The terrifying gaze fell on him, and Oliver quickly added: "My boss is a very introverted person, madam, you are too enthusiastic."
"Little Oliver, what can you do."
"For example...writing a love letter...?"
…
Bang--
The door was blown shut by the wind.
The top hat was hung on the hanger. Lu Li returned to the deserted detective agency, walked around to the seat behind the desk, sat down, and unfolded today's newspaper.
He didn't read in the newspapers what happened at the port yesterday.
It seems that it has been confirmed that the Rhodes in the harbor encountered something in the deep sea yesterday.
After quietly reading all the contents in the newspaper, including some advertisements, Lu Li picked up a book in the drawer and pulled out the piece of paper.
[Important: Solve the ghost that haunts you (Complete)]
After adding the content in brackets, Lu Li put down his pen and thought about what to do next.
Lu Li hasn't decided yet whether he wants to become an exorcist.
This world is already full of dangers, and the exorcist who faces the ghosts is the first to bear the brunt. This is somewhat inconsistent with Lu Li's purpose of stably understanding the world.
So, let’s earn 1,000 shillings through entrustment first.
