The detective agency's afternoon is usually idle, just like the old man's afternoon, where newspapers, coffee, and tea are the main themes.
Lu Li didn't have coffee or tea, but he had a lot of newspapers.
The first page of news was still about the Immortal Giant, and there was still no progress, at least in the eyes of the public. The verdict was officially announced in the Baron Joseph case, the plaintiff's prosecution was dismissed and the plaintiff was charged with false accusation. However, the plaintiff testified about a nobleman and claimed to be that
The nobles instructed him to do this - the situation suddenly changed from entertainment news to political conspiracy. It is expected that Joseph will continue to appear in the newspaper for a while and compete with the Immortal Giant for the first page.
There were more homicides than usual, but Lu Li didn't see news about Aojin Town on it.
Content related to weirdness is completely blocked and is not known to ordinary people.
The weather forecast for the next two days is cloudy on Friday and light rain on Saturday. The apocalyptic rain forecast in the "Investigator Weekly" does not know whether it corresponds to light rain on Saturday or an unknown day on Sunday.
Or maybe the "rain of abnormality" is just a metaphor and does not mean real rain.
After reading the newspaper and the food was almost cooked, Lu Li finished his lunch. It was just one o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still a long time before dark.
Taking advantage of the free time, Lu Li left the detective agency and went to the investigator base to conduct a sanity test.
Lu Li didn't bring Anna with him, she wasn't suitable to be there.

There were some customers buying tools in the store, and the alliance staff, like real store owners, guided them to buy, ignoring Lu Li who walked straight to the deepest part of the store.
After passing the one occupying the front wall, take the elevator to the lobby, ask the alliance staff in the rest area for a glass of milk, and wait for Tesla to appear.
Before going out, he told Tesla what he was going to do later.
Not long after waiting, the sound of the door opening was heard from the other side of the hall, and Tesla, dressed in a neat tuxedo, appeared behind the door and walked towards the rest area.
"You seem to be in good condition." Tesla smiled gently and sat down opposite Lu Li. "Do you want to go to my office to talk?"
"It's fine here." Lu Li glanced behind the counter.
His milk is still being prepared.
Tesla looked at him thoughtfully, showed his understanding, waved hello, and ordered a cup of coffee without sugar.
He took out a dark branch from his arms that was the same as Hades's branch, but this one had no bite marks, and he could feel an obscure and ominous aura from it.
Lu Li stretched out his hand to touch it like last time, and Tesla retracted his hand at the same time: "Now let's just chat."
"How should I transfer the investigation points to you?" Lu Li asked straight to the point.
"I'm not in a hurry. You can transfer the investigation point through the merchant, just tell them who you want to give it to and how much you want to give it to." Tesla took off the white glove on his right hand, neatly folded it and put it in his pocket. "You
What happened? Why do you want so much money?"
"If money is spent, it will be gone."
"...Sounds very reasonable." Tesla was slightly silent and said, "If you need help, you can talk to me."
"I will."
Milk and coffee were brought to him by Alliance personnel. He turned a blind eye to the branch of the Mind Tree on the dining table, put it down, turned around and walked away.
"How do you feel? The first incident." Tesla moved the steaming coffee cup in front of him and asked with interest.
"Depressed and confused."
"confused?"
Tesla was a little surprised. He thought that this kind of emotion would not appear in Lu Li.
"It's hard to decide which actions are correct. You can do anything right, and you can do anything wrong. It's like walking on thin ice."
Tesla nodded, understanding Lu Li's emotions: "This is normal. Newcomers usually have this kind of trouble. Weird people are like children with bad personalities. We can never guess their behavior, so we can only try to be as close to correct as possible.
"
For example, evil spirits and the ritual sense of evil spirits.
Lu Li asked: "How did you solve it?"
"Rely on habits and knowledge." Tesla tapped his forehead with two fingers and said: "The former will not make us worry about gains and losses, and the latter will make us understand them better."
At this point, Tesla added: "You are unlikely to have the opportunity to see those investigators who cannot get used to them."
Behind the calm words is the bloody and cruel reality.
Lu Li changed the subject: "I want to know about resentful spirits and evil spirits."
Tesla seemed to have expected that Lu Li would ask a lot of questions at this time, and answered with a smile: "For your ghost lady?"
Lu Li was noncommittal.
Tesla thought thoughtfully and said: "You may already know that only humans can become ghosts after death. They have human consciousness, thoughts, and logic, but the fact is that we all know that ghosts and humans are two different existences...
…”
"Their strength can be increased without limit. They only need to kill people, kill other ghosts, or generate strong negative emotions. Before they become ghosts, they can still be regarded as human beings to a certain extent. Do you know the seesaw?"
Lu Li nodded.
Tesla seems to be going for the metaphor, although a scale sounds more appropriate than a seesaw.
"The state of ghosts is like a seesaw. All their humanity is on one side, and the breath of the other world they are contaminated with is on the other side. When they are still ghosts, the balance is still within the controllable range. Or in other words, the breath of the other world has not completely invaded the ghosts.
.”
"But after being promoted to Wraith Spirits, their mental projections will be connected to the breath of the other world. Just like human beings' sanity will decrease when they come into contact with the breath of the other world, their humanity will be erased when they come into contact with the breath of the other world."
"The breath of the inner world is constantly appearing in the outer world through spiritual projection. This will make the resentful spirit that accepts it become stronger, but it will also make the seesaw unbalanced - one side will get higher and higher, and the other side will get lower and lower.
"
"This process is irreversible. A ghost that becomes a resentful spirit will irreversibly fall into the abyss and finally become an evil spirit. You have already seen the evil spirit. The different forms and ritual senses of the evil spirit are all derived from it.
A spiritual projection during the period of wraith spirits.”
"There is a chilling saying that ghosts are makers chosen by the other world. They infect the ghosts, allowing the ghosts to breed psychic projections, allowing the psychic projections to continue to grow, and eventually devour the human part of the ghosts, completely turning them into the inner world.
The world exists.”
"This is why even though we all know that ghosts were once humans, we still have to eliminate them. They are destined to be the enemy of the entire human world."
When Tesla said this, he looked at Lu Li with unprecedented seriousness and solemnity and spoke every word.
"If you care about her, never let her become a wraith."
