The target was almost confirmed, but Lu Li still read the rest of the content, sorted out the paper notes and handed them to Pulis.
Pulis waved his hand and refused: "Just tell me what to do."
"Can't the Night Watch even understand what's going on?" Lu Li asked in confusion.
"We are only responsible for execution." Pulis replied.
The Night Watchmen are more pure than Lu Li imagined.
But only in this way can we maintain our vitality to a greater extent and not have our will destroyed by the mysterious and weird things.
Lu Li didn't say anything. He silently put away the information and said to Pulis, "Let the alliance investigate the whereabouts of Hawkinson and the ancient book."
He and the ancient books are particularly suspicious, and the alliance is probably already doing this.
"Have you identified the contaminant?" Pulis asked.
"Hokkinson gave Petra an ancient book a week ago, that may be the source." Lu Li said, thought for a while, and added: "So we are not actually infected."
If the contaminant is an ancient book, then the whole incident can be clarified: Hawkinson gave Petra the ancient book - after Petra brought it home - the twisted knowledge infected all the objects in the house - the next day Petra
La takes the infected water cup to the cafe - the cafe is infected by the water cup, 3 Elm Street is infected - the cafe infects the remaining four buildings - a week later the evil thing is born in Petra's house - another day later
Café and 3 Elm Street gave birth to something evil.
But Lu Li still has one more thing to make sure of -
How many cannibal houses are there that have not yet been discovered?
These five households were by no means the only customers in the cafe in the past week, but only their homes were infected. Lu Li simply asked some questions and easily got the results to confirm the cause of the infection: they were used to using their own cups, and the cups
They are usually left in cafes and will not be taken away.
That's a relief, since the cafe's only customers are Elm Street residents, at least lately.
Just in case, Lu Li asked if any outsiders went to his home after that and if any debris was thrown out of the home.
Residents of four households, including the cafe, fell silent.
Routine garbage is produced every day.
An unspeakable oppressive atmosphere suddenly descended on the entire store, and some team members couldn't help but breathe heavily. They couldn't imagine how terrifying the crisis would be if the pollutants spread.
As the leader of the team, Pulis remained calm and said: "Each block has its own garbage station, which will only be cleaned on Sundays."
Lu Li reminded: "Today is Sunday."
"Damn it!"
Pulis couldn't hold his breath for a moment. He knocked down the wooden chair with his calf and sat up suddenly. He turned to Matthew and shouted: "Matthew! Tell the alliance to contact the garbage station and stop the garbage from Elm Street! Others follow me."
Elm Street Dumpster!”
Pulis and others put on their ponchos and hurriedly left the store. The store became quiet, with only the civilians who heard some sporadic content looking at each other in confusion.
A few minutes later, Pulis and others appeared outside the window and returned to the store.
Lu Li noticed that they were missing two people.
It seems there is no bad news.
With his hood piled on the back of his head, Pulis breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Li, "They are still there. The heavy rain helped us."
The heavy rain did help them. If it weren't for the mutated rain, Lu Li would not have gone out and stopped at the cafe, nor would he have discovered the fact that the [Man-Eating House] was an infectious agent. It would have stayed dormant like this for several days
Then suddenly broke out.
"Investigator Lu Li, what should we do next?"
"Investigate Petra's home and find the book." At this point, Lu Li paused and looked at Matthew: "Did you tell the alliance about investigating Hawkinson and the ancient book?"
"Not yet."
"Go and talk now."
"Um."
Matthew turned and walked towards the second floor.
Pulis took off his poncho, lifted up the fallen chair and said doubtfully: "Investigating Petra's home? We can't get in there."
"Have you ever heard of fishing? Humanity's advantages lie in intelligence and tools."
Pulis almost understood what Lu Li wanted to express.
After a while, Matthew came down from upstairs and said to Lu Li: I told the alliance that you want to investigate Petra's house. They asked me to tell you that they will contact the investigators and send helpers to assist. They will arrive in a short time.
.
"helper?"
"Yes, a senior investigator."
Lu Li nodded and looked at Pulis who was out of his thoughts.
"I'm getting people together right now to get some gadgets that will allow us to get things out of the house without entering it," Pulis said.
Lu Li stood up and said, "Then let's go over now."
"Now?"
"I have something to confirm."
Lu Li picked up the illustrated book of wild animals that he had read through, then reached for the love book and planned to return it to the bookshelf——
The unfolded book suddenly moved to the side, avoiding Lu Li's palm.
"..." After a brief silence, Lu Li turned to his boss and said, "How much does this book cost?"
"What...?" The boss was confused for a moment and said quickly: "If you like it, I can give it to you."
"Thanks."
Lu Li nodded without politeness and said to Anna, "Take it with you when you leave."
After returning the illustrated book, Lu Li put on his poncho that was no longer wet and went out again with Pulis, Matthew and others.
…
The heavy rain fell to the ground, and as far as the eye could see, there was a cold boil on the bluestone, and the rainwater in the drainage channel rushed downstream.
The rain has not weakened at all compared to before.
It is said that this is just a prelude - a prelude to the arrival of the real rainy season.
After the actual rainy season arrives, fishing boats are unable to leave the port and factories are shut down. Even the bosses who exploit workers harshly do not dare to take risks and continue working.
Arriving in front of Petra's house at 33 Elm Street, Lu Li once again felt the evil creature's malicious call.
The door was ajar, it couldn't be locked, and it would reopen on every previous attempt.
"Maybe I can go in and try..." Anna whispered in her ear.
"That's too risky." Lu Li rejected Anna's suggestion and turned back to Pulis and others behind him and said, "Can you retreat to the middle of the street?"
Pulis frowned, hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded: "Please pay attention to safety."
The night watchman retreated to the center of the street. As the distance grew, Lu Li and the house began to become unreal, like a sketchy pencil sketch under the rain.
Lu Li raised his hand and pressed it against the outer wall of the house.
A sound muffled by the rain came from the wall.
Lu Li concentrated his attention and whispered to the call in his consciousness.
"Can you hear me?"
After waiting for a while, the call in the inspiration has not changed. Underneath the gentle appearance is a bone-chilling malice that makes the blood freeze.
Lu Li asked, "Who are you?" and "What are you?" one after another, but received no answer.
This weirdo can't communicate, it only has a simple instinct to eat.
