Lu Li knew very well the origins of Remi and Jimmy.
It was a story chapter in "Investigator Trial", which was once an adventure story with an unknown name.
Or to be more precise, it is an evil spirit whose body is "an adventure story".
["Investigator Trial" is an evil spirit, well, just like you think, it was made by the first generation of demon slayers. Its body is an adventure game book, which contains many story chapters. Use it
People who play the story game will usually receive letters from the characters in the story chapter within a few days after the game ends. Don’t worry, it will only send you some letters, otherwise we won’t use them for assessment.】
This is what Tesla said after the test. Like other test subjects, Lu Li also received a letter, but after that he received several letters one after another - which was obviously different from the normal situation.
Although the merchant's reminder was brief, it summarized the entire content: Remy and Jimmy were escaping from the Book of Evil Spirits and truly appearing in this world due to their repeated exchanges with Lu Li.
But apart from this, Lu Li also wanted to know how the merchant knew what was going on here.
Just because of an envelope with something written in it?
How do businessmen do it?
Who is the businessman?
Why use it as a nickname?
"Do you want to send this letter again?" the businessman asked again.
Rain dripped from the hem of its coat, pooled under its feet, and wet a small area of the floor.
Lu Li, who was separated from his thoughts, raised his eyes and looked at the shadow under the businessman's cloak: "What if I persist?"
"reason."
"They are friends." Lu Li replied.
"So handsome!" Anna whispered quietly from the side.
The businessman silently put the envelope into the exaggeratedly huge backpack and zipped it up.
"Is there anything else to trade?" the businessman asked.
"How much does the deep sea stone cost now?"
"9120 shillings."
Prices continue to rise.
"Can you cut the deep sea stone?"
"It's not free."
"What about grinding it into powder and mixing it into cement?"
Lu Li thought of some ugly gray walls he saw in wealthy areas.
"It's okay." The businessman replied, but then he said: "Deep sea stones cannot solidify as hard as cement, and impurities inside will make them lose their effectiveness."
"Does that mean it can only be cut into bricks and stones?"
"Um."
This gave up Lu Li's idea of using the deep sea stone as cement.
The two cubic stones were finally handed over to the merchant. Lu Li's request was to cut the deep-sea stone cubes into 10 cubic centimeter-sized cubes, which must be accurate. The remaining scraps were ground into powder and used to glue the gaps between the stones.
"How are you going to take away the two deep-sea stones?" Lu Li asked after paying the 1,000 shilling processing fee.
"Take it away."
The businessman carried a huge backpack, squatted down in front of the deep sea stone, and picked up two deep sea stones.
It's as easy as picking up two empty cardboard boxes.
Only the floorboards of the detective agency creaked under the pressure.
After picking it up, the height of nearly three meters made the Deep Sea Stone almost touch the ceiling. Lu Li opened the door and looked at the businessman, but before he could say anything, the merchant had already walked toward the door with the Deep Sea Stone in his arms.
"wait--"
Anna only had time to scream and immediately shut her mouth.
She saw the businessman walking straight out of the door, which was only two meters high, holding the deep sea stone that was nearly three meters high.
At that moment, it was as if the businessman and his belongings suddenly disappeared into this space.
"How did it do it?" Lu Li looked at Anna.
"I have no idea……"
"Can you feel its scent?"
"I can't feel anything..."
After a moment of hesitation, Lu Li stopped the businessman who came to the corridor, and when he stopped and turned around, he asked, "How did you do that just now?"
"The world moves."
"What is that?"
"This information requires 100 contribution points."
"goodbye."
After watching the businessman disappear at the corner of the corridor, Lu Li returned to the detective agency.
Anna disappeared. Lu Li looked around and walked towards the desk and said, "You can't tell, you are the soul."
After the words fell, Anna's soft "oh" sound came from the empty space in the living room, and her figure appeared.
"What is the other world like?"
Lu Li asked her while sitting behind the desk.
Anna returned to the sofa, held down her skirt and sat down. She tilted her head and thought for a while and said: "It's gray and shabby, without color, just gray and black and not-so-pure white... It's like no one has come here for hundreds of years.
It's the same thing. I can't see anyone, I can only feel the breath."
At this point, she smiled sheepishly: "But I have already memorized your breath, so I won't admit my mistake or find it lost."
"My breath? What is it like."
"I don't know how to describe it... I just feel you there, and the psychic gun, and their aura is very obvious."
There is only one layer of the surface world, which is the world where human beings live, and it is also the ontology of countless world layers - at least the scenes in the inner world are consistent with the surface world.
The other world has countless layers. Even the oldest demon slayers don’t know how many layers there are. The other world where Anna is is just one of them. Not just her, almost all ghosts are from this layer.
.
Listening to Anna's mumbling, Lu Li picked up a wet corner of "Investigator Weekly"
Before he had time to open it, the words and pictures on the homepage made Lu Li's pupils suddenly tighten.
[A terrifying giant appears on the seaside of Zernst Port!]
[This scene appeared at midnight on Saturday, located one to two kilometers away from the coast. The Demon Slayer Association was unable to find any information about this weirdness in the records, and suspected that it was the projection of some kind of extremely terrifying and dangerous existence in the other world]
[Investigators are launching an investigation into the terrifying giant]
[Warning: Any human who actually witnesses the terrifying giant must suffer a "judgment ritual". Every time he moves to the terrifying giant at varying distances, he will suffer a "judgment ritual". It took us a long time to prevent this source of infection from appearing in newspapers.
(A total of seventeen people in the filming crew and editorial department lost their lives due to the "Trial Ceremony". Let us pray for the dedication of these exorcists: Tuze Dove (female), Christian Stein (male), Charlie
——)]
[The appearance of the terrifying giant has killed nine-tenths of the residents of Zernst City. Currently, the northwest of Allen Peninsula and the city of Skoda in the east of Allen Kingdom have been completely blocked. If your level is not enough as an agent, please call us.
Never approach this area!]
Zernst Port is in the northwest of Allen Peninsula, and Shadow Swamp is in the southwest. It is only separated from the inland by a few dozen miles of ocean. Remy and Jimmy landed there when they first arrived in Allen Peninsula.
To the right of the text describing the horror, there is a picture taken of the terrifying giant, the protagonist of this incident.
