Richard lingered outside the door, with the shutters drawn down blocking his view of the inside. At a certain moment, Richard, who heard voices coming from inside, put his ear against the door amid the strange looks from his colleagues around him.
"The postman incident is over. I followed some other clues and burned the diary that was the source of the incident."
Lu Li said, the dissipation of the bloody tentacles explained everything.
The investigator sent by the Joint Exorcist Organization to investigate the incident took off his black wide-brimmed hat, bowed slightly to the higher-ranking Lu Li and said, "Thank you for your help, but... what I want to tell you is actually another matter.
thing."
"Have you been to Lady Merlin's place not long ago?"
"Yeah." Lu Li nodded.
The female investigator with a neutral appearance continued: "I arrived in the town not long ago, went to Ms. Merlin's place, and then... saw her body."
…
Richard, who was eavesdropping outside the door, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He left the door, with an expression full of disbelief and asked in a low voice to his colleagues: "Ms. Merlin from the Psychic Room is dead!?"
"Well, otherwise, why do you think the chief and deputy chief are not here?" the colleague replied worriedly.
It is not a secret that Ms. Merlin is an exorcist. Most of the residents in the town know this. Having an exorcist in the town makes most of the townspeople feel at ease at times like this.
And now, the exorcist who protected them from the strangeness suddenly died.
"When did it happen?" Richa asked anxiously.
"Not long after you and the investigator investigated the case." The colleague sighed. "The new investigator asked us not to go near the psychic house. He came to ask the investigator if he could know anything."
Richa, who was in complicated mood, said nothing and went back to the door to eavesdrop.
…
"How did she die?"
Lu Li's brows furrowed deeply.
"I inspected the scene and suspected -" the female investigator paused, lowering her head and looking at her wrist in confusion.
Just now, her sanity counter made a "clucking" sound.
"My assistant, Anna."
Following Lu Li's words, the silhouette of a girl in a white dress slowly emerged behind the seat.
Anna glanced gently toward the door.
Richa's eavesdropping and words
The female investigator's expression was a little unnatural, but the next moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and raised her voice with a hint of surprise: "Are you Mr. Lu Li?!"
After the incident in Shadow Town, Lu Li's reputation spread very quickly: he was a young investigator who thought he could solve difficult cases single-handedly and kill an evil god.
If this incident happened in normal times, people would only lament that a future agent is rising. But in today's era when the light is dim and hope is dimmed, this incident has indeed boosted the morale of the exorcists, and also forged a bright future for mankind.
The insignificant hope it brings.
"You know me?"
The female investigator's mood gradually returned to stability, but her attitude was still respectful: "As the most shining star, your name is known to everyone in The Exorcist."
Lu Li was no longer an unknown character, but with little information, he was unaware of it. Lu Li, who always stayed on the edge, would hardly have any interactions with other exorcists unless necessary.
Although this can avoid many daily chores, the sensitivity to news will always remain in the dull stage.
Maybe there is a chance to attend the exorcist party?
Lu Li thought to himself to get things back on track: "Let's talk about Ms. Meilin first."
"Of course. I explored the psychic room and found a strong smell of sulfur, sheep's hoof prints and an ominous atmosphere. This is somewhat consistent with the records of visitors from hell."
"Devil," Anna whispered.
Lu Li stayed quiet and listened silently.
"But I didn't doubt it at the time. After I contacted the police, they asked nearby residents. Someone said that Ms. Merlin was channeling a resident not long ago and saw you. So the police went to find that resident.
, and found that the resident was also dead, so I found you again, hoping you could know something."
Lu Li shook his head gently: "I don't know anything. The channeling ceremony had just ended when I entered."
"Will it target Lu Li?" Anna asked.
There were only three of them in the house at that time, and two of them had already met with bad luck...
"It's hard to say. The devil is always cunning and unpredictable. You'd better be more careful recently," the female investigator reminded.
"Are they strong?"
The female investigator shook her head: "Devils are not good at fighting, or rather than fighting, they are more willing to use all kinds of sins to deceive people into depravity, so that they can enjoy the delicious souls that fall into hell."
Just like [Sarah’s Book of the Dead Incident].
The situation was already bad, and now there are more demons from hell targeting Lu Li...
Anna's palms gradually clenched, and her anger caused her breath to become unstable and cold.
"It's just possible. The middle-aged man and Mrs. Merlin are the psychic parties, and we are just bystanders." Lu Li said, calming Anna down.
The female investigator continued: "I will stay in the coastal town for a few days. If there are no new troubles in the future, the postman incident and the devil incident will be over. The coastal town will return to peace and a new exorcist will be dispatched."
Sit back - if there are still people available, what about you?"
"Go back to Allen Peninsula, there are still some troubles waiting for me there."
"I wish you both a safe journey." The female investigator stood up and picked up the wide-brimmed hat that was placed on the desk.
Lu Li nodded: "Thank you for your knowledge."
Click——
The door opened, revealing Richa standing up straight in a hurry, pretending to be passing by.
"Are you done talking?" Richa waved and said hello.
Lu Li nodded to him and said to the female investigator, "Are the black crows and black cats in the psychic room okay?"
"Well, they're fine. We will send the crow back to the investigator base later, and the black cat..."
Lu Li remembered the way Anna looked at it not long ago, and suddenly said, "Can we take it away?"
The female investigator was a little confused, but still replied: "...of course, it's just an ordinary domestic cat."
After leaving the police station, Lu Li and the female investigator headed to Merlin's psychic room under Rui Cha's farewell gaze.
Anna was well prepared for this place, but except for the gradually dissipating smell of sulfur, there was only an empty hut with the candles extinguished, and no sign of the devil.
The black cat was very docile and not afraid of people. When Lu Li carried him into the carriage, he was quiet as if he knew what was going on. The glass-clear cat eyes reflected his former home.
He took the female investigator back to the police station, where they parted ways. Lu Li picked up the reins and drove out of the town.
The chatter in the carriage was blown away by the wind.
