One hundred and sixty-three. Leaving Thutes University
Jiminy Red, this exorcist who is not part of the three major organizations, knows much more information than Gavier York, but it is also limited. Most of the time, he hides himself to survive rather than looking for other survivors.
.
"Beware of those monsters that can sneak into humans. Most of them have the ability to obtain our memories..." Jiminy Reid's tone suddenly became slow and suspicious. He subconsciously thought that if a certain monster stole Lu Li's memory
…
Lu Li guessed what he was thinking, but this suspicion was destined to be difficult to explain and prove unless he killed a weirdo.
Lu Li happened to be able to do this, but Gavel York spoke faster. He told Jiminy Reid about Lu Li's encounter with the exorcist disguised as the Foley family, and did not forget to help him at the end.
Lu Li cleared away the suspicion: "And I saw with my own eyes that Lu Li and his assistants cut through butter as easily as they...killed two monsters, and they didn't even react!"
After hearing this, Jiminy Reid bowed slightly and said apologetically: "Please forgive my abrupt suspicion."
"That's right."
If he hadn't been able to spy on the Upside Down City, Lu Li would have been more suspicious than he was, but he wouldn't show it.
Jiminy Reid continued to analyze the current situation: There must be many survivors in the royal city that has become a weird paradise. Either hiding themselves alone, or gathering like them. The three major organizations may be as capable as Lu Li.
Distinguish between monsters and humans, where it is safer and easier to be attacked - everyone knows what Paradise is coming for at this time: the Council of Exorcists.
As King City is not allowed to go out for the time being, Jiminy Reid has formulated three plans: setting up a safe house to slowly absorb survivors; reuniting with members of the joint organization; and acting alone to clean up the weirdness.
However, the choice belongs to Lu Li, he may also choose the fourth plan——
"We will go explore the investigator base later," Lu Li said. "You stay here."
He must first give them the clues obtained by the old witcher, although they may already know it. Then he must explore the purpose of "Paradise" and how to leave.
It cannot be maintained indefinitely. It will always disappear or break out at some point.
"Of course." Jiminy Reid replied subconsciously, and was stunned after hearing the second half of the sentence: "Aren't we going together?"
"There may be danger, it's best for you and York to stay."
Jiminy Reid wanted to say something, but as Lu Li said, there was a high chance of encountering danger on the road, so it was not suitable for him and Gavel York to follow.
"Then what can we do?" Jiminy Red needed to be busy so that he wouldn't think too much.
"Indeed, but before that..."
Lu Li's black eyes lowered to his feet.
From behind the gap between the floors, a malicious eye was peering at them.
Anna's fist struck down like thunder and penetrated the floor, picking up a middle-aged man while sawdust flew.
Jiminy Red recognized it, the hotel owner busy in the kitchen.
Anna pulled out the kitchen knife from Lu Li's waist, slashed the hotel owner's limbs, and threw away the torso. Lu Li threw the psychic gun onto the torso that had lost its limbs, just like lighting a bale of hay with a match.
laugh--
The hotel owner became angry.
"That's how it was then!" Gavel York almost couldn't suppress his voice with excitement. "If we could solve all the weirdness..."
Jiminy Reid, who knew more information, was not so naive: "Do you know how many weirdos are mixed in the royal city? Almost every street is full of weirdos, and there are at least hundreds of thousands of weirdos in this city."
Even the numbers are disappointing enough.
Lu Li lowered his head, looked at the guests downstairs who raised their heads curiously, and said to Jiminy Reid: "We will clean up the weird things in the hotel before we leave. You pretend to be the owner here and paint crow marks on the windows.
If I meet any survivors I will ask them to come here."
After finishing her words, Anna kicked the stump downstairs and jumped down from the damaged hole. Lu Li on the other side picked up the salvation, put back the holster of his gun, walked out of the room and went down the stairs.
"Remember the password."
Gavel York shouted from behind.
Lu Li and Anna did not leave immediately. At least Red and York upstairs watched the drama about hunting for a few minutes. After cleaning the hall, the two went upstairs again and knocked on the occupied guest rooms one by one.
Reid and York felt that the title of "Sounding the Evil God's Death Knell" matched Lu Li's.
This kind of weird power that can be seen everywhere is limited. Although they have various weird abilities, the damage they can withstand is not much higher than that of ghosts.
Lu Li would not be careless because Jiminy Reid carefully reminded himself that he had been attacked by the evil spirit Visible Song - fortunately the Visible Song just passed by and did not bother him. But it also explained something.
Thing: There are not only weird things wandering around the royal city, but also evil spirits. Evil spirits are weird things that cannot be dealt with by common sense and routine.
Surprisingly, during the process of dealing with the hotel's weirdness, they found a surviving human being: a clerk who was dozing on the counter. He was almost treated as a weirdo by Anna, but his frightened scream saved his life. He was taken to the door by Lu Li
After confirming the identity, he was sent to Red York.
After dealing with all the weird things in the hotel, Anna gathered the corpses in the lobby, while Lu Li found traces of Withered Claws in the sewer where garbage was disposed of in the backyard of the hotel and in a finger-sized hole in the wall of the lobby.
The withered claws were like fish gathering on the shore, crowding in the sewer, tearing apart the corpse dropped by Lu Li.
He didn't find the familiar severed fingers and withered claws.
After feeding them three corpses, Lu Li and Anna returned to the hall. Without any help, they held the body parts and passed them in front of the hole. The withered claws in the wall spontaneously opened the wooden boards and accepted the feeding.
After feeding the third corpse, Anna stopped Lu Li from continuing and suggested that the remaining two corpses could be taken away and fed to the withered claws on the street——
Feeding them repeatedly does not allow unlimited accumulation of goodwill.
So they found sacks from the basement, packed the remaining two bodies, said goodbye to Jiminy Red and the other three and left the hotel.
…
On the street, Anna dragged the bulging sacks alongside Lu Li. They would stop every time they passed an alley with dead claws or a roadside sewer. They opened the sacks filled with body parts, as if they were giving bread to beggars.
Rich people give away food like that.
They looked weirder than weird, and were considered wasteful by some salivating passers-by.
Anna didn't plan to carry the sack everywhere, and withered claws could be seen everywhere in the city - before walking down the street, the sack behind her would be empty with nothing left.
Anna threw away the empty sack, picked up Lu Li again, and headed to the disguised store at the investigator's base: the Strange Grocery Store.
