Lu Li and Hades looked at each other at the same time, and they could tell from each other's eyes that the other didn't know what was going on.
Unspeakable malice filled the air, exuding a hateful aura that made people want to stay away from it. The surrounding black silhouettes became restless, they moved, as if they wanted to leave here.
"Where are you?"
This sentence echoed in the void again, this time it was an obscure man's voice.
Lu Li's eyes left the extremely nervous Hades and fell on the PoWuzhu.
Did it attract the existence of sound...
"Where are you?"
The voice in the void changed again, becoming the indifferent voice of a woman.
Lu Li recognized the voice. It was... Anna's voice.
Together with the images of the first two voices, the images came to mind: Jojo and Oliver.
Hades' expression was still tense and he didn't seem to be surprised, which meant that he couldn't distinguish his voice... Is this question directed at him?
Lu Li decided to stay quiet and not answer the unknown voice in the void.
He listened to the subtle sounds on the other side, some noises like the sound of water flowing, and the almost imperceptible whispers that were covered up gradually emerged.
"Where are you?"
A hoarse, cold voice that sounded like a male's voice sounded, and Lu Li couldn't tell who its owner was.
"Where are you?"
"Where are you?"
"Where are you?"
"Where are you?"
The changing voices kept repeating the same words. Some were people he knew. Some voices were very familiar to him but he couldn't remember them.
"Where are you?"
An extremely familiar yet extremely unfamiliar female voice echoed in the void.
There was a sudden buzzing in Lu Li's mind, noise filling his entire field of vision appeared in his eyes, and he lost the ability to think.
All his mind was attracted by this voice.
"Where are you?"
"Where are you?"
"Where are you?"
The uninterrupted human voices continued to sound, and Lu Li was still sitting in front of the bar, motionless.
Rustling, rustling...
The whispers in the background suddenly amplified at this moment, covering up the questions one after another.
Suddenly, blood-red spots appeared in the gaps between the wooden boards on the ceiling above the head. They grew and spread to the surrounding area, and disgusting veins like blood vessels rolled around, climbing and occupying the entire top of the head and the surrounding dim areas.
Hades' expression changed from nervousness to fear. He raised his head and almost subconsciously touched his hand behind him - his psychic gun.
"what is that!?"
Hades shouted in a low voice, but no one answered him.
He realized something and wanted to extinguish the remaining candle.
The outstretched arm was blocked by a palm. Hades looked up and saw Lu Li watching him calmly. Wei Kecha shook his head: "You didn't lie before, right?"
The candle of delusion he refers to cannot be extinguished.
Hades woke up and slowly retracted his arm. But waiting to die and doing nothing was not his style. Almost instantly, he thought of a solution, picked up the oil lamp and tilted the flame to accelerate the burning and consumption of the Candle.
Lu Li raised his head, still observing the continuous changes on the ceiling.
Blood vessels cover every part of the ceiling. At some point, all the black silhouettes in the detective agency lobby have disappeared. Only the two people in front of the bar under the candlelight are left in the empty space.
On the wall densely packed with blood vessels, a crack suddenly opened the blood vessel and emerged from the veins.
"Rustling, rustling, rustling..."
Malice filled Lu Li's body, whispering and bewitching him.
Whispers filled every corner, and the crack gradually opened to both sides, turning into an eye trying to open and occupying the entire wall.
The blood vessels serve as eyelids. Under the cracked translucent eyelid film, the bloodshot black-red eyeball, several meters in diameter, moves restlessly.
Maybe when this eye opens, that's when it finds Lu Li.
At this moment, the surrounding light dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lu Li moved his eyes and looked at the broken candle that had been burned out and the last flame was fading away.
"Where are you?"
Like the voice of a nightmare echoing in the empty hall, as the candle stopped burning, the image on the ceiling above dimmed, disappeared, and returned to its original appearance.
Along with the image, the whispers that filled the ears disappeared.
"Success?"
A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Hades' forehead, showing his embarrassment.
He looked at Lu Li, still nervous: "What is that?!"
"I want to ask that too."
Hades tried to pry out something from under Lu Li's calm appearance, but he found nothing, so he had to look away in confusion and put the lamp back in its place.
Under the steady light, he waved his hand tiredly: "Forget it, there is probably something wrong. These ghosts cannot be understood with common sense... If there are any negative effects, I will ask you to compensate!
"
At the last sentence, he suddenly yelled fiercely, and then returned to his previous weakness: "I'm very tired. If you have other questions, you can wait -"
"I do have other questions."
Lu Li interrupted Hades, ignoring his intention to chase away the customers and his unhappy look, and placed the flintlock gun and its holster on the bar.
"She bloomed the first flower. What does it mean?"
Hades' impatience was driven away by shock. He picked up the holster and stared at the elegant rose blooming on the gunshot in horror: "How many ghosts have you killed!?"
"That's why I have 1,000 shillings." Lu Li replied.
However, the complete blooming of the first rose is largely related to the dissipation of Misseliya. After Misseliya disappeared, the rose almost fully bloomed in an instant, and the remaining part was completely completed in the haunted house and just now.
Hades looked at Lu Li for a long time as if he had seen a ghost, then returned the holster to Lu Li: "I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it?"
"Don't use the psychic gun for the time being. At least don't use it in front of weak enemies."
"Why?"
"The power of the rose...let's put it this way. The psychic is the masterpiece of the second-generation Demon Slayer organization. As a homologue, it has an incomprehensible relationship with that paradoxical world. After the third-generation Demon Slayer organization disappeared,
Although the method of making the psychic gun is still there, the secrets have disappeared. I can only tell you that every blooming rose represents a weird ability... it may be good or it may represent bad, this can only
Find out for yourself."
"More importantly... roses will speed up the invasion of you by the other world."
The third generation of demon slayers.
Lu Li knew that he had new questions, but Hades just waved his hand: "Don't ask me, the relevant information has been lost to the dust of history. Maybe there is still some information from the current Demon Slayer Organization and the Night Watch. Okay.
, you should go."
Lu Li left the detective agency after solving some of the problems but leaving some more problems.
The place had returned to its original calm. Behind the bar under the oil lamp, Hades looked at the empty hall and whispered slowly.
