Detective Agency of the Bizarre
Chapter 64 - 64 Sixty-four
64: Sixty-four.
Daily Life of Lu Li and Yang Chunxue — And the Mannequin 64: Sixty-four.
Daily Life of Lu Li and Yang Chunxue — And the Mannequin No matter what, Lu Li finally had some ace power now.
Shower——
The sound of water inside changed as if Lu Li had already stepped under the shower.
Just as Yang Chunxue was about to leave, Lu Li’s voice came from inside, “We’re taking action tonight, have you thought it through?”
“Thought it thro…
uh, yes, I’ve thought it through.
I want to become stronger.”
Despite her reluctance to admit it, Yang Chunxue was now part of a world more brutal than human society.
Here, only the fittest survive, and without strength, one would ultimately be eliminated.
Just like how Yang Chunxue in front of Shen Jingjing was powerless.
“What should I do?” she asked.
“You don’t need to do anything.” As his voice faded, only the sound of the water remained.
After about ten seconds, his voice sounded again, “Alright, any changes?”
Yang Chunxue, utterly confused, was about to speak when a surge of yin energy from her chest shook her soul: “When…!?”
The yin energy quickly increased, raising the Two-and-a-Half Star Fighter Yang Chunxue to nearly a Four-Star Fighter, about eighty percent of the strength she had when she first met Lu Li.
“Just now.” Lu Li answered from behind the door.
Rather than being concerned about her power increase, Yang Chunxue was more bothered by something else, “You just randomly enhanced me while taking a shower?!”
“What’s the problem?”
“It’s the first time!”
“…Are all women like you?” His voice mixed with the sound of water carried a hint of confusion, “Care so much about all kinds of ‘firsts,’ like dating anniversaries, wedding anniversaries, first hand-holding, hugs, kisses, first encounter with ghosts and such.”
“That last one – what the hell…
Hey, this is stereotyping, you know; that’s a preconceived notion at work!”
“Is it?” His response was non-committal.
Embarrassed and angry, yet unable to come up with a rebuttal, Yang Chunxue randomly changed the subject, “Haha, that’s funny, I don’t think like that at all, I’m going to play video games!”
Shower——
The sound of water stopped behind the door, and a much clearer voice spoke, “Can you get my clothes for me?
They’re in the wardrobe.”
“No way!”
Silence fell behind the door.
And the self-conscious Yang Chunxue had already slipped back to her bedroom, familiarly opening the gaming platform to start a game, ready to mess around.
Just as she was about to put on her headphones, the sound of a door opening emerged, nearly blending in with the sound from the television.
Hearing such a sound at this moment was definitely not a pleasant thing—especially as a figure then leaped into her sight.
“Aaaaah!
What are you doing?”
Startled, Yang Chunxue hastily covered her eyes, her hands forcefully slapping into her face.
A fleeting glance filled her mind with the image of sharply defined muscles and a slender body.
“Getting clothes.”
The dull thud of bare feet on the floor passed behind Yang Chunxue.
Squeak——
The wardrobe door opened.
“You just…
you just…” Yang Chunxue, her face red with embarrassment, stammered for a long time, struggling to get the words out, “You just came in like that!?”
“I draped a blanket over me.” Lu Li responded.
Then there was the light thud of something hitting the floor, like a blanket.
Yang Chunxue wished she could cover her ears as well, so she wouldn’t let her thoughts run wild uncontrollably.
Do ghosts even have brains?!
Why am I thinking about these things!
She blurted out incoherently, “Is that your reason for showing up in a beautiful girl’s room without clothes on?”
“To correct one thing, this is my room,” Lu Li’s voice sounded slightly muffled, as though he was searching for clothes in the wardrobe.
Ah, he didn’t correct the beautiful girl part—does he not think there’s anything wrong with that, damn damn damn what am I thinking about!
“But I’m here!”
“What I mean is…” Lu Li’s voice suddenly became clear again, followed by the sound of clothing rustling.
“A woman is at a disadvantage when a man sees her without clothes.
Is a woman at a disadvantage when she sees a man without clothes too?
Actually, you didn’t lose anything.”
“Right…
it’s not the same, okay!”
Amid the rustling of clothes, Lu Li said, “If I were you, I wouldn’t react like this if I saw you without clothes.”
“I told you it’s not the same, okay!
Also, what kind of stone-cold straight man are you?!”
Indeed, only I am normal in this Detective Agency.
And the newly added cute little one.
After waiting for a while, Yang Chunxue angrily shouted without turning her head back, “Are you dressed now?”
“Yes.”
“Really?” Yang Chunxue was skeptical.
“Hmm.”
Dubiously, she quickly turned her head, a hurried glance didn’t show her any unspeakable scene, and then she slowly turned her head back.
Her gaze focused on Lu Li, who was tying his tie.
Just as Yang Chunxue was about to say something, she suddenly noticed the wardrobe.
Her eyes could no longer move away, her expression filled with fear as if she had witnessed something unspeakable, and she trembled as she raised her hand, “This…
what is this…
”
“My wardrobe.”
“I’m not talking about that, I mean…
Why are they all the same clothes!
Why do all the clothes look the same!”
The wardrobe was divided into three sections, black, white, black.
The left side was lined with the same model of black coats, the middle was lined with the same model of white shirts, and the right side was lined with the same model of black pants.
Beneath the wardrobe were black ties and…
black leather shoes.
At first glance, it was very neat and pleasant but…
is a wardrobe supposed to be this neat?
A huge wardrobe crammed with dozens of clothes, yet only three types of clothes!
For the female group that Yang Chunxue represented, this was an absolute nightmare.
Having tied his tie, Lu Li took out a black coat and casually pointed to the wardrobe, explaining, “There are some differences, though.
This one I bought last month, this one three months ago, this one six months ago…”
“Who’s asking you that!
I…
never mind!” Yang Chunxue no longer wanted to continue talking to Lu Li.
“You must be really unpopular with women.”
Lu Li nodded, “Yes, I’m used to rational thinking, and…
it’s not a stereotype, but most women think emotionally.
They let their emotions control their actions.
So it’s difficult for me to understand what they are thinking.
And as you know, the most dangerous state to outsiders is being unpredictable.
That’s why I seldom interact with women.”
“You don’t need to seriously explain anything…
really…”
Yang Chunxue put on her headphones, unilaterally blocking out Lu Li.
It’s rare to see this guy talk so much in a short period of time…
Yang Chunxue suddenly felt moved, thinking about how Lu Li casually reinforced his own scene.
He didn’t hesitate at all to do so.
This trust touched her somewhat.
Though somewhat embarrassed, Yang Chunxue still hummed softly without any context, “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Do you know what I’m thanking you for?”
“No.”
“Then why are you saying you’re welcome!”
“Because you said ‘thank you’.”
“You…ugh, I am a lady!
I…
never mind!”
With communication not being so friendly, the Detective Agency returned to its usual quiet and peaceful state.
After all, the ghost and the person got to understand each other’s personalities better.
The mannequin stood at the door and had been standing there from the beginning to the end.
Even though it could express its thoughts, it was inconvenient for it to voice its opinions.
”
Rather than moving around, it preferred and was more accustomed to standing there, as well as shedding the clothes draped over it.
