Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 143 Fifty-eight. Waiting before leaving

   The pace of running slowed down, and the crisp sound of stepping on dead branches and vines disappeared.

  Lu Li stopped and frowned.

   It was a big tree that was incompatible with the surrounding dead trees. The tone of the Shadowswamp is a lifeless, lifeless, gray and dark, dead swamp.

   But this tree has the exact opposite vitality. Even though it had no green shoots and the branches had been damaged by the hurricane, the eerie perception was still there, as if it was alive and breathing.

   "That's... a human arm sticking out of the tree hole?"

  Anna lowered her voice, as if she was afraid to wake up this strange tree. She felt the same, even stronger than Lu Li.

   Didn't sense any malice from the tree body, Lu Li left the psychic gun with his palm and stared at the tree hole.

   The tree hole was dark and dark, and it was impossible to see what was inside. Only an arm with a piece of cloth stuck out from the depths of the tree hole and grabbed forward.

"I gonna go see……"

  Ana suggested, but Lu Li walked towards the strange tree before her.

   It was a highly rotten arm, and the severely rotten palm had revealed the bones. Arms stretched straight forward, palms up, as if to grab something.

   Approaching about five meters, Lu Li stopped and held up the oil lamp, but this distance could not allow him to see the situation in the tree hole clearly, so he continued to approach.

"Be careful……"

  Anna gently reminded Lu Li, who continued to move forward, spread out his breath and pervaded Lu Li, ready to deal with any emergencies in the future.

Half of Lu Li's attention was on the tree that was getting closer and closer in front of him, and the other half was on the surrounding area - there were several strange trees like this in the jungle ahead.

   It seems that Luli has broken into their habitat, or there are such things everywhere in the depths of the swamp.

  These big trees have one characteristic: they have spacious tree holes that can hide the next person.

   As for the use of tree holes...

   Lu Li stopped again. He was standing less than two meters away from the trunk of the big tree, within reach.

Under the    oil lamp, the rotting corpse in the tree hole is completely presented in front of you.

"This is……"

  Anna's eyes narrowed, somewhat frightened.

   This is a badly decomposed corpse curled up in a tree hole, wearing a dirty long dress that shouldn’t be in a swamp. Her head was lowered, and a right arm stretched out of the tree hole.

   "Our target, she's already dead." Lu Li replied.

  A thin, almost invisible red silk thread fell on the back of the corpse's head, and the blood-colored tentacles resided in her brain.

   is like the one in Lu Li's head.

   The head suddenly trembled strangely, and the next moment, a wriggling tentacle emerged from the hair on the back of the head.

  Before Lu Li did anything to the corpse, the blood-colored tentacles that sensed the breath of the stranger appeared. But Lu Li was not an ordinary person who would scream and run away when he saw the **** tentacles. Before it jumped up and touched Lu Li, it was controlled by Anna and hung in the air.

  Lu Li took out the psychic gun again with almost no effort, swung it forward, and smashed the blood-colored tentacles into a piece of bubbles, which disappeared.

   is a bit ridiculous, it is this fragile thing now living in Lu Li's brain, like a time bomb, making Lu Li run for it.

   The blood-colored tentacles hanging from the sky began to become illusory, disappearing.

   Thinking about the trouble this time around is enough to make Richard jump up and down.

   looked away, Lu Li looked at the eye of the hurricane. The swamp below was no longer the center of the eye of the hurricane. Before long, the storm will come again.

   looked back, Lu Li, who was about to leave, suddenly thought of something, took a step back, and looked in front of the outstretched arm.

   The vine stubs cover the rotting leaves and dirt. The shoes cut through the debris, and a dull metallic color flashed through the dirt.

  Lu Li bent down to pick up the piece of metal, and the surrounding leaves were moved around, pulling out a gray-silver silver pendant.

   This is a photo pendant, the thumb wipes the dirt of the pendant shell, lifts the lid, and a black and white photo the size of a fingernail emerges.

  Limited by current technology, the photo is very blurry, and there is a line of small characters below it.

  【Edward & Louise】

  The focus of the line of sight dropped from the pendant to the back, and looked at the arm that was sticking out of the tree hole, trying to grab something. Lu Li didn't say anything, he squatted down and put the pendant into the palm of that highly rotten palm.

   "Return the same way."

When    stood up, Lu Li didn't turn his head away from the tree.

  Anna floated behind Lu Li, looking back with a trace of worry, her eyes widened suddenly.

   She saw that the outstretched arm suddenly retracted into the darkness behind the tree hole and disappeared.

  Anna stared blankly and followed Lu Li away from the strange tree. I don't know if it was Anna's illusion, the vitality of the strange tree seemed to be more intense.

  …

  The eye of the hurricane is moving away.

   The drizzle that had stopped for a short time fell again, and a breeze began to rise around.

  The sky turned into a rich and ominous dark red, which plated a layer of blood on the already dark swamp jungle.

  Lu Li calculated the time it took to get to the Swamp Road, and found that in any case, he could not reach the Swamp Road before the storm returned.

   This means that Lu Li has to go back to the wooden house, and possibly even spend the night in the log cabin.

   That's not a good thing.

   In just a few hours during the day, Lu Li encountered frequent strange events. After dark, weirdness is only likely to become more frequent.

   To make matters worse, if the hurricane is gone at that time and there is no severe weather to block it, Lu Li may face even more bizarre dangers.

  The twelfth minute after returning from the original road, a piece of felled stakes and a looming wooden house appeared in front of the jungle.

   They are back.

  Lu Li also thought about his way back at this time.

   "The body is gone!"

The moment    walked out of the jungle, Anna found that the body praying at the door of the wooden house disappeared.

   "Never mind. The storm is coming, and it will be resolved by the hurricane."

   As long as you have an entity, you will be treated equally under natural disasters.

   The rain started to get heavier, and in the gloomy clouds that had covered most of the sky, dense dark purple lightning surged.

  Ana went to the firewood house to carry firewood, and Lu Li suddenly remembered the silhouette of the bird's beak mask that he had briefly touched before. Was she hiding somewhere waiting for the hurricane to pass? It would be absurd if that mighty-looking mysterious guy died in a hurricane.

  The wind blew the hair in front of her forehead, and Anna floated into the wooden house holding the firewood. Lu Li walked to the door, and finally raised his head to stare at the eerie sky that turned dark purple. He watched silently for a few seconds before closing the door tightly.

   "We are in the eye of the hurricane at this time, and the westward hurricane is about to sink us into the depths. I plan to wait until this phase is over, and when the hurricane is outside the hurricane, I will leave the cabin and head to Swamp Road."

   In front of the fire, Lu Li said to Anna.

  Complete the goal, Lu Li didn't plan and didn't want to stay in the Shadow Swamp for one more minute, it was no different from Dancing with Wolves.

   "So before it gets dark, we'll leave."
