Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 158 Seventy Three. True and False

   This is not the end of the letter.

   On the back of the stationery, below the diary of the little boy and little Rena, there are several lines of additions left by "Anna".

   It's not that there is hidden news to tell Lu Li, but Anna remembered something she forgot to say and added it later.

   This kind of thing is really like Anna's style.

  【I'm not at ease, I know you will definitely come to me...don't. Do you know what I've seen during the hours I've been trapped in the Shadowswamp? Their feast, the face of the Swamp Mother, the wraiths floating in the jungle, hundreds of millions of spider forests, and... and the... Shadow Town residents who sacrificed to the Swamp Mother]

  【They actually believe in the mother of the swamp! I saw them kneeling in the quagmire, their skin cracked, revealing the turquoise **** inside... We were where they told the swamp! 】

  【Shadow Town has fallen, we never escaped from the swamp. If you receive this letter in Shadow Town, please run! 】

  【Escape, escape from the Ellen Peninsula, to a place where the Swamp Mother and her minions cannot find it. 】

  【So, don’t come here】

   All content ends here.

  The scribbled handwriting is linked together, and the urgency and despair in the writer's heart almost overflows the paper.

  Lu Li's eyes stopped for a moment at the last paragraph, then raised his head to look at the bedroom.

  The bedroom was empty, and Anna, who was lying in bed reading a book, was nowhere to be seen.

  He turned his head to the right, and a delicate, translucent cheek poked from behind his shoulder, close at hand.

   "When did you come here?"

  Ana looked around hard to see what Lu Li was doing, but didn't notice that Lu Li's face was only a few centimeters away from her: "What were you looking at when you looked away?"

   Anna, who is curious about everything, is equally curious at this moment. But I don't know if the reason for reading the letter is preconceived... She looks a little strange.

   "A letter signed by you."

  Whoa——

  The letter was shaken by Lu Li, making a light sound.

  Lu Li can think and question, and this kind of thinking and questioning exists all the time. But he won't let that question dominate his will.

   Just like Lu Li's sanity test answer,

   is either left or right, there is no middle.

  When the matter itself cannot be confirmed, the information obtained can only provide reference, not evidence. This is also the reason why Lu Li rarely expresses his opinion on things - if you don't say it, you can't be wrong.

   "Huh? Where is it?" Ana showed a strange surprise, floating up and looking at the desk.

   "Can't you see?" Lu Li frowned slightly and raised his arms.

  Ana looked at Lu Li's fingers in confusion and looked at Lu Li's face: "You don't have anything in your hand..."

  Is it…

  Lu Li thought of a possibility, took a box of matches from the corner of the table, struck it, and placed it under the letter.

   The peculiar smell of sulfur spreads out, and a faint flame emerges from the head of the match.

  The flame was not divided in two, and the paper inside was not blackened and burned.

   An invisible letter.

   A new trick for the "door"...

   "Another letter I can't see?" Anna guessed something.

   "Yeah." Lu Li nodded, meeting Anna's curious eyes. "Remember Little Rena's diary, the letter paper was torn from it."

"Well……"

   Next, Lu Li recounted the contents of the letter.

  Anna hesitated several times, her emotional distance changed, and when Lu Li finished the last sentence, when he looked up, his cheeks flushed and anxiously defended: "This was not written by me! Bah... I am me!"

  Re-fold the letter paper according to the overlapping marks, put it back in the envelope, put it in the innermost drawer, and put it together with the previous letter. Lu Li looked at Anna and said, "I know you are you."

  Ana's gaze touched those deep black eyes, and the unchanging calm infected Anna. Although Lu Li was the same as usual, Anna could see that he believed in herself.

   The restless breath gradually calmed down, and Anna was embarrassed to express her emotion, so she could only whisper in an unhappy voice: "What, the door actually uses such a disgusting move, it's abominable!"

   "But it works."

  Lu Li closed the drawer.

   If it was someone else, no matter whether they believed the content of the letter or not, they would subconsciously prevent Anna from seeing the content of the letter, and would not find out that it was a letter that others could not see.

   The style of the "door" is getting more and more bizarre.

  After the initial panic and Lu Li's trust, Anna returned to her usual personality, backed her body up and uttered a whisper that could be heard by Lu Li.

   "It was discovered, it seems that the plan is ahead of schedule hum hum..."

   "But there's one thing I care about." Lu Li suddenly spoke.

  Ana's attention was easily diverted, and she turned to look suspiciously.

   "Do you remember the last letter?" Lu Li said.

   "Those pictures?"

   "Yes. Although the murderer is not me, the content above is true." Lu Li narrowed his black eyes slightly and tapped the table unconsciously with his knuckles.

   "Apart from you, what is true in this letter..."

  Anna was stunned, recalling the content of the letter described by Lu Li, and a deep feeling of coolness appeared in her heart.

   ding bell bell bell-

   At this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, making Anna tremble.

   "Be careful..." Anna reminded almost subconsciously.

The news that the residents of   Shadowtown are followers of the Swamp Mother is too terrifying.

  Lu Li didn't say anything, grabbed the ringing phone, and put the receiver to his ear.

   He didn't say a word, and a panicked cry for help sounded from the microphone.

   "Help me, save me! It wants to come out! It wants to replace me!"

  …

   Huchi——huchi——huchi——

  Icy, metallic piercing gasps echoed through the swampy woods that had turned into water.

  A black shadow with a strange shape walked through the dead trees. It moved quickly, but it was extremely cumbersome.

   Sombra's face is a crow-like beak. In contrast to the sturdy, tall and towering upper body, Sombra's lower limbs are surprisingly thin, like an adult-sized crow or... one person is carrying another person.

  The two of them were covered with a thick layer of silt, and even if the rain did not stop, it could not bring down the silt.

The dead trees around    are thinning, and they are approaching the edge of Shadowswamp.

   The swamp that submerged the ankles still exists, but it is no longer filled with the swamps that are devoured by people like the depths. In front of the shadowy jungle, human buildings are looming.

The figure on    turned his head to look behind him, and shouted excitedly: "They didn't chase! The Mother of the Swamp can't radiate here, and Shadow Town is in front! We are safe!"

   A cold, hoarse female voice sounded in her ears: "Do you think it is safe to break into the mother of the swamp's house?"

   "Is it true..." The figure on his back was stunned, and then he gritted his teeth: "But we must send that letter as soon as possible, I owe Lu Li."

   After a few seconds of silence, a hoarse voice sounded.

   "Bypass Shadow Town and send letters to other towns."

   After these words fell, the jungle became dead silent again, only the sound of dripping water and heavy breathing echoed.
