Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 408

   Before entering Shadow Town, Jojo thought that only workers and lunatics would speak to metal.

   Now, she understands and agrees with Lu Li's behavior.

   Lu Li's words spread along the corridor and gradually disappeared.

When the    echoing buzzing sound dissipated, Lu Li still didn't get any response.

   is useless...

  Ana's psychic projections and abilities are useless against metal, but now it seems that it can only be tried.

   But before the battle started, Qiaoqiao gently tugged at Lu Li's sleeve and whispered, "The front has become a wall..."

  Lu Li's black eyes fell in front of him, the oil lamp in his eyes blocked his vision, he removed the oil lamp and stared into the depths of the corridor.

  The thick and sticky darkness pushed away, and the walls and corners covered with rust loomed.

   Before that, there was a straight corridor with no end in sight.

   The big ship responded to Lu Li.

  Lu Li tilted his head, Anna nodded lightly at him, and walked to the corner.

  The corridor extends forward, the old gear elevator looks like a rusted cage, and the number plate on the wooden door of the cabin has long been corroded and cannot be seen clearly.

  The cork-like rotten floor, the traces of their footprints remain.

   Keep going and they'll come back to the deck.

   "Let's go."

  Lu Li took a step and walked towards the exit.

  Jojo stopped briefly, looked sadly at the cabin at the end of the corridor where Oliver was for a few seconds, and turned to follow Lu Li who was far away.

  In the wet cabin, the water vapor condensed into water droplets, dripped down, hit the air when it was still some distance from the land, and shattered into spray.

  Jojo felt the slight coolness on her cheeks, she blinked and looked at the deck exit more than ten meters ahead.

  The blood red from the sky fell in front of the stairs.

  Jojo sighed in relief, confirming that the ship with life really let them go.

So……

  Jojo couldn't help but turn her head and looked into the dark depths behind her.

  It was this ship that killed my brother...or what...

Before the blood-red writing on the deck spilled into the cabin corridor, a pair of rain boots with drops of water appeared on the dark edge.

   Carrying the oil lamp, Lu Li walked to the stairs and looked up.

The    change suddenly unfolded at this moment. Amid the unbearable movement noise, the tattered wooden door leading to the deck exit suddenly closed automatically, and the last trace of blood-red light spilled into the corridor disappeared as it was completely closed.

  Anna immediately retreated to Lu Li's side, and opened the guard to accommodate Qiaoqiao.

   She looked up at the top of her head strangely, and whispered, "There are a lot of evil spirit servants approaching..."

"Um."

   At the same time, Lu Li faintly felt that some kind of threat was rapidly approaching.

  The act of the ship sealing the deck seemed to protect them.

  The dark cabin corridor fell silent, only the distant dull sound from the structural changes of the hull reverberated like heavy breathing.

   This uneasy silence didn't last long, just a few minutes later, Anna told Lu Li: "They left, the direction is... deep in the swamp."

  The abnormal behavior of the servants corresponds to the whisper of the Swamp Mother.

   "A servant of the Swamp Mother or an unknown evil god."

   "Their breath makes me very uncomfortable...the unknown evil god."

  Lu Li nodded, looked away from the ship and said, "Thank you for your help."

The sound of    slowly opened from the deck exit, echoing deep.

   This time there was no episode, and they returned to the deck smoothly.

  The sound of the stream became clear again, and the lifeless banyan tree jungle was distributed on both sides.

  Lu Li looked into the distance. The huge canopy of the banyan tree blocked his vision. After a little hesitation, Lu Li let Qiaoqiao stay on the deck. He accompanied Anna to the top deck.

   I didn't intend to explore the captain's room with the door closed, so I went to Luli at the highest point and looked into the depths of the swamp again.

  The dead branches of the canopy are like a lead-grey ocean with waves. At the end of this lifeless ocean, a huge banyan, which can be called a spectacle, stands in the center of the swamp.

   The surrounding banyan trees are as small as saplings compared to it. This huge banyan tree is like the root of all banyan trees. Terrible blood-red lightning is permeating the depths of the clouds above the huge banyan tree.

   There is the center of everything and their next destination, the lair of the Swamp Mother.

  Anna couldn't help exhaling. Ever since she saw the huge banyan tree, a steady stream of oppression began to invade her soul. It was as if she was not looking at an incomparably huge tree, but facing a mysterious evil god.

  Is this the difference between me and the evil god...

  Ann murmured in her heart, followed Lu Li back to the lower deck, and then sent Lu Li and Anna off the big boat and landed in the stream.

   Before leaving, Lu Li did not forget his promise with the big boat, and mentioned again that he would obey the promise to help it.

   The big ship was like a cold dead thing, and there was no response, as if what they had encountered before was just an illusion.

   No one would think that way.

   Lu Li and the others returned to the shore and stopped at a place far enough away from the big boat and far enough away from the banyan tree.

  Yingchuoren appeared out of nowhere and hid in the gap between the banyan trees and jungle more than ten meters away.

  Lu Li looked at Jojo with a low expression, and said calmly, "The next thing has nothing to do with you. I will let Yingchuo people take you away from the shadow swamp and shadow town. If you can, wait for us in Rose town."

  Qiao Qiao was stunned, and it took a long while to realize what Lu Li said. She shook her head and refused, "You helped me, now it's my turn to help you."

   "You can't help me." Lu Li answered directly.

   This is a fact, even Lu Li himself is a drag on Anna to a certain extent.

  Without Lu Li, Ana would not be too troublesome to sneak into the center of the swamp. But without Lu Li, there was absolutely no need for Anna to sneak in there.

   "Well, actually I don't know where to go..." Jojo squatted down and hugged her knees, unable to escape from the sadness of her brother's death, and complaining about her uselessness.

   She couldn't even take her brother's body with her.

   "I don't want to leave with the monster... let me follow you, if I am in danger, leave me alone..."

   Losing the most important person in his life, Jojo seems to have also lost hope for life.

   Now she can face any horror.

   "If you don't want to leave, just follow." Lu Li, who didn't know what to call comfort, said in a calm tone. "Eat some food to replenish energy, then head to the huge banyan tree."

   Qiaoqiao didn't feel hungry or thirsty, but he still ate the jerky as Lu Li said and drank half of the water in the kettle.

   After a short rest, Anna looked around. The silent banyan tree, the noisy stream, and the big boat across, finally fell on Lu Li, who was eating quietly.

   "You said you were going to send it where it should go."

   She asked Lu Li, and looked at the cruise ship dozens of meters away in the stream with him.

"where is it?"

  Lu Li swallowed the last mouthful of jerky, mixed with the ice water in the kettle, and answered Anna: "The whale should be in the sea."

  Ana's scarlet eyes reflected the outline of the big ship, and whispered.

   "Whale..."
