Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 413 Three hundred twenty eight. Under the white light

  The surging darkness flows beside him, slowly eating away the faint light of the oil lamp.

   symbolizes that the light of safety is fading a little bit.

   Creepy and malicious whispers echoed in the darkness, peeping at Lu Li under the oil lamp with malice.

   A dozen meters away, a hazy white light poured down, dispelling the darkness like holy light.

   That might be the light that the Swamp Mother prepared for Lu Li.

   It's just... Lu Li looked around at the darkness that surrounded him with real malice, and when he walked there, it was almost the time to announce the existence of "I am here" in the darkness.

The path    entered behind has disappeared, occupied by the ubiquitous darkness.

  The inside and outside of the huge banyan tree seems to be divided into two spaces.

The    oil lamp flickered a few times at this time, and the flame became weaker. It should have enough kerosene to burn for half a day.

   In the dark, Lu Li will die.

  Before the oil lamp went out completely, Lu Li stepped forward and walked towards the hazy white light more than ten meters away.

  The flame in the oil lamp became weaker and weaker under the erosion of darkness, and the light shrank accordingly.

  Call——

   There seems to be a stream of air blowing through.

  The weak flame trapped in the lampshade was instantly extinguished, and the boundless darkness was about to cover Lu Li, but at the same time, Lu Li's figure appeared on the edge of the white light.

  The malicious ones retreated reluctantly, hid in the darkness outside the white light, and waited for an opportunity.

   Lu Li tilted his head and looked behind him, a cautious look in his black eyes.

   He didn't know if they were the product of the Calamity of the Night, or had something to do with this...

   Maybe the latter, because when he fell into darkness for a short time, Lu Li noticed that the darkness here was more impatient than the Calamity of Night... Maybe as long as he was enveloped in darkness for a second, they would eat away his body and soul like an oil lamp.

   Anyway, he is safe for now.

  【You are finally here, I have been here for a long time】

The    whisper sounded slowly, it was not in the mind, but echoed in the light, and it didn't know the source like the light.

  【This is just my memory imprint】

  The Swamp Mother's whisper dispelled Lu Li's plan to speak. He quietly listened to the whisper, Lu Li took out the flashlight and turned it on.

The    beam lit up, but like the oil lamp, it only lit up for a dozen seconds, and it stopped emitting light as if it was broken.

   Turn off the flashlight and put it away again, Lu Li took out the matchbox and struck a match.

  chi——

  The pungent sulphur smell was angry with the green smoke, and the match was still burning steadily. But even if its fire is not swallowed, it is difficult to burn for a dozen seconds or more.

  【The light will illuminate your path, follow it】

   After a slight pause, Lu Li opened the windshield of the oil lamp and brought the match close to the wick.

The    oil lamp did not change, and the matches that were about to burn out also went out.

   No longer checking the oil lamp, Lu Li looked down at his feet.

  The cross-section of the wood shows that he was indeed in the huge banyan tree at this time, and it was so big that the lines on the wood were like steps extending into the distance.

  【Your questions will also be answered in every light, pursue the light, it will bring you to me】

   The last whisper sounded, and calm was restored under the light.

   It seemed to correspond to the end of the whisper, and a new hazy white light slowly lit up in the darkness ten meters away.

   That is where Lu Li will go.

   Although the hazy white light is dim, it will not completely fall into darkness, and Lu Li can go directly to the next white light.

   After a short stop, Lu Li took a step towards the second white light.

   Stepping up the stair-like pattern, Lu Li reached the second spot of white light. Looking back, the first spot of white light was gradually dimming and disappearing, and the new whisper of the Swamp Mother slowly sounded.

  【From a very long time ago, the Mother of the Swamp has been the master of this Shadow Swamp. When the Northern Shadowswamp was unoccupied. Its power is not born of faith, as humans say. It is because it has existed for a long time that human beings believe in it]

  Ten meters away, a third white light lit up, heralding the end of the whispering.

   Lu Li couldn't understand the way the Swamp Mother spread her words, which made him feel something was wrong, but there was no way out.

   And he was there to help the Swamp Mother.

   walked safely to the third white light, and the second white light behind him dimmed, and the whisper of the Swamp Mother continued to sound.

  【It shelters the creatures living in the swamp, and humans also give back: their own beliefs and souls. Until the colonists from the mainland broke into the land. 】

   After listening to the whisper, Lu Li walked straight to the fourth white light. Before the white light disappeared behind him, he looked back and realized that the direction was not straight.

   The direction of his progress is like the stars in the sky, outlining a distorted path.

  【The self-confident human beings brought a belief that they never had before. Although the mother of the swamp could not understand this belief, she accepted it and allowed humans to build towns on the edge of the swamp】

   There is a bottomless gap like an abyss on the road to the fifth white light. If you use the body of a banyan tree to understand it, it should be "annual rings".

   Didn't stay long in front of the abyss, Lu Li jumped over the nearly three-meter-wide ravine and entered the fifth place under the white light.

[But over time, the relationship between humans and the Swamp Mother began to weaken, and they no longer needed to believe in the Swamp Mother in order to survive, especially those hateful exorcists forbid them to do so, forcing the humans who originally lived in the swamp. leave the swamp...]

   Lu Li frowned slightly and walked to the next white light.

  【Fortunately, the mother of the swamp was not born out of faith. The departure of the believers will only make it weak and will not dissipate. At this time, from the deep space, the existence of stars descended a ray of consciousness, telling the mother of the swamp that they are coming, and it can become its servant...]

  Mother of the Swamp, an existence that was left unattended by the exorcist, is actually just a servant?

   What is the existence like stars?

  Luli continued to move forward.

   [Even if there is only one swamp of consciousness, the mother has no idea of ​​resistance. It chooses to become the servant of the starry existence and is ready to accept its power. But at this time, an unexpected guest arrives... that is you... The Swamp Mother is curious and respectful of your origin, you are very weak, but you have their breath...]

   Their breath...

   Lu Li didn't know what the Swamp Mother was referring to.

   Otherworldly atmosphere? Scarlet Swamp? Or the door?

  Lu Li went to the next white light to listen to the truth.

  【What disappointed the Swamp Mother is that you left quickly. And it was also betrayed by itself and sealed in the ground... Until not long ago, you reappeared and chose to cooperate with the betrayers... I finally understand that you are not them... You are just a thief who usurped a tiny hair of Weili ! 】

The    whisper turned into a roar of resentment in an instant, and at the same time, the light that was originally like holy light changed, turning into scarlet like blood.

   Like the blood-red sky outside...
