Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 836 One hundred and twenty seven. The land of whirlpools

   "If she's called that."

  The cultists whispered the words of the twisted figure.

"Where is she?"

   "Bring back Elena and I'll tell you where it went."

   "Let's go to the ruins of the library as you said." Katarina suddenly said.

   "I'm sorry about the previous incident."

  The believer bowed his head in apology.

   "Pay first and we'll help you." Katarina said again.

   "Then you will just leave."

  Katerina stopped talking, she really thought so.

   "We are just ordinary people." Lu Li repeated these words again.

   "The Prophet thinks you can."

   Compared to Lu Li and the others, the twisted figure believed in the Eternal Dreamer on the other side of the library.

   "Hopefully he's right."

  Lu Li decided to accept the deal of the twisted figure and asked it about the status of the vortex.

   After the whirlpool church failed to summon their gods twenty-four years ago, the church was destroyed, and the believers were converted or nibbled away, leaving only the whirlpool land with residual twisting power.

   After all, it was influenced by the evil gods, and the ruins of Belfast are big enough, and the land is not worth an inch. The weirdness of the inhabited city has no intention of consuming the power to occupy the twisted earth, and it has always existed.

   As time goes by, some existences with nowhere to go gradually escape into the vortex. Most of them are survivors, a few are weak and weird, and a small number of people who have stepped into the vortex land by accident.

   Such as avoiding danger and chasing prey.

  The remaining evil god's power still distorts the land, and those who step into it will vortex their bodies as they stay longer. When the changes are large enough, the tainted stepper will never be able to leave the Maelstrom again.

   Not only the body, but also the mind is swirling.

  In the early days of the change, those who stepped into the vortex may still want to leave, and they can leave smoothly. However, when the vortexing feature appears, the original vortex field with a diameter of several blocks will become infinite in length and width, exerting the twisting force of the earth so that those who step in can no longer leave, until the vortexing intensifies and assimilated into those who never want to leave. resident.

   In a way, it's a piece of paradise for Belfast ruins. The inhabitants will not leave the vortex to start a war, and there is no strife and slaughter in it, except the twist itself.

   Before Lu Li asked "how to get out of there", two crystal-like pendants that were constantly reorganized, shattered, and folded in half floated out from the contours of the twisted figure, and were brought to Lu Li by the believers.

   "It can protect you from being infected by the power of the Vortex, provided you always carry it."

  Lu Li put away two crystal pendants, there is an obscure power on them, and touching them with his left hand should be able to destroy them.

   "How do I find Elena, is she still alive?"

   "I can feel that my sister is still alive... She has a stronger pendant to protect her from being eroded by power... The pendant will make you sense her. The closer you are to her, the stronger the sense."

   "Why didn't she come out since there was a pendant to protect her?"

"do not know."

  The scene of the whirlpool cannot be seen. A mist that never dissipates hangs there, and no one knows what's inside unless stepped in or destroyed.

   "Why don't you go in by yourself?"

   "The Evil God's power has been eroded deeply. We step into a confrontation that will cause residual power to accelerate the erosion, and only humans will not be affected."

   So the twisted figure only gave two pendants, corresponding to the only two humans, Lu Li and Katerina.

   This also makes it impossible for Purse and his new partner Ophelia to join.

   "What do we need to pay attention to." Lu Li asked.

The    believer replied softly: "The power of the pendant will only last for one day. Hurry up, find Elena and bring her back."

   "Why not give us stronger pendants."

   Katarina frowned, only one day in the countdown made her uneasy. If you stay in the vortex for too long because of some trouble, you may never come out again.

   "That would consume too much origin..."

   After finishing the question, Lu Li and the others left the church to prepare for entering the vortex.

   The distorted figure gradually disappeared, and "Saint Elena" resurfaced on the throne, leaning gently, watching the crowd outside the church gate.

  The members of the Twisted Church will **** Lu Li to the edge of the vortex, and the food and water they carry are enough to last a day.

   "Ophelia, how do you stay sane?"

  Lu Li asked Jiao Nei, and put on a pendant.

   Katarina hesitated to take the remaining pendant, slip it into the pale neck, and hide it under the leather armor.

   She had no reason to let Lu Li go alone.

   "Obsession...knowledge. I love those books..."

   Ophelia's hoarse voice suddenly became excited: "How could you...know my...name...!"

   "I explored the basement in the old days, and you almost found me."

  Lu Li also stuffed pendants into his shirt.

   "You were...the...intruder..." Ophelia still remembered what happened at that time.

   The prophecy of the prophets is an interesting thing.

   He said that Lu Li would meet familiar people here, and it was true. And not just one, but three.

   As for the so-called "not a bad ending", I can only say hope so.

  Phusius and Ophelia will follow Lu Li to the edge of the vortex, and they will still be escorted by the Tentacles.

   Knowing that the Twisted Church is a pan-church, more like a gathering place than a church, Lu Li also knows that it is not a believer of a distorted figure.

   It and some believers with marine life characteristics believe in another existence, accept the protection of the twisted figure, and also spread their beliefs in the gathering place, but it is difficult for them to compete for the twisted figure.

   A team of eight cultists and wraiths escorted them through half the ruins of the city to the vortex that engulfed the Oak Forest and the surrounding blocks.

  Cultists and Physius Ophelia stayed behind, while Lu Li and Katerina stepped into the permeating fog.

  The surging fog lingered around because of the disturbance, and the visibility allowed them to see only a dozen meters around, and as it went deeper, it was compressed to only a few meters.

   From the outside, the fog is not so strong, and Pusius can even distinguish the outline of the whirlpool when he is on the sea cliff.

  Lu Li and Katarina were very close to avoid getting lost in the fog.

   quietly walked for hundreds of meters, the fog gradually dissipated, and they were leaving the surging range of fog.

   The fog around his body became thinner and thinner, and the bluestone road suddenly turned into mud under his feet. After continuing to walk for a while, the mist faded, and the interior of the vortex appeared before him.

Vortex-like vortex clouds hang low in the sky, and the trunks of the surrounding mountains and trees are filled with conch-like lines, overlooking the foot of the mountain, where the houses are connected to each other, forming long houses, entrenched in circles, like a huge vortex on the sea. .

   What they see is like a whirlpool world drawn by an abstract painter or a child who is bored.

   Magnificent, treacherous.
