20. Rest day

, Bizarre Detective Agency

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.

Because the shadow of the "door" always hangs over me.

It has been seven days since Lu Li returned to the Land of Light, and the dark figure transformed into the "Gate" in the third stage has never appeared. "It" was supposed to appear when Lu Li was waiting a few days ago.

This kind of horror is indescribable because "it" is looking for Lu Li's consciousness or soul, not just his body.

The only good news that can be found out from this is that Lu Li "stayed" in Midnight City for nearly four months, so an equal amount of time will pass before "it" will appear in sight.

But no matter what, because of the existence of the "door", Lu Li was destined not to stay in the same place for a long time. If he stayed in the Land of Light for the rest of his life, he would have to be outside at least half of the time.

Unless the "door" that even the ancients cannot crack will disappear silently one day.

"Okay, when can you practice it?" Swamp Mother agreed to Lu Li's request.

"Tomorrow morning."

"Then take a good rest, Lord. I will take my leave now."

The mother of the swamp stood up gracefully and stepped onto the wooden bridge to leave the island in the middle of the lake.

Two maids were left to clean up the wooden chair that He had not sat on and the coffee cup with only the bottom left.

"Is He like this in private?" Lu Li hadn't returned to the wooden house yet, and his calm eyes fell on the two maids who were busy cleaning up.

"Uh... Lord... not all." The maid jerkily bowed in accordance with the instructions of the Swamp Mother: "Her Royal Highness the Princess will have a private meeting... Not so ancient, before I came here, I heard the Princess... Her Royal Highness reciting those words that she chatted with you.

topic."

As maids of the Swamp Mother, they seemed not to reveal these secrets, but as people of the Land of Light, Lu Li was their lord.

Lu Li nodded lightly and watched the maid who had packed up her parasol and folding table awkwardly leave from the wooden bridge.

It would be great if all alien gods were as accessible as Swamp Mother.

It's a pity that the journey of Swamp Mother to regain her humanity cannot be repeated.

The light seeping through the holes in the clouds gradually dimmed, and evening was approaching.

After looking at the lakeside for a moment, Lu Li returned to the wooden house, closed the windows, and added a few pieces of firewood to the fireplace to prepare for the coming cool night. Before the sun faded, he opened the curtains and sat under the setting sun, jotting down the present on a blank piece of paper after a long absence.

Things to do.

[Looking for Anna: Clue 1: Paradise Valley; Clue 2: The Faith of Shadow Cultists]

[Avoid the third stage "door": when you see it, it can touch you, don't be approached by "it", don't be touched by "it"]

[Related to Midnight City: Looking for survivors, investigating the missing truth, and taking back Midnight City]

[Build the Land of Light: Establish order after the arrival of the sixth batch of residents; migrate more sleepwalkers; migrate the Shadow Swamp; migrate the Shadow Church; migrate the possible remaining residents of Midnight City; move]

The pen tip paused, and Lu Li thought about whether "plant habitat" should be included.

Plant Habitat certainly has ally qualities: the same ones as Swamp Mother and Twisted Figure have known each other since ancient times and have always remained friendly.

It's just that it's not the Linna tree that Lu Li knew that controls the plant habitat, but the "ancestral spirits" that they believe in and that they know little about.

Moreover, the power of the plant habitat and the Agate Lake camp are not equal. Even on the surface where darkness is entrenched, they can still occupy an area. Although if they all migrate to the land of light, they will no longer be weird, but they will still belong to Lu Li or the ancestral spirits at that time.

will also be unknown.

The light spot slanting on the desk outside the window moved slowly. At this time, Lu Li sounded the tree whisperer gifted by the habitat.

Perhaps due caution should be exercised with allies, but he can always trust the cursed title.

[Plant habitats migrate over;]

Lu Li made up for what he left off, and then fell into thinking again.

Although he can trust the habitat that gifted the cursed title, their addition will undoubtedly unbalance the Agate Lake camp.

Swamp Mother and the Twisted Figure get along well because they were once human beings with similar strength. They also had contact with the God of the Deep Sea and the Eternal Dreamer. The Swamp Mother went to visit the Eternal Dreamer the day after her arrival. She praised the Eternal Dreamer.

It can be called infinite knowledge, and the Ever Dreamer also praised the recovery of the mother of the swamp's humanity, which is rare even in billions of years.

Lu Li thought that maybe the Ever Dreamer would have the answer.

After temporarily leaving the wooden house and walking across the wooden bridge in the dusk glow, Lu Li arrived at the Vine Church amid the respectful greetings of the residents after class.

"Has the Ever Dreamer fallen into slumber?"

Lu Li asked the believer wrapped in vines like shackles.

"He asked me to lead you there."

The believer waiting here bowed and led Lu Li into the depths of the church. It remained outside the room, and Lu Li stepped into the room decorated by the Ever Dreamer based on the bedrooms of the old days.

Yongmengzhe leaned on the sofa, his wise eyes hidden in the shadows, but he still looked like a wise man more than an ordinary person. He knew Lu Li was coming, knew his troubles, and knew how to answer:

"The Principality of St. Mark and the Free State are in constant dispute, and the invasion of the Kingdom of Allen quickly united them. When the Westerners who coveted their fertile land got involved, the Kingdom of Allen, the Principality of St. Mark, and the Del people of the Free State put on their ancestral cow hats.

Fight back against the invaders.Sea

The Teman people from the deserted land on the other side of the gorge rushed onto the land. The Del people and the Xiyue people simultaneously started a century-long continuous war and drove the Teman people back to the sea. In the end, the mystery infected the world, and the two continents stopped fighting each other.

War, against a new common enemy."

This is the preface to Chapter 4 of "The Sunken Land", which depicts Lu Li in Midnight City.

And it can indeed solve the problem that Lu Li was thinking about.

"Thanks."

Lu Li didn't stay long and turned around to leave the Vine Church.

Although he can ask more, the Ever Dreamer will not be stingy with answers, but as the Ever Dreamer once said: the future will never change.

Lu Li returned to the cabin in the evening and asked Ander to prepare the third oil painting, which was taken to the plant habitat by businessman Anthony.

He didn't intend to do anything other than that.

Compared to many weirdos, Ability God belongs to the upper echelons of the food chain.

Different gods absorb believers in different ways. When they need to hide themselves, they will bewitch passing beings or use a medium to contact beings, transform them into dependents and servants, and go to the community to spread their faith. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the old days: a person got

An unnamed book that contains the power of a supernatural god. When he read it, the pollution in the branded book twisted him into a believer, and then spread the doctrine.

And when they are wanton, they only need to find a group of ownerless beings, release their own aura, and continue to pollute them enough to twist and transform them into believers.

And in today's land of light, there will be no shortage of ownerless weirdos.

And the last problem: the land of light lacks transportation methods. Counting only the family members of the Shadow Swamp, even if winter comes, Andrea will not be able to complete half of the migration.

Unless the capacity is expanded, such as forming a fleet with Andrea as the core.
