Bizarre paints smudged the sky, and swirling ash fell slowly, curling up with echoing whispers.
It's as if old Belfast has fallen back into decline and is even worse than that.
Lu Li stood under the Annie tree and looked at the defense line built on the edge of the camp. The banyan trees guarding the camp at intervals of ten meters were like a real immortal wall.
They surrounded the camp, with the direction of Old Belfast being the key to the defence.
The Mother of the Swamp transformed into Lu Li's eyes, telling him that the first batch of strange beings attracted by the divine fire had arrived.
The distant banyan tree guard responded by waving its branches a few times, making a sound of tearing the air that was lost in prayer.
The first group of weirdos are the most brainless and weak weirdos. They complement each other and are weak because of their lack of intelligence. They are also weak because of their weakness.
"Will evil spirits be attracted?"
"Evil spirits are not interested in divine fire...but you need to be careful of evil spirits and evil gods. The former covets divine fire, and the latter covets believers."
There seems to be no evil god in old Belfast, but no one knows whether it exists in certain forbidden areas, such as the Whirlpool, the Ember Area, and the Shipwreck Area.
The banyan tree guard occasionally waving its roots means that there are always robbers approaching the camp.
Lu Li occasionally cast his gaze towards the grown-up Annie. The carvings on the tree had already reached above his head.
Annie protected Lu Li's growth while preventing her humanity from being coveted by monsters. Although if monsters could sneak into Agate Lake,
Unlike plants that are ripened by human nature, Anna's use of human nature to grow does not consume her potential. She can still continue to grow, instead of withering and withering like a short-lived flower.
The purified land allows Annie to thrive in the sunshine of the Land of Light, even if she exhausts her humanity.
"Need to harvest them..." Swamp Mother whispered.
The weird offensive is not strong now, and the Swamp Mother has time to leave the weird ones for Lu Li to execute.
Lu Li nodded and stepped out from under the Annie tree.
The dizzying voice of prayer became clear again, and Lu Li stepped onto the rippling wooden bridge and left Agate Lake.
Nearer to the Wall of Sighs, the prayers grew fainter, turning into whispers, then falling ashes replaced the murmurs,
There were ash stains with swirling outlines on his shoulders and forehead. Lu Li had no doubt about its pollution, but he would not abandon his trust in the Mother of the Swamp.
His eyes swept over the severed limbs piled up behind the banyan tree guards. The first batch of strange and stragglers had nothing in common with each other, and the strength of most of them was hard to describe.
At least ten trainee exorcists can deal with them if they are prepared.
Lu Li asked the businessman Anthony to bring silver-plated bullets, and along the walls, he freed the dying monsters one after another.
Rhythmic gunshots echoed in the air, occasionally paused as Lu Li fell into death flashback.

The shell casing fell into the soil.
These weird and human natures are sparse, but fortunately there are enough of them.
"Sir, do you need an umbrella?"
Suddenly, a clear, unfamiliar, penetrating and echoing voice of a girl who did not belong to the Mother of the Swamp sounded.
Lu Li paused, and Crown of Thorns also paused.
"I'm on my way..."
The obscure aura suddenly erupted in the distance.
"etc."
Lu Li stopped the approaching Swamp Mother and looked at the source of the sound: "I remember it."
Under the extremely low gray umbrella is a girl's chin and bright red lips.
"Remember? It looks like an evil spirit but it's not an evil spirit..."
"Evil spirits." Lu Li replied.
He had met her in the old days, the girl holding an umbrella.
Evil spirits are weirder and special than others. They are similar to evil spirits, but are not bound by rituals, such as Sarah and Adam.
They are like ghosts that have escaped the control of the other world.
"Can you beat me?"
"I'm not sure..."
"Then don't use it yet."
The mother of the swamp is in the distance, and the fact that the evil spirits did not leave may mean something.
Lu Li answered the girl holding the umbrella's question: "It's not raining."
"But it will stain your clothes just like rain, so I'll give it to you."
It's uncertain what will happen if he refuses, but Lu Li, who has been in contact and passed the ceremony, knows what to do: "Thank you."
"You are welcome."
The girl raised the umbrella slightly, allowing Lu Li to step under it. The strange thing was that her cheeks were not exposed due to the raising of the umbrella, only her red lips and chin were still visible: "Remember, no matter what, never look up."
The edge of the gray umbrella was looming, and you could see inside the umbrella if you raised your eyes slightly. But Lu Li kept the rules in mind, stood under the umbrella, and walked towards Agate Lake.
Compared with the last time he met Lu Li, he was more cautious. After all, he was not even an investigator at that time and would only associate all the strange things he encountered with ghosts. But soon Lu Li took the initiative and said, "I remember you."
"Is this how you always pick up girls?"
Out of the corner of her eye, the girl raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled.
"Many years ago, No. 36, Xingchen Street."
Lu Li usually doesn't remember the address and time, but it happened to be the time when Lu Li went to Hades' detective agency.
"I seem to remember...you are an impressive guest."
"How are you going to solve it..." Swamp Mother asked in her mind.
"The ceremony is related to the "destination". As long as you stand in a place where there is no 'snow', the ceremony will end."
"I will follow you..."
Lu Li and the girl holding an umbrella walked on the road where "snowflakes" were falling, and the Swamp Mother followed them at a distance.
Approaching the shore of Agate Lake peacefully, "Snowflake" was blocked by murmuring prayers.
When Lu Li was about to step out from under the umbrella, dark green slime dripped down onto Lu Li's shoulders.
The girl next to him looked at her with expectation.
"The snow has stopped."
Lu Li did not raise his head to look at the source of the mucus. After saying goodbye, he lowered his head and left under the gray umbrella, walking towards the lakeside without looking back.
"Looking forward to seeing you next time."
The girl holding the umbrella did not bother Lu Li. She held up her skirt and bowed slightly towards Lu Li's back under the umbrella.
"She disappeared."
The Swamp Mother whispers.
Lu Li stopped and looked back, followed only by the true form of the Swamp Mother.
"Where are you going?"
"In this world, or leave this space."
"Did it come with divine fire?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because of the strange attraction to the divine fire..."
The weird episode ended here.
This accident made Lu Li cancel his continued harvesting of humanity. It was not worth taking risks for the thin humanity, and the real offensive of the monsters was about to begin. If a valuable monster appeared, he would have the banyan tree guards wrap around him and send him to the Agate Lake.
What did this remind Lu Li of his mind: "Does the ceremony of becoming a god require sacrifice?"
"Needed, but not necessary... mixed sacrifices will pollute the purity of the sacred fire,"
Lu Li stepped onto the wooden bridge, returned to the island in the middle of the lake, and sat down under the Annie tree.
The banyan tree guards waving their branches in the distance gradually become more frequent, and the good news is that there is no need for the Mother of the Swamp to take action.
There is no movement in the forbidden areas that dominate old Belfast, and their presence forms a natural barrier for the Agate Lake camp to block out some strange things.
Near noon, Swamp Mother told Lu Li that the potential of Twisted Shadow was higher.
"There are still ten minutes left, Philolina's time will exceed mine..."
