Chapter 1436 Seventy-eight. The mouth of interrogation.
The howling blizzard takes away the coldness and hope.
But not much.
It's just because Lu Li has long been accustomed to working hard but not getting anything in return.
Lu Li returned along the original path along the steep rock wall that had been smoothed away by the wind and snow. Even ice axes and spikes could not safely return to the gentle foot of the mountain. He stumbled, was caught by an avalanche, and slid down the steep but smooth slope.
The price was Lu Li's multiple bruises and bruises, and...
Unaware of the sudden evil spirit ritual.
"My dear friend, you are still unable to distinguish reality in your false dreams. Look, you are covered with scars and bruises, and you are as embarrassed as a homeless man."
Familiar and close, it sounds like the greetings of a friend. But if you listen carefully, you will find that the voice is difficult to distinguish between male and female, and it does not belong to any known companion.
"Is it worth it? How do you know...that it's all real?"
Lu Li drank the thermostatic potion. Silence was the best way to deal with weirdness, except for uninvited guests.
"Perhaps all your efforts so far are just to recreate the world in your imagination?"
Tick-tick-tick-
The sound of rolling marbles could be heard in the quiet surroundings.
Lu Li saw himself sitting behind the desk in the detective agency, his eyes following the rolling sound on the yellowed ceiling.
Immediately afterwards, a glass ball "Gulu" rolled from the gap under the sofa to "Lu Li"'s feet, and then a sharp cry like a cat meowing or a baby crying sounded outside the window.
At that time, Lu Li stood up, got a kitchen knife from the kitchen, turned on the faucet, and saw a sticky face flowing out of the water.
The reality is that Lu Li retreated to the living room, and nothing happened that night. But what appeared before him was an invisible force dragging Lu Li out of the kitchen, and the kitchen knife fell. The sheets from the bedroom flew out, wrapped around Lu Li's neck, and hung him from the ceiling of the detective agency.
Down.
Squeak—squeak—
The struggling body swayed slightly, and the incontinent excrement ticked along the trouser legs after death. The hour hand of the alarm clock on the desk began to rotate like the second hand, and the figures outside the window were like shuttles, lighting up and darkening. When the neighbors smelled the smell of decay, let
When the landlord opened the door, they saw a body hanging from the ceiling, purple and swollen, and emitting a foul odor that made them vomit in fear.
It was as if a friend was whispering at this moment: "How did you know that you hid at that time?"
Lu Li originally wanted to remain silent, but a certain curse quietly lingered around him - if he refused to answer, he would be swallowed up by the ritual.
It is an evil spirit.
"I later found the real exorcist Hades, bought a psychic gun at a premium, and exorcised the ghosts that night. If I had died the night before, I wouldn't have known what I didn't know."
Lu Li gave it the answer it was waiting for.
"My friend, maybe you are right. But remember the family of three and their pets?"
At No. 103 Oak Street, Lu Li, Anna, and Hades rescued a family of three trapped in the wall. But it was too late. With the help of a golden retriever, they only found the bodies of a family of three leaning together.
The flames started in the study and gradually spread outward.
Then when Lu Li walked towards the door, he suddenly hit the unmoving air.
Outside the mirror, Lu Li silently raised his palm and touched the floor-length mirror that prevented him from returning to reality.
The flames in front of him quietly engulfed everything.
Seals, traces, three corpses nestled together, and Lu Li in the mirror.
"How are you sure that you left the wall at that time?"
Lu Li looked away from Anna who was walking away:
"I later contacted three major organizations and became an investigator. If I had been trapped in the wall that night, I wouldn't have known what I didn't know."
"But it doesn't make sense, right? You learned about the composition of the Exorcist from Hades before..."
Repetitive logic cannot convince evil spirits.
"Because of Anna."
Lu Li looked at the dark street and could no longer see the outline.
"If I wasn't here, she would come find me."
"I am touched by your feelings. But think back to that rainy night, when Jojo asked you to find her brother Oliver, and you agreed to go to Shadow Town to rescue Oliver. You failed, but you succeeded, because you
To do things that are impossible for mortals to do..."
Deep in the giant banyan tree, Lu Li emerged from the shadows, approaching the radiant Mother of the Swamp.
"The terrifying Swamp Mother, even if you get close to her or look at her, hearing her voice will drive you crazy, but you, who are only human, actually defeated the old mother and were safe and sound?"
"Lu Li" knelt down in front of the holy yet evil, ugly yet beautiful half-human, half-insect body of the Mother of the Swamp. Under the breath of the evil god, he gradually transformed into a dark, terrifying descendant with four arms.
"Perhaps there is another possibility? You have gained the friendship of the Swamp Mother, and His reward for friendship is to make you his dependent. And your subsequent experiences and the joining of the Swamp Mother are only brought about by your worship of Him.
Hallucination?"
Lu Li replied calmly: "The Swamp Mother once split into two parts. But whether the Old Mother represents the evil god or Roland represents humanity, they are not the real evil gods."
"Human nature has always surged in his heart, allowing him to stay in the Shadow Swamp and never touch the Shadow Town outside the swamp. And Roland always protected his people until he died due to conspiracy. In the end, he was resurrected because of the people's faith.
He protected his people, and the people protected him.
"I think the Swamp Mother would be pleased to know that you think so. Then, my friend..."
"We all know that there is no resurrection from the dead."
In the silence of the devastated land a few miles away, Lu Li raised his arm, and Anna concentrated her spear. The sad blood red was like a blooming rose, and Lu Li fell backward into the abyss——
"The spear went through your chest. Even the greatest hero and the most powerful warrior could not survive such an injury. Why did you firmly believe that you survived at that time? And strangely came to the twenty-fourth
After the new year?”
"The fact that you never found Anna is proof. Maybe, these are just a dying dream that you can't make up for yourself?"
"On the contrary, I think my awakening was definitely no hallucination." Lu Li shook his head slightly, remembering everything about the underground rock formations still fresh, "Everything I experienced there was like a metaphor. I woke up as if I was born from an embryo, surrounded by the cold
Wrapped in amniotic fluid. They kept me alive, but also prevented me from getting out. When I emerged from the narrow pass and escaped from the cold underground water, it was like I was given a new life..."
"This is the process of human beings from conception to birth, and it is also the process of my return to this world. It took... 24 years."
Lu Li thought it would next ask questions about Midnight City, Himfast, being annihilated by the Alchemy Tower, a trip to hell, and even encountering a curse in the swamp... But no.
"I have no problem, dear friend. You are smart and calm, insist on yourself, move forward, and be unswerving..."
