Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 402 Three hundred seventeen

   "That person may not be my brother, maybe not even exist..."

   In the dark swamp jungle, two figures walked through it, speaking.

   Although there is still a small spark of hope in her heart, her doubts about the Swamp Mother overshadow her belief in Oliver.

  Think about it, even the mysterious Lu Li has difficulties going from Shadow Town to Shadow Swamp, and then to the depths of Shadow Swamp, not to mention Oliver, who is just an ordinary person.

   "I agree, the Swamp Mother is leading you into her lair." Anna's voice sounded in the void.

   Lu Li didn't answer, because the Swamp Mother was whispering slowly.

  【Your companion...is suspicious of our deal...】

   "It's normal to be suspicious."

  Lu Li's voice caused Anna and Jojo to look sideways.

   "You and I are not equal in status, information is not equal, if you want, you can take us into the abyss at any time."

  The Swamp Mother seemed to be thinking, and after a while, there was a whisper: [I don't know if that is the person you are looking for...but he does exist...]

"Um."

  Since it is a transaction, there is naturally one thing that both parties consider equal, which is the transaction itself: Lu Li needs to find Oliver's whereabouts, and the mother of the swamp needs Lu Li to help fight the unknown evil god.

unless……

  The Swamp Mother doesn't need Lu Li's help.

   Approaching the dead tree where Yingchuoren was hiding, looked away and looked forward again, Yingchuoren had already appeared behind another dead tree a dozen meters away.

   After a period of contact, Jojo is no longer afraid of Yingchuo people, this monster, or the servant is like a silent and shy observer, always hiding behind a tree, peeping at them.

   is not just the Yingchuo people leading the way, there are always more Yingchuo people around. They give the Swamp Mother vision and avoid potentially dangerous areas.

   and possibly monitoring them.

   It is not long before the real rainy season, the swamp has become difficult to walk, and the muddy blisters of unknown depth are spread all over the calm silt water. Even if they couldn't fall into the quagmire with Anna's protection, the silt that could not get into their ankles would take away some of their stamina.

  Jojo stepped on the footprints of Lu Li to reduce physical exertion.

   After half an hour or more, Lu Li stopped in front of him.

   Jojo, who followed behind, turned her head to look, and an open space appeared in front of it, and there was a small wooden house shrouded in blood rain.

   "It's here..." Anna's murmur carried memories.

   This is the log cabin where they stayed last time on a stormy day.

   is also the place where the "real" Anna is trapped in the false letters of the "door".

   "Why did you bring me here." Lu Li asked, he didn't think it was a coincidence.

  【There is no swamp around...you've been here...know where to go...】

   Very reasonable explanation.

   Slippery mud replaced the disgusting silt, and they passed the wooden house and pushed open the door of the log house.

  The strong smell of rotten wood wafts out, and the cabin still maintains the appearance they left, no trace, no change...no Anna.

"Let's go."

   After a short stay outside the cabin, Lu Li and the others passed through the open space and continued to go deep into the Shadow Swamp.

   The Yingchuo people who led the way never disappeared from sight. After a while, Qiaoqiao turned back, and there were no open spaces and wooden houses in sight.

  As you go deeper, the twisted and weird dead trees begin to become denser, and the branches that block most of the sky make it dark and hard to see around.

  【The bat is approaching...】The Swamp Mother whispered.

  Lu Li stopped, approached under a dead tree, and reminded Anna and Qiaoqiao: "The Night Demon is nearby."

  Qiao Qiao heard the words, hurriedly squatted beside Lu Li, and looked up at the sky with Anna, who had emerged.

  In the silent swamp jungle with only the faint sound of rain, in the deep space beyond sight, the sound of wings flapping loomed.

   After more than ten seconds, an indistinct black spot appeared at the end of the line of sight and quickly zoomed in.

   This Night Demon was terrifyingly set off by the blood-colored clouds, and it swirled the airflow at a height of 100 meters above the ground, and flew into the depths of the swamp.

   "They just wantonly pass by your territory?"

   Waiting for the Night Demon to disappear from sight, Lu Lei asked.

  【My servant... can't reach the bat...】

   suppression of ground units by air units.

  Fortunately, the real battlefield of the Swamp Mother and the Unknown Evil God is in the Shadow Swamp. The dead trees all over and the banyan trees in the depths reduce the use of Daredevil.

"continue."

  Lu Li left the dead tree and continued to move forward according to his memory.

  The dead tree faded away, and a small clearing appeared before him. Going forward a distance after here, it will be the place where Lu Li's last exploration stopped - the entrance to the strange banyan tree jungle.

   walked out of the jungle and walked between the open spaces, Lu Li's rain boots stepped into a dark silt that was indistinguishable from the surrounding.

  The silt covered the back of his foot and stopped, Lu Li stepped forward with his right foot and stepped into the silt.

   But at this time, the change came to the fore.

   The feet that stopped sinking into the silt seemed to step into quicksand and fell again. The thick silt swallowed up Lu Li's calf and spread to his knees.

  Ana immediately shot, but felt resistance, as if something caught Lu Li's legs under the quagmire.

   The sanity counter didn't sound, and the inspiration didn't sense, but it wasn't pure swamp suction that devoured Lu Li's legs - he could clearly feel that there were countless hands grabbing his ankles and dragging them down.

   "Jojo backed away, Anna attacked the ground."

   Lu Li calmly ordered.

  Anna's transformed transparent spear smashed into the quagmire around Lu Li, and a large void appeared. The next second it closed, the quagmire boiled in agitation, and countless arms stretched out from under the quagmire, extending like a python, grabbing at Anna.

   "Go away!"

  A turbulent airflow erupted all over Anna's body, and the mud hands that came flying flew down, turning into mud droplets and falling like rain, and like living creatures, they converged on their own and flowed toward the swamp.

   At this time, Lu Li quietly listened to the whisper of the Swamp Mother

  【It's "the drowning man's quagmire"...】

   "Servant?"

  The Swamp Mother paused slightly and told Lu Li: [You humans call it... Evil Spirit...]

   "Why are the evil spirits in your territory."

  【It is the resident of the swamp...】

   "Can you make it stop?" Lu Li's knees were engulfed, extending to his thighs, more and more hands grabbed Lu Li under the mud, speeding up the speed at which he was engulfed.

   "Leave him for me!"

  Ana's icy breath leaked out and frantically attacked every part of the quagmire, but what she did was as powerless as throwing a fist at water.

   The scarlet pupils are getting bigger and bigger, and the music in Anna's breath is mixed with the boundless malice permeating the world.

  【I...not now...】

  Lu Li stopped relying on the mother of the swamp, and asked Anna to keep calm. Just before the swamp engulfed her waist, she pulled out the psychic gun and aimed it at the swamp below her.

   Fingers squeezed the trigger, but didn't press it down.

The loud noise of the    psychic gun firing has been transmitted for miles around, and if they fired, they would encounter countless troubles.

   But if you don't do that, Anna will be transformed into a real evil spirit, and Lu Li will also be dragged into the quagmire and drowned.
