Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1171 One hundred and nine. Paradise Valley

  Lu Li seemed to be in delirium, but also seemed to be saved, lying on a cold and hard wooden board, wrapped in low temperature and darkness.

  Indistinct voices of conversation sounded in the surroundings.

   "Is he awake?"

"not yet……"

   "You have to save him..."

   "I know, you think he's real too?"

   "...Exactly the same, you also found..."

   "But...floating from upstream..."

   "When he wakes up..."

  The conversation was intermittent, and when he realized that he was about to pass out, Lu Li dragged himself into a dream.

  Wowla-wowla-

  The waves slapped against the reefs under Wanghai Cliff day and night.

   Lu Li woke up from the dream and lay in the rocking chair under the Annie tree.

   The distant chatter wafts in the wind as the Jimmy siblings build their new home.

   Finding the illusory figure, Lu Li stared at it for a moment and escaped from the dream.

   Lu Li woke up slowly.

  The conversation in the house disappeared at this moment, the unbearable nausea overwhelmed his reason, Lu Li got up and lowered his head to vomit.

   "vomit—"

  The river water wrapped the vomit and fell down with a "crashing", leaving the abdominal cavity with the filth, and his consciousness and perception became much clearer.

  The fur that covers the body locks in the body temperature, the room or cave smells of firewood smoke, and a bonfire burns under the humble fireplace, illuminating the ceiling of the low room.

   "Look at the vomit, he ate what was there, he was real!"

   The female voice sounded, and Lu Li looked over, but still weak, he could only see two silhouettes in the dark.

  Lu Li touched his chest, his clothes disappeared, and the apocalypse book sewn on the inside also disappeared.

   This is the source of his weakness.

   "You're looking for this right?"

The    silhouette is close to the bed, and also enters the firelight range, illusory, skirt, youthful.

   She handed the apocalypse book to Lu Li, and after he took it, she retreated to another silhouette.

   Lu Li was no longer weak, but her obscure aura was wilting.

   "You shouldn't give it so easily..." An old voice sounded.

   "This is the apocalypse book. Lu Li didn't hide its function from me. It's true, and so is he."

   "It's real, he could be fake. Don't forget those things we saw upstream..."

   "But none of them are so real."

   The old voice stopped arguing with her, and emerged from the shadows: "Do you remember me?"

   "Tesla, Remy."

   Lu Li said their names.

  Remi has hardly changed, as a ghost in the form of an evil spirit, she will not change shape as long as she does not lose herself. And Tesla, who had gray hair and a flax coat, couldn't see what he used to look like. The old man he saw upstream would make Lu Li realize that "he will be Tesla in twenty years", but the old man in front of him wouldn't.

   Lu Li can only guess who he is from the way he speaks and stands with Remy.

Tesla said slowly: "We found you from the riverbank, you drifted upstream, right, then you have experienced those false truths, and you are aware of our vigilance... We need time to confirm your identity. And I Guess... you're confirming us too, right?"

  Lu Li nodded lightly: "I will cooperate with you."

   bang bang bang——

The sound of    slammed on the door, be careful to put it outside the door, and Lu Li began to hear quarrels coming from outside.

   "I'll go and explain to them."

  Tesla said to Lu Li and Remy, and walked out.

  The moment the door opened, noise spread into the room.

"kill him!"

   "We don't need strangers!"

   "It will kill us all..."

  Click.

  The door was closed and the house was quiet again, but Lu Li could still hear the conversation outside the door.

   "He's no stranger."

   "It could kill us!"

   "I was also the one who escaped, and I rescued you."

   "But it came from upstream, the land of deceit..."

   "He escaped."

   "We can't keep him, he'll kill us all..."

   This scene of human entanglement outside the house is even more real.

   seems to realize that the people in the house need rest and quiet, Tesla walks away with a quarrel

   "I'm glad you're still alive...and so young." Remi looked at Lu Li gently.

   "You think I'm real?"

   "I'm different from Tesla, he believes in reason, I believe in feeling." Remy came to the campfire, picked up the dried broken shirt and handed it to Lu Li: "I know you are real."

  Lu Li put on his broken shirt and asked, "Is Anna not here?"

   "Sorry...we've lived here for over twenty years...never seen her."

   Lu Li fell silent.

   Paradise Valley is the only clue to find Anna, but she has never been there...

  Remi whispered to Lu Li about the other people who came to Paradise Valley.

  Adan Fuya has passed away, and her brother Jimmy can only live as a strange life without his body. Ampere is still alive, the three children are gone forever, and the sculpture is lost in the eternal forest.

  The truth is often more cruel than the false.

  There are nearly 100 survivors in Paradise Valley, but no more survivors came in over time, and the number dropped to only 83.

  Lu Li was the only one who came in the last ten years, so people were panicking.

  Remi packed up the vomit, and Lu Li saw what was vomited: river water and silt-like filth. Remy said that Lu Li must have eaten in a deceitful place.

   As time passed, when Lu Li was able to walk down the ground, Tesla walked into the house with several middle-aged people and held what they called a "trial meeting".

  Lu Li saw Jimmy and the children outside, they waved hello secretly and stood guard outside the door.

  Lu Li was sitting on the bed, wearing a shirt and wearing the pants that Remy brought over his legs.

   "Why don't you get old." Tesla asked.

   In the eyes of a scrutiny, Lu Li replied: "After I failed to solve the silent time, I got lost in the ground, stayed for twenty-four days, and it has been twenty-four years since I returned to the surface."

  For Tesla, the less credible it is, the more credible it is.

   But others were whispering questioningly.

  Tesla suppressed the hum in the house: "How did you decipher the illusion of the deceitful land?"

   "Some details, and the stray cat in Vigtown."

  Anna won't leave it there.

"what is this."

  Remi handed the stomach bag to Lu Li.

   "The stomach bag, the alchemy product of Midnight City, can hold up to 30 pounds."

"what about this."

  Remi took out the ouroboros again.

   "The Crown of Thorns, the token of the Swamp Mother."

  Tesla and Remy are no strangers to the name.

   "You're giving it back!" Suddenly a middle-aged man stood up and accused Remy.

   "Do you have an opinion?" Remi said coldly.

   The middle-aged man sat down tremblingly and looked at Tesla as if asking for help.

  Tesla ignored his gaze and continued to ask, "What's going on outside?"

   "Darkness shrouded the earth, weird times turned into dark ages, Midnight City was destroyed, Wiener Unfrozen Harbor built a dungeon underground, and Old Belfast became a place of hope, illuminated by the sun." Lu Li said calmly.

"Sunlight?"
