Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 1422 Sixty-four. Forbidden area

   It is not easy to go to the rotten sewers and weird jungles.

  Without the gray mist door, Lu Li could only go to the forbidden area himself.

  Claire suggested to bring her along—someone who has unlocked the forbidden area is needed to guide Lu Li.

  Ophelia was puzzled by Lu Li going to these two places. The two forbidden lands have no consciousness, only instinct, how to help them resist the swamp?

"Idiot Ophelia, because I can't let Lu Li do everything." Claire said deliberately meanly: "If Lu Li has to marry us for the sewers and Midnight City, what's the use of it! We can't always shelter in mother's house under the wings."

   "Lu Li...Mom?"

   "It's okay if you want to call him father."

   "They are not necessarily unconscious."

  Lu Li interrupted the topic they were gradually drifting away from.

   The rotten sewer may be just a dead thing, but the weird dense forest is a plant and has consciousness. Lu Li has a great possibility to make it an ally.

   "But even if the two forbidden lands become allies, it will be difficult to help us defend against the swamp..."

  Like the Eternal Forest, the power it can dispatch is insignificant compared to the Eternal Forest.

   "Not necessarily impossible."

  Lu Li just answered like this.

  Divided into three forbidden areas by Midnight City and the swamp, they always have special features.

  Before heading out, Lu Li concealed his eyes and left his gaze, and came to the dungeon known only to the Land of Light and his true allies.

  Here still fulfills a part of the function of the original construction—detention.

  The souls of Midnight City captured by the undead with true-sight eyes were imprisoned here, and then Lu Li and the wise race Sinan returned their memories.

   Return the memories of this group of seven survivors, including two Giant Tree Academy students and five ordinary residents.

  Claire remembered that there might still be survivors lingering in the rotten sewers and weird jungles.

   "We're bringing them back..."

  Lu Li returned to the castle, pretending that he was still in Midnight City, and quietly left the castle for the nearest rotten sewer.

  …

  Swamps, rotten sewers, and weird dense forests were designated as forbidden areas by Midnight City for their own reasons.

  The swamp is a mystery because it is located underground in Midnight City. The rotten sewer is a strange phenomenon after the town of the gods has sunk. The Weird Forest is as vast as a swamp, and treacherous and treacherous than a swamp—at least until the swamp devoured Midnight City.

   "We're almost there!"

  Claire patted Lu Li's hair as a reminder.

  Looking down at the deep end, Claire's wings pointed to a barren pit, "That's right there."

  Located on the edge of the sunken sand, there are several stone houses, and the outline of the building can be seen faintly at the bottom of the pit.

   "Are we going to go through the rotten sewer rules all over again?"

   "I need it, but you don't need it." Claire's words seemed to contain malice, "You have already won the crown of rotten sewers. To you, the sewers are like your hometown."

   "Then you stay outside and wait for me."

   "No!" Claire refused, "You need my ingenuity."

  Lu Li first explored the stone houses, where there were traces of the Midnight City residents who had been stationed here.

   "When the swamp swallows the night city, someone should be stationed here... Where are they?"

"have no idea."

   Claire proved useless.

  Searching to no avail, Lu Li's attention returned to the rotten sewer itself, sending out dreams and falling into the deep pit.

  As Claire said, Lu Li, who won the "knowledge crown", completely ignored the power covering the filthy sewers, and even his dreams were not completely suppressed, while Claire became confused and couldn't remember who he was.

  Lu Li let her fall into a deep sleep, falling on the street with a dream that could only wrap herself. Lu Li looked at the church that had been crowned in the dream.

  There is no smell in the houses, streets, or churches, or in the entire rotten sewer.

   But when Lu Li was walking along the path outside the church, the shadows of the crooked tombstones around him appeared many silhouettes that could not be seen but could only be perceived.

  Entering the church, those perceptual silhouettes seem to appear in sight, forming clusters of fuzzy shadows standing on both sides of the red carpet.

  Lu Li walked straight past and stopped before the steps leading to the podium.

  Some kind of indescribable power lingered, as if he wanted to tell Lu Li something, but he couldn't hear or understand.

  Claire on top of his head is still sleeping...he should have brought the eldest sister here.

  Just when this idea was born, Lu Li noticed that his thoughts escaped from his body and soul, entangled with the hazy consciousness in front of him.

"a familiar stranger…"

  An understandable consciousness came to mind.

  Familiar with Lu Li's crown of knowledge, unfamiliar with Lu Li who has never been here.

   Lu Li won the crown of knowledge because of the illusion of the night city. Although he did pass the test of the rotten sewer, Midnight City handed over the test and the harvest to Lu Li.

  "The city fell in the middle of the night, and the culprit once again threatened the world. I come to ask for your help."

  Lu Li conveyed what happened with his consciousness.

   After a moment of silence, the consciousness released the emotion of rejection.

   It says it can't get out of the filthy sewers unless he can take it away.

  The answer is no. As one of the three forbidden areas, it exists close to the swamp. The title of curse cannot affect this place, and the Land of Light does not know any existence that can move a small town away.

   But the Rotten Sewer is willing to maintain a friendly relationship with Lu Li who has the crown of knowledge - that's all.

   The rotten sewers cannot be moved, and there is no need for trade. There is no prerequisite for forming an ally.

   It's not like returning in vain, but Lu Li said goodbye to his consciousness, leaving the rotten sewer and returning to the surface.

   After leaving the rotten sewer, Lu Li woke Claire up.

  Claire, who woke up slowly, stared excitedly at the rotten sewer in the deep pit: "Let's go! I'm ready for another adventure!"

"It has ended."

  Lu Li led the dazed Claire away from the rotten sewer.

  The weird dense forest is in the opposite direction, and they have to go back to Midnight City first.

  When Lu Li and Claire saw Midnight City in the distance, they also saw an alchemy tower emitting a radiance like the noon sun.

   "They made it!"

  Claire excitedly ruffled Lu Li's hair, "Did you see that! We can do everything without your help!"

   Lu Li was noncommittal, returned to the castle, and saw the Mother of the Swamp and Ophelia in the garden, descending between them.

  Mother of the Swamp looked at Lu Li gently, "Did it work?"

"half."

   "They refuse to ally, but are ready to help us?"

"exactly the opposite."

   “…they agreed to ally but couldn’t come over.”

  Lu Li nodded, telling the mother of the swamp that he would pick them up after returning from the weird jungle.

   "Can you wait a minute?" Ophelia said at this time, "We need some help."

   "I just boasted to Lu Li!" Claire complained sharply.

  Lu Li remained calm: "What do I need to do?"
