Bizarre Detective Agency

   Lu Li looked down at the swamp below him.

  The elliptical dark yellow world is buried in the black earth, like an embryo, as if it contains life.

   Explore along the edge of the eggshell swamp that wraps both the aboveground Midnight City and the underground Midnight City Terminus. Gazing out into the marshes is like catching glimpses of the trapped creatures inside the yellowish eggshells.

  What do these lives trapped in the swamp represent, the nutrients in the embryo?

   In any case, the oddities who had been unwilling to ally themselves had to face the swamp.

  The film on the outer layer of the swamp blocked communication and also prevented leaving. Lu Li didn't go to confirm whether he could still enter. Because right now he can't do that.

  It is more powerful to stay outside than to rush in.

   “The only thing that can stand against the weird is the weird.”

  Eternal Dreamer's whispers echoed in his ears when he was sitting in front of the window.

   "Go to Dark Star City, you will find the answer there."

  A dungeon built by weirdos and connected to the main line of the old sewer.

  Lu Li passed by there before, and it was still pruning at that time. As for the weird, a few months is enough time for them to dig out a vast underground world.

  Compared to this point, Lu Li realized that the frequency of the Eternal Dreamer's prophecies seemed to become more frequent.

  Because the development is out of his foreknowledge, or is it moving towards a predetermined future?

   That's not a bad ending...

  Black eyes reflected the elliptical world under his feet, Lu Li recalled his question at that time: "What can you tell me in the limited future that you foresee?"

  Compared to being like a tool, Lu Li is more used to thinking.

"When you come to the old sewer, you will be guided by a trace to enter the hotel. The spider weaving the trap will lift the skirt, and the venom of ecstasy will make you lose yourself. When you wake up from the prison, you will meet The last bloodline trapped here. Protect it and **** it to Dark Star City..."

   "So specific?"

   "Because in the future you didn't ask. You will meet it by chance."

  As Lu Li asked about the future, knowing the future, the thread ball called clues would inevitably be disturbed, so Lu Li could only approach it proactively.

  —But the future after revealing the truth is also part of the eternal dreamer's foresight.

   "Will the swamp be resolved?"

   "Yes..." Eternal Dreamer raised his deep, wise, and indifferent eyes to everything, "The swamp will disappear on the earth... This is the final outcome."

  But considering the forward-looking prophecy of the Everdreamer... Dark Star City may not be the solution to the swamp. It is the countless possibilities that extend from it.

  For example, Lu Li's last solution - to simulate the gaze of the vast deep space.

  The swamp is no more mysterious than Prada. Under that star-gathering eye, a ghoul is indistinguishable from an ancient god.

   It is only possible to solve hidden dangers and bring more trouble.

  The owner of that eye is undoubtedly more likely to destroy this fragile world than the swamp.

  Unless everything is irreparable, Lu Li will avoid the simulated gaze.

   "Come back soon."

  On the eve of departure, the merchant brought the urging and concern of the twisted shadow.

   "Not for long."

  …

  As in the fable, the villagers scoffed at the children who yelled "Wolf is coming". When the wolf really appeared, the panicked villagers were in a hurry.

  Lu Li walks in the chaotic sewer mainline. The monsters around are looting, migrating, screaming. In a way, it's no different from the time when people in Belfast were crowded in the harbor and wanted to escape.

   It's just that there are many countercurrent weirdness like Lu Li.

   Weird and scattered—but threats teach them unity.

  Wearing a black robe and walking around the main line, a little later, Lu Li met the trace of the dreamer's prophecy, and guided Lu Li into a simple cave hotel—

  Dense spiders crawled in the dark corners full of cobwebs, ranging from soybeans to the size of fists, and thousands of venomous compound eyes stared at the intruders.

  Lu Li stopped suddenly, letting a group of bean-like spiders swish past first.

  The prophecy described by the Eternal Dreamer seems to be a bit charming, and it lifts the skirt, and it is ecstasy. But it was just the poison floating in the air that made Lu Li lose consciousness. When he woke up, he had already appeared in a dungeon, and saw the "existence" predicted by the eternal dreamer that needed protection.

  A timid, emaciated Inhuman with spider-like limbs and compound eyes.

  He reminded Lu Li of Ida, the spider girl who had been with him for a short time in the illusion of Midnight City.

   "Do you know where to get out of here?"

  Eternal Dreamer didn't tell Lu Li what to do, Lu Li said according to his own rhythm: "If you stay here, you will be killed."

   "I can't get out."

  Spider boy curled up his jointed limbs, hugging his thin body.

   "Tell me how to get out, and I'll take you away."

   Lu Li observed his figure, thinking about what the "last bloodline" predicted by the dreamer represented.

"I have no idea…"

   Weak spider boy knows nothing. Lu Li didn't waste any more time, the dream unfolded, and he led the caught-off-guard Spider Boy out of the prison, appearing somewhere in the main story line.

  Spider Boy was taken aback by Lu Li's strength, followed by the panic of suddenly entering an unfamiliar environment—it stayed in the prison longer than expected.

  This kind of emotion makes it subconsciously bring it out, the only familiar existence, Lu Li.

  Feeling his sleeve being pulled, Lu Li tilted his head slightly, and then carefully moved the "Last Bloodline".

  He sensed a familiar obscure aura from a dark line in front of him.

  Bringing the spider boy who didn't dare to let go of him, Lu Li approached the dark line, brushing his palm against the muddy rock wall.

  The sludge melted and collapsed, and a huge cave stretching over the houses appeared in front of us.

  Lu Li recognized this dungeon where he once intersected—Margaret was trapped here, and she waited for a long, long time until she was rescued again by him.

   This dungeon, which was once between the giant trees and the swamp, migrated here?

   Or is it no coincidence that they met?

  Lu Li's intrusion was discovered by the "villagers". They gathered around and recognized Lu Li.

  No time to explain too much, Lu Li summoned the merchant and said before leaving, "The merchant will come and tell you what happened above."

  …

  The colorful sea of ​​flowers and shrubs are clustered around.

   Lu Li stood between the flower clusters.

   Dreamer, Lighthouse, Tree Whisperer...

  These cursed titles are of little use when facing the swamp.

  These flowers made the spider boy standing next to him recognize Lu Li: "Are you...a human? Are you..."

  Unfortunately, it seems that something is affecting its sanity, making it difficult to maintain thinking, falling into chaotic raving: "Are you my knight?"

"Why do you say that?"

  Spider Boy's temperament has changed, immature and noble: "In human stories, knights will appear to rescue the suffering princess."

"almost."

  Lu Li was noncommittal, because this was indeed what he was doing.

   "I will send you back to Dark Star City."
