Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 993 Sixty. World Tour

  【Dear, if you fail unfortunately, try asking the gatekeeper to advance to the trial. If they say yes, you will have an extra chance]

   Remembering Professor Chris's tip, Lu Li asked the gatekeeper who had not left: "Can I apply for a promotion to the trial after failing the trial."

   "Proceed to the trial, the task is difficult for senior grades, you can't contact anyone and use any help." The gatekeeper replied.

   There is no penalty for failure, except the failure itself.

  Lu Li chose to accept the promotion trial, and stayed in the corridor to wait for the gatekeeper to go to the senior grade mission hall to pick up the mission.

   It's just that Lu Li doesn't seem to have a lot of luck - the senior difficulty task randomly selected by the gatekeeper is: [Acquire a treasure in a dungeon]

  【Dark Interlayer】

  【You don't need to know the reason...must be written? Well, a trial from my family, I'm too lazy to waste time looking for dungeons. Get it back, then get my friendship, it's that simple]

  【Mission: Retrieve treasures from any dungeon】

  【Advanced: No need】

  【Hint: Find the treasure and bring it back to me】

  [Basic reward: 8 credits; 8 team points]

   Coincidentally, Lu Li knew of a dungeon.

   Because there is no penalty for advancing to the trial, failure will not extend the cooldown period again.

   Lu Li checked the existing serial medicine in the stomach bag.

After the    esoteric confrontation, she returned all the potions given to Kiruat. This includes an additional copy of Sequence No. 19, Sequence No. 34, Sequence No. 39, and Sequence Medicine after No. 50.

  Unable to break into the dungeon head-on, the No. 39 Sequence Potion, Silent Forest has proved a failure. Even if it could, Lu Li still had to consider whether it could hide his humanity.

   The 19th Sequence Potion, the Latent Image Potion should be able to help sneak into the dungeon.

   is just a lack of verification - if only in terms of value, Dungeon Treasures are almost equal to Sequence 19 - maybe less.

   So no one does that, even if the bloodline family heirs and the sect are chosen. In other words, if even the 6th-level trial requires the assistance of expensive sequence medicines, then the descendants and the divine selection have no cultivation value.

   Anyway, Lu Li chose to advance to the trial because of the 19th serial potion and the protection of the gatekeeper.

  If it fails, Lu Li can only wait for the two-week cool-down period to end.

  Arrived at the dark interlayer through the tree hole elevator, followed the route in memory to find the entrance of the dungeon, the cracks in the rock wall maintained the camouflage when they left, Lu Li moved the rocks and peeked in through the cracks.

  The fire was burning dimly in the cave, reflecting the shadowy building outlines and numb figures. This closed dungeon still exists.

   Continue to move the crevice rock until you can drill sideways.

   Because Lu Li will sneak into the dungeon, the gatekeeper will stay at the entrance, which is relatively dangerous.

  If Lu Li was discovered by a strange dungeon, they would not have time to rush to protect him.

   Holding the No. 19 serial potion, he walked sideways through the gap, and entered the dungeon Lu Li took the potion.

   is like a grotesque dream, the color fades before the eyes, the sound is blocked, the world becomes dark, the air stops flowing, the shadows cover the whole body - and there is a faint light.

   This is the inner world layer, more specifically, the first inner world discovered by human beings, the reflection of the real world, the inner world layer belonging to the ghost.

  Lu Li observes the shimmering light emitted from the surface of the body, it is being consumed, this is the free time he has.

   Release the empty bottle in his hand, the empty bottle loses its shimmering protection, fades its color in an instant, and merges with the bleak and dark world. In other words, it leaves the inner world and returns to the real world.

  Looking into the distance of the underground city, the mottled colors are mixed together. The dark cave is frozen by time.

   They didn't seem to find Lu Li.

  When Lu Li stepped into the village from the entrance, the twisted and moving phantom still passed by numbly as usual.

   Observing the much shallower light on the surface of the body, Lu Li accelerated his speed and approached the core of the dungeon——

  Land walks in a world that belongs to ghosts. Everything here is in line with the description in the book, in line with the dead world that Anna described to him.

  If all the life in the real world is a little short for a moment, the scenery in the next few decades may be the same as the inner world.

  Black, white and gray are eternal tones, and the dark world is silent, which makes the sense of land and distance weak. When he discovered that he was exposed, the distorted and moving phantoms had gathered behind him, and the villagers from afar were coming one after another——

  This is a dungeon, and the owner of this place should have discovered the "ghost" who broke into the territory.

   They are like nightmares, twisted together to make the most terrifying things. As projections of the real world, their outlines are also reflected into the inner world layer.

   But they just follow and do nothing else.

   Maybe because of an illusion—

   After all, based on human nature, Lu Li would not be much inferior to Evil Spirit. The owner of this place may be afraid of Lu Li, and may want to contact him. But Lu Li, who wasn't a real ghost, couldn't sense it.

   Ignoring and taking advantage of the dungeon lord's "goodwill", Lu Li accelerated to approach the core of the dungeon. The village houses and villagers have faded away layer by layer, and the shimmering light has resisted the corrosion of the inner world, and there is not much left.

   At the same time, the last piece of gray building got out of the way, and in front of the clear dirt road, Lu Li saw the core of the dungeon where the treasures were placed.

   There stands an altar-like prominent bluestone platform.

   There is also a silver-haired girl who rests her chin on the edge of the stone platform and thinks quietly and alone.

  The intrusion of the uninvited guest made the silver-haired girl stop thinking, her eyes fell to Lu Li who was running, and the shimmering light around him.

   looked at each other for a short while, the silver-haired girl grabbed the dark treasure placed beside her and threw it at Lu Li.

   Lu Li stretched out his hand to take it, and the moment his fingertips touched, the dim light that enveloped his body disappeared, and the world disappeared together with Lu Li—

  Color and sound return to the world, footsteps and the crackling of torches are heard, and the place is surrounded by strange villagers who are hideous and numb.

   Lu Li stretched out his hand into his stomach, and two silhouettes suddenly emerged from the shadows, surrounded by strange prayers.

   Villagers wrapped in pitcher plants no longer continue to approach.

   The gatekeeper surrounded by obscure prayers stared at Lu Li: "Lu Li, your promotion mission—"

   "Success."

  Lu Li said calmly, a clay pot sitting quietly in the palm of his hand.

   looked up at the core of the dungeon, the stone platform was empty.

The    confrontation lasted for a short while, the riots caused by the numb villagers gradually subsided, and they retreated one after another, revealing a passage to the outside world. It was as if an invisible force manipulated them, allowing Lu Li, who had obtained the treasure, to leave.

   Considering that the treasure was left in the dungeon by the Giant Tree Academy, is this the acquiescence of the dungeon lords to take the treasure for their own protection?

   But until Lu Li left the dungeon range through the gap, the imaginary lord still did not communicate with them.

   Standing outside the rock formation, Lu Li stared at the cave in the narrow gap.

   Compared with the lord who let them go, a bigger doubt emerged in Lu Li's heart.

   Reminisce about diving into a dungeon. Was what he saw in Margaret's soul, or in the form of a dungeon lord?

   Is Margaret still alive?
