Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 995 Sixty-two. Reunited

  Jaeger turned back and confronted the villagers: "What's the matter... Do you want to go back on your words?"

  Margaret raised her illusory palm to stop Jaeger, and said something silently and calmly.

   "Maybe the soul has been out of the body for too long," said Fudot.

   Kiruat examines Margaret's body. Her body was still alive, with faint breathing and heartbeat, but her soul was not there.

   "Can you restore her?" Lu Li asked the villagers.

【we do not know】

  The villagers gathered to answer in words, as if to prove that what they said was true, the power that enveloped Margaret’s body dissipated, and Kiruat caught the collapsed body, signaling Margaret to make contact again.

The    phantom arm still goes through the body, which doesn't work.

   The Holy Light Squad didn't know how to deal with "resurrection", and Kiruat raised his head in a panic: "Her body is dying!"

   Lost dungeon power shrouded, the soulless body is heading for death.

   "You go to the alchemy office to find Professor Chris." Lu Li confirmed through the businessman Anthony that she was there.

   "Margaret is a ghost now... The giant tree won't let her in!" Naxi looked at Margaret in a panic. She was still calm, emitting moonlight-like coldness and fluorescence, as if it was not her who was dying.

  Fodort released a resident worm from her sack, allowing Margaret's soul to temporarily live on it, eluding the giant tree and the gatekeepers.

   "What about you?" Kiruat asked Lu Li, who was not planning to leave.

   "Complete the rest of the collaboration."

   They won't let Lu Li leave until the cooperation is completed.

"be careful."

   The Holy Light team quickly left the dungeon with Margaret's soul and body.

   After the backs of the team members disappeared from the crevices of the rocks, Lu Li asked the businessman Anthony to summon the worms and drilled out a passage leading to the restricted area of ​​the swamp.

  This process is doomed to be long. A few dozen minutes later, the worm vibrated and dug down the wall of a hut and got out of the ground. The dungeon consciousness, which had been reminded, did not reject the worm that appeared.

  The cold air from the outside washed away the turbidity of the dungeon, and the villagers gathered around the side of the tunnel dug by the worms, vaguely seeing the shimmering light from the swamp from the end.

   For closed dungeons, the swamp restricted area is the "outside" and the only way to get to the old sewers.

   There is no doubt that this dungeon is made up of swarm consciousness. Margaret's body also became part of the mass consciousness, but her soul survived for no apparent reason. Maybe the swarm consciousness needs Margaret's wisdom, maybe she has other secrets.

  Lu Li and Dungeon Awareness have completed mutual cooperation. They let Lu Li leave without stopping them. As for whether to stay in the dungeon next, or abandon this dungeon between the giant tree and the swamp and choose to migrate, you need to choose by yourself.

  Lonely Lu Li returned to the entrance and drilled through the gap without looking back. Not long after he went out, the entrance was suddenly closed due to a collapse.

   They have answers.

  …

   knock knock --

  Trunk level, Senior Alchemy Office.

When    Lu Li arrived, Professor Chris prepared the potion in front of the alchemy table.

  Margaret's body was placed in the recliner, surrounded by others and her soul.

   "Want to hear good news or bad news." Kiruat looked at Lu Li.

   "All."

   "The good news is that Margaret can survive, the bad news is that her soul and body have been separated for too long, and it will take a long time to recover... It may not be too late to get enough credits for promotion in less than two months."

   The joy on Kiruat's cheeks shows that bad news is nothing compared to good news.

   What could be more gratifying than being lost and found?

   Land is close to the reclining chair. Margaret's body was lightly scratched from the rock wall, except for the frayed dirty clothes and calloused palms.

   After all, before Lu Li rescued Margaret from the dungeon, her body had been a "village" for more than a month.

   "You destroyed that dungeon?"

   asked Professor Chris, who prepared the potion with a graceful back.

   "No. I opened the swamp tunnel and left, and the dungeon blocked the entrance."

   "It seems that they want to escape the fate of becoming a dungeon, but I'm curious... they didn't expect to bite you."

   Resisting Lu Li's "charm" requires strong restraint - especially for weirdness that is not bound by rules.

   "Perhaps they fear the College of the Giant Tree and the power of the tarot cards at work."

   "Tarot?"

   "The Tarot of Light, the treasure taken out of the dungeon."

   "You are lucky." Professor Chris commented.

   "It's famous?"

   The Tarot of Light is now in the only hand of Fodort who can use it.

   "Earl Hunter's huge bounty has been hanging on the taskbar of the late night city for three years."

The characteristics of    homologues make it difficult to divide by power, just like many weird powers: "So I guess except for the Tarot of Light, the rest are garbage, right?"

   "A few bottles of serial potions that are close to one hundred." Lu Li replied.

  Professor Chris, who had prepared the potion, returned to the reclining chair, and poured the viscous and transparent mucus potion like aloe vera juice into Margaret's pinched mouth.

   No swallowing, the medicine poured into the throat.

   "What is this?" asked Kiruat, whose restraint had faded a little.

"glue."

"Uh……"

   "The glue used to rebond the soul and body together." Professor Chris handed the remaining half cup of the potion to Margaret's soul: "Drink the rest."

   The fluorescent soul of Margaret, who was unable to communicate with the outside world, took the medicine and took it, and lay down on the reclining chair according to Professor Chris's subsequent instructions, overlapping with her body.

   "Close your eyes, imagine that you are trapped in a nightmare, breathe, feel your heartbeat, need to open your eyes to wake up..."

  Professor Chris whispered, they heard a faint heartbeat, their chests began to rise and fall, their eyelashes quivered gently... A pair of unreal, lake-like eyes opened.

  Lu Li asked businessman Anthony to bring a wheelchair.

   Lu Li, who had a similar experience, knew how to avoid out-of-body symptoms.

"Stay still, the glue is taking effect, and then adapt to your regained body." Professor Chris took off the wide-brimmed hat on the coat rack and turned back to say goodbye to Lu Li: "Dear, I still have things to do, with you Remember to help me clean up my office when my team members leave."

  Click——

  The door closed, and the alchemy office fell into an eerie silence.

   Lu Li, who was moving, broke the silence, and he began to clean up the alchemy platform that had become chaotic.

   Kiruat and the others watched, they didn't even dare to help.

"thank you all."

   Margaret's whispers brought a strange situation back to reality, and Kiruat gently stroked her forehead: "You are our companion..."

  Lu Li quickly organized the office. They didn't stay here for a long time. After waiting for Margaret to move slowly, Kiruat picked her up and gently put her on the wheelchair.

   "Let's go home."
