Bizarre Detective Agency - Chapter 1416
Chapter 1416 Fifty-eight. Girls Grace Church
The patron saint had a dream.
In the dream, all his devout believers and heroic people were transformed into filthy and rotten abominable forms one by one.
together with him and the world turned into a dim nightmare.
When Meng woke up, the patron saint announced that he would help Lu Li, and if necessary, he would personally visit Midnight City.
A dream brought unexpected success, so Lu Li let them have a dream one after another in the next few **** towns that maintain trade. There is pessimism, there is anger, and without exception, they decided to lend a helping hand—
There is also good news from Midnight City, they have recruited a strange force.
At this time, Lu Li set off to return to Midnight City, filled up his humanity with his soul, put on a black robe, and appeared in the old sewer.
He came to the Maiden’s Grace Church, but there were only empty shacks left, and all the strange and friendly nuns were gone.
According to the merchant, they suddenly disappeared not long ago—about the day before Lu Li returned from the farm.
“Will they notice the danger and run away?” asked Claire who insisted on following.
“possible.”
Lu Li lifted the hood, and the eldest sister’s head, which looked like a second head on her shoulders, came out, occupying the hood and hair with Claire respectively.
Those nuns brought Lu Li not only weird behavior, but also keen perception.
Lu Li walked in the church that had not yet been occupied by weirdness, checked the room, and found a note on a pew in the church.
【Come find us on the third floor~】
“Could it be a trap?”
Lu Li didn’t answer, put on his hood again, and left the Girl’s Grace Church.
After a few months, Lu Li came to the Spiral Hall again.
Here is still prosperous, and the tragic scars caused by the steam profile have long been restored. The only change is that Lu Li is no longer lonely and weak.
Walking up the spiral steps to the third floor, Lu Li quickly learned the location of the Maiden’s Grace Church through questioning—they opened up a dark line.
When Lu Li arrived, the nuns had settled down in the dark and took in many homeless “girls” who needed medical treatment.
The forces allied with the Land of Light have the opportunity to develop rapidly without exception. Girls Grace Church is no exception. From the thirty or so nuns at the beginning to nearly a hundred nuns now, their strength has expanded a lot.
It was the three strange nuns who received Lu Li. The lively and brisk nuns said that they sensed the danger coming, so they left the Midnight City main station. There are many of the same forces evacuating the old sewers.
But there is another problem that cannot be explained.
“Why did you disconnect from the Land of Light?” Claire checked for Lu Li.
The nuns also gave a logical answer: this is the revelation they got from the gods.
The oracle ordered them to leave without informing anyone or contacting anyone.
So the note left on the pew defied the gods—but the nuns didn’t care.
“Why did He let you go?”
“do not know.”
The presence of the nuns’ beliefs did not send down too specific oracles.
Lu Li hoped that the Girls’ Grace Church could help. He thought it would take a lot of words or dreams to make these nuns who left due to the oracle change their minds. But they said yes, and agreed to help the Lightlands lobby the other forces who left.
“Aren’t you afraid that the gods will be angry?” Claire asked.
“He didn’t ask us not to help you.” The nuns answered confidently.
Obviously, their gods have limited restraint on their followers. After all, these nuns are inherently out of character.
The swamp is like death, inescapable. All you can do is beat it.
They don’t want to escape, but they are not capable enough. The three nuns who promised to help Lu Li win allies in the old sewer led Lu Li to leave the church first.
“We like your products very much~”
Led by them, Lu Li went to the next door to the dark line, and visited the neighbor—a shapeless existence formed by aggregation of rough hyphae.
Compared to their appearance, the books held up by them attracted Lu Li’s attention even more.
Among the books belonging to human civilization, stories and biographies are mostly.
No matter what kind of intelligent group, beings composed of stories will also like stories.
The nun led Lu Li deep into the dark line and visited the strange leader of the amorphous hyphae. Lu Li told it: the spreading swamp has awakened, and the king of gnawing ghouls will get involved in the old sewer.
Already aware of the danger and hiding in the third floor, the weirdness certainly knows the crisis, so the focus is on the subsequent invitation: the land of light is ready to fight against the swamp.
The swamp may have potential, but it’s not strong enough to ignore Midnight City and the old sewers.
Otherwise it doesn’t need to set up a conspiracy to lure the ghoul king into the bait.
According to the persuasion of the nuns, the amorphous hyphae weirdly agreed to help—they will let some clansmen help.
Then the second neighbor. These weirdos who had received the favor or convenience of the Land of Light also agreed, but only half of them—they hoped that Lu Li would find their ancestral god, You Entan.
If Lu Li can do it, all of them will help Lu Li.
These seem to be lizard-limbed polyps carrying slate portraits of ancestral gods, vaguely bat-winged polyps with bubble-like ellipsoids floating around.
But Lu Li could tell from their unique outlines that they were continents… Every bubble is a planet.
If the slate inscriptions are true, the people who look like close relatives of worms are descended from the great race above the stars.
This reminded Lu Li that not long ago, he proposed to the Mother of the Swamp whether to try to use dreams to simulate the gaze in the depths of the starry sky, and simply solve the swamp.
Mother of the Swamp didn’t want Lu Li to do this.
“We can remove furniture for heating, but we shouldn’t remove houses…”
It’s just that if it is about to disappear in the severe cold…the preservation of the house is meaningless.
“Can you still perceive him?” Lu Li asked them.
The answer is no. Because they have degenerated into a weak group like slaves.
Finding ancestors for them will take time, and may never be found.
Leaving this group, the Land of Light sent back news-the Ghoul Warlock raised the fire on the Ellen Peninsula.
Compared with the news that the new King of Ghouls will become a resident of the Land of Light, what attracted more attention was the news he revealed later: the ghoul group is dying out at a terrible speed.
“Stop him,” ordered the Swamp Mother, “but don’t make our presence known to the Swamp.”
But here’s the problem: the new ghoul king can’t prevent the demise of his people.
He can only do the same thing as the swamp—absorb the power of the race to support himself.
Land of Light provided help for the new Ghoul King to fight for the swamp. At the same time, Lu Li went to the third strange group.
But his actions came to an abrupt halt.
Arrived unexpectedly due to silence.
