Bizarre Detective Agency - Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440 Eighty-two. Four evil spirits

An inexplicable visit from the sleeping forest.

Walking on the dark, corrupt soil, the terrifying giant trees standing around are like a dungeon iron cage, imprisoning indescribable terrifying existences.

Lu Li who stepped into it was like an ant crawling into a dungeon, actively approaching the dark shadow locked in the depths of the cage.

【The strange dense forest is like a dungeon, and I am now close to the prison of this dungeon】

Lu Li wrote down his conjectures in the diary and moved on.

And when Lu Li passed through the dark curtain and reached the depths of the strange dense forest that the Night City had never set foot in, he saw a giant city towering in the forest.

They are not as deep into the clouds as the terrifying giant trees, but the dilapidated grand buildings have another shocking beauty.

Before approaching the stretch of giant houses, a giant skeleton was buried in front. Its ribs are like arches, its skull is like a palace, and its arm bones inserted obliquely into the soil are like a ladder to the sky.

This skeleton, hung with tattered cloth, is unmistakably human.

Lu Li stared at the hollow eye sockets of the skeleton, everything around him suddenly came to life in his eyes, the dense branches covering the sky squirmed and stretched towards the ground. The scale between the extended skeleton and the giant city rapidly shortened in front of him, and finally, a dilapidated village in a dark forest appeared, with skeletons at his feet.

The black eyes gradually regained focus, and the fallen branches, tiny bones, and dilapidated villages once again turned into terrifying giant trees, huge bones, and giant cities.

【The strange dense forest is just an ordinary forest and a village, but some kind of mighty power has completely changed the place and magnified it hundreds of times. 】

Lu Li continued to move forward, stepping into the skeleton that should have been easy to step over, turned over the spine buried in the mud, stepped out of the chest cavity, and approached the giant city in front of him like an ant.

The gaps in the broken stone road turned into gullies that needed to be jumped over, and the accumulated fine gravel turned into a piece of gravel next door, and the hundreds of meters high wall was like a steep cliff.

The village was so vast that Lu Li did not reach the depths until evening, and had to spend the night belonging to a small life in the crevices and ravines of the stone plain at the foot of the huge wall.

In the darkness of the weird dense forest where day and night could not be distinguished, Lu Li, who had rested all night, woke up from his sleep, ate some food, and continued on his way with the oil lamp.

【Deep in the weird dense forest, there is a huge city. The houses here are as high as mountains, and the corpses are like low hills…]

Snapped-

Close the diary, Lu Li put away the empty can, finished the rest, and continued to advance in the enlarged village.

Finally, a new change emerged at the end of the vast street—on the huge square like a plain, countless corpses were piled up, forming a mountain of bones.

In the center of the Skeleton Mountains, there is an open space that has not been changed by the weird jungle.

In the weird and uncoordinated open space of the square, several silhouettes were scattered, shrouded in the shadow of bones.

【I saw the main body of the evil spirit… four. They seem to be against each other. 】

Lu Li raised the oil lamp, and a hazy halo spread forward.

Those are four silhouettes of different shapes—

A figure was shackled in front of the gallows, kneeling on the ground, and the terrifying instruments of torture pierced his body everywhere.

A figure fell under the dirty rope of the gallows, the skirt was stained with blood, and the head rolled on the edge of the platform.

A figure stood in front of the gallows, a grin like a crescent appeared on his face.

Finally, the bard-like recorder stood on the edge, recording the scene in front of him with compassion.

The frozen scene in front of Lu Li’s eyes is like an impasto oil painting painted by a maniac.

Lu Li, who had dealt with evil spirits before, could recognize them as the main body of evil spirits.

【I’m not sure if I fell into their ritual, so far nothing unusual has happened. 】

Lu Li looked at the square that seemed frozen in time, and continued writing.

【The formation of the strange dense forest should be related to them. The four evil spirit bodies… In any case, this is a good opportunity to eliminate them. 】

Unable to identify the identities of these four evil spirits, Lu Li opened his stomach bag, took all the protective potions prepared for him by the Alchemy Academy, including sequence potions and potions with significant side effects, held up the oil lamp, and stepped into the square.

Lu Li’s intrusion disturbed the dead silence like a relief, and there seemed to be some subtle changes in the stagnant square.

The smirk on the figure’s face became more ferocious, resembling a distorted moon—

Sad weeping and whimpering sounded at this moment, and cloudy teardrops covered with dust gushed out from the falling head of the woman.

The sound of crying made the instruments of torture that were pierced through the figure shake and collide.

There was a soft sigh, and the rustling sound of writing came from the troubadour.

The four evil spirits restrain each other.

Lu Li watched the changes brought about by his arrival, and recognized two evil spirits:

The grinning figure, the night of horror. A decapitated woman, a headless spirit.

Has nothing to do with hatred, the horror night that once attacked the land of light is more threatening than unknown evil spirits and headless spirits—

Approaching the night of horror, the grim smile on that face gradually split, and was suppressed by the sound of cries and the swaying of torture tools.

Lu Li stretched out his left hand and grabbed its neck.

The ritual was suppressed and the body was controlled. This evil spirit was weaker than the ghost. In a few seconds, Lu Li broke into the death flashback of the night of horror: the man impaled on the torture instrument kneeled in front of the gallows, and the falling woman was cut off by the noose. , a grinning grin appeared on the face of Horror Night—

Death backtracking ends abruptly.

Humanity surged in, and the body of Horror Night was reduced to ashes.

Lu Li then walked towards the headless spirit, and the sound of the torture instrument shaking was heard again until he walked towards the headless spirit.

The headless corpse sobbed, and the shaking of the torture equipment seemed to be soft comfort.

Lu Li picked up the woman’s head and put it back on her shoulder. A crystal clear teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye, reflecting her falling from the sky, spinning around, from life to death.

Then there is the outline of being pierced by torture instruments. He didn’t struggle, letting the power of redemption set him free.

Lu Li saw the falling woman’s neck was torn off by the rope, and the grim smile of the frightening night stagnated with the surrounding villagers, and the death retrospective ended.

Finally, Lu Li walked towards the bard who might have witnessed the truth.

Lu Li thought that the troubadour who was behind the scenes would resist, but nothing happened. The evil spirit let Lu Li touch it, and saw everything he saw—

When Lu Li opened his eyes, he was standing in a dilapidated village surrounded by low forests. The square was surrounded by the skeletons of the villagers, and there was nothing around the scattered gallows.

The weird dense forest has been restored to a normal forest.

When the evil spirit passes away, the forest consciousness that imprisoned it no longer exists.

Lu Li opened the diary and wrote down the names of the three evil spirits, Night of Horror, Headless Spirit, and Misery. There is also a newly discovered evil spirit, Diary of War. Then, write the ending to this short and fantastic experience.

【I found the real culprit that caused everything to happen—a scale dripping with blood, like a newly peeled off scale. 】
