Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 635 Two hundred and twelve. Conversation

   The storm lasted longer than expected.

   In the early morning of the next day, there was still the whimper of the wind blowing through the fireplace, and the rain curtain outside the cave was pulled into a curtain of water.

  Anna didn't show any strangeness anymore, as if Sarah's shadow had left her. She would urge Lu Li to leave early when there was no one there, even in a storm.

   So before the storm disappeared in the sea, Lu Li and Anna left the cliff top and headed to Shadow Swamp.

  This is not a long journey. Even if the wind and rain blocked the view, Anna had to slow down, and they arrived at the ruins of Shadow Town at noon.

  The swamps under the abundant rain became muddy land, and the bare tree roots were submerged when they dried up.

  The Mother of the Swamp sensed their arrival the moment Anna Lu stepped into the swamp. Behind the dead tree, a shadowy silhouette emerged, standing in the stagnant water to guide the way.

  The stream widened due to the storm and rushed downstream in a turbid rush.

   Once again, I came under the huge banyan tree. The canopy blocked the darkness and only the drizzle fell into the black earth.

  A small wooden hut is built between the roots of the qiujie at the southeast corner of the huge banyan tree, which is vaguely integrated with the roots.

   "Your Excellency Lu Li, Miss Anna." Lilia, who had received the news of Anna's arrival from Lu Li, was waiting for them at the door of the hut.

   There is also the outline of the black robe.

   Stopped in front of the hut, Lu Li said straight to the outline of the black robe: "It's your turn to help us."

   The outline of the black robe seemed to be listening to something, and it sounded from under the black robe to relay the words of the Swamp Mother: "What do you want..."

   "Anna has an extra memory that doesn't belong to her. We heard that the evil **** has the ability to seal and forget memories."

   "I can indeed..." The Swamp Mother replied after a short pause. The outline of the black robe also turned slightly: "Please come with me."

   Lilia followed, and the black-robed silhouette led Lu Li and Anna through the twisted roots to the back of the huge banyan tree.

  The earth cracked and the soil arched.

   An altar-like stone platform seemed to have been squeezed out of the ground not long ago, and fresh black mud was scattered around.

   "Lie down on it... I will seal the memory of the outsider..." The murmurs of men, women and children came from under the black robe.

  Anna stepped forward and lay on the cold and damp stone platform, but she could not feel the slightest bit.

   "Please step back." The black robe silhouette whispered. Lu Li and Lilia took a few steps back.

  Suddenly, a substantial black mist emanated from the cracked soil. They did not spread out, but slowly swam, covering Anna on the stone platform, but was blocked from Anna's soul body.

   "Wraith, don't resist..." The silhouette of the black robe relayed the words of the Swamp Mother.

  Anna didn't answer, just looked at Lu Li.

   "You can trust the mother of the swamp." Lu Li told her.

  Anna believed in Lu Li, so she dissipated her breath and let the black mist cover her figure.

  Although Anna desires a body more than forgetting Sarah's memory.

   But without Sarah's memory, I wouldn't be so eager to have a body, and I wouldn't hurt Lu Li.

  Anna thought and closed her eyes.

   When she opened it again a few seconds later, she was standing in a bedroom covered with velvet blankets, the sun pouring in from the balcony. In addition to the crisp and melodious bird calls, there was also a figure in a long purple dress standing there.

   "You're finally willing to show your face..." Anna's eyes turned cold, like bone-chilling ice. "The dirty rat who hides its head and shows its tail."

   "I never hide, but you keep avoiding me." The figure turned slowly, revealing a stunning cheek and red eyes. "Nice to see you again."

   "I'm the opposite of you, Sarah." Anna walked towards Sarah coldly, even the warm sunlight on the balcony couldn't melt her.

   "That woman is looking for us." Sarah ignored Anna who approached her and looked outside.

   The flowers under the balcony are in full bloom, and the sun is shining with dew.

   The estate is green, but not outside the walls. The twisted and terrifying black mist turned into darkness, nibbling away at this manor little by little.

   "I was looking for you." Anna corrected her.

   "But you brought me back to life." Sara said with a chuckle as if she didn't care about the approaching black mist.

   "What do you want to say."

  Sara lowered her eyes and looked at the flowers under the balcony. The dark fog made them more colorful and beautiful: "I just want to help someone who is more sad and pitiful than I used to be."

   "I never left the one I love." Anna replied indifferently.

   "Do you really think so?" Sarah's tone made Anna a little uncomfortable, she thought of something.

   "Short life endows human beings with complex emotions." Sarah stretched out her white arms, and the singing blue feather bird on the eaves landed on her slender fingers. "But all things decay. Whether it's matter, or consciousness."

  The blue feather bird's agile eyes were covered with yellow turbidity, and it fell stiffly into the withered flowers.

  Anna was silent.

   "Don't you understand yet, or you don't want to understand." Sarah's red eyes stared at Anna. "Sara didn't exist from the beginning. She died with Adam long ago, and I'm just an afterimage talking to you, an obsession, a...you."

   The black fog was getting closer and closer, surrounding the mansion. Anna seemed to be immersed in her words and those red eyes. When she came back to her senses, those eyes were still crimson, but her face changed to her own...

   "Recall the thoughts in the back of your mind... The barren senses, the short-lived experience of the Ellen King City, and therefore the desire for the living born spontaneously." She gently stroked Anna's cheek. "I could have endured the darkness, if I hadn't seen the light..."

   "I didn't take you."

   "It was you who woke me up..."

  The black mist shrouded them together at this moment.

  …

  The black mist on the stone platform quietly dissipated.

  Under the huge banyan tree, a beautiful and white girl lay on the dark and dirty stone platform.

   "Anna?"

   Lu Li asked the girl who was waking up.

"it's me."

  Ana raised her eyes, looked at Lu Li for a few seconds, left the stone platform, and returned to him. Then, as if feeling something, he looked up at the canopy that covered the sky.

  A dark shadow passed by in the air and landed on Lu Li's shoulder, with a bamboo tube tied to its feet.

  Lu Li took out the note brought by the messenger and rolled it up, with only one sentence in it.

  【The ghost prison was maliciously damaged, the warden disappeared, and the prisoners escaped】

   The crow on his shoulder spread his wings and left, Lu Li said to Lilia and the black robe outline: "Thank you for your help, we should leave."

   The inmates of the ghost prison are freed, and the stable pattern of Belfast will become chaotic again.

  There is no harmony between the weird and the weird, not to mention the conspiracy of the pagans who actively destroy the prison.

  Lu Li and Anna left, and Lilia walked to the wooden house.

   "Your Highness Princess, they just have to leave in a hurry." Lilia didn't want Princess Roland to be angry because Lu Li left in a hurry.

   "Lilia..." The Swamp Mother whispered to the old man.

"your Highness."

   "I want to hear stories..."
