Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 686 Two hundred sixty-three. Companions buried in ice and silence

   Ai Min, who was always paying attention to Lu Li, suddenly grabbed his palm.

"Everything is not real." Amin grabbed Lu Li's hand and left the water, and said seriously: "No matter what you see, hear... monsters, and what you see can't be here."

  Lu Li remained silent and looked back at the lake. The beautiful faces underwater have disappeared, leaving only the group of first-dead demons wandering in the clear lake water.

   calmed down his emotions, Lu Li grabbed the paddle and rowed.

   "It's not me, your death has nothing to do with me..."

On the wooden boat, the woman who had found the first-death demon who had disappeared at the bottom of the lake kept retreating in horror, tripped over the side of the boat, fell into the lake, and was wrapped by the first-death demon and dragged into the deep water in a blink of an eye.

   Apart from Lu Li and Ai Min, there were three passengers left on the wooden boat.

   But they were already haunted by illusions, screaming in confusion, ready to jump into the water.

   or attack other people.

  A middle-aged man suddenly pulled out a dagger from his bag and swung it forward as if he had seen a terrifying sight—his wife was sitting there. The woman in the patched floral dress had her throat slit, clutching her **** throat and making a gurgling sound as she plunged into the lake in pain.

   "Go away! You monsters, stay away from my wife!"

   The middle-aged man seemed to be protecting someone behind his body, and continued to wield a sharp, blood-stained dagger, threatening enemies who did not exist in front of him.

   "Stand there and don't move! Please...don't jump...no!!!"

   Another old prayer sounded. Another old man threw away his crutches and threw himself overboard—

   The sound of falling water sounded, the lake was rippling with waves, and the face of the sinking old man was suddenly relieved and relaxed, as if he had seen something, and he was allowed to be dragged into the bottom of the lake by the first-death demon.

   Now there is only a middle-aged man on the wooden boat who killed his wife, but thought he was protecting his wife.

   "No! Catherine!!!"

  The wooden boat shook violently, and there were ripples of tremors on the side of the boat. The man suddenly let out a heart-piercing scream, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared and stabbed the dagger at the bow of the boat.

  Poof——

   There was an indiscernible thud, then a brief fight, and finally a splash of water.

  Lu Li wanted to turn his head, but was stopped by a soft blood-stained palm.

   "It's all settled, there are only the two of us left on the boat... Concentrate on rowing, don't worry, don't think about it, you have the oar in your hand, and you haven't lost your way." Emin's breathless voice sounded behind him.

  Everything in front of your eyes may be fake, everything in your ears may be fake, and everything you feel may be fake.

   Maybe Lu Li was spinning on the lake, maybe he was the only one left on the wooden boat, maybe he had touched the palm of "Anna" under the lake and was sinking to the bottom of the lake.

  Anything can happen, so being overly suspicious and cautious may actually kill you at this point.

  Lu Li nodded silently and continued to row towards the other side.

   "Aren't you affected by the First Death Demon?" he asked.

   Out of the corner of the eye, he could still see the swarms of silhouettes lingering beside the boat.

"The ability inherited from my family's bloodline, we are born psychics." Ai Min, who came from the exorcist family of the Lord's Dependent Continent, calmed down and said slowly: "The bloodline power from my ancestors has made my perception better. Sharp, able to distinguish illusion from reality.”

   "They will turn what you think into an illusion. The more you think about it, the more real it becomes. It's like a prey caught in a cobweb, the more you struggle. So let go of your thoughts and try not to imagine and think."

"I see."

   Lu Li did the same.

   may be the benefit of high humanity, the illusion that invades Lu Li is always weak. Like Anna's clear cheeks and whispers only this time, after that, only faint voices that did not belong to this world entangled him.

   Lu Li could easily distinguish them, so he was no longer affected by the first death demon.

   The screams in the air of Jingjing Lake became less and less.

   The first dead demons have not dispersed, but the passenger boatmen on other ferry boats have disappeared.

   On the distant shore were crowds of frightened people whose voices could not be heard here.

   Silence re-occupies this mirror-quiet lake. Except for the sound of the oars churning the lake, there was only breathing on the wooden boat.

  Learn from his own breathing.

   No Emin.

   Lu Li's paddling hands paused slightly, and after rowing the paddle again, he looked back.

   Emin sat behind him and tilted his head to look at the world's Back Ridge Mountains in the distance, which seemed to be somewhat beautiful. It's just that a fully submerged dagger was inserted into the chest of her black cloak, and the blood stained the cloth, making it difficult to distinguish the color.

   "Emin?"

   Lu Li's palm pressed against the holster.

   "What's the matter, Mr. Lu Li." Amin retracted his gaze and looked at Lu Li with a question.

"You are hurt."

   "Did you see anything?"

  Aimin lowered his head with Lu Li's gaze, touched his chest, and stroked his palms near the wound, his fingertips stained with blood. but she

   As if he could not see the wound or feel the pain, he raised his head and said helplessly, "I'm fine. Mr. Lu Li, you must be thinking that something happened to me, right?"

"Um."

   Lu Li did have this thought: "But now I realize it's an illusion, but it still exists."

   Ai Min was slightly startled, looked down at his chest again, reached out to touch, and murmured, "Is it me in the illusion, or you in the illusion..."

  Lu Li cannot be determined.

   It's like he can't tell if Emin's injury is an illusion or real.

   Or Emin herself is her own illusion, maybe she fell into the Lake of Light Mirrors long before that.

  The truth and the false are entangled by the first death demon and cannot be resolved.

  Lu Li picked up the holster, hoping that the psychic gun could help unravel the truth and falsity of the Chancheng line.

   He had been avoiding psychic guns before. Because when Lu Li senses them, they can also sense Lu Li.

"Be careful!"

   At this moment, Ai Min suddenly looked behind Lu Li and warned in a panic.

   There was a sound of splashing water behind him, but before Lu Li could turn around, the back of his head was hit hard and his consciousness fell out of his body.

   Lu Li collapsed in the cabin, his face against the wet side of the boat. Before falling into a coma, his unclosed eyes let him dimly see what was happening in front of him.

   "No...go away...you monster..."

   Emin was just as if seeing a terrifying sight, with a look of horror on his cheeks, he retreated, and tripped over the side of the ship.

The moment    fell into the lake, there was still panic on her delicate face, and then everything disappeared and the sound of water splashed.

  Lu Li's consciousness also sank into the depths.

  The wooden boat, which was shaking violently, returned to calm over time. The outline under the lake surface gradually dived back to the bottom of the lake, and only a few empty wooden boats were left floating silently on the clear light mirror lake.

   One of the wooden boats carries a crouching figure, drifting to the other side like a cradle.
