Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1127 Sixty-five. Confused existence

  Lu Li didn't regret missing the shocking battle. He was thoughtful, thinking about whether the bizarre adaptability could be researched and utilized.

  Unfortunately, the surrounding mimetic monsters have long since vanished and disappeared due to the distorted figures. Even if there are some survivors, they don’t know where to flee.

   To prevent the strange news of the hunter **** from coming, they gave up going deep into the dark city and returned to the entrance of the dungeon.

   Then the monsters around who had escaped the disaster suffered a disaster.

  Because the mimetic weirdness doesn't provide a touch of humanity, the twisted figure lands the gain of humanity on the weirdness around the entrance.

   As if the ice-free port of Wiener had poured into the ocean, the turbulent tsunami hit several blocks in the next few minutes, leaving scars and water stains that remained in the cold for more than ten days.

  The Twisted Order with enough harvest retreated into the ground, and at the same time, the unfinished courtyard was silently shrouded in a creeping unknown darkness.

   First Dungeon, Twisted Church.

   Evelyn curled up like a dungeon, in a silent, dark, rock-filled room.

   Waiting for the unknown judgment to come.

   She observed the outstretched palm from time to time, and her cheeks were deeply lost under the fluorite lamp.

  Evelyn doesn't know why she is called weird by the exorcist and the mayor, they were bewitched by the evil god? Or are they correct? But she clearly remembers everything in the past, laughing on the shoulders of her parents, sitting in the same classroom with her friends, witnessing the deaths of her family members, and having a beloved man in despair and loneliness...

   Is all this false and non-existent?

   A layer of mist gradually appeared in Evelyn's eyes. She lifted her dirty sleeves and rubbed them, but found that she couldn't wipe them off. Only shaking her head would make her vision clear——

  A misty silk obscured her vision.

   When Evelyn realized something, the stone door of the closed room slowly opened, and the dim light of the oil lamp spilled into the dark closed room.

  Lu Li, Mother of the Swamp, Twisted Figure and Ophelia are all here.

  The excavation of the fifth dungeon is still a few days away, so there is no need for Luli to purify the farmland for the time being. Thinking that there was still one "mimicking weird" left, they went back to the church.

   "Am I... really weird?"

   The idea that I was human, who had the upper hand, became uncertain again after the appearance of the exorcist.

"Maybe."

   Mistsilk pointed to Evelyn, but it didn't mean she had been replaced by the weird: "We need to do some experiments."

  Evelyn had no choice but to cooperate.

   Twisted the figure to create a pure sea water ball, Evelyn rolled up her sleeves according to Lu Li's request, hesitantly put her arm into the sea water ball.

   "Does it work?"

"I'm not sure."

  The bizarre change of mimetic is because of the threat to survival, it is unknown whether the simple immersion can make Evelyn change.

  Time passed quietly while waiting, Evelyn's arms were still pale and smooth, that is, there was no membrane to connect the fingers into webs, nor gills and fine scales.

   "It will be very painful, but you will not die."

   Evelyn nodded nervously, and the water ball broke away from her arm, wrapping her head in her suddenly widened eyes.

  The Twisted Cultist crawled into the closed room and controlled the struggling Evelyn.

  grunt-

   Evelyn's cry for help turned into painful bubbles that burst on the surface of the water polo. The pain of her lungs filling with seawater made her want to arch her body, and was firmly controlled by the Twisted Cultists—

   After dozens of seconds, her struggles weakened, and the palms of the twisted believers were unable to hang down.

When   Evelyn is about to drown, almost proving she's human, a new twist emerges from the rippling sea ball.

  Due to the immersion, hypoxia and frightened pale cheeks bulged with crescent moons, and fine scales surrounded the fish gills and grew out of the body surface.

   The new gills opened and closed to stir up the water, and Evelyn woke up, realizing what had happened to her.

   Tears welled up in its eye sockets and melted into the sea before flowing.

  …

   City Hall, Mayor's Office.

   "I really am..."

  Wet Evelyn sat on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, her head drooping with her hair stuck down, and the gills on both sides of her cheeks were dormant and clinging to the scales as they returned to the land.

   "Perhaps Mimicry is empowering rather than replacing... oh, I forgot that your death retrospective sees real death."

  The Swamp Mother corrected her mistake and gave birth to a new conjecture: "You saw the death of the Senator, but after killing the Mimic... Does this mean that he is still himself?"

   It sounds incomprehensible, but the translation is: if Lu Li kills the ghost, he will see the death retrospect when the ghost is still alive——

  If the Senator is killed by the Mimic, the dove occupies the magpie's nest, and Lu Li will not see its death retrospect.

   But the paradox is thus formed: Adrian Abel was undoubtedly killed by Mimesis, as witnessed in Death Recall.

  Unfortunately, Lu Li knows very little about death retrospective.

   Unsolved mysteries turn the horror of humans being replaced by the weird into pathos.

   The real Evelyn is dead, but the weirdo who replaced her thinks she is Evelyn.

   Leaving aside the philosophical question of whether Evelyn is Evelyn, for "Evelyn" who inherited all of Evelyn's memories and thoughts, she is like living as a human for thirty years but being told that she is weird.

  The only "good news" is that "Evelyn" has no relatives, and her pain will not be borne by those who love her.

   And the disposal of "Evelyn" is not troublesome, it's just that it thinks differently from Lu Li.

   "You can be free, or become a member of the Land of Light."

"Can I……?"

   It is like hearing an acquittal on death row, raised his head in amazement: "You won't exorcise me...?"

   "Your ability is more useful than you think." Lu Li had no comfort, but only explained the truth.

   And scarce enough.

It can be expected that they won't have the chance to encounter new mimetic monsters for a long time to come - they are almost unrecognizable, only the seawater realm of the Twisting Order can make them visible, but even the entire order can't be in the Wiener. Frozen Harbor is reckless.

  No one knows how many unknowns are hidden in the Weiner Antifreeze Harbor occupied by the weird during the months of human defeat.

   But just in case, Evelynn won't get the freedom of the human inhabitants: she must choose to become a Swamp Mother or a follower of the Twisted Shadow to prove herself harmless.

   "It can become my believer." The Swamp Mother knew what Lu Li wanted to do.

  The Mother of the Swamp can make Evelyn a cultist without letting her be contaminated, and the twisted figure can't control her power finely for the time being,

  Evelyn soon went to the banyan tree to complete the conversion, except for the loyalty to the Swamp Mother in the depths of the brand consciousness, it did not change.

  The Swamp Mother gave it time to say goodbye to former friends and acquaintances, and to calm down the despair of knowing the truth.

   It's not like other freaks. They can think of themselves as human, or they can think of themselves as weird.

  Evelyn doesn't think of herself as human or weird.
