Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1150 Eighty-eight. Underground

   Lu Li looked at the deep place above.

   Carrying oil lamps, they searched for their lost companions along the steps. Strange and bizarre things happened: they didn't see Wenger being blown away by the wind, nor Naveen sneaking into the inner world.

   This bizarre airflow also exists in the inner world.

  If there is no time to grab something, the unknown airflow will at least carry people to the upper layer.

   Along the way they saw broken oil lamps and Wenger's shoes, but no blood.

   There was no small sound from above, as if they disappeared into the wind like cotton wool.

   "I'll go find them..." Naveen took out the lantern.

   "Wait a minute."

  Lu Li temporarily handed the oil lamp to Potter, he and Naveen stepped down the steps in confusion and retreated into the darkness where the light could not shine.

   Potter and Naveen could feel that Lu Li was just below the steps and didn't go far.

   After more than ten seconds, Lu Li's silhouette emerged from the darkness.

   "The Bane of Night has no effect here."

   This means that there may be a higher chance that Wenger is still alive.

   But the above will not be so good. Whether it is Elena, Langer or Wenger, Yodel.

   "Can I go?" Naveen asked again.

   Now the situation is not suitable for separate actions, but Tris and the others are still below.

   "Pay attention to safety, and use a psychic gun to warn you if there is a problem." Lu Li reminded.

  Navien goes up, Lu Li and Potter go down, and join Tris and others below.

   After a few minutes of walking, there was a faint whistling sound below, and a strange flash of dim yellow light appeared at the corner.

  Lu Li and Potter returned to the ground. The dusky wind and sand were raging outside. They didn't see the whirlpool man breaking into the tower, nor did they see Tris, Alan, and Lanner.

   "Tris! Ellen! Lanna!"

   Potter's cries echoed through the Spiral Tower in the style of the Whirlpool.

The    echo gradually faded away, and Potter, who was listening attentively, did not receive any sound other than the echo.

   The ten people who entered the tower are now only Lu Li and Potter.

   "Where did they go?!"

   Having lost too many people, Potter couldn't keep his composure, even with Lu Li by his side.

  Looking at the entrance, strange strong winds and surging cyclones mercilessly erased all traces of them.

   Looking out of the lighthouse, there are only the vortex people gathering on the edge outside the square where they are most likely to avoid.

   They can't disappear mysteriously, and the airflow into the tower should also have a source.

   Lu Li exchanged the fluorite lamp with the lantern in Potter's hand, approached the wall, and carefully looked for any traces that Tris and the others left intentionally or unintentionally.

   He circled to the corner of the stairs behind the steps, and the expected wall was not blocked in front of him: an unknown underground entrance. Narrow spiral stone steps run deep.

   An intuitive mind came to Lu Li's mind: Tris and the others entered the dark hole in front of them.

   Although there is no reason for Tris, Alan, and Lanner to act "alone". At the very least, they should make noise or leave traces to remind them, but this is indeed the most reasonable explanation for the whereabouts of Tris and others and the source of the gust of wind.

   As for the traces, they may have indeed left them, but they were swept away by the strong wind. One can even guess - the wind might be caused by them?

   The dark, ominous opening was not damp, nor was there a strange wind with a strange smell, so they had ignored the entrance hidden at the back of the stairs when they arrived.

   "Let's go down first when they come back."

   Potter put away the fluorite lamp, which was too dark and heavy, and replaced it with an oil lamp.

   "Wait for them."

   They were too separated, and Elena was on it. This piece exists at the bottom of the spiral lighthouse, leading to the unknown underground probably needs the help of her identity——

   Potter fell into an anxious wait, while Lu Li focused his attention on the entrance. There is no doubt that the underground passage is a part of the spiral tower, just like a section of the tower is buried in the ground, and the proof is the "murals" of the whirlpool people continuing on the walls.

   The wait was longer than they thought. Lu Li couldn't find any more details, Potter counted the 167 whirlpool people, and there was no sound coming from the tower.

   Potter suggested that Lu Li make some noise to remind the people above.

  There is nothing like a psychic gun for making noise.

  Lu Li pulled out his psychic gun and headed up the steps to make sure the bullet wouldn't bounce back, but stopped before firing.

   "What's the matter?" Potter asked, covering his ears.

   "Breaking a tower can cause trouble."

   Potter pointed to the outside, Lu Li nodded, walked to the entrance, raised the muzzle and pulled the trigger.

  嘭——

  The silver-plated bullets shot into the sky, and the gunpowder smoke was drawn into the turbulent vortex. The echoing gunshots seemed to ripple as if there were substantial ripples, and they progressed upwards layer by layer.

   At this moment, Potter turned around without warning and rushed into the dark passage.

   Lu Li reached out and put his hand in his stomach quickly enough, but Potter, who seemed to be possessed by a strange body, stumbled and disappeared into the dark corner.

   Ten exorcists, none left.

   Lu Li instantly realized that the tower was leaving everyone alone, and without hesitation, he took the oil lamp and chased after Potter's sound.

   His speed quickly slowed down because Lu Li could no longer hear Potter's sound. He may have gone away, or hibernated on a certain step, or even...

  The oil lamp in his hand illuminates the whirlpool man on the wall.

   Be one of them.

  Anything can happen in the strange vortex.

  Lu Li slowed down, stopped chasing the vanished Potter, and began to focus and think about his surroundings.

The underground area of ​​the spiral tower is not deep. After dozens of steps, the materials of the walls and steps have changed, but the three-dimensional "murals" of the swirl people are too much. The unknown materials absorb light, and the lanterns can only shine like fluorite. A little light and dark.

  Lu Li recalled what happened when he entered the tower. It seemed that every choice, every encounter they made, led to a more dispersed team.

The    steps continued down, and Lu Li continued to descend silently and depressed for more than ten minutes.

  At a certain moment when it was boring and depressing, the sound of footsteps accompanying Lu Li's movement no longer echoed in the depths of this seemingly endless step.

   Continue to step down a dozen steps, and a dark underground world unfolds in front of us——

  Strains of spiral giant toadstools stand on the rolling hills, emitting fluorescence to decorate the underground world. The swirling moss in a sickly green glow that hangs down from the rock wall lends a sense of space. Like swirling fossils from ancient times, the subterranean world is piled up in dizzying, twisted lines. Something in the river bank is viscous and flowing, creating crazy and treacherous waves.

   The illusion that once appeared in my mind really appeared in front of my eyes.

   It is difficult to compare the sight in front of you or the starry sky which is more shocking.

   The vast twinkling stars are far in the deep space, and the twisted underground world is close at hand.

  For no reason, Lu Li recalled that Potter once described the spiral tower as "like a chimney".

  If the cloud cover is the smoke from the chimney, the underground world is the boiler...

  What is fuel?
