Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1175 One Hundred Thirteen. Confluence

   At the edge of the Eternal Forest, the merchant Anthony appeared with a call.

   "Do they have eyeballs, can they sense the location?"

   Merchant Anthony shook his head.

  Luni looked into the depths of the forest where the slender river flows, did they have an accident...

   asked the merchant to bring Andrea, and Lu Li returned upstream alone.

   After dozens of minutes, he arrived at the upstream branch, and the mark still existed: the agreed twenty-one fluorescent fruits formed a spire, clear and eye-catching.

  Lu Li approached the mark and noticed that there were moving traces around the minaret mark - a line stretched like the winding mud marks left by many snakes, and Lu Li followed to reveal the source: a fluorescent plant that took root in black mud and lost its fruit.

   A scene came to mind: fluorescent plants pulled out their roots, moved to leave creeping traces, approached the river, and left fruits to build spires.

  Remy never said they had wisdom. There is no reason for a plant to know their signs and plans.

  Lu Li looked away from the fluorescent plant and fell into the dark depths.

   Knowing their actions, there is only one being that would do it: the Eternal Forest itself.

  Lu Li recalled that "Tesla" in the land of fraud once said: This forest needs life.

  Perhaps the Eternal Forest is telling the truth through his mouth.

  The fact that a forest has consciousness will not surprise Lu Li. Even if he throws away the weird jungle in the fantasy world, he has encountered two forests with consciousness: the elm forest and the plant habitat.

   Lu Li, who already knew the truth, retreated to the coast. The Eternal Forest would not stop him from leaving. This was his chance.

  Lu Li summons the merchant Anthony again on the coast to bring all the sunshine boxes. Put seventeen sunshine boxes in the stomach bag: "You and the sculpture stay here and wait for Andrea, take it on board."

After instructing the merchant Anthony, he turned back on the edge of the forest, released the Tree Whisperer, opened the sunshine box, and talked to the forest when the sunshine bloomed from the golden ocean: "I hope that there will be an exchange. I leave the sunshine and the future to bring the eternal forest. Resident, in exchange for the forest allowing me to leave with my companions."

  Place the sun box on the lawn where the soil was drilled, and Lu Li covered the wooden box, leaving behind a light like a crevice in the dark cloud, and converged Annie's phantom and moved upstream.

   Paused slightly when passing the token tower that had been moved, Lu Li released the Tree Whisperer again, and opened the second sunshine box, and then continued to move forward.

The change of    comes in the second mark - which leads Luli to an unfamiliar stream that ships cannot sail.

  Lu Li leaves a third Sun Box, and a Sun Box next to each subsequent mark he encounters.

   Hurrying along the new guidelines, after passing the fifteenth mark on the third day, Lu Li finally approached his destination: a lake with a dark outline surrounded by fluorescent plants.

  The other side of the lake was lit by fire, and vague figures swayed in front of the bonfire.

  Lu Li opened the sixteenth sun box, and the beams of light burst into the sky.

The torch that responded    quickly swayed on the other side, and after waiting for a moment, Remi, who was floating across the lake, landed beside Lu Li.

   "You were also brought here by the forest?"

   "Let's go."

  Remi paused for a while, feeling the urgency under the calm words, nodded, and headed towards the other side of the lake, the banshee screamed over the temporary camp: "Pack up and leave immediately!"

  The figures on the opposite bank gradually swayed, and a few torches stretched along the lakeside to this side.

   After ten minutes, Tesla and the others approached Luli, but only brought five residents.

   "Let Reina tell you." Tesla sighed.

   The middle-aged man named Hui Na said in fear and guilt: "The forest is warning us not to let us leave."

   "I made an exchange with Eternal Forest and can leave now."

   Hesitantly, finally hesitant to reveal the truth: "Sorry, we want to stay here..."

  This lake is more suitable for living than Paradise Valley, and they don't want to go to the faraway land of light, even if it is as beautiful as imagined.

   Lu Li graciously allowed them to leave, leaving only four residents who chose to follow.

   "I can make them follow," Remy said.

"no need."

   Dozens of inhabitants do little to start a virtuous circle of light, and they have to leave as soon as possible, the more the slower.

   "How much time do we have?" Remy asked.

   "Not more than three days."

  Sunboxes don't bloom forever, depending on the gaps left, sunlight can evaporate for five to six days, if the Eternal Forest doesn't open them.

   "How long did it take you to come here?"

   "Not more than three days." Lu Li, who was on the road in a row, told her, "But I need some time to rest."

   "You can all sit on Ampere's back, but luggage..."

   "Throw away everything except the crops."

  Tesla knows what matters.

   They dumped their useless luggage and jumped onto Ampere's back, with Remi floating beside him, and followed Ampere, who was walking with many legs, into the forest, away from the people who stayed by the lake.

  It took nearly three days for Lu Li to return upstream to find them, and it took Ampere less than half a day to return to the edge of the forest.

   The direction-directed sun boxes shone, and the forest did not touch them.

   Lu Li, who jumped off Ampere's back, stepped on the wet soil, staggered slightly, and was supported by the floating Remy.

  The businessman Anthony and the sculpture were not there. Lu Li handed the last sunshine box to Remy and let her unfold it towards the sea to make sure Andrea could find them.

   After everything was done, Lu Li left the sun box behind, shining into the forest like a lighthouse beam, and approaching the shore with the people with numb legs.

  Wowla-wowla-

  The sound of the waves gradually became clear as they approached the coast, and the light of a few oil lamps appeared on the pitch-black sea and drifted slowly.

   Twisted Cultists rowed to greet them.

  The heretics on the boat made them uncomfortable, but thinking of the Church in the Land of Light, they were allies, not enemies.

   One after another got on the swaying wooden boat, Ampere was carried by three wooden boats lined up in a row, and the twisted cultists controlled the sea water and sent it to Andrea.

   "This ship, I feel it is alive..."

  Remi watched the rope fall, and automatically wrapped around both ends of the wooden boat, slowly rising, and the Ampere wooden boat was also pulled up by the ropes like living things.

   "Her name is Andrea."

The wooden boat    was raised parallel to the deck, and they stepped on the deck with the land.

   "I believe what you said now." Jimmy said in a muffled voice.

   "Have you been suspicious?" Remi looked at her brother with a bad tone.

   "I thought he was tricking those people into leaving..."

  Amps fell on the deck, and the ropes were scattered and loosened.

   "Go to Nice Town."

   In Lu Li's voice, Andrea swayed slightly and sailed towards the other side of the vast deep sea.

  The light on the edge of the land gradually turned into a point of light, no longer visible.

  The four residents and Ampere were temporarily placed in the cabin, and Lu Li took them back to the captain's room. Tesla was surprised by the sculpture in the corner.

   "It's actually in a place of fraud..."
