Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 1429 Seventy-one. Color

  So Lu Li handed over the boy's body to the spider guards, entrusting them to bury him in a place where he would not be disturbed.

  The spider guard told Lu Li that the church in Dark Star City has a cemetery where the boy's body can be buried—to compensate for the previous accidental attack.

  Leaving the hut, Lu Li continued to wander around the city, encountering strange things.

   Lu Li's previous attack was not the only one. When he sank to the edge of Dark Star City, a group of poor people attacked him. But there was no conspiracy or trickery, just being attracted by Lu Li's breath.

   Soon, the third, fourth, and fifth attacks followed.

   Firewood has a fatal attraction to weirdness, enough to break the shackles of order on them.

  The spider guards following Lu Li and the attitude behind them are worth pondering—they ignore Lu Li's behavior, attach importance to his safety, and ignore the weirdness of the attack.

  Lu Li seemed to be a scavenger, helping Dark Star City clean up unstable factors.

  —After realizing this, Lu Li, who sought help from Dark Star City, took the initiative to wander around to help this potential ally clean up the weirdness.

  Finally, Lu Li, who had brought many troubles to Dark Star City, was finally summoned by the King City.

  The mother goddess of Dark Star City summoned him.

  Lu Li stopped, raised his eyes, and looked into the distance.

  A snow-white royal city stands on top of a dark underground mountain.

  The Spider Mother waits, on top of the dim dark star.

  …

  Lu Li followed the spider guards into the royal city.

  By the **** leading to the top of the mountain, the Wangcheng is like a castle of building blocks, sometimes sparse and sometimes dense, surrounding the mountain.

  His breath gradually exhaled white mist.

   It wasn't because of the cold, the spider silk floating in the air like dust melted under his fiery breath.

  Lu Li doesn't need to breathe, letting air circulate in his lungs is just a human habit. So he no longer exhales the white mist, because he is worried that these spider silks will parasitize in the body.

   Stepping into the dark palace inlaid with fluorite, a halo of light appeared behind Lu Li, and he walked along the winding and quiet passage with the sound of crawling.

  The dusty corridor is covered with layers of fine spider webs, blurred like cumbersome hieroglyphs on reliefs. The floor tiles under the feet are also covered with white spider silk, as if they are going deep into a spider's lair—

   Considering that the owner of Dark Star City is called the Spider Mother Goddess, and Wangcheng is the residence of the Spider Mother Goddess, Lu Li is indeed stepping into the spider's lair.

  Through the complex inclined passage, a dark hall emerges at the end.

  The spider guards remained in the passage, and only Lu Li entered the hall.

  An oval crystal emitting lulling fluorescence is embedded in the darkness deep in the hall. It was so huge that the entire wall of this vast hall tens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide was completely embedded.

  In front of the giant crystal, Lu Li saw the Spider Princess who had been washed and dressed in a tulle-like gown.

  At this time, Lu Li felt a vast sense of gaze——

   Gaze from the giant crystal behind the tiny Spider Princess.

   That was an eye, an insignificant eye among the spider's countless compound eyes.

   And the spider princess standing in front of her eyes was possessed stiff and unnatural, and her low moans echoed in the dark hall.

   "I see fear in your skull..."

   While still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, the low moan sounded again.

   "Who's been babbling all this time? I've cut sins for every murderer, but the flesh on their heads and chests screams..."

   "I asked for snow, but my mother gave me a plague and the tombstones of countless people..."

   "The severe cold burned me to death, the snowflakes cooked every inch of my skin, I sat in the nest, slowly melting..."

  Accompanied by disorderly, unconnected whispers, Lu Li realized that the confusion of the spider mother and the spider princess's thinking was in the same strain.

   "My memory is missing... Realizing I'm dead..."

   "Since the departure of God, the believers have sung a long poem..."

  "The believers firmly and devoutly believe in their gods. But because they lost the whereabouts of the gods, they were lost in the eternal nothingness..."

   "Blood and fire bring death and destruction..."

   Disorderly babblings are occasionally mixed with whispers that seem to be admonitions, predictions, and revelations.

   And Lu Li noticed that Crystal's eyes were fading and becoming pale. Correspondingly, the raving spider girl gradually became more beautiful—

  For spiders, more brilliant colors mean more deadly toxicity.

   "A child who is unwilling to leave his mother will eventually return to his mother's arms..."

  click—

  A crack suddenly appeared in the gray and fragile giant eyes. The cracks spread and spread, densely filling the entire compound eye, and then turned into ashes in a sudden collapse.

   "Spider Mother Disappeared?"

  Lu Li couldn't feel the oppression of that existence. And as the spider princess whose body was painted with paint opened her pale eyes, a similar coercion emerged again.

   "Send blood to the swamp..."

  Spider Mother had a direct conversation with Lu Li for the first time.

"what do you want?"

   No gratuitous help. There is a reason why Darkstar City helps the Lightlands fight the Swamplands.

   "Allow us to survive here..."

  Lu Li is qualified to make decisions for this world: "I promise you."

  Dark Star City is more suitable for trade than any ally.

  Provided they resolve the crisis without letting the swamp engulf the world.

  Lu Li approached the Spider Princess in front of the pile of ashes, and stopped again. Because as he approached, he was dyed the gorgeous color of the spider princess, and his skin and flesh collapsed like a candle.

  As Lu Li kept his distance, the melted facial features returned to their original state.

  An empty corridor appeared at the edge of the dark hall, and Lu Li and the poisonous spider princess left the royal city from there.

  Princess Spider exudes poison all the time. Wherever it passes, the rocks and sand are stained with weird and distorted brilliant colors. Above all, an eerie light shone, constructing a twisted rainbow of indescribable colours.

  Even if he just got close to this rainbow light, Lu Li would once again fall into the pain of melting his body and soul. But during the moment of distortion, Lu Li suddenly caught a glimpse of the true color behind the rainbow light.

  Indescribably brilliant colors filled the melting muddy eyes, indescribably beyond imagination. As mysterious as the universe, as vast as the starry sky.

  Spider Goddess turns its power into colors, and as the last blood spider princess, she carries the colors.

  It seems that everything in this world cannot be smeared, even if the dream is approaching, it will be dyed with a touch of rainbow light in an instant, collapsing and melting.

   From this, Lu Li realized why the Spider Goddess wanted Lu Li to live here—because they came from above the starry sky.

  Lu Li kept a distance from Spider Princess, walked in front of her, and left Dark Star City along a special passage.

   As they were about to drill into the rock formation and return to the surface, the echoing bells echoed over the dungeon.

   Lu Li looked back at the bustling and majestic Dark Star City.

  The ancient bells have sounded, and weird times are coming.
