Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 787 Seventy-eight. Mother and Daughter

  Linna's tree can't remember much.

  There are only a few memories left when I was a human. Such as Lu Li, such as Oracle.

  Lina's tree doesn't mind telling Lu Li the secrets of their gods, the spirits of the ancestors. It said that the spirit of the ancestors knew of Lu Li's arrival, and the identity of the guide was given by him, and it also said that the spirit of the ancestors knew about the strange seed in Lu Li's pocket.

   The ancestral spirit is the common mother of all trees.

The sadness of the death of the trees on the ground awakened him, but the spirit of the ancestors still lost their power, and they could only use the last resort to continue the bloodline, and descended the oracle to let the tree of Linna leave the falling Thunder Fort, which is about to be destroyed, and establish a peaceful place here. Sen.

   They become pioneers, and under the direction of the ancestral spirits, they establish breeding grounds, where children are born.

  The tree people that Lu Li saw were born in the gestation. They grow into adult appearance in three years, and then gradually shed into trees. Those with thin bloodline become the guardians of the forest periphery, and those with rich bloodline guard the tranquil forest.

   But when talking about the birthplace, Linna's tree stopped slow and long words for some reason, a tangled expression appeared on the old face, and it seemed that he didn't want to continue to follow the spirit of the ancestors.

   Lu Li was noncommittal.

  Linna's Tree also said that the pioneers of other gathering places in the forest heard about Lu Li's arrival and wanted to see him. It said some names, but Lu Li didn't recognize them.

   After thinking about it, Lu Li rejected it. He will leave the forest early tomorrow to join the team at Cape Storm.

   Maybe he hasn't communicated with people outside the forest for a long time. Linna's tree wanted to say more, but he couldn't say it clumsily. It only appeared on the wall strangely like a mural, staring at Lu Li.

  There is no needle and thread to sew the eldest sister's head in the plant habitat. Fortunately, this kind of tearing is not troublesome for a puppet, as long as the black cotton inside will not be exposed.

   Filled the fire with some firewood, Lu Li lay down on the low bed formed by the roots of the tree, told the eldest sister that there was something to wake him up, and fell into a deep sleep.

   On the wall of the tree house, the face that appeared in the Linna tree never disappeared, as if waiting for Lu Li to fall into a dream.

  The Forest of Tranquility is quieter than other places.

  There is no hustle and bustle from the streets and alleys outside the window, and there is no weird screaming in the wilderness.

  The night was spent, and the forest was filled with mist in the morning.

  The fire was burning weakly, a flame darker than an oil lamp crumbling. At a certain moment, the flames were extinguished, and a wisp of green smoke rose up.

   Lu Li slowly woke up.

   He saw peeking outside the tree house, full of young men and women with pure and curious childlikeness.

  It is hard to imagine that they are all under three years old.

   "Big sister head."

   Lu Li didn't find it. When the voice fell, it sleepily rubbed the eyes under the twisted mask and climbed onto Lu Li's shoulders: "It's dawn..."

   Lu Li who sat up startled the young tree people who were peeking outside the tree house, but soon, a middle-aged woman who was about to become a tree walked into the tree house, holding a few fruits in her palms with cobweb-like branches.

  There are some trees in the plant habitat that are fruit trees, which are also food for tree people.

  In weird times, fruit was obviously a rare food.

   Just don't think about the source of the fruit.

   "Lu Li, are you leaving..."

   After eating the fruit, Linna's tree's face appeared on the wall.

   A period of communication made his speech much smoother.

"Um."

   But wait a little longer, the morning has just arrived, and the eerie fog that fills the wilderness has not yet receded.

  Lina Tree asked Lu Li's humanity again. Plant habitats need some help, and if Lu Li's breath becomes what it used to be, it will help them.

   "I kill the monster and it will recover."

   Facing the friendliness of the plant habitat, Lu Li revealed some information.

   "You can kill that leader..." Linna's Tree said.

   sounded tempting, but Lu Li calmly rejected it: "That's your prey."

   "We just need nutrients...it's powerless to resist..."

   This time, Lu Li did not refuse.

  Weird is difficult to measure its power, and can only be compared horizontally by the ability displayed.

  The leader is weird and close to the evil spirit, kills the model mother, Lu Li can gain more than five parts of humanity after the increase.

  Humanity enhances Lu Li's resistance to pollution and the damage of his left-hand redemption shard, but also bears the price—the price of humanity.

  The old days were full of covetousness, not to mention now.

  Zhijiao figure appeared, leading Lu Li back to the periphery of the plant habitat they entered yesterday.

  Lu Li saw the model mother bound by branches dozens of meters deep in the forest.

  The collapsed tree stretched behind it, thousands of twigs pierced the model mother, and earthworm-like branches ran through the flesh of the model mother.

   It bowed its head, motionless, and seemed to be dead.

   "It's not dead yet..." The eldest sister whispered.

  Lu Li walked up to the model mother and put his left hand on her forehead.

  chi——

  The model's mother's body trembled, the branches snapped and snapped, but more branches stretched out and wrapped around it.

  The model mother who was suppressed by the guards trembled and rolled her blood-stained eyes, staring at Lu Li full of hatred and resentment.

   Suddenly, the maliciousness of the words, as if whispering, suddenly appeared in Lu Li's mind.

  【Bloodstainer】

  【You are covered in blood, you have your own and your enemies. The blood runs under your feet, it makes you fierce and makes you more coveted. They are afraid of your blood and covet your blood. 】

  【Your damage to monsters is higher】

  【——Now, you are "equal"】

  The model mother gave Lu Li the title of Curse when she was dying.

  The description of the cursed title is more obvious and more negative than [Lighthouse] - it is a curse without compromise.

   Because humans do very little damage to the weird.

   But to a certain extent, it applies to Lu Li instead.

   He can damage weird.

   He himself was coveted by the grotesque.

After    cast the curse, the model mother gave up the struggle, and its breath gradually disappeared in the intermittent roar like laughter.

   The next moment, Lu Li was involved in the retrospective of the model's mother's death.

  The little girl lay on the bed and fell asleep, and the echoing bells gradually disappeared.

  The woman quietly put down the half-woven basket and came to the bed.

  Lu Li stood aside, watching quietly.

   They are real mothers and daughters.

  The little girl disappeared on the bed, and the woman burst into tears.

   Lu Li tilted his head slightly at this time.

  The little girl who disappeared stood beside him and gently lifted his palm.

  Lu Li did not resist, and let the little girl raise her palms, stand on tiptoes, and cover the mouth of the sad woman to stop the call that came later.

   There is a sad dim hut, and the little girl holding her palm seems to be embracing her mother.

  …

  Lu Li opened his eyes.

   The resentment in the model's mother's scarlet pupils gradually faded, and huge teardrops like fruit welled up in her eyes.

   Its body collapsed and melted like ooze, the fluorescent flesh illuminated the entire dark green dark forest, and the surrounding trees grew vigorously.

"sorry……"

   Sad whispers dissipated in the woods.

   I don't know if it's an apology for the child who failed to protect it, or a grudge against Lu Li.
