Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 1142 80. Saint Elena 4
Chapter 1142 Eighty. Saint Elena (4)
The whirlwind blows through the swirling branches, twisting and swaying the curly trunk.
Each tree is like countless circles intertwined with each other, extending into a virgin forest like the habitat of groups of giant snails.
The earth is no longer static and monotonous, the rocks covered with spiral patterns are like fossils, the wind brings swirls, and the soil is painted into large, oval, overlapping layers of circles, sunflower-like curling crops are cultivated along the circles of farmland and dawn. Swing clockwise.
The whirlpool town, which used to be only a dozen blocks, has long since expanded into a real town with the vortex land. The winding streets form an endless maze, and the uninterrupted longhouses form a dizzying vortex, circling and rising around the center. , a spiral tower deep into the vortex cloud.
Even painters who claim to have been inspired by the gods cannot paint this bizarre scenario.
The land is much sicker than it was a few months ago.
Some exorcists who no longer have the apprentice prefix even suffer from low sanity syndrome due to being trapped in this swirling world.
"Don't let the pendant leave the body."
Lu Li reminded his companions who were breathing gradually short of breath, and set off for the whirlpool town.
The exorcists followed one after another. The whirlwind blew past, and the footprints they left were annihilated into tiny vortexes, and became part of this fantastic sand painting-like land again.
Passing the farmland in the distance, the silhouettes of the whirlpools can be seen among the curly low crops, and they also noticed them—if they hadn’t experienced the dream of the terrestrial structure, the exorcists should have been avoiding the sight of the whirlpools.
The vortex land in the distance provides them with clear guidance, and as they approach, more details emerge in the dizzying vortex.
Lu Li made a short stop here. Potter and the others observed the longhouse built on the outermost periphery, and some people followed the landing to count the current number of laps in the whirlpool town: a total of fifty-five laps of the whirlpool longhouse was entrenched in front.
This is bad news that could not be worse. What they experienced was only a dozen circles away from the dreamland constructed by the whirlpool town when Lu sneaked in a few months ago.
At that time Elena was on the fifth lap.
And this means that if Elena does not move out, they will go deep into the 40th floor of the whirlpool town.
And the pendant only pointed the direction, not the distance, plus Lu Li entered the whirlpool this time from a different direction, they were likely to cross most of the whirlpool town.
Thinking, Lu Li continued to set off, approaching the periphery of the whirlpool town. Perhaps because of the confrontation with the Twisted Religion and the Embers District, there were not many people in the vortex in sight, and the degree of infection was relatively shallow - only the waist was folded, the head was on the ground, and the feet were on the ground, or the body was hunched up, not as bad as in the dream. People gag.
Although knowing that these abominable forms will treat them as new residents, stepping into the town and passing by them still makes the exorcists tense their bodies and nerves subconsciously.
Especially a whirlpool man in a linen shirt with a missing left sleeve took the initiative to strike up a conversation with them.
grotesque language came out of the swirling mouth of this rickety waist, and the only thing he could understand was friendliness.
Lu Li shook his head at it to express incomprehension or refusal. Following the pendant's guide, he passed through the gap between the longhouses familiarly and came to the second-floor longhouse.
The outside world is blocked by the longhouse that seems to have not been eroded by the years, and the wandering figures on the narrow streets can already be called whirlpool people-they have all rotated inwards two or three times.
At this moment, Lu Li stopped and said to the exorcists who followed: "Then we split up and a team moved along the edge of the town to determine Elena's location. The rest of us and I will wait in a vacant house to wait for the news. message back."
"Don't we just follow the pendant guide?" Wenger asked in confusion.
"Stupid Wenger." Langer understood Lu Li's intention: "We are like the end of a clock hand, Elena is the root. We want to go to the root and avoid getting too close to the middle of the dial. But the problem is that the hands are misplaced, we go to the root Going may have to travel across the entire dial, so we have to move the hands first to find where the roots are.”
Potter understood Langer's analogy: "I'll determine the location, just how do we get in touch?"
"Summon the merchant." Lu Li replied.
Apprentice exorcists all wear more than one eyeball.
They were divided into two teams. Porter led the team and five companions with businessman Anthony along the outer circle to confirm Elena's location. .
Looking at the outside world from the narrow rear window, there are significantly fewer people in the vortex on the street, and most of them should be gathered on the battlefield.
After a few dozen minutes of rest, the auditory hallucinations in the minds of the trainee exorcists gradually faded.
There was no news from Potter, neither good news nor bad news.
During the next waiting, Lu Li saw a "familiar" silhouette: the whirlpool man who was wearing missing sleeves to talk to them.
Only less than two hours have passed, and it is so polluted that it is almost folded in half.
The contamination of the Whirlpool Land has deepened.
But the pendant is enough to protect them from infection.
Not long after, businessman Anthony brought back news from Potter: They were in the right direction.
The team that had rested long enough was ready to set off. Lu Li wrapped wooden sticks around the doorknob to guide Potter and the others who were returning, and then set off deep into the whirlpool town.
The deeper you go into the whirlpool, the deeper the curling of the whirlpool people in the streets and alleys, like a twisting circle of soft creatures. The exorcists did not dare to look at their blasphemous sinful bodies for too long, and even if there was a peripheral vision, they would appear dizzy and disgusting.
They wish "Elena" hadn't turned out like this, but obviously that's an extravagant hope. They are all over the place, to the point of making them pessimistic, can Twisted Shadow's sister really be rescued...
As time goes by, as they go deeper into the town, they are different from the abominable forms around them, and they begin to be watched by eyeballs dotted in the depths of the thread, and even followed by a few whirlpools. Whenever it happened, Lu Li would lead the exorcists into the uninhabited long house, lock the door, and escape through the back window before they slammed open the door and broke in.
Entering the thirtieth circle, the crowded streets are grotesquely unrealistic.
The apprentice exorcists overcame the auditory hallucinations and looming hallucinations in their minds, avoiding those who seemed to be made of mud, and the vortex people who were coiled around in a parody of human beings.
Finally, they followed the pendant to an old longhouse. Lu Li pushed open the door and looked at the only whirlpool man in the room.
Indescribable language came out, and it seemed to be able to hear alertness and hostility from it.
She didn't recognize Lu Li. Did the whirlpool twist her mind, or was she not Elena?
Lu Li took out the pendant and stretched out his palm to "Elena".
"Elena" hesitated, raised the curled tentacles that might be fingers, and lightly touched the pendant in Lu Li's palm.
There is no trace of human beings to be found in her.
