Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 1170 One hundred and eight. Better than a dream

   Chapter 1170 One hundred eight. Better than a dream

   Lu Li lightly wrapped his arms around his waist, a weightless crying girl.

   "I know you'll come...I know...sorry...sorry..."

  Anna murmured like a dream, hugging Lu Li tightly.

  Lu Li was also immersed in the beauty of finally reuniting.

  The silhouette of Remy appears next to the wooden house, then Jimmy, Tesla, Adam Fuya, Ampere, the children...

  Ana ignored them, her fiery emotion almost melted Lu Li. After a long time, she was reluctant to let go of Lu Li and grabbed him with her fingers interlocked, afraid that everything was just a dream.

   "Our friends live here too."

  Ana looked at the people on the other side of the river with expressions of blessing for good things, and floated across the river with Lu Li.

   All are Lu Li's familiar faces.

   "I thought it was an illusion, but you haven't changed at all..." Tesla was the first to sigh. Time has carved a mark on him, turning the former investigator into an old man.

   "Maybe Lu Li will make you younger when he arrives." Adam Fuya was still the beautiful woman she used to be.

   "Have you seen the letter we left? I almost thought you had..." Unable to speak, Remi gently hugged Lu Li, but Anna generously did not stop her.

  There is nothing better than Lu Li returning to her life.

  Remi let go of Lu Li, and Jimmy hugged him again. He seemed to have just finished his farm work, exuding enthusiasm, and said incoherently: "I...thank...welcome..."

  Jimmy pushed away, the children ran over hand in hand, and sang songs around Lu Li: "She is surrounded by a vast forest, far away from disputes. Animals gather here, and plants are still growing..."

   "Roaring—"

   Ampere, who was on the periphery, shouted in a low voice.

   "I'll take you to our house."

  Anna pulled Lu Li up and walked towards the log cabin community.

  The jumping children wanted to follow, but Remi swayed her dancing skirt, and invisible force stopped them.

   "Give them alone time," Remy said softly.

   Pushing open the door with flowers, Lu Li stepped on the creaking floor and walked into the wooden house. What he saw seemed to be back to the detective agency: bookshelves, desks, sofas, and sculptures standing by the walls.

   It raised its arm, holding a cluster of flowers in its palm.

   "Enri!"

  Anna looked at the earthy flowerpot on the windowsill, all the carefully tended flowers were in the hands of the sculpture.

   "Just once."

   She waved her hand gently, the sculpture was lifted up by an invisible force, flew into the bedroom, and the door closed with a "click".

Anna, who was finally alone, faced Lu Li, her illusory fingertips carefully, scratching the scab and the new wound with pain, tears welling up in her eyes: "I'm sorry... I should be waiting for you outside... You paid a lot to find me... …Is it right?"

"Um."

  Anna gently stroked Lu Li's thinner cheeks, her forehead lightly resting on his chest.

  The two embracing silhouettes are solidified like a sculpture.

  Because of Lu Li's arrival, Remy and the others carefully prepared food and slaughtered a lamb on the farm.

   In the evening, after the sun disappeared in the dark forest surrounding the grassland, the stars climbed into the night sky.

   They had dinner together in the house of the Jimmy brothers and sisters. The cooking pot with lamb and jicama was fragrant, and they clinked glasses with fruit wine made from wild fruits. Lu Li and Anna, who had changed into new clothes, were next to their shoulders.

  In addition to the aroma of the food itself, there are also stories of the past.

   "Why don't you leave here?"

   "We've been to the edge, and it's still dark there, as if the whole world was left with us," Tesla replied.

   They did not know the existence of the Land of Light.

  Lu Li looked at Anna, she wrapped her arms and said softly, "I knew you would come..."

   Mentioning this, people recited a long poem in prayer: "She is surrounded by vast forests, far away from disputes. Animals gather here, plants are still growing, and honey-like rivers flow. People who have migrated here are like paradise."

   This is not the end, they complete the long poem sang of the Eternal Forest.

   "It is called the eternal forest, where life flows; it is the lungs of the world, nourishing the world. It is a pastoral without sorrow, it is a pure land without filth."

   "Will you stay?"

After    followed the chanting, Anna asked Lu Li with anticipation:

   "I will take you away." Lu Li told them the Land of Light.

  Tesla mourns its former home.

   "Will you stay... we can live here forever." But Anna prefers it here.

  Lu Li almost agreed to her, but he thought of the outside world, everyone's expectations, and shook his head gently: "The land of hope is our home."

   "Here too."

  Anna lowered her head sadly.

  Tesla recited the long poem again: "She is surrounded by vast forests, far from strife. Animals gather here, plants are still growing, flowing honey-like rivers..."

  People followed, folded their hands, and recited prayerfully. Anna also followed and recited: "People who have escaped from the world have migrated here, like heaven—"

"Land from……"

   The whisper of the Swamp Mother was suddenly mixed with the prayer, and it sounded in my mind.

   "--the eternal forest, where life flows; it is the lungs of the world, nourishing the world. It is a garden without sorrow, it is a pure land without filth..."

  Lu Li lowered his eyes and listened quietly.

"What’s wrong with you?"

After    prayed, Anna opened her eyes and asked Lu Li.

   "I'm a little uncomfortable, go outside for a while."

   "I'll accompany you."

"Need not."

  Lu Li left his seat, left the warm house, and came to the outside where the breeze was blowing.

   Walked to the edge of the log house community like wandering, Lu Li put his palm into his stomach bag and held a pure white stone.

   "Your heart tells me that you are hesitating..."

   "Anna", who was sitting on the beam, shook her calf.

   "There's nothing wrong with being immersed in fantasy. You think it's true here, then it's true. You can think that the Swamp Mother's reminders are false."

  Lu Li looked up at her: "Anna is still waiting for me outside."

   "But what if I'm already dead..." "Anna" stopped shaking and looked down at him: "The answer is not so important sometimes, my love, you have to learn to deceive yourself..."

  Lu Li returned to silence, but the outline of "Anna" gradually began to fade.

   "Looks like you've decided..."

   "Anna" smiled slightly and disappeared into the night sky.

  Lu Li stared briefly at the warm light from the window not far away, then turned and walked towards the lonely and dark river bank.

  Squeak-

The door behind    opened at this time.

   "Lu Li! Don't leave me! Please!"

  The crying Anna lifted her skirt, ran off her shoe, and ran towards Lu Li barefooted.

   But how can ghosts cry, how can they run, and how can they throw off their shoes?

  Lu Li watched Anna running tenderly, turned and jumped into the river that might be overflowing with rotting juice. The icy cold washes away all the good things in the past, and the unknown torrent drags him into the depths of the dark forest.
