Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 496 73. Purpose

   Chapter 496 Seventy-three. Purpose

  Under the dark and deep sea, the originally vague time gradually became clear.

   Extending from the abyss, the huge stone pillars standing in the deep sea seem like ancient ruins, dating back thousands of years or even longer.

  Richard, who was swimming more and more slowly, burst out with new strength, swinging his legs close to the stone pillar.

  Under the almost static deep sea, the disturbed sea water escaped from the two of them. A strange scene was happening. As Richard approached the huge stone pillar, the dust and silt accumulated on it were being stirred and dispersed by the current.

  Richard ignored the original traces of the stone pillar after the silt had dissipated, and went down the stone pillar.

  Lu Li was still following behind Richard, the difference was that he approached the stone pillar and observed the traces on it.

  The huge stone pillars are distributed with traces of carvings. These traces are severely worn due to the incompleteness of the stone pillars, or are covered with silt and deep sea dust, making it difficult to identify.

   is like fractal art, but the extremely irregular twisted ravines outline unpredictable edges and corners. When the eyes fall on it, the indescribable feeling of nausea and physical rejection will occupy the heart.

  Lu Li can temporarily overcome this discomfort, but it is not necessary.

   He found himself unable to comprehend the outlines that made him feel uneasy when his gaze fell, as if there was a mysterious power attached to them.

  This is where the consciousness is, full of threats and weirdness. Lu Li should be as careful as possible and put away his inner curiosity and desire for knowledge.

   But he still kept his eye on the stone pillar from the corner of his eye. As it continued to go deeper into the sea, the huge stone pillar began to become complete. Then there are those angular ravines that are complete.

   Just a casual observation, Lu Li's brain seemed to be thrown around, and an uncontrollable feeling of nausea emerged in his heart.

  Lu Li pursed his lips and distanced himself from the stone pillar like Richard, until he could not see the "pattern" on the huge stone pillar.

   There is not just one stone pillar here.

Tens of seconds after the    huge stone pillar appeared, Lu Li on the dark sea floor found a second one within the visible range. Soon, a third one followed, and then a fourth...

  More and more huge stone pillars appeared in the field of vision along with the dive, irregularly distributed in this abyss, forming towering buildings that were dilapidated and seemed to have been destroyed.

  This place is like the ruins of a city standing in the deep sea.

The countless stone pillars in front of him are a little far away, some are close, but the dense number makes them only appear in the peripheral vision, which will make Lu Li feel extremely repulsive. He has to narrow his eyes, narrow the scope of vision, and only vaguely see Richard below. Germany's back.

  Fortunately, the stone pillars did not make the sanity counter on the wrist sound, they were just pure and dirty minds.

   Continue to dive for 200, maybe 300 meters, the surrounding stone pillars no longer increase, and an idea suddenly appeared in Lu Li's mind.

   They may be near the bottom of the ruins.

A few seconds after the idea of ​​   was born, a stepped altar of the same stone as the stone pillars appeared below.

  This altar is just a dead thing, but Lu Li really felt its call to himself, as if the consciousness that called him was the altar itself when he was on the sea.

  Richard swam to the altar, found the entrance of the deep crypt from its position near the top, and accelerated into the passage.

   Luli followed closely.

  Suddenly, Richard's body a few meters away seemed to have lost control and fell heavily on the ground of the passage, unable to get up.

   Before Lu Li could react, he encountered the same situation as Richard: his body became extremely heavy.

   was not injured, Lu Li, who had more physical strength, just stumbled to his knees.

   The cold air inhaled into his lungs and the uncomfortable touch of his clothes made Lu Li realize something.

   They got out of the sea.

   Looking back, Lu Li could still see the towering and twisted stone pillar buildings outside the crypt.

   "I underestimated you, you are actually able to follow here..." Richard's light laughter sounded behind him, he withdrew his gaze, and Lu Li looked at Richard, who was swaying up against the wet talcum wall, soaked all over.

   "The traps in the log house are childish," he replied.

  Richard was noncommittal.

   "Sometimes I really admire your stalking, you can't get rid of it like a slug."

Richard's emotions were filled with undisguised boredom and the complexity of the easy gap. He sighed and said, "Your persistence has touched me. Before I replace the ancient **** and kill you, I can tell you about Something here."

   Lu Li, who was also dripping the sea, looked at Richard calmly: "Now you are the disadvantage."

   "I don't think so." Richard struggled to pull the corners of his mouth, showing a triumphant smile: "If I don't say it, you won't want to know anything."

   "Even death?"

   "Would you do that?" Richard asked rhetorically. "If you could, you wouldn't let me come here."

   Lu Li fell silent.

   He did have a way to make Richard "speak" - Anna's mental projection.

  Her mental projection can completely obtain a person's thoughts, memories and consciousness, but correspondingly, these will also appear in Anna's memory.

  Lu Li knows what happens when a person is fed a lot of memories that don't belong to him.

   He couldn't bear the cost of Anna's consciousness being polluted.

   "Have you considered it, if you don't plan to ask questions, maybe you won't have a chance next time." Richard urged, with a playful tone. After fleeing in embarrassment for several months, he was finally able to face Lu Li fearlessly.

   Silence remained for a few seconds, and Lu left the mouth: "Where is this."

   "...Laleye." Richard said slowly.

   Lu Li suddenly felt the trembling of the altar under his feet, and the sea water outside became turbid, it seemed that the entire ruins shook with the whisper.

  Lalaye…

The term    brought back Lu Li's memory to James Campbell's diary that he had just met Anna two months ago.

  James Campbell once killed Ruth, the eyeless ghost in the gallery, and was thrown into the "door" by Ruth. After escaping from there, he briefly wrote down what he had encountered for a few days, and finally chose to take the initiative to enter the door because he was unable to resist the horror of the door.

In the last paragraph of the    diary, James Campbell wrote down messy and meaningless words, most of which could not be pieced together or traced back. Lu Li only remembered what was pieced together at the time: Leye.

   Maybe this is where the diary points to?

The    tremors of the altar vanished, and Richard continued: "Where the sleeping ancient gods rest."

   "Sleep rather than die?" Lu Li remembered that Richard had three bodies of the "Ancient God".

   "The one who sleeps forever is not the dead. Even death will disappear in the wonderful eternity." Richard's answer seemed to have some deep meaning.

  Lu Li did not investigate the meaning of this sentence, and continued to ask: "What is the ancient god."

   "The ancient gods, the great beings who once ruled this world. But soon, I will replace the ancient gods who are sleeping and become the new gods."
