Under the lone candlelight, the shrubs cast strange shadows.
A lizard maid with a disgusting head wanders in front of the mansion.
The oil lamp held by the strange claws shed dim light, and the surrounding things dragged long, shaking strange shadows.
This strange tranquility continued as the lizard maid slowly trimmed the manor shrubs, until a shadow flowed from the edge. The lizard maid's protruding eyes, covered with tough eye masks, turned, holding an oil lamp to follow the quietly flowing shadow.
As if the shadow of the lurking black mist had a clear target, it used shrubs and corners to hide itself, avoiding the lizard maids along the way, and got into the mansion.
Only the original lizard maid discovered it and walked into the mansion.
The shadow flickered on the second floor at the corner of the stairs. It came upstairs and saw the dark and slender shadow pulling down the doorknob and entering the master's bedroom.
The lizard maid stopped in front of the bedroom with the door ajar and stretched out her strange claws.
The invisible breeze that lifted the hem of clothes suddenly surged in the corridor, and a thin girl wrapped in bandages and wearing a maid outfit fell into the corridor from the window.
"what are you doing here."
The lizard lowered its head: "Master, there is an intruder."
The head maid waved her hand gently, and the strong wind opened the door, revealing the scene in the bedroom: an elegant black cat sitting on the bed.
"Little Remy!"
The bandaged girl screamed uncontrollably, fell back on the carpet, rushed into the bedroom, and hugged the black cat tightly.
"Remi, are you here to find me...I miss you so much..."
The murmur of dependence and longing touched my heart, but this tenderness was only for "Little Remy". When the conscious lizard maid was still in the corridor, she turned around and yelled: "Get out!"
Bang!
The harsh wind blew the door shut, and the head maid's indifference melted into gentleness: "I've been looking for you... you're looking for me too, right?"
"Um."
Lu Li didn't meow.
This infiltration without alerting other lords is perfect, but hidden dangers still exist: the Earth dweller trading company and the swampland will know the whereabouts of Lu Li due to the theft of the ancient stone seal. They know the story of "The Sunken Land" and know what the undead are in Midnight City.
The road paved by Lu Li, knowing Lu Li's disguised identity.
There is no point in wondering whether "The Sunken Land" is the inspiration of writer Clarence Wilkin or the conspiracy of the swamp. The existence of this book has broken the path paved by Midnight City for Lu Li.
And even if it is possible to follow the planned route... losing the people of Midnight City, it no longer makes sense to reshape the order of Midnight City.
Lies are fragile, and the maid may still believe that the black cat in front of her is her little girl, but it is not difficult to expose the lie.
He must be closely connected with the head maid. Even if the truth is exposed, it will not change the relationship between Lu Li and Claire.
What could be more convincing than telling the truth?
"You can talk now!?"
The head maid was so happy that she cheered Luli up in response to "Little Leimi".
The imprint left by Claire was deep enough that even speaking could not affect the head maid's trust in little Leimi. This was Lu Li's opportunity.
"Follow me." Lu Li tried to jump off the head maid, but was held tightly by her and couldn't break free.
"Put me down first."
"don't want."
The head maid rested her chin on top of Lu Li's head.
Lu Li had no choice but to let the head maid carry him out of the mansion, and he landed in front of the woodshed standing alone at the edge of the garden.
The struggling Lu Li finally slipped from the gap between the maid's long chest and arms. Before the cat's paws hit the ground, the soft wind lifted him up and carried him back to the head maid's arms.
"Open the door and don't use the wind." Lu Li had no choice but to give up struggling.
"Okay."
The head maid approached the wooden door and pushed open the wooden door that rubbed against the floor.
The dusty and neglected old firewood shed appears in front of you, but if you look carefully, you will find uneven dust and cat paw prints on the floor.
"Put me down."
Lu Li landed on the floor, jumped up on the debris piled in the corner, got into the back, and soon took out a stomach bag with dust on his face.
Before the head maid picked him up and wiped off the dust, Lu Li bit into his stomach bag. The cat leaned into the stomach bag and rummaged through the bulging bag to search for "The Sunken Place".
Without the increase in the Doomsday Apocalypse Book, it was a bit difficult for him to drag a book. Before his stomach closed and swallowed Lu Li, his head barely came out of the stomach, holding a corner of "The Sunken Land" in his mouth.
A thin arm wrapped with bandages jumped over Lu Li and picked up the book "The Sunken Land".
"The answer is in this book." Lu Li said.
The head maid first hugged Lu Li back into her arms and then opened the book's title page.
[Death is not inevitable, the people who are engraved in history are just in eternal sleep. Lu Li]
The head maid who still didn't know what this meant looked curiously and saw the protagonist Lu Li entering the Giant Tree Academy. She pointed to the distant outline of the giant tree outside the door: "Is that the tree?"
After receiving the answer, the head maid gently stroked Lu Li's head and continued reading. From Lu Li's integration into the lower grades, he became excited, to Lu Li's being sacrificed by Professor Hagrid, he became nervous, and then to the top ten competition, he began to become euphoric.
.
From the swamp to the filthy sewers, to the strange jungle to the fourth level, and when Lu Li emerged from the secret passage and turned into Leimi, the euphoric breeze around the head maid disappeared.
When the head maid was lost in thought after reading the postscript, Lu Li jumped down and came to the covered cellar door: "The tunnel is down here."
The breeze picked up Lu Li and brought him to the head maid.
"Are you Lu Li?"
"Um."
"I'm Claire?"
"Um."
"You were deceived by this book, little Remi." The head maid didn't read the rest of the content. The tiny whirlpool raged in her palm, tearing "The Sunken Land" into pieces: "It's very dangerous outside, and there are many weird things trying to deceive you.
of trust.”
Lu Li's black gem cat eyes reflected the head maid who was surrounded by chaotic wind: "This is the truth. How much do you know about the outside world? Do you still remember the past? Why is little Leimi so important to you?"
The silent head maid defended: "Because you are my family!"
"But you never doubted me, which in itself shows something."
"Then why do you believe me?" the head maid whispered.
"The same reason you believe I am Lemi."
Because of trust.
The bizarre dream suddenly emanated from the black cat, wrapping the head maid in the halo.
"Don't resist, you will see what happened."
Waiting for the unsuspecting maid to fall into a dream, Lu Li restrained the dreamer and followed him into the dream. Dreams would not lose humanity like releasing the dreamer. He had enough time to tell the story of what happened to the maid...
From the moment Lu Li came to Giant Tree Academy to the end of the illusion of Midnight City being annihilated behind Lu Li, the head maid watched quietly and left the dreamland.
Lu Li also woke up after Youyou.
"Little Leimi~"
The head maid, or rather Claire, had her face close in front of her eyes, watching Lu Li wake up: "Do you like this title?"
"Have you recovered your memory?"
"No, I'm just learning to remember what my other self would say."
"You believe it?"
"I don't believe it, but I know that little Lemi will never lie to me." Claire hugged Lu Li, her cheek touching Lu Li.
Lu Li heard a confused and familiar smell from the wind under the bandage.
