Everything is fine here. Aunt Mary and I are temporarily staying at Aunt Roseanne's house. She met you when you were very young and almost thought I was you.
The beaches on the island are beautiful, and the port is as prosperous as Rodster Port in the past. There are many people here, but it is not as fast-paced as Belfast.
Aunt Mary, I...everyone misses you so much.
Are you really not coming? We are all here.
How is Mr. Lu Li doing? Is he still in Belfast?
Also, stop abusing the power of the other world, Lu Li is not that fragile...
——Jojo on September??, No. 14 Shanin Street, Tambo City, Lennon Islands
"Is this okay?"
Qiaoqiao pushed the parchment letter to the desk.
【Can do it】
A piece of shredded paper floated up, and soon another one floated up: [Very good]
"The teacher taught us how to write letters when we were in college."
After receiving the compliment, Qiao Qiao smiled and said, thinking of Lu Li's death, she became depressed again, "Why don't you just tell Anna?"
The fluttering shreds of paper form a sentence pattern: [I, you, may not exist]
"What's the meaning?"
Qiaoqiao didn't get an answer and shook her groggy head. She stood up and opened the window again. The fresh sea breeze blew into the room and made her sober.
Looking into the distance of the tree crown, I could vaguely see the lighthouse standing on the coast on the other side of the woods.
Looking back at the bed, Lu Li still didn't answer.
"are you still there?"
【Um】
"Shall I go mail the letter now?"
【good】
Qiaoqiao first checked the wallet tied to her body, then opened the biscuit box and took out a dozen shillings with a face value of more than ten yuan folded inside. She grabbed the shredded paper and put it in her pocket, then walked out of the room with the parchment.
Katsa.
After closing the door, Qiao Qiao went back downstairs. Aunt Mary sat sideways on the sofa, talking to Aunt Roxanne in the kitchen.
"Aunt Mary, I wrote a parchment letter. Is there anything you want to tell Anna?" Jojo came to Aunt Mary who was looking at her.
"Can you give me a look?"
"certainly."
Aunt Mary took the parchment with dried writing
"You wrote very well, I have nothing to add." Mary said softly, and asked Aunt Roxanne in the kitchen: "Aunt Roxanne, where is the nearest post office?"
"No. 1 Sanning Street is right there."
Aunt Mary took out her wallet, but Qiao Qiao refused: "I have money on me."
"Take it, you can buy some daily necessities back. The prices here are also rising. It won't go wrong to buy some early..."
"OK."
Qiaoqiao accepted the 100 shillings given by Aunt Mary: "I want to take a walk outside."
Not only did she send a letter, she also wanted to find a way to see Lu Li.
"But the food is almost ready."
An old voice came from the kitchen, and Aunt Rosanne wearing an apron came out holding a spoon.
Qiaoqiao apologized a little: "I'm a little seasick, just leave it to me."
"Young people should get familiar with the neighborhood." Aunt Mary said for Qiao Qiao.
"Does Qiao Qiao know anyone on Queen's Island?" Aunt Luo Shan asked.
Qiao Qiao shook her head.
"There have been a lot of outsiders coming to the island recently, and the police station can't handle it..." Aunt Luo Shan was worried.
"Don't worry, Aunt Luo Shan, I am a girl who grew up in a slum."
Or someone who experienced the Shadow Swamp God incident.
He is also accompanied by an exorcist who is known as the person who sounds the death knell of the evil god.
Aunt Mary agreed to let her come back before it started to get dark.
Seeing Qiao Qiao going out, Aunt Luo Shan said worriedly: "It's really unsafe for a girl to run outside."
"Qiaoqiao is not that weak. She was the one taking care of me on the boat. Don't worry, Aunt Luo Shan..."
The conversation in the living room continues, and the breeze blows the curtains.
…
"Lu Li, are you still there?"
Qiao Qiao asked in a low voice on the stone road street, and then felt the wind blowing on her palms in her pockets.
Feeling relieved, Jojo first went to the post office at the end of the street, hung up the parchment and sent it by express delivery - it was expected to be delivered to Belfast within a month.
Qiaoqiao learned about the exorcists around him through inquiries and planned to visit the nearest one.
The three major organizations also exist, but strangely, their reputation among locals is not good...
In front of the first exorcist's house, Qiao Qiao knocked on the door.
An old man opened the door. Qiaoqiao hesitated slightly and followed the old exorcist into the house.
Compared to Qiao Qiao's hesitation, Lu Li believed that he could help solve his own problems. The older the real exorcists, the more valuable they are - because they master the knowledge itself.
"I want to know how to see ghosts."
Qiao Qiao asked directly without wasting any time. When the old exorcist asked for the reason, she replied: "My brother is dead, but I feel that he is by my side..."
The old exorcist's cloudy eyes swept around: "That's his luck, he will leave as time goes by..."
"I want to see it."
"Child, you are harming yourself and your brother by doing this... Now he is just a ghost that can disappear at any time. Being seen by you means that he has become a ghost, and you will be hurt if you come into contact with him..."
"I understand everything you said." Qiao Qiao replied firmly.
But no matter what, the old exorcist didn't want to tell him how.
Qiaoqiao had no choice but to reveal the truth: "His name is Lu Li. He personally killed the evil god in Allen Peninsula a month ago, but I don't know why he died and found me... I want to know the reason."
"The exorcist who sounded the death knell of the evil god?" The old exorcist said Lu Li's title in surprise: "I know him..."
Lu Li felt some nostalgia, but another kind of nostalgia: the old order had not yet collapsed.
The old exorcist believed Qiao Qiao and returned to the bedroom to take out a silver ring: "Take it with you and you can see your brother."
Qiaoqiao took the ring and hesitated before putting it on, but still put the men's ring on her middle finger.
She saw the illusory soul and felt sad: "You are really dead..."
"Why did you come to the Lennon Islands?"
The curious old exorcist interrupted Qiaoqiao's sentimentality.
"Because the Lennon Islands are safe."
"You came at the wrong time..."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Qiao asked, sensing something keenly.
The old exorcist just shook his head: "I don't know if that will happen... Just think of it as the ravings of a delirium old man. But if something really happens..."
"Run to higher ground."
Qiaoqiao didn't want to go back with a riddle, but he refused to tell the old exorcist no matter how he asked - because his knowledge was also limited, and he just felt uneasy out of intuition.
This cast a haze on Jojo, who came to the Lennon Islands to start a new life.
When Qiao Qiao was about to leave, the outlines of her and the old exorcist were like cracks in a mirror being shattered.
Before Lu Li could realize what happened, the cracks spread to the entire house and it suddenly shattered.
Wow – Wow –
The waves crashed against the reef, and a pure black stone lay quietly beside the cliff of the cave.
