Two hundred and fifty-eight. The second night

,!

"How should I explain this to Mary Poppins?"

The truth cannot be told directly. Jojo is not Anna, and trusting each other is not enough to make Mary Poppins believe the absurd truth.

【Give her a ring】

But Lu Li, who has a special relationship with Anna, can.

"Jojo?"

Surprised whispers suddenly sounded, and Qiao Qiao looked up at Aunt Mary on the stairs. She clutched the necklace worriedly, looked at the shredded paper scattered in front of Qiao Qiao, and heard her talking to the air.

"Anna, is that you?"

Qiao Qiao shook her head: "No, it's Mr. Lu Li."

"Lu Li?"

Qiao Qiao stood under the stairs, and Lu Li took off the ring in a state of confusion: "This ring allows you to see him."

"Why?"

Aunt Mary couldn't understand, or she didn't realize that Lu Li was dead.

"Because Mr. Lu Li...is dead."

"Where's Anna? Didn't she protect you? Is she by your side?"

Aunt Mary hurried down the stairs, the straps of her nightgown slipped from her shoulders, she grabbed the ring and put it on her finger. She saw the transparent silhouette floating on the edge of the table.

"Oh no...what happened..."

The sad Aunt Mary slumped down on the sofa, covering her lips and her eyes were red.

Lu Li couldn't tell Aunt Mary the truth, nor could he.

Qiaoqiao sat next to her and comforted her softly. When Mary Aunt's mood eased, Lu Li blew up pieces of paper and asked Qiaoqiao to tell her about the troubles facing the Lennon Islands.

"Is the situation serious?"

The whirlwind lingered on the shredded paper, picking out the words that Lu Li thought were appropriate.

[extreme, terrible]

The entire Lennon Islands were destroyed.

Aunt Mary did not doubt Lu Li and was about to take off the ring, but suddenly paused: "Can you tell me Anna's current situation?"

Shreds of paper flew around, and a complete sentence was pieced together:

【She disappeared】

A piece of news that is neither good nor bad.

The silent Aunt Mary took off the ring and gave it back to Qiao Qiao: "It will be more useful for you to carry it than for me. I will tell Aunt Roxanne the news."

Pulling up the laces, Aunt Mary thought of something: "Qiaoqiao, can you help me find some clothes that are convenient for movement?"

"It's all in the suitcase and I haven't had time to take it out yet," Qiao Qiao said quickly.

After asking Qiao Qiao to pack the things he wanted to take away, Lu Li walked through the roof beams and appeared on the roof.

Gray smoke rises from the chimney next to you, and in the distance the city of Tambur continues to be bustling with lights.

But there is an ominous atmosphere brewing beneath the bustling surface. As Lu Li rises to about a height, he sees that the southeastern part of "Queen's Island" is dark and lightless.

A few dozen minutes ago, there were only a few streets.

You must seize the time.

Lu Li returned to the house. Aunt Mary and Qiao Qiao had already packed their luggage, put on portable clothes, and at the same time persuaded Aunt Roxanne.

However, when the old man walked out of the house, he was still complaining: "We should stay, it must be the rebels."

Aunt Mary shook her head because she found that the patrolling soldier had disappeared for more than ten minutes.

And just as they pushed open the fence door with their suitcases and came to the street, Lu Li, who was floating in the sky, saw the darkness spreading towards the city at a speed visible to the naked eye, and arrived at Shaning Street in a short ten seconds.

"Planck is a nice young man. If something really happens, he won't fail to tell you——"

The extinguished street lights at the end of the street interrupted Aunt Roxanne's words. Darkness quickly spread. The street lights beside the street where they were standing flickered, and the remaining faint light was extinguished.

Queen's Island fell into silence.

As darkness falls on Sanning Street, other senses become sharper. People on the street can gradually hear the tide brought by the sea breeze, hear the whine from the treetops, and hear the rushing church bells faintly echoing in the distance.

Check -

Qiao Qiao lit the match, which turned into an oil lamp and dispelled the darkness around her.

Qiao Qiao looked up at Lu Li who was falling back. He nodded and realized that it had begun.

"Let's go quickly..." Qiaoqiao said according to the previous plan: "Go to the beach."

The Lennon Islands are deeply rooted in people's hearts as a place of refuge. Aunt Roxanne stubbornly believed that this was just a power outage, but she still followed them into the woods and followed the paths in the woods to get closer to the coast.

Aunt Luo Shan slowed them down, so Lu Li temporarily left the team and headed to the beach to find a suitable boat.

The interview in "The Tragedy of the Lennon Islands" may be seriously distorted, regardless of the fisherman's description or the close distance the fisherman came to, but one thing can be confirmed, he did indeed stay briefly offshore of the "Queen's Island".

This is their chance. As long as they get on the wooden boat and leave the island offshore, Lu Li will be able to save them from the nightmare.

However, Lu Li wandered along the forested coastline for several miles and was unable to find a wooden boat. The only wooden boat he found that was stranded had a rotten bottom and would sink before it even sailed out of the shoal.

As Lu Li approached the port, he felt evil spirits surging in the darkness.

Queen's Harbor has been infected.

The abominable things were crawling and squirming in the darkness. Lu Li had to fly high into the sky to shake them off to avoid bringing trouble to Qiao Qiao and the others.

Returning to the coastline, Lu Li merged with the light spots on the edge of the dark woods.

Qiao Qiao waved to the fallen Lu Li: "Have you found the ship?"

Lu Li shook his head.

"No ship? How is it possible..."

Qiao Qiao grew up in Belfast. It is impossible for the beach near the harbor to be without wooden boats, unless...

Qiaoqiao raised her head and looked into those black eyes.

The soft brown sand is covered with messy footprints and drag marks.

There may be more than one contributor to the Lennon Islands’ demise…

Lu Li's raised hand brought Qiao Qiao back to her senses, and she looked in the direction he was pointing - the lighthouse standing on the edge of the reef.

It should be higher than the Queen's Palace.

"Let's go to the lighthouse!"

Jojo said, and Aunt Mary helped Aunt Susan get closer to the lighthouse.

Surprisingly, when they arrived, there were already some people gathered here.

"Old Hunter, Dolly's family are here too, and our little genius Rachel..."

Aunt Rosanne knew them, which meant they were all nearby neighbors.

Lu Li observed the luggage and clothing of these people, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com was a group of middle class people who would not lack resources, but also would not have too much information.

And they also know this weird reminder: "Run to higher ground."

Qiaoqiao and the others approached the crowd and found that they were blocked by the lighthouse administrator. A woman was still explaining patiently to the stubborn administrator.

Lu Li couldn't help at this time.

Feeling that the crisis was approaching, Qiaoqiao squeezed into the crowd and interrupted their conversation, saying directly: "You have nothing to lose by letting us hide in the lighthouse, and if there are really...rebels, you have saved us all!"

"Okay...but when the soldiers come, you have to leave immediately."

The administrator no longer insisted and opened the lighthouse door.

"Let's go in quickly."

Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Aunt Mary helped Aunt Rosanne into the quiet lighthouse that was sheltered from the wind and lit with oil lamps.

Obviously, high places cannot really shelter them, but can only be used as a temporary refuge.

But now, they are safe, for now.
