The fire burned quietly, and the atmosphere in the wooden house became depressing.
Some beings living in the swamp sent Lu Li this invitation.
Whether this was the source of the warning that "the swamp can hear things that don't belong to it" is unknown, but it can be predicted that the party was definitely full of dangers.
It seems that after entering the swamp, the level of danger and weirdness begins to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Let's ignore it..."
Anna couldn't think of a reason to go there. It looked like a road to death.
"Well, if that's okay."
Lu Li closed the invitation and put it aside instead of throwing it into the fire.
Who's to say that the destruction of the invitation won't trigger something weird to happen.
"Why do you say that?"
Whether it was an illusion or not, Anna could hear a hint of pessimism in Lu Li's words.
Lu Li raised his black eyes, and the firelight and Anna's reflection appeared in his dark eyes: "This is their territory. From the moment they discover me, it means that my purpose has become irrelevant."
That invitation was sent by things in the swamp, which meant that they were not afraid of Lu Li not leaving.
Anna finally realized the seriousness of the problem and said worriedly: "We will leave when the rain subsides, and ignore this bloody tentacle..."
Lu Li shook his head. It was no longer a problem with the bloody tentacles. Not long after he killed the wooden house family, something in the swamp sent an invitation, which was enough to explain something.
Since coming to this world, Lu Li has adjusted his expectations for the weirdness of this world countless times, but now it seems that he is still conservative.
"What should we do?"
Lu Li said calmly: "Keep moving forward, deal with the bloody tentacles and leave immediately, if it's still too late."
No matter what he faced, Lu Li's calm expression infected Anna, and she gradually became less nervous - until the knock on the door rang again.
Knock knock knock——
A slow mechanical knock sounded outside the door.
Lu Li and Anna looked at each other, touched the psychic gun, and looked out the door.
This wooden house in the woods deep in the Shadow Swamp suddenly became busy and lively.
After entering the psychic gun's perception, Lu Li suddenly frowned and said to Anna, who was staring at him with questioning eyes: "There is no malice, it has the aura of the same origin."
Several auras were scattered on the being behind the door, which seemed to be human.
Exorcist? Or Night Watchman or Investigator.
Homogenous objects will cause greater damage to ghosts than entities, so as to prevent Anna from getting hurt, Lu Li, who was only wearing a shirt and shorts, stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door.
The cold moisture rushed towards his face, and Lu Li's pupils suddenly shrank.
A black figure with a human body and a bird's head stood behind the door, its dark and huge eyes staring at him.
The shrunken eyes gradually recovered, Lu Li frowned and said, "Who are you?"
It was a tall figure wearing a beak mask with a long beak. The wide-brimmed hat on the top of his head was integrated with the mask. He was covered in a pitch-black waterproof robe, which reflected light under the oil lamp held in his palm.
This image reminded Lu Li of the plague doctors in Europe during the Middle Ages on Earth. The same beak masks and mysterious costumes exuded an aura of ominousness and death.
The figure in the beak mask did not answer. The eyes behind the dark lenses sewn on the mask seemed to be staring at Lu Li.
When he received no answer, Lu Li remained affectionate, but his left hand holding the door began to use force to close the door.
"passer."
The hoarse female voice passed through the beak mask, became dull, and sounded from behind the door.
The door is still closed.
Snapped--
The palm of his animal skin glove pressed against the door.
"Want to take shelter from the rain."
…
A piece of dry wood is thrown into the fire, and sparks boil with the flames.
laugh……
A drop of rainwater fell from the tip of the bird's beak and landed on the stones outside the fire, where it was roasted and evaporated.
Even after entering the wooden house, the figure with the beak mask had no intention of speaking or taking off the mask.
Anna floated next to Lu Li, fearful and curious as she looked at the beak masked figure sitting opposite.
The bird's beak mask tilted slightly to the side. Lu Li turned his head and looked at the psychic gun placed beside him.
Did you recognize it?
"Thanks."
Perhaps because of the psychic gun, the figure in the beak mask said the first words after entering the wooden house.
The voice blocked by the mask was still dull and hoarse, but it could be distinguished that it was a female voice. The voice heard outside the door before was not an hallucination.
"You're welcome, this is not my house." Lu Li replied.
The petrified corpse kneeling in prayer and the corpses and debris of the family were still piled outside the door. It was impossible not to see the figure in the beak mask.
The brief conversation ended and the cabin fell into dead silence again.
Anna started to feel awkward.
The atmosphere looks so uncomfortable...
The howling wind outside could not make the atmosphere natural. This strange stalemate lasted for a while and was finally broken when Lu Li picked up the kettle.
Due to the humidity brought by opening the door just now, coupled with the excessive use of the psychic gun, Lu Li's body temperature has not returned to normal levels.
"I'll get the clothes."
Anna said, carefully walking around the beak masked figure, picked up Lu Li's woolen windbreaker hanging behind the door, turned around and fluttered it.
At this moment, the figure in the bird's beak mask suddenly moved.
She stood up, raised her hand and pulled out a dark umbrella from behind, and stabbed Anna!
Lu Li also picked up the psychic gun at this moment and pointed it at the beak mask.
The beak mask is just sewn from leather and has zero protection against bullets.
"She is a ghost." Umbrella stopped in front of Anna's chest, and the figure in the bird's beak mask whispered.
"But it won't hurt anyone."
"Will do."
"You have three seconds, if you don't let go of Anna, shoot." Lu Li's tone changed to indifferent, emotionless, and he spoke concisely.
"one."
"She is a ghost." The beak masked figure repeated again.
"three."
Lu Li's finger pulled the trigger.
"Another crazy man."
The figure in the bird's beak mask cursed lowly, lowered his arms unwillingly, and moved the tip of the umbrella.
Lu Li was indifferent, watching the frightened Anna return to his side, and then dropped the psychic gun that was so cold that it was almost hot to the touch.
Suddenly, Lu Li turned his head and looked at the window. He felt a figure leaning out of the window and peering out, but in fact there was nothing - because the window had been boarded up.
Lu Li's sanity had dropped to the edge of hallucinations.
"Who sent it?" the beak masked figure asked.
"Who sent it?" Lu Li replied.
"Invitation."
"Things from the swamp."
"can you give me."
Lu Li paused for a moment, then picked up the invitation beside him and threw it at the beak-masked figure: "Take it."
The beak masked figure put away the invitation, picked up the oil lamp at his feet, and turned to leave.
Rainwater poured into the wooden house, and the figure with the beak mask stopped walking, and for the first time he spoke more words: "Leave as soon as possible, this swamp is becoming unwelcome to you."
Bang.
The door closed, and the figure in the bird's beak mask disappeared behind the door.
"what happened……?"
Anna couldn't react to the sudden changes one after another.
"Perhaps she is here just for the invitation."
Lu Li answered, looking as if through the door, looking at the figure walking deeper into the jungle.
