There is no doubt that the figure with the beak mask belongs to the human camp, and is an almost radical part. At least Hades or the unknown trainee investigator Seeker will not immediately want to eliminate Anna when they see her.
As for her identity, it is impossible to tell. She does not have a psychic gun, so she may not be an exorcist, and the night watchman will not break into this place alone.
Could it be an investigator?
It's a pity that she is not Hades or a seeker of knowledge, otherwise Lu Li could have stopped her and asked some questions.
"She's quite a nice person." Anna suddenly spoke, her tone of voice filled with undisguised admiration.
Lu Li looked sideways, silently watching the ghost girl praise the beak-masked figure who almost killed him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Although there was a little misunderstanding and a little conflict...but you see she helped us a lot, right?" Anna, who has a strange brain circuit, said with her fingers. "The invitation was sent by the thing in the swamp.
Being taken away by her means that she goes to the appointment on our behalf, and the price is just that she wants to eliminate me..."
Lu Li watched Anna chattering quietly and sighed inconspicuously.
He saw something was wrong with Anna's emotions.
"Isn't it normal for exorcists to want to eliminate ghosts? It's nothing, it's nothing..."
Anna's voice became smaller and smaller, her head lowered, and after a dull moment, intermittent sad whispers sounded.
"Are ghosts really dangerous... Why are ordinary people afraid of us, and exorcists also want to eliminate us..."
"K."
Lu Li's answer made Anna raise her head suddenly.
Although she knew that Lu Li was always direct and almost venomous, she still felt uncomfortable when Lu Li said this. His chest felt sore and numb, as if he had been punched. Even if he was attacked by a figure with a beak mask, he would not feel this way.
Then, Anna raised her head and saw Lu Li staring to the side with a strange look.
Anna, whose attention was easily diverted, looked subconsciously and found that what Lu Li was staring at was just the legs of a wooden table.
"...?" Anna tilted her head quietly.
Lu Li watched as dense tentacles sprouted from the legs of the table, wriggling like seaweed, and said again: "But that's not important."
"You should have heard that the biggest difference between us and beasts is wisdom. But actually there is another thing, which is complex emotions."
The tentacles growing out of the table legs gradually dispersed like bubbles. Lu Li withdrew his gaze and looked at the stunned Anna: "Humans are not afraid of ghosts, but the unknown."
"Unknown..." Anna subconsciously muttered this word.
"Human beings are usually very resistant and wary of unfamiliar things, especially dangerous things. This is unavoidable. This is true even between people. Tigers will be killed when they appear near humans, and sharks will be killed when they appear near humans.
People will be killed near fishing boats, some for profit and some simply because they are in danger."
Anna gradually began to fail to understand Lu Li's words. He was always like this, saying things that she didn't understand but seemed important and philosophical.
It seems that he is cultivating himself to think and live independently.
Fortunately, Lu Li often brings up the topic at the end, letting Anna understand what Lu Li wants to express: "Most of them want to hurt you for no other reason than that you might hurt them."
"So, prove yourself harmless, or make yourself strong enough."
After saying these words, Lu Li looked away again, this time falling into the bonfire.
The flames in the fire formed a ring, forming a fiery red beast with vertical pupils. Anna, who was also sitting in front of the fire, was indifferent to this scene.
The vertical pupil stared at Lu Li coldly for a few seconds, and then disappeared without a trace.
Becoming stronger...
Anna murmured in her heart.
Yes... As long as you become stronger, you can ignore those who want to harm you. As long as you become stronger, you can help Lu Li and stand in front of him to block all troubles for him...
The translucent fists in her sleeves gradually clenched, and Anna wanted to shout: "I'm not weak anymore, Lu Li!"
But it was difficult to speak because of shame.
"Then it's up to you."
Lu Li's voice suddenly came to mind, and Anna was startled: "Eh? Me... me? Uh... um..."
She was embarrassed and a little secretly happy at the same time. What, when did this guy start talking nice and coaxing people.
Nervously, he raised his eyes and took a peek at Lu Li, only to find that this guy was once again looking at the bed in the corner with a similar look of concentration.
From Anna's perspective, there is only a pile of victims' clothes piled up in a mess.
In Lu Li's eyes, two shirts stood up from the pile of clothes, waving their sleeves and hitting each other, as if there were invisible beings wearing them to fight.
This trip to Shadow Town made Lu Li exposed to the psychic gun for a desperate period of time.
In Belfast, Lu Li's direct contact with the psychic gun under his control did not exceed ten seconds.
But just the two evil spirit rituals he encountered in Shadow Town took Lu Li at least thirty seconds. After walking into the swamp, it also took about thirty seconds.
In just one day, Lu Li was in direct contact with the psychic gun for more than one minute.
Normal, hallucination, crazy.
Among the three stages of sanity, Lu Li is already in the yellow stage.
At this time, only Lu Li could observe the endless hallucinations.
The only good news is that the negative effects of the psychic gun are not irreversible and irreversible falling into the abyss as Hades said.
Although the sanity value recovers very slowly.
In any case, the psychic gun and other similar items are temporarily unavailable.
This is why Lu Li said that he must rely on Anna next.
Anna floated out of the wooden house and glanced at the sky, then returned to the fire and muttered: "It's as dark as night outside, and I don't know how long it will last."
"Have there been such storms in the past few years?" Lu Li asked her.
Anna tilted her head and thought for a while: "Yes, but not as scary as now, like the end of the world..."
The storm is coming from the east, which is the direction of Belfast. If this dark cloud is big enough, maybe Belfast will be plunged into the same darkness at this moment.
It seems that cities are gradually becoming unsafe...
The storm will not dissipate for the time being, so Lu Li plans to use the wooden house as a shelter for the time being and rest until the storm subsides.
Of course Anna would not object and stood up and said that she would be the guard.
The idea of becoming stronger and protecting Lu Li took root in her heart.
Lu Li nodded and said nothing. He put his woolen coat, which was still damp and warm from the heat, under his body and curled up next to the fire.
It was with his back to Anna.
It had nothing to do with trust - it was just that someone was watching Lu Li and couldn't rest.
"Are you asleep?"
After some time passed, Anna tried in a low voice.
"No."
"Thinking about something?"
"Um."
Hopefully those things in the swamp can be fooled.
Lu Li thought.
In the quiet and peaceful warm wooden house, his breathing gradually became calmer.
