Ten o'clock in the morning during the rainy season is like six o'clock in the morning. It's just dawn and a little cold.
After breakfast, the atmosphere of the detective agency became like afternoon, a bit leisurely and lazy.
Rainy days always make people lazy and make them want to curl up in bed and remain motionless.
Lu Li only ate half of the broth, not letting himself be full. For food that doesn't taste that wonderful, the difference between being hungry and not being hungry will make it taste better.
Who knew Anna would put the sugar that had been in the kitchen for who knows how long as salt into the broth?
The bag of sea salt I bought was placed in a very conspicuous place.
The incident at the laundry and the food gave today a bad start, but in any case, the crisis was gone for the time being, and I could finally calm down for a while.
Although it's only temporary.
The whole morning was uneventful, except for the newsboy who appeared with today's newspaper. The contents were still mainly about hurricanes, and the entire Principality of Allen Peninsula, which was affected by the hurricane, was busy. The towns were maintaining law and order under their jurisdiction, and the nobles were patrolling themselves.
territories and industries, civilians repaired their destroyed homes, and the Council of Elders was busy naming the hurricane.
Secondly, there was the incident of the missing Kodak Sirson. Strangely, people discovered that the connection between the farmland and the farm had been completed.
It is not only the Immortal Giant that has lost contact, but also the continent of Cultivated Garden.
Some conspiracy theorists believe that Arable Garden is plotting war, and some pessimists believe that Arable Garden has been occupied by ghosts and there are no survivors. Currently, the Principality of the Lennon Islands, which is closest to Arable Garden, has dispatched naval ships to sail along the route of the Kodak Sirson
The route is forward and it is expected to arrive at the location where the Kodak Sirson last disappeared in two days.
There may be people from three major organizations on the ship sent out.
Lu Li thought to himself.
There are endless weirdness and weirdness, and no matter how firm the materialism is, it will change your views, especially in this world where industry is just budding.
Even though the two major news groups are competing against each other, Baron Joseph's entertainment news still firmly occupies one section.
Reports indicate that the trial has entered the evidence stage, and the evidence provided by the plaintiff is very unfavorable to Baron Joseph.
This is why she has no time to harass Lu Li these days.
perhaps.
Knock knock knock——
A knock on the door interrupted Lu Li's reading. He looked at Anna who was lying on the end of the bed reading. Lu Li put down the newspaper, got up and went to the door to open the door.
The postman in dark green uniform delivered three letters.
After closing the door and returning to the desk, he opened the envelope. The names of the senders of the letters were: Baron Joseph, Mrs. Slav, and Anna.
Lu Li raised his dark eyes, glanced at Anna who was concentrating on reading on the bed in the bedroom, and then looked at the three letters on the table.
The contents of Baron Joseph and Mrs. Slav are very identifiable. The former used several 100 shillings of Macdonald II's face folded into a heart shape, while the latter's perfumed letter paper was filled with gorgeous and sensual love words.
What will Anna's envelope contain, a confession about the bad food?
Lu Li thought and took out the letter.
The letter paper was strange, as if it had been torn from a book. The edges were uneven, and there was something written in clumsy handwriting on the back.
Lu Li turned to the back of the paper and looked at the few lines of scrawled writing.
[...Some adults said that there seems to be some kind of swamp ahead... What is a swamp?]
[April 12th. I was very sad... I didn’t know what happened. My father and mother rushed in in a panic and hugged me. They took me and ran into the woods. The ground was very wet. Is this a swamp? There are many here
Bugs, luckily we found the house before dark. It was a family of three like us, and there was a little boy!】
The diary was interrupted for a few days, and the handwriting began to change.
[April 15th. My mother told me that this is called a diary. You can write in it and write down whatever you want. I want to eat big...]
The familiar content brought Lu Li's memory back to the wooden house deep in the swamp.
The contents on the paper are those in Xiao Ruina's diary, and the handwriting is the same.
Maybe it was torn from that diary.
Silently turning the letter to the front, Lu Li looked at the first line.
The beautiful handwriting is connected together, and the urgency of the person who wrote these contents can be felt between the lines.
[Lu Li, if you receive this letter, be sure not to read it around "Anna"! 】
Anna looked away from the letter and towards the bedroom with the door open.
Anna lay on the bed without realizing it, shaking her calves casually, as if she was still leaning on something.
[Escape quickly, to a place where no one can find you! Especially a place where "I" can't be found!]
[When you are safe, then look at the content below. Remember, you must not let her... no, it is "me". You must not let "me" see the content of the letter! 】
[You are so smart, you must have guessed... Yes, I am Anna. I... I was left here, in that wooden house in the swamp. 】
[I don’t know why this happened. Do you remember when you were resting because of the storm? You were resting with your back to me. Then suddenly something rushed towards me. I flew out and saw my own ghost...
...I don't know how to describe this scene, it's like...I died again, and then I became the ghost of a ghost. But this time it was far more terrifying than the last death, because I saw my own ghost...had
consciousness.】
[That was definitely not me! I saw the flash of red light and violence in her eyes, which was very unfamiliar... She... was she the Mother of the Swamp!?]
[I don’t know who the ghost that occupies me is, but she didn’t hurt you. When you wake up, I will understand that she is approaching you and she is playing me!!!]
[I tried hard to call you, but you couldn’t hear anything...]
[I watched helplessly as you and the being who occupied my body left, came back, rested for a few hours, and left before dark.]
[You didn’t find anything. You thought “I” was me and left me alone in the cabin...]
[The woman with the beak saved me. She could actually see me. I asked them to send this letter. I think they will agree. The woman with the beak is actually a good person. 】
[I know you believe in "me", and I have a way to make you believe that what I said is right. Do you remember? Our past, and the things you told me. The arms of the sculpture fell while helping us in the gallery.
Damn it, you told me that the "Gate" is affecting you and that there is a bloody tentacle in your head. We went to Shadow Swamp just to get rid of the tentacle. The most important purpose is to find Richard and find ways to get rid of the "Gate" and the "Tentacle"
"method.】
[Don’t come to me. By the time you read this letter, I will probably have been sacrificed to the Swamp Mother. I...I don’t know what else to say. I thought I would be panicked because I
I was going to die. I thought I would be calm because I had already died once.]
