[You mentioned in your letter that there may be a way to solve my sanity problem, which is what I urgently need. If you can receive the letter, I hope you have a great time and can get to Belfast as soon as possible. ]
【I'm waiting for you here.】
【Lu Li.】
Lu Li was as direct and concise as ever.
Fold the letter paper, put it in an envelope, and give it to the postman along with the 10 shilling stamp fee.
The postman stuck a stamp on the envelope, took out the seal and stamped the seal with wax, said goodbye and left the longhouse.
Click——
Wooden door closed.
Anna appeared beside her and couldn't wait to ask: "Aren't they fictitious existences?"
"So I just give it a try, if for some reason they really appear." Lu Li returned to his desk and sat down, putting away the used pen.
"They are my only chance to regain my sanity."
Anna stumbled and asked: "Then... then Tesla agrees to you staying?"
Her mood was a little strange.
"Just no rejection."
Perhaps because of Lu Li's persistence, or perhaps because Lu Li had just become a trainee investigator, Tesla temporarily forgot this content.
But if Lu Li's body has any problems later, he will immediately order Lu Li to recuperate.
He even pointedly told Lu Li about the remuneration of retired investigators: the minimum weekly salary is the same as that of trainee investigators, 350 shillings, and the salary will change with the price and exchange rate.
Lu Li doesn't plan to retire just yet, at least not until he gets the information he wants and makes enough money.
The appearance of the postman and the interlude between Remy and his sister interrupted Anna. She didn't know where to continue to stop Lu Li, so she could only follow his situation and ask: "I remember that a trainee investigator needs to complete an incident before he can become a regular employee.
,and you……"
"Yeah. I'll prepare to become a regular employee."
"But it's dangerous!" Anna, who had calmed down a little, couldn't control her emotions. She suddenly reached out and tried to take away the psychic gun from Lu Li's waist.
Lu Li pushed his feet gently, and the wooden chair fell backwards, leaning against the bookcase with his legs for support.
After dodging Anna's sudden attack, Lu Li looked up at her: "I have a sense of discretion and will not overuse it."
"You've overused it!"
"That's why I have a sense of proportion."
Anna was always speechless under Lu Li's seemingly reasonable sophistry.
"Like Tesla, I don't understand your purpose of doing this..." A trace of sadness appeared in Anna's eyes. The sadness also appeared when she learned the news of her mother's death during the period when she was staying in the portrait.
Lu Li nodded: "There are things I can tell you. You know my goals, understand how bad the world is and how long it can last, and then make preparations. The things we need will not be automatically placed on the door after dawn.
Outer corridor.”
"But you are just an ordinary person! Saving the world should be done by those bastard congressmen and other bullshit organizations!"
Anna's outburst came so suddenly. She completely abandoned her ladylikeness and etiquette, spoke rude words like a reckless man, and shouted at Lu Li with red eyes.
"Why! Why don't each of you do what you can do, and always think about those impossible things, those things that you shouldn't do by yourself. So are you! So is my mother! You are all a bunch of idiots!"
Tears welled up in his eyes, but disappeared without a trace the moment they ran down his cheeks and fell to the ground.
She covered her face and sobbed loudly, venting all the emotions she had accumulated since her death.
"I already...don't want to lose anyone anymore..."
A cold and uncomfortable aura spread out from Anna's body, and her aura began to become unfamiliar.
"Calm down, Anna."
Lu Li felt something strange about Anna. He stood up and looked down at Anna who was covering her cheek: "It's not that serious. It's just that the sanity seems to be irrecoverable."
Lu Li's reasoning actions were meaningless and useless.
"I won't take risks without being sure."
These words seemed to have some effect, and the cold aura on Anna's body no longer spread.
But Lu Li didn't know what to say anymore. Maybe if Anna was left alone to calm down for a while, she would understand?
So Lu Li walked around the crying Anna, looked at the drizzle outside the window, picked up the umbrella by the door and walked out of the room.
Click——
The door closes behind you.
…
The pain caused by the hurricane a few days ago seems to have completely disappeared.
Sailor Street has returned to its former bustle, and the ruins of the collapsed houses have been cleared away, and new wooden houses or sturdier masonry buildings have been built in their original locations.
Some children were running in the rain on the street. Some faces were familiar and some seemed to be new. They greeted every adult and ran up and down the bluestone road.
This was the first time Lu Li went out without some purpose. This made him a little confused and could only move forward along the street.
Unknowingly, he came to the even more noisy market. Looking at the hustle and bustle and the cries of sellers, Lu Li suddenly thought that Anna seemed to like cooking very much.
Maybe cooking would make her feel better?
…
Click——
Lu Li put the keys under the blanket, opened the door and walked into the detective agency.
The damp smell of wood lingered in the detective agency, and it was quiet without a sound.
Lu Li put away his umbrella that was stained with raindrops, closed the door and walked into the living room.
The quilt in the bedroom bulged, as if something was hiding inside.
"Do you have a physical body?" Lu Li asked.
The bulging quilt remained motionless.
"I brought food back," Lu Li said.
The bulging quilt moved a little, but there was no response.
"Do you want to cook today?" Lu Li asked again.
Rustling——
The bulging quilt was silent for a few seconds, then began to squirm, and a head emerged from the quilt, sniffing.
"want."
Half an hour later.
A pot of hot soup was placed on the dining table.
Anna looked a little dull, her eyes were red, and she sat down opposite Lu Li.
"When are you going to do the event..."
Her mumbled voice was nasal.
Lu Li filled the wooden bowl with broth and answered Anna: "Not sure yet, we have to wait for the investigators to arrange the incident, but it should be soon."
"What can I do?"
"help me."
The fists under the table were clenched quietly, and Anna hummed: "I will."
Lu Li picked up the spoon and took a sip of the broth, then silently put it back into the bowl: "Where did you get the salt?"
"What's going on in that round jar...?"
"nothing."
After lunch, everything seemed to be back to normal, except that Anna was a little embarrassed when facing Lu Li.
As night fell, the detective agency turned on the oil lamp, and Lu Li lay on the sofa ready to rest.
Not long after, Anna's voice came from the bedroom.
