Since he understood that it was difficult to recover his true sanity, Lu Li no longer used the method of briefly touching the psychic gun to sense his surroundings to check his surroundings.
Use a little less sanity.
Anna took over the detective job. Although it was of little use, it was better than nothing.
The curtains in the kitchen and living room were drawn one after another, and only the dim light from the oil lamps in the living room and bedroom was left in the detective agency.
Anna was lying on the bed holding a book, reading with relish. Reading in dark light is not good for the eyes - except for ghosts.
At nine-thirty in the evening, it was almost time to go to bed. Anna heard the sound of Lu Li going out and came back a few minutes later. She took off her coat and walked into the kitchen to wash up. The sound of water running stopped for a while, footsteps came to the living room, and then the sofa leather made a sound.
Rubbing sounds, rustling of clothing.
Lu Li was lying on the sofa, covered with a woolen coat, and his arms were placed in front of his forehead, making his eyes hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.
Tick-tick-tick-
In the silence, the sound of the alarm clock on the desk was faintly heard. Occasionally, a strange scream came from nowhere and sounded outside the window.
In the space under the sofa, the vicious pus-yellow compound eyes flashed away. In the corridor outside the detective agency, scaly claws quietly stretched out from under the door.
"Good night." Anna said to the outside where there was no more sound.
No answer.
Silence flows in the room.
…
July 11, 5 o'clock sharp.
The gloomy sky gradually brightened over the sea, dispersing the darkness of the night.
Along with the horizon, there is also the subtle sound of the neighbor next door getting up.
Anna, who had been reading all night, twitched her ears and looked up at the living room. The sound of a neighbor opening the door came from the corridor outside. When morning came, the residents woke up and prepared to light the fire and cook.
laugh--
If there was almost no sound of cooking coming from outside the corridor, this kind of life atmosphere was what Anna yearned for. She listened quietly for a while, then remembered something, closed the book, turned over and jumped out of bed, staggering a little, her bare feet not making a sound.
The sound ran to the living room.
Lu Li was lying on the sofa, breathing slowly with his eyes closed, and he hadn't woken up yet.
After confirming that Lu Li was still sleeping, Anna quietly turned off the two oil lamps as usual, then approached the sofa, leaned over and pulled the curtains.
Wow——
The curtains made some noise when they were pulled horizontally. Anna secretly glanced at Lu Li on the sofa below. When she saw that his eyes were open, she remained calm and continued to slowly pull the curtains, pretending not to know anything.
Ten seconds passed, twenty seconds passed, thirty seconds passed...
Anna seemed to be passing time differently than her surroundings, and she was closing the curtains inch by inch.
"I'm going to get up."
After waiting quietly for a minute, Lu Li spoke.
"Ah? Oh..."
With a strange feeling of shame and loss on her face, Anna opened the remaining curtains at once and slowly left the sofa.
Lu Li sat up, took off his coat, put on his shoes and opened the door.
The noise in the corridor suddenly amplified. The sound of cooking and the loud voices of children briefly entered the detective agency, and were blocked by the closed door. Not long after, Lu Li came back, walked into the kitchen, washed up, returned to the desk and sat down.
He saw the book fastened to the bedside in the bedroom and asked Anna, who was lying on the sofa and watering the flowers in the flower pot on the window sill: "Have you still not slept all night?"
"It's very dangerous at night now, and you're resting again. In order to protect you, of course I have to stay awake at night." Anna could only write "Hurry up and praise me" written on her face.
Lu Li nodded, but as expected, there was no follow-up response.
Anna, who was used to it, didn't care and continued to water the flower pots.
The tulip left by Lu Li had long since withered and withered. Anna felt sad for a while and focused all her energy on the flower pot.
In order to make something grow inside, Anna once asked Lu Li to buy various seeds, including but not limited to weeds, flowers, tree seeds, and vegetables.
Although not a single bud has emerged from the soil until now.
The scene of a beautiful girl calmly watering flowers in front of the window was so beautiful that passers-by couldn't help but smile knowingly when they saw it. The reflection on the glass made it difficult for them to notice the transparent figure of the girl behind the window.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew from the sky and hit the window. Anna was so frightened that she fell back, fell to the ground and shouted.
Lu Li raised his black eyes and saw Anna pointing out the window with a shocked look on her face: "There is a crow!"
…
Click——
The window that had been covered with dust for a long time was opened by Lu Li, and the dust in the gap was blown into the detective agency by the cold wind and rain outside, along with the crow that jumped into the window sill.
The dust blowing towards her face made Anna subconsciously squint her eyes.
Lu Li closed the window again and the detective agency calmed down.
This crow is as black as coal, with only its talons gripping the edge of the potted plant dark brown. Its feathers, covered with morning dew and rain, have a sheen of oil, and a letterbox is tied to its leg.
The investigator's companion, Crow.
Lu Li stretched out his hand, but the crow did not dodge, and Lu Li was allowed to take out the small note rolled up in the mailbox.
[Circumstances of strange appearances in real libraries in Belfast have now been clarified]
[The strange thing that appeared in the real library on July 10 was a new type of evil spirit that had not yet been discovered. It had already left when the exorcists went to deal with it. At the same time, traces of the weirdness were found in the real library, confirming its existence. 】
[This information has been recorded. Lu Li, as the discoverer of this anomaly, you will receive the internal reward of 'Contribution*50' from the investigator organization. You can choose to send the specific information of this contact through the investigator base or black
Give it to the investigator organization, and the investigator organization will give you corresponding contribution rewards based on the information.】
The investigation department handled the case surprisingly quickly.
"Wait for me." Lu Li closed the note and said to Crow, turned around and walked to the desk, tearing off a page from the notebook.
He planned to follow the advice in the letter and hand over the information he knew to investigators.
Anna did not leave the window. She stared at the black crow without blinking. She tilted her head slightly and whispered to the desk: "Lu Lili~ What do crows eat?"
"Omnivores can eat anything from humans to crows."
Lu Li said without raising his head.
"Where's the bread?"
"Can."
Anna sneaked into the kitchen with an excited look, and soon came out with the leftover bread from last night, broke off a small piece, held it in the palm of her hand, and stretched it timidly towards the crow.
Anna looked eager for contact, but also looked cute and afraid of being pecked by crows.
The black crow standing on the edge of the flower pot turned its head, its throat squirmed, and its black eyes looked at Anna.
Anna stopped, unable to overcome her fear of being pecked, and placed the crumbs on the table next to her.
The crow tilted its head and looked at it for a while, then jumped from the flower pot to the back of the sofa, leaving wet paw prints and jumped onto the dining table. It lowered its head and pecked at the bread crumbs, and then devoured them separately.
