A few seconds after the last line of handwriting disappeared, the sound of slow footsteps began to leave, and the malicious aura disappeared with it.
The footsteps gradually became fainter until they disappeared. Lu Li allowed the presence to leave and did not pursue him.
This time, the method of "Gate" has changed. It no longer contacts Lu Li through letters - perhaps because Lu Li has ignored him, or perhaps because it is too unreasonable to receive a letter on a desert island.
The purpose of the "door" has never changed. It has always been for Lu Li to hear it, then see it, then touch it, and finally enter behind the door in the sewer.
There is no doubt about this, this is the reason why it has been fabricating lies to deceive and seduce Lu Li.
But there is also truth in lies.
For example, ghost killing will increase your strength, and if you increase your strength too quickly, you will lose your mind. Anna may really do that after receiving the letter, and there may really be a boat waiting for her on the beach.
But no matter how true it is, there are still false parts.
For example, Tesla will not send the letter to the detective agency now. For example, Anna will stay at the detective agency obediently and will not rashly go to sea to find herself.
Lu Li chose to believe in Tesla and Anna.
After ignoring the "door", the beach found peace for a short period of time.
As the burning smell gradually rose, Lu Li moved the four small fish to rocks away from the fire, grabbed one of them, and bit off half of the fish, including the tail.
The white fish meat under the burnt exterior is completely cooked and exudes aroma. The sea fish itself has a hint of salty taste, so it doesn't taste tasteless.
Lu Li chewed slowly, crushed all the fish bones, swallowed it, and put the other half including the head into his mouth.
Lu Li ate the second one as usual and kept the remaining two for tomorrow's breakfast.
If he can survive tonight successfully.
As the firelight flickered, the shadows in the depressions swayed.
Lu Li cast his shadow on the rock wall, the shadow of rocks, and the shadow of cans. The latter's shadow suddenly broke away from the body as it swayed, jumped independently, and fled out of the windproof place.
Lu Li looked slightly startled as he looked at the shadow that escaped from the can and fled to the outside world.
Wild...canned...?
The shadow of the can fled to the edge of the fire and faded away quietly like most illusions.
Under the can, a shadow swaying with the firelight reappeared, but it was no longer special, just an ordinary shadow.
If you ignore the troubles that come with hallucinations, such as misjudgment, they can still be fun at times.
After this episode, peace returned to the windbreak for a long time.
The jar at the water intake point had been full for a long time, so Lu Li did not risk going out to retrieve it.
This is a deep-sea island, and no one knows whether there are some weird and terrifying things around.
Sigh——
An invisible figure was caught by Lu Li. He lowered his head and placed the sanity counter quietly on his wrist without any movement.
It was as if the sound just now was Lu Li's illusion.
Lu Li watched the counter patiently until dozens of seconds later, the second beep sounded, indicating that it was not an illusion.
Sigh——
Tens of seconds later, a third beep sounded.
The sanity value decreases very slowly, perhaps because the source is still far away, or perhaps because the source is very weak.
Lu Li didn't know the specific value represented by the sound interval of the counter, but there was no doubt that the faster the sound, the faster the sanity value dropped.
On the boat returning the dead souls, Lu Li enjoyed the sound of gurgling every few seconds throughout the night, but Lu Li's sanity was still at the second stage, which was just a little more serious.
This shows that Lu Li's reduced sanity value at this moment is almost negligible.
The interval between the counter beeps shortened as time went by, and finally remained at half a minute.
It was already close enough, perhaps on the beach in front, because Lu Li could smell the strong fishy smell and the silt-like smell of the deep sea in the sea breeze that penetrated the windbreak point.
It's the group of beings that left flipper prints.
In a daze, Lu Li seemed to hear the faint sound of conversation, but he seemed to hear nothing.
Are you about to be discovered...
Lu Li held the handle of the gun.
The opponent's sanity will be reduced, which means that the psychic gun can cause damage.
Suddenly, the lounge chair blocking the windbreak was moved away, and Lu Li suddenly raised his psychic gun and aimed it at a figure covered in black robes.
The figure got into the windproof place, closed the deck chair, and sat down against Lu Li.
The windproof place can accommodate two people, but it has changed from spacious to slightly narrow.
"Don't you make any noise when you walk?" Lu Li put away the psychic gun again and said to Friday who came in.
"Can you hear it even when you step on the sand?"
This sentence made Lu Li slightly startled.
Maybe there was nothing behind the lounge chair, and the footsteps were actually the illusion of the "door". An illusion arranged to prevent the cautious Lu Li from rushing out.
"Why are you back?" Lu Li continued to look at Friday.
Friday replied nonchalantly: "As you said, there was something wrong with the cabin, so I came back."
"What is it?"
Friday extinguished the oil lamp, placed it sideways in the sand, and said, "It's a tough thing, don't worry, it won't be able to trouble us tonight."
Friday didn't want to go into details, so Lu Li didn't ask further questions. He looked outside the lounge chair and said, "Did you encounter them outside?"
"Who?"
Lu Li described the flipper prints he found while patrolling the coastline.
"Sounds like deep divers." Friday indeed recognized them. After calling out their names, he simply summarized: "Living in the deep sea, they are the descendants of a certain guy who cannot be named."
This explains why their flipper prints come from the sea.
Lu Li looked at the gap above, and the sand wall blocked his view.
The fishy smell that had penetrated the windbreak was dissipating, as if the deep divers had retreated into the sea.
"Do they have intelligence?"
"Just like humans."
"Does that mean we can communicate?"
The hood turned to Lu Li, and a surprised look from the shadow fell on Lu Li, just like Tesla back then: "Why do you have such an idea?"
"Just say whatever you want."
Lu Li didn't talk too much about this because it was very troublesome.
Friday did not continue to ask, she began to take out the things under the cloak: cans, matches, pots. She almost took down everything that could be used in the cabin, and it did not look like she was leaving the cabin in a hurry.
This scene made Lu Li realize something.
Maybe it wasn't because she thought the wooden house was better when she left in the morning on Friday. She went to the wooden house alone so that Lu Li could arrange a windproof place, and then she came back to enjoy the fruits of her labor.
Rather than exposing Friday, Lu Li had another question to ask: "Why is it wearing a black robe? It's very troublesome for it to move."
Wu Wu suddenly covered his black robe to guard against Lu Li, and whispered slowly: "Face the real me, you will fall into madness."
Lu Li's gaze paused for a moment and then retracted.
