The flames licked the stone walls, reflecting the warmth and brightness in the windbreak.
It's still some time before midnight, and the night is still long.
The sea breeze brings the sound of waves not far away, occupying this space again.
After a brief silence, Lu Li said, "What is in the wooden house?"
"Why do you want to communicate with your relatives?" Friday asked, she cared about Lu Li's thoughts just as Lu Li cared about the existence in the wooden house.
"It's normal for an intelligent creature to want to communicate with other intelligent creatures. There's nothing special about it." Lu Li replied.
The change of perspective will not change in a moment. For example, Lu Li is still used to thinking about problems from a materialistic perspective. This is the biggest difference between him and the native humans in this world.
"They are the enemies of mankind. Countless exorcists have died at the hands of these guys over the past hundreds of years." The voice under the hood became very interested.
"There is no conflict between enemies and communication." Lu Li replied calmly.
"Okay, you're right." Friday said, noticing that Lu Li was still looking at her waiting for some answer, so he added, "You'll see it tomorrow morning."
Her answer was still general. Lu Li nodded and asked, "Did my incident fail?"
"That's about it. The trainee investigator assessment requires you to act alone, so I've already stepped in."
Lu Li was silent, with no negative emotions visible on his face.
He has one more chance.
"When will the investigators' help arrive?"
"It won't be long. If we're lucky, we'll be able to see the messenger tomorrow."
"messenger?"
"I'll know it when I see you."
A yawn came from under Friday's hood.
"I'm going to rest first. If there's a situation that can't be solved, call me again."
Friday curled up his legs under the black robe, tilted his head and leaned against the warm stone wall. After a few seconds, he looked up at Lu Li: "You will not hide the fact that I helped you to become an investigator, and then secretly kill me while I am sleeping."
If I do this, no one will know that I interfered and you can become an investigator, right?"
"You said it in too much detail." Lu Li looked at Friday and said, which sounded like he was hinting that he should do this.
Friday didn't answer. He tugged at the corner of his black robe and said, "Don't peek under my clothes."
She lowered her head against the stone wall, and her breathing gradually became calmer.
Lu Li watched silently for a while, then looked away, added a piece of firewood to the fire, and picked up the two cans he brought back from Friday among the sparks.
The cans haven't been opened, nothing has been eaten all day Friday, and probably no water has been added.
After placing the cans against the stone wall, Lu Li looked away from the gap on the couch and continued his vigil.
The arrival of Friday did not change Lu Li's plan, but the mood of being alone and together was completely different, and even Lu Li could not avoid it. At least with an official investigator by his side, he could be more relaxed and guard against outside interference.
Danger.
And he can rest for a while after waking up on Friday.
This thought continued until there was a deserted light outside.
The night is fading away and daybreak is coming.
After the troubles that followed in the first half of the night were gone, Lu Li enjoyed a rare peace in the second half of the night, except for the occasional illusions and whispers.
Think about it carefully, nothing strange happened after you came back on Friday. Is it related to her?
Lu Li glanced at Friday, who was still sleeping and leaning against the stone wall. He moved the recliner and got out of the windproof place.
The morning sea breeze blows in your face, black waves lap at the beach, a bright color appears in the eastern sky, and the darkness that has not yet left shrouds the island, revealing a strange outline.
Today is the second day of desert island survival.
…
"It's dawn again..."
In the dark detective agency, a whisper slowly sounded.
On the sofa, a transparent figure lowered his head.
Ta-ta-ta-
Suddenly I heard heavy footsteps in the corridor outside the door.
The transparent figure on the sofa suddenly raised his head and stared behind the door. But the footsteps did not stop. He walked through the door of the detective agency and entered a certain house.
The hope in the figure's eyes gradually dimmed.
"He told me he would be back early yesterday morning..."
Anna has been waiting for a whole day, but the familiar figure never appeared.
"Even you..."
Anna didn't dare to think about Lu Li's suffering. Whenever she thought about it, there would be an unbearable severe cramping pain in her heart, as if her heart was still in her chest.
The last time she felt the same way was when she learned of her mother's death.
"If I go to sea with him..."
Whispers echoed in the detective agency, the window became brighter than before, and the noise of neighbors that once made Anna feel at ease now became harsh.
What was equally jarring was the reason why Lu Li didn't take her with him.
She was so weak that instead of protecting Lu Li, she would actually drag him down.
"If I had enough..."
"strength……"
The obscure aura spread out from Anna's illusory body, erasing the human imprint on her body. In contrast, her aura began to gradually strengthen.
In the dark detective agency, a strange dim shadow stretched out from under her feet. It was extremely light in color and almost blended in with the surroundings, making it difficult to spot.
"Not enough..."
Anna whispered, faintly floating to the ceiling, penetrating the roof, and appearing above the long house.
Smoke rose from the chimney beside her and floated into the gloomy sky with a deserted color. Anna was floating in the street. She wanted to become stronger, but she didn't know what she was looking for.
Wandering aimlessly, at a certain moment, Anna suddenly felt the same kind of breath in a house in front of her.
Her eyes regained their sparkle, and the illusory figure that no one saw floated into the house.
…
Dark red blood was poured on the entire wall and candlesticks. The light outside the window was blocked by heavy curtains, barely letting in a trace of light.
A corpse was leaning against the wall, its eyes widened, and the final fear remaining on its face.
A ghost stood in front of the corpse, smiling ferociously, with blood on its mouth. Suddenly he sensed something, turned around, and saw a delicate figure in a white dress floating like a porcelain doll behind him.
The surprise flashed away, and the ghost walked towards Anna and smiled gracefully: "Beautiful lady, I——"
Its figure suddenly solidified, and its elegant face twisted and deformed, as if being pulled by an invisible force in an extraordinary direction, extending and elongating like a reflection on the water.
Snap——
There was a sudden explosion in the void, and the male ghost suddenly exploded.
Countless breaths poured into Anna's soul, strengthening her breath.
"This power..." Anna felt the power growing stronger in her body. "If I had it earlier..."
A flash of pain flashed away in his clear eyes.
"Not enough..."
My current strength is not enough to find Lu Li.
There was a certain color in Anna's eyes, and she ignored the miserable corpse and floated out of the house.
