Vicious voices echoed around the alley: "I am human."
"You're not."
At the edge of the alley, a pale face appeared under the dim streetlight. It was covered in blood and disheveled. It growled at Lu Li: "I am a human!"
Lu Li's tone did not change at all: "You are not."
After a brief period of dead silence, the face at the edge of the alley suddenly began to rotate, from tilting its head to parallel - and then continued to rotate. Soon, her lower jaw faced the sky, and her head fell to the ground. It continued like this in a terrifying manner.
While turning, he asked: "How do you know I'm not a human being..."
"Human beings cannot survive in darkness." Lu Li replied.
The rotation stopped briefly for a few seconds, then continued to rotate, twisting the neck like a twist in the darkness: "I'm not a human, wouldn't you save me..."
"meeting."
The rotation of the head stopped again, and then continued to rotate like clockwork, whispering like the previous times: "Why don't you save me..."
Lu Li replied: "Since you are not a human being, you shouldn't be restrained by a few men."
The eyes on the woman's head that did not rotate with her head moved and were fixed on Anna: "One of the same kind... why are you with a human..."
Anna was horrified. She was worried that the truth would be exposed. She subconsciously filled the air and at the same time secretly glanced at Lu Li's profile.
Lu Li looked at the head at the entrance of the alley: "This has nothing to do with you."
"Damn smart guy..."
The head was turning as he spoke, his malicious eyes fixed on Lu Li, and he retreated unwillingly into the darkness behind the alley.
There was no longer a sound coming from the dark alley, and after a while, the malice that oppressed Lu Li suddenly dissipated.
This wraith is leaving this area.
"It's leaving." Anna, who was alert next to her, whispered.
"Can you attack her secretly?" Lu Li asked her, tilting his head.
This wraith is full of treasures. You can get information by understanding her, you can get extra rewards by killing her, and you can also make the psychic gun stronger.
Anna shook her head slightly and said: "It seems that I can't beat him..."
"Then forget it."
Lu Li quietly felt the malice fade away until it completely dissipated, and then he pulled the reins again, making noise in the deserted streets.
The carriage drove away and left this dark alley.
The street lamps covered with raincloths were as cold as the road.
…
"Where have you been?"
After sending the carriage to the dealership, Mary was awakened by the sound of Lu Li and Anna returning to their residence.
Or she wakes up when they go out.
"Manor." Lu Li answered briefly.
A smile flashed in Mary's eyes and she looked at Anna: "Did you sneak home and watch?"
Anna couldn't hide her emotions. Mary soon discovered that this was not the case, and asked with some confusion: "Or did you discover something?"
She thought of Lu Li's identity.
Before Mary could think any further, Lu Li explained aloud: "Well, we plan to take Anna's sister away."
"Sister...that tree?"
"Um."
"Of course. I happen to know a gardener. Anna, do you remember old Henry? He used to be a worker at the manor, but he retired since the plants stopped growing."
"Well... then please leave it to Aunt Mary."
Mary didn't drag Anna to accompany her this time, but it still made Anna feel awkward when she watched herself and Lu Li return to the guest room.
The oil lamp was placed on the table. Anna diligently found a towel to wipe off the fog on the glass cover. She saw Lu Li take out two small wooden boxes from his pocket, opened them one after another, examined them, and put away the one containing the eyeballs.
The wooden box containing the rotten meat was left by Lu Li and placed on the desk while opening the window.
There is no smell at all, only the fungus on the rotten meat makes it look uncomfortable.
"Won't you get sick after eating crows?" Anna asked curiously.
"Crows are scavengers."
"You will also get sick if you eat hairy things."
"Are you saying that the things the merchants sell will make the crows sick?"
"Well...that's right." Anna decided to give up thinking.
The minute hand of the alarm clock I brought with me moved, and time passed by minute by second. Three minutes later, the familiar sound of flapping wings came from the window.
In the gap between the curtains blown up by the wind, a crow folded its wings and landed on the windowsill.
The black crow came very quickly.
Lu Li looked at Anna quietly, motionless.
Another fifteen minutes later, the wind brought the sound of flapping wings, and another crow landed and jumped on the desk.
As Anna called softly, Lu Li opened the mailbox tied to Black Crow's leg. There was nothing inside.
Later, the black crows were attracted to the carrion in the small wooden box, jumped in front of the box, and used their sharp beaks to peck at the carrion.
"Help me send some information to the local investigator base."
Lu Li said, stood up, closed the window, tore out a blank page of notes, and wrote down everything he encountered when he encountered [the cry for help in the alley].
Normally, Anna might have wanted to feed the crow, but now there was something disturbing that was haunting her.
She desperately wanted to know the answer.
Anna seemed to have no intention of asking casually: "The ritual of that resentful spirit seems to be very simple."
"Not necessarily." Lu Li replied as he lowered his head to write.
Anna asked in confusion: "Didn't you let it go easily? It only took a few words..."
"It left because of you."
"Because of me..." Anna panicked.
"You sensed that we were in a ritual of resentful spirits, which reminded me." Lu Li paused, and then continued after finishing a line: "Otherwise, I might choose the wrong way, such as leaving or helping."
Judging from the results, either of the above two methods will fall into the trap of the Wraith Ritual, and the ending will not be too good.
Anna suddenly understood, no wonder Lu Li's behavior was different from usual - he always either left or ran away.
"So we didn't escape and we didn't help, which allowed us to go through its rites at the end?"
"Maybe."
Anna is confused, is there anything uncertain about this?
Lu Li replied: "Because I don't know whether we really passed the ceremony or because you were there to stop its attack."
Although the resentful spirit is much weaker than the evil spirit, the humanity that has not yet dissipated in it makes it more uncertain - in other words, the machine will operate according to the instructions, but the human will not.
"It sounds really unsolvable..." Anna, who understood, murmured. She couldn't help but think about what an ordinary person would do if he encountered this situation. He couldn't escape, couldn't help, and couldn't do anything...
but……
She couldn't help but steal a glance at Lu Li. He didn't seem to realize that he was already a wraith.
Anna breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the resentful spirit didn't reveal her situation.
On the other side, Lu Li finished writing what happened tonight, thought about it, and appended another line at the bottom.
[I hope the carrion money for summoning the black crow can be reimbursed]
