The whole of Himfast gradually disappeared from sight.
Just as Lu Li was changing Anna subtly, Anna was also changing Lu Li.
If it were Lu Li at the beginning, he might have stood in front of Old Henry and told him his son's possible ending when he had some guesses, instead of doing so tactfully before leaving.
Anna stared blankly at the rain and fog shrouding behind her for a while, then looked away.
His eyes returned to Lu Li. He lit the oil lamp and sat on the edge of the carriage. He held the reins in one hand and opened a local newspaper he bought before leaving the city with the other hand.
The wind caused by the running carriage was against Lu Li, and the newspaper in his hand kept turning and blocking him.
"I'll drive." Anna said.
"Um."
Lu Li returned to the carriage and left the reins to Anna.
Perhaps because the newspaper was a local newspaper, Baron Joseph did not appear on it. But the first page was also not about the Immortal Giant, but about the theft of an oil painting called "Hope".
[The world-famous painting "Hope" on display at the Woody Museum was stolen last night]
Apart from the metaphor of "hope is lost" in the theft incident, this news appeared on the first page simply because this is the art capital of Himfast.
The second page of news was about the disappearance of the Immortal Giant without any new information - it would be inaccurate to say that there was no new information, because the Lennon Islands sent three more warships.
Then there was the local news in Himfast, and the cry for help in the alley did not appear on it.
Putting away the newspaper, Lu Li found that he had nothing to do. He had slept too much in the past two days, and it was difficult to rest now, not even to take a nap.
When I opened the curtains of the carriage, the light rain outside was heavier than when I left Himfast a few dozen minutes ago.
The weather indicated in the newspaper is moderate rain, and tomorrow it will be heavy rain.
And the Rain of Change.
At this moment, Anna, who was driving the carriage in front, suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Ah, it's the crow!"
Turning around to look, a dark shadow quickly appeared in the rain and fog, falling on Anna's shoulder from far to near.
"Hi……"
Ana, who was motionless, said hello cautiously.
Is it the result of the [Cries for Help in the Alley] incident?
Lu Li took out the note from Black Crow's leg and unfolded it under the oil lamp.
[Mr. Investigator, you are staying/passing through the eastern part of Allen Peninsula]
[It is expected that there will be abnormal rain in this area from tonight to late tomorrow night, please be prepared in advance]
[If you are willing to take action to maintain peace and stability in this region at this time, we will be grateful]
[Note: For detailed information about Rain of Change, you can turn to the back of the note]
It wasn't the result of the incident, but it wasn't bad either. It just brought Lu Li information about the Rain of Change.
[Rain of Mutations: Transform some special objects in the shrouded area into weird ones. Special objects include but are not limited to: items that convey emotions, places shrouded in the atmosphere of the other world, and people with low sanity values]
[Countermeasures: Don’t get caught in the rain]
There are ways to avoid the mutated rain like the lightless night, and it is relatively economical. Everyone can do it - as long as you don't get wet by the rain.
Putting away the note, Lu Li said to Black Crow, "There's nothing else."
"dumb--"
The black crow let out a sharp, piercing cry, spread its wings and flew away.
"Oh my ears..."
Anna pinched her ears in pain and whimpered, and muttered viciously: "I don't like crows anymore!"
After complaining for a while, Anna was distracted and asked Lu Li what was written on it.
After Lu Li told her about the abnormal rain, she placed an umbrella above her head to prevent the rain from falling on her.
Even though it's not Rain of Change now.
Even though she is a ghost.
Although there is already a membrane outside her soul.
The carriage was traveling on a road that led to Magic Bird Town and Belfast. On the road, Lu Li and the others occasionally encountered carriages coming from the first two places or carriages going to the first two places. The calm lasted for dozens of minutes, when they were suddenly interrupted by a sudden rush of sound from behind.
The sound of horse hooves dispersed.
Lu Li and Anna looked back at the rear of the car. Under the rain curtain, several figures a hundred meters away were running wildly. After a few seconds, they caught up with Lu Li's carriage and stopped it.
Anna disappeared. Lu Li in the carriage pulled the reins and raised his eyes to look at several figures.
"We are the Himfast Police Department, you-"
The figure wearing a raincoat on the horse who was talking suddenly stopped. He saw a three-eyed black crow badge that Lu Li took out.
This thing he has seen often in recent months, and like the group of guys in black uniforms, it belongs to a special organization——
His tone became polite: "Your Excellency, Investigator, I'm sorry for bothering you. Have you seen anyone acting suspiciously?"
"Are you looking for the person who stole the oil painting?" Lu Li asked.
Lu Li is an investigator, so the theft of the oil painting will naturally not be suspected of him.
"Yes."
"Didn't see it."
"Okay, let's continue looking for the murderer." The young police officer said, pulling the reins and chasing forward with his companions.
The stalled wheels turn again.
Anna emerged from behind Lu Li, looked at the figures disappearing in the rain, and turned her head to look at Lu Li who was thoughtful: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering if we will encounter the person or group of people who stole the painting in front of us," Lu Li said.
"This plot sounds very familiar... I'll look for it." Anna retreated into the car and flipped through her love book. A few minutes later, Anna shouted "Found it" and rushed to Lu Li's side, reading out this page.
Text above: "He met a thief on the road who stole his belongings. The thief thought he would be like the others.
Like this, shouting 'You are a damn thief!' 'I'm going to send you to the police station to punish you!', but he didn't, he elegantly asked the thief if he was in trouble and needed help - oh he was so kind.
, so that the thief was so moved by him that he took off his hood, revealing a beautiful face——"
Anna suddenly became silent and closed the page with a bang.
The carriage returned to calm, with only the faint sound of rain falling all around.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that a stalled motorcade appeared in front of them. Some people on the motorcade looked not far away and whispered, as if the police had caught the thief who had stolen the oil painting.
Anna's eyes gradually narrowed.
What was happening in the distance could not be clearly seen under the rain, but at a certain moment, a hoarse, high-pitched shout echoed over the area.
"They are coming! The destruction of the world is imminent! We have no hope!!! We will all die, you idiots——"
The sound stopped suddenly, as if his mouth was blocked.
The people watching the excitement shrank back into the carriage, and there was a muttering sound.
"He is a lunatic, don't watch it."
Only one person, one ghost, didn't think so.
Police officers on horseback passed by with a carriage, and the queue was restored.
"Will everything we do be too late?" Anna's tone was worried.
