The carriage first returned to Sailor Street, stopped briefly, and then took Lu Li to the Andres Brothers repair station on Snowflake Street.
Perhaps because the rainy season is approaching, there are especially many customers coming to buy tools and consult for business.
The alliance member who acted as the boss didn't even have time to say hello to Lu Li and could only answer the inquiries of the customers crowded in front of the counter.
Lu Li entered the underground base through the elevator behind the wall painting. There were a few more leaking barrels under the corners than yesterday. The hall was as empty as ever, with only Alliance personnel wiping cups behind the bar in the rest area.
"A glass of milk."
Lu Li said to him and sat down on the edge.
Feeling a chill under his body, Lu Li suddenly remembered that the person in charge of base duty this week was Rachel, not Tesla.
However, Lu Li waited for a few minutes, and after the milk was delivered and finished, he stood up and left.
He did not leave through the pipe passage, but walked into a room that Tristan had brought into. After walking through a long and narrow dark passage, a simple carved wooden door appeared in the dim light of the electric light above his head.
Pushing open the secret door, Lu Li appeared in the real library. The air was filled with the damp smell of books, and some figures were standing in front of the bookshelves, reading quietly.
Reis also recognized Lu Li and waved to him.
Lu Li asked about the aftermath of what happened that day, but Reis didn't know the specifics. He only knew that the evil spirit never appeared again.
Nodding slightly, Lu Li asked him about the books that recorded emotions in the forest.
"It's very rare knowledge... You can go to the third bookcase and have a look." He pointed to the third bookshelf against the wall and picked up an oil lamp from under the table and handed it to Lu Li.
The library is dimly lit and requires an oil lamp to see the words on the books.
Lu Li walked to the third cabinet. This time there was no "Book Elf" to give him any prompts. Lu Li could only read them one by one. Twenty minutes later, he found the eightyth chapter of a book called "The Encyclopedia of Weird Geography".
Five pages discover descriptions of forest moods.
Completely contrary to what Lame Barton said, in this book the demon slayers named "forest emotions" "forest consciousness", but the content is exactly the same, saying that the forest gave birth to emotions.
The demon slayers believe that this is related to the strange rain. Before the forest mood was born, these forests had rained at the same time.
That rain was probably weird rain.
In addition, Lu Li saw some information about forest emotions in another book called "Weird Survival Manual".
[Don’t get close to weird woods. You don’t know what’s hidden inside, and you don’t know if the woods can breathe. Heading into the forest without knowing anything is as stupid as punching a rock.]
[Of course, unless you are being chased by a very dangerous being]
It took Lu Li nearly an hour just to find these two books with side descriptions.
If he wanted to know the situation in more detail, Lu Li had better ask some people who knew the inside story.
For example, Tesla took over the responsibility of answering questions from Hades.
And it's free.
Tesla had told Lu Li his address, so after asking Reis to send him away from another exit of the library, Lu Li took a rental carriage to the mountains, where Tesla's mansion was.
…
Onyx Lakeside.
This lake is named after the clear lake surface and the agate at the bottom of the lake. However, some people say that it is because under the sunlight, the waves on the bottom of the water are as colorful as agate.
Lu Li had never seen any of them before. Under the heavy rain, he only saw dense sprays on the gloomy water.
The carriage drove a short half circle along the path beside the lake, turned into a stretch of single-family mansions, and stopped in front of Gate No. 16.
After getting off the carriage, Lu Li raised his hand and pressed the doorbell. After a while, the door opened, and an older maid appeared behind the warm-colored door holding an umbrella. She walked down the steps and asked Lu Li through the fence door.
"I'm Lu Li, a colleague from Tesla."
"Please wait a moment," the old maid said, and returned to the door. Not long after, she appeared again, followed by Tesla holding an umbrella.
The old maid opened the fence gate to let Lu Li enter the yard. Tesla smiled kindly and said, "Let me guess... do you have any new questions to ask?"
"Um."
"I knew it, come in."
Tesla laughed and took Lu Li into the mansion.
The bright and warm lights and the burning wood in the fireplace dispelled the coldness on the body. Somewhat surprisingly, Tesla's mansion was not as luxurious as it looked from the outside. On the contrary, it only had relatively warm decorations.
"Where's your assistant?"
Tesla asked suddenly and abruptly.
Lu Li took off his poncho and handed it to the old maid waiting beside him. After thanking him, he replied: "I came from the investigator base, she is not suitable to go there."
Tesla nodded slightly and sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace with Lu Li: "Adanfuya is still resting."
Adang Fuya is Tesla's wife. If Lu Li's guess is correct, she is a ghost like Anna.
Lu Li came straight to the point and asked, "Do you know about forest emotions?"
"The emotions that pervaded the forest? Of course, we did a lot of research when they first appeared."
The head maid brought two cups of hot coffee and then retreated to the kitchen. In the wide hall, there were only two people warming themselves in front of the fireplace.
"What's the result?" Lu Li asked.
"Just pay attention. They have emotions due to the strange rain, but they won't think. As long as they don't attack those tree kings... Since you asked about forest emotions, you should know what tree kings are."
"Um."
Tesla didn't ask Lu Li why he wanted to know this, and told Lu Li all the information he knew about the mood of the forest.
After understanding the general situation, Lu Li asked about other details: "Has the result of the infection source letter sent to the headquarters been found now?"
"Headquarters hasn't responded yet." Tesla showed a look of confusion. "It stands to reason that they should have checked it long ago."
"Maybe something happened?"
"That way we will get the news." Tesla shook his head slightly and judged: "Maybe the headquarters has been delayed for some reason. As you know, our situation is getting more and more difficult..."
Ten minutes later, Lu Li left Tesla's residence and returned to the detective agency with the ingredients he bought from the market.
Anna took the ingredients and got into the kitchen to prepare. Her clear voice came from inside: "As long as the rainy season passes, we can bring Annie. It just so happens that she is an elm tree, and that forest is also——"
Knock knock knock——
A knock on the door interrupted her.
A neighbor came over and told Lu Li that the phone had been ringing for a long time after he left in the morning.
Lu Li thanked him, asked the telephone office about the call in the morning, and called back.
"Who are you looking for?"
After a moment, the phone was connected, and Aunt Mary's voice came from the receiver.
"I'm Lu Li. My neighbor told me that you called me a lot before."
"Is it Lu Li?" Mary's voice suddenly became anxious.
"Come to Himfast, that tree...Annie it's going to die!"
