It will take some time for the man's reward to be delivered, but it won't be long.
He will do all this before he sleeps.
Two boxes of deep sea stones were piled in the corner of the detective agency. It was time to arrange them, but as the situation changed, laying them on the bedroom walls was no longer the only option.
The refuge site has been selected and Annie has been transplanted, and it won't be long before he moves out of the city. In this case, it doesn't make much sense to lay the abyssal stones in the bedroom - it won't be long before they have to be taken down again.
Next, Lu Li's focus will shift to building evacuation sites. The longhouse is no longer suitable in terms of location and size.
Lu Li planned to find a room on Elm Street as a transit warehouse to facilitate transportation of materials to the cliff.
Lu Li couldn't afford the price of buying a house, but it was more than enough to rent.
After hearing Lu Li's arrangements, Anna said with some reluctance: "So we have to move?"
"Sooner or later we'll have to move."
Lu Li opened the drawer and took out the note with the task list written on it.
His eyes briefly ignored the content above, and Lu Li directly gathered up the useless piece of paper and threw it into the wastebasket.
It is no longer important to investigate the world or the door. What needs to be done now is to make more preparations before trouble comes.
The former is just a chronic disease, while the latter is coming in waves.
Taking out a new task list, Lu Li wrote down what he had to do now: move to the evacuation site and rent a house on Elm Street.
The former takes time, and Lu Li has to find workers to expand the cave. The latter is easy. Although the [Man-Eating House] has not spread, most residents of Elm Street know about this happening around them, and they want to leave the neighborhood in fear.
.
Lu Li could easily rent a suitable house there.
Lu Li left these two tasks to Qiao Qiao, who was on the line with them again. She was a professional. Lu Li had something more important to do - waiting at the detective agency.
The man didn't keep Lu Li waiting for too long. Less than an hour later, a middle-aged coachman who looked like an old man came to the detective agency to visit, claiming to be the man's neighbor and delivering him the commission reward.
In addition to the cash reward of 700 shillings and a letter written by a man, there was also part of the "reward" brought by the middle-aged coachman, who stopped outside the longhouse door.
Lu Li followed the groom out to check, and found that most of them were furniture and tools, and he almost moved his home.
The man gave most of his things to Lu Li.
Just as Lu Li comforted him, he decided to focus his life on dreams. As for reality?
【Perhaps the everlasting reality is my dream.】
The man wrote this in the letter, and Lu Li was silent as he looked at this sentence.
Maybe the world is the same for him?
He doesn't know.
A cart of furniture might cost two to three hundred shillings. Just like he did with a cart of flowers, Lu Li asked Mafra to sell it and give him 10% of the reward.
The groom happily agreed and left with a cart of goods.
Lu Li returned to the detective agency and put the letter with only one sentence in the drawer.
There were already many envelopes piled deep in the drawer, including normal ones and some that could only be seen by him.
Lu Li took out the pile of normal letters, omitting some of the envelopes that smelled of perfume, and opened the remaining letters one by one.
Most of it comes from Remy and Jimmy.
Opening the next letter, it looked like it was torn from a diary, reminding Lu Li of its sender.
[The Swamp Mother is eyeing you]
[Go to the Snowflake Street Andres Repair Station, show the people in the store the token I gave you, and let them fix the marks on your body]
[Be quick, don’t let the mark turn into a brand]
[Remember, don’t set foot in Shadow Town until the mark is removed. There is a problem here. If I don’t come to you to retrieve the token one week after you receive the letter, tell the people at the repair station the news and they will solve the matter]
[There is a basement in my residence, give them the things there, the rest is yours]
Attach a line of address after it.
This letter came from the beak masked figure and was sent to Lu Li like a will.
However, after receiving it, Lu Li went overseas to participate in the investigator's regularization assessment. When he came back, the incident was forgotten deep in his memory.
It's been over two weeks now.
After that, Lu Li never received another letter or any kind of contact from the figure in the beak mask.
She may have disappeared near Shadow Swamp.
Just in case, Lu Li called Tesla to inquire. After receiving the news that the figure with the beak mask had not returned, Lu Li looked again at the address attached at the back.
No. 103, Building 16, Wenxin Street, Belfast.
A relatively high-end neighborhood near the top of the mountain.
After putting away the letters, Lu Li silently read the remaining letters, stacked them up again and put them back deep in the drawer.
In the next hour, Qiao Qiao called twice one after another. The first time he told Lu Li that there were many homeowners on Elm Street who were interested in renting, he gave Lu Li two contact information, one on the edge of the block near the Elm Street block, and one in the middle of the block but not far away.
Best price.
The last time, he told Lu Li that he had already contacted the workers he wanted who dared to go to the Elm Forest. As before, he gave Lu Li two contact information. One could go to the cliff to work at any time, but the price was a bit expensive. The other had to wait until the weather improved.
Only some can do the work, and the price is in the middle.
Lu Li took down the phone number and did not contact them. Instead, he picked up his umbrella and poncho and left the detective agency with Anna.
Lu Li, who is short of money, plans to inherit the "legacy" of the beak mask figure.
Hopefully she'll have something in her basement that interests her.
…
Belfast's neighborhood names usually have nothing to do with themselves, only a few of them have some relationship. For example, most of the people living in Sailor Street are sailors, most of the people living in Snake Love Street are members of the Snake Love gang, and Rum Street
There are many bars -
Building 16 in the warm neighborhood.
This is a tall stone townhouse. Like a longhouse, there are many residents living in the house, but the space and environment are incomparable.
Lu Li stood in front of door 103. The door was locked.
There was no key in the envelope of the figure with the beak mask, which was not Lu Li's fault. After discovering that there was no key under the blanket, Anna drifted straight into the house and opened the door from the inside.
Click——
Lu Li stepped into the room and half-closed the door behind him.
There is no weird musty smell or damp water stains leaking from the corners. The dry air, brand-new furniture, and relatively bright lighting make you feel comfortable.
It is unimaginable that that dark and lonely figure with a beak mask would make its home in a place like this.
Accompanied by Anna, Lu Li looked around several bedrooms and study rooms, but found nothing.
There is no basement here as described in the letter.
What's even more puzzling is that everything in the house is very clean, as if someone had tidied it up not long ago.
Lu Li suddenly realized something. At the same time, the half-open door was suddenly pushed open. A middle-aged man stood at the door and shouted angrily at Lu Li.
