The coachman who rented the carriage didn't pay much attention to the businessman's figure, appearance, and huge backpack, as if in his eyes, he was just an ordinary passenger following Lu Li.
The "three" people got on the carriage, the wheels rolled over the wet and cold bluestone road, and rushed to their destination.
Businessmen do not speak without reason.
Lu Li would not speak without reason.
Anna could, but she was afraid of strangers, and the presence of an extra businessman in the carriage made her afraid to talk to Lu Li.
In a dull mood, Lu Li opened the curtains and looked outside the carriage.
Streets and people passed by before his eyes. Hazy blood-colored tentacles were high in the clouds, swaying gently like seaweed. Even the rain screen could not stop them from appearing in Lu Li's eyes.
When passing the main street, Lu Li saw many carriages pulling goods lining up on the road.
Lu Li opened the curtain and asked the groom. The groom thought about his words and told Lu Li: "They seem to be moving to the shore of Agate Lake."
Lu Li asked thoughtfully: "Is this happening a lot recently?"
"It's okay...it just started to increase in number yesterday, and I don't know where there are so many rich people." The groom said with envy. The house prices in Agate Lake are beyond the imagination of ordinary people like him.
People of high status are moving away from the shore.
Lu Li thought to himself, it seems that some people are beginning to know about the horrific scene that happened in Zernst City.
It may be people from the three major organizations, or it may be ordinary people who get information from the three major organizations.
Lu Li lowered the curtain and looked back at the businessman. A question suddenly appeared in his mind, prompting him to ask the businessman a question.
However, Lu Li held back for the time being, it was not the time to ask questions yet.
At least not now.
Forty minutes later, the carriage arrived at the old warm neighborhood.
The groom was a little reluctant to drive in here. He was worried about being haunted by the undead on this long street. However, Lu Li told him that he was an exorcist, which made the groom muster up the courage to drive into the street and stop at the building numbered "19".
forward.
One day passed and 6 fell again.
Holding an oil lamp and walking into the building, the tall and slender businessman was like Lu Li's long and narrow dark shadow, stretching behind him.
After walking through the dead corridor, pushing open the unlocked door, and walking into the living room, Lu Li opened the wooden door leading to the basement, turned around and said to the businessman, "It's right down there."
A slight coolness seeped out from the dark space behind the door, and the mysterious attraction resurfaced, calling Lu Li to go in and open it.
"You can go get it, I'll leave it up there."
Lu Li didn't plan to go down anymore.
The businessman said nothing and walked down to the basement with his wet boots making the sound of water.
Its figure melted into the darkness, leaving only the echoing footsteps echoing back to the ground. Lu Li, who was still holding the oil lamp, frowned.
Businessmen are not afraid of the dark.
What exactly are they...
Anna didn't notice this, and quietly appeared, hiding behind Lu Li, looking over Lu Li's shoulder towards the basement: "It still feels like a pity..."
Lu Li tilted his head slightly, his eyes questioning.
"We haven't opened the notes or the stone box. Maybe there is useful information for us in them?"
"Many people who die from strange deaths think this way before they die."
For example, the senior investigator Thomas who is right in front of you. However, he is not very suitable. Thomas died of his own confidence and carelessness, and curiosity is not the main factor.
The "Exorcist Survival Manual" writes very straightforwardly: Stay away from an old friend who you haven't contacted for a long time but recently suddenly came to you and claimed to have found a treasure and invited you to come; never open a long-standing notebook or diary; collect it;
Arouse your own curiosity and stay away from weird and bizarre phenomena; when you hear calls or prayers from unknown sources, run away quickly instead of thinking that someone is calling you or that there are believers praying nearby.
Strictly speaking, "The Exorcist Survival Manual" teaches people how to avoid when faced with weirdness, rather than face it.
It suits Lu Li very well now.
The world is in a transitional period, and Lu Li doesn't want to take risks at this time.
He even gave up the idea of finding a way back for the time being.
The footsteps in the basement disappeared for a while and then sounded again, this time walking upwards.
Anna stared at the dark door and suddenly exclaimed: "It just walked into the darkness!"
"Um."
"How is it possible..."
"Don't forget that we call businessmen it, not him and her."
At the edge of the basement illuminated by the oil lamp, a trace of threadbare clothes appeared. Anna remained silent and her figure faded away again.
The businessman walked up the last flight of stairs and returned to the ground.
Lu Li closed the cold basement door and glanced at the stone box and notebook in the businessman's hand: "How much are they worth?"
"400 contribution points and 400 contribution points."
"Uniform pricing?"
He sold the useless Dracula for 400 contribution points, and the contents and notebook in the stone box were actually the same as it.
"They are as strong as ghosts," the merchant replied.
Lu Li nodded and suddenly asked, "If I want to know the contents of the notes and the contents of the stone box, what price will I have to pay?"
"750 contribution points."
Lu Li frowned, news worth 7,500 shillings?
But before Lu Li could react, the businessman added: "You still have 750 contribution points left."
In other words, the message only costs 50 contribution points.
At 500 shillings, it was neither cheap nor expensive. It was just in the price range that made Lu Li hesitate.
"Tell me these two things." Lu Li said after thinking.
Knowledge is another kind of wealth, especially for investigators.
"The note was left by a certain evil god's relative, and the power of the evil god remains. Reading it will transform the reader's physique and mind into the corresponding evil god's relative over time, and at the same time he will hear the evil god's whisper, until he finally falls into the abyss and becomes
The descendants of the evil god."
"The necklace in the stone box has ghost consciousness. If you wear it, you will be invaded by the ghost in the necklace. You will fall into nightmares at night, your body will become worse, and finally the ghost will take over your body."
Because it is a "transaction", the merchants clearly tell them their specific functions and capabilities.
Both items are evil.
What is difficult to understand is why there is such a thing in her basement.
Fortunately, Lu Li didn't open them. He already had enough troubles.
Lu Li returned to Zero's survey point and gained another 750 points. Correspondingly, the price of the Deep Sea Stone had risen to 10,500 shillings one day later.
Counting the shillings he had on him, Lu Li still had more than 1,000 shillings left before he could buy the fourth piece.
Moreover, he will take advantage of the good weather tomorrow to hire workers to go to the cliff to expand the cave.
Without mentioning the purchase of the fourth shilling, Lu Li stood in the living room and looked at the house as he watched the merchant leave.
He looked very carefully.
Anna vaguely realized something and said speechlessly: "You don't plan to sell these furniture too..."
Anna always felt bad about emptying other people's homes... even though the strange woman might be dead.
Lu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with this behavior.
