Near noon, the carriage drove up to the top of the cliff.
The terrifying thunder flashes in the clouds, which is more oppressive than in the city.
Anna went to check on Annie's condition. Lu Li untied the carriage and led the horse into the cave.
After passing the curtain of water in the cave, the sound of rain no longer filled my ears, and the surroundings became relatively quiet.
Lu Li tied his horse to a rock outside the refuge and walked into the refuge.
The room at the refuge was much drier than that of the detective agency, and the few books left behind showed no signs of getting damp. Lu Li picked up an oil lamp, lit it, and walked out of the room.
Lu Li placed the oil lamp on the rock and left it for the horses.
After doing this, Lu Li walked out of the cave and disappeared into the rain.
…
Anna's forehead touched the tree trunk lightly, feeling Annie's consciousness.
Lu Li came up from behind her, the oil lamp in his hand exuding a dense light.
"How is she?"
The emotions surrounding Annie's forest are so clear, and the uncomplicated concerns make those who are close to it unable to help but recall the warm past events in their memories.
They are helping Annie.
Anna left the tree trunk and said to Lu Li: "It has become stable, but it has not woken up yet."
"Will the storm affect her?"
Rain is not important. The top of the cliff is the highest and there will be no waterlogging, but strong winds will make the trees unbearable.
Lu Li looked into the distance. The light from the lighthouse in the reef area penetrated the thick dark rain curtain and shone into the distance. The dark sea surface was turbulent.
"The Elm Forest will protect it," Lu Li said.
Annie was in the center of the forest on the top of the cliff, and the strong winds from the edge could not reach it.
Lu Li picked up some dead branches in the woods that had been blown down by the strong wind or had fallen before. He carried them and Anna back to the carriage, took off the supplies from the carriage and moved them to the refuge.
The firewood collected last time had been dried, and Lu Li used it to light a fire in the fireplace.
The flame in the fireplace gradually became stronger and brighter, and the warmth dispelled the coldness in the cave.
A tin can filled with rainwater was placed by the fireplace to heat.
A steady warm light emitted from the fireplace, with occasional subtle crackling sounds. The only sound of rain outside the cave entrance was a soft "push", and quiet music continued to play from the radio.
An atmosphere of comfort and safety flows in the refuge.
"Aren't you going back today?" Anna asked.
"Um."
Lu Li wanted to confirm whether the evacuation site was really suitable for long-term survival. So far, everything seemed fine, but...
He looked at Anna: "Is the deep sea stone suppressing your breath?"
The aura surrounding Anna became obscure and faint after entering the refuge.
Anna nodded quietly.
Normally she would be happy to share this with Lu Li, but now, her mood makes her look like the second Lu Li.
Fortunately, she still likes to read books.
Lu Li laid a fluffy and soft blanket on the bed, took off his coat and put it in the closet, rolled up his sleeves, and started laying the unfinished floor and walls.
Occasionally, Anna would turn her head and look at the busy Lu Li, staring blankly for a long time.
The deep sea stone seems to be able to suppress ghosts. At least after Lu Li entered the refuge, the never-ending illusions no longer appeared frequently. At least they no longer appeared. Lu Li picked up the cup and saw eyeballs surging inside. Lu Li was lying on the sofa, on the ceiling.
The sight of sticky hair.
So Lu Li thought about it, what other effects does the large accumulation of deep-sea rocks have?
Lu Li remembered the source of the deep sea stone - a deep sea stone mountain in the deep sea with no bottom that could be found.
Is this mountain made of abyssal stone sealing some existence under the abyss of the sea?
But this is not something he should worry about. There is no reason for the exorcists to guess that they did not stop but continued to mine, which means that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Lu Li's speed in laying the deep sea stones was not very fast, but he now had enough time to do it.
As time passed, towards evening, one cubic meter of deep sea stone had been laid by Lu Li.
The refuge point has been partially completed.
Standing up and stretching her body, Anna controlled a ball of rainwater to float in front of Lu Li.
After washing his hands, Lu Li looked at the time and adjusted the frequency of the radio to the alliance radio station.
It's not yet six o'clock, and there is only music with a "buzzing" noise on the radio.
Anna opened the wooden board of the can box, and Lu Li took out a box of canned beef, opened it, and placed it by the fireplace to heat.
[*Music sound*... rustling... hello young people]
The music and noise disappeared, and a clear voice came from the radio.
Alliance Radio starts playing.
As usual, the first half tells the story of an exorcist, and the rest of the time reveals an evil spirit.
[This evil spirit is called the Headless Spirit. Before you see her, you will hear her crying first. ]
[She is wearing a long white dress, with rare long black hair covering her face. She looks like a crying woman. But when you get closer, you will find that her head is fake. A burlap bag filled with unknown things replaces the head, with drawings on it.
With ugly facial features like a child scribbling.]
[The ritual of the headless spirit will cause her to appear next to the victim. No matter where the victim runs, she will not leave within a few dozen meters of the victim. This range usually depends on whether the victim can hear her cry.
sound distance.】
[Once the headless spirit hears terms such as "head", "head" and "skull" next to the victim, she will take off the head of the person who said these words, and then find that it is not her own head and throw it away. So if
If no one says these words, she won't do anything, even if you hit her.】
[The time she stays with the victim is variable, it may be a few hours or a few days. If you want to be absolutely safe, you need to keep your mouth shut, make sure there are no idle people around, and you don’t talk in your sleep]
[There is a ritual in which people are naturally immune to headless spirits. I think you can guess who I am talking about.]
[According to the investigation of the Demon Slayer Association, the body of the headless spirit may be her lost head. So if any of you find a woman's head that will not rot, congratulations, you will be able to kill an evil spirit with your own hands.

After the alliance radio station ended, Lu Li tuned back to the classical music station and started to finish his meal.
The taste of canned beef is certainly not as good as the aristocratic food eaten this week, but it is much more delicious than usual food - such as the food made by Anna herself.
Lu Li left the empty cans after he finished eating them and piled them in the corner. Maybe he would need them someday.
It's almost time to rest.
"How do you want to rest?" Lu Li asked.
"Wraith spirits no longer need to rest. The breath in the other world will continue to replenish my strength." Anna answered.
As for what would happen to her future, Anna didn't say anything, and Lu Li didn't ask.
Lying down and covering himself with a blanket, Lu Li closed his eyes.
"Good night."
Anna at the desk said softly.
As Lu Li's breathing became calmer, everything became quiet.
Early the next morning, an unexpected guest came to the top of the cliff.
