"You stay." Lu Li left his seat and said to Anna, who had been looking over.
The smile on Anna's delicate face disappeared: "I want to follow you, don't even think about going alone."
"I will take you there, but I have to go to the base now."
He needs to find out what happened in Shadow Town and Elm Forest.
"oh."
Anna, who knew she had misunderstood, responded honestly: "When will you come back?"
"soon."
After picking up the woolen coat on the hanger and putting it on, Lu Li thought of something and said to Anna, "You haven't contacted Daisy for a long time."
"Daisy..."
It seemed like a long time ago that she last contacted Daisy. Anna found that she didn't miss her former friend too much, but she still replied: "I will contact her when I come back."
After all, this was a rare act of proactive concern from Lu Li.
Lu Li nodded. The last time Daisy contacted her was before the Shadow of the Thread. She said that her professor got a bard's diary and things became a little strange after that.
Daisy never called again after that. I don't know if it was because the professor's incident was over, or if something bad happened that prevented her from calling, such as...death.
Click——
Lu Li left and closed the door.
Anna walked into the kitchen and poured half of the boiling water out of the pot.
I'm leaving Belfast in two hours, so I don't have to do the night's work.
The remaining half of the pot of water sat back on the stove. Anna put on her apron and hummed softly as she began to process the ingredients.
…
Rainwater is blocked outside the Andres Brothers pits.
The streets seemed to turn into rivers, and the water from the upper streets passed through the coastal streets and rushed to the beach.
A figure wearing a poncho walked into the maintenance station in bad weather.
"welcome."
Seeing the figure take off his poncho hood, revealing his instantly recognizable black hair, the staff member who recognized Lu Li smiled and said hello.
"Is Tesla here?" Lu Li took off his poncho and hung it on the hanger by the door.
"certainly."
"Thanks."
Walking deep into the store, he took out the investigator badge and passed through the mural. Lu Li entered the underground facility.
When Lu Li saw Tesla, this man who always maintained elegance was sitting in the seat closest to the fireplace in the rest area. The thick animal skin blanket covering him made him look like a barbarian.
"Zhao Luli, it's really cold today, isn't it?" Tesla's magnetic voice had a nasal sound, and the tip of his aquiline nose turned red.
"It's not too cold." Lu Li sat across from Tesla.
Tesla wrapped the leather blanket tightly around him, took a breath and said with emotion: "I used to live in the inland, and the cold there was just cold. It's not like here, where the moisture penetrates into the flesh along the clothes, blankets and skin. It's so cold."
It’s so uncomfortable.”
He muttered like an old man for a while before getting down to business: "Let me guess your purpose of coming. What's the problem this time?"
Lu Li's seemingly endless questions did not bore Tesla. On the contrary, he liked people who were always curious.
"Do you know about Shadow Town?" Lu Li asked.
Tesla nodded, a little confused: "I know a little bit, why do you want to know this?"
"A friend is missing there. I'm going to find him."
"Now?" Tesla frowned and said, his eyes suddenly falling to the side.
The approaching alliance personnel placed a glass of milk in front of Lu Li - even though Lu Li hadn't asked for it yet.
"Everyone knows your preferences," Tesla joked.
"Did the Mother of the Swamp do it?" Lu Li asked. He didn't have time to chat.
Tesla said seriously: "This is the problem. It seems that another evil god caused the loss of contact in Shadow Town."
Zernst City is not too far from Shadow Town. The distance of more than 80 miles is enough for people to make a round trip in one day.
So when the news of the disappearance of Shadow Town came out, the exorcists thought it was the "terrible faceless giant" who appeared in Shadow Town. However, the nearby exorcists went to investigate and found no trace of the "terrible faceless giant".
, what envelopes Shadow Town is another strange and evil aura - different from the aura of the Swamp Mother.
According to the information returned so far, it seems that a new evil god has appeared in Shadow Town, and the evil god "Swamp Mother" is in the Shadow Swamp adjacent to it.
"That's why something happened there," Tesla said.
"They are hostile." Lu Li followed Tesla's train of thought.
After receiving Tesla's affirmation, Lu Li said: "Is the new evil god related to the residents of Shadow Town?"
The beak-masked figure's letter had vaguely mentioned that there was a problem in Shadow Town.
Another version of "Gate"'s letter frankly stated that the residents of Shadow Town were believers of "Swamp Mother".
In any case, Shadow Town is now a place where two evil gods are fighting.
"Before their fighting is over, it is a restricted area and it is very dangerous to get close to it. Do you really want to go?"
"Did the headquarters announce the Shadow Town incident?" Lu Li's question answered Tesla's question.
"Alas... here." Tesla sighed, took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Lu Li.
Lu Li took the parchment that was still warm and unfolded it before his eyes.
[New event in Shadow Town area: Confrontation between evil gods]
[Difficulty: Difficult]
[Information degree: 38%]
【Known information】
[15%: The Mother of the Shadow Swamp Evil God Swamp confronts another unknown evil god in Shadow Town]
[10%: The residents of Shadow Town had previously believed in the unknown evil god and the Mother of the Swamp]
[8%: The relatives of the Swamp Mother of Shadow Swamp enter Shadow Town]
[5%: No survivors found on the streets]
Hard difficulty means that the event corresponds to an agent-level investigator, which is an excellent investigator who has completed at least nine events of varying difficulty.
Lu Lili still needs one incident to be promoted to senior investigator.
"Do you still want to go now?" Tesla looked at Lu Li and said.
Lu Li quietly read the contents on the parchment and pushed it back to Tesla.
"Well, I promised her."
Tesla's eyes were mixed with regret and appreciation. He regretted Lu Li's risky choice, but at the same time admired his unwavering faith in the face of difficulties.
"Good luck to you," Tesla said.
…
After finishing the broth, Lu Li put down his wooden bowl.
Anna cleared up the table skillfully, and Lu Li returned to the bedroom to take off his shirt and replace the gauze on his abdomen.
Anna, who was cleaning the pots and pans, secretly watched the scene through the bedroom and kitchen windows.
Occasionally, Lu Li raised his head as if he was aware of it, and saw Anna working seriously.
The wound was no longer bleeding, and scabs had formed on the two-centimeter-long slender wound. After wrapping gauze around it, Lu Li put his shirt back on.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, a carriage stopped outside the longhouse and Qiao Qiao arrived.
"Ready, when will we set off?" Qiao Qiao arrived and looked at Lu Li expectantly.
