"The mayor, Mr. Vanster, doesn't know what he is doing. He actually allowed those fat pig Muggle council members to agree to this unreasonable ban."
On the roadside under the street lights, a long queue of motorcades lined up. Next to a gorgeous carriage at the end, a plump lady wearing a gorgeous and fluffy dress like a peacock complained.
The lady's accent had a strange accent, and I wonder if it had something to do with pinching her nose: "So that now I actually have to stand and wait with these dirty civilians, and we have to set off together."
Da da da——
The crisp sound of horseshoes came from behind. The noble lady glanced over and saw the tall figure wearing a poncho on the carriage. Her eyes brightened slightly and she deliberately ordered the butler in a voice that could be heard by the figure on the carriage: "Tell the servant to watch this car."
The carriage contains valuable gifts for Baron Joseph, and my good friend the Baron has been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Okay miss."
The housekeeper called the maid to hold an umbrella and then turned around to give instructions to the servants.
Erin's farewell gift, is she also going to the Lennon Islands?
Hearing the familiar name, Lu Li raised his eyes slightly and stopped the carriage behind the lady's carriage.
The guard stepped forward to collect the information and told Lu Li to wait for four more carriages before setting off.
"Is the quantity fixed?" Lu Li asked.
"The more people there are, the safer it is. Who knows if there are those ghosts outside the city?" the guard said, leaving the carriage and walking towards a carriage approaching slowly from the far side of the street.
After opening the car door and telling Anna and Aunt Mary that he would be leaving Himfast soon, Lu Li leaned on the wooden door and waited for the convoy to set off.
Ten minutes later, the last carriage joined the convoy.
The guard holding an oil lamp shouted for the convoy to set off, retreated to the edge, and watched the convoy extending hundreds of meters like a flaming dragon along the road and slowly heading towards the suburbs.
…
On a quiet rainy night, a long line of carriages slowly drove away from Himfast behind them.
The torch oil lamp on the carriage glowed with a dim yellow light.
Lu Li was driving the carriage, his eyes reflecting the fire dragon in front of him and the surrounding darkness.
"Should we take Annie with us?"
Invisible Anna sat next to Lu Li and asked softly.
"She can survive in the elm forest."
A tree cannot make it across the ocean alive to the uninhabitable Lennon Islands - even if it is transforming into something truly weird.
"Um."
It was quiet in front of the carriage.
Following the deep ruts on the road, Lu Li returned to the carriage when he was far enough away from Himfast.
Aunt Mary was already asleep. Lu Li changed the gauze on the wound, ate some more food, leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes.
Anna, who was keeping vigil at night, silently watched Lu Li's sleeping face for a moment. When his breathing stabilized, he floated out of the carriage and released his own wraith aura, warning of the things hidden in the darkness around him.
The unconcealed aura dispersed and was quickly noticed by the exorcists of the joint organization in the motorcade. They hurried from the front of the motorcade, only to see an illusory girl figure sitting in front of the carriage and driving the carriage.
After a brief pause, the exorcists made some guesses, bowed slightly towards Anna with complex expressions, and silently retreated to the front of the convoy.
In the quiet night with only the sound of wheels turning and drizzle falling, the fire dragon convoy drove quietly. Except for the occasional brief stop for unknown reasons, and carriages from nearby towns joining the convoy, most of the time everything went smoothly.
Anna, who has long been accustomed to darkness and silence, sat in front of the carriage without being disturbed.
The darkness and silence lingered around Anna for a long time, and she heard the sound of Lu Li waking up in the carriage.
"How long have I been asleep?" Lu Li asked Anna, who was floating back to the carriage.
"It's less than half an hour until dawn."
Lifting the curtains and pushing open the windows, cold air poured into the car.
In front of the motorcade, a flash of fish belly white is emerging.
After closing the window to block the moisture outside, Lu Li rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Where are you?"
"Ten minutes ago, the convoy guard shouted that we are still ten miles away from Sugard Mountain."
Lu Li stood up and walked out of the car. The cold outside made his groggy mind regain some clarity.
Under the illumination of an oil lamp, his breath smelled vaguely white.
Lu Li raised his head to look at the fading dark sky in the distance, and then suddenly fell into a shadow.
It was a huge figure that even all humans could not understand. The deathly darkness around it was darker than the night, and its whole body was shrouded in a gauze-like dark cloak that fluttered in the wind.
No matter how Lu Li looked, he couldn't penetrate the thin layer of gauze to see the essence of the outline. It stood on the road where the motorcade passed, and the motorcade passed under its feet, and it was already halfway through, as if the road could not be seen.
The huge silhouette has always stood there.
No one noticed anything strange above their heads. Even if they looked up at the sky, the people chatting in the carriage could only see the dark clouds before dawn.
"Can you see it?"
On the carriage, Lu Li, who was dozens of meters away from it, was almost at its feet. Lu Li stared at this huge silhouette with a sense of terror and oppression, and whispered.
There’s nothing…a door?”
Lu Li shook his head slightly: "Maybe it's a projection of low sanity."
For a moment, he did think it was the "Gate" or the "terrible faceless giant" who was the culprit of the Zernst tragedy.
This also alerted Lu Li.
Both sanity values and "doors" have entered the second stage, and their boundaries have begun to become blurred and difficult to distinguish.
When an illusion appeared in front of Lu Li's eyes, was it a projection of his sanity or a visit from the "Gate"?
This would affect Lu Li's immediate judgment and actions.
Extending further above this, if the root causes of the two problems are not solved, even if you hide in the safe Lennon Islands, the shadow of the "door" will follow you like a shadow, and danger will always be around you.
Regarding the recovery of sanity, you can ask Remi and the Jimmy brothers. They should have arrived in Belfast. Regarding the latter, Richard has not been caught yet. He led Lu Li into a trap, so he must know something.
Lu Li was thinking as he watched the carriage pass by the foot of the huge cloak silhouette. He turned around and looked again at the still silhouette facing Sugard Mountain.
The cloak also covered its face, and there was some kind of darkness growing under the cloak that Lu Li couldn't look directly at.
It was not like those projections from the other world that Lu Li saw when he entered the second stage, casting a malicious and malicious gaze in an attempt to influence Lu Li.
It stood solemnly in front of Sugard Mountain, seeming to be looking into the distance, ignoring the row of ants passing by at its feet, and ignoring an ant looking up at it.
It may be some kind of coincidence that it appears so close to Belfast.
Or maybe it's some kind of sign.
As the motorcade continued to move forward, it disappeared into the darkness before dawn and was no longer visible to Lu Li.
At the same time, the shouts of the guards came from the front.
"There's Sugard Hill ahead! We're about to arrive in Belfast!"
