10. The eve of parting

【Dear Lu Li】

[My brother and I received your reply in Belfast. Yes, we came in. The soldiers here will not check the carriages.]

[I received your reply after visiting the detective agency. The longhouse night watchman told us that you left earlier. It’s a pity that we almost passed each other. It’s all my brother’s fault. If only his other body was lighter.

, we can get to Belfast earlier, and maybe we can help you.】

[I wrote this letter and asked the night watchman to stuff it into the crack of the detective agency door later. Then we will go to the refuge point you mentioned, the cliff in the Elm Forest, right? We will wait for you to come back there]

【If we are not lost.】

[Wait a minute, my brother has something to tell you, and he has to write it himself. ]

The handwriting later changed to a scrawled text, full of typos, scratches, and blood stains.

Maybe Jimmy is illiterate, or maybe his condition doesn't support him in writing.

[Lu Li, my sister and I are very grateful to you... You know, I have always felt very sorry. I lied to you and hurt you... when I was in the ruins, or in the story]

【But how did you do it?】

[You made me sober, personally entered the ruins to rescue Remy, did not discriminate against us because we were monsters, and even helped us get out of the story after knowing that we could get out of the story——]

[Remy asked me to rest for a while, but I haven’t finished yet]

[You brought my sister and I a new life. Although it feels uncomfortable to be a monster, but... at least we are still alive, right? 】

[I hope you don’t give up hope, a good person should have a good ending]

【——Your good friend Jimmy】

【——And Remy.】

Wow——

A breeze came into the carriage, lifting the letter paper held by an illusory hand.

"I have a better impression of them." Anna folded the letter paper according to the traces and stuffed it back into the envelope. "Perhaps we can leave the statue of Anne and the refuge to their care."

"Annie will no longer need to be taken care of soon." Lu Li held the reins and swayed gently with the carriage on the muddy and difficult road in the elm forest. "The illusory consciousness of the elm trees that make up the forest is taking care of her. As long as Anne spends a period of time,

During her weak period, she will quickly become stronger due to the forest."

At that time, she will be the uncrowned king of the entire forest, just like the mother of the swamp.

"It's a pity that we can't see it with our own eyes..." A look of loss appeared in Anna's stable scarlet eyes, which were replaced by Lu Li's reflection and indifference in an instant.

She can abandon everything except Lu Li.

"Can Remy and Jimmy make it to the cliff? The Elm Forest does not welcome outsiders."

"They are not weak." Lu Li recalled the content of the story. Jimmy has two bodies, one of which is similar to the Night Demon. It has a powerful body, but has a fatal weakness - his body. Remy... on the surface...

A ghost, but Lu Li didn't think so.

The process of Remy escaping from the altar is briefly mentioned in the story. If you take this section alone, you will know how strange it will be: a weak ghost escaped from the altar where the consciousness of the evil god is awakening.

Between Jimmy and Remy siblings, Remi is also in charge.

But no matter what, they can trust Lu Li as their friend.

"It... what do they look like? Are they the same as me?" Anna, who was sitting next to Lu Li, asked.

"Remy is very similar to you, and more like a living person, except for her cold body and pupils that are all white. I guess she may have new changes, which make her more like a living person."

"So the brother and sister came to the Allen Peninsula from the Main Continent smoothly without any trouble."

Irregular gray-brown substances cling to the hard skin, and the uneven horniness is like rugged rocks in the shallow sea, mixed with incomprehensible weird black stripes, similar to the pattern on the abdomen of a poisonous spider that symbolizes death. Its front jaw is protruding, and some

Like a bloody hyena wandering in the wilderness, it has no lip covering and its ferocious sharp teeth are fully exposed.

The thick claws can hold a person's waist as easily as a person holds a water glass, and the body shape connected to the end of its powerful tail adds an eerie feeling to this terrifying body.

A young man with a skinny figure, as if he had been imprisoned in a dungeon and tortured, stood at the end of the tail. He observed that his legs were fused with the monster's tail, as if he was parasitic on the monster's body.

Jimmy's condition was worse than Lu Li described.

Staring indifferently at the "two people" in front of her, Anna hoped that she could be kinder to Lu Li's friends, but it was difficult for her to invest more emotions in people other than Lu Li.

Moreover, the fact that they were characters in the story gave Anna a sense of unreality.

Lu Li was doing the same thing as Anna and Remy Jimmy opposite, observing.

Lu Li's understanding of Remy and Jimmy was limited to words, and the same was true of them. It was like friends who only communicated through letters were actually standing in front of each other, the sense of strangeness and familiarity intertwined, creating new impressions.

"Mr. Lu Li, we finally meet." Remi, whose eyes were the same as anyone else's but whose complexion was slightly pale, greeted her somewhat cautiously.

She stared into Lu Li's black eyes. Although the appearance and personality of the man in front of her were different from what she imagined, there was no fear or disgust in his eyes that ordinary people should have.

Remi gradually relaxed and smiled implicitly like an ordinary girl: "Thank you for your continued help, we are here."

"Hi... Lu Li."

The skinny Jimmy waved hard at Lu Li.

"You're not in a good condition," Lu Li said.

The thin Jimmy seemed as if he might fall asleep forever and never wake up at any time.

"It's not... not too bad..." Jimmy had to use all his strength to pronounce each syllable. It was very difficult for him to speak.

The monster standing indifferently beside him, as motionless as a knight, then raised its claws and tapped Jimmy's back gently, which was inconsistent with its terrifying appearance.

This was in the eyes of outsiders, but to Jimmy it was just him raising his hand and tapping his back.

Remi looked at her brother distressedly and explained to Lu Li: "He was already like this a week ago. We thought he wouldn't be able to survive coming to Belfast, but fortunately it didn't get worse after that."

"His health is very poor and he can only stay in the carriage most of the time. I will find some books for him to read. Now he seems to be a poet."

Facing Lu Li's gaze, Jimmy struggled to stretch the remaining muscles on his face and showed an ugly smile.

"Go into the refuge and tell me the details, and I'll think of a way." Lu Li said.

The Lu Li in front of him gradually merged with the Lu Li in his memory.

"Thank you..." Remy couldn't help but say.

Lu Li untied the carriage, led the horses towards the refuge, and said nonchalantly, "You said thank you too much."
