Anna pursed her lips slightly. She knew clearly that Lu Li's words definitely didn't mean this. He just comforted herself, silently watching Lu Li and asking the town citizen: "You don't have to be afraid, I am an exorcist, and she is my assistant.
"
Lu Li didn't know how to comfort anyone, except Anna. But it was enough as a life-saving straw for the townspeople.
Lu Li signaled Anna to release the townspeople and said, "I have a few questions."
"Of course...of course!"
The townspeople who realized that they could move looked at Anna in fear, trembled all over, and spoke hurriedly while stumbling.
"Who asked you to deliver the letter?"
The frightened townspeople struggled to search through their memories: "I don't know her...she is a very strange woman!"
"woman?"
Anna and Lu Li looked at each other.
The townspeople told Lu Li that the exorcists in Shadow Town hired him and some townspeople with carriages in the town to pull things from Shadow Town to Rose Town. When he was about to go out to work a few minutes ago, a man in a robe appeared.
The mysterious woman came to him and asked him to deliver a letter to the carriage that had just left the town, and gave him dozens of shillings in reward.
The townspeople thought that she was an exorcist and there was no reason not to do something that was rewarding, so they chased Lu Li and the previous scene happened.
"What is it about her that you remember vividly?" Lu Li asked, adding: "Voice, accent, body shape."
The townspeople glanced at Anna secretly, and quickly glanced away as if they were burned: "Does it count that she is tall...? She is almost as tall as me..."
"It's okay, thank you for the information." Lu Li said, making Anna disappear.
The disappearance of Anna made the townspeople even more frightened. He almost cried and asked Lu Li if he could leave. After receiving the answer, he took the reins and rushed towards the road he came from.
He didn't dare to take this job in Shadow Town for the time being.
"Is it possible that the townspeople are pretending to be the person behind the scenes?" Anna's voice came from the void. She still had doubts about the identity of the townspeople.
"It may be very small. The people behind the scenes should already know that we have guessed his existence. There is no point in taking the risk and taking the initiative to show up."
"Women..." Anna murmured, thinking about how many women Lu Li knew.
Baron Joseph...the Slavic lady who sent the love letter that he secretly read...Jojo who has left Allen Peninsula...
A mysterious and eerie outline suddenly appeared: "Is it the woman with the bird's beak mask we met in the swamp cabin?"
Anna remembered that she was also very tall, and the brim of her hat with the beak mask was almost as high as Lu Li.
"It may also be a false impression to make us fall into a misunderstanding."
Lu Li did not let the new clues confuse his judgment. He only needed to remember one thing clearly - the only people who knew about the bloody tentacles were Tesla and the investigator headquarters, as well as the instigator Richard.
There is no reason why Tesla did not do this. There may be a possibility of information leakage, but along with the news about the bloody tentacles, there is also information about the terrifying source of pollution, the "door".
The bloody tentacles between the eyebrows have not affected Lu Li so far, but the "door" has never tired of pulling Lu Li into the door again and again.
It is unknown what is in it, but it can be seen from the diary that has been read.
If it is a leak, the person snooping on the information should be more worried about the threat of the "door" rather than the insignificant bloody tentacles - compared to the insignificance of the door.
Behind the letters, Richard's profile is becoming increasingly clear.
However, even if it is confirmed that the person behind the scenes is Richard, it will not fundamentally change Lu Li's current situation.
Unless Richard appears.
Lu Li looked to the south again. Under the gloomy clouds, blood-colored tentacles tens of thousands of meters long were winding down beyond the end of his sight. That was the Main Familiar Continent.
If all the bloody tentacles disappear, will Richard continue to remain secretive?
Lu Li had done this before, trying to force out the hidden Richard. However, after finishing all the bloody tentacles on the Allen Peninsula, Richard still didn't show up, and the bloody tentacles on other continents gathered too far together and gave up.
But now——
Their position has changed and appears to be closer to the Arran Peninsula.
Perhaps like Lu Li, he was summoned by someone behind the scenes?
In any case, this is the best opportunity to completely solve the problem and bring out the existence behind the scenes.
Looking back, Lu Li turned his head and asked the emerging Anna: "Do you want to see a new place?"
Anna knew what Lu Li was referring to, she frowned and said softly: "The letter asks you to stay in Allen Peninsula."
Lu Li replied: "That person just doesn't want me to leave the Allen Peninsula for too long. Although the other tentacles are close to the Allen Peninsula, they are still outside."
"The other tentacles are approaching the Allen Peninsula? What does that person want to do..."
"Perhaps his plan is about to begin."
Just as Lu Li felt that the world was becoming increasingly dangerous and wanted to seek refuge in the Lennon Islands, the people behind the scenes sensed the same crisis and began to launch a plan.
In any case, as a victim of the passive pull-in plan, Lu Li could not let it continue.
"I will go wherever you go."
Hearing Anna's soft voice, Lu Li pulled up the reins.
"Then let's go."
Turn right at the fork in the road, and the carriage passes by Shadow Town.
The burning smell of gunpowder smoke lingering over Shadow Town still seems to exist, and some figures are walking through the streets of collapsed houses.
After a series of incidents, Lu Li saw that the church that was once the tallest and strongest church in the town had now collapsed into ruins and lost its former glory.
The final outcome of the battle between the old and new swamp mothers ends with the victory of the new swamp mother and the defeat of Shadow Town. The few surviving people will be sent to other towns to live. If the world no longer becomes dangerous, maybe this place will
A town was reborn due to the swamp road.
But its more likely outcome is that as time goes by, this ruins will become a wilderness that no one cares about and dare not set foot in, and wither away together with the thousands of undead who died in Shadow Town.
After bypassing Shadow Town and arriving at the swamp road that was temporarily blocked due to the Shadow Town incident, the carriage drove onto the straight swamp road.
This time the being behind the scenes sent no more letters, and there was only a slowly moving carriage on the swamp road that separated the north and south swamps.
"The existence of the Swamp Mother in the Northern Shadow Swamp is taboo, but there are no strange rumors about the Swamp Road, so the existence inside may not be active."
Lu Li now answered Anna's initial question.
As time passed, dark silhouettes began to appear among the dead trees in the southern swamp on the left.
Shadowmen are the shadows of the Swamp Mother.
The Mother of the Swamp was watching Lu Li passing by.
They just watched silently and did not approach the moving carriage.
During the long journey, Yingchuoren's observation never disappeared. Time passed and it was approaching morning, and the carriage was about to reach the other end of the swamp road.
At the end of the line of sight ahead, a low, gray mountain range gradually emerged.
The Main Continent, the birthplace of civilization, is just ahead.
