Coastal town - that's what the local people called her hundreds of years ago.
The original name of this town has disappeared from people's memory due to the long term name. Even officials and maps label it as a "coastal town". Perhaps only the royal library of the Kingdom of Allen records her original name.
The coastal town located at the southern foot of the Deciduous Mountains is already far away from the Allen Peninsula. At least when the land-based carriages drive along the coastline streets, no outline of land can be seen on the sea.
The closest one to it, the Southern Shadow Swamp in the northeast, is nearly a hundred miles away.
The coastal town has a population of less than four thousand people - this population is much larger than most towns on the Allen Peninsula, but compared with other towns in the Main Continent, it is just an inconspicuous town.
In comparison, its popularity far exceeds that of small towns with a larger population.
Binhai Town is a tourist town. Its mild environment, comfortable climate, kind residents, and close proximity to the mountains and sea make it a tourist town that supports mainland civilization.
In addition, it is difficult for hurricanes to bypass the Allen Peninsula and hit here,
Except for the hurricane "Arthur" of unknown origin more than a month ago.
However, the increasingly serious environment has still affected the coastal town at the foot of the mountain. The decrease in tourists and the departure of some residents have made the place much deserted.
Anna sat next to Lu Li in the void, clinging to him gently without being noticed, quietly admiring the traditional architecture of the coastal town. The architecture here is very different from the architecture on the Allen Peninsula, and Anna cannot subdivide the differences between them.
The difference can only be attributed to cultural heritage and freshness.
There are also clean and tidy streets and beautiful milky white beaches.
The gloomy sky did not ruin the atmosphere too much. Seagulls were flying over the coast. The laughter of children turned into black spots came from the beach and the cool afternoon sea breeze. It was not noisy, but it was not deserted either.
From the perspective of passers-by, some of them are obviously foreign tourists.
The quiet coastal town seemed to have never been troubled by strange things, and Anna suddenly had the urge to settle here.
It was just her and Lu Li.
Wow——
A poster that had fallen on a bench on the street was blown by the sea breeze, spun around and flew towards the passing carriage, hitting Lu Li in the face.
Before Anna's rising aura could tear it apart, Lu Li reached out to grab the poster and unfolded it in front of his eyes.
[Lennon Islands, your best choice to escape weirdness and start a new life!]
Below the text, there is a picture of a pair of young lovers cuddling up to the island and coconut trees, and at the bottom is a string of local phone numbers and addresses.
This is a promotional poster for Lennon Islands.
It seems that the Lennon Islands incident has become widely known.
If it weren't for the damn behind-the-scenes presence, she and Lu Li would have been on the big ship heading to the Lennon Islands.
Anna thought coldly.
Squeak—squeak—
A bicycle passed behind the slow-moving carriage and was kicked further and further away by the postman in dark green uniform.
Lu Li turned his attention away from the poster and silently watched the postman go away.
You will never see this type of transport in Belfast.
The terrible uphill and downhill slopes limit the range of activities of bicycles to only a few adjacent streets. Naturally, this extremely low-cost-effective thing will not be accepted by people who mainly use it, and how can people in the upper class do so?
Travel by bike.
"Are the bloody tentacles here?"
When the postman on the bicycle disappeared from sight, Anna's whisper rang in his ears.
"Yes……"
Lu Li's answer was filled with rare uncertainty. He raised his head slightly and looked at the sky above the coastal town, but he only stayed there for a while and then looked at the coastline not far away.
The bloody tentacles hanging in the clouds were...divided into two parts over the coastal town, one hanging from the jagged buildings of the town, and the other hanging to the vast sea.
Twins? Or a similar situation will occur with two bloody tentacles that are too close?
Lu Li didn't know, but what was certain was that the destination of his trip was this town.
At this time, a sound of flapping wings sounded not far away. Lu Li looked towards the direction of the sound. A dark crow flew over and landed on Lu Li's raised arm as passers-by looked at him in surprise.
The bamboo tube on the lower leg indicates the identity of this black crow.
"Get some bread."
Lu Li said, opening the bamboo tube on Black Crow's leg and taking out the note.
The car curtain behind him lifted a corner as if blown by the wind, unnoticed.
【Welcome to the beautiful coastal town】
[Ms. Merlin, the exorcist, lives here. If you, the exorcist/investigator/night watchman, need help, you can go to the psychic divination house at No. 13 Haifeng Street to meet Ms. Merlin]
The above is written on the yellowed paper from some years ago.
Not an investigator organization, but pretty much the same. The Exorcist Society also uses crows as messengers.
After Lu Li read it, he stuffed it back into the black crow's mailbox. The black crow didn't stop, spread its wings and flew away, silent as if it were not a black crow.
Only then did Anna get out of the carriage with half a piece of shriveled bread.
"It left?"
"Um."
Lu Li made a sound and suddenly raised his head and sniffed gently.
The air after the black crows left had a faint smell that had almost dissipated, like the smell of rotten eggs. Or to be more specific, it was the smell of sulfur.
Are there sulfur mines nearby?
Lu Li thought and quickly turned his attention away. The coastal town is at the foot of the Deciduous Mountains, and it is normal for there to be some minerals in the forest.
Look at the number plate of the building on the right, No. 68 Haifeng Street, and straight ahead is the residence of the demon slayer.
There was still some time before dark. Thinking of the contents of the note, Lu Li seemed to be able to visit before dark and find the tentacles. The bloody tentacles hanging down into the town would not take more than three days to arrive here. The exorcist here might
What can be known.
Picking up the reins, the carriage moved forward along Haifeng Street, arriving at its destination No. 13 in a few minutes.
[Psychic Divination House] is written in complicated rose-like fonts on the signboard.
Lu Li stopped the carriage by the roadside, and accompanied by Anna, he walked into the dim cabin.
Candles were scattered all over the floor of the hut. In the center of the room, an old woman was sitting on a round blanket spread on the floor. The candles were arranged in a circle around her and the blanket.
The swaying flames caused the old woman's face to change between light and shadow. She held a handkerchief in her palm, strangely resting it on a low chair with water flowing through it. The water slowly flowed across her wrist, dripping down drop by drop.
Into the copper basin under the low chair.
A middle-aged man was sitting on his knees outside the blanket in a reserved manner, with his back to Lu Li, as if he was waiting for some result.
Tick tock—tick tock—
Amidst the slow sound of water dripping, the old woman sitting surrounded by candles slowly opened her ghostly pale eyes.
