The sound of sticky dripping broke into the slowly waking consciousness.
Opening his eyes, the oil lamp in his hand emitted a faint light, protecting Lu Li from being invaded by the darkness.
On the dividing line between light and darkness, an illusory figure in a white dress floats, with a hint of concern deep in the cold eyes.
Lu Li returned to the cabin and sat on a stool in front of the restaurant bar. According to Anna, he suddenly appeared there without any warning.
"Is it over?" Anna asked.
"Well, go back and tell you what happened."
Picking up the floating oil lamp, Lu Li walked to the pile of rotten meat where the underground hatch once appeared. The hatch opened, but just like the first closet, there was just an ordinary storage room under the wooden planks.
Suddenly, an afterimage emerged from the storage room, and before Anna could stop it, it disappeared between Lu Li's eyebrows.
"take it easy."
When Anna's breath was restless, Lu Li calmed her down: "Remember what I said about the tentacles the first time? This is the second time."
Lu Li remained calm as if the piece of meat was not his body.
"Are there any hidden dangers?" Anna said as her flying hair gradually fell.
"This is the only way to go."
The second of the three tests has been passed, and the third test is likely to appear on the carrier of "eyeballs".
And by then, no matter what the test itself wants to tell Lu Li, no matter what Richard's conspiracy is, it will be fully revealed.
But there is another faster way: capture Richard.
There was no need to stay in the cabin, so Lu Li and Anna walked to the deck.
"How long has it been?"
"Ten minutes."
The passage of time in the outside world was similar to what Lu Li felt, but this was the first time that Lu Li lay in bed all night...
Maybe he really fell asleep at that time.
Back on the deck, Belfast in the distance is like a city in a sketch, shrouded in lead-colored lines.
The gloomy sky and the falling drizzle made Lu Li feel like he was in another world.
Tower Wind City...
The map of the entire continent is in the suitcase of the detective agency. You can check whether it actually exists in the Main Continent after you return.
Lu Li wanted to know if the story of this experience really happened, or if it was just an illusion in an illusory space.
But either way, it means that it may have happened a long time ago - when the light was not shrouded by the clouds that could not be dispersed.
The small passenger ship was anchored on the sea, and the small wooden boat they came from had long since disappeared.
However, you can use the lifeboat on the passenger ship to ride on it, but Lu Li is going to return to the coast, and he is destined not to be as showy as when he came.
"Does it stay here?" Anna asked.
"Contact the joint organization to deal with it after landing." Lu Li answered.
Although the trouble has been resolved, the ship, laden with corpses and rotting meat, cannot be left to rest on the sea a few nautical miles away from Belfast.
"Um."
Anna threw the lifeboat into the sea, carried Lu Li into the lifeboat, controlled the force, and made the small wooden boat sail towards the coast with an unobtrusive force. However, if the crew and passengers of the nearby ship looked with binoculars, they would see
The figure on this small wooden boat did not paddle.
…
At 4:30 in the afternoon, unrest was brewing in the port.
There were only a few ships left on the dark sea surface, and the wooden bridge leading to Rodster Harbor had been closed, with figures in black uniforms walking through it.
Something happened, and the crowd at the port was in a commotion, and the noise mixed with the sound of the whistle echoed in the distance.
A large number of police officers are evacuating people from streets along the coast and driving away tourists on the beach.
A lifeboat washed up on the beach, slid two or three meters, and ran aground on the dark gravel.
Lu Li, holding an oil lamp, stepped off the wooden boat and looked not far away.
A few dozen meters away, three police officers were walking towards us.
Lu Li greeted them and said before the police officer spoke: "There is an anchored passenger ship about three nautical miles away from Crescent Bay. The weird one killed everyone on the ship before. I have eliminated the weird one. Please contact the people from the joint organization.
ending."
After a brief pause, Lu Li added: "Just in case, beware of possible sanity pollution."
"I...I understand, may I ask who you are...?" the police officer asked stumblingly. For some reason, they seemed nervous.
"Senior Investigator Lu Li." Lu Li took out his investigator badge and asked, "What happened at the port?"
"It's a strange disease..." the police officer replied subconsciously, and then said more specifically: "A strange disease is spreading in the port and has infected many people. Your colleagues are dealing with it."
Lu Li nodded: "What's wrong with you?"
There was no lie hidden under those dark eyes. The police officer said awkwardly: "I don't know why, but I feel very relaxed when I am around you..."
The three police officers could not describe the feeling, but it was like the cold winter was gone and the warm spring breeze was blowing.
"It's the dawn that adds vitality..." Anna whispered in her ear.
Lu Li said nothing, said goodbye to the police officer, and walked towards the coastal street.
From the current point of view, the increased vitality has no obvious benefits, only obvious disadvantages - the strong vitality will make Lu Li like a firefly in the dark, and he can see it at a glance even from a distance.
To people and monsters.
Leaving a line of footprints on the beach, Lu Li returned to the street.
On the solemn and deserted streets, there were only police officers on duty and a few distant figures.
Looking up to the top of the mountain, towards the end of the building, the gloomy dark clouds are dyed dark yellow by the setting sun behind the clouds.
It's getting dark.
After retrieving the carriage stored in the shop, Lu Li took the reins and drove towards the last hanging bloody tentacle.
If its host is "Eyeball", Lu Li will face the third and final test.
As we leave the coastal streets, the popularity of the streets gradually returns to liveliness.
The horse-drawn carriage drove through the streets where people were passing by, but at a certain moment, commotion came from the distance again.
A horse-drawn carriage or steam carriage drove in the middle of the road, and the workers shouted, and the sound spread out for half a block.
"Everyone must hide at home before dark and light up three or more light sources. A strange fog will cover the city after dark!"
"People should hide in safe houses with light sources as soon as possible. A strange fog is coming from the sea!"
"All go home! Light all the lamps and fireplaces, something weird is coming!"
The previously orderly people on the street became panicked, noisy, and rushed to their homes. The street became deserted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lu Li stopped his horse, and the brown horse stopped in front of the intersection leading to different neighborhoods.
Announcements from government personnel also echoed over other neighborhoods, creating disturbing content.
Looking up at the western sky, the color of the clouds had turned dark. It was less than half an hour before dark, and they could not reach the next bloody tentacle before dark.
After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Li pulled up the reins.
The carriage turned around and rushed to the detective agency.
