After a few seconds, Lu Li lowered his arms, but Anna was still holding him.
This kind of intimacy made Lu Li a little uncomfortable, but Anna's weightlessness did not cause any trouble except for the rattling counter.
Lu Li thought that Anna would let go of him after venting her worries, but dozens of seconds passed, and Anna showed no sign of letting go of Lu Li. She raised her head, blinking unblinkingly, and stared at those close black eyes.
"what are you up to?"
As she gradually approached, Lu Li suddenly said, his tone always calm.
"I...I'm too worried about you."
With twinkling eyes, Anna let go of Lu Li and gently stepped back to distance herself, but still maintained the distance required for an intimate relationship.
"It's okay. Richard is dead, and the problem is half solved." Lu Li looked up at the insane asylum, which had been reduced to dark ruins without any flames, but still radiating heat, and then looked at Sugard Mountain in the distance.
A thin layer of fog obscured the view to the top of the mountain.
"half?"
Looking away from the distance, Lu Li replied: "I don't have time to ask about the secret of the 'door'."
"So our clue is broken..." Anna whispered coldly,
"Not necessarily." Lu Li shook his head gently. Anna looked at him, but he didn't say what it was: "Let's get out of here first."
"The groom is outside the manor, hiding."
"Um."
After talking, Lu Li walked out of the manor, returned to the carriage, and pointed the way to Watchtown for the groom.
The situation in Belfast is unknown, so Lu Li needs to investigate the situation there first.
Ten minutes later, Lu Li and others, who were traveling against the current, arrived at the noisy Watch Town.
Most of the people who had fled from Belfast gathered here, sitting on the streets in confusion or fear. Shouts and cries echoed in the sky and never disappeared.
This carriage from a coastal town stopped in front of a crowded police station. It was equally noisy and noisy inside, and the office area was crowded with residents.
Lu Li found a police officer and was taken to the Sheriff's Office to rescue the Sheriff who was anxiously answering the phone.
"Your Excellency was not sent to solve the incident?" The police chief's fat face showed undisguised disappointment, but he still told Lu Li what happened in Belfast.
In addition to the information that was already known on the road, the police chief also said a lot of other things. For example, the half-repaired Port of Rodster was forced to suspend, and the recovery status is unknown. The strange fog outside the bay is not solved and the port will be difficult to recover.
open.
Fortunately, the strange fog last night did not dissipate until early morning, and the port was temporarily blocked due to the human pus incident, so no fishing boats set sail and encountered bad luck.
"Are there any other weird things?" Lu Li asked the key point.
"Not yet. Those monsters just created a weird fog, but... to be honest, no one knows when they will be expelled and how long the fog will last."
This is why the residents of Belfast and the passengers who have arrived before are leaving there. Apart from the dangers of the strange fog itself, the existential problems it derives are equally serious.
The money saved by the residents at the bottom has already been exchanged for food and kerosene, and most of it has been consumed. Factories, shops, fishing boats do not dare to risk their work, and people who cannot work will only increase the consumption of food reserves. The inability of fleets transporting food to reach Belfast will lower prices.
Exacerbating the rise and creating a vicious cycle.
The longer the strange fog lingers, the greater people's despair.
Although he knew that this would eventually come as time went by, Lu Li still fell into silence when the moment actually arrived.
The fragile ants cannot even withstand the breeze on the eve of a storm.
After coming out of the police station, Lu Li looked up towards the top of the mountain. Under the mist, he could only see a mile or two away. He could see that the road connecting Belfast and Watchtown was crowded with horse-drawn carriages.
"Where to go next?"
Anna's whisper sounded right next to her ears.
"Go back to the detective agency first."
Walking towards the carriage, the coachman was surrounded by some people with luggage, asking how much it would cost to take them to the Main Continent.
Lu Li walked to the carriage, thanked the coachman and went back with him.
After bidding farewell to the coachman and ignoring the crowd of people swarming him again, Lu Li arrived at the carriage house.
As expected, the carriages and horses from the carriage house had already been rented out.
"Fly back after leaving the town." Lu Li said. At this time, there was no point in hiding his extraordinary power.
"good."
Just like he had no time to visit the Mother of the Swamp, Lu Li also had no time to visit Hades who had moved to Watchtown. He bought an oil lamp filled with kerosene at the grocery store and left the town.
To ensure that he would not be seen by too many people and cause a commotion, Lu Li floated up under Anna's ability and rushed to the top of the mountain faster than a carriage.
People along the road were either shocked and shocked, or panicked and frightened.
Knock---------
At a certain moment, the warning sound of the sanity counter was slowly accelerating.
Lu Li frowned slightly, he didn't feel any presence approaching him.
"Anna?" he whispered.
As he finished speaking, the accelerating sanity counter suddenly slowed down again.
Ana's voice sounded beside her: "What's wrong?"
After a slight silence, Lu Li said: "You are a little strange."
"Well...after seeing you, I really want to get close to you..." Anna's whisper sounded in the void. "Even if you carry a vitality that makes me uncomfortable..."
"Because of what?" Lu Li asked, wondering if this was related to the test.
"I don't know the reason..." After a moment's pause, Anna's voice became low: "I can't suppress this feeling... maybe I will hurt you."
"The help you bring is even greater." Lu Li said.
"Um."
What kept Anna from being sad was not only Lu Li's comfort, but also the way to increase her sanity.
Maybe I can give it a try when I get back, Anna thought.
Flying at low altitude along the road, Lu Li was quickly approaching Belfast.
This is specifically reflected in the fact that the fog shrouding the surroundings gradually thickens, and the visual range changes from one or two miles to hundreds of meters, and then to within tens of meters.
On the road below, the red mist-stained torches in the convoy prevented Lu Li from losing his way. As the sky grew dark, Lu Li returned to Belfast.
Anna originally wanted to fly over Agate Lake with Lu Li, but when she got closer there, a disturbing and ominous aura shrouded the surroundings.
There is something strange in Agate Lake.
After bypassing Agate Lake, Anna took a low-altitude flight and returned to Sailor Street.
The excitement before leaving in the early morning no longer existed, and the streets became deserted and quiet again. It was difficult to say whether the people were hiding at home or leaving the city.
Lu Li returned to the longhouse, nodded to the residents and took out the key from under the damp carpet and inserted it into the door.
rustle--
The door opened against the floor, Lu Li lowered his head, and an unsigned letter lay in front of the door.
After closing the door, Lu Li picked up the letter, opened it, unfolded the letter and looked at the contents.
