Lu Li turned his head and said to Anna who was holding an oil lamp.
The "door" entering the second stage should transition from "listening" to "seeing", but Lu Li still needed to confirm just in case.
Anna nodded slightly, and Lu Li continued to look at the content behind.
[The flames of vengeance are about to sweep across, and you and those closest to you will be burned in the fire of hell - just kidding]
Seeing this, we can already confirm that this letter was indeed written by Richard.
[Just to scare you, if you read this message, I should have been killed by you, the executioner, but it may also be that the benevolent savior Richard spared you, the abominable thief]
[No matter what, I have something I need you to do. You can take this as an order. Of course, if this word makes you uncomfortable, you can also take it as a plea.]
[First of all, I must clarify. How can I, who aims to be the savior, be troubled by money? Don’t underestimate me. I can steal food from my neighbors or dig through trash cans when I’m hungry! All the money I can ask for from you is
I gave alms to those orphans]
[But in fact, we all know that that little money is not enough. Poor little Jimmy, the last time I went to see him, he was actually licking the rocks from the beach, and the gurgling sound from his stomach was louder than the sound of the waves]
[I need you to bring them some food and take care of them as much as possible. Your heart is so evil. A little kindness will not change your overall temperament]
[You can find them under the tail alley. Enter through the sewer at the beach. Don’t enter the wrong sewer. There is a sign at the entrance of where they live, called “Little Adults’ Home”]
[Take care of them for me, if you can't...]
[The only thing I can blame is this damn world]
[Don’t forget to do it—from Richard who doesn’t care about the past grudges you killed]
Turning over the filled letter, there was nothing else behind it.
"Could it be a trap?" Anna raised her head and asked.
"have no idea."
The madman is full of uncertainties, and this letter exacerbates this, making Richard's character even more contradictory: a madman who turned thousands of innocent citizens into human pus in order to stop them, would actually do it because of some homeless people.
He showed great kindness to the orphans who had returned home.
But the word "madman" is enough to explain everything.
"It's better to go now after dinner." Anna knew Lu Li would go, even if it might be a trap.
Lu Li raised his head and looked out the window. The fog had made the deserted street gray, making it darker than before.
"Go over now."
A group of hungry and weak children cannot safely survive the strange fog tonight.
Leaving an oil lamp for the sculpture and the sleeping black cat, Lu Lianna left the longhouse and jumped over the roof to approach the coastal street.
Before going to the sewer and grocery store, Lu Li went to the investigator base to exchange some shillings, see if Tesla had sent a message, and find out what was in the sea.
Belfast was covered in fog that made it difficult to tell the direction, and it became difficult to see clearly even ten meters away. Ignoring the various emotions of passers-by during the low-altitude flight, Lu Li arrived at the maintenance station ten minutes later.
Unfortunately, Tesla did not send a letter, and the members of the joint organization who stayed at the base also knew nothing about the strange things emerging on the sea. He told Lu Li that the joint organization was at the port, preparing to detect and eliminate the strange things.
The sooner the weirdness that creates the fog is resolved, the better Belfast can survive.
Fortunately, it could be exchanged at the investigation point, and Lu Li exchanged it for 5,000 shillings, at the normal ratio of 1:10.
After leaving the base, Lu Li went to the grocery store he had visited several times.
Grocery stores are the only ones allowed to open in Belfast at the moment because they are essential.
There are still some stocks of canned goods. Common people usually only eat black bread and dried salted fish. Most people cannot afford the "luxury" of canned food.
Lu Li bought two boxes of canned pork at a price of 20 shillings per can.
Compared with 12 shillings half a month ago, the price has almost doubled.
While waiting for the goods to be stocked, Lu Li noticed that the wild cat he had seen under the eaves outside the store had disappeared.
Or where he died.
Monsters are treated equally, and although they are more willing to attack humans, other creatures are usually not spared. After the disaster of the night, it is unknown how many lives were lost in the long night.
It's hard to tell whether the animals are lucky or unlucky - they can't understand what's killing them.
However, there are still some exceptions. Some small animals have survived, such as rats and flies, but with the collapse of the food chain, the latter have become difficult to see, while the former rely on the cities built by humans to survive.
The clerk who had brought in two boxes of cans returned to the store through the back door and asked Lu Li where he put these things.
"Just let go." Lu Li said.
Anna had already taken over, and two boxes of cans floated to Lu Li's side like balloons. The expressions of the clerk and other customers were ranging from shock to exclamation. Lu Li did not stay, walked out of the store, flew into the fog, and headed for the tail alley on the edge of Crescent Bay.
…
The sound of waves crashing on the beach day and night, and the sea breeze from the deep sea blows with an obscure and ominous atmosphere.
Anna also noticed this, so she floated outside and completely protected Lu Li.
The beach at your feet is mixed with brown mud as it approaches the edge of Crescent Bay. It is not too far from the elm forest, and the lighthouse in the reef area is also on the periphery.
In front of a sewer entrance that had been abandoned for a long time, Lu Li saw the entrance with a wooden sign that Richard had mentioned.
It has the words "Little Adults' Home" crookedly engraved on it.
"stop!"
As they approached the entrance, a child's clear cry rang out, and a thin little girl walked out of the depths of the sewer holding a simple spear made of tree branches.
In the dimness, the big eyes reflecting the oil lamp looked at Lu Li and the wooden box floating beside him: "Are you here to eat us?"
"Richard asked me to come," Lu Li said.
The little girl didn't seem to be afraid of Lu Li's extraordinary power. Her big, dusty but clear eyes blinked and asked, "Did Brother Richard ask you to eat us?"
Lu Li lowered his eyes slightly: "It's food."
Click——
The lid of the wooden box was opened, revealing neatly arranged cans, which at this moment are more inspiring than money.
The little girl swallowed her saliva and pretended to be an adult and said solemnly: "Thank you, come in with me."
As she spoke, she picked up the candle lamp at her feet, blew it out, and walked on the edge of the light of the oil lamp held by Lu Li to lead the way.
Although it is abandoned and there will be no water drainage, it is still damp because it is close to the coastal sewer. As we go deeper, some colorful graffiti drawn by children gradually begins to appear on the wall.
Most of them are food and family members, as well as a figure who looks like Richard - his face is covered in white chalk to represent Richard's pale complexion.
