153. Camouflage

If Anna were in the city, where would she be?

Lu Li thought.

There were only a limited number of places they had been to: the hotel, the investigator base, the hills, and the University of Sythes. Lu Li had already explored the hotel when he went to the university, and the room was now occupied by a strange gray mist disguised as a woman.

——It was seen by Lu Li lying on the window sill admiring the scenery.

Along the corridor, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Lu Li stared at him, and he also noticed Lu Li, his expression changed, he looked away, and hurriedly passed by Lu Li.

History Professor Gavel York is actually still alive...

Lu Li did not call Gavel York, nor did he turn around to observe, but just passed by.

But soon, Gavel York took the initiative to find Lu Li. He caught up with Lu Li from behind amid the sound of hurried footsteps. As he passed by, he secretly stuffed a note into Lu Li's pocket and turned into the garden with the pocket in his pocket.

Lu Li raised his eyes and looked out the window as if he were looking at the sky. In the reflection of the Upside Down City, the place where Gavel York stood was empty.

"Is he weird..." Doreen Fowley lowered her voice. She felt that the man was strange.

"I don't know." Lu Li looked away. "You don't have to follow me all the time."

Doreen Fowley frowned and replied: "I'm worried that something strange will happen if we separate... It might be safer to go together."

"I want to observe the school. Walking together will attract attention." Lu Li replied and walked towards the garden.

Lu Li walked into the garden. Doreen Fowley stopped at the end of the corridor, her toes hanging on the edge of the steps. After hesitation, she said, "Then I'll wait for you back in the classroom...be careful."

"Um."

Lu Li raised his head and did not see the silhouette of Doreen Fry from the edge of the steps.

Seeing Doreen Foley walking away and disappearing around the corner, Lu Li took out the note from his pocket and unfolded it.

【office】

It was scrawled in the ubiquitous wet mud.

Lu Li, who understood what Gavier York meant, put away the note and went to Gavier York's office.

Knock knock knock——

"Who?"

Knocking on the door, nervous questioning sounded from behind the door. After getting the answer, there was a sound of heavy objects being moved behind the door.

Squeak——

The door was opened, revealing Gavel York gasping for breath in the dark room and the sofa tilted behind the door.

"You really found him..." Gavel York's face was full of joy. He was worried that Lu Li was pretending to be a weirdo, but fortunately Lu Li found this place and proved that he was not a weirdo.

Looking out into the corridor, Gavel York closed the door and hung the latch, and asked eagerly: "Are you here to save us?"

Lu Li shook his head: "I'm trapped here just like you."

Gavier York, who kept licking his lips nervously, lost all color on his face, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "So... how is the situation outside?"

"This is just a microcosm of the outside world."

Lu Li's words made Gavel York's hope collapse, and he lay faceless on the sofa behind the door.

"I'm looking for someone." Lu Li walked to the window and opened the curtains. The office was relatively "brighter". "Anna who was with me before... the person in the cloak, has she been here?"

"I don't know... no one has looked for me. Only Kig Foley... But when I saw that guy again dozens of minutes later, he was only half alive..."

To be precise, it was a pair of legs. He could identify the owner of the lower body only by the pair of shoes.

That memory almost broke his spirit, so much so that Gavel York didn't want to stay here anymore: "Will you save me?"

"How do I get out of here?" Lu Li asked.

Gavel York replied that there will be an exam after a few classes, and those who pass it will not be limited to the University of Sythes.

It's just that Gavel York didn't know what the exam was about.

Lu Li asked again what was thrown at that time, and Gavel York told him with a trembling voice that when everything just started, the continuous screams almost resounded over the city, and the church bells echoed. But it only lasted ten minutes.

It disappeared, leaving only the still frequent screams.

This hellish horror scene lasted for dozens of minutes. Gavel York, who hid in the cabinet and covered his ears, felt whispers ringing in his mind.

The voice told him the "rules of the game" and gave him an identity - still a history professor.

It's just that the students changed from human to weird.

At this time, Kig Foley found Garvel York. Kig Foley realized what would happen if this rule continued for a period of time, so he joined forces with Garavill York and made secret codes for each other.

"My code is 'Here is the bread' and his code is 'Is it fifteen shillings a pound?'"

Then Fauré left Gavel York's room, intending to gather as many survivors as possible. Then on the way to lecture, Gavier York saw half of Fauré's body...

"His body should be in the northwest corner of the Rhododendron Garden."

Lu Li continued to ask: "Does Kig Foley have a sister?"

"I never heard him mention...what's wrong?"

So Lu Li told Gavel York about Doreen Foley.

"Wait, you mean she knows a lot about you and Kig Foley?" Gavel York's expression suddenly fell into great fear, and beads of sweat appeared on his pale face.

His appearance made Lu Li frown: "What did you remember?"

"I...I'm not sure..." Gavel York stumbled and replied.

He did know something...something weird about killing and eating half of Kig Foley.

That was what one of the survivors found by Kig Foley told Gavel York when he was still alive. He said that the one who killed Kig Foley was a monster that could devour souls and memories, so it could disguise itself as

The people it eats.

The unlucky Kig Foley was killed because he didn't expect that there would be a strange person with human memories.

"So you said that cousin who knows a lot about Foley..." Gavel York trembled all over and did not say the next words.

Lu Li didn't think so, and there was still some confusion: "If she is weird, should she come to you after getting her memories?"

"I don't know, maybe not all of them were eaten...?" Gavel York replied tentatively: "Half of Foley's body is where the rhododendron bushes used to be...in the northwest corner of the garden."

It sounds reasonable, but memories are stored in the brain. Even if this weird world allows the soul to have memories, it does not mean that the lower body can also store memories, at least not for humans.

Lu Li was thinking, and Gavel York was waiting for him to finish thinking. At this moment, dull footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor outside the office, and they came closer and closer.
