One hundred and ninety-two. Looking for her shadow
[The unknown deep sea is as mysterious as a dream - the great explorer Thorasivia Him]
Human beings spend one-third of their time immersed in a magnificent and bizarre world called dreams.
Countless poets and authors have called dreams the second world of human beings. Although dreams are fragmented, irrelevant, and even most of the time just a projection of the real world, there is one thing people agree on: dreams may have mysterious power.
Lu Li met two people who were related to the mysterious power of dreams.
The "Immortal" who may have been dreaming for millions of years now, and Doreen in front of me.
"When will you next fall asleep?" Lu Li asked.
Doreen shook her head: "I don't know... it may be a while, or it may be a few hours later."
Narcolepsy makes Doreen's sleep schedule unpredictable.
Lu Li nodded and accepted the commission: "Dolin will follow us next. If she falls asleep, we will check the surrounding area."
"Please solve the nightmare..." Dom didn't make any sense. He knew clearly how powerful Lu Li and Anna were. If even they couldn't notice the approaching dark shadow in the dream...
Lu Li did not go to the secret passage to observe the forked road. If it was related to the bottomless abyss, Lu Li's presence would not improve the situation.
Dom went to the city hall to report the situation of the secret passage to the city lord, and Doreen followed Lulianna back to the guest room.
"Take it off, you won't need it around us." Anna said to Doreen who entered the guest room wearing protective clothing.
The latter nodded slightly, took off her beak mask and took off her protective clothing, revealing the image of a frail girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. It is difficult to imagine her once cheerful side.
She sat quietly in front of the deserted window, not disturbing Lu Li and Anna, with an indelible heaviness between her brows.
If there were a painter here, he might be able to create an oil painting that could be called a work of art.
New information about the secret passage came soon after - the exorcists blocked the branch road again with wooden planks and continued to explore to the exit of the secret passage. It was an ancient sentry tower in the wilderness in the eastern part of the city-state. Bloody dandelions were also shrouded there, but in a limited number.
It is on the edge of the dandelions, and the scavengers continue to explore, looking for areas that are not contaminated by dandelions.
The follow-up plan will be for workers to reach the other end through the secret passage and build simple buildings around them that can block them. If the scavengers have good news, such as successfully finding an uninfected area, the plan will make some minor changes, such as building
Create a long corridor leading to the uninfected area.
Anna turned on the radio, which constantly circulated to remind citizens to hide in their homes and not go out, and announced part of the evacuation plan to ease citizens' anxiety.
During this period, Valentine and Dom came to Lu Li and asked about the possibility of a strange invasion at night - the broken Lunde could no longer withstand the invasion from other strange things. But if the evacuation plan started in the afternoon, not only would there not be enough time
Establishing a temporary safety zone on the other side of the tunnel will tear the people into two parts.
Lu Li couldn't answer Valentine's question because it was more elusive than the weather.
Valentine sighed and left, and Dom followed his sister after saying a few words of concern for his sister.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Flalund, who was surrounded by disaster and was in a difficult situation, finally got some good news. They successfully contacted the St. Ann's Bunker 230 miles east of Lunde, which was not within the wind direction of Dandelion, and promised to receive the citizens of Lunde.
The scavengers also discovered the distance between the secret passage exit and the outside of the dandelions: 13 miles.
A long distance, but one that won’t make people despair.
Fortunately, people had no shortage of building materials for the time being. They demolished the ownerless houses, carefully disinfected them with flames, and then sent them to the other end through a secret tunnel to build a long corridor.
But even if all the workers are sent out and work non-stop at night, it will take at least noon tomorrow to build a 13-mile long corridor.
Citizens must also spend a night in Lund with fear - but some people are not included.
Anna went to the window and looked down at the square with Doreen.
A group of nobles and wealthy men gathered in the square wearing better protective clothing and asked the city lord Valentine to let them evacuate first. Dom stepped forward to explain but was slapped by a noblewoman. If he hadn't failed to stand still and fell, it would have caused a commotion
With mocking laughter, maybe the noble lady would let the attendants beat him half to death.
The people in the square are angry and helpless? Although the city of Flalende was destroyed by the dandelions, the order is not there yet. The order has not completely collapsed for a day? These people are destined to be high and enjoy privileges.
The city lord didn't say anything without looking at him? Just let the scavenger take these arrogant guys into the garden and leave through the secret passage?
However, Valentine also made his own protest: from beginning to end, he never showed up in front of these nobles.
"It's unimaginable that there would be such stupid people at this time..." Anna said with disdain for them.
"It's not stupid, it's just that they care more about themselves than their reputation." Lu Li replied, looking through Lilia's books in front of the fireplace.
Reputation is the most important and most useless thing.
Aren’t the rich and nobles worried about their reputation? Can a bad reputation trip them up? Even if it could, as long as some insignificant, insignificant, worthless things leak out from their hands, the common people will gratefully spread the word that the noble is a good person.
.
"Humans..." Anna whispered as she watched Dom being comforted by others in the square.
At this time, Doreen's head in front of the window suddenly drooped and fell to one side.
Invisible hands held her up, and Anna raised her eyes to look at Lu Li: "She fell asleep."
"Take her to bed."
Lu Li, who was by the fireplace, put down his books, stood up and walked to the bed, took off his sanity counter and put it on Doreen's wrist.
No sound? He looked at Anna.
"I can't feel anything..." Anna replied, staring at the girl's peaceful sleeping appearance with her brows spread out: "She didn't wake up? Maybe it wasn't the nightmare?"
"Maybe."
Lu Li opened the guest room door and asked the waiter outside to call Dom and bring the bell to wake up Doreen.
A few minutes later, Dom hurried over, carrying an old bell that he had removed from somewhere.
"Do you want to wake her up..." He looked at his sister distressedly and asked urgently.
"Wait a minute, she's just asleep." Lu Li replied. "Will there be any side effects in waking her up?"
"Maybe I'll fall asleep again..."
"Then wake up."
Lu Li backed away from the bed, and Dom stepped forward and shook the bell gently.
Ding bell——ding bell——
The crisp sound of bells, which was as comforting as the firelight of the fireplace, overflowed, and Doreen slowly woke up to the sound of the bells.
"I... fell asleep again?" She looked around confusedly and sat up from the bed.
Dom put down the bell and breathed a sigh of relief.
