The colonization of the Allen Peninsula originated after the war. Due to the strange appearance, the Demon Slayer Association mediated the war, and Macdonald I abandoned the city wall, claiming that it was for the sake of openness and commerce.
Although most people know that the reason is that building city walls is expensive.
Subsequent successors implemented this concept, thus creating the prosperity of Belfast.
【Himfast is ready to deal with the invasion of strange fog! 】
On the sixth day after returning to the Elm Forest, the picture on the news was of a "preparation" that stretched out to surround Himfast and was surrounded by countless wooden stakes.
Cutting down whole trees from the forest more than ten miles away, cutting off the branches and driving them into the ground is the fastest way to build a city wall.
It doesn't need to be very strong, after all, the city wall will not be dealing with catapults and soldiers.
When night falls, the burning brazier on the wooden wall will block the strange fog that comes from the place.
Jimmy took the newspaper Lu Li had read and went to find Remi who was guarding the farmland. The soft soil was darker than the surroundings and Remi had watered it not long ago.
Hua Hua——
The branches above the head swayed gently, and the young leaves quietly emerged from the dark brown branches, seeming to welcome the coming figure.
An illusory white hand held the book and handed it to Lu Li. After Lu Li took it, Anna sat next to her with her skirt pressed up, her hands resting on her knees like a lady.
"You have read too many memories recently." Lu Li's eyes stayed on Anna for a moment, then returned to the open book. "She has already affected you."
Memory can affect a person more than books, plays and stories.
Just like a little boy who hears a heroic story for the first time, he will have long-lasting fantasy and admiration. He may even be overwhelmed by the story and imagine that he is the hero.
"They always appear involuntarily when doing something." Anna said silently. Sara's memories appeared like memories, even more frequently.
When preparing food for Lu Li, the memory of Sara preparing food for Adam will emerge. When Lu Li is asleep, she will unconsciously recall Sara looking at her lover lovingly in the mirror after Adam falls asleep every night. Even hunting will remind her of Sara.
The power of the dead in La's Death Game.
Even when I'm doing nothing, Sara's memory comes to mind.
This is inevitable, just like humans cannot stop breathing and thinking.
"Don't lose yourself." Lu Li could only say this.
Lu Li didn't know what Anna was suffering from, but it was definitely beyond his imagination.
"Don't worry, no matter what...I won't hurt you." Anna showed a gentle and beautiful smile.
Late that night, Lu Li had a rare dream that reflected reality.
After the incident in King Allen City, Lu Li agreed to Anna's suggestion to give up dealing with Sarah and Adam, and returned to Towerwind City with York and the others, staying there for a day.
During this period, they went to the church. The radio on the podium turned into an evil spirit broadcast. There was also a vague figure in the confessional. When Lu Li walked by, a piece of parchment floated out from the gap.
[Don’t agree to Adam’s request] it says.
Bang——
Lu Li was awakened by his beating heart, and a faint crackling sound came from the fireplace. Anna in front of the desk tilted her head, and half of her face illuminated by the oil lamp showed tenderness: "Did you have a nightmare?"
Lu Li may be regretting it, but who knows.
Entering dreamland again, maybe because the interval is so short, the dreams are continuous together.
This time it's the other way around.
After leaving the church, Anna whispered about the pain of being deprived of all her senses after losing her body, losing her beating heart, and her heart became cold again.
Anna wanted the blood to flow through her body again.
The hustle and bustle downstairs of the hotel almost woke up Lu Li, who was asleep due to sleepiness. A group of gangsters broke into the hotel to cause trouble. Anna coldly kicked them out of the hotel.
One of the gangsters was so frightened that he stumbled to the ground. Anna's twisted shadow caught up with him and stepped into his shadow.
Chaotic memories flooded into Anna's mind, along with the huge memories came the beating heart and the blood flowing in her body.
In a restaurant in Tafeng City, the surrounding diners and waiters watched in astonishment as a young man crazily stuffed food into his mouth. His belly was as full as a pregnant woman's.
Before the worried boss approached, the young man fell down on the dining table and his shadow quietly left.
Anna doesn't like this body...
The chaotic memory made her become a little different from usual. Anna's projection wandered around the streets, and soon stepped into the shadow of a delicate-looking girl again.
"This won't work either..."
Anna murmured, the girl's memory is more complicated than imagined.
Anna's projection was wandering around Towerwind City, looking for a suitable body. When Lu Li woke up from his dream, Anna was no longer the same as before.
The mottled memories dispersed her consciousness, although Anna was still Anna and had not become a collective consciousness.
But her way of thinking and behavior are all mixed together by those memories.
A stranger named Anna.
Stare into the abyss for too long, and the abyss will stare back.
…
The next morning, a new "Investigator Weekly" appeared at the same time as a piece of good news.
"We succeeded." An Lei clenched her fists next to the farmland.
Among the dark brown soft soil, dazzling green buds poked out of the soil.
Whether it's a weed emerging from its slumber or a jicama sprout, it's the first plant to grow in the cultivated land.
Although Annie had grown leaves as big as a fingernail two days ago, the nameless plant in the flowerpot was as tall as a finger.
An Lei finally resisted the urge to dig out and check, and waited until the businessman left before turning her attention to asking Lu Li what was written in the "Investigator Weekly".
"The development of a new disaster in the Badlands."
The exorcists have arrived at the source of the disaster, leaving only an oasis of dead trees and decaying villages.
The weekly report states that the progress is going well. In order to prevent a devastating disaster like the Plant Disaster and Night Disaster from happening again, every member of the team is extremely careful and conscientious. Maybe good news will come out in the near future.
In the afternoon, Anna returned from hunting and found an interesting thing: a fishing cage.
So in the early morning of the next day, after the strange fog receded, the residents of the Elm Forest, except Ampere and the children, temporarily left the top of the cliff and headed to the reef area below the cliff with Anna.
The sound of the waves was clearer and louder than on the top of the cliff, and the black waves crashed against the rocks, creating white spray.
The waves below the cliff are too big. Instead of worrying about whether you can catch fish, you should worry more about whether the fishing cages surrounded by barbed wire will be blown away by the waves.
In the shallow water near the edge of the reef area, Anna hung up the bait, tied the rope to the reef, and then lowered the fishing cage.
I have to come in the afternoon or tomorrow to check the harvest, and I might not catch anything——
But more than the harvest itself, they enjoyed the ritual of the event itself.
Remi and Jimmy stood on the rock submerged in their calves and felt the sea breeze. Lu Li raised his black eyes and looked at the ruins of Belfast behind him, and then at the unmanned lighthouse standing on the edge of the rock.
