Remi held the plank and floated it up to the roof of the wooden house, nailing holes that were usually ignored.
The wooden patches around the wooden house are as ugly as a shedding lamb, but they are also inexplicably reassuring.
"Do you need a rest tonight?"
Remi floated down and was suddenly asked by Lu Li.
"Normally, you don't use it. You only need to rest and recover after you have exhausted your strength... What happened?" Remi looked at Lu Li strangely.
"If you can, please spend some time with Anna these evenings."
Lu Li didn't give a reason, but Remi had some guesses. Anna's personality had changed a lot, and something must have happened that she didn't know about.
Remy thought: "Maybe we can have a party."
reunion……
There may have been only a handful of gatherings during the long period of Sarah's experience as an evil spirit. If a gathering were held, it would not stir up Sarah's memory too much.
"How to open it?"
"Leave it to me and my brother. I'll go talk to Miss Anna about the party now. When do you want to hold the party?"
"Before the storm comes."
"That's tonight." Remi understood, put down the hammer in her hand and walked towards the cave.
A child was clumsily helping its companion to pick off the mud stuck to the burnt skin. Remi walked around them, found Anna, and told her about the party, not forgetting to mention that it was Lu Li who proposed the party——
Anna should have guessed Lu Li's intention.
Anna, who was holding the book, tilted her head slightly. She had indeed guessed Lu Li's intention: "Now?"
"Later." Remi was a little envious of the relationship between Anna and Lu Li. This clumsy concern was much more romantic than the plot in the novel.
"Well... then I'll go to Belfast to find some ingredients and wine." Anna closed the book with a dozen pages left to read, and left the cave to find Lu Li. "I'll go to Belfast to find some for the party.
thing."
"Pay attention to safety." Lu Li's tone was as calm as ever.
"I will."
Anna raised her white palms, stood on tiptoes, and touched Lu Li's head. She then kneaded his black hair into pieces and floated them into the elm forest.
At this time, Jimmy walked out from the back of the wooden house holding a pile of freshly sawed boards. He greeted Lu Li, looked up at the sky strangely and muttered: "Has the wind started to blow already..."
Remi returned to the wooden house and continued to work. The brother and sister repaired their own wooden house, and then went to help Adangfua strengthen her wooden house, as well as the children's.
Anna returned at four o'clock in the afternoon. In the cellar of an aristocratic mansion, she found a box of red wine, a box of canned swan meat, and several sets of unused silver tableware.
Jimmy stayed on the top of the cliff to build a bonfire, while Remi followed Lulianna to the rocky area below the cliff, holding the rope and pulling out the fishing cage.
Three rat-sized fish were struggling and beating in the cage after being separated from the sea water, and several conches were stuck to the wire mesh.
The invisible hand grabbed three sea fish with their mouths and gills open and closed and approached Anna. They were normal sea fish and did not have any strange organs or features.
They put new bait into the sea water and waited until the fishing cage sank into the invisible depth of the sea water before returning to the top of the cliff.
Remy opened the belly of the fish and threw the internal organs to Jimmy for dessert.
"Although I can eat anything, but..." Jimmy looked at the internal organs thrown on the ground covered with sand, and complained to his sister: "Can you show some respect to your brother?"
"If you don't want it, I'll go and use it as fertilizer for Annie." Remi strung the sea fish on a branch and said without looking back.
Normally, Jimmy would have eaten him with his monster clone...but anyway, he could have grilled fish at night.
"Give it to Annie." He said, then he stretched out his paws to grab the internal organs and buried them under Annie's tree.
Hua Hua——
Annie responded, shaking the bushes slightly.
A bonfire party is more suitable to start in the evening. A group of people gather in front of the bonfire, chatting and grilling food to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the party.
However, these are too conspicuous on the top of the cliff, and it is not safe in the fog after the strange fog has enveloped it.
Therefore, the gathering of the residents of Elm Forest is scheduled to be held before five o'clock in the afternoon. When the strange fog comes from the deep sea, the party will end.
The warm flames roasted everyone in front of the fire. Ampei was dragged over and lay down on the outside of the fire to block the cold and wet sea breeze blowing up the top of the cliff.
Remi, who took over Lu Li's mission, was responsible for livening up the atmosphere. Anna listened quietly, only turning the grilled fish on the bonfire from time to time, sprinkling the spices and lighting up a starlight.
"Remember the small town of Innsmouth? I almost know what's going on with the people there." The conversation inevitably turned to weirdness.
"They should have been infected by a certain existence and their cognition." Remy said after filling the firewood: "As time goes by, not only cognition, but eventually consciousness and self will become the belonging of that existence, just like the pagans."
"At that time, there should be something on your body that attracted that being, so the infected cognition changed the villagers, making them subconsciously want to catch you."
"How do you know this?" Jimmy asked puzzledly. His sister had obviously been staying at the top of the cliff.
"Don't forget that my job is 'scholar'." Remi raised her chin and said confidently: "After leaving the story, I am no longer controlled by the evil god, but my job is retained. It was originally the evil god's breath that favored me and told me
My way of knowledge has become the breath of the other world that cares for me and tells me knowledge."
Jimmy only understood half of the sentence: "I am no longer controlled by evil gods after leaving the story" because he was the same way, so he looked at Lu Li for help, hoping that he could explain it.
"It's like fish that evolved limbs and became animals after leaving sea water. They didn't become unable to breathe because they left sea water, but they learned a new way of breathing."
But than the explanation itself, everyone in front of the fire was more interested in Lu Li's metaphor.
"A fish that turns into an animal!?"
"Are animals actually transformed from fish?"
Jimmy and his sister asked at the same time. Anna, who had just picked up the grilled fish and wanted to hand it to Lu Li, also stopped and waited for Lu Li to continue.
"...Maybe." Lu Li said ambiguously.
Is there no theory like evolution, or are they just ignorant?
The sky gradually darkened, leaving only silhouettes in the distance, and the sound of rustling wind sounded over the elm forest.
Perhaps because of the wind brought by the approaching storm, the strange fog did not appear on the dark sea until now.
"We are tired, it's time to go rest." Remi felt that Anna seemed to have something to say to Lu Li, so she grabbed Jimmy who was unwilling to leave and returned to the cabin.
After the brother and sister left, the warm fire quickly became silent.
"I remember a dance." Anna's eyes reflected the fire, as if flickering. "Want to see it?"
"Um."
Lu Li looked at Anna who stood up.
The whining sea breeze blew up to the top of the cliff, and Anna's hair and dress swayed in the wind.
The dance was clear in the shadows, and the flames blown by the wind surrounded the figure and illuminated the sleepless camp.
