Lu Li thought after Anna returned to the top of the cliff with the deep sea stone fragments.
They can't be freeing prisoners from ghost jails just for good reasons - and there has been no noticeable increase in ghosts in Belfast.
After they succeeded, they disappeared and seemed to be weaving an unknown conspiracy. But it was not all bad. There were a lot of deep sea stones in the ghost prison. Even if only a small part was taken away, it would be enough to complete the expansion of the refuge.
But not yet.
The pagans have just left, and the ghost prison may still be under their observation. Frequent approach may attract their attention.
For now, Anna will focus her exploration on the surrounding neighborhoods of Elm Forest.
Several blocks, including Elm Street, are occupied by weirdos, but because it is far away from the city and close to the suburbs, there are very few weirdos here. They usually do not wander the streets during the day, but hide in the gaps between ruins or in dark alley houses.
.
"I plan to clean up some," Anna said to Lu Li after exploring, "leaving only those weird things that can be used as food."
"I'm with you." Lu Li put down his book.
Lu Li has been living on the top of the cliff for almost two weeks. He doesn't hate this boring and repetitive daily life, although it is very different from his original idea.
"No, I'll just come." Anna didn't want Lu Li to follow, as that would distract her.
"Pay attention to safety." Lu Li did not refuse Anna's proposal and looked at her quietly. "Don't forget our agreement."
There was a moment of panic in her gradually cooling heart, and Anna looked into those abyss-black eyes: "Of course not."
Carrying "salvation" and silver-plated bullets, Anna said goodbye to Remi Adamfoya who greeted them, and thought about leaving the top of the cliff.
Anna was still uneasy until she got close to the first monster she picked.
Lu Li rarely said useless words. Every word of this direct man had its own purpose and meaning——
What did he guess?
Anna paid no attention to the invisible weirdness that trembled in the water glass, shackling the space around it, and simply threw the salvation over like a bunch of keys.
Salvation fell into the water glass, causing liquid-like ripples in the empty glass, then evaporating smoke, and finally everything came to an abrupt end with a shrill scream.
Anna came back to her senses and thought that Lu Li had gained a small amount of humanity, and suddenly remembered something that had been forgotten for a long time: the existence of death at redemption would allow Lu Li to see the retrospect of death.
However, because they were too far away and Lu Li had never been in contact with them, Lu Li could not see the death flashbacks when Anna was hunting with the psychic gun. The special nature of Prada Paradise also prevented Lu Li from seeing the weird death flashbacks of the kills.
But Sarah Adam's death is not included.
They were dealt with by Lu Li himself, and they have a deep connection with each other.
What did Lu Li see at that time?
…
[The blood-like roses bloomed under her body, and her white face made her more beautiful than the roses. Oh poor girl, she was abandoned by her relatives, betrayed by her loved ones, and cast aside by people, but her death shocked everyone. This
It was the most shining moment in her life...]
【...and key points】

puff--
Lu Li closed the book, and the air escaped from the book before the pages closed.
This book "Shaya Romance" was Anna's favorite type, but Lu Li, who had picked up the wrong book, read it anyway.
There seemed to be hundreds of books in the collection at the top of the cliff, but the paper restrictions of this era made the pages thicker and the text larger. A standard two-finger-thick book actually only had more than 200,000 words, or even less.
At Lu Li's rate of one to two books a day, the collection of books on the top of the cliff wouldn't last two months.
Returning to the book itself, it tells the story of a noble girl falling in love with a commoner boy. It is bloody, cliche, repetitive, and all the plot criticisms that can be found in similar love novels can be found in it. The only difference is that the tragic ending makes
The original plot full of clichés has been sublimated: the boy gradually gave up after a long period of time and setbacks. Only the girl persisted, but in the end she was betrayed by her lover.
This book also reminded Lu Li of Sarah and Adam.
Adam's death in reality is consistent with the story of Shadow on the Thread. He fell from Sarah's balcony and died in a blooming flowerbed.
In the death flashback, Lu Li, who was standing in front of the flower garden, was unable to save Adam who fell from the balcony while holding on to the broken sheets.
He didn't die immediately. He turned to look at Lu Li, and while vomiting blood, he warned with difficulty: "Hold on to your feelings, don't be erased by time."
What follows is a retrospective of Sarah's death: the pale but beautiful Sarah was tied with rough hemp ropes and stood on the gallows wearing dirty linen clothes. Below were people who were angry and cursing and throwing stones.
The guards left the gallows early to avoid being accidentally injured by angry citizens.
Sarah ignored the surging crowd under the gallows and raised her head slightly as if she wanted to show her arrogance. A sharp stone hit the corner of her eye and cut her eyebrow. Her right eye was bloodshot and red, and blood flowed along the tear trail.
Lu Li stood in the crowd and watched quietly without trying to stop him.
This is the punishment she deserves.
A noose was tied around Sarah's neck. Amidst the noise and shouting of the people, the floor suddenly cracked under her feet, and the straight noose fell down onto her suspended body, shaking slightly.
Her cheeks quickly turned red due to congestion, but Sara strangely did not show any pain, and the corners of her mouth were pulled up more like a smile.
She found Lu Li, who was looking calmly in the crowd, and the blood on his lips made his grin become ferocious.
The voices of the people gradually faded away and became irrelevant to Lu Li. Only Sarah's intermittent sneers were left in his ears.
"I wonder...when your...loved one encounters...the same fate, will you...still...be indifferent..."
Lu Li thought that the bad luck Sarah mentioned was caused by her memory, but now it seems that she meant something else.
The abyss is the return journey for all ghosts. Even though the journey may be extremely long, it will eventually end.
Lu Li reopened "The Romance of Shaya" and wrote a message from the author Moritz Johnston on the title page.
Time will erase everything, including the love you once had.
This sentence will make people subconsciously think that Moritz Johnston is a man full of stories. Even... maybe the stories in the book are his own experiences.
However, the hustle and bustle of the past has faded away, and now there is nowhere to go if you want to ask for a certificate. A businessman who trades in everything may know, but Lu Li will not waste investigation points just for this.
Lu Li chose to believe Anna. But what if Anna really lost her nature and fell into the abyss?
He touched his waist with his slender fingers, and then he remembered that his salvation had been taken away by Anna.
…
Weird people are all kinds of weird.
The invisible weirdness that was eliminated by Anna and hiding in the water glass was just one of them.
Anna didn't even know what its abilities were and she easily killed it, just like it killed humans, easily and quickly.
