[Himfast has changed a lot, and the home has been occupied by other people. Everything has changed. I want to stay, but it is urging me... It’s time for me to leave and go to the deserted land to accept my fate]
[Lu Li, Anna, if you see this letter, please don’t come to me]
It shouldn't be like this.
Celica Dallaire stirred up huge waves in her heart.
This is different from what was promised...
In the adventure story prepared for Lu Li, Lu Li found the last letter. The time written on it made Lu Li understand that Aunt Mary's four letters happened before she left the Allen Peninsula by boat, not after the disaster struck. The final ending is
After a false alarm, Lu Li and Anna returned to their safe house and continued to live peacefully in the increasingly bad apocalypse.
Now, the adventure story has been rewritten. Instead of ending with a full stop, Mary Poppins has fallen into a weird conspiracy.
The story continues...
"Who is it..." Anna frowned, and the cold breath that escaped blew the cloak.
"Maybe it was the existence that made Aunt Mary leave the ship." Lu Li read the fourth letter again, stuffed the envelope back and put it in his pocket.
"She has..." Anna whispered.
"I don't know. We don't know the date of these letters."
However, it may be possible to roughly infer that Watchtown and Startown were obviously raided, and there is no reason why the two conspicuous letters placed on the windowsill would be ignored by the survivors.
Mary Poppins may not be gone for long.
"Is there anyone in the house all the time?" Lu Li asked the old couple outside the door and the mother and daughter standing further away.
The mother, daughter, and the old couple spent most of their time in the house. After Lu Li asked if they had heard any strange noises in the past few days, the old couple recalled hearing footsteps walking upstairs late last night.
Their bedroom was under the study. At that time, they thought it was two other residents entering the study and ignored it.
Maybe Mary Poppins came back secretly and left behind a fourth letter.
After searching around the study again and finding no other clues, Lu Li carried Celica Dallaire on his back and left the house.
“Why did Mary Poppins go to the middle of nowhere…
"In the bustling street, Anna's murmur to herself came from under the black robe.
"The Avitannis will pass through a deserted land." Lu Li answered.
Most ships heading to the Lennon Islands will pass there, and some small ships will also call at the port to replenish resources.
Perhaps Mary Poppins was haunted by strange things at the port in the middle of nowhere and left the ship.
I just don’t know that Jojo stayed on the boat and arrived at the Lennon Islands like Aunt Mary, and why Aunt Mary, who was entangled in weirdness, could return to the Allen Peninsula.
Mary Poppins' letters represent her awareness of the strangeness that haunts her.
Is it because of some kind of deal with Weirdness?
"Where are we going next?" Anna said.
"Nearest port."
If Aunt Mary had been here last night, maybe we could catch up.
But before that, we need to settle down with Celica Dallaire.
There is still room in Aunt Marie's house, so she can directly ask the administrator of the Champs Elysees neighborhood to arrange her residence.
Lu Li asked the governor about the nearest port to Himfast that could go to sea. He left Celica Dallaire behind and headed to Himfast's southern gate.
"Miss, may I ask your name?" The administrator was about to register Celica Dallaire.
"No..."
Celica Dallaire watched Lu Li disappear at the end of the street. The governor was stunned, turned around and walked in the opposite direction of Lu Li.
slum.
Celica Dallaire walked up to a woman standing on the street, scantily clad and smelling of bad perfume, and told her that she could take her to the Lennon Islands.
No one can resist the lure of Lennon Islands.
"Why should I believe you?" the woman asked warily.
"You don't have to believe me, but you'd better believe them." Celica Dallaire said, taking out a stack of shillings from her arms.
…
Anna felt that Mary Poppins might have left clues elsewhere, such as the manor. But there was nothing there except a simple long house built there.
When they arrived at the south city gate, they met Celica Dallaire, who had been waiting for a long time.
"You saved me, and I want to help you too." Celica Dallaire limped towards Lu Li and Anna. "It's just a sprained foot. I can walk on my own."
"Don't be brave." Lu Li said, no longer rejecting Celica Dallaire's insistence.
The closest port to Himfast with access to the sea is Hopehamn: a newly established bay port in the south.
However, Port of Hope currently only has routes with Prince Fanters Port on the Main Continent. If you want to go to the deserted land, you have to transfer at Prince Fanters Port.
Take Celica Dallaire away from Himfast, walk two or three miles away, and fly to Port of Hope fifty miles away when no one sees her.
…
Hope Harbor.
Its name carries people's expectations.
In addition to the lingering fishy smell at the port, there is also a strong smell of tung oil.
Because everything is new here.
Lu Li and Anna found the port manager and received exciting news: a Ms. Mary had indeed left the port by boat, just about half an hour ago.
They have a chance to catch up with Mary Poppins.
The person in charge told them that the next ship leaving the port would be in an hour and a half.
After going to the ticket office and purchasing three ferry tickets, Lu Li and the others temporarily stayed at a newly opened hotel outside the port.
Lu Li ate some food, but felt a little sleepy for no reason after eating. He asked Anna to pay attention to the hotel owner, wake him up before boarding the ship, and then fell asleep on the single bed.
The sleeping Lu Li's breathing became steady.

At a certain moment, a shadow quietly left Celica Dallaire's feet.
After regaining control, Celica Dallaire first looked at the sleeping Lu Li, with a sad look in her eyes.
"That doctor is dead, right..."
"He just fell asleep." The voice under the black robe sounded cold.
"Am I the second one?"
Didn't get an answer.
Celica Dallaire may have guessed something, and she wanted to change these: "I can see that you love him... but you took the risk to take the man you love out of safety, and you also put him in greater danger
…Is it worth it?”
Anna shook her head silently.
"He shouldn't stay in Wanghai Cliff..."
"..." Celica Dallaire felt scared because Anna told them their location.
Anna continued: "He should be like a hero, walking on a hopeless land, saving strangers, helping all those in need, and treating all existences equally, even if they are weird... instead of hiding behind the scenes.
A safe house, waiting for the end that will come when I don’t know when.”
"Mr. Lu Li is just an ordinary——"
"He should be a hero."
Anna interrupted Celica Dallaire, her ruby eyes as hot as flames: "And I will help him become a hero."
