The sound of the ship's whistle echoed in the distance, and the voices floating from the street made Lu Li, who was still awake, feel like he was back to the beginning.
"Well..."
Celica Dallaire, who was tied to a wooden chair, struggled, and the wooden chair creaked and shook under her body.
The sleepiness suddenly disappeared. Lu Li touched under his pillow and found that the psychic gun was still there.
Anna was not in the guest room. Lu Li grabbed the holster and stood up to take out the towel from Celica Dallaire's mouth.
Psychic guns are equally lethal to humans.
"Anna did it!"
Celica Dallaire said hurriedly before Lu Li asked.
"Anna put you to sleep and tied me up. She said she couldn't let you take the risk and left."
"How long have I slept?"
Lu Li untied the rope and walked to the window to look into the distance. The fishing boats leaving the port were scattered on the lead-colored sea and returning one after another.
"I don't know...but it's been a long time." Celica Dallaire moved her arm, which was bleeding due to strangulation. "She has a letter for you."
A piece of paper was placed on the bedside table, and a quill was pressed on it.
Lu Li took out the note and scanned Anna's message.
Just as Lu Li guessed, Anna didn't want him to leave the Allen Peninsula and venture to the Main Continent or even the deserted land, so she chose to go alone to find Aunt Mary.
Anna asked Lu Li to stay in Himfast, and she would come back soon with Aunt Mary.
It's Anna's note.
"Tell me what Anna said at that time." Lu Li said to Celica Dallaire.
"She didn't say much to me... She just tied me up after you fell asleep, asked me to tell you not to go to her, wrote that letter and left..."
Lu Li paused for a moment and gave some shillings to Celica Dallaire: "Go back to Himfast and wait for us."
"Are you going to find Anna...?"
Celica Dallaire asked hesitantly.
"Um."

Lu Li lifted up his coat, hung the gun holster back on his waist, took the evil radio and went to the hotel counter to check out.
Celica Dallaire did not leave, still following him.
Seagulls were circling in the sky as Lu Li walked out of the hotel and headed to the ticket office.
"A first-class ticket to Port Prince de Vanters."
"No, please give us two."
Celica Dallaire's voice came from behind.
"You don't have to keep following me." Lu Li turned around and said to her.
"If Anna knows that she will not let me go...and I have said many times that I want to help you." Celica Dallaire said firmly.
Lu Li was silent for a moment, then the employee at the ticket window couldn't help but ask: "How many ferry tickets do you want?"
"Two."
Celica Dallaire said for Lu Li.
Lu Li acquiesced in following Celica Dallaire and took out two first-class tickets.
The real time on the clock next to the ticket office was 4:10. They were not too lucky, as the last cruise ship of the day would leave the port in twenty minutes.
As first-class passengers, Lu Li and Celica Dallaire enjoyed the treatment of being picked up and dropped off by the crew. Although the treatment was rough because Port of Hope was not a commercial port.
The captured crew members were taken to a port where the smell of fish was even stronger. The fishing boats parked in the port were unloading their cargo, and mountains of sea fish poured out from the fishing nets.
Lu Li passed by from a distance and saw many deformed limbs and twisted tentacles among the piled fish that should not be in the pile.
No wonder they are ground into fish paste and shipped to Himfast for sale.
Even if these fish have no side effects, eating them requires a lot of bravery and the cost of losing some sanity.
After boarding the cruise ship, the crew did not leave but explained to Lu Li and others the following precautions.
This cruise ship is expected to arrive at Prince Fanters Port in the southeast of the Main Continent late at night.
This route is relatively safe. Among the nearly 100 round trips in at least half a month, 92% of the cruise ships arrived at the port safely.
"Don't worry, the chance of an accident happening to first class passengers is only 98%. As long as you two don't leave your suite to walk on the deck after dark, you will be fine. Now you two can enjoy the scenery on the deck.
.”
The busy port and the circling seagulls make the port look much more lively.
Lu Li stood on the deck and looked at the vast, gray sea in the distance, the breeze blowing his black hair.
The swarm of seagulls circling in the port strangely separated into a dozen or so and came to hover above the deck.
Passengers pointed to the sky, with some children exclaiming.
"Maybe Anna is right, you shouldn't risk finding her..."
Celica Dallaire's voice sounded from behind.
Perhaps because Lu Li didn't have any hesitation in his decision, she seemed to want to... persuade Lu Li to reconsider.
"Anna is a wraith, so weirdness won't bother her... What if she comes back soon but doesn't find you?"
"When we get to Prince's Port, I'll ask the merchant to send a message to Wanghai Cliff." Lu Li said. "Is your leg healed?"
Celica Dallaire no longer had a limp when they arrived.
Celica Dallaire's expression became a little unnatural, but luckily Lu Li didn't look back at her.
"It doesn't hurt so much anymore," she said.
A woman holding a three- or four-year-old boy walked up to her. She nodded and smiled at Lu Li, who was looking at him. She gently rocked the child in her arms and hummed softly.
The sleepy little boy, with joy on his face, drifted off to sleep in the sweet lullaby.
At 4:30 on the hour, the medium-sized cruise ship Raistlin left the port carrying hundreds of passengers and crew members and sailed towards the Main Continent.
The excited people on the deck left the deck one after another and returned to their cabins, including the woman holding her sleeping child.
There was no chance to disembark. Celica Dallaire seemed to sigh silently, her expression becoming more determined.
The first-class cabin is on the upper deck of the Raistlin. The spacious suite makes it difficult to associate with the cramped cabin.
Even if you don't look at the sea outside the porthole window and ignore the shaking of your feet, this place is like a bedroom in a noble mansion.
When Hope Harbor disappeared into the vast sea, the sky began to darken and night was coming.
Dinner is being prepared in the first-class restaurant of the first-class cabin. Rich people gather in the restaurant, treating it as a social party. The music is soothing and flowing, as if the dark and desperate outside world has nothing to do with the bright, warm restaurant where the guests are elegant.
The crew who took them on board was hiding something.
Lu Li discovered this when he returned to the deck and found some of the crew members looking gloomy.
They were generally worried and uneasy about this voyage, and even a sailor who was wiping the deck accidentally hit a bucket without noticing.
Lu Li used shillings to clear the way and got some secret information from them.
The data the crew member said was true, but there were some things he didn't say.
For example, 92% of the cruise ships that passed successfully were all day cruises.
The 8% of cruise ships that were involved in accidents were all night cruises.
Obviously, the last ship to sail today, the Raistlin, was the night voyage.
