The really scary thing is not the night, at least it can be avoided by other methods. But when the fog fills the air, the surviving people can only resign themselves to their fate.
"If the fog appears during the day, will they appear?" Lu Li asked again.
The terrifying and gloomy black silhouettes around them seemed to be forgotten by the two of them. Hades had no fear either because he had seen them many times, or because he knew they could not hurt him. As for Lu Li... it was difficult to see any emotion other than calmness in him.
Even in the face of death and crushing fear.
"I don't know, this kind of thing has never happened." Hades shook his head and said with some prayer. "It's best not to expect fog to appear during the day. In any case, it is not a pleasant thing."
That represents new variables, and it is obvious that this world is too fragile and broken to tolerate a few variables.
"How did they appear?"
For the sake of 1,000 shillings, Hades was ready to answer every question he knew: "Who are they talking about? The fog? Or the things out there."
"Both."
"The fog comes from the deep sea. As for the things outside, no one knows. They may have been here a long time ago, but we just discovered them."
It has been a while since Lu Li came to this world, and it seems that all the strange things are pointing to the depths of the sea.
"Is the deep sea the source?"
Lu Li turned his head and looked toward the east beach, but his sight was blocked by the walls of the dim and cramped hall.
"Absolutely. Everyone is saying that the navigators running around in the water caused the disaster. Some people say that they touched the seal of the abandoned temple and unsealed the evil god. Some people say that the world is the back garden of the gods, and he condones human beings.
They survived, but humans' unscrupulous and ungrateful exploration and plundering angered the gods and punished them. Some people say that the new land farmland discovered by Solasylvia Him was the place left by the old gods. His arrival made the gods angry.
The old gods have found a way back - it's all bullshit in my opinion."
Hades showed disdain for this kind of remarks, just like an old stubborn who firmly believes that there are no ghosts in the world dismisses ghosts: "Except for some unlucky ones who encountered shipwrecks or ran aground on rocks, most navigators returned safely. Evil God
If the gods didn't deal with these little guys at the time, what would it be like to cause trouble later? They just got some free time?"
Lu Li remained silent. He didn't know much about it and didn't comment on it.
However, Lu Li noticed that Hades, who had always been greedy for money, had no idea of saving when the expensive candle continued to burn out.
It burned very quickly, and more than half of it was consumed in less than five minutes. Perhaps a candle was not enough to burn for 10 minutes.
"I thought you would blow out the candles in distress within a few seconds of seeing me."
"It can only burn out and cannot be extinguished." Hades said with some regret. "If it is extinguished, it will burn up in the other world, and then..."
Hades did not say any more, but Lu Li understood what he wanted to say.
At that time, the characteristics of the Delusion Candle will appear in the other world, and at that time, the black silhouette that can be observed by human beings will become the black silhouette that can be observed by humans.
Lu Li asked: "What if it goes out accidentally?"
"Then pray that you run far enough before they react." Hades grinned, showing his gold teeth.
But the moment the words fell, something unexpected happened.
It wasn't that the flames of the candle suddenly went out, but that the human silhouette sitting in the corner of the bar that Lu Li had observed earlier turned his head and seemed to be facing Lu Li.
Lu Li and Hades noticed the changes next to them at the same time. Hades waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't be nervous, it can't see us."
Just as he finished speaking, the black silhouette suddenly stood up and left his seat.
The irregular circular outline caught in its hand was thrown casually to the feet, and the black silhouette took steps... towards Lu Li.
"Don't worry, it can't touch us." Hades added.
The black silhouette walked to Lu Li's stool, his head hanging down, and he seemed to be looking at Lu Li from a layer of space apart.
Lu Li calmly raised his head and stared. After a few seconds, the black silhouette suddenly made new movements.
It raised its arm and grabbed Lu Li's neck.
Hades continued to say: "Don't be afraid, it can't hurt us."
Lu Li could not wait until the black silhouette touched him to judge whether it would hurt him. At the same time as it stretched out his arm, Lu Li reached behind his waist and pulled out his psychic gun.
The moment the psychic gun was released from its holster, Lu Li felt unspeakable malice emanating from the black silhouetted body in the detective agency.
As if something was triggered, they stopped all actions at the same time, moved their bodies, and turned to where Lu Li was.
This scene was horrifying, but Lu Li didn't care. He held the psychic gun in his hand, held it tens of centimeters in front of the black silhouette's head, and pulled the trigger.
boom!
The roar of dragons exploded in the closed space of the detective agency, and dust fell from the cracks in the ceiling. The terrible noise made Hades grin in pain and block his ears.
The black silhouetted head exploded instantly, and the headless body stood in place with its hands stretched out, then suddenly shattered and disappeared without a trace.
After the black silhouette exploded, Lu Li quickly retracted his psychic gun and turned his attention to the surroundings.
The beings in the other world seemed to have shifted their attention after the breath of the psychic gun disappeared, and returned to the previous state.
"So I said don't be afraid, it's just an ordinary ghost." Hades put down his hands covering his ears and complained: "Maybe your gaze just now made it aware of you and projected itself to the surface world."
Before he could say much, he walked around from behind the bar and walked to the door with a weak gust of wind.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell——
Hades left the detective agency and seemed to go find a neighbor to explain the gunshots.
The wind and rain that poured into the hall gradually dissipated, and the flames of the broken candle became stable again.
Lu Li picked up the bullet casing that fell on the ground, loaded the psychic gun in the holster with new silver-plated bullets, and then quietly observed the gun body.
The first rose on the gun has fully bloomed, and its elegant petals spread over a small piece of the gun body.
Lu Li didn't know what it meant when the first rose bloomed, but it couldn't just be a record.
Jingle bell, jingle bell——
The door was pushed open, and Hades came back after explaining his explanation, returning behind the bar with some wetness on his body.
"That black silhouette seems very weak." Lu Li said.
"Isn't this normal? The ghosts we usually encounter are in the other world." "Don't they attack each other?"
"Maybe, maybe not. The Burning Candle is very precious, and no one will use it to observe the other world."
Hades sat down to answer, trembling a little.
"So what else do you want to ask?"
Lu Li nodded and was about to speak, but a voice sounded in the detective agency before him.
"Where are you?"
A stiff, cold, woman-like voice emerged from the void.
