Catalina felt that she needed to have a good talk with Lu Li.
"You have to get used to life here."
After leaving the bustling entrance, Catalina whispered to Lu Li: "Life is not worth a penny here. As you can see, that guy sells it by the pound."
"Countless people die every day, and you can't be kind. He won't even be grateful to us. He will feel that this is what we should do, because I caught him, and I owe him."
"Have you heard of a story?" Lu Li said calmly. "The stranded fish."
Catalina and Pusius listened quietly to Lu Li's story. When Lu Li finished speaking, the little boy threw the fish back into the sea one by one, and she retorted: "What if the storm has already arrived?"
A storm rages and the beach turns into an isolated island. The little boy who is trapped on the island and may be blown away by the storm at any time helps the stranded fish.
"When everything around you becomes bad, you shouldn't adapt." Lu Li recalled the scene where Tesla calmly explained this sentence.
He drank the last sip of coffee, put on his hat, picked up his cane and left the cafe.
"But change."
The silent Catalina is full of contradictions and entanglements. While she yearns for this kind of thing that has long since disappeared in the weird era, she also laughs at its naivety.
Only Pusius, who yearned for the ground, expressed his sincere admiration: "Master Lu Li, you are such a good man."
"It's the bad guy! The bad guy!"
The eldest sister lying on her shoulder yelled loudly.
Despite Catalina's criticism of Lu Li's kindness, it still brings some obvious benefits.
The old sewer information that should have been purchased with shillings was given away for free by Pusius, who admired Lu Li.
The old sewers extend in all directions, and side roads can be seen everywhere like rat holes.
There are usually three types here: the dome-shaped structure is the main line of the old sewer; the irregularly shaped but extremely wide branch line; and the hidden line that has been expanded wantonly because the old sewer is an unclaimed land.
The main line is the safest, but it only exists around Midnight City and some sites. The branch lines are the most extensive, with veins all over the dark wilderness, from the surface to the deep, and the surface is relatively safe. Dark lines are everywhere, some are connected to the main line and branch lines, and some are dead ends.
It is used as a nest to live in and control. If you accidentally enter it, the outcome will usually not be good.
In addition to these three lines, there is also a "fake sewer".
The fake sewer may be a monster, or it may be a group of monsters. It will disguise a main line or branch line, usually a branch line, and then eat the existence that enters.
The intricate and three-dimensional structure of the old sewer areas is extremely difficult to distinguish. Only those who have lived in one area for a long time will not get lost underground.
"That's the hidden line that is regarded as a nest." Pusius followed Lu Li's legs on all fours, his face looking to the left.
A cave inlaid with fluorite is opened on the main line, winding its way into the depths. A wooden sign is erected next to the cave entrance: All wishes come true in the cave.
A figure with two lower bodies spliced together passed by the wooden sign. The wooden sign with the crooked words "Wishful thinking has become a hole" fell down, revealing another wooden sign that was blocked.
Dangerous and strange lair, enter with caution!
"Shall we take the main route directly to Midnight City?" Katarina asked.
"There's no way. The main line at Ghost Town Station is very small, and we have to take a long branch line to get to Midnight City Terminal."
"The branch line is not safe..." Catalina frowned and said.
"Actually, it's okay. The powerful weird families that control the branch lines generally don't like people making trouble on their territory." Pusius said. "Let's find Maimai first, and then take him with us to the Midnight City terminal."
Its expression suddenly became depressed.
"And tell it the news of Dede's death..."
"Maimai?" Katarina asked.
Pusius raised his face proudly: "My boy scout team member is a squirrel, the source of scout information. It should be gathering information in the tavern now."
good safe tavern
After walking a hundred meters along the main line, a sign made of luminous pink was hung in front of the door of a two-story shed on the roadside.
“This is it!”
Under the leadership of Pusius, Lu Li and Catalina entered this underground tavern that was suspected to be related to the Cape of Good Hope Tavern.
The aroma of wine and food floated in the tavern, as well as the stink of dead rats. It was only illuminated by fluorite lamps, which was darker than outside, but also more atmospheric.
You can see the figures passing outside the tavern through the gaps in the wooden planks of the shack. There are not many guests, and many of them are hunters wearing leather armor like Katarina.
But their leather armor was darker in color, covered with dark brown dried blood, and their gazes looking at Lu Li and others were full of scrutiny... and covetousness.
Pusius walked in front with his tail between his legs. The waiter behind the counter, wiping the stone wine glasses, leaned out of the counter and greeted Pusius mockingly: "Our little human is here!"
The guests laughed loudly.
"I'm looking for Mai Mai."
Pusius, who was much more reserved, walked under the counter, raised his face and said.
"Of course, but you know what to do."
"Yes I know."
Pusius left the counter, asked Lu Li and Catalina to wait for him, walked to the nearest wine table, jumped on the wooden chair, and then jumped from the wooden chair to the wine table.
The guests picked up the wine glasses in cooperation, giving Pusius a stage to show off.
Pusius raised his forelimbs and stood on the wine table with only his two hind legs. The young boy sang a clear song: "When we see flowers, we sing loudly; when we see lovers, we whisper softly; when we see flowers, we sing softly.
When we see our enemies, we roar loudly;"
It's trying to imitate the dance of a stage actor, and because of the hyena's body, it's like a comical performance.
But his ethereal singing voice belies this.
"When danger comes from afar, don't let the flower crown on your lover's head fall into blood. Raise your sword to protect our home."
When the singing ended, the tavern became agitated with slapping the table, stamping feet, and shouting.
Pusius saluted the "audience" in a humane manner, jumped off the wine table, and returned to the counter.
"The singing was better than last time." The waiter put down the stone wine glass and said, "It's upstairs."
"I'm going to call Mai Mai right now." Pusius and Lu Li said, climbing up the wooden stairs one by one and disappearing on the second floor.
"What do you want?" The waiter turned to Lu Li and Catalina. It only had half a nose and a mouth, but it seemed to be observing them.
"No need." Katerina replied coldly.
The waiter said nothing and turned to leave.
The tavern gradually regained its bustle. While waiting for Pusius to return, Lu Li asked, "What is a Spell Hunter?"
"A kind of living being that is no different from the dead..." Katarina whispered. "Poisonous insects are accompanied by curses. I only know that they are very dangerous and possess terrible curses."
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from upstairs.
That was Psius's voice.
"Something happened."
Catalina pressed her eyes with her palms: "It's best for us to leave."
The words stopped suddenly, and Lu Li, who heard the screams, had already stepped onto the stairs.
