The sound of waves coming up to the cliff is non-stop day and night, and withered trees take root tenaciously on the top of the cliff.
She is like a thin and strong girl.
The girl's shadow, which is more solid than the darkness, is projected on the tree trunk, as if it is against its thin, dead body.
"Forgive me..."
…
Fog obscures the ruins of Belfast.
The urban area is full of dangers, and they cannot land directly at the port or bay.
Through the mist that shrouded in the morning, before the beings occupying Belfast noticed the uninvited guests on the sea, the big ship Andrea sailed along the Sugard Mountain and circled to the northern side of the mountain.
It borders the elm forest, and Lu Li can return to his former home from a steep hillside that is much gentler than the cliff.
Wow
Foaming waves licked the brown beach, and a rusty giant ship was moored at the edge of the fog in the distance.
The wooden boat rowed from the big ship shook slightly and ran aground in the shoal.
Lu Li stepped off the wooden boat, followed by Pusius.
Catalina helped Evil Dead step onto the soft sand. His condition was not good. His face, whose facial features were difficult to distinguish, made people feel old and weak. It was drooping and seemed to fall off at any time.
Today is the seventh day since Evil Fall said he could live for another week.
"We should leave you on the ship."
Pusius felt sad about the upcoming attrition of partners: "Mr. Evil, you will die on the road."
"It will make the big ship dirty." You need to be careful to hear the response in a whisper, almost lost in the sound of the waves. "Don't worry about me...I will tell you when I am about to die. If you find it troublesome, just leave me..."
"It's just a weightless body." Katarina pursed her lips.
The evil fall is very light, probably only as heavy as three or four Pusius. Maybe the body has already started to change.
Lu Li raised his head and stared at the elm forest behind the beach. He had never been here before, and there was no trace of the familiar things around him.
But after setting foot on the path left decades ago and entering the elm forest, a looming pessimism lingered around their bodies.
"I feel a little uncomfortable..." Pusius, the most optimistic, noticed the mood of the forest. "There is a problem in the forest."
"The consciousness of the forest is filled with the sorrow of the dead and their hatred for life." Lu Li spoke softly.
They are still alive.
They have long since died.
Looking into the forest, I saw twisted and dead trees with no life. The emotion called despair and sadness surged in the forest and lingered for a long time.
Because they have never been here, the elms don't recognize him, or they have forgotten him after too long.
"Have you been here before?" Catalina noticed Lu Li's familiarity with this place.
"Wanghai Cliff is right here."
"What is that place?"
"My former home."
Pusius raised his face in surprise: "Mr. Lu Li, don't you live in Belfast?"
"Before the disaster struck, I built a shelter at Wanghai Cliff."
Although this place was once Lu Li's home and said there was no danger. However, the lingering negative emotions made Catalina and others feel depressed. The sadness that emerged due to their evil depravity was aroused and expanded. The emotional Pusius even
Sob out.
Walking along the forest path for a long distance, the road curves to the right and extends deep into the forest.
Lu Li stopped and stepped off the path onto the soft soil.
This path leads to the silent hills, where some kind of existence once lived before the strange era. Twenty-four years later, it is unknown whether it is still there.
This place used to be Lu Li's territory, and Catalina and others followed silently and did not express any opinions on the change of route.
They went deeper and deeper into the forest, seemingly close to the edge of the coast, otherwise where would the faint sound of waves come from.
As time goes by, the depressive despair and sadness that enveloped their hearts seem to change.
"They don't seem to hate us so much..."
Pusius whispered, as if disturbing the consciousness of the forest.
"The trees here know me."
Lu Li said.
This is good news, it shows that Elm Forest has not forgotten him.
The closer you get to Wanghai Cliff, the less negative emotions you feel in the forest consciousness, and gradually begin to be mixed with positive emotions.
The depressing atmosphere disappeared, and Catalina and the others even felt that the woods were cheering and surrounding them.
Or rather, surrounded by the figure walking in front.
"Mr. Lu Li, should we go to Wanghai Cliff now?" Pusius, who had recovered his mood, started talking more.
"Um."
That was one of the places Lu Li stayed in this world for the longest time, and he should always go back.
Brother and sister Remy and Jimmy may still be there, Ampere and the children may still be there...and Anna may have come back.
The consciousness of the forest changed from resistance to welcome, and the journey became no longer full of dangers. After a while, the outline of a hut appeared vaguely at the end of the woods.
Two adjacent wooden houses stand on the edge of the road leading to the top of the cliff.
"Is this your house?" Psius asked.
"no."
It is the cabin of brother and sister Remi and their children.
The two wooden houses, which had been in disrepair for a long time, were swollen and deformed, like bloated corpses.
The dilapidated cabin has not been repaired for a long time, maybe more than ten years, or even longer...
The door panel looked like a coffin lying beside the door frame. The children's cabin only had a collapsed wooden bed.
Remi's brother and sister's house is sturdier, and the wooden door is still embedded in the door frame. The moisture and swelling make it difficult to push open.
bang
The wooden door fell backwards with a muffled sound, and the moss-slippery door panel spattered mud and fell onto his trouser legs.
Lu Li stepped on the door panel and walked into the wooden house, leaving behind a line of dry footprints with water stains on the edges.
The hut of the Remi brothers and sisters can be vaguely seen as it once was, with broken quilts covering the wooden bed like dye, rusty oil lamps, and paper pulp covering the table and floor.
There was once a book, a letter, or a piece of paper left here, destroyed by moisture and rain.
What was torn to pieces might also be the envelope left for him by brother and sister Remi.
There were piles of firewood and tools in the woodshed, and dirt and rust were clinging to the tools.
Lu Li looked towards the top of the cliff. Their movement was loud enough, but it didn't attract any attention.
Wanghai Cliff is quiet in the early morning.
Catalina and others kept quiet and no one disturbed Lu Li.
Here are important memories of this man from a bygone era.
Lu Li stared at him like a statue for a long time, and they seemed to see a hesitant and sudden step from him that broke their thoughts.
They followed Lu Li up to Wanghai Cliff.
The sound of the waves never stops day and night.
The retreating mist revealed the vast sea and the ruins of what was once called Belfast in the distance.
On the Wanghai cliff where the cold sea breeze howled, a withered and thin elm tree stood alone.
It is like a thin girl.
Lu Li's calm black eyes were reflected as he stood under the tree. He raised his illusory white palm and placed it on his head. The elegant and delicate girl in the lace white dress,
"You won't grow taller anymore," said Lu Li, who was reading quietly.
"But Annie can." Anna turned around and curled her eyes.
She looks forward to the day when her sister grows up.
