Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 628 205. "Anna"

  Shimfast has natural drawbacks.

  The colonization of the Allen Peninsula originated after the war. Because of the strange appearance, the Demon Slayer Association mediated the war, and MacDonald I abandoned the city wall, claiming that it was for openness and commerce.

   Although most people know the reason is that building a city wall is expensive.

Successors after    implemented this philosophy, thus creating the prosperity of Belfast.

  【Simfast is ready to deal with the invasion of the strange fog! 】

   On the sixth day of returning to the Elm Forest, the news picture was the “preparation” that stretched around Shymfast and surrounded it with countless wooden stakes.

   Cutting down a whole tree from a forest more than ten miles away, cutting off the branches and hitting the ground, this is the fastest way to build a city wall.

   It doesn't need to be strong, after all, the city walls will not deal with catapults and soldiers.

   When night falls, braziers burning on wooden walls will block the eerie fog that permeates.

  Jimmy took the newspaper that Lu Li had read and went to find Remy who was guarding the farmland. The loose soil is darker than the surrounding, and Remy had only been watered not long ago.

  Wash-

  The branches above his head swayed gently, and the young leaves quietly burrowed out of the dark brown branches, as if welcoming him.

   An illusory white palm held the book and handed it to Lu Li. After Lu Li took it, Anna sat beside her with her skirt pressed down, her hands on her knees ladylike.

   "You have read too many memories recently." Lu Li's eyes stayed on Anna for a moment, then returned to the opened book. "She has affected you."

   Memories can affect a person more than books, plays and stories.

   It's like the little boy who hears the hero's story for the first time will have a long fantasy and meet each other. Even being overwhelmed by the story, imagine yourself as the hero.

   "They always appear involuntarily when doing something." Anna was silent. Sara's memories came up like flashbacks, even more often.

   When preparing food for Lu Li, the memory of Sarah preparing the same food for Adam will emerge. When Lu Li was asleep, she would unconsciously recall that Sarah looked at her lover in the mirror every night after Adam fell asleep. Even hunting thinks of the power that comes from the dead in Sarah's game of death.

   Even when nothing is done, Sara's memory comes to mind.

   This is unavoidable, just as humans cannot stop breathing and thinking.

   "Don't lose yourself." Lu Li could only say that.

  Lu Li didn't know what trouble Anna suffered, but it was definitely beyond his imagination.

   "Don't worry, no matter what... I won't hurt you." Anna showed a gentle and beautiful smile.

   In the middle of the night, Lu Li rarely had a dream that was mirrored by reality.

After the   Allen King City incident, Lu Li agreed with Anna's suggestion to give up the solution to Sarah and Adam, and returned to Tower Wind City with York and the others, and stayed there for a day.

   During the time they went to the church, the radio on the podium turned into an evil spirit broadcast. There was also a shadowy figure in the confession room. When Lu Li walked by, a piece of parchment floated out of the gap.

  【Do not agree to Adam's request】It says.

  嘭——

   Lu Li was awakened by his beating heart, and a faint crackling sound came from the fireplace. Anna in front of the desk tilted her head, and half of her face illuminated by the oil lamp showed tenderness: "Have you had a nightmare?"

   Lu Li may regret it, but who knows.

   Re-entering dreamland, perhaps because the interval is very short, the dreams are continuous together.

   This time it was the other way around.

   Leaving the church, Anna whispered the pain of being deprived of all senses after losing her body, losing her beating heart, and her heart became cold again.

  Anna wants blood to flow in her body again.

   The hustle and bustle downstairs of the hotel almost awakened Lu Li, who had fallen asleep due to sleepiness. A group of thugs broke into the hotel to ask for trouble, and Anna coldly drove them out of the hotel.

   One of the gangsters stumbled to the ground in fright, and Anna's twisted shadow caught up to him and stepped into his shadow.

  Messy memories flooded into Anna's mind, and the huge memory also came with the beating heart and the blood flowing in the body.

   In a restaurant in Tower Windy City, the surrounding diners and waiters watched in astonishment as a young man madly stuffed food into his mouth, his stomach was already full and propped up like a pregnant woman.

   Before the worried boss approached, the young man fell headlong on the dining table, and the shadow quietly left.

  Anna doesn't like this body...

   The chaotic memory made her a little different than usual. Anna's projection wandered around the street, and soon stepped into the shadow of a delicate-looking girl again.

   "It doesn't work either..."

  Anna murmured, a girl's memory is more complicated than she imagined.

  Ana's projection just wandered around the Tower Wind City, looking for a suitable body. When Lu Li woke up from the dream, Anna was no longer the same as before.

The    mottled memory dissipated her consciousness, although Anna was still Anna and did not become a collective consciousness.

   But her way of thinking and behavior are all mixed up by those memories.

   A stranger named Anna.

   If you stare at the abyss for too long, the abyss will also stare.

  …

   Early the next morning, a new Investigator Weekly appeared alongside a piece of good news.

   "We succeeded." Remy clenched her fists beside the farmland.

   Amidst the dark brown soft soil, dazzling green shoots burrowed out of the soil.

  Whether it is a weed awakened from a slumber or a sprout of a jicama, this is the first plant to grow in the cultivated field.

  Although Anne had grown fingernail-sized leaves two days ago, the unnamed plant in the flowerpot was as tall as a finger.

  Remi finally resisted the urge to dig out and check. When the businessman left, she turned her attention to asking Lu Li what was written in the Investigator Weekly.

   "The progress of the new scourge of the Badlands."

The    exorcists have arrived at the source of the calamity, leaving only dead bushes and oasis of rotting villages.

The    weekly report said that the progress was going well. In order to prevent devastating disasters like the plant disaster and the night disaster from happening again, every member of the team was extremely careful and serious, and maybe there will be good news in the future.

  In the afternoon, Anna, who returned from hunting, found an interesting thing: a fishing cage.

   So in the early morning of the next day, after the strange fog receded, the residents of Elm Forest, except for Amber and the children, temporarily left the top of the cliff and went to the reef area under the cliff with Anna.

  The sound of the waves is clearer and louder than that on the top of the cliff, and the black waves are raging against the reefs, and there are white sprays.

  The waves under the cliff are too big. Instead of worrying about whether you can catch fish, you should worry more about whether the fishing cage surrounded by barbed wire will be scattered by the waves.

   In shallow water near the edge of the reef area, Anna hangs her bait, tethers it to the reef, and lowers her cage.

   I won't be able to check the harvest until the afternoon or tomorrow, and probably won't catch anything—

   However, they enjoy the sense of ritual brought by the event itself more than the harvest itself.

  Remi and Jimmy stood on the reef with their calves submerged and felt the sea breeze. Lu Li raised his black eyes and looked at the ruins of Belfast that stretched behind him, and at the unmanned lighthouse standing on the edge of the reef.

   The light on it has been dim for a long time.
