Chapter 114 twenty nine. The illusion of peace

   Clothes shop.

  Clothes are neatly sorted, tops, pants, dresses, hats, ties can be seen here. The color is mainly dark, occasionally mixed with a few light-colored clothing and ties, and brightly colored clothing is not included.

  As a civilian clothing store, the clothes here are mainly practical, and the fabrics are more wear-resistant textiles and woolen fabrics. Of course, like most clothing stores, tailor-made is also accepted here.

   "Sir, do you need to order?"

   At this moment, beside Lu Li, a middle-aged clerk asked.

   "No, I just need to find something that fits."

   His eyes stopped briefly on his shirt and trousers, and then he skipped it. Lu Li walked to the corner of the coat shop, where the hangers were old and gray, and all kinds of dark trench coats that looked heavy and wide were lined up in a row.

   After a brief search, Lu Li picked up a black woolen coat.

  The clerk said politely by the side: "I'm sorry, this style of clothes is not suitable for you to wear, it can't highlight your excellence-"

   "I like it very much." Lu Li's voice interrupted the clerk.

Old, old-fashioned, and conservative, this woolen coat looks like the clothes worn by the grandfathers of today's young people, or those who go in and out of the murder scene at dark hours, smoking a pipe, wearing a top hat, and accompanied by assistants The thing that the detective will wear, wearing this kind of clothes will definitely be ridiculed by the companions——

   In Lu Li's eyes, he couldn't find any more suitable clothes for him.

   The windbreaker that I left on the time floor is similar to it, but it is thinner, and the weather is very cold now.

   There is no tag on the clothes. After confirming that it is necessary to wear it, Lu Li wears it on the body. The sleeve length is just right. When you straighten your arms, you will reveal a white shirt sleeve inside. The hem is in the middle of the thigh, which perfectly covers the rear waist holster.

   "That's it, how much."

   "53 shillings, sir."

   is more expensive than most clothes for one simple reason - it uses a lot of fabric.

  The upper class or nobles may be different, but the price of clothing in the common people depends entirely on its thickness: a few dozen shillings for a coat to keep out the cold? That's a good deal. Dozens of shillings for a thin summer shirt? Have you been tricked by those clerk girls selling clothes again!

  Take money to pay, from entering the store to checkout, the total time is less than one minute.

   The windbreaker was no longer taken off by Lu Li, he just put it on like that, walked towards the door of the store as the clerk said goodbye, suddenly stopped and turned his head to ask.

   "Is this windbreaker still available?"

  …

   "That's why you bought...one two three four five... seven coats, seven shirts?"

   "If I often get involved in dangerous situations, my clothes will wear out very quickly." Lu Li's answer seemed to make some sense.

   "But you don't have to buy so many..." Anna looked at the pile of clothes on the bed and felt an indescribable shock: "And it's still the same... Wouldn't you get tired of wearing the same clothes all the time?"

   "The same goes for you." Lu Li's voice came out in an angry voice.

  Anna couldn't refute, but felt that Lu Li was unreasonable, and said with a sullen mouth, "Aren't we short of money, why do we still spend money on so many clothes."

   "Did you forget, we just got a batch of property." Lu Li's upper body stuck out of the closet, holding a few hangers in his hand: "Have you counted how many?"

A little embarrassed and a little embarrassing, Anna's voice was much quieter: "One thousand seven hundred shillings, one of them was crumpled when it was folded because it was too new, but it was glued by me and should be able to be used. "

   "We still have two thousand one hundred shillings, including what's on me."

   Lu Li said while hanging his clothes on the hanger.

   "Enough for us to spend a while."

   The last time he thought shillings were good was when he first came here and took apart his mobile phone and sold it to collectors who regarded it as a handicraft.

   "Are you going to take a break?" Anna asked as she floated to the window and sat down, shaking her calf lightly.

   "Rest? No, I still have things to do." Lu Li put the hanger on which he put his clothes on into the closet, and picked up a new hanger to repeat the previous actions.

   Before that, Lu Li was looking for Richard to find out the source of the "door", but he didn't necessarily want to find Richard. The Night Watch and the Demon Slayer Association probably have information on the "door". But now, Lu Li, invaded by the **** tentacles, must find Richard as soon as possible.

  Before found by the "door", before the **** tentacles in the head did not attack.

  Anna didn't know anything about it. Lu Li's perfect emotional control made him hardly see anything out of the ordinary, except that at a certain moment, he silently stared at the clouds outside the window.

   "So what are you looking at? What's in the cloud?"

   "Nothing. Thinking about the next move."

  Lu Li retracted his gaze, put the last shirt into the closet, and replied to Anna's suspicious gaze.

"real?"

   "Well, I never lie."

   "Then what are we going to do next?"

   "I already know the location of the next clue." Lu Li replied, looking out the window again.

   Overcast clouds, illusory tentacles protruding from the depths of the clouds, connecting the heaven and earth. Their landing point is where Lu Li will go next.

  …

   The carriage swayed and slowly drove towards the top of the mountain.

  As we reach the top of the mountain, we start to go downhill and leave Belfast, and the surroundings become desolate and empty at a speed visible to the naked eye.

   Weeds have not yet grown on the ground, and the green shoots from dead trees are not enough to infect the gray world here. Under the gloomy rain curtain, this world looks lifeless.

  Only the occasional rushing from behind, or a carriage coming in front can dispel some negative emotions a little.

  Lu Li sat in front of the curtain, raised the corner of his clothes and looked up at the sky. There are a total of six tentacles in the clouds, one of which falls on the back of the mountain, which seems to be the location of Watching Town.

   They are hidden behind the clouds, connecting from the sky to the ground, swaying gently.

   What do these tentacles represent? Someone parasitized by O'Connor or tentacles? Or just random?

   "You seem to like looking at the sky today..." Anna in the carriage looked away from the book, tilted her head, and looked back and forth between Lu Li's face and the sky.

   She has asked many times, but it seems that Lu Li doesn't want to tell the truth, including this time.

   "Just to see if it will rain."

"All right."

  Ana lowered her head worriedly, and continued to look at the comic book that Lu Li bought without thinking.

   In a way, Anna thinks too much. Although Lu Li was in trouble, she didn't think much of it. But the reason why Lu Li didn't tell her the truth was simple: it was really troublesome to explain.

   Silence returned to the carriage, except for the occasional sound of Anna sniffling, only the sound of rushing.

  Lu Li's sight returned to the clouds.

   Anyway, get close to one of them, and you know what the **** are these tentacles spreading in the clouds.
