Chapter 130 Forty-five. Parting ways

The dimness of the    oil lamp was replaced by the desertedness that gradually turned on.

   Arrives earlier than the early morning is the hustle and bustle of the streets.

  Under the lead-like cloud, horses and carriages drove past Sansan Street in an endless stream.

  Wow——la——

   An illusory white palm gently opened the curtain, leaned on the window and looked at the street scene for a while, then picked up the oil lamp windshield and gently blew out the candle.

   An even more desolate darkness filled the room. Anna tilted her head and looked at the pair of open black eyes under the windbreaker.

   "Awake?" Anna put the windshield back on the lamp socket.

"Um."

   Curled legs stretched out, the soles of the leather booties touched the faded boards.

   The weather in the early morning was a bit cold. I heard that the rainy season in previous years does not make people feel cold... But the temperature is less noticeable than the fact that the plants do not germinate.

   In weather like this, you should sit in a comfortable, soft chair, with the warm fireplace in front of you flushing your cheeks, and your hands holding hot tea in your hands to the subtle crackle of the wood bursting.

   Mystery Man does just that.

  When Lu Li pushed open the door of his room, he shrunk into the wooden chair by the window, covered with a blanket, holding the hot coffee in the palm of his hand, and an old suitcase at his feet.

   There seems to be something important in it, so he keeps it with him.

   "Looks like you're resting well, I thought you'd lose sleep." The mysterious man who looked like an old man raised his palm and waved at Lu Li.

   "Worrying is pointless, and thinking too much is not suitable for bedtime."

  Lu Li closed the door behind him to answer, and then asked, "Have the evil spirits left, will they come again?"

   "Wait a minute man, let me answer them one by one."

  The mysterious man put the steaming coffee cup on the windowsill.

"But the answer to the two questions is the same: you are mistaken a little, evil spirits do not exist, they are everywhere to a certain extent, not the wraiths have entities... It's not that they don't have entities. I'm not too specific. To tell you the law, all I can say is... the evil spirit is everywhere, and you are dragged into the ritual by it, and another person thousands of miles away may also be under attack."

   "Randomly, regardless of location?"

   "Almost so." The mysterious man nodded and picked up the cup again.

   This explains why after getting rid of the evil spirit ritual last night, the mysterious man went back to his room and rested at ease.

  Lu Li continued to ask: "I think the rumored Yingchuo and Sasquatch in Shadow Town are real?"

  The coffee cup was brought to his mouth, and the mysterious man who blew away the heat and foam gave Lu Li a strange look: "Didn't you see it with your own eyes yesterday? Hexapods usually move in the swamp, and rarely leave the swamp to the gathering place of humans."

   Who is lying between the mysterious man and the article...

Lu Li thought for a while, the mysterious man lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, with a contented sigh in his throat: "Huh...you must have come from Belfast, right? I can smell the fishy smell of the sea on your body, you can get away from here. About 200 miles away, what are you doing here?"

  Lu Li raised his eyes: "Exorcist, accept the commission to go to Shadow Swamp to investigate something."

  The mysterious man paused: "Are you going to the swamp?"

"Yes."

   Before leaving the room, Lu Li determined the location of the **** tentacle through the window, and it did fall into the Shadow Swamp.

   Entering the swamp is unavoidable.

  The mysterious man fell silent, until the coffee cup in his palm started to get hot before he grinned and put it on the windowsill: "Are you ready?"

   "I brought insect repellant."

  The things that Hades had been instructed so many times, Lu Li naturally could not be left behind.

   "Well, this is indeed one of the preparations." The mysterious man was a little helpless, and said with a meaning: "I mean... there is no other preparation?"

  Lu Li frowned slightly: "I don't understand what you mean."

   "Looks like you're not used to thinking from an exorcist's point of view. What I want to say is... prepare for those things."

   "What are those things in the swamp?"

  Those things count as a general term. Weirdness, spirits, or some other dangerous being counts.

   "Of course, times have changed, and most off-the-beaten track places are now very dangerous. Those other than human...things like to hide in there."

   "What's inside?"

   "Who knows?" The mysterious man shrugged: "My target is on the other side of the swamp... I seem to be talking a bit too much."

  Lu Li said calmly: "On the other side of the swamp is the interior, I can't know where you are going."

"makes sense."

  The coffee was almost no longer hot, and the mysterious man took a big sip.

   "Then how are you going to cross the swamp?" Lu Li asked.

   "Me? Take a carriage across it, the road is safe during the day."

The road that the    mysterious man pointed to was a road leading to the inland in the Shadow Swamp in the Duchy of Ellen Peninsula. It is in the middle of the Shadow Swamp, dividing the swamp into two swamps, north and south.

  Lu Li is going to the southern swamp, which is safer than the northern swamp according to the mysterious man—relative.

   "It's dangerous to go to the swamp without any preparation, commoner."

   "I am the exorcist."

   "No difference, exorcists who don't understand rituals encounter evil spirits just like ordinary people."

   What the mysterious man said might be right, but Lu Li had a reason to go in.

He saw the determination of the black-haired man who kept calm at all times in front of him, and said helplessly: "It seems that you are determined to go in. A reminder, if you are lucky enough to survive, remember to do a sanity test to avoid contamination. things don't know yet."

  Lu Li looked at him: "Where should I go for the test?"

   "You know the night watchman but don't know where to check your sanity?" The mysterious man was puzzled.

   Lu Li's answer to this was: "It's been less than a month since I became an exorcist."

   "Well, you can go to the laundromat with the strange name and get tested. Or sign up for the Night Watch Investigator, they'll test it for you for free."

   "I wrote it down." Lu Li nodded.

  The mysterious man waved his hand: "Then leave, I'm ready to go."

   He lifted the blanket, which was neatly dressed, and seemed ready to pick up the suitcase and leave at any time.

  Lu Li handed him a business card, the mysterious man took it in confusion, and read out a line on the cowhide card: "The Detective Agency of Weird Luli... Lu Li..."

The mysterious man put away his business card, drank his coffee, picked up the wide round hat on the table and put it on: "I won't tell you my name, some evil spirits attack by knowing the name. So we only Using a pseudonym, you can call me a trainee investigator, or call me a seeker. That's the code I plan to use when I'm a regular."

   "Oh yes, I'll give you a piece of advice, if you're going to enter the Shadow Swamp, remember to keep quiet."

  The mysterious man picked up the suitcase and tapped the pinna with the other hand.

   "The swamp can hear what doesn't belong to it."
