Chapter 153 Sixty-eight. Old Pique Laundry

   Old Peak Laundry.

  The oldest shop in the coastal district.

   For as long as all the residents of this street can remember this laundromat has existed.

   The owner of this shop is Old Pique, but not the original Old Pique. The current old Pique is handed over to the little Pique after the original old Pique grows old, the little Pique grows old and teaches the little Pique, and the little Pique grows old and gives it to the little Pique... I don't know. After how many times, it was handed over to the current old Pique.

   A family-owned laundromat.

   At this time, Lu Li was standing in front of the shop of the old Pique Laundry, or... in front of the shop.

   Because the door is gone.

  The empty shop was filled with tables and chairs that could be moved into the shop in the future. An old man sat behind the counter, wrapped in a leather coat and dozing off under an oil lamp.

   Its background makes it look like a sanity test place, but what you see in front of you is saying "No, it's not" to Lu Li.

  Although Lu Li didn’t know the sanity test place in the slightest, he would never be so miserable that the store door was destroyed by a hurricane, and it still hasn’t been installed.

  The figure standing for a long time in front of the store was noticed by the old man. His head was no longer drowsy because of the sleepiness. Behind the counter, he stood up, looked at Lu Li strangely, and then looked at Lu Li's empty back.

   "Ghost?"

   "Ghost."

   "The exorcist?"

   "The Exorcist."

   "Test Sanity?"

   "Test Sanity."

   Lu Li's every repetition was like asking, and he found out that this is really the place to test his sanity.

  The old man began to complain that Lu Li did not respect the old and cared for the young. He came to disturb him so late, and asked Lu Li to come back tomorrow after dawn, because the place had already rested.

   Lu Li, who made a mistake in handling the sanity test, reflexively left and will test again tomorrow.

  The old man stopped Lu Li and reminded him not to bring that ghost with him when he came tomorrow, it might be eaten as food by the evil spirits that descended.

  Because the existence of embodied Sanity is itself an evil spirit.

   It was nine o'clock in the evening when Lu Li and Anna returned to Sailor Street. After Lu Li ate the rest of the bread, he borrowed a wooden tub from a neighbor, went to the water room to make some, and put the suit of clothes brought back from the Shadow Swamp into it to wash.

  Swish

   With his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, Lu Li sat on the small stool by the kitchen door, burying his head in the laundry.

   The room smelled of saponin.

  Anna really wanted to help, this feeling would make her feel very warm, but this kind of meticulous work was a nightmare for her.

   Especially she can't do laundry.

  Anna slumped on the sofa behind Lu Li, Lu Li couldn't see it, so she no longer maintained her elegant and dignified side.

   Although this kind of thing is long gone.

   "Is that man we saw on the street..."

"Um."

  Swish

   "That's really sad, his wife and kids are still at home waiting for him..."

  Swish

   "I really don't know how he found his way back in the vast sea."

  Wowla-wowla-

   "It seems like he is the only ghost coming back, what a pity. Fortunately, he can take a look at his family before he disappears again. It's strange to say..."

  Swish

   "...Why did his breath leak out like a balloon?"

   The sound of laundry stopped, Lu Li turned around and looked at Anna who was sitting in a hurry: "What did you say?"

   "That's really sad for his wife and..." Anna said blankly from the beginning.

   "That sentence just now."

   "His breath was like a balloon...leaked out...?"

   "Describe in detail."

   "Eh... Describe the balloon..." Anna's voice was getting smaller and smaller, and an embarrassed blush climbed up her cheeks.

   "Describe the leaked breath, I don't see that."

   "Well... it's just that his breath leaked out of his head, flew higher and higher and disappeared, and then his strength is weakening, and it may not be long before he will die again..."

Snapped--

  The clothes were thrown back into the tub, and some sewage was spilled.

  Anna saw that Lu Li's expression was becoming serious, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

   "Are there other people and ghosts parasitized by blood-colored tentacles on my head?"

  Ana looked at Lu Li's head ignorantly, but there was nothing. The next moment, she suddenly woke up and understood what Lu Li cared about: "Do you suspect that it was parasitized by blood-colored tentacles like you!?"

"Um."

   "You didn't, the others..." Anna fell into memory, then lost. "I don't remember... I'm sorry..."

  The thoughtful Lu Li picked up his clothes again, and the sound of laundry rang out, mixed with his voice: "It may not be the **** tentacles, maybe it's just me thinking too much, or something happened to him."

   always feels like it's not an ordinary coincidence... I hope I think more about it.

  After washing the clothes, pour out the sewage like black mud soup, put on clean water to wash off the foam, and finally wring it out.

   He hung the doubled woolen coat and trousers shirt on the kitchen line, and caught it with a wooden tub below. Lu Li turned on the faucet to wash with the sound of ticking.

   After a while, Lu Li, whose face was slightly pale, put down his sleeves and walked out of the kitchen.

   "Aren't you going to rest yet?" Anna glanced at the time, it was already 10 o'clock.

   "Immediately." Lu Li walked to the desk and sat down, opened the drawer, and took out the paper caught in the crevice of the book.

   Add new brackets and new tasks after the above tasks.

  【Important: Resolve the ghost entangled in yourself (completed)】

  【Important: Know where you are (Complete) - Gather 1000 shillings and Hades to trade more content (Complete)】

  [Important: Find the source of the anomaly (complete) - figure out what the door is]

  【Important: Resolve the **** tentacles in your head】

  【Secondary: Find a new place to live】

  【Minor: buy books, learn about here through books】

  [Secondary: Accumulate enough shillings]

  [Secondary: Understanding the cultivated land garden and the deep sea]

   Minor keeps increasing and never settles.

   However, these cannot be accomplished overnight, and it takes time to accumulate.

   After thinking about it, Lu Li crossed out the tasks of buying books and understanding the farmland, and added a new line below.

  【Important: Understand the world】

  Lu Li did not add any new content, such as getting to know the investigator and the night watchman. Too many tasks would distract him from his memory.

   Anyway, Lu Li will try to contact them after the sanity test tomorrow.

   put the paper clip back on the page, pulled the drawer, and looked up at Anna, who was sitting across the table.

"are not you going to rest?"

   "I want to sleep outside." Anna replied awkwardly.

   She felt that it was better to be outside than in the painting—when Lu Li was there.

  Lu Li loosened his tie and cuffs and walked around the desk: "The bedroom is for you."

"how about you?"

   "I sleep on the sofa."

   "Not so good..." Anna whispered in her heart, embarrassed.

   "Then you sleep on the sofa."

"Eh……"

  The stunned Anna followed Lu Li, and saw that he took off the woolen trench coat from the hanger and lay on the sofa under the window.

   blinked, and Anna floated into the bedroom.

"Good night."

   Anna said outside the bedroom before taking a break.

   Still no reply.

   The quiet sound of rain outside the house occupied the detective agency.
