Chapter 157 Seventy-two. Letters from Anna

   Ten in the morning in the rainy season is like six in the morning. It was just dawn and it was a little cold.

   After breakfast, the atmosphere of the detective agency became like an afternoon, a little leisurely and lazy.

  Rainy days always make people lazy and make people want to stay still under the covers.

   Lu Li only ate half of the broth and didn't make himself full. For food that tastes less delicious, being hungry and not hungry makes it taste better.

  Who knew that Anna would use the sugar that had been in the kitchen for an unknown amount of time as salt and put it into the broth?

  The bag of sea salt that I bought obviously was placed in a very conspicuous place.

   The laundromat's passage and food gave a bad start to today, but in any case, the crisis is gone for a while, and I can finally calm down for a while.

  Although only temporarily.

  The whole morning was peaceful, only the newsboy showed up with today's newspaper. The above content is still dominated by hurricanes, and the entire Principality of the Ellen Peninsula, which was affected by the hurricane, is busy. Towns are being kept under control, nobles are patrolling their lands and estates, commoners are repairing their destroyed homes, and councils of elders are busy naming hurricanes.

   Followed by the missing Kodak Searson incident, strangely, people found that the connection between the farmland and garden was made up.

   It is not only the Immortal Giant that has lost contact, but also the continent of Farmland Garden.

   Some conspiracy theorists believe that the farmland is plotting a war, while some pessimists believe that the farmland has been occupied by ghosts and no one has survived. At present, the Principality of the Lennon Islands, which is the closest to the farmland, has sent a naval vessel to follow the sailing route of the Kodak Searson and is expected to arrive at the place where the Kodak Searson last disappeared in two days.

   There may be people from the three major organizations on the ship sent out.

  Lu thought centrifugally.

   Weirdness emerges endlessly, and no matter how firm the materialism is, it will change the view, especially in this world where the industry is just budding.

   Even if the two major news are attacked, Baron Joseph's entertainment news still firmly occupies a section.

   reported that the trial had entered the stage of proof, and the evidence provided by the plaintiff was very unfavorable to Baron Joseph.

   That's why she didn't have time to harass Lu Li these days.

perhaps.

   knock knock --

   The knock on the door interrupted Lu Li's reading, and looked at Anna who was lying at the end of the bed reading. Lu Li put down the newspaper, got up and opened the door.

   The postman in dark green uniform delivered three letters.

  Closed the door, returned to the desk and opened the envelope. The senders of the letters were: Baron Joseph, Lady Slav, and Anna.

  Lu Li raised his black eyes and glanced at Anna, who was focused on reading on the bed in the bedroom, and at the three letters on the table.

  The content of Baron Joseph and the Slavs is highly recognizable. The former used a few 100 shillings of the head of MacDonald II stacked into a heart shape, while the latter's perfumed stationery was filled with gorgeous and disgusting love words.

  What would Anna's envelope be, a confession of bad food?

  Lu Li thought and took out the letter.

The    letter paper is very strange, as if it was torn from a certain book, with uneven fractures, and something written in scribbled and clumsy handwriting on the back.

  Lu Li turned to the back of the paper and looked at the scribbled lines.

  【…some adults said that there seems to be some kind of swamp ahead…what is the swamp? 】

  【April 12th. I'm sad...I don't know what happened, my father and mother rushed in and ran with me in a panic. They took me into the woods and the ground was very wet. Is this a swamp? There are a lot of bugs here, but fortunately we found the house before dark. It was the same family of three as us, and there was a little boy! 】

The    diary was interrupted for a few days from here, and the handwriting began to change.

  【April 15th. My mother told me that this is called a diary. You can write on it, and you can write down whatever you want. I want to eat big...]

  The familiar content brought Lu Li's memory back to the wooden house deep in the swamp.

  The content on the paper is the content of Little Rena's diary, and the handwriting is the same.

   Maybe it was torn from that diary.

   Silently turned the letter to the front, Lu Li looked at the first row.

  The beautiful handwriting is connected together, and the urgency of the person who wrote it can be felt between the lines.

  【Lu Li, if you receive this letter, you must not read it beside "Anna"! 】

  Lu Li looked away from the letter and fell into the bedroom with the door open.

  Anna was lying on the bed unknowingly, shaking her calves at will, as if she was still lying on the sideways.

  【Escape, escape to a place where no one can find you! Especially where "I" can't find it! 】

  【When you are safe, look at the content below. Remember, don't let her... no, it's "me". Be sure not to let "me" see the content of the letter! 】

  【You are so smart, you must have guessed... Yes, I am Anna. I... I was left here, the wooden house in the swamp. 】

  【I don't know why this happened, remember when you rested because of the storm? You were resting then, with your back to me. Then suddenly something rushed towards me and I flew out and saw my own ghost...I don't know how to describe this scene, it was like...I died again and then I became the ghost of the ghost. But this time was far more terrifying than the last death, because I saw my own ghost...with consciousness. 】

  【That's definitely not me! I saw the flash of red light and tyranny in her eyes, very unfamiliar...she...is she the mother of the swamp! ? 】

  【I don't know who the ghost that occupies me is, but she didn't hurt you. When you wake up, I understand that she is approaching you, she is playing me! ! ! 】

  【I try to call you, but you can't hear anything...】

  【I watched you and the existence occupying my body leave, come back, rest for a few hours, and leave before dark. 】

  【You didn't find anything, you thought "I" was me, and left me alone in the wooden house...]

  【The bird-beak woman saved me, she could actually see me, I asked them to send this letter, I think they would agree, the bird-beak woman is actually a good person. 】

  【I know you believe in "me" very much, I have a way to convince you that what I said is right. do you remember? Our past, and what you told me. The arm of the sculpture broke from time to time while helping us in the gallery. You told me that the "door" was affecting you. You have a **** tentacle in your head. We went to the Shadowswamp to solve the tentacle. The most important purpose is to find Richard and find a way to get rid of the "door" and "tentacle". 】

  【Don't come to me. By the time you read this letter it is likely that I have been sacrificed to the Swamp Mother. I...I don't know what else to say. I thought I was going to panic because I was going to die again. I thought I'd be calm because I've already died once. 】

  【Lu Li, I don't want to leave you...】

  【I'm so lonely...】

  【Please, don’t come to me】
