Chapter 77 Seventy-seven. Source of infection: door

   On the way back, Lu Li passed the newsstand, paying attention to the news about the farmland and the ocean.

  The news about the deep sea did not appear, but the newsboy turned to a recent news related to the farmland garden.

  Lu Li bought this "Walson Post" and read it quietly on the way back on foot - there is not much money left, so save as much as you can.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is simply stupid to exchange a few answers with the same monthly salary of 1000 shillings as most people. Note that the only thing that can match it is to go out to sea without oil lamps after nightfall, or use a 100 shilling. Shillings buy nine ten shillings.

   By the way, it is unknown whether the former does this, while the latter does.

  1000 shillings can do a lot of things, such as letting a family of three eat meat for nearly two months, buying dozens of pounds of kerosene, and eating brown bread until they get tired.

   But Lu Li thought it was worth it.

   Money in exchange for knowledge is a very cost-effective thing no matter what. especially hard-to-get knowledge.

The relevant content of   Cultivation Garden is on the third page of the newspaper. Lu Li simply read the contents of the first two pages and determined that the main content of the "Walson Post" is some real-time news of the Allen Peninsula, and then turned to the third page.

  【The Shymfast man was rejected for change, and in anger he exchanged 100 shillings for 90 shillings of change. Some homeless people think it's art—]

  【New route confirmed: sailing from the Lennon Islands, passing through the barren land and farmland, and finally arriving in Belfast】

  [Baron Joseph is sued - she will be brought to court for invasion of privacy, unlawful confinement, rioting, beating men, and not wearing underwear]

  The news of this Baron Joseph is exceptional.

   After a short pause in the gossip news, Lu Li set his sights on the news about the new route.

  【The Royal Hodkin Sailing Company wants to launch reforms and get rid of the old and conservative title. Its first steam-powered giant cruise ship "Kodak Selson" (in the language of the Badlands, meaning: immortal giant) was launched half a month ago, and it was the maiden voyage of a new route. The new route departs from the commercial port of Harsco in the Lennon Islands, passes through the North Shore of the Badlands and the Farmland Cape Promontory, and finally arrives at the port of Rodster in Belfast. The total sailing distance is 3,500 nautical miles, with an estimated duration of 23 days. Hodkin Royal Sailing Company said they will set sail from the port in a month's time with the gigantic ship, the Immortal Giant. 】

  Cultivation Garden was mentioned in the newspaper by the way, except that he knew that there was a new route passing through Cultivated Garden, and there was a place called Wang Haijiao, Lu Li knew nothing about it.

   If you want to know more about arable gardens, you still need books or ask others. The former is difficult to get geography-related books, and the latter is similar to newspapers - it can only let Lu Li know, not understand.

   However, the farmland garden is still far from the land for the time being, whether it is a problem or a distance. The farmland can be investigated, but before that, Lu Li has more important things to solve.

   Such as livelihood issues.

   Like those voices and the giant eyeballs floating from the ceiling.

  …

   "You're back~"

  Ana waved hello.

   Her translucent ghost wears an apron around her waist and is directing a broom to clean the floor.

"Um."

  Lu Li nodded and closed the door behind him.

  Anna was almost used to Lu Li's calmness or indifference, and continued to play the broom with wisdom, earnestly acting like a conductor conducting an orchestra.

  Lu Li returned to the desk and sat down, placing the folded newspaper on the stack of newspapers stacked in the corner of the desk.

   opened the drawer and pulled out the task list from the only book.

  Lu Li picked up the pen, took off the cap, and added the finish after the first line.

   This quest chain can already be regarded as the end. Lu Li thought for a while and wrote new content below.

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

  [Important: Find the source of the anomaly]

  【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]

  Close the cap of the pen, Lu Li put away the pen and the task list, and closed the drawer.

  Ana was cleaning the bedroom floor, Lu Li sat calmly in his seat, thinking about the anomaly he encountered in Hades.

   Generally speaking, when you come across a question that has no source, it's a good idea to correlate the question with other clues. This may not be useful, but it will help you broaden your mind.

  Lu Li did just that. After being unable to understand where the anomaly came from, Lu Li associated it with all the supernatural events he encountered.

Associate the anomaly with the first ghost, associate the anomaly with the gallery, associate the anomaly with the James Campbell diary, associate the anomaly with the Hades, associate the anomaly with the sewer door, associate the anomaly with Michelia , associating anomalies with broken candlesticks...

  Lu Li's gaze subconsciously fell on the corner of the table, the envelope that only he could see was lying quietly on the table.

  …Associating anomalies with letters invisible to outsiders.

   But it seems far-fetched, the two have no similarities or can be related except that they have no source.

   Until Lu Li added a new clue: James Campbell's diary.

   The voice of inquiry in the void and the gigantic eyeballs that appeared. Unsigned letter of unknown origin. as well as……

  The last paragraph of James Campbell's diary suddenly appeared in Lu Li's mind.

  【I can't take it anymore...I have to stick it to stay sane...this is the last thing, I'm going in. If anyone sees this diary, please remember - stay away from it. When you hear it, they can see you. When you see it, they can touch you. Don't touch them...don't...the door opens. 】

  【It came to me】

   "When you hear it, they can see you. When you see it, they can touch you. Never touch them."

   Lu Li murmured the content, almost intuitive, Lu Li added a new clue to it again: the door of the sewer.

   This seems to complete a certain key node, allowing Lu Li to follow the four clues and deduce it logically.

   Lu Li, who was watching the diary, was stained with them, or some kind of curse. And the sewer door encountered later is one of them. The door infected Lu Li, making Lu Li a special individual like James Campbell. If its infection is divided into three stages, Lu Li is now in the first stage: listening.

   This explains the unidentified and invisible letter. It also explained the questioning voice in the void and the eyes that were about to open.

   This kind of speculation seems absurd, but Lu Li can't think of other possibilities for the time being...

   Jingle bell bell bell!

   At this moment, the phone rang suddenly.
