  The soles of the shoes moved the sawdust, and the figure carrying the oil lamp stepped onto the scarred ruins.

The    figure seemed to be looking for something, but found nothing, only bent over to pick up a piece of debris from the ruins as he left.

  Mist came from outside the town, and the figure left the ravaged block. His sprained ankle made him limping when he walked.

   knocked on the houses that were glowing in the windows one after another. But the owner of the house either ignored it or turned off the oil lamp by the window.

When    was about to be engulfed by a strange fog, an old couple accepted him and let him into a warm house with a lit fireplace.

"You are hurt?"

   They saw scratches on the figure and dusty clothing.

"What's your name?"

   "Lu Li." He replied.

   Feeling that this young man who seems to have experienced something needs quiet and rest, the old couple arranged him upstairs.

   "...We don't have much food left. If you're hungry, you can have some vegetable soup."

   Lu Li declined the kindness of the old couple, and just went back upstairs to wash the wound with a basin of water. Aside from bruises from falls and rollovers, only sprained ankles were the worst. The latter will take time to recover.

   After cleaning up the wound, Lu Li's eyes fell on the bedside table, and he reached out to pick up the shard he found in the ruins.

  The silver-plated surface is engraved with broken rose fragments, which are part of "redemption".

   Now Lu Li can only find this fragment.

   A strange fog shrouded the whole town, as if something was wandering in the fog.

  In the silent room, Lu Li recalled everything he had seen before.

  Anna's projection possessed the guide, but failed;

  Anna was irrigated by the breath of the inner world and transformed into an evil spirit;

   She had growled "Get out";

When    became an evil spirit, the phantom of the twine appeared on top of Anna's head, like a twisted rope;

  After the transformation ended, Anna... was crying;

  Lu Li raised his head, looked at the dilapidated ceiling, and imagined a hemp rope hanging down, with a silhouette that no longer wobbled inside the rope.

The position of    is wrong, the position of the sling is behind the neck, and the top of Anna's head is more like——

   The sudden surge of sleepiness interrupted Lu Li's thoughts. It became difficult to concentrate, and the weak body urged Lu Li to rest.

  Lu Li only had time to put the "lighthouse" by the pillow, and then fell asleep.

   A quiet and sad night faded away with a deep sleep.

  In the early morning, a strange fog drifted away from the town, and Lu Li woke up yoyo.

   Turned off the oil lamp on the bedside table, and Lu Li returned downstairs with the "lighthouse" and the fragments of redemption.

  The old couple was cooking breakfast by the fireplace: a soup of sun-dried spices and some salt, without any food.

   It cannot prolong human life, but it can fill the stomach.

  Lu Li squeezed the broken stone badge, waited for the merchant to arrive, and continued his thinking last night.

  Ana's transformation was after possessing a guide. The guide is a believer in the Silent Time... Has she lost control of the Silent Time attack?

   Lu Li touched his pocket. The scarecrow given to him by the guide is still there.

  If it still resists the rituals of the time of silence...

  The soup is ready.

  The husband of the old couple filled a bowl with a wooden bowl and came to hand it to Lu Li, who was rejected by Lu Li.

   "You can wait and eat." Lu Li said.

   He was going to buy some canned food.

   "When the soup is cold, it won't fill the stomach." The old man smiled and walked to the fireplace with a wooden bowl to stir the cooking pot.

  Lu Liqing watched the old man sit back by the fireplace, poured the cold soup back into the cooking pot, and refilled a bowl of steaming soup.

   He suddenly tilted his head and looked behind the old man.

  Beside the long and narrow shadow he pulled, there appeared a shadow of a girl who was not long and narrow and did not belong to anyone present.

   The shadow of the dark girl walked towards the shadow of the old man, and before Lu Li did anything, he merged into the shadow of the old man.

Snapped--

  The wooden bowl full of broth suddenly fell into the cooking pot, and the boiling hot soup splashed out. The old man didn't care about the hot soup that fell on his arms and face, turned his head to stare at Lu Li, and said in a weird voice: "Lu Li, it's me."

  Land Li pause action.

   "We're in the séance rope ceremony. I got rid of it, you haven't."

   Before the next sentence was spoken, the old man's body melted like a candle and collapsed into the floor, leaving only Anna's shadow.

   The shadow on the floor turned his head and walked towards the lost old woman again.

  The soft light suddenly poured out from Lu Li's hands, the brilliance of humanity shone on the wooden house, and also drove the shadow of the old woman to the other side.

  Anna's shadow paused, and seemed to tilt her head to look at Lu Li, walked out of the door, and disappeared under the crack of the door.

   The "lighthouse" dimmed, and Lu Li chased Anna's footsteps and came to a street with few pedestrians.

  The breeze swept the wind and sand and blew through the empty streets, and Anna's shadow had disappeared.

   The "lighthouse" lit up again, but did not reveal the shadow that Lu Li was looking for.

  嘭——

   The wooden door of a house beside the road was suddenly knocked open, and a silhouette staggered towards Lu Li, but said to Lu Li in an uncoordinated tone of voice: "It affected you before, and it also affected me."

Before    approached Lu Li, he fell and merged into the gravel ground.

  Whoa——

  Lu Li turned his head and looked at the house on the other side. The window on the second floor was broken, glass fragments were scattered everywhere, and a blood-stained face appeared behind the window, and said numbly, "This is the epic it weaved for you."

   Faces distorted and melted, disappearing behind the window.

  Lu Li looked deep into the alley, where a middle-aged man in shabby clothes was running towards it.

   "Aunt Mary is in the Lennon Islands."

   Only one sentence was left, and the middle-aged man fell into the gravel ground.

There was the sound of stumbling footsteps behind him, Lu Li turned his head, the old woman dragged her broken leg and walked over, with a chilling numbness on her old face: "She is the rope of serenity that drives me to seduce you. bait."

   The wind and sand blowing through the street blinded the sight, only the cluttered footsteps from far and near and the sound of the wind rang out.

   "It blinds my sanity and makes me occupy other people's bodies."

The    figure fell, and a new figure was coming.

   "Emin..."

  The voice of the old man.

   "Elena..."

   The voice of the child.

   "I've always been by your side..."

   "Stop, Anna." Lu Li whispered to the newly emerged silhouette.

   The approaching figure paused and said something irrelevant: "...Lord, don't go! It's all over there—"

The    figure melted into the ground. An old man walked out of the alley tremblingly against the wind and sand.

  The old man fell to the ground, but still stubbornly crawled up to Lu Li, grabbing Lu Li's ankle with his dry palm.

"……I love you."

   The weak voice dissipated in the air with the swept wind.

   no longer appeared, and there were no survivors in this town.

   The sand on the street is getting bigger and bigger, and in the distance of the street, a tall silhouette appears dimly.

  The businessman stood in front of Lu Li.

   "What is the transaction content."

   "A new evil spirit."

  Lu Li lowered his black eyes and seemed to say calmly: "Her image is the shadow of a girl, and ritual is the shadow of a shadow penetrating into other people's shadows. Manipulate the body and get memories."
