   Chapter 707 Two hundred and eighty-four. The story will finally end

  Havijonnar town.

  This town that was abandoned because of the quiet time has become lively again recently because of the quiet time, not because of the river a mile away.

  In order to develop and observe the river, people gathered in this small town that is not too close or too far from the quiet time.

   These are only temporary.

   As the crusade ended in failure again, the exorcist organization did not think of a better idea to solve the third disaster, and people had to retreat to the coast.

   Except for the supplies sent by the family members and caravans who came to visit, there are almost no unfamiliar faces in the town.

  Therefore, as evening approached, Lu Li, whose clothes were covered with folds and dust, appeared in the town, attracting the attention of many people.

   The exorcist who protects people is the first to approach. He uses the sensory alarm clock to confirm that Lu Li is not weird and then loses his vigilance. After learning about Lu Li's identity, he becomes enthusiastic, and after learning about Lu Li's purpose, he becomes respectful.

   They entertained Lu Li warmly and prepared food and medicine for him.

  Lu Li rejected their goodwill, because the merchant arrived ten minutes later with clean clothes, food, medicine, ammunition, and four new psychic guns.

  Lu Li unloaded the gun and loaded it with bullets.

   "What's the news about Maiden's Shadow?"

   "It didn't appear again."

  Click—

   Closing the barrel of the gun, Lu Li raised his eyes and asked the businessman, "When was the last time she appeared."

   "7 hours ago, the victim was a judge."

  click—

   "Is there any news of her elsewhere."

"No."

   loaded the four psychic guns with ammunition, and when the merchant left, Lu Li asked the civilian downstairs to bring a basin of clean water, took off his clothes, and wiped off the salt crust left by the dried and evaporated seawater on his body.

  dong dong dong—

   There was a knock on the door, and there were many chaotic footsteps.

  Lu Li put the towel into the water basin, the towel sank into the bottom of the basin, picked up the shirt folded at the end of the bed, stretched his arms to put it on, tied the button to the door, and opened the door.

  People gathered behind the door, standing at the front was a girl with braids supported by her mother's shoulders. She was only eight or nine years old, holding up a kitten made of straw in her hand.

   "Mister Demon Slayer, this is for you."

   "What is this." Lu Li said.

   "It's hard to hide your purpose." The exorcist standing beside said helplessly: "They know that you are here to help people solve the third calamity, and they all want to see you...and bless you."

   "It will protect you from being attacked by monsters." The girl said in a clear voice.

   Lu Li swept across people's faces, with sincere blessings and respect... and a touch of sadness.

   "The custom of this land, the straw dolls made by children have the meaning of blessing and protection," said the exorcist.

  Lu Li took it and put it together with the straw doll.

"thanks."

  The happy children and the happy people left the door, Lu Li closed the door, put on a coat, a psychic gun, and a cloak.

   When everything was ready, Lu Li pushed the door and walked downstairs.

   "Where are you going, Mr. Demon Slayer?"

  The woman who was preparing dinner asked in astonishment. The smell of the kitchen showed that she was preparing a delicious dinner.

"Set off."

   "But it's getting dark..." She still had a spoon in her hand.

   "Some dangers accompany me, which may cause trouble for you." Lu Li said.

  The woman did not dare to call the exorcist who lived in another room.

   "Mr. Demon Slayer wants to leave now... He said that staying will bring trouble." She narrated anxiously.

   "What a lot of trouble." The exorcist asked Lu Li with a frown.

   "A new evil spirit."

   "Is it unsolvable?"

   "The way to decipher the ritual is not clear enough." Lu Li said, telling the exorcist about Anna's ritual, there are also possible ways to decipher the ritual: "Temporarily making the shadow disappear may avoid the ritual, such as hiding in the dark."

  The exorcist thought for a moment and asked, "Is there no other way?"

There are    methods, such as keeping Lu Li far enough away from the townspeople.

   But the town is not big enough.

  The exorcist had to sigh and send Lu Li to the door.

  Lu Li opened the door and was about to step out when suddenly there was a muffled sound of a cooking pot falling and messy footsteps from the kitchen.

   He turned around suddenly, saw the woman appear by the kitchen door, and shouted to himself frantically: "I found a way!"

In the    shouting, she was like a candle close to the fire, melting and flowing, blending into the shadow of the girl who was as black as ink on the floor.

  Anna is here...

  Coldness poured over his body, Lu Li subconsciously clenched the oil lamp, no light came on, only then did he remember that the "lighthouse" was lost in the river.

   "Hide in the dark."

   Lu Li alerted the dazed exorcist, ran out of the house and rushed into the street.

   At the same time, the frenzied shout of the exorcist came from the door behind him: "The way to get you out of the séance rope ceremony!"

  Lu Li was silent and ran out of the town.

  The ignorant people on the street looked curiously, but no one noticed that the shadow of a girl walking gracefully suddenly appeared in the street and walked into their shadow.

   The man holding the firewood shouted at Lu Li: "The rope of seance is indeed dead..."

  The window on the second floor was shattered, and the man whose face was covered with glass shards shouted down: "But its power has been taken away..."

  The woman holding the child left the boy who was crying in fear: "It's those believers who believe in whirlpools..."

  The child stopped crying, got up and screamed: "The evil **** in the whirlpool..."

   The two companions walking together walked towards Lu Li: "I cursed you with that power..."

  The man who ran away stopped abruptly and turned his body: "It wants to turn you into a servant..."

   The exorcist who held the alarm clock aloft discarded the alarm clock: "Wait until you kill the third plague..."

  The figure on the second floor jumped down and smashed to the ground with a scream: "It will bring glory to faith..."

   A figure rushed out of the street: "The only way to break the curse is..."

  The old woman was leaning against the window, screaming loudly: "Die!"

  The exit of the town is just ahead, and a large wilderness emerges in Lu Li's eyes - there is also a little girl standing in the middle of the road, holding a straw cat in her hands, and her eyes continue to cry.

   "My love, I am waiting for you in front."

   The girl's clear eyes flowed like flowers, and her lips melted to reveal the ugly gums, which were covered by the falling eyeballs, and finally melted and collapsed into the shadow.

  Ana's shadow gracefully walked over and stood in front of Lu Li who was standing still.

   Chaos is spreading in the town behind him. And the shadow gently opened his arms and embraced Lu Li, as if an invisible figure was hugging him.

   A gust of breeze blew, bringing up the ends of the hem of the clothes and blowing away the shadows on the ground.

  …

  The strange fog came as promised in the dark night.

  Ten miles north of the town of Heavijonnar, behind a huge rock sheltered from the wind, a strange fog circumvented a small area in front of the rock.

   Or, they enclose a small area in front of the rock.

  A figure leaned back against the warm rock, the lit campfire licking his face.

   He whispered a name.

  “Anna…”
