Chapter 44: 44. New goals

   Chapter 44 Forty Four. New Goals

   Oliver was only forced to send love letters.

  Lu Li didn't intend to read those love letters that were filled with gorgeous words and full of the sour smell of love, and put them together with the previous letter into the deepest part of the drawer.

   There were faint voices in the bedroom. Lu Li was not interested in listening to the whispers from the girls' room, but occasionally there would be a few uncontrollable and slightly clear voices that reached the living room.

   "You still look the same..."

   "Well, you've grown up, your appearance... and your figure."

   "Pfft...what are you thinking about?"

  Lu Li silently retracted his attention and started today's "Belfast Today"

The first page of the homepage is printed in the most conspicuous bold font: [There will be rain soon, and the haze that fills the skies of the Allen Peninsula is about to end]. Most of the content is also related to the weather. Some scholars have analyzed and commented that the rain will bring the Allen Peninsula to the Ellen Peninsula. What kind of benefits, such as plants.

  Thanks to the long-lasting fog, the time has come to June, but Belfast is still bare and gray. There were no green shoots from the trees, and no sign of the ever-growing weeds.

  Belfast is a harbour city, and the plants don't grow at most, they just look bare and ugly. But I heard that farmers in the inland who depend on growing crops to survive have begun to panic. If the crop doesn't germinate, it may well be too late to harvest before the winter snowfall.

The second edition of    is also about the weather. The City of Belfast issued a message that the rainy season on the Allen Peninsula is coming, reminding residents to pay attention to moisture protection and hoarding of kerosene.

   Belfast's kerosene is shipped from other cities. After the rainy season begins, Belfast will turn into swamps due to the terrain, making it extremely difficult to pass. By then, Belfast will be like a desert island, almost isolated from the world.

   Turning to the third edition, it is no longer about the weather, but about a baron's tidbits.

   [A dancer sued Baron Joseph to court: claiming that he was violated by Baron Joseph at a private dance a few days ago]

   It can be seen that Belfast news is lacking, and this entertainment news actually occupies an entire page.

After a few glances, Lu Li continued to turn the page, and the following news became much more normal. For example, there was a murder in Heijin Street. After a scholar went to a prostitute without being paid, he fought with the young lady and got a lot of hair ripped out. Desai. Si became the police chief of Xingchen District and so on.

   Time passed silently until almost an hour passed.

  Squeak-

  The door suddenly opened, and Daisy walked out of it with a smile in her eyes.

  Anna floated behind her, her eyes like crescent moons, and she was also smiling.

   Daisy first politely said goodbye to Lu Li, then dragged Anna and whispered some whispers among the girls, then waved her hand and left reluctantly.

   "I thought you guys would stay a while longer."

  After Daisy left, Lu Li said to Anna who was floating over.

  Anna floated to Lu Li's side and sat down beside the desk: "I drove her away, I told her I couldn't come out for too long."

  Lu Li said nothing, waiting for Anna to continue.

There were a few worries between her eyebrows: "I have been thinking about one thing since I woke up, am I still human now? I can think, speak, and affect the things around me, but I am dead... Unlike you."

  Anna's bright eyes fell on Lu Li, with some kind of expectation - it seemed that she expected Lu Li to say some comforting words to inspire her heart.

   But she obviously thinks too much, Lu Li never comforts people, just like he never talks nonsense.

  Anna waited stupidly for a long time, and found that Lu Li had no sign of speaking, her delicate cheeks gradually flushed, and she shouted angrily, "You don't have anything to say to me!"

   "...There are still some." After a few seconds of silence, Lu Li nodded, and when Anna's eyes suddenly lit up, he said, "Why did you drive her away?"

  “???”

In just a few seconds, Anna's mood changed rapidly, from confusion to confusion, from embarrassment to relief, she finally sighed, not knowing whether it was because of Lu Li or Daisy: "I'm afraid that staying with me too long will not be good for her health. Isn't it written in those ghost novels, ghosts and living people will affect the living..."

  Anna's voice stopped abruptly, she quickly covered her mouth and glanced at Lu Li secretly.

   "I'm feeling fine so far."

   Lu Li replied that he didn't care about this.

  Anna breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed a little lonely.

  A ghost doesn't want to hurt his friend before his death because of himself, and at first glance, it is a warm-hearted ghost.

   "The times have changed." Lu Li suddenly spoke, his tone a bit strange.

   "What?" Anna was stunned, unable to understand.

  Lu Li pointed to the phone and continued: "If you are worried that contact with her may cause her physical problems, why not call her."

   "...I'm going to ask for a phone!"

  Anna looked impatient and rushed out the door in shame to call out Daisy, who had not gone far.

  Lu Li retracted his gaze, raised the newspaper again, then remembered that he had finished reading the newspaper, and folded it up beside the table.

   He began to think about the next commission.

   The current situation is a bit embarrassing. Lu Li’s deposit is 700 shillings, which means that he receives a commission of more than 300 shillings, which is enough to go to Hades to ask the truth.

   And the problem is, Lu Li doesn't have a commission of more than 300 shillings. This meant that Lu Li had to accept two more orders to make up the 1,000 shillings.

   He took out the pile of commission information in the drawer, the priority order was the haunted house and the lunatic asylum.

  The former is easy enough, you just need to investigate and confirm whether the ghost in the haunted house is a real ghost or a real ghost. The latter is somewhat dangerous, but is related to Athena. His husband had disappeared near the asylum, and there might be some clues there.

  Besides these two commissions, one of the remaining two commissions is the Belfast Library, where Lu Li encountered a wraith—he naturally wouldn’t try his luck.

   The last thing left is the phantom of Stover's Lumberyard.

[This commission was jointly posted by several lumberjacks. They claimed that there would be walking figures and strange communication sounds in the forest every evening. will not disappear. The lumberjacks hoped to find out the truth and exorcise the ghosts. 】

   This is what was written on the entrustment message, and the clues revealed in just a few words made Lu Li smell something wrong.

   More importantly, it is far from Belfast and close to the countryside. If he encounters some kind of danger, Lu Li can't even contact the police station in time.

   Just then, Anna floated in from behind the door.

   "Catch up?" Lu Li said without raising his head.

   "Hmm." Anna nodded, her cheeks still a little red.

  Lu Li put down the entrustment message, raised his black eyes and looked directly at Anna: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

  Anna was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, her light blue clear eyes became brighter and brighter, bursting with dazzling light like stars.
