“This place is becoming increasingly dangerous,” Anna murmured, and worse, they couldn’t set sail for the Lennon Islands.

The content captured on this note sent shivers down the spine.

Moreover, it implied that there weren’t enough investigators available to address these new events.

She looked towards Lu Li, waiting for his decision.

“Let other exorcists in the city handle these incidents,” Lu Li took note of the demonic invasion details, took the note, and let the raven go.

He didn’t intend to wade into troubled waters, at least not now.

Having just dealt with the Richard case, both his body and spirit were exhausted, and Lu Li needed a good night’s rest.

Anna nodded slightly, perhaps it wasn’t the right thought, but she was relieved and relaxed that Lu Li was not taking any risks.

“Let’s talk about some things after we get back.”

Lu Li’s subsequent words made Anna pause, she stared at his calm face for a few seconds and then nodded lightly.

“Okay.”

…

In the sewers, “Little Grown-ups’ Home”.

Aside from the scouts guarding outside, all members were in the camp, gathered around the fire.

“I want canned food.”

“Me too.”

“Wei’er Wei’er, is it fruit-flavored?”

The children clamored all at once.

Wei’er, with wide glasses perched on her nose, looked helplessly at her assistant, the little girl who brought Lu Li, Mera.

Mera understood and went to calm down the younger siblings.

“Mr.

Luli who just came wants to take us to live in the city, in a clean, warm house, just like a home.

We won’t have to pick up trash and unwanted clothes anymore, we won’t have to choke on smoke, and we won’t have to sleep on damp blankets or suffer from aching legs every day.

And we will have the kind Mr.

Luli to take care of us.”

Wei’er was just persuading her younger siblings, but as she spoke, her emotions became more excited.

The smallest girl, who was playing with her toes, raised her hand and asked, “Will there be a mom and dad there?”

Wei’er looked at her tenderly and said gently, “No, but we will all be there, and who knows, maybe there will be neighbor children to play with.”

As her words fell, the children who had just calmed down started to make noise again.

“I want to go!”

“I want to eat fruit cans!”

“I’ll listen to Sister Weiwei.”

“Quick, call brother back.”

This time, Wei’er did not ask them to be quiet.

After the siblings had finished making noise, she said, “Mr.

Luli has already gone back, but he promised that we can go to see him tomorrow.

We’ll stay one more night, then we can move to our new home tomorrow.”

“I’ll go tell Little Jimmy!”

A little boy climbed off the bed, pushed open the iron door, and ran out.

The remaining kids also bounced around on the beds, their laughter carrying far and wide.

Wei’er, showing a gentle and caring demeanor uncommon for her age, clapped her hands and said, “Let’s find the things we want to take with us, we’ll go see Mr.

Luli at dawn.

Don’t take too many things, Mr.

Luli would get mad.”

“Oh!” Mera was the first to rush to her bed.

The other kids also started searching like it was a game, the cheerful atmosphere dispelling the sadness of leaving their “home”.

The little boy who had gone to notify Little Jimmy also came back, followed by a surprised group of “Boy Scouts,” but poor Little Jimmy was sent by Wei’er to stand guard again, laughed at by his siblings.

Soon, a little girl without a left hand came up to Wei’er with a blue teddy bear missing an ear and raised it up to ask, “Can I take my bear with me?”

Wei’er rubbed Qiqi’s head: “Of course you can.”

Then two more siblings came to ask, and Wei’er patiently gave them answers.

Thump—Thump thump—

A dull knocking sound arose as Mera, flipping a coin under the pillow, looked up, clutching several shillings, and ran to the door, about to open the iron gate.

“Wait a moment, Mera…”

Wei’er suddenly pulled Mera back just as she was about to open the door.

It seemed odd to her; Little Jimmy had just been sent to stand guard and wouldn’t come back so quickly, and he would never knock like that…

Thump—Thump thump—

At that moment, a second round of knocking sounded.

Wei’er turned her head, gestured for her siblings to be quiet, and slowly pulled Mera back.

The children instinctively stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door, waiting for the third knock.

Thump—

Just as the knock sounded, a young voice came from outside.

“Wei’er, why aren’t you opening the door!”

Some of the children blinked in fright at the sudden voice, Wei’er breathed a sigh of relief but still asked cautiously, “How did you get here?”

“Mr.

Luli came back!” Little Jimmy shouted excitedly.

“Mr.

Luli!?” Wei’er exclaimed joyfully, opening the iron door.

The straight figure appeared outside.

“Something has happened, so I hope you can come now,” Lu Li said.

“Yes sir, we have just decided,” Wei’er looked back at her siblings and firmly told Lu Li, “We want to go with you.”
