"Lu Li..."
The voice called from afar, drawing nearer.
Lu Li emerged from delirium, returning to the cold reality.
Anna watched him gently and worriedly.
"I didn't..."
The explanation ended abruptly, for it was Ophelia.
"You... don't seem... well..." Ophelia said, as Lu Li had just been in a daze.
Lu Li didn't respond to Ophelia, instead, he said to Merchant Anthony: "Contact Vena Ice-Free Port and ask if they have any method to operate during the Fog Tide and Eternal Night... any method."
While waiting for Vena Ice-Free Port's response, they returned to the cellar to wait.
No new clues were found during the wait. Before the method was relayed back, bad news was brought back by Merchant Anthony.
Katerina had disappeared.
Just this morning. Sent to the Sanatorium to recuperate, she vanished from the ward, leaving behind a large patch of mud and seaweed from the depths of the sea.
Ophelia was also not at the ship repair yard.
