The air was infused with a fishy smell even stronger than seawater.
All around the outskirts of the town were collapsed outer walls and dilapidated ancient houses, uninhabited. There were no traces of residents, as if the figures gazing from the sea had all hidden away.
Ophelia suddenly stopped, a dark red glow emanating from the cracks in her body.
"Something... is warning... me."
As a vengeful spirit, Ophelia was repelled outside the town, while Lu Li, being human, was unaffected.
"You wait here."
"No..."
"I'll need your support once I'm out."
Lu Li checked the items he carried. The Spirit-Calling Gun and silver-plated bullets, a canteen and canned food, an oil lamp and fluorite, some shillings and a few pieces of strange currency, pills, and a monocular telescope were all with him.
"Wait... wait."
Ophelia rasped softly.
"I... have something... to tell... you, about... Anna."
"What."
"She's... still alive, right by... your side."
