Sixty-nine. Sanity Value Test

The next morning dawned overcast and rainy, just as before.

It wasn't as cold as yesterday, but it was nearly so, with the townspeople donning an extra overcoat.

Order had been restored on the streets, yet the collapsed wooden houses and the residents' downcast expressions silently spoke of the recent events.

Anna stayed at the Detective Agency, while Lu Li went out alone, heading for the coastal street.

Mixed with the rain was the sea breeze, and standing in front of Old Pick Laundry, which was still without a main gate, Lu Li stepped inside.

The buzz of conversation filled his ears, and between the tables and chairs, the atmosphere was as lively as a tavern. Nearby residents gathered to chat while waiting for their clothes to be washed.

Old Pique emerged from behind the counter, exchanging a few words with passing residents before approaching Lu Li and signaling for him to follow.
