Fourteen. The Girl Holding an Umbrella

"I don't hope so,"

Lu Li gently shook his head in the glow of the oil lamp behind the desk.

"But there's no other way. O'Connor is rotting every day, and maybe by tomorrow he will have turned into something else, and we won't be able to find him."

Anna wanted to find O'Connor before he attacked another victim, but that was impossible.

Lu Li, however, thought of Hades' seemingly meaningful looks; he seemed to be quite opposed to strengthening ghosts—Lu Li planned to ask why when he had time.

The surroundings quieted down, and Lu Li began to ponder the whereabouts of Richard.

Richard's plan had been fully laid out before him, and now Lu Li needed to find O'Connor and get Richard's location from him.

He already knew what O'Connor was about to do, so all he had to do was wait.
