Chapter 40: Uncoordinated Creatures
After crossing the Thames, Lily and the others did not stop long, and walked briskly towards the Holborn underground station, where they had to get to the underground passage first.
Due to history, there are a lot of theaters left in Dunlun City, and everyone didn't wait long to go out, and then they saw a large theater, whose door number is still clearly visible, and it says Oldwich Theater, and the architectural style also pursues a church-like style, so that everyone in the orphanage has the illusion of seeing their own orphanage, but this theater is still slightly insufficient compared to the pomp and circumstance of the orphanage.
"What should a play look like?" Camille, who was walking in the middle of the line, suddenly asked, but was silenced by Ender on the side.
Seeing this, Lily smiled:
"It shouldn't be a big problem to talk at the moment, the play is said to have professional theater actors performing on stage and singing at the same time, in that kind of sensual aria......" Lily explained to Camille, reflecting on what appeared in the book.
"Acting and singing......" Camille thought the combination was really strange.
"Walk straight down this road and you'll get to Holborn Station." Dunn said, pointing to the wide, empty street in front of everyone.
"Why is it so empty?" Sanjo was a little uncomfortable, because along the way, there were always all kinds of wrecked cars on the road, but this street was different, there were no cars, not even street lights.
Lily motioned for the group to wait, and then asked Camille to help her, standing at the top of a nearby taxi parlor and staring intently into the depths of the street.
"There are some signs of something rubbing on the ground...... The base of the street lamp is still there, the lamp is gone, and the interface feels like it has been torn off......"
Lily watched as she summarized the information.
Aiden, who was looking at Lily, seemed to suddenly feel something, and fell straight down, one ear against the ground, and listened.
Wu, he and Lily spoke at the same time:
"Run!"
Lily immediately jumped out of the taxi booth and took the lead in running in the easterly direction, and she clearly saw the familiar scene of the fog being pushed again, the huge oval ball-like black shadow, and the black shadow to the dozen cone-like structures that might be three or four meters long.
Isn't this the same unknown creature they encountered last time?
Why is it here, isn't it supposed to be further north of the museum? Is it not the only one in this city?
These questions flashed through Lily's mind, but she didn't rush to figure them out, she knew from her memory of the map that there was an entire Royal Court of Justice not far to the east of the group, and she planned to take them there to hide.
Based on the two encounters, Lily judged that the large monster with a strange head should move at a speed proportional to its size, in other words, it would be slow, so that as long as everyone did not confront the monster head-on, they would have a chance to bypass it and get to the subway line.
However, she was also surprised that Aiden had discovered danger almost in the same order as her.
It's just that she doesn't have time to delve into these things now, and as she runs, she glances at the people behind her from time to time, and the fog behind them.
If the monster is chasing after it, then the fog should have obvious traces of being pushed.
Lily quickly led the group to the door of the Royal Judicial Court, and without hesitation, rushed inside, all the way to the second half of the building.
Soon, Lily found what she was looking for – a dormitory building in the backyard of the Royal Court of Justice.
With a turn, Lily rushed into the door of the dormitory building, and quickly climbed to the top floor, but the people behind her couldn't keep up.
"Wait...... Wait, we don't have to go up with Lily. Dunn probably understood what Lily wanted to do, so he reminded everyone out loud:
Lily...... Phew, Lily should be going up to observe the situation, we just need to ...... now Whew, just make sure there is no danger in the building. Dunn was running a little panting, so he was out of breath when he spoke.
The crowd slowed down and began to divide their work to inspect the floor.
Lily went straight to the top floor in one breath, and after cleverly opening the old U-shaped lock to the rooftop, she gently pushed open the door and looked out on. She remembered that dragon-like creatures could fly, so if she wanted to go up to the top and observe, she had to be careful of such monsters.
After making sure that there were no other creatures, Lily opened the door and went to the roof of the dormitory, and jumped to the top of the corridor where she came out, and stood on the top of the rooftop, staring intently in the direction they had run all the way.
It didn't take long for Lily to see the fog being pushed away, to see the monster slowly burrowing out of the fog, and to see the monster in its entirety.
The monster had an exaggerated head, a strange structure protruding from the entire upper half of the head, varying in length, as if the monster had no neck, and the back of the head was directly connected to the whole large, round body, with stubby limbs, some spike-like structures on the back, and a short tail.
The monster as a whole was filled with a very uncomfortable sense of incongruity, moving slowly, and Lily watched as it slowly passed through the entrance of the Royal Judicial Chamber, passed the block where the Royal Judicial Court was located, and consciously pushed away all the street lamps and car wreckage along the way, making a tooth-aching sound of iron sheets rubbing against the road.
"That's why that street is so empty......" Lily felt like she had found the reason.
"But what is it doing with these streetlights and car wreckage?" Lily felt that she couldn't understand it, and had a strong urge to follow and see.
Since this monster isn't coming at them, it shouldn't be any danger to follow and see if there's any danger.
But she can't leave the rest of the team behind, she can ensure the safety of the team to the greatest extent in the team, if she wants to go, she must take the team with her, but that goal is too big, and Lily is afraid that it will be better to get out by herself when the time comes.
After a few seconds of reflection, Lily exhaled and decided not to take the risk, this time the most important thing was to find out the situation on the subway line and look for traces of John's team.

Liu Shiqin looked at the huge Ferris wheel stuck in the middle of the railway bridge in front of her, and looked at the partially damaged structure that had hit, and she felt as if her hopes had been dashed again.
Although she is a "chosen child", her physique is actually slightly stronger than that of ordinary children of the same age, but she is still very ordinary, and she is not confident that she can cross such a big ravine to the side of the railway bridge.
Liu Shiqin, who lost chocolate and blocked the road to hope, seriously doubted life.
