"Why is there such a conclusion?" Dunn asked Lily in confusion.

Lily immediately recounted what Camille had seen during John's screening team and her judgment that the London Eye would probably collapse in 8-9 years.

Dunn's expression immediately became unbearable. He also thought of the terrible conclusion that Lily and Camille would discuss in the station.

He swallowed hard, took out his water bottle and took a sip, trying to suppress the turbulent conclusion that Lily had brought to him.

Lily glanced at John and said in a deep voice:

"It's all just speculation right now, so let's just treat it as a hypothesis. Let's first consider where to go after we get to Embankment Station."

"Okay." Dunn took a deep breath and did not continue speaking.

Aiden and Sandra didn't look good either. Of course, they also thought about the meaning behind Lily's terrible conclusion.

After a while of discussion, everyone decided to walk from the ground to Piccadilly Circus Station.

If you want to walk directly from Embankment Station to Piccadilly Circus Station, if you don't take the railway, you need to pass by the National Gallery of the British Empire from the ground.

Sure enough, when everyone moved to the main square of the National Gallery, Stephenson couldn't walk. He expressed his wish to go in and have a look, but was unanimously rejected by everyone else in the team. Time was tight and there was really no way. Let him play and visit during his free time.

It was Camille who clamped Stephenson under his majestic biceps before taking him away.

It is worth mentioning that the buildings in the British Empire that Lily and the others saw along the way were all quite classical in aesthetics. In other words, their designers all had something special.

Compared to the area where the orphanage is located, although the area where Lily and the others are now located has suffered more serious damage from the passage of time, except for the slight peeling of the outer skin of the walls, the integrity of the building has been greatly improved. Well preserved, the entire street can be vaguely seen. Lily knew that if the fog had not appeared, then these streets must have been a spectacular sight with busy traffic.

"There are so many buildings with the royal prefix..." Sandra sighed while observing. He tried hard to get out of the chilling feeling on his back, so he had nothing to say. said.

"This can be considered as belonging to the City of London, or we..."

"Roar!!!" A strange roar that was completely unlike an ordinary creature interrupted Dunn's words and made him tremble in fear.

This roar made everyone freeze in place as if they were playing with 123 wooden figures.

"Gudu..." Camille could hear Stephenson swallowing next to her.

"Sister Lily, we..." Sandra asked in a low voice.

"The sound sounds like it is at least 200 meters away. Our line of sight is restricted and there is no way to grasp the information specifically. My suggestion is to quickly distance ourselves or find a suitable building to hide and observe the situation." Lily quickly gave two suggestions.

"This roar is in the northeast. If we want to distance ourselves, we can't continue going north. We need to go southwest. This is completely opposite to the direction we want to go..." Dunn made a simple judgment.

"Well..." Stephenson suddenly spoke weakly.

Camille couldn't help but look at him, what does this boy want to do? You don't need to go to the bathroom at this time, do you?

Seeing everyone watching, Stephenson tried to express his suggestion: "How about we go to the National Gallery?"

"You haven't given up yet?" Sang Zhuo shook his head helplessly.

"No, Stephenson seems to have made a good suggestion. Due to its nature, the selection and use of materials at the beginning of the construction of the National Gallery were very particular. In other words, it is very strong." Dunn lowered his voice and quickly explained.

Finally, everyone looked at Lily.

"Okay, let's go to the art museum. We can't deviate too far from the original route, otherwise we will be in vain this time." Lily didn't dwell on it any more. Since Aiden didn't object to Dunn, that should be the case, so go to the country The choice of art museum is feasible.

Suddenly, all the hairs on Lily's body stood up. Resisting the urge to look around, she lowered her voice and said to everyone:

"Something is looking at me, or looking at us."

Her passive skill, Peeping Perception Alert, is activated, which means that within 50 meters, there are unknown intelligent creatures staring at Lily and the people of the search and rescue team. This also means that, Not all intelligent creatures have a field of vision limited to 24 meters, some creatures can see further.

Everyone who heard Lily's words hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to move or not, and whether moving would irritate the one who was peeping at everyone.

But she saw Lily suddenly stretched out her right hand, pointed her index finger at herself, made a hook again, and said softly: "Blurred and clear are synonyms." Finally, she twisted her wrist and spread her hand towards herself. Because it was a backhand, it was easier to do. A little awkward.

"That thing is directly north of us." Lily said suddenly.

"Ah?" Sang Zhuo almost didn't react. Why did Sister Lili suddenly know the other party's location?

"Walk!"

Aiden made a quick decision and rushed out. Although he didn't understand what Lily was doing, now that he knew the location of the unknown thing, he could try to move it.

Lily breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed the others. Is this really possible?

It turns out that she used the gloves as her own ability, distorting an established fact and turning her own fuzzy perception into "fuzzy (clear) perception". She just wanted to give it a try. After all, it didn't work. , the situation will not be worse.

As Lily and the others moved, Lily discovered that the being that was spying on them seemed to be constantly adjusting its position, because the feeling of being spied on was intermittent.

The maximum observation range of the other party is probably only 50-60 meters. Lily made a guess. She didn't have time to look carefully, otherwise she might be able to figure out what was looking at them.

With the constant peeping above their heads, Lily and everyone soon arrived at the space built by the huge pillars of the National Gallery, and found the front door. Camille quickly stepped forward and tried to open the door, while the others looked around. and guard the area when coming from behind.

"The door is locked." Camille was about to break open the door violently.

"Wait a moment."

Lily stepped forward quickly, pulled out a piece of wire from her hair, squatted down, put the wire into the keyhole and turned it, then pulled the wire out, pinched it into a shape, and stuffed it in. After a few seconds, she heard a click. , the lock is opened.

Dunn's eyes widened again.

Everyone had the same reaction. Isn't Lily...too skillful?

The corners of his mouth twitched again, and Dunn decided to look back and see if he could ask Lily to teach him a few tricks. This lady, who appeared to be virtuous and agile, had the high-end professional thief skills of elegantly flipping a dagger between her palms and opening a lock in three seconds (again) Thanks to Ander for his "popular science"), they are all the ones I dream of, which is so enviable.

When Lily finally entered the art gallery with Aiden, the feeling of being spied on disappeared, and Lily finally relaxed. Although this spying warning skill is useful, it... is harmful to the spirit. The burden was also a bit heavy, and the discomfort like a ray on her back kept irritating Lily's nerves, making her dare not relax for a moment.

But she immediately felt everyone's eyes on her.

Lily lowered her head in shame.

"We have to find some windows facing the northeast, east and north, or go to the roof of the building to see if there is a chance to figure out the source of the roar and peek into our existence." Dunn immediately suggested , and helped Lily by the way.
