"Let's sleep together tonight."

Hearing Lu Ban's words, Trist was stunned.

In the upper class of the abandoned city, some rich people do have some hidden hobbies, including fencing with those handsome young men.

As a serious detective, Trist had also taken on similar commissioned investigations in the Wasted City, of course, to help those rich wives collect evidence of their husbands' infidelity.

Could it be that Lu Ban also has that kind of interest?

It is said that the stronger the muscles, the more they like these, and some even prefer to be the one lying down.

No way?

Drizzt immediately became alert.

"Can't you sleep in your own room?"

"We two sleep together, so we can take care of each other if anything happens at night."

Lu Ban spoke righteously.

The quilt had been placed next to Drizzt's bed.

"Besides, don't you think it's strange that they invited us to the wedding but didn't let us into the house? The Hai family's house is so spacious, there must be guest rooms. This is too much!"

Lu Ban spoke with the tone of a resentful woman, as if she was complaining that her good friend of many years did not invite her first when she got married.

"So, it is true..."

Drizzt stroked his chin.

"No, then there's no need for you to sleep in the same bed with me, right?"

He reacted.

"What if a female ghost climbs onto your bed while you're asleep and you can't control yourself?"

Lu Ban spread out the quilt and prepared to take off his clothes.

"???"

Drizzt leaned against the corner.

"What are you taking your clothes off for?"

He subconsciously took out the gun from under the pillow.

"Are you still wearing your coat when you sleep? Don't worry, this bed is big enough. If we squeeze together, two people can sleep on it all night."

Lu Ban explained seriously.

"There's something wrong with you."

Drizzt firmly refused.

"...Okay, then I'll sleep on the bench outside."

Lu Ban picked up the quilt and spread it on the chair.

Trist saw Lu Ban put the crowbar aside and curled up under the quilt.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Lu Ban seemed to have fallen asleep, Trist dared to lie down.

Perhaps it was because of the all-night drive, or perhaps it was because the terrifying things he experienced had consumed too much of his energy, but Trist soon became drowsy and was about to fall asleep.

Just as his consciousness was about to fade away, Drizzt felt a hand suddenly grabbing his quilt.

He immediately opened his eyes and grabbed the revolver under his pillow.

Before the gun could change direction, he saw Lu Ban was shaking himself.

"……What's wrong?"

Trist suddenly felt helpless.

"I just thought of a question."

Lu Ban said this very seriously.

"We came to Kushui Town from the fog. If we hadn't experienced that, we might have been delayed for a while or waited until the morning to arrive. Why would the Hai family arrange for someone to receive us so late at night?"

“…”

Drizzt, who was still a little sleepy, woke up immediately.

"You mean, they know we're here?"

Lu Ban nodded and then said.

"When we arrived at Ku Shui Town, we were only seen by two militiamen. We didn't meet anyone else along the way. Those two were on guard the whole time and didn't leave to report. So no one should have informed the Hai family that we were here."

But in fact, Lu Ban and Trist had just arrived here and had not taken a few steps when they met the servant of the Hai family.

"He can't stay up all day waiting at the gate to greet guests, so I think he must have known we were coming and calculated the time."

Lu Ban expressed his guess.

"But how did they know... No one is watching us... Wait, you mean those monsters?"

Drizzt felt a chill on his back.

Those wandering in the fog had no heartbeats, like people with bulging eyes. They were the only ones who witnessed Lu Ban and Trist walk out of the fog.

And those skinny villagers also saw the whereabouts of the carriage.

If these things were monitoring the two people and informed the Hai family of their arrival...

"This wedding doesn't look peaceful..."

It's not like Trist had never taken on missions of erosion difficulty before. There were always a lot of unexpected events in these missions. He even suspected that the bride and groom he would see at the wedding tomorrow might be the creature with bulging eyes that looked like a fish yet also a human.

"I'm going to sleep first."

Lu Ban said this and shrank back into the quilt.

"???"

Trist looked at Lu Ban in disbelief.

This person just suddenly said this and then lay back down on his own?

Now he can't sleep, what does he want?

Drizzt dropped his gun and lay back down.

As he tossed and turned, his mind kept replaying the strange-looking people he saw in the fog and the terrifying fish-headed stone statue. By the time he finally felt sleepy and was about to close his eyes, daybreak had already begun.

Drizzt felt a sound in his ear.

Ding ding dong dong——

Dangdangdang——

So noisy...

Drizzt opened his eyes, he was a little dazed and didn't know how long he had slept.

He saw Lu Ban sitting at the table with many bowls on it, which seemed to be breakfast.

"Are you awake? Breakfast is free here, and the seafood porridge tastes great!"

Lu Ban said excitedly.

"…You got up so early in the morning just to have a free breakfast?"

Drizzt yawned and got up.

He saw a big bowl of porridge on the table. The porridge contained various fish and shrimps. In addition, there were fried fish, steamed crabs, etc. It was very rich.

Taking the bowl, Trist took a bite in a half-asleep state. The mild porridge with the sweet taste of seafood made him feel a little relieved, and his brain's thinking gradually recovered.

He looked at Lu Ban.

This person is so energetic. Did he sleep without any precautions last night?

No, wait a minute.

Drizzt seemed to understand something.

"You came to me and said those things in the middle of last night, just to keep me awake and keep vigil for you?"

He blurted out.

"How is that possible? By the way, I asked around when I went downstairs to get breakfast just now. We may not be able to attend the wedding today."

Lu Ban answered as a matter of course and added another sentence.

"what happened?"

Trist's hand that was eating seafood porridge suddenly stopped.

Did something unexpected happen?

The woman in red wedding dress I met last night, is she the bride?

This town feels more and more dangerous!!!

Looking at the solemn expression of Trist, Lu Ban smiled, picked up a crab and skillfully took it apart.

"Because they said the wedding is tomorrow."

"ah?"

Drizzt stopped moving his hands.

"The wedding is tomorrow. We are actually early. Perhaps if we follow the conventional route, even if we are trapped by the fog, as long as we stay where we are patiently and wait until the fog dissipates at dawn, we can reach Kushui Town."

With a click, Lu Ban opened the crab's shell.
