In the dark, smelly, disgusting mud, Lu Ban could feel that those turbid foreign creatures were trying to infiltrate him.

From the nose, mouth, eyes, ears, and every inch of pores, the silt tried its best to drill into his body, transforming Lu Ban's physiological structure and turning him into a half-fish, half-human monster.

Just as the silt was gradually eroding Lu Ban, green plants slowly grew inside Lu Ban's body, using the silt as nutrients to resist alienation.

In Lu Ban's mind, countless voices came through the mud.

"…I just want to be a human being, an ordinary human being…"

"...I wonder if Pisces will be happy if she marries him..."

"...I don't want to stay here. I don't want to become like you..."

"...I don't want to die yet. I still want to live. Yes, as long as I can live, I will do anything..."

"…Twisted wishes will inevitably lead to twisted results. It turns out that everything is true. It turns out that everything is destined…"

"…Poor child, I only had time to take one last look at him…"

“…Let it all be destroyed. Let everything be destroyed. Hahahaha…”

Countless voices, men and women, old and young, in different languages, intertwined and woven together. These words were like independent wills, gathering in this filthy mud, trying to get into Lu Ban's brain and turn Lu Ban's consciousness into a chaotic state.

From ancient times to the present, the consciousness of all those who died in this mud are now blended in it, and they constitute the will of this mud.

Countless wishes merged into everything will only end up twisting everything and bringing everything into destruction.

Mental pollution that far exceeds the limits of human endurance spreads in Lu Ban's brain.

Around his body, lush green vegetation blocked the silt, forming a cocoon-like object, but the silt still continued to flow in from the cracks.

Outside the mud, in the dilapidated Hai family mansion, Trist watched Lu Ban take the statue, and then saw him being swallowed by the mud.

The tall tower had turned into a monster made of mud. Countless tentacles made of mud spread from the monster's body. In the already blackened pool of water, the huge mud extended its dark hooves and slowly stood up.

It was like the giant beast that destroyed the city in ancient legends. Its majestic figure made it clear that it was an extraordinary creature that was superior to humans.

Drizzt felt his sanity was burning. In fact, ever since he saw the tower turned into mud, Drizzt had already suffered a shock to his sanity. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared to a certain extent, so he did not lose too much and went crazy temporarily.

But even so, Drizzt felt an instinctive shudder at the sight of the magnificent, inhuman, horrible creature.

He raised his revolver.

Then he pulled the trigger.

This is the first time Drizzt fires a gun in this mission.

This picture looks a bit ridiculous.

A tiny, insignificant mortal, shooting at a gigantic mythical creature that was the embodiment of a god.

Anyone who sees it will find it funny.

But Drizzt did it anyway.

He thought that he did not have as strong willpower as Lu Ban, and his fighting skills were only slightly better than others. He also did not have any amazing abilities to fight against ghosts or control supernatural powers.

He was able to survive in the Silence for so long, and even dared to challenge the difficulty of [Erosion], all thanks to this revolver.

【Simulated Kagerou】

This is the reward item that Trist received after completing his professional mission of [Detective].

As the name suggests, the effect of this revolver is to create a false sun.

Buzz——

A shock wave spread out from the muzzle of Drizzt's gun, and the boiling heat wave created a golden sun, even brighter than the pale sun.

The huge monster had not yet come into contact with the golden sun when it began to evaporate and dissolve. Countless wails rang out, and it seemed as if souls could be seen being separated from the mud.

The warm and bright sunshine illuminated the earth, bringing daylight to Kushui Town that had not been seen for perhaps hundreds of years.

The people outside Ku Shui Town were affected by the Black Queen Mother but were spared because they lived a little further away. The fishermen who could only hide at home when the zombies of the Hai family passed by, saw the bright sunshine outside the window and couldn't help but come out. They saw the bright sun rising above Ku Shui Town, which was a scene beyond mythology.

They prostrated themselves, knelt, and prayed, as if a new god was rising.

As for the silt, it was completely evaporated by the scorching sun, and even the souls were liberated.

The revolver in Drizzt's hand was so hot that it burned off a layer of skin on his palm. The blisters from the burns were hideous and painful, but Drizzt did not let go.

It was not until the sunlight disappeared that Trist felt the trembling and excruciating pain in his right hand.

Although he possesses the powerful firepower of [Syntax Kagerou], unfortunately, this ability of this revolver can only be used once in a mission, and after using it, [Syntax Kagerou] will be just an ordinary revolver for at least a week.

The cost is considerable.

But also for this reason, Trist's strategy for doing missions in the Quiet Place is very simple. He first stays hidden and conducts a steady investigation to find the mastermind or target behind the scenes, and finally gathers all the guys who need to be dealt with together, and finds ways to give them a good beating.

This is how Drizzt solved the problem in the Kingdom of Darkness when facing the monsters that attacked from the Black Forest.

Originally, before embarking on this mission, Trist's plan was to attend the wedding as planned, and then if anything unexpected happened at the wedding, he would just escape with one strike. Anyway, they were all gone, so there shouldn't be any monsters left.

It’s a pity that I encountered Lu Ban during this mission, which triggered a lot of strange things.

"Should he still be alive?"

Trist walked towards the center of the explosion of the [Simulated Sunfire].

This thing is very lethal to evil things, but not to humans. Moreover, Trist felt that with Lu Ban's tenacious vitality, he could easily take two hits head-on.

The sunlight evaporated even the stench of metal, and Drizzt saw that at the very center of the explosion, there was a gray-green cocoon.

He squatted down and poked the callus with his good left hand.

The gray grass and trees suddenly withered and turned into ashes.

Lu Ban was curled up in it, holding a white jade statue in his hands.

"Still a step too late?"

Looking at Lu Ban with his eyes closed, Trist squatted down, thinking that he had died.

"What a shame, you're a good person and I'll remember you."

He originally wanted to take the statue from Lu Ban's hand, but suddenly he found that Lu Ban had opened his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Ban asked, sat up and hugged the statue tightly.

"…I'm glad you're okay."

Trist was speechless.

At the same time, in Lu Ban's vision, the fallen ashes of the grass and trees twisted into indifferent and cold system text.

[Survive until the end of the wedding 1/1]
