Hearing Lu Ban's words, Trist was confused.

Real world, is this a cryptic statement?

Isn't this reality?

This man looks like just an ordinary citizen with good looks. How could he know some clues that only the police know?

He looked normal, and didn't look like he was drunk or taking drugs.

Moreover, I came here after receiving a report of a crime. This man knew to go to the police station to pass on the clues instead of directly confessing over the phone. He just wanted to see me.

Combining this information, Trist quickly formed a profile of the man in front of him.

A person who is quite logical, full of action, has seen big situations and can deal with them with ease. However, under this rational appearance, there are some incomprehensible parts in his words, just like an extremely smart and rational person, but believes in some abnormal and bizarre things, and completes them with his own logic.

Trist had seen some cases before. In foreign countries, some extreme perverted killers had similar characteristics. In real life, they might be elite professions such as lawyers and doctors, but they had some dark and perverted desires. They committed crimes through clever means and even provoked the police.

Now, Lu Ban has a lot of information that only the police or the criminals know. He came to the police station and said that he had clues. He even teased Trist himself and said some inexplicable words.

This person has a big problem!

Drizzt's eyes became sharp. He was silent for a moment, then noticed that both colleagues were looking at him, and he spoke.

"I don't think we've met before. Maybe you've seen my report on TV, but I definitely don't know you."

Trist had been interviewed by a TV station because he had solved a major case. He was quite young at that time and had gained a lot of female fans.

“Have you ever been on TV?”

Lu Ban asked back. Based on this recollection, he quickly remembered that he had indeed seen the young Trist's face on TV. At that time, he was still a little shy, not as unshaven and unkempt as he is now.

These memories gradually become clearer, as if they were taken out of a box.

Lu Ban found it very strange, but at the same time he also had a guess that perhaps these memories were infused and fabricated into his brain when he met Trist.

"These are all mistakes I made when I was young..."

Drizzt looked at the young man strangely.

"Oh, that's okay. We were familiar with each other before. I couldn't find your location in this world at first, but I didn't expect to find it without any effort."

Lu Ban did not ask any further questions, but said this.

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

Drizzt frowned.

"Of course, in the real world, uh, you are not from the real world either. You live in a world called Wasted City, where you are a detective and a chosen one like me. Later, we met during a mission in the Kingdom of Night and were going to attend a wedding..."

Lu Ban spoke seriously. As he spoke, the expressions of the three policemen became more and more strange.

Not to mention Trist, the corners of He Youwu and Chen Danshen's mouths twitched, and they looked like they were trying hard to hold back their laughter.

When Lu Ban came to an end, Trist noticed his colleague's expression and cleared his throat.

"What are you two doing?"

"No, that's not it, Lao Cui, we have received professional training."

He Youwu couldn't help laughing.

After all, the Trist in Lu Ban's mouth was somewhat similar to the old Trist they were familiar with, but also somewhat different. Those bizarre and outrageous experiences were really beyond their understanding of the advanced version, which was beyond their ability to understand.

Several people were in the Criminal Investigation Department and had seen all kinds of vicious criminals, but they had never seen someone like Lu Ban who looked serious but said strange things.

"Go away."

Trist asked the two to take notes on the side, and he looked at Lu Ban.

"What you just said, is it from a novel?"

"No, this is really happening. It's better to say that this is an illusion."

Lu Ban refused to give in.

"Are you going to tell me next that August is the peak period of the cycle and you are in the cycle?"

Drizzt asked.

“Although August is indeed the peak period of the cycle, we are not in the cycle.”

Lu Ban answered seriously.

"All of this is an illusion. In fact, even you are fake. The real Drizzt has already sacrificed himself to seal the Old One under Jiangcheng Mountain. I told you this just to see how the fake illusion would react when it learns of this."

"What do you want to do?"

Drizzt frowned.

"Forget it, let's just look at the case first."

Lu Ban knew very well that just as he did not admit that this was the real world, Tristana in this world would certainly not think that Lu Ban’s world was the real world.

A person's cognition comes from his experience. For Lao Cui in this world, his past memories are absolutely real. No matter whether this is a virtual fantasy or some seemingly foreign land, the Trist here is the Lao Cui he thinks he is.

"First of all, this case should be a serial murder case. The police retrieved the surveillance footage from the scene, but did not find any suspicious people. Moreover, the modus operandi was special and similar to some previous cases, but with a longer interval."

Lu Ban didn't hesitate, but said.

"Secondly, I think this is a case of dismemberment. The deceased is most likely someone who came to see the house, or someone who rented the house for a day. You can investigate whether there have been similar cases in the houses nearby before."

After hearing Lu Ban's words, He Youwu and Chen Danshen looked at each other, took out their mobile phones and sent messages to their colleagues in the bureau to confirm.

They only have information about recent cases, and as for cases that happened in this place many years ago, they have not yet been investigated.

After all, many homicides have actually occurred. It is not uncommon for cases to occur in the same place several years apart. The people involved are not the same group, so it is difficult to link them together.

Soon, He Youwu received the message. He showed his colleague's message to Trist. Trist's eyes moved, and he looked up at Lu Ban from the mobile phone screen.

"What's the basis for what you said? Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear it from others?"

"It seems I was right."

Lu Ban said naturally.

"Because I have seen criminals in the real world."

"So you're saying you're still in the loop?"

Trist felt like Lu Ban was playing a trick on him.

"It's not a loop, it's the real world."

Lu Ban repeated it.

"Everything here is an illusion. It is just a dream set up by the Dark Man to trap me here for some purpose. However, the illusion is based on the real world. This serial murder case has also happened in the real world. I also participated in the investigation at that time, so I know the details."

When Trist heard Lu Ban's words, he felt a pain in his temple.

He looked at the information handed over by Chen Danshen again, and suddenly he felt enlightened, so he asked.

"…You just got out of a mental hospital?"

"That's right."

Lu Ban spoke the truth.
