After hearing what Trist said, Lu Ban was surprised, but also felt that it was as he expected.

Because the creator of this world, or the [Man of Darkness] wants Lu Ban to be trapped here forever, so the unfortunate deaths of the people around him are definitely something Lu Ban does not want to see. If it is just one person, then it can be said to be a pity.

If everyone died, then the meaning of Lu Ban's existence in this world would be completely lost, because even here is despair and sadness, and there is absolutely no point for Lu Ban to stay here. It is obvious that the [Man of Darkness] did not put Lu Ban here because he wanted to see this kind of plot.

So, as Trist said, only when everyone around Lu Ban died, he would have the possibility to look back to the past and find an opportunity to leave.

However, in normal daily life, neither Trist nor Sia would die accidentally, so it would not be so easy for Lu Ban to get behind the scenes.

But now, on this island, Lu Ban and his team encountered the biggest crisis.

Not all, but at least most of the companions might die in the attack of this monster.

so……

Lu Ban came back to his senses.

"Are these monsters the power of outsiders?"

Just like Lu Ban originally imagined, if he wanted to escape from this world, he had to rely on the power of other indescribable existences.

And obviously, the [Man of Darkness] will not easily destroy the environment around Lu Ban.

Then, all this could only be the work of some Old Ones who had noticed this place.

Even, harming Trist was the will of that great being.

Because even if Lu Ban was told that he could return to reality after everyone around him died, he might not necessarily be able to kill decisively.

"You can think of it this way. I was attacked by those monsters and suffered serious injuries, but the one who arranged all this did not want me to leave, so he rescued me. At that moment, I also regained all my memories, so I knew that as long as you can meet the conditions, you can completely escape from this world."

Drizzt's voice became very soft, as if he was about to use up all his strength, and every word he said seemed to be his last words left in the world.

"In fact, that one left me a message as well."

He was silent for a while, then spoke again.

"As long as you stay here, I can also have a long life. My life will not end here, and I can even have a happy ending."

"I might meet a lady, have a simple but romantic love, start a family, continue to fight criminals with newcomers in the police station, worry about food, clothing, housing and children's education, and after retirement, drink tea and chat with old friends with some old illnesses from work, and finally leave under the care of children."

As Drizzt spoke, he coughed up a pool of black blood, his internal organs were gradually failing, and his face was pale.

It was very dark outside, even the sea was hard to see. In the pitch-black darkness, it seemed as if an evil god from eternity was whispering.

“I don’t want to die.”

Trist looked at Lu Ban.

Lu Ban knew it very well.

No one can really let it go.

Even a chosen one like Tristram, even if he chose such a fate in the real world.

But no one is truly not afraid of death.

Even if at that time, under such circumstances, Trist made such a choice, would he choose the same thing again if it happened again?

In many cases, people make choices out of necessity.

The firefighters who rushed into the fire to save the children, the soldiers who built a human wall in the flood, the police who fought against the vicious criminals, many people sacrificed themselves and became heroes in irreversible situations.

Chosen ones like Tristram and Shia were simply pushed to that position step by step by fate.

They were not born to be such great beings; they just chose their own ending between their lingering life and inevitable death.

But now, if Trist, who has all his memories, is given another chance, will he really accept that fate?

"Even if I know all this, it is all within His calculations. He can see through people's hearts. He knows that even if I know this, He will not let you leave easily. It is better to say that I, who know the truth, may be able to help you stay here."

Trist said that the car was bumping and his body was shaking, but he was becoming more and more sluggish, like a clockwork doll that had lost its power and could collapse to the ground at any time.

"But now that things have come to this, I have no choice, haha."

He suddenly laughed out loud, followed by a series of coughs, which made those who heard it sad.

"Hold on, Uncle Cui."

Xia heard a cough, she looked back, then turned back. They were very close to the dock. They could find a ship and use the positioning system to leave the island and go to other nearby islands, or at least avoid the attacks of those monsters at sea.

Trist glanced at Xia, then turned back to look at Lu Ban.

"I know that if I follow my true thoughts, I will never let you leave here, so I chose to stay and help you resist these monsters. If I die in the inevitable danger, then I will have no regrets."

He grabbed Lu Ban's hand. Trist's hand had become cold, just like the night.

"I know very well that you will not kill me or us in order to return to reality. Therefore, you should also understand the choice I made after knowing all this. If I were trapped in the illusory world and you were in my position, you would make the same choice. I am sure of that."

Drizzt said seriously, the strength in his hands fading, almost like a baby.

"It doesn't matter. I just returned to my original state. I've been dead for a long time. But no matter what, being able to give me such a chance and say these words to you can be considered a good deed done by that guy."

Lu Ban felt that Trist's hand suddenly exerted force.

It was as if he had traveled through time and returned to the time when he was most vigorous and high-spirited. Trist used all his strength to tightly grasp Lu Ban's hand.

The pain of death spread across his face. One could see that Trist's pupils gradually expanded and then blurred. At the moment of death, he would experience tremendous pain, far beyond anything else.

"Remember us, Lu Ban."

Trist said in a hoarse voice, he stared at Lu Ban intently, as if he wanted to engrave Lu Ban's figure into his eyes.

"No matter what the cost, you must save this world."

His face suddenly twisted, and at this moment, all his cells began to fail, and his consciousness was like a candle in the wind, which would be extinguished after only a little bit was left.

"Mother."

The unclear sounds coming out of Drizzt's mouth represented his last bit of consciousness. Like a newborn baby, Drizzt, in his last moments, called out the same words he uttered when he was born.

Then, the tiny light disappeared from Drizzt's pupils.
