068. Who is watching you

"Let's sleep together tonight."

Drizzt was stunned when he heard what Lu Trip said.

In the upper class society of the abandoned capital, there are indeed some rich people who have some ulterior hobbies, including fencing with those handsome teenagers.

As a serious detective, Drizzt also undertook similar commissioned investigations in the abandoned city. Of course, he helped rich wives collect evidence of their husbands' cheating.

Could it be that Lu Jian also has that interest?

It is said that the stronger the muscular man is, the more he likes 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?"

"The two of us sleep together. If anything happens at night, we can take care of you."

Lu Jian spoke righteously.

The quilt has been placed beside Drizzt's bed.

"Besides, don't you think it's strange? We were invited to the wedding, but we were not allowed to enter the house. The Hai family's mansion is so spacious, and there must be guest rooms. It's too much!"

Lu Kan seemed to be accusing his long-time friend of not inviting him immediately when they got married, with a tone of voice that sounded like a deep-seated harem.

"So, it's true..."

Drizzt touched his chin.

"No, then you don't need to sleep in the same bed with me?"

He reacted.

"What if a female ghost climbs into your bed while you are sleeping and you can't control it?"

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

"???"

Drizzt leaned against the wall.

"What are you doing taking off your clothes?"

He subconsciously took out the gun under the pillow.

"Are you still wearing your coat when sleeping? It's okay. Don't worry, this bed is big enough. If you squeeze it in, it won't be a problem for two people to lie down all night."

Lu Tan explained seriously.

"There's something wrong with you."

Drizzt firmly refused.

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

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

Drizzt saw Lu Trip put the crowbar aside and huddled under the quilt.

After waiting for a while, Drizzt dared to lie down after seeing that Lu Tiao seemed to have fallen asleep.

Perhaps it was the overnight drive, or perhaps the terrifying things he experienced that consumed too much energy, Drizzt soon became drowsy and was about to fall asleep.

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

He immediately opened his eyes and picked up the revolver under the pillow.

Before the muzzle of the gun had time to change direction, he saw Lu Tiao shaking himself.

"......What's wrong?"

Drizzt suddenly felt helpless.

"I just thought of a question."

Lu Tan said very seriously.

"We came to Dry Water Town from the fog. If we didn't have those experiences, we might have to delay it for a while, or wait until the morning to arrive. Why would the Hai family arrange for someone to receive us late at night?"

"..."

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

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

Lu Tan nodded and said immediately.

"When we arrived at Qushui Town, only two militiamen were seen, and we didn't meet anyone else on the way. Those two people had been keeping vigil and did not leave to report, so no one should have informed the Hai family that we had arrived."

But in fact, Lu Tan and Drizzt had just arrived here, and before they had walked a few steps, they met the servant of the Hai family.

"He can't stay awake every day and just wait at the gate to greet guests, so I think he should know that we are coming and have calculated the time."

Lu Tiao expressed his guess.

"But how did they know...and no one was watching us...wait, are you talking about those monsters?"

Drizzt felt a chill on his back.

Those wandering in the fog had no heartbeats, just like people with protruding eyes. They were the only ones who witnessed Lu Jian and Drizzt walking out of the fog.

There were also those skinny villagers who also saw the whereabouts of the carriage.

If it was these things that monitored the two people and informed the Hai family of their arrival...

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

It’s not like Drizzt has never been on erosion-difficulty missions. There are always many changes in these missions. Now he even suspects that the groom and bride he will see at the wedding tomorrow may have protruding eyes like fish.

It's like a human thing.

"I'm going to sleep first."

Lu Tan said and retreated into the quilt again.

"??"

Drizzt looked at Landstuck in disbelief.

This person just said something out of nowhere, and then went back to minding his own business?

Now that I can't sleep, what is he trying to do?

Drizzt put down his gun and lay back.

Tossing and turning, his mind kept replaying the strange-looking people he saw in the fog and the terrifying fish-headed stone statues. When he really fell asleep and was about to close his eyes, it was already dark.

Drizzt felt something sound in his ears.

Ding-ding-ding-ding——

Dangdangdang——

So noisy...

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

He saw Lu Tan sitting at the table. There were many bowls on the table, which seemed to be breakfast.

"Are you awake? Free breakfast is provided here, and the seafood porridge tastes very good!"

Lu Tan said excitedly.

"...You get up early in the morning just to eat free breakfast?"

Drizzt yawned and got up.

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

Taking the bowl, Drizzt took a bite while half asleep. The mild porridge with the sweet taste of seafood made him feel slightly relieved, and his brain's thinking gradually recovered.

He looked at Lu Jian.

This man is so energetic. Did he fall asleep without warning last night?

No, wait a minute.

Drizzt seemed to understand something.

"You said those words to me in the middle of the night last night just to keep me awake and keep you awake?"

he blurted out.

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

Lu Tan replied matter-of-factly and added another sentence.

"what happened?"

Drizzt suddenly stopped eating the seafood porridge.

Did something unexpected happen?

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

This town feels increasingly dangerous!!!

Looking at Drizzt, who looked solemn, Lu Tiao smiled, picked up a crab, and skillfully opened it.

"Because they said the wedding is the day after tomorrow."

"ah?"

The movements of Drizzt's hands stopped.

"The wedding is the day after tomorrow. We actually arrived early. Perhaps according to the conventional route, even if we are trapped by the fog, we can just stay where we are and wait until dawn when the fog dissipates, and we can arrive at Hongshui Town."

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