Chapter 60: 060. The ship sank_1

After cleaning up, Lu Ban returned to his computer.

He took out his notebook and pen and summarized the information he had just acquired.

“The Night Country’s Gray Tower has mages, which should be the transcendents of this foreign domain. So, does this mean that the combat power of this domain will be higher than that of the Abandoned Capital?”

“The Qi Lang Dance seems to be a ritualistic ceremony dance. Combined with the Gray Tower’s mages, it might be the work of transcendents. Hmm, the Hai Family, Dried Water Town, seems like the information is related to the mission.”

“Walking fish? I’ve even seen flying fish, so walking ones shouldn’t be too surprising.”

“Eternal Resting Place, Supreme Holy Mother—it sounds like some sort of ominous religious organization… Could it be related to the Black Queen Mother?”

“The voices in the mansion, the humans of the Black Forest, it’s reasonable for such creatures to appear on the edge of the Black Forest.”

“If I choose this mission, I might encounter people and monsters with extraordinary powers, along with an evil religious organization. This sounds dangerous!”

He concluded.

“‘Madman’s Knowledge’ might provide knowledge based on my next mission. In that case, my next four draws should enable me to get information about the other two missions. After comprehensive consideration, I can make a choice.”

Speaking to himself, Lu Ban recalled his experience in the bathroom just now.

“It seems the more specific and detailed the knowledge, the greater the harm it might cause me. If it weren’t for my ability to perform photosynthesis, I probably would have died in the bathroom just now.”

“If the police found me dead in the bathroom with the water off and naked, I’d probably die a social death too.”

Lu Ban suddenly became a bit worried.

“So, I’ll draw one more time tomorrow. If I survive, I’ll compare the information from both sides to choose a mission. If I die, then I won’t have to worry anymore.”

He made up his mind.

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Ban didn’t eat breakfast but went straight to the ‘Silent Department Store’ for a single draw.

By noon, Lu Ban had crawled out of the bathroom.

The vegetation on his body had withered, and there was hardly an inch of unblemished skin left; his face was pale, and even the Lu Ban in the mirror looked more like a normal person than he did.

“That was pretty tough.”

Lu Ban put on his pants, remained shirtless, and went out to the balcony.

He desperately needed sunlight for photosynthesis to heal his body.

Sitting in the chair, basking in the sun, Lu Ban felt very uncomfortable.

“That’s cheating!”

The reaction to ‘Madman’s Knowledge’ wasn’t the problem; after all, Lu Ban hadn’t died.

The main issue was that the knowledge he drew was almost identical to yesterday’s!

What kind of a trick was this? Drawing a duplicate character in a single draw?

Of course, there were some differences in the specifics.

“At least now I know that the wedding involves the people of the Hai Family, who seem to have some connections with the Gray Tower.”

“The Hai Family moved to Dried Water Town seventy years ago. The town, close to the sea, depends on fishing to make a living and relies on the Hai Family’s Qi Lang Dance to attract fish, yielding a rich harvest.”

“However, the Hai Family has become very reclusive in the past twenty years, seldom interacting with the people of the town. It was also around that time that strange sounds were heard coming from the mansion of the Hai Family, and people witnessed walking fish appearing on the beach.”

“The Hai Family’s son is just twenty this year. He seems normal enough and has taken a fancy to a girl from the town, preparing to marry her. They are the couple in this wedding.”

“Dried Water Town is relatively backward, with hardly any influence from the Gray Tower, and the Black Forest in which it’s situated is safer. There hasn’t been a significant monster outbreak in a hundred years, so it seems the monsters are not the main antagonists of the mission.”

“More importantly, it looks like the Supreme Holy Mother is indeed the Black Queen Mother. In this mission, perhaps I can directly obtain the ‘The Merciful Statue of the Black Queen Mother’.”

Having garnered some indirect information, Lu Ban now knew more about the mission in the Night Country.

“Why not just choose the first mission? Attending a wedding can’t be dangerous, and I’ll get to partake in the banquet without giving a wedding gift—eating my fill would be a profit!”

He thought to himself while soaking up the sun.

At that moment, Lu Ban heard a knock at the door.

He went to the door and took a quick glance through the peephole without drawing attention.

It was those two police officers from last time.

Lu Ban opened the door.

“May I help you with something?”

The two officers clearly were cautious when Lu Ban opened the door, instinctively stepping back half a step and reaching for the batons at their waists.

“It’s like this, we’ve received a complaint from the neighbors, saying that you’ve been exposing yourself on the balcony without any clothes on.”

Police officer He Youwu looked Lu Ban up and down, from his bare, powerful-looking arms to his six-pack abs and Adonis belt.

His eyes could hardly move away.

“Uh, sorry, I’ll pay more attention next time.”

Lu Ban thought about it, he hadn’t worn clothes in order to sunbathe more, which, in the eyes of others, indeed seemed a bit indecent.

After all, he was a big UP host with over a hundred thousand followers, it wouldn’t be appropriate if someone took a photo and uploaded it online.

“Recently, there have been bad people lurking around the community, have you encountered anything?”

The other police officer, Chen Danshen, asked and, with Lu Ban’s consent, walked into his room.

After a quick look around, He Youwu arrived at the bathroom door and glanced inside.

Then, he saw on Lu Ban’s bathroom wall, the floor, and the drain, what appeared to be lots of dark red liquid that had already congealed.

This was blood!

He Youwu became rapidly alert.

“What’s wrong?”

A sudden inquiry came from behind, startling He Youwu.

“Your, your bathroom there is…”

He took a half step back and pointed to Lu Ban’s bathroom, which was still a mess, full of bloodstains.

“Oh, I had a bit of a nosebleed earlier, and I haven’t had a chance to clean it up yet.”

Lu Ban certainly couldn’t tell the police officer that he had bled all over the place just from picking merchandise.

“A nosebleed?”

He Youwu looked at Lu Ban skeptically.

At this point, Chen Danshen came out of Lu Ban’s bedroom and shook his head at He Youwu, indicating that he hadn’t discovered anything unusual.

He also saw the messy bathroom.

“…”

Chen Danshen said nothing, only signaling his partner to head back to the door.

“If you have any problems, you can come to us, and we’ll help you.”

After leaving Lu Ban’s room, the two officers were silent, not speaking until they took the elevator downstairs, got back into the police car, rolled up the windows, locked the doors, and ensured that there was no one else around before they let out a heavy sigh.

“Definitely something wrong!”

“With that amount of bleeding, a normal person would already be at death’s door, it couldn’t just be a nosebleed!”

“There is a faint smell of blood in his room, this isn’t something that a common wound would cause, at least in the past two days, there’s been a large amount of blood in his room!”

“Did he kill someone and then handle the body in the bathroom?”

“That much blood, could it be dismemberment, treated like wet garbage and thrown out?”

“Lately there have been no reports of missing persons in Jiangcheng, could it be targeting transients?”

The two officers analyzed Lu Ban’s situation, sweat gathering on their foreheads.

Thump thump thump—

Just then, He Youwu, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, suddenly heard someone knocking on the car window glass beside him, he turned his head and saw that it was Lu Ban!

Rolling down the window, He Youwu squeezed out a smile and asked.

“Is there anything else?”

He also checked his gear to make sure he hadn’t left his hat or baton behind.

“It’s like this, officer, I’m about to head to Jiangcheng Zoo, could you give me a ride there?”

Lu Ban put on a warm smile, bright and sunny.
