As the scenes continued to change, Drizzt originally thought that the dream was over, but when he opened his eyes, it seemed that was not the case.
He saw that he was lying on the bed, with his clothes intact and covered with a thin blanket. Sitting at the table next to him was a handsome young man.
The man seemed to be dealing with documents, looking like he was busy with business.
Drizzt quickly recognized the man as Stone.
After thinking for a moment, he came to the conclusion that this was Liz's perspective.
I'm afraid the monster fused with Liz and absorbed Liz's consciousness and saw her memories.
"Are you awake?"
Stone glanced at Drizzt. His tone was relaxed and gentle, not as restrained and calculating as he usually saw.
"This wine is very strong. You poured it down after only half a glass and almost vomited all over me."
Stone said, pointing to the wine glass beside him.
Drizzt could feel that the owner of the body was a little shy. He heard a female voice, while apologizing, asking if he still needed to work.
After all, it seemed that he was drunk before he even started serving the guests.
"No need, I just want to find someone to chat with. Just tell me something interesting and I will listen."
Stone put down his pen and looked here.
The owner of the body began to hesitate and talk, clumsily and timidly, but as the chat progressed, she gradually relaxed and felt a kind of happiness from the bottom of her heart.
She could also feel that this man seemed to be under tremendous pressure, and only this moment of rest could relieve him of a certain amount of burden.
"There is no need for you to continue your current job. I am short of a cleaning servant, and I think you are a good fit."
Stone said, surprising and exciting the owner of the body.
The dreams that followed were a bit fragmented, and they were all fragments of the two of them getting along. Stone talked about some and not all, he mentioned his journey to the abandoned city, his first murder experience, and the complicated family relationships.
, mentioned his godfather and his dream.
"The current society in the abandoned capital has been completely fixed. The poor will always be poor, and the descendants of the poor will always be poor. People like us can only become dogs for the upper class. I want to change this so that people like you don't have to
To sell our bodies, to eradicate those bastards who sell illegal drugs, even if we are a gangster, we need to be a principled gangster."
Drizzt knew very well that for this, Stone needed to become the godfather of the Catania family, needed the family to unify the underground world of the abandoned city, and launched a war against the upper class of the abandoned city.
This is what led to the death of Liz and Io and the birth of the monster.
In order to save people like Liz, Stone's actions killed Liz.
And he couldn't do anything, his dreams, career, everything was completely destroyed.
Drizzt even saw that Stone had someone pick out a well-fitting maid outfit, and jokingly imagined Liz's shameful appearance when wearing this outfit, when he heard the fire coming from the Happy House apartment.
The look in his eyes that was a mixture of shock, regret, forbearance, and sadness during the incident.
What he was after, the dazzling, sparkling glass flower, was actually just the stinking sludge of the sewer.
He is very naive and believes that gangsters are a rebellion against the existing order and a representative of the spirit of resistance. However, he does not realize that when he is stained with mud, he will never be able to return to the beginning.
Drizzt felt that his physique had undergone certain changes.
He seemed to have turned into the mud, and his mind contained many consciousnesses.
In a daze, he said the other person's name.
"Io."
"She should be Liz's twin sister or younger sister. She has been frail since she was a child and suffered from serious diseases."
"After becoming the host of the sludge monster, her life becomes even more fragile."
"At the last moment, she became a monster, killed the gangsters, and swallowed everyone at the same time, blending everyone's consciousness together."
"Stone and Liz already knew each other. Stone wanted to save Liz, but before that, the incident had already happened."
"Io used all his consciousness to suppress the monster's madness. Liz's consciousness controlled the sludge and found Stone."
"She wants to help Stone realize his dream, and she wants to bloom a dazzling glass flower on this desolate and dilapidated land."
A large amount of blood flowed out of Drizzt's nostrils. He felt as if his brain was being burned on a fire. In his field of vision, the cold and indifferent words of the system kept popping up.
【You have been eroded】
[Sanity-1]
【You have been eroded】
[Sanity-1]
Finally, his rationality stopped at twenty points left. Drizzt felt that his vision was distorted, and he fainted.
When he woke up again, Drizzt saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
"Are you awake? The operation was successful and you are now a girl."
Lu Tan said in a congratulatory tone while peeling the apple.
"???"
Drizzt immediately checked his pants.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
He called out.
Lu Tan finished peeling the apple and put down the knife.
"Want to eat an apple?"
"want."
Then Drizzt saw Lu Tiao bite into the apple and eat it with gusto.
""
Drizzt began searching for his revolver.
"Are you awake? Great, it's just dinner time."
Shia opened the door and came over at this time. She was still holding a dinner plate in her hand, which contained a mountain of food.
"Are you going to cook for me or yourself?"
Drizzt thought he might as well just lie back.
"The food here is quite delicious, but it's a bit bland, but something lighter is better. This is what patients should eat."
Saying that, Shia took another big gulp of rice and ate more than half of the small mountain on the dinner plate.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Drizzt asked.
"Just one day. In terms of the erosion of pollution, this recovery speed is already very fast."
Sia replied, finishing another chicken drumstick in three seconds.
"The mission has been completed?"
He checked his system interface and found that the task had indeed been completed. It was now in a state where it could be settled at any time, and for Lu Tian and Shia, they could return at any time.
"Congratulations, you are now a famous detective in the abandoned city. You single-handedly solved the Flower of Glass case. The godfather of the Catania family was murdered by his adopted son. You fought off the monster but failed to catch it.
Adopted son."
Lu Tan handed the newspaper to Drizzt.
"I don't want to do it again."
Drizzt felt that his body had indeed undergone some changes, and he didn't know whether it was for the better or for the worse.
"Since you're fine, it's time for us to leave."
Shia licked the last bits of residue off her plate and put down her plate.
"You can ask the nurse to prepare food for you later, or you can go yourself."
"I'll leave this to you."
Lu Tan put something on the table of Drizzt's bedside table, and then stood up.
The two companions disappeared immediately, as if they had never appeared.
Drizzt picked up what Lu Tan gave him, put it in his palm and looked at it carefully.
It was a pendant with the pattern of an unknown flower. The pendant was made of glass and seemed to have a little gray mud in the middle.
He looked at the pendant and didn't notice that there was a person standing outside the door.
