”Lord Sherlock, what shall we do? I suggest cutting open the belly of Evelynn to check what's inside. She deceived us first,” Bru said to Sherlock when Nicholas brought Sherlock and Evelynn to the safe room.

Evelynn sat in embarrassment at the side. There was only a bed in the room.

Nicholas was mistaken, so he didn't arrange two rooms for both of them or two beds in the room. The color of the room was also very strange.

It was a hint! The room created a feeling of heightened heartbeats and blushing.

Sherlock didn't respond to Bru. He poured himself a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea.

Nicholas brought Eggface and the parrot to another small room. Sherlock had registered Eggface as his secretary on the guest list, while the parrot was merely Sherlock's pet.

Whether it was his secretary or pet, it wasn't appropriate for them to stay with Sherlock. Moreover, Sherlock was staying with his dance partner Evelynn.

The Merchant Alliance had made detailed arrangements, so Sherlock didn't have to worry.

”Er… Lord Sherlock, I can sleep on the floor or the sofa,” Evelynn said as she blushed while watching Sherlock drink his bloody chrysanthemum tea.

”It's alright.”

Sherlock sipped his tea while he walked to the bed and sat down. Then he patted the spot beside him and said, ”You may sleep on the bed. Come over here, Evelynn, I have something to tell you.”

”Ah?”

Evelynn was stunned. She didn't expect Lord Sherlock to be that direct. She was nervous, but she stood up and walked towards the spot that Sherlock had indicated.

”Don't be nervous. I'm not going to eat you up, I'm going to tell you something.”

Sherlock wanted Evelynn to relax, but his words weren't effective. Evelynn became more nervous.

Evelynn walked to Sherlock, who wasn't nervous at all. He was like a bad boy.

Evelynn sat beside Sherlock as instructed. She closed her legs and looked nervously at Sherlock before lowering her head.

Sherlock extended his hand. Evelynn thought something was going to happen, but in the next instant, her thoughts sank. The feeling was more obvious than the Sludge Monster's mental attack.

When Evelynn opened her eyes, she was back in the small black room that had a pool of water and a huge metal railing. The railing had the word ”Seal” on it.

Behind the huge railing was a creature that was breathing heavily.

Evelynn looked around nervously. She didn't know why she had returned to this room.

This time, she wasn't alone. Sherlock was standing beside her.

”I see.”

Sherlock looked at the huge railing and Evelynn. He said apologetically, ”Apologies, Evelynn, I didn't tell you. I was worried that you may feel frightened or nervous.”

”Lord Sherlock, what is this…”

Evelynn looked on in fright. Previously, she was too nervous and terrified to notice the things before her. She thought it was her imagination. However, with Sherlock's help, she returned to that room, so she couldn't treat it like her imagination.

”I don't know what it is. I have to see how many tails it has,” Sherlock said with a smile. Evelynn was befuddled, not understanding what Sherlock was saying.

”Tails?”

”Lord Sherlock, since when did you like to joke?” Bru smiled and said to Sherlock in his mind.

”Wait, who's speaking? Is that the monster before us?”

It was very surprising that Evelynn could hear Bru's voice.

”Oh, greetings, Miss Evelynn. I'm the Dungeon Core of Eternal Kingdom, Bru. I would like to thank you for introducing me to Lord Sherlock,” Bru said politely to Miss Evelynn.

”Don't be nervous, Evelynn. Our awarenesses are fused together, so you can listen to our thoughts,” Sherlock said as he walked to the huge metal railing.

”Wait, I heard voices in Lord Sherlock's mind. Then Lord Sherlock can also hear…”
