"Glug glug!"
"Mmm, save..."
After a tiny splash, the hall returned to silence.
The first to wake up was Chong Shi.
Seeing his subordinate snoozing by the flashlight, he walked up with a cold face and kicked him.
"You sleep when you're supposed to be on night watch!"
The kicked man woke up with a bewildered look, "Master Chong Shi, I wasn't on night watch last night!"
Only then did Chong Shi realize he had kicked the wrong person, but an apology was out of the question, "Then who was on night watch last night? I woke up and there wasn't a single guard in sight."
The commotion caused the others who were still asleep to wake up one by one.
Upon investigation, they found that it wasn't that the person responsible for the watch had irresponsibly fallen asleep, but that they had vanished without a trace.
"Did anyone hear any unusual noises last night? Even if you thought it was a dream, it counts."
The crowd exchanged glances, then shook their heads with solemn expressions.
