In the evening of that day.
Du Wei returned to Alex's house.
After spending some time with his girlfriend, he received a call from Officer Tom.
Basically, Tom was currently with Father Tony and wanted to meet Du Wei at a restaurant.
It was a routine social engagement, but there were also some matters concerning the Horror House to discuss.
Although Alex wasn't too fond of Tom, she was sensible enough to let Du Wei attend to his businesses first, especially since she was still looking forward to the surprise her boyfriend had prepared for her.
A woman's thoughts can be so simple.
As for Du Wei, he hadn't planned on staying overnight at Alex's place anyway since his backpack contained an Evil Spirit—Pennywise.
If Pennywise caused trouble at night and scared his girlfriend, that would be terrible.
