Chapter 60 - 2.30 Together
[System notification: Host’s corruption is in progress: 83%...84%...]
Lightning struck without mercy, illuminating the hidden mansion atop of the hill. Gale howled and the thorny veins that shrouded the mansion walls flapped around wildly. It was an old building that seemed to have been built centuries ago, judging from the mold and spiderwebs around. No light could be seen from within, adding on to the gloomy and eerie atmosphere.
Under the basement where it was pitch black all around, a figure has his arms chained by his sides, kneeling. His long hair draped across his face and from the skin which wasn’t covered in clothes, dense black veins crawled out terrifyingly, wriggling as if they had come alive and were going to dig out their way soon. His chest was undulating fiercely and faint growls rumbled from deep within his chest. His body jerked once in a while, shivering as if enduring great pain.

Lu Yizhou didn’t know how much time had passed. He went through one nightmare after another; some were memories of the past while the other was the product of his own wild imagination. He saw people who shouldn’t have existed anymore; the family he lost, the people whom he had killed, those who cursed him as well as those who cried for mercy...
The scene changed and he saw Ren Zexi’s sorrowful face the day he left, then all of a sudden, his face morphed into Theodore’s...
He peeled open his eyes, feeling as though his head was going to crack from the pain. The scene in front of him was a blur and for a while, his mind was so disoriented that he couldn’t remember what had occurred before. He didn’t even know whether this was reality or another dream.
[666: Host, you’re awake!!! QAQ]
