Chapter 127 - 3.67 I Will Expand!
Lu Yizhou froze as soon as he heard the notification. The call with Derek had just been disconnected and his fingers still hovered atop of the communicator.
The last few months were akin to a wonderful dream, the reminiscence of a life he wished he could have. He was married to the most beautiful omega who was currently pregnant with his child, his life was mundane and peaceful, like how every other normal person had; it was too beautiful to come true. He had almost forgotten that he was merely Lu Yizhou, not the revered Crown Prince of Versatine, not the winged beastman that was privileged to be the winner of life since birth. It was like a potent wake-up call, the reminder that he had a time limit, that he couldn’t stay here forever and once again he was thrown back into reality. The revelation sobered him up and chilled him down to the bones.
He waited helplessly for the verdict that would take him away.
—Yet it didn’t come.
[666: Host...?]
Lu Yizhou blinked slowly and tried to force his brain to work. [...How much time do I have left?]
[666: Host, 666 still can’t connect with the main server so the time limit remains blank.]
A frown appeared between his brows. [The mission is already completed.]
[666: Yeah, this is weird. 666 has never been disconnected from the main server before so 666 doesn’t know what’s happening. Once again, this is really, really weird. Do you want to hear 666’s hypothesis, Host? There’s two possibilities. First, we will go back as soon as Rosemane — one of the main protagonists — is executed, which is a month from now or...we will stay here until the day Oliver dies.]
So, it was either a month or forever. Lu Yizhou inhaled deeply.
A month. It was such a short time.
