Villain Saving System (BL)

Lu Yizhou closed his eyes, unable to look into Heimo’s twisted expression any longer. Every word the latter said cut through him like the sharpest spear and he knew that was true, thus he didn’t bother to deny Heimo’s words. Lu Yizhou had no idea why Heimo suddenly turned his sharp edges on him. How did he want Lu Yizhou to react? Did he wish that Lu Yizhou would be offended? That he would lose control of his emotions and kill him? That was impossible. There was no power in this realm that could make Lu Yizhou turn his back on Heimo.

But the problem was, Lu Yizhou didn’t know how to convince him.

[What should I do?] For the first time, Lu Yizhou turned to 666, this useless system, proving that he himself was getting helpless over the current situation. How could he save someone who couldn’t put an ounce of trust in him? What should he do so that Heimo could understand him? Did he need to carve out his heart and present it to Heimo so that the man would know that Lu Yizhou could put down his life just to keep him safe?

[666: Sorry, Host. 666 doesn’t know either QAQ 666 isn’t equipped to deal with such an emotional situation. More importantly, Host, your back—]

[Forget about my back.] Lu Yizhou let out a harsh sigh, feeling so drained all of a sudden. [Tell me about the current situation.]

[666: Oh! 666 can do that! The dragon has returned to its nest with the egg. It thought that you two had been burned by the lava. Whereas the two protagonists... hmm, they are currently on their way out, crying. Host... it seems like they also thought that you and Heimo had died without an intact corpse! Ling Chuwei has sent a message to her father.]

Lu Yizhou hummed thoughtfully. He had no idea whether it was good or bad news. Being considered dead wasn’t a bad thing if it meant he could act freely from now on but... how would it affect Heimo?

"Why aren’t you saying anything?" Heimo laughed in a shrill tone. His eyes were still glowing bright red. "You don’t even bother to deny me anymore, Lu Yizhou?"

The purification Lu Yizhou did earlier was interrupted when Heimo suddenly pushed him away and Lu Yizhou had been feeling the backlash for a while like an invisible stab wound to his chest. Every miniscule move he did tug on his wound and he could feel the blood soaking the ground beneath him. Fortunately, Heimo was a distance away and the lightning was inadequate for him to see what was going on. Nevertheless, Lu Yizhou couldn’t let him stay here any longer. This place wasn’t good for Heimo’s mind and he could already see what kind of effect the demonic energy had on the man in the short time they were here. He didn’t want Heimo to say or do anything he would regret later.
