Villain Saving System (BL)

"I’m sure you know what I wish to talk about, General."

Lu Yizhou hummed and closed the door of Doctor Wyatt’s office behind him. It devastated him to leave his lover as soon as they confirmed that yes, they could indeed form a bond right there and then. It would be just like Altair and Oliver all over again, to be linked both in body and soul, though Lu Yizhou had to study first how to form a spiritual union between a sentinel and guide.

Lu Yizhou had never once doubted his compatibility with Terra, albeit he didn’t expect that they would break the machine in the process. As much as it pained him to admit, there were more pressing matters to solve before he could truly let his guard down. He couldn’t stay with Terra knowing that out there, the person — parasite? — who had ordered his death was still alive and kicking, possibly having the best time of their life.

He observed the spacious yet messy office, taking in every single crook and detail as well as the heavy antiseptic smell that he had associated with the doctor before his eyes finally landed on the CCTV on the corner of the ceiling.

"Don’t worry about that." Doctor Wyatt assured when he noticed Lu Yizhou’s line of sight. "It’s actually a toy to fool the inspection members. No one is brave enough to put surveillance in my office." He finished with a sneer.

Lu Yizhou quirked a brow. When he scrutinized it deeper this time, he indeed found that the texture of the CCTV was rougher than normal; plastic instead of metal. The blinking dot was actually LED light that was specially glued to the screen and Lu Yizhou found no camera inside the glass. He nodded, sat down on the couch and directly got to the point. "How are those four A rank sentinels doing?"

Doctor Wyatt’s lips curled in distaste. He fetched a cup of coffee for himself before sitting down opposite Lu Yizhou. "They won’t say anything even under the threat of death. That audacity! If it’s not because the truth serum is dangerous for sentinels because it can mess up with their mind and add to the risk of losing their senses, I will have stabbed their neck with it since last night!" The doctor’s eyes blazed in crimson vengeance and Lu Yizhou didn’t have the slightest of doubt that the guide could do it without even batting an eyelid. "I’m sure you have known it, General. But they also wished to get rid of me."

Lu Yizhou nodded. "I saw."

"And no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn’t find the reason why someone would want to kill both of us. Except for the sole reason that I am your main doctor..." Doctor Wyatt fell silent at that, his lips quietly parted in shock. "Wait, is that the reason why? Because I am your doctor?" He hastily put his coffee to the table and rubbed his face roughly. "Goddamnit, the number of people that know it are less than five. Moreover, the time was too coincidental. I have just relayed the message to the President the day before and last night, they came."
