Chapter 235 - 5.45 Kill?
The atmosphere abruptly stilled; it was as if someone had just pushed the pause button. What did Terra just say...? Who was the one infected by the parasite? Except for him, General Ethan and Joshua, the only other possibility was—
[666: QAQ Host, 666 is trying to tell you this! It seems like when you were... ehem... bonding with your guide, the parasite inside Joshua has reached stage 2 and started to multiply and then... and then, one of them ended up getting stuck on Yves.]
[Why didn’t you fucking tell me sooner?!] Lu Yizhou gnashed his teeth angrily.
[666: Huwaaa, 666 has been trying to tell Host as soon as 666 found out!!! QAQ]
"Halt." Lu Yizhou used his skill "Devil’s Whisper" to give a command. Yves’ body paused midair before he promptly crashed to the ground like a mannequin, his limbs were still posed in mid-attack.
Panicked, Yves cried out. "W—What is happening to me?!" W—Why couldn’t he move?! Even if that was spirit manipulation, he and General Kai had the same A rank! He might only be a little stronger than Yves, there was no way he could overpower Yves like this! And what did that guide say? He... He was infected by the parasite?! That wasn’t possible!
Lu Yizhou snapped sharply. "Don’t speak either. You and Joshua, don’t even think to get one word out of your mouth."
From the corner of his eyes, he could see General Ethan looked at him with his jaws hanging and eyes shimmering in awe. Lu Yizhou pinched his brows, feeling an oncoming headache. General Ethan opened his mouth to say something but before he could, Terra had run up to them and promptly dragged Lu Yizhou behind him, baring his teeth to the immobilized Joshua. "He’s dangerous, don’t get close to him! He can affect you too!"
Well shit, Lu Yizhou didn’t want his body to be taken over by the parasite either. He pulled Terra further to increase the distance between them and Joshua, the shitty parasite carrier.
