Chapter 367 - 7.57 Not Only One?
Lu Yizhou had awakened with a jerk as soon as the door opened and he felt an unfamiliar gaze landed on him. He tensed subconsciously and his senses abruptly went on full alert, even though outwardly he clearly looked like he was still in a deep sleep. Moshe was still in the bathroom but this person could enter as he pleased... Lu Yizhou slowly exhaled as the guess popped up in his mind. It should be Kaede, Moshe’s right hand man.
He was right when Kaede’s voice sounded to greet Moshe.
Slowly, Lu Yizhou opened his eyes to the dim ceiling as Kaede and Moshe’s hushed voice washed over him. He closed his eyes again when footsteps approached followed by a waft of citrusy, fresh shampoo and a cold touch on his forehead, followed by what seemed to be a gentle kiss.
"Sshh, it’s okay. Go back to sleep." There was a pinprick of pain on his arm as cold liquid was injected into his system. "It’s the antidote. You will be fine. Rest well, Lu Yizhou."
[666: Host, are you sober?]
Lu Yizhou grunted softly.
[666: Oh, thank Admin God... this is the most nerve-wracking night in 666’s life. Please don’t attempt something like that anymore, okay? QAQ]
[The thing Moshe has just injected into me... is it really the antidote?] It wasn’t like Lu Yizhou didn’t believe his lover or Kaede, but he just doubted everyone around them. He had given Kaede a green light after knowing how he had sacrificed his life to save Moshe. But as for everyone... he couldn’t be certain nor did he have a way to find out.
Come to think of it, Lu Yizhou should have realized that something was wrong early on. In the original plot, Zion had set up bombs in The Void’s properties, both public and private, in revenge for Moshe taking his lover hostage. But knowing how cautious Moshe was, he should have had tight security on his territory, especially on his private places. So how could Zion attempt such a thing? Of course, there ought to be someone who had led him in.
