Chapter 383 - 7.73 Unknown Intruder
Ba-thump!
Lu Yizhou’s heart gave a lurch and his vision abruptly swayed. Moshe’s voice seemed to echo beside his ears, but it also sounded faraway. Lu Yizhou wanted to answer yet his tongue felt swollen in his mouth. The system notification’s warning blasted his mind like a wailing siren, and then everything turned dark.
[System notification: We would like to apologize for the short disturbance we have caused for the patients. As of now, the simulator is undergoing quick maintenance. This will take approximately ten minutes. Please wait patiently and thank you for your understanding.]
Lu Yizhou’s sight was totally black and no matter how many times he blinked, it didn’t change. It seemed like his body had fainted, but his consciousness was floating amidst this unknown space. He hissed, full of accusation. [What have you done?!]
In this space, 666’s voice echoed loudly as if it came from all directions.
[666: N–No, Host, it isn’t 666! 666 swears in the name of Admin God QAQ! Remember that we have hacked into the main system since the previous simulation? 666 has been maintaining the stealth mode all this while and acts very carefully whenever we have to do something. There’s no way 666 will make this kind of error at times like these!]
It was becoming instinctual for Lu Yizhou to blame 666 for every problem that came his way, judging from many perilous situations the system had put him in before.
But then, he recalled that 666 had changed the time limit for him in the fifth world and also helped him retrieve the secret data from the recycle bin in the sixth world. Those acts were certainly more dangerous and risky than simply defusing a simple time bomb inside the simulator. But 666 had executed both of them very well.
If it wasn’t 666, then what had alerted the main system?
