Chapter 388 - 7.78 Eight Years Ago
"I can find my way there," Lu Yizhou appealed again when he sensed Moshe’s defense started to crack. "I will do it tonight. Don’t worry, I will be back before you can miss me."
Moshe’s expression twisted into one of incredulity. "What did you say? Miss you? Who, me? Ha!" He scoffed and rolled his eyes for good measure. "I think you knocked your head when you fainted earlier, pet. We should have had your head checked too."
Lu Yizhou quietly smiled to himself. There it was, the usual Moshe he knew. "From now on, feel free to ask me anything and don’t keep it to yourself. There are a few things I can’t answer but... other than that, I will try my best to clear your confusion."
"So... your real identity is off-limits but other than that, I can ask anything?"
Lu Yizhou nodded.
"What about the bomb earlier, then?"
"Ah, it’s the system I have told you about, 666. It has a certain degree of... control in this world. For example..." Lu Yizhou cleared his throat. "For example, the incident of your kitchen exploding a few months ago, it was 666’s doing."
[666: *gasp* Host, how can you slander 666 like that?! Wasn’t it you who told 666 to make an explosion somewhere?!]
Lu Yizhou continued seamlessly, "And it was also 666 who stopped the bomb. I was afraid that we couldn’t make it in time hence I asked 666 to do that." He carefully observed Moshe’s perplexed look. "...I know it’s quite hard to believe."
"Of course," Moshe said in a matter-of-fact tone. "I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that the world I live in is only a... simulator? A fake world? And then you’re telling me that there’s an... invisible entity living inside your head who is powerful enough to stop a ticking time bomb?"
[666: Hmph, Moshe has good taste. 666 is indeed very, very powerful!]
