Chapter 421 - 8.21 The Two Women
Five days... so it would be the fifth day. They had arrived at this mansion on Sunday evening so five days later would be Friday. Lu Yizhou still had no idea what the woman meant by ’reclaim what belongs to her’ but he had a hunch that it would wreak havoc in the mansion. For starters, the song she had always been singing, it must have meant something.
— ’I didn’t harm her... She lied to you...’
It sounded awfully like a love triangle. Maybe... the woman was Luca Knox’s mistress and somehow, due to some unforeseen circumstances, she died unjustly in this house? Because Madam accused her? That was one possibility.
Lu Yizhou quietly slid open the window and craned his neck out. His room was situated on the back of the mansion, facing the dark woods that spanned as far as one could see. Even though Lu Yizhou was on the second floor, the trees were much higher than that. Thin branches reached out toward the sky almost like the prayer of howling spirits that longed for the moonlight. Everything was barren and black, as if once a fire had broken out here to burn everything to death.
Because his room was in such an inconvenient position, if Lu Yizhou wanted to sneak into the others’ room to check the situation out, he had to scale the wall and crawl like a lizard. He looked down on his flowy skirt and soft bouncy chest and had a sudden urge to bang his head on the wall. How the hell could he move like he usually did in this body?!
He heaved out a long suffering sigh and looked at his stats. ’What does the number in the brackets mean?’
Ozzie jumped onto his shoulder and settled there into a fluffy loaf, butting her head affectionately against Lu Yizhou’s cheek. ’That’s the average number for normal human meow~’
Alright, so his strength and agility surpassed average, that’s normal. His health was full, most likely because he had just consumed the health potion. But his stamina... ’Why the hell is my stamina so low when my strength is higher than average?’ he demanded with a frown.
’That might have something to do with your current body, Daddy! Your stamina is below average, it means that you will be tired easily if a battle drags out and in exchange, influences your strength. I think you’re more suited to short and explosive combat rather than a long one meow!’
That made sense, Lu Yizhou nodded. Now that he knew his full stamina was only seven, he feared that he would be exhausted first after scaling the wall before he could even get to the real battle. Sigh, that would be a real hassle... He was contemplating which move he should take first when he felt 666 stir awake in the back of his mind.
[666: Guh...? What has happened to 666...? AH— THE GHOST! WHERE’S THE GHOST?!]
