Chapter 458 - 8.58 Five and Seven
Since when?
Since when did Ailín fall victim to the black witch’s sacrifice? Was it earlier just now, when he was separated from Ji Yan and Olivia to inspect the freezer? What if Ailín had indeed gone inside back then? But Lu Yizhou had inspected his body, had seen the same marking on his chest like the others and it did not look... new. At least, it did not seem to have been engraved a few moments ago.
Was it last night, when Lu Yizhou was occupied with Ella and Ellie on the fourth floor? Or was it even earlier than that...? When they had just gotten off from the carriage on the very first day?
With a deep scowl on his face, Lu Yizhou stormed back to the room Diana, Ji Yan and Olivia were in — which had basically become a temporary basecamp.
Diana was still passed out on the couch whilst Ji Yan and Olivia were sitting side by side on the bed with their heads pressed close together talking about God-knows-what. As soon as they heard Lu Yizhou’s entrance, they instantly sprung apart and stood up with a totally different expression on their faces.
Olivia was firmly glaring at her own feet as though it had just offended her entire existence. On the other hand, Ji Yan’s face flushed crimson as he raised a hand in an awkward greeting, his laugh a pitch too high and hysterical. "Hey, you’re back!"
It took one full second for realization to dawn on Lu Yizhou and in an instant, all of the complicated thoughts in his mind ground to a screeching halt, replaced with utter speechlessness. His jaws dropped open a bit. Don’t tell him...
No fucking way, did the two protagonists almost kiss just now?!
The corner of Lu Yizhou’s lips twitched but when he thought back to Ailín who was still hanging from the ceiling inside the freezer, his scowl returned. "Something has happened," he said in a low voice.
