Chapter 462 - 8.62 The Past And Future
It was a déjà vu. As soon as his consciousness surfaced, Lu Yizhou snapped his eyes open to find that he was standing on two feet!
Glancing around warily, Lu Yizhou discovered that he was currently in a long narrow hallway, one whose end he could not see. Everywhere around him was pure white; the wall, ceiling, floor... if Lu Yizhou did not know any better, he would think that he was in a vast, boundless space of nothingness.
[666? Ozzie?] He could not find Ozzie where she was usually perching on his shoulder, nor could he connect with both of them. [Where are you two?]
Goddamnit, his mind link with them had been cut off!
He might understand it if it was Ozzie, but 666... It was Lu Yizhou’s system. Disconnecting their link meant messing with Lu Yizhou’s mind and going against the simulator itself which had not happened before — except when they were fighting the bug, but even then the connection would be disturbed, not cut off entirely — so Lu Yizhou instinctively knew that something was definitely amiss here.
Lu Yizhou tried to recall the last event he remembered. The three of them were standing before the master bedroom. Ji Yan had just wanted to open the door when something suddenly rushed out to pull them in. Yes, it was the same dark shadows he had seen the previous night. Lu Yizhou could not be mistaken.
Could it be... Were they experiencing the same thing as the two women?
With that doubt in mind, Lu Yizhou tentatively reached out to pinch the tender flesh of his arm. It indeed hurt, but Lu Yizhou noted that the sensation had been dampened. Blurred; almost as if he was put on mild anesthetic or something.
He breathed out through his mouth. Alright, calm down now. He’d better play it by ear until he could sort out his current situation.
