Chapter 463 - 8.63 Final Boss
Lu Yizhou’s heart was beating fast and his whole body was trembling like a small sapling wrecked amid the howling storm. He felt so weak as though the previous incident had seeped him out of strength. Hastily, he gulped down a stamina potion and then closed his eyes to regain his bearings.
His throat still felt raw and his eyes burned with the sting of tears, but at least his shoulders were light of burden.
He knew he had made the right decision. If his sister was still alive, she would definitely give Lu Yizhou his approval. Because she only wanted one thing... to see him live happily.
How could he ever try to forget her? The memory of her death used to be his drive, his motivation and purpose and after that... he let her go. Because clinging into it was too painful, he chose to bury the tragedy of that day into the backyard of his mind and locked it securely; he forgot that she was not only a source of pain, but happiness as well.
They were happy once, and Lu Yizhou would carry the image of her smile with him this time.
[666: H–Host, are you okay?!]
’Daddy!!’ Ozzie licked his tears away, meowing piteously. ’Why are you crying?! Who makes you cry? Tell me and I will beat them up!’
Relief flooded Lu Yizhou at the familiar voices inside his mind. Wiping his face clean, he shifted Ozzie to his arms and ran his fingers through her silky fur in an attempt to soothe himself. ’What happened? Are you two—’
[666: Yeah, we’re all hypnotized as soon as we enter the room, Host! Fortunately, this trick didn’t work on 666 because 666 only saw codes! And codes are 666’s specialty, 666 is a code manipulator! 666 easily breaks free from the trap eheh~]
’It doesn’t work on me either because I am not a player meow!’ Ozzie nuzzled her head into the crook of Lu Yizhou’s neck. ’But you kept crying, Daddy, and the mannequin got closer and closer to you... Scared me to death! I was so ready to attack her but fortunately you woke up in time! Did you dream about Mommy?’
Lu Yizhou only gave a vague hum. He was not ready to talk about his past right here, in this kind of situation.
