Villain Saving System (BL)

"Poor lost lamb..." Baines murmured in a soft voice which traveled, for some reason, powerfully across the empty space. "He was trying so hard to keep himself safe, to protect his heart from being tainted that he failed to realize that he had been feeding from the darkness itself. Fear, anxiety, anger, despair... they corrupted him from inside and when he could not bear it any longer... he broke down. Such a delicate, fragile little thing..."

"Shut up." Lu Yizhou hissed. His voice shook due to the rage and his gaze was spitting flames. Had it been tangible, then Baines would have already lay in the pool of his own blood by now. "Shut up... you don’t know anything. He has never been weak."

Back then, Lu Yizhou almost died when 666 fought with 404. He was certain now, it was this version of his lover who had yanked him back into Irene’s body and returned him to life. If not for him... then who knew what would have happened to Lu Yizhou now?

However, Baines did not seem to know anything, to Lu Yizhou’s surprise. The way he talked about Lu Yizhou’s lover indicated that he was positive of how weak and helpless he was. That he would not be able to do anything. Lu Yizhou slowly relaxed his stance and took a few steadifying breaths to tamper his fury down.

He came to a conclusion. Baines did not know about what his lover was capable of.

His lover had never been weak. As they progressed between worlds, he had been getting stronger and stronger.

The proof could be seen from the skill cards Ella and Ellie had given him. Without the ’Death Reaper’ he would not be able to escape from the horrifying sweet dream of reuniting with his dead sister. Furthermore, the ’Silver Shield’ had saved him and the two protagonists’ lives from Luca’s attack. That was just how powerful they were. Hence this time, Lu Yizhou chose to trust his lover too.

There must be a crucial reason as to why he could not free himself. Lu Yizhou faintly recalled the dark shadows that had clung to his lover’s arm when he saw him for the first time and felt his heart squeeze painfully in his chest.

"You’re only a bug," Lu Yizhou continued with a hint of sneer in his tone. "And he is the real master of this quest, am I right? You’re sucking his energy out just like the parasite you are. Even when he’s all chained up like this, you still fear him."

He recalled last night, on the fourth floor quarter, Baines had insisted on coming in to check. For some inexplicable reason, he must have noticed that Lu Yizhou had snuck inside and wanted to get rid of him. However he did not expect that Ellie would be there and as soon as he heard her voice, he instantly changed his tune.

Baines sharply turned around to pin him with a murderous glare. Bingo. Lu Yizhou had hit a sore spot. He raised a brow, challenging the old man to retort.
