Chapter 473 - 8.73 Suicide Mission
The wounds on Lu Yizhou’s body healed with a speed visible to naked eye. His strength that had nearly been depleted due to the fight with Baines suddenly shot off the roof. Raw power flowed in his veins, so intense that the air around him vibrated along. His silver eyes snapped open and they glowed as radiant as the strike of lightning amidst the stormy sky.
When his senses returned to him, he saw that there were only four people in the abandoned cathedral — him, Diana, Baines and his lover that was still chained midair.
Ji Yan and Olivia were nowhere to be seen. Earlier, amidst the warning sirens of his declining vitals and the loud buzz in his ears, he seemed to hear the mechanical voice of a system saying that... the quest was already completed?
"No need to search for them anymore," Diana said quietly as if knowing his thoughts. One of her hands was still firmly holding onto the end of the white silk that was binding Baines. "As long as they have completed the main quest, they will be able to get out of this world. Later on, the system will grant them the plot card as a bonus."
Plot card? It must be the same as the original plot, Lu Yizhou surmised.
"I understand," he nodded. "For them, the last boss is Maureen the black witch. But for me..." His gaze trailed to Baines, icy cold. "I have to eliminate all of the bugs in this world and save the villain."
Diana took the initiative to share the information. "The villain I have to save is Madam Knox and because you have unlocked the true ending, you involuntarily helped me to complete my mission. For that I..." She took a deep breath. "I am grateful and also... I’m sorry that I tried to trap you inside the underground prison before. Back then, I really thought that your villain and mine were standing on two opposite sides. To save one, you have to kill the other – no in betweens. I really have to clear the quest this time or else..." Diana choked on her words, unable to continue any longer.
Her fists were clenched, trembling ever so slightly. With her head bowed down and her thin shivering figure, she looked extremely like a lost and pitiful child.
Once again, Lu Yizhou got the feeling that he was bullying a junior. Logically speaking, one could not judge someone’s age by their appearance alone. Take Lu Yizhou as an example. He had already gone through seven worlds and his mental age could be said to rival an old man in his seventies.
