Chapter 477 - 8.77 Werewolf Game*
[[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the quest ’Terror in the Knox Family!]]
That was the sentence Lu Yizhou heard in his mind when his consciousness climbed to the surface. Relief flooded his heart in waves and his heart that was hanging midair could finally be put down.
He was actually gambling when he told Ellen to kill Baines. If it went according to his prior experience, then he would be transported to the rest station even after he died because his mission to save the villain had been deemed completed. The worst case scenario was to return to day one and start everything all over again. Either way, Lu Yizhou already outwit Baines and beat him at his own game.
The only downside was that his lover had indirectly killed him...
Lu Yizhou’s heart ached just by the thought that his lover would retain this painful memory in the end. He could not imagine how Ellen’s reaction was when he found his corpse. Yes, Lu Yizhou indeed had a plan, but it included dying in his lover’s arms. If he had told Ellen firsthand, there was no way he would agree with Lu Yizhou’s plan hence he had no choice but to tell a little white lie.
Ellen must have been so angry with him... Lu Yizhou let out a heavy sigh. There was already a promise of ’no sorrys’ between them, so all Lu Yizhou could do was to make it up for him.
Already deciding his next course of action, Lu Yizhou belatedly realized that his whole body was weighed down by thick fatigue and sluggishness. It was not only the physical kind but also psychological. For the past forty hours, his nerves had been strung taut by the events that happened one after another. He had not even had a respite until the last second. He wished he could sleep again but his mind had grown fully alert. Going back to sleep was not a choice then.
Lu Yizhou was not unfamiliar with this sensation. After all, he used to have severe insomnia which could only be cured when sleeping with his lover. He shoved the discomfort to the back of his mind and tried to reawaken his numb senses.
The next thing he noticed, he seemed to be... swaying ever so slightly?
As though sensing his doubt, the mechanical voice sounded once again and doused a bucket of cold water over Lu Yizhou’s head.
