Chapter 509 - 8.109 Engine Room*
A full second passed when Ella froze at his question. And then, she let out a confused sound. "Werewolf? No, Ella is not."
"Okay." Lu Yizhou trusted that a good girl like Ella would not lie and so he nodded.
This was already within his expectation. Ever since seeing Ellen’s unusual reaction, Lu Yizhou already had an inkling as to what his role was. It was actually simple. If he was a werewolf, then he would not need to hide it because Lu Yizhou was a werewolf too. And if he was a seer, he could just jump into the werewolf camp. There was no need to hide it either.
That left only one possibility: they were not in the same camp.
Either Ellen was a guest or a doctor. Both of them were in the guest camp. Doctors were not allowed to heal werewolves so the ability was useless if applied on Lu Yizhou. Guest was even worse, they were on the bottom of the food chain and could only defend themselves when the werewolves came knocking on their door. From the very first day, Lu Yizhou had already treated Ellen like a guest so he was not too shocked even if Ellen decided to come clean with him. Sadly, Ellen was still not ready so he could only turn to the other personality.
This way... Ellen would not be angry right? He had said before that he didn’t even notice that Ella was awake. That meant that whatever Lu Yizhou was going to ask Ella could only be known to her. However, just to be certain, Lu Yizhou put on a solemn look and told her, "The questions I’m asking you now are very important. This will be a secret only between the two of us so... will you be able to keep it?"
Ella’s eyes lit up. "A secret between the two of us?" She giggled. "I can! I will not tell anyone, not even Sister Ellie!"
"Good girl." Lu Yizhou stroked her head gently, earning him another round of soft, melodious giggles. In the back of his mind, he distantly wondered when Ellie would wake up. Ellen was active during the day and slept at night, whereas Ella was asleep during the day and active at night. What about Ellie? Well, this was only the second day. Maybe Ellie needed more time to wake up after what she had gone through in the previous quest. Lu Yizhou no longer dwelled on that matter and asked Ella seriously, "Do you hear the mechanical voice in your mind telling you that you have a new role?"
Ella blinked. "Oh, there is! I got the ’doctor’ role and just now, the voice woke me up and told me to choose someone to heal. What does it mean, big brother? Is there someone injured? What kind of role do you have? Are you a doctor too?"
