Chapter 520 - 8.120 Impossible Task*
Ellen stared at him for one long moment, so long that Lu Yizhou felt the oxygen around him thinned and he could not properly breathe. He had been prepared for the worst, but the thought that Ellen would be caught in the crossfire tomorrow filled him with an unprecedented sense of anxiety and fear. Lu Yizhou did not fear death, nor would he shy away from pain.
...He was only scared that this man, whom he cherished more than his own life, would get hurt.
Ellen’s lips moved. "If I say no... will you believe me?"
That answer was so unexpected that Lu Yizhou could not react for a moment. "You’re not...?"
Ellen shrugged with a self-deprecating smile on his face. "I did not enter this world as a player, how can I possibly get a role? In your eyes, I might be considered an NPC."
Lu Yizhou’s eyes widened in surprise. Ellen was an NPC who did not have a role? No, that’s not right. Even if he was an NPC, then he would still get the ’guest’ role. It was just that NPCs did not realize their own role, they only thought that they were an ordinary guest who came to enjoy the seven-day luxurious cruise ship vacation, unaware that they were heading straight to their demise. In this way, it could explain why Ellen was unaware.
...But what about Ella? Last night, Lu Yizhou had confirmed her role as a ’doctor’ and Ella would not lie to him. If Ella could get a role, then she was considered as a player in the eye of the system.
Looking at Ellen’s casual look, he did not seem to realize the discrepancy between two personalities in his body.
Lu Yizhou was getting more and more confused. Ellen said he was not a player, but Ella’s words claimed otherwise. Then... what about Ellie? Lu Yizhou’s heart gave an uneasy jolt. It was already the third day, but why didn’t Ellie wake up yet? Both Ellen and Ella had appeared on the very first day so was it normal for Ellie to remain asleep until now?
