Chapter 614 - 10.9 One Punch KO
RIING—!!
Lu Yizhou was startled awake by the blaring siren that resounded through the air. Any traces of sleepiness in his eyes immediately dissipated as soon as he registered his surroundings. Foul curses from half-awake prisoners sounded one after another from outside, followed by noisy footsteps of the warden banging on their doors.
"Wake up! You have fifteen minutes to pee, shit or do whatever you want to! Fifteen minutes! If you’re late by one second, then no breakfast for you!"
At the mention of food, the curses abruptly halted and only the commotion of people getting out of the bed and fighting to enter the bathroom could be heard.
Lu Yizhou slowly propped himself up and leaned against the wall. Icy dampness from the brick wall seeped into his thin clothes, making the little hair on the back of his neck raise. Tight lines formed between his brows. Just now, he suddenly got a sense of déjà vu, as if... he had done something like this not too long ago. It was so strange. He was sure that he had never done this before...
Christian sauntered out of the bathroom with a toothbrush hanging on his mouth. He glanced at Lu Yizhou’s direction and commented casually, "Quite a heavy sleeper, aren’t you, newbie? When I first came here, I couldn’t sleep for a week straight."
Lu Yizhou was so surprised that he could only stare at Christian in bewilderment. What did he just say? Heavy sleeper?? Unexpectedly, there finally came a day when his name and heavy sleeper were put together in one sentence. Recalling his past record of relying on sleeping pills to get through the night, Lu Yizhou sank deeply into self-doubt.
[666: H–Host, he’s true! 666 has stayed vigil for the whole night and nothing happens at all! It’s just that you’re sleeping unusually deeply... Did you dream of something?]
Something flashed through his mind at 666’s question. But once he tried to grasp it, it immediately slipped away like a mirage. Due to the incessant urge of the warden outside, Lu Yizhou could only shelve the doubt to the back of his mind for the time being.
Sigh, yet another day of being treated like livestock...
Biting icy water splashed onto his face, sobering his mind up. He looked up to see a face 80% similar to his own, with ash-colored hair and sharp silver eyes. He was ready to use Christian’s bar soap on himself when he inadvertently caught something on the mirror. Frowning, Lu Yizhou tugged his collar aside to reveal a powerful, distinct nape. There was an inconspicuous reddish mark on his skin, almost unnoticeable if not for how keen his eyes were.
