Chapter 649 - 10.44 Another Method
666 had foreseen this kind of brutality from its Host. It did not even feel an ounce of shock. It was already different from the system it used to be, who could only cower in fear everytime Lu Yizhou talked about killing someone. This time, it could even discuss the strategy with its Host.
[666: Well, if those creatures die, the burden on 55 will be lifted for sure. We will be able to break the time loop as well. 666 assumed that this is the correct way to save the villain in this world. But, Host... there are more than a hundred experimental subjects in that place. Are you sure you will be able to handle them...?]
666’s concern was not unfounded. After all, Lu Yizhou was only a lone person. If he was besieged by a dozen experimental subjects who threw all kinds of strange powers at him, then he would surely be overwhelmed. He could even lose his life and fail the mission.
However, Lu Yizhou did not show an ounce of panic at all. [Have you forgotten what my former profession was?]
[666: Err... an assassin?]
[That’s right.] Lu Yizhou replied lightly. [One of the most basic skills an assassin has to master is to do a sneak attack. It will only be stupid of me to face them head on. This time, I will assassinate them one by one.]
666 was shocked. When Lu Yizhou put it like that, unexpectedly it sounded like... they could really succeed? Actually, there was another method to save the villain that 666 did not say. The system was sure that with Lu Yizhou’s intelligence, he would have already noticed it early on. This other method would be much easier than dealing with more than a hundred experimental subjects.
That was... to prevent experimental subject 55’s awakening in the first place.
If the ability ’Pandora’s Box’ had not been triggered, then subsequent disaster would not have happened. If 55 had not woken up, then the time loop would not have existed as well. This was also in line with the villain’s wish. In the hidden plot, it was written clearly that 55 wanted everything to end so he could have the eternal slumber he longed for.
