10.1 Become a Felon

Arc 10: The Pandora Of My Heart0

"If you have one chance to make a wish and it's guaranteed to come true, would you be willing to do it despite knowing that you have to pay a great price?"

Lu Yizhou froze in shock.

Willmeter…? It took him a few seconds to remember what it was. Ah, right, that was the whole purpose of the simulator to begin with; to stimulate someone's will to live and only then would they be able to wake up in reality again.

He had never really paid attention to his willmeter before, especially when he was absorbed by the task of gathering his lover's broken consciousness. Now that the system brought it up, he suddenly recalled that… his willmeter seemed to be different from others. There were two colors — blue and orange. In the end, they simply merged into one crimson color. He had asked 666 about it before and the system clarified that something like this was truly unprecedented before. 

In the end, Lu Yizhou speculated that it was due to his and Zeke's willmeter combined into one. As for the reason behind it, he might need Dr. Feng to explain it properly.

There were too many mysteries around Zeke and the only way for Lu Yizhou to find out was through Dr. Feng. He had thought that he would be able to find out something after he returned to the rest station but… it seemed like everything needed to wait until he woke up.

Lu Yizhou heaved a sigh.

"Wait," he suddenly recalled something. "If the next simulation will be my last, then… what about Zeke? Has his consciousness been gathered yet?" The whole purpose of Lu Yizhou staying inside the simulator was only because of his lover. The matter of willmeter was only a bonus. If him leaving would affect Zeke in the end, then it was better if Lu Yizhou did not leave at all!

Lu Yizhou waited for 666's response, yet there was nothing after a few seconds.

"666?"

[666: A–Ah? Are you talking to 666, Host?]

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Yizhou inquired in doubt. Going by the usual practice, 666 should be beside itself with joy right now. After all, the system had been the one who was really stressed about Lu Yizhou's willmeter. Unexpectedly, there was no cheers, excited cries of celebratory trumpet?

[666: *cough* No, Host, 666 is just too shocked, that's all! What did you say earlier?]

Lu Yizhou repeated his question once again. "I was asking, what will happen to Zeke if I leave the simulator?"

[666: Oh, that's simple! Host, you two's willmeters are one. Now that your willmeter is already over 90% then it means that the same also applies to Zeke! Congratulations, Host! Soon, you will be granted a new life!]

A new life, huh…? Unexpectedly, there was a hint of excitement and anticipation swirling in his chest. Lu Yizhou could not resist a smile on his face. He simply could not wait to wake up and meet his lover. This time, it would be the real first encounter between them. 

"Alright." He took a deep breath, trying to rein in the bubbling impatience. "Let's go."

[666: Aye, aye, Host!]

The scene in front of him blurred and a sense of weightlessness overcame him. In the next second, he found himself standing firmly on his feet. Someone suddenly shoved his shoulder harshly from behind, causing his steps to falter. 

"Hurry up!" A rough male voice bellowed angrily. "I warn you, don't come up with anything funny or I will shoot!"

By now, Lu Yizhou was already numb by the unpleasant surprises the simulator would throw at him upon waking up. At least, this was way better than being besieged by zombies or forced to fight in a gladiator with severe injuries. Lu Yizhou opened his eyes and calmly observed his surroundings.

The sky was murky blue and ash-colored snowflakes drifted in the air, immediately melting upon landing on his head and shoulders. There was a row of people in front of him who were lining up to get into a large blue bus. Because of Lu Yizhou's transfer earlier, he suddenly halted on his tracks and alerted the supervisor behind him. 

The people in front turned back and looked at him with the exact same expression — numb. As if they were sending themselves into a coffin and not a bus.

Lu Yizhou walked forward without a change in expression. He could already gauge the overall situation. The large bus whose windows were covered in metal bars, the people with similar attire and lastly… the pair of cuffs that was bound around his wrists…

Right now, he should be a convict who was ready to be delivered into prison.

Great, very great. The corner of Lu Yizhou's lips curled into a chilling smile.

[666: *shudder* Host, please don't smile like that QAQ 666 has psychological trauma regarding your smile…]

Behind him, the same supervisor harrumphed coldly. There was deep malice in his tone as he sneered at Lu Yizhou's back. "Acting so high and mighty, let's see if you can survive for a day after getting there!"

The man cursed a few more times but Lu Yizhou no longer listened to him. He climbed into the bus and swept his gaze around. Almost immediately, his attention was drawn toward a young man sitting on the middle row near the window.

His appearance looked too good to be a convict. He had curly brown hair and green eyes, and his whole temperament was akin to a young master from a wealthy family. He was staring out of the window with a resentful look on his face. The rims of his eyes reddened, yet no matter what, he refused to let the tears fall. Compared to the numb-looking brutes around him, he was like a single pure flower amid the pool of dirty mud. 

Practically everyone in the bus was giving secret glances to the young man and hence, Lu Yizhou's action did not look suspicious at all.

Lu Yizhou withdrew his gaze and sat in an empty seat behind the young man. [He is the protagonist, isn't he?]

[666: Bingo! Host is powerful, Host is smart, Host is brilliant! You're right! He is indeed one of the protagonists in this world, Young Master Percy from the reputable Snyder Family!]

[Oh?] Lu Yizhou raised his brow in interest. A young master from a reputable family was reduced into a worthless felon, it was quite an interesting plot. Not only did he look like a prideful man, his pure and beautiful appearance alone was already enough to rouse some people's wicked desire. Even before digesting the original plot, Lu Yizhou could already imagine how bloody the story would be. And judging from the supervisor's malicious words earlier, it seemed like the place they were heading to was not any good at all. 

Lu Yizhou was not in a hurry. He knew that his lover would be in the prison he was going to. As the bus drove down the main road, he leaned against the seat and closed his eyes comfortably. [Plot.]

[666: Aye, aye, Host. Here it is!]
