Chapter 465: 8.65 In Your Dreams

"You are..." Lu Yizhou looked at Ailín in shock and disbelief.

He raked his gaze up and down Ailín’s body before pausing on the mark of the array that was peeking out of his collar.

How...? How did he get here? He and Ji Yan had made sure to lock the door so that Ailín would not be able to run out again. But then he recalled that something was unusual with this space. It seemed to be separated from the mansion because Lu Yizhou could not even hear anything from the fight between Luca, Ji Yan and Olivia. Therefore, it was not unusual for Ailín to appear here. They could not hinder the black witch just with a single door and lock.

"Miss Irene." Ailín gave him a smile so familiar that it surprised him for a split second. "It’s a pleasure to meet you again. You must have been shocked last time."

"You’re right," Lu Yizhou replied dryly. Then, because he could not contain his curiosity, he asked. "...Since when?"

"The first night." Ailín answered but instead of his own voice, what came out of his mouth was Maureen’s repulsive voice. Beside him, Maureen smirked, satisfied with the disapproval frown she saw from Lu Yizhou’s face. "We couldn’t enter Olivia’s room because of her holy nun power. Diana is our ally so she’s an exception. At first, the sacrifice should be you but Miss Maureen has another idea. That’s why it could only be me. Poor me. I was dying in my bed, but my roommate didn’t even try to save me!" Even though the voice was laced with despair and woe, the smile on Ailín’s face remained the same. The contrast was unnerving, it could make anyone’s goosebumps rise.

Lu Yizhou’s jaws tensed. So, ever since the time Ailín came to them, flustered to inform them about Diana’s death, he had become the black witch’s sacrifice. And not only that, Diana had known everything all along!

Damn it! These two people should be given an award for the pretense they had shown to the world!

Diana was completely focused on her own mission and did not care if her teammates were to die. In addition to that, Ailín’s acting had been totally natural, humane and left no room for doubt. Especially their last conversation during their walk to the kitchen...

Realization suddenly dawned on Lu Yizhou and he shifted his gaze to Maureen. "You’re using him to test my real identity," he said gravely.

This was negligence on his part. Ailín had talked about his experience in the previous quests and sang about how kind Lu Yizhou was. And then... And then Lu Yizhou had denied him outright, revealing a sliver of his true intention. If Maureen was watching... If Irene was indeed a gentle, benevolent woman like she described, then she would instantly know that Lu Yizhou was not the real Irene.

Everything had been a delicately placed trap and Lu Yizhou was oblivious of it! Fuck!

Maureen let out a shrill laugh, amused at the flash of fury in Lu Yizhou’s eyes. "Oh dear, this is so funny! Don’t tell me that you have only realized it just now!"

Lu Yizhou ignored her blatant provocation and instead asked, "Is there a way for the sacrifice to be turned back to how they originally are?"

Maureen wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. "I knew you would ask that. Even though I don’t know who you are, you have clearly received Irene’s approval seeing that she has let you stay in her body. And look, I have prepared a perfect answer for you two!" She clapped gleefully. "Lo and behold, I have perfected this spell since ten years ago! Once you have been engraved by the mark, once you have offered your blood, you will forever be bound and never to be set free again!"

Seeing such a manic expression on the face so similar to him was honestly making Lu Yizhou’s blood pressure spike, he could not wait to slap this woman hard. Patience, Lu Yizhou, he tried to tell himself. He had to keep his head cool if he wanted to bring his enemy down once and for all.

Now he knew that there was no other way to save Ailín, then there was no need to hesitate anymore.

Seizing the advantage that Maureen would not expect him to make a sudden move, Lu Yizhou lunged forward with the speed and might of an eagle who had set his eyes on a prey. He grabbed Ailín by his arms and before anyone could react, twisted his neck off and released him to the ground in a lifeless heap.

Maureen stared at him with her mouth agape.

The one he had owed a favor to was not the real Ailín, but Lu Yizhou did it for him anyway. Rather than trapped in this revolting place and witnessing his body being controlled forever, it was better to just close his eyes forever.

"Rest in peace, Ailín." Lu Yizhou murmured under his breath.

"You’re..." Maureen trailed off. And then she suddenly burst into laughter that was even wilder than before. She clapped excitedly like a child who had seen a circus performance for the first time. "You’re magnificent! That was absolutely magnificent!" Between one breath and the next, she suddenly disappeared from her spot and appeared right in front of Lu Yizhou, sending him freezing into a shock. She reached out to trail her fingers along the line of his jaw, whispering. "I knew it. I really want you... to become a part of my collection."

Lu Yizhou sneered and jumped back to avoid her touch. "In your dreams."

She was fast! And also, her confident and leisurely gait, it made him think that she was merely dealing with an ant which she could kill anytime soon. Lu Yizhou definitely could not lower his guard! Maureen might be a powerful black witch but there was one crucial thing she did not know.

Lu Yizhou was not an ordinary player. He was a transmigrator with his own set of skills. He was not fighting alone. He had 666 and Ozzie by his side.

"Cocky as always." Maureen clicked her tongue. "Where’s your respect for your big sister?"

Unexpectedly, that one sentence ticked Lu Yizhou off in a wrong way. Fury bubbled up in his chest, so intense that it shocked even himself. He seethed in a low voice. "Shut up. You have no right to call yourself a big sister. Don’t taint that word with your mouth."

’Daddy, let me fight this one meow!’ Ozzie stretched her body and jumped down from Lu Yizhou’s shoulders. In the next second, she transformed into a gigantic winged cat. ’I will buy some time so you should go and find Mommy meow!’

Lu Yizhou swallowed the protest that almost fell off his lips. He stroked the fur on Ozzie’s enormous paw. In the next second, his hand glowed in a deep blue light. Ozzie was stunned when she sensed the cool sensation flowing into her body. Lu Yizhou was transfering his witch power to her!

[[Remaining power: 0/100%]]

’Daddy!’ Ozzie exclaimed, shocked, as a white light enveloped her whole body.

[White witch cultivates peace, healing and love, as opposed to black witch who excels in destruction and chaos.] Lu Yizhou recalled seeing that sentence in his profile and concentrated on pouring as much love as he could into Ozzie’s body. When it came to this, he was certain that he could make Ozzie become invincible.

Perhaps... it could be considered as a blessing?

’I am counting on you for this one, Ozzie," he remarked inwardly and sent a sharp glare toward Maureen who was merely looking at them with an intrigued look. ’Defeat her and kick her ass, you may even scratch her face as much as you like.’

Ozzie giggled. ’Copy that meow!’

"I don’t have time to play with you." Lu Yizhou patted Ozzie’s head proudly and smirked. He held no slightest doubt that Ozzie would lose. She was, after all, his and Zeke’s daughter. Their brilliant, powerful and miraculous daughter. "So I will let you play with my daughter instead. Have fun."

Casting one last look toward Ozzie and Maureen, Lu Yizhou resolutely turned away and dashed toward the single door, kicking it open with a bang.
