Chapter 642: 10.37 Sleeping Princess
Even though he could not wait to see his lover, Lu Yizhou still showed an appropriately shocked expression. After all, 52 had never gone out of this cage and he had assud that his ’world’ would forever be limited here. "I can... go out?"
"Oh, yes, of course!" Benjamin opened the gate and walked in. He crouched down in front of Lu Yizhou and clasped Lu Yizhou’s hands, looking up at him with a benevolent smile like how a kidnapper would fool the na??ve children into their car. "You have shown astounding results for these past few years, so we have decided to give you special treatnt. It is only for you because nobody has ever co close to how special you are. You understand , don’t you 52?"
Though Benjamin looked fearless being in such a close proximity with an experintal subject, in fact the hidden muzzles in the corner of the room had already been pointing at Lu Yizhou’s vitals since so ti ago. As soon as he showed the slightest bit of aggression and tried to attack the researcher, then he would imdiately be shot with tranquilizer. Benjamin knew it too, that’s why he was not worried that Lu Yizhou would attack him. Moreover, he knew very well how docile Lu Yizhou was.
...This was a beast that had been completely tad.
As expected, 52 showed a faint delightful expression at being treated as ’the most special’. "Alright," he nodded without any hesitation. "Lead the way."
Satisfied, Benjamin finally let go and walked out of the cage. Unaware that behind him, the faint joy in Lu Yizhou’s eyes imdiately chilled below zero degrees Celsius. His eyes showed mild disgust when they landed on the hands which were held by the researcher. However, due to the tight surveillance in this place, he was unable to exhibit any strange movents like wiping his hands on his clothes because it would just attract unnecessary suspicion.
Because of the addition of the new permanent skill, all of the researchers in this place must be focused on Lu Yizhou. He should not expose himself right now. Not before he could confirm his lover’s safety.
As expected, as soon as Lu Yizhou followed Benjamin into the elevator, he sensed countless eyes falling on him through the CCTV on the corner of the cubicle. Lu Yizhou had gotten used to it and did not show any reaction. Instead, he was inspecting the elevator buttons with pure interest.
The elevator in Nightingale Prison could only move vertically, but in this institute, there was a button to move horizontally. The A-Z level was divided into five in each level, as such there would be A3, S4 or Z5. At present, Lu Yizhou’s ’ho’ was in Z2. Benjamin pressed the button for Z5 and Lu Yizhou felt the ground beneath his feet shifted to the right.
Benjamin did not think that anything was wrong with Lu Yizhou’s undisguised curiosity. After all, this was a child who had just seen a new world for the first ti. He rely chuckled and introduced the person Lu Yizhou was going to et. "You can call him 55. Actually, he can be considered your little brother. However, his health has always been weak since he was born. He needed to be kept inside the nutrient cabin in order to maintain his bodily function. If you can enter his mind and find out the root of his illness, then everyone will be very grateful for you."
"Sure," Lu Yizhou agreed with a smile. "I will do my best."
As expected of the child I nurture from the ’brain’! Benjamin was very satisfied with Lu Yizhou’s obedience.
Soon, the elevator door opened and a different space unfolded in front of Lu Yizhou. The level he was in, Z2, had been brightly lit with a massive cage that facilitated his basic necessity. However, the fluorescent lamp in this level glowed in a deep blue color, it gave off the impression that one had stepped into the bottom of the sea.
A few researchers in similar white coats had been waiting for them. They were all smiles when they caught sight of Lu Yizhou, like a group of grandparents seeing their favorite grandson.
"Welco to level Z5, 52. I am sure that Benjamin has explained the task for you along the way."
Lu Yizhou nodded lightly. His gaze went through the researchers to fall onto the sole nutrient cabin in the middle of the room.
Light blue liquid flowed inside the enclosed space and in the middle of it was a familiar figure. Lu Yizhou’s heart could not help but tremble when his gaze landed on his lover’s face. He looked the sa as he did a century later, yet for so reason, there was also a difference he could not pinpoint.
Floating amidst the light blue nutrient solution with his dark hair fanned around him like flowy seaweed, he looked just like a... sleeping princess. Waiting for the prince to co and kiss him awake.
His beauty transcended gender, it was actually hard for soone to discern his gender in one glance. Even though he had been in a coma for sixteen years, his skin was flawless and delicate, and there was a hue of flush on his cheeks that made his whole countenance sweeter. It was as if he was just sleeping temporarily and would wake up at any mont.
Lu Yizhou had no idea whether it was the effect of ’ninety three percent brain power’ which had been enforced into his body, but he seed to be able to hear the youth’s heartbeat falter slightly from where he was standing.
As if bewitched, Lu Yizhou walked toward the cabin, disregarding the researchers around him. Those people did nothing to hold him back either. They must have assud that he had started to utilize his newly awakened ability.
From such a distance, Lu Yizhou could not take his gaze away from the youth. He finally realized what had been bugging him for a while.
Yes, that’s right. If he could use colors as a taphor, then his lover a century years later was made up of soft pastel colors, but now... he was the wild splash of intense black and bold crimson. Each prominent feature on his face was magnified tenfold, making him all the more captivating.
Lu Yizhou reached out a hand toward the cabin and gently cupped his lover’s cheek.
It was cold, so very cold.
Ba-thump! Ba-thump!
Loud heartbeats echoed in Lu Yizhou’s ears, and it took him a while to realize that it was not his own, but the youth in front of him! "Can you hear ?" Lu Yizhou asked softly. He bent down to lean his forehead against his lover. "I am going to enter your dream now. Please... show
everything."
In the next second, he activated his newly acquired skill.

Before Lu Yizhou could even ponder on how soone could die inside another person’s mind, the sight in front of him started to distort. A familiar vertigo struck his head and all of a sudden, the ground beneath his feet abruptly disappeared!
Caught off guard, he tried to reach out for support but could grab nothing. He was falling deeper and deeper into the boundless abyss...
This feeling... it was exactly the sa as when he entered the cage only to be stranded in this era!
