As they flew across the sky, Lu Yizhou tightened his hold around Pandora and dropped a lingering kiss on his forehead. "Go," he murmured. "It's time for you to wake up."
"Huh?" Pandora whipped his head up in confusion. But before he could ask what Lu Yizhou meant by that, their bodies crossed the gate of Nightingale Prison. In an instant, something unimaginable and shocking happened.
The scenery around them froze as if someone had pressed a pause button. The loud siren in the air, the red lights from the watchtower, the ruckus from the prison building as well as Christian and Percy who were yelling and shouting for them… all of them stopped and the atmosphere turned deathly still.
The beautiful night sky cracked, and small pieces of fragments drifted down. It reminded Lu Yizhou of the ash-colored snow he saw when he entered Nightingale Prison for the first time. His feet gently landed on the ground as the scenery around him started to distort.
