Surprise Hotel

Chapter 198 - Seven Day Festival

The only downside to the Escape from Distress privilege: you cannot choose a specific target location, and the location lands randomly.

In other words, even after using this Monarch System Privilege, Lucha could not be sure where he would end up.

What could be determined was that he wouldn't fall into the lava.

Lü Criminal felt like he had undertaken a long time travel, travelling through chaos.

When he regained consciousness, he found that he was imprisoned in something and couldn't move.

It was as if a layer of concrete had been poured around his body, wrapping tightly around it.

He heard a woman's cry, a man's shout, and all the noise outside again seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Lü Criminal felt a little stuffy, a little breathless, so he woke up as if struggling from a dream and opened his eyes.

The moment his eyes gazed ahead, a light suddenly lit up, and then the familiar intelligent system was awakened.

"Iris recognition complete, welcome back, master!"

Those thick shells that were originally imprisoning him suddenly became active and could accompany his movements to provide keen intelligent assistance.

Lu Zheng finally realized where he was at this moment.

It was that battle armor that was modeled after Iron Man!

He's actually in that armor of his!

Lu Zheng was inwardly glad.

The monarchy system actually didn't pit him this time and directly teleported him to a place that was relevant to him.

He got up excitedly, and then he discovered a new problem.

Hey? Why are you sitting up?

His armor had been placed upright in the palace cupboard of the camp, why had it just been placed flat?

He came back to his senses and looked around amidst a steeple of panicked voices, surprised to find himself on a large hall similar to a hearth.

All were dressed in black, holding white chrysanthemums, with pallbearers pulled up on either side.

Women's cries, men's shouts, all appeared because of him.

Lu Zheng patted the crystal coffin that held his body, and suddenly understood something.

Everyone thought he was dead, so they put his armor into the coffin, intending to build a casket.

But what they didn't expect was that he himself had descended into that steel armor.

He had managed to travel through space, but there was a slight delay in time.

Now, he was witnessing his own funeral being held.

This feeling was bizarre and subtle.

But compared to the shock of Lu Execution, those under the palace were even more terrified.

Those who had seen themselves swindle a corpse, had never seen a battle armor that could swindle a corpse.

Before putting it in, someone had already checked it over, it was empty inside, and the external power supply was deliberately turned off, so it was difficult for bystanders to open it from the outside. That's why, at first, Lv Zheng felt like he was being tied up, until he triggered the iris to unlock it.

A steel armor moving on its own with no control, this kind of thing was tantamount to a haunting.

Despite the fact that in the era of technologically advanced civilization of the Waste Land, such things still haunted the scene.

The guards rushed in amidst a howl of wolves, their weapons pointed at the armor-wearing active Lü Torture on the main hall.

Faced with this scene, Lü Criminal was also at a loss as to how to speak, so he tried to raise his hands in a surrendering gesture.

Through the infrared detection system that came with the weapon, the soldiers were surprised to find the outline of a human figure within the armor and immediately reported this to Wu Weidong.

Wu Weidong was so shocked by the sight that he snatched up his weapon and cautiously stepped forward, questioning in a harsh voice, "Who! How dare you come here and steal the leader's relics!"

The battle armor mask suddenly opened, and Lu Execution's face appeared in it.

All the people at the scene were startled, and after three seconds of silence, the crowd howled and ran away.

"It's haunted!"

"The leader is back!"

"Ah-"

People hugged their heads, only a few of them stared at the palace's Lu Execution, their eyes red.

"Is that you? Is that really you?" Shano's tears were spinning. Her face was now gaunt and embarrassed, her eyes puffy, and she didn't know how many times she had cried behind her back.

"This is the infrared test results, there's no mistake!" Wu Weidong was so excited that he smiled in his snot.

"Hey, buddy, just talk, don't point the gun at me... "Lu Pun waved his hand even as he gestured for him to put the gun down.

"You're a guy who's actually not dead!" Zi Wei wiped her tears as she dragged off her shoes and threw them towards Lu Zheng, "Do you have any idea how badly you made us cry! You're a liar!"

"It's a miracle." Giant Gate's expression exclaimed, "I can hardly imagine how he survived."

Lucho grabbed the shoes that came flying through the air and made a gesture, "You can understand that I acquired a special ability that allows me to escape at the limit and move instantly. However, this ability can only be used once, and after grabbing Wookiee and jumping into the lava, I used it to escape. But I wonder, it seems like a long time has passed in the meantime right?"

"That's right, you've been dead for seven days," Zi Wei said, "Today everyone is holding a seven-day festival for you, I almost thought you had returned to life on borrowed corpse."

"People can't come back from the dead, what's the point of returning a soul, it's three thousand years A.D., don't be so feudal and superstitious, okay..." droned Lu Zheng from the main hall, "also, it's been seven days, but to me it's just In the blink of an eye. This pitiful system only said that the location after the transient cannot be determined, but it didn't even tell me that the time is also uncertain."

"What a waste of tears when the funeral was held and you didn't end up dead." Ziwei sneered at him and held out her hand towards him, "Give me back my shoe."

Lu Zheng threw the shoe at her feet, "You seem to want me to die, huh? If I die, won't you be the only lost person with the monarchy system alive to the end? Now that Wu Qu has been wiped out, the entire East Land has been regained and unified, and you'll be able to ascend to the monarch's throne. Oops, such a good opportunity has been ruined by me, you should hate me now, right?"

"Yeah, I hate you to death." Zi Wei put her shoes back on nonchalantly, "But who asked me to trust you, you said you'd just leave the rest to me if I trusted you. I've already given up on the monarchy system and monarchy, and then you rotten person actually runs off to fight with Wuqu..."

When he looked up, he noticed a hint of wet red in Zi Wei's eyes, she didn't dare to meet his eyes, she just clouded over.

"Hey, I'm back, aren't I?" Luthor scratched his head and said.

"What if it doesn't come back?"

"No what if, is a certainty. There is no such thing as a promise that doesn't count." Lu Zheng smiled and replied.

Zi Wei didn't say anything else, and from the expression on Ice Release's face, he knew that she wasn't angry anymore.

But when his gaze passed over her shoulder and saw Shano, Lü Criminal awkwardly realized another problem.

Certain people, this red-eyed, agitated and angry look, seem to be jealous?
