Chapter 638: 12.40 Unknown Star – Modern ABO World: Time stops for five minutes.

At dawn...

Hei Yuhua prepares to leave the building and take over his dummy’s role living in the prison. Ye Yuyan was in deep sleep as he was still suffering from a hangover. Wearing black clothes all over him, he approached the bed at the center of the room and saw Ye Yuyan’s sleeping face. His hand was waving around the other side of the bed looking obviously for him. He had to place a body pillow as his substitute.

Hei Yuhua stares at his husband for a few minutes more before lowering his head and pecking his lips as a farewell kiss.

Hei Yuhua whispered, “I made breakfast for you on the table. Eat it before you go to work in the morning. See you later, A’Yan. I’m leaving now.”

Ye Yuyan hummed in his sleep as if answering to his mate’s words. Hei Yuhua chuckles silently at this scene before going out of the house to meet Yun Jie and Lou Wei in disguise like him. Unlike his original silver hair, his hair right now is as black as an evening sky only his eyes remain in an argent shade of moonlight.

Yun Jie looks different as well. His face looks manlier than his original appearance. His disguise looked a few years older than his original face. A man of few words with a fierce gaze as if staring at his prey. His role is to be a contract killer after all.

Lou Wei also looked a bit different. His hair is dyed blonde like those international mafias. Fake tattoos were also pasted on his back arm and chest. There is a tiger on his back, a snake on his arm, and a scarlet spider lily on his chest. But these things could only be seen if he removes his skirt in public. It’s just that he controlled his dummy in the prison as someone who is a complete thug who acts like a mafia leader with lots of little brothers. His second identity is to be an imprisoned mafia leader from an extinct family.

.....

Hei Yuhua on the other hand only changes a few features on his face. Well, their disguise is an effect caused by a pull Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan redeemed using their points for their daily mission. Last year, they had repeatedly done their daily missions and gathered a large number of Nether Points. Someone was exchanged for special props like those Alter face Pills, Memory Erasing light, etc.

They’ve also saved some points for emergency cases. As System Yue and System Yang had predicted, the things in the system mall were extremely useful not only for the two of them but also for their team.

At the parking lot, Hei Yuhua entered the only car that was on. He sat in the back seat as both the driver’s and passenger’s seats were taken by Lou Wei who was drinking and Yun Jie seated in the passenger’s seat with a laptop on his lap. He is currently hacking on their routes’ surveillance camera. They wanted to get to the prison without anyone noticing.

Yun Jie said, “Brother, there is another IP address controlling the surveillance recording. Should I go fight for authority?”

“No need. The whole car was sprayed with special paint. It is invisible at night and in the morning. Let’s just go without worries. Just be careful not to bump into Brother Lou.” said Hei Yuhua.

“Please leave it to me, Saozi!” said Lou Wei.

Hei Yuhua warned. “The effects of the Alter Face Pill are three days. I’ve given you some extras and the antidote for it just in case you need to reveal your identity. Even though the prison had been cleaned up by us, the chances of spies escaping our eyes are still possible. Don’t lower your guards in there.”

“Yes, sir!” responded Lou Wei and Yun Jie.

Hei Yuhua slightly closed his eyes as if he was going to nap and said, “Let’s go. It’s time.”

Vroom~

The car left the building in the middle of dawn. The sun hadn’t completely risen in the sky and it was still all dark outside. At this time, people are very rarely awake. So their journey to the prison is smooth and unhindered. The car was parked at the special parking designated for them. They’ve arranged this underground warehouse under the prison just in case a situation where they needed to escape happens.

In the Hidden Underground Parking under the City Prison.

They parked in one of the open spaces and got down of the car. Afterward, System Yang materialized before them. Ever since Yun Ming and Warden Lou surrendered the control over the vessels to the original Yun Jie and Lou Wei, they have known of the existence of Lord Hei, System Yang, and System Yue.

As a special gift for letting Yun Ming and Warden Lou enter their bodies, System Yue helped them regain their past life’s memories. Only unlike right now that they had gotten closer and even become lovers, their past selves aren’t the same at all.

In the original plot, Lou Wei stood by the side of his captain Ye Yuyan who chose to get married to Yi Rouya in the original plot. Yun Jie who had become the villain after Hei Yuhua’s death left Aster and became a killer for hire. He only seeks revenge on Ye Yuyan and all his plans were made just to take Ye Yuyan’s life. An alpha named Lin Jiya became his greatest supporter and almost killed Ye Yuyan multiple times.

But because he is protected by the Protagonist Halo, killing Ye Yuyan is almost impossible. That is until Ye Huahua was accidentally killed by Yi Rouya. Ye Huahua is the only treasure left behind by his brother in this world. She is the daughter of Hei Yuhua whom Hei Yuhua loves the most in this world. So when she got killed by Yi Rouya whether it was intentionally or accidentally both Ye Yuyan and Yun Jie targeted Yi Rouya until he died.

But after Yi Rouya died, Ye Yuyan who had lost not only his fated mate and even his most beloved daughter, could no longer stay insane and asked Yun Jie to kill him as well.

Yun Jie in that timeline indeed tried to kill Ye Yuyan as he wished but before he could even pull the trigger, Lou Wei arrived on the scene and shot Yun Jie’s heart. With tears falling on his face controllably, Lou Wei runs towards Yun Jie and not after his captain.

Ye Yuyan who had gone crazy was shouting at Lou Wei saying, “Why did you shoot him? It was me! I was the one who asked him to kill me. He is supposed to kill, why did you have to shoot Yun Jie, Lao Wei!!!”

Lou Wei was dumbfounded by what he heard as he held the cooling body of Yun Jie in his arms. In the years, when they’ve worked together as a team when he is playing as a mafia and Yun Jie was the contract killer, Yun Jie saved him multiple times. Even when Yun Jie was targeting Ye Yuyan in the latter part of their lives, Yun Jie is unable to bring himself to kill Lou Wei. At his every plan, Yun Jie would make sure to lock Lou Wei somewhere whenever he confronted Ye Yuyan.

They act like a pair of lovers standing on different sides of the road. They yearn for each other but can never be together. This is because the men who stood as their leaders were opposing each other. Yun Jie and Lou Wei could only be enemies in that life.

When these memories of Yun Jie and Lou Wei were given to them, at first both became awkward with each other. As the people who received the complete memory only Yun Jie and Lou Wei know that they of that timeline were indeed enemies but at the same time ill-fated lovers. They could only become enemies and Yun Jie’s wish was also achieved.

Yun Jie’s wishes for the original plot are the following. The first wish is to take revenge for the death of his brother, Hei Yuhua. Whether it leads to death or suffering for Ye Yuyan. He accepted it all.

The second one is to kill Yi Rouya who caused Hei Yuhua’s death. After Hei Yuhua’s death, Yun Jie investigated the traces left behind by his brother and learned that the situation where Ye Yuyan had no other choice but to shoot Hei Yuhua was a carefully made scheme by Yi Rouya who worked for the Red Poppy Syndicate.

Lastly, his final wish is to die in Lou Wei’s embrace. He yearns for him, loves him yet hates him all at the same time. He wanted to feel that warmth that was given to him by Lou Wei before and in his last moments, he wanted to be in his arms. Whether it was a punishment for Lou Wei or just his selfishness for the warmth, in the end, Yun Jie achieved his final wish.

It was because of these memories that Yun Jie and Lou Wei of the present were at first awkward with each other but thanks to that one-year vacation from their bosses they had no other choice but to live together in Lou Wei’s condo which in the end led to them following their feelings and ended up being together. At least there wouldn’t be any tragedy in this timeline as both Ye Yuyan and Hei Yuhua had also successfully become a married couple. There is no need to become enemies in this life.

At the underground parking, the three met System Yang who will be explaining the plans to take over their dummies. A small glowing sun appeared in thin air and started talking.

[Listen. The plan to take over your new identities is simple but needs accuracy in time. We only have a bit of time to complete this plan.

I would freeze the time of the world but only for 5 minutes. In that 5 minutes, first, use the teleportation talisman I had given to you. It would directly teleport you inside the cell in which your dummies are. Paste the Deactivation Talisman on the dummy and they would turn into a paper figure. Afterwards, you must eat the paper figure so you can receive the memories your dummy has and understand the situation you are in inside the prison.

Everything must be completed in 5 minutes. If you failed there would be chaos in the prison for seeing two people who look the same in one cell. Tell me if you are ready, and I will stop the time you are.]

Hei Yuhua said, “I’m ready.”

Yun Jie just nods his head, and Lou Wei just flashed a silly smile.

[Time Scroll Activated. Time Stop.]

Another flash came out of the opened scroll used by System Yang. The world was once again halted by an overwhelming power coming from the scroll. Everything in the world had stopped except for a few who had special means to be not affected. Of course! World hoppers aren’t affected by this, they are souls from outside this world so their time moves differently from this one. Plus, they had a system to protect them from this time deviation. They should be the ones unfrozen in that short 5 minutes.

That night, Hei Yuhua, Lou Wei, and Yun Jie successfully took over their dummies and became the youngest serial killer, a mafia leader, and a contract killer.

Within the duration of Time Stop.

Somewhere within the city.

Lin Jiya was playing in the international stocks market when his laptop froze. It wasn’t only his laptop but everything around him that had stopped. He panicked for a moment.

Lin Jiya asked his system, “What is happening, System!? How could time around me stop!”

His System, the little crow answered, [It is not only your surroundings but the whole world stopped instead.]

“What!? Is that even possible!? Even I as a Highgod couldn’t do such a thing!?” Exclaimed Lin Jiya.

[Of course, you can’t! Even in Vearth, there is only one Esteemed Being who can do such a thing! But the duration of this time freeze is short. Only 5 minutes. This must be a time scroll instead of an Esteemed Being doing something.]

Lin Jiya asked, “A time scroll is this powerful?”

[One with world AOE, yes it is extremely powerful but none of that kind of scroll cannot be redeemed in the system mall. It must have been manmade. Anyway, it’s those high-ranking Gods who must have done it. Just continue playing with your money after the effect is gone.]

Five minutes had passed and everything had started to move again. Lin Jiya continued playing with this world’s international stock market as he couldn’t leave the world unless those important beings did.

“Well~ I had no intention to get involved anyway. Let’s just get some more money~” said Lin Jiya.

Unknown to him that this pass time of him, would get him involved in the storm brewing in this world. Like they say money moves everything in this world.
