This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

“This time, I will personally plant the Green Camp's flag and let its banner fly over Lilu City.” He Yu puffed out the round little chest of his white dumpling body, his face filled with solemn determination.

Chashu opened his mouth. He was worried that He Yu might expose his identity...

But then he remembered that He Yu had already revealed the identity of the "fake Green Camp General" to the Red Camp. In that case, planting the flag should no longer be a problem, right?

Previously, they had failed to capture Gao Jianming. Not only had the General helped them survive when the Red Camp attacked, he had even delivered Gao Jianming into their hands and allowed them to retake Lilu City.

Although they had lost South City in exchange, it wasn't a bad trade.

City Lord Chashu nodded solemnly.

"Understood, General."

As if remembering something, Chashu suddenly gritted his teeth.

"That Gao Jianming really did try to escape again today! Luckily we've been watching him the whole time, and we beat him into such a weakened state. Otherwise, he definitely would've gotten away!"

He Yu's expression remained grave, yet there wasn't the slightest ripple in his heart.

Gao Jianming wasn't particularly stupid, but he was selfish to the core and always assumed the worst possible intentions in everyone else. If He Yu had been in his position, he would have committed to one camp from the very beginning and never changed sides, no matter what happened.

Even if that camp would kill him after achieving complete victory.

He was here to complete the instance mission. Why think so far ahead? His ability was incredibly useful, yet because of his own foolishness, he had driven himself into utter despair.

He Yu didn't pity him.

On the contrary, He Yu wanted him dead.

Any contestant who disgraced Blue Star—if He Yu encountered one, there was no chance he would allow them to walk out of this instance alive!

Besides, both Ling Buchen's old grudge and Zhen Xing's new one still had to be settled with Gao Jianming.

He Yu asked, "How do you plan to deal with him?"

Chashu answered without the slightest hesitation, his teeth clenched.

"Kill him! Heiteng and I both agree. His ability is useful, but the man himself can't be trusted. Killing him means he can't help us—but he also can't help the Red Camp."

Without Gao Jianming, conquering cities wouldn't have been so easy for the Green Camp.

But likewise, the Red Camp wouldn't have suddenly come to seize cities either. Everything would simply return to an even playing field.

Before Gao Jianming ever appeared, the Green Camp had been firmly in the lead.

They were confident that even without him, they could still achieve victory.

—Since that was the case, there was no need to keep around such a two-faced source of trouble.

He Yu pondered for a moment before his black bean-like eyes turned toward Chashu.

"Where is Gao Jianming now?"

"We've locked him up. People are watching him without taking their eyes off him for even a second. Heiteng said we'll hand him over to you, General, so you can personally sentence him to death."

Of course, having He Yu "personally execute" Gao Jianming didn't mean making him kill someone himself.

It simply meant having him give the order for Gao Jianming's execution.

Gao Jianming had repeatedly tried to frame He Yu. By leaving him for He Yu to deal with, the Green Camp was also declaring that they would always trust General He Yu and would never be swayed by the schemes of a petty villain.

A smile appeared on He Yu's face.

However, he shook his head.

"Since you're watching him, don't kill him just yet. Leave him alive for a little longer. As long as he can't escape, you can kill him at any time."

Chashu looked puzzled.

He couldn't understand why He Yu didn't want Gao Jianming killed immediately.

Why keep such a troublesome person alive?

Still...

Considering the malice Gao Jianming had shown toward General He Yu, the General probably wouldn't let him live much longer anyway.

[Bullet Screen: "...I have a feeling He Yu is about to pull something again."]

[Bullet Screen: "Of course he is. The only reason Gao Jianming is still alive is because He Yu still has a use for him."]

[Bullet Screen: "Honestly, I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Gao Jianming. At this point he's completely become He Yu's tool."]

[Bullet Screen: "Don't forget what He Yu said—he's going to squeeze every last bit of value out of Gao Jianming. Every. Last. Bit."]

—

The Green Camp had reclaimed the city.

Although the Red Camp still hadn't planted its flag, Lilu City was already in chaos.

The people here weren't only those He Yu had brought—there were also the soldiers from South City.

Those from South City desperately wanted to recapture their own city. They had already lost it once, and if they didn't take it back soon, the King would certainly punish them.

Heiteng wasn't here, leaving Chashu so busy he was running in circles.

Even so, he still found time to issue an order—

"No one is allowed to harm the Black Camp's toys."

The Green Camp also knew that He Yu was still "playing the role" of a toy.

Naturally, they would assist General He Yu. After all, they firmly believed he belonged to them.

Besides, the Green Camp shared the same concern as the Red Camp.

After Heiteng returned, he would report the matter to the King. As for how it would ultimately be handled, that would depend on the King's decision.

Until then, everything would be left entirely in He Yu's hands.

The Green Camp busied itself restoring order throughout Lilu City.

Outside the city, the Red Camp quietly remained hidden, waiting for He Yu's next command.

Meanwhile, beneath the city, the Black Camp was growing increasingly anxious.

Unfortunately, He Yu still hadn't appeared.

At that moment, He Yu stood inside one of the castle's rooms.

In front of him lay the Wind Fire Wheels, the Mask, the Large and Small Hammers, the Chain, and the Blade.

Qiong and Ling Buchen were monitoring the Red Camp palace.

Wanrenzhan was waiting outside the city together with the Red Camp forces.

Gedai, Siya, and several others remained in the Black Camp.

Most of the others were gathered here.

Eugene analyzed the current situation.

"Based on yesterday's conclusions, we'll probably have to combine the inheritances of all three camps in the end. That's extremely difficult—we have no idea how to merge them. Besides, each inheritance is under the King's control. Stealing the inheritances from both the Red and Green Camps while they're so heavily guarded would be nearly impossible."

At that exact moment, Ling Buchen reported through the team chat—

"We've finally seen the inheritance... but I don't think it's possible to obtain it."

Eugene immediately asked, "What happened?"

Ling Buchen took a deep breath before replying softly through the team channel.

"Nobody is guarding the inheritance, but it's surrounded by a huge number of pieces of equipment, forming something like a protective dome around it. The Red Camp King enters a sealed room, steps inside the dome, and creates the flags."

Qiong couldn't enter that sealed room.

If she hadn't managed to catch a glimpse inside while the King opened the door, they probably wouldn't even know what it looked like.

The King never took the inheritance outside.

Whenever he made flags, he entered personally.

With that many pieces of equipment surrounding it—and with none of them currently able to use equipment—

Stealing the inheritance?

That was nothing but a dream.

Eugene relayed Ling Buchen's report.

Duan Yuchen frowned.

"Did either of you see what the inheritance actually looked like?"

Ling Buchen answered,

"I only got a rough look... It looked kind of like... an ear?"

"An ear?"

Everyone exchanged bewildered looks.

The inheritance was alive...

And it looked like an ear...

Could it actually be a living creature?

Zhante's blade swayed slightly, sounding irritated.

"So this instance is basically impossible, right? Do we really have no choice but to help the Black Camp win?"

Cheng Zhao looked disgusted.

"With them? What fighting strength do they even have?"

The Black Camp was simply too weak.

There was no way they could defeat either the Red or Green Camp.

And Cheng Zhao's own group had also been weakened. They were little more than a mob now.

Even with He Yu's brilliant mind, there was no way he could carry the Black Camp to victory.

Yuan Ze said,

"We should ask Old Pine again. Maybe we can get more information."

Eugene nodded.

"He's finally willing to talk now. He Yu, should we head underground?"

He Yu didn't answer.

He lowered his gaze toward the floor and murmured,

"No need. They've already run out of patience."

As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone looked toward the ground in confusion.

The previously flat floor suddenly bulged upward.

Then—

A single horn poked through.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle—"

The earth split apart.

A cow...

Dug its way out.

Gedai snorted loudly and proudly raised his head.

"I brought Old Pine here. He wanted to speak with all of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, pine branches stretched out from behind the calf's back.

An old, trembling voice followed.

"Gedai... I'm stuck... Give me a pull..."

Everyone: "..."

No one could possibly have imagined a meeting like this.

They hurried over to drag Old Pine out.

Unfortunately, none of them actually had hands, making the task extremely difficult.

In the end, it was the Chain—Cheng Zhao—who wrapped around the pine tree with one end and around the hammer with the other. Working together, they finally managed to pull Old Pine free.

Only then did they discover that Gedai had already dug an underground tunnel leading from the castle all the way outside—to the Black Camp's underground chamber.

Eugene gave Gedai a strange look before muttering quietly,

"Has this guy really started thinking of himself as a burrowing bull?"

Gedai turned his head.

"Eugene, what are you muttering about?"

Eugene smiled.

"Nothing. I was saying you're amazing."

Gedai glared at him, obviously furious.

"You were definitely talking behind my back!"

Duan Yuchen quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Enough arguing. Let's focus on business first. Actually, this tunnel could prove useful later."

Yuan Ze nodded in agreement.

"Old Pine, let's get to the important part."

Old Pine shook the dirt from his branches before standing upright.

Looking at He Yu, he said,

"General, since you never came, I came to find you myself. I hope you'll forgive my sudden visit. Time is simply too short."

The round little white dumpling wore an expressionless face.

"So you've finally decided to talk?"

Old Pine let out a long sigh.

He rooted himself into the ground almost instinctively, as though doing so made him feel safe.

An aged face appeared upon the plump trunk as he looked earnestly at He Yu.

"Yes."

"I have a secret."

"And now I'm willing to tell it to you, General."

Everyone immediately fell silent and gathered around.

He Yu said,

"Go ahead."

Old Pine glanced warily at Eugene and the others nearby.

His gaze was filled with vigilance.

Clearly, he didn't want them hearing the Black Camp's secret.

He had guarded it for so long that even now, he only wished to tell He Yu.

Everyone: "..."

—As if they were dying to know the Black Camp's secrets.

—If advancing weren't on the line, they wouldn't care in the slightest what secrets these people had.

Besides...

Why was only He Yu allowed to hear them?

He Yu awkwardly lifted his head.

Although he was merely a round ball without a neck, he still managed to convey the gesture.

His voice remained calm.

"You should all leave first. Old Pine and I will talk alone."

Since He Yu had spoken, everyone could only withdraw.

Gedai curled his lip.

"It's not like we're interested anyway. What's so special about it?"

After saying that, he climbed back into the tunnel.

They all departed through the underground passage.

Only after the sound of the calf's footsteps faded into the distance did Old Pine speak again.

"General... can you promise that you'll always stand with the Black Camp?"

He Yu replied expressionlessly,

"I promise that the Black Camp's toys will become human again."

That was the outcome required by their mission.

Naturally, he could guarantee it.

Old Pine interpreted those words as agreement.

After all, restoring the toys to human form was far more difficult than merely standing with the Black Camp.

A relieved smile spread across his old face.

The pine needles gently swayed.

Inside the tunnel, the calf, the Large and Small Hammers, the Mask, the Blade, the Chain, and the others—who had just claimed they weren't interested—were now lying in a perfectly neat row with their ears pressed against the ground, listening carefully.

Hearing this, Eugene curled the corner of his mouth.

Heh.

Old Pine actually thought He Yu had agreed.

What a joke.

To those who truly understood He Yu...

He hadn't agreed at all.

There was no way He Yu would permanently side with the Black Camp.

Of course...

None of them intended to point that out.

He Yu blinked his black bean-like eyes.

"So, can you tell me now?"

"What happened to the Black Camp's inheritance?"

Old Pine took a deep breath before answering honestly.

"It's gone."

"The Black Camp's inheritance really is gone."

"But it didn't die."

"I think..."

"It disappeared."

He Yu frowned slightly.

Disappeared?

So even Old Pine didn't know how to find the Black Camp's inheritance?

Old Pine continued.

"Two hundred years ago, the Red and Green Camps discovered that something had gone wrong with our inheritance, so they attacked our capital."

"Our King didn't stay because he wanted to."

"He stayed because he couldn't leave."

He Yu nodded, signaling for him to continue.

Their deductions had all been correct.

The Black Camp King hadn't remained because he chose to.

Something had happened that prevented him from leaving.

Old Pine sighed.

"Ever since the inheritance began weakening, the King had been trying to restore it."

"Then one day..."

"The inheritance completely disappeared."

"The King nearly collapsed."

"But when the inheritance vanished..."

"It left one thing behind."

"What?"

"A flag."
