This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Take off their clothes?

Even in the Federation, where men could marry men and undressing was often regarded as a sign of interest, forcing someone to strip completely naked was deeply humiliating.

Let alone on Blue Star.

Yet now, this guard issued the order as though it were perfectly natural.

It was a method of control—shattering a person's dignity and attacking them mentally.

Whether it was whipping people or casually issuing humiliating commands, all of it was part of conditioning prisoners day after day, turning them into obedient walking corpses.

Livestock.

Objects.

Anything but human beings.

Judging by how practiced he was when giving the order, this was clearly not the first time.

If they had truly been prisoners who had spent years here, perhaps they would already have been tortured into obeying instinctively.

But they weren't.

On the contrary, every one of them was a proud genius with a temper.

Several hands instantly clenched into fists.

Eugene's expression darkened. Duan Yuchen pressed his lips tightly together. Annie's face filled with anger. Wanrenzhan's body went rigid, and his foot shifted unconsciously, as though he were about to fight someone to the death.

—They could barely suppress the urge to attack.

Seeing that they didn't move, the guard flew into a rage and lashed out with his whip, raising his voice.

"You dare disobey? Looking for death! Looks like you want to die and clear out this room for—"

He Yu suddenly smiled, his expression gentle.

"Please calm down, Guard. We'll take them off."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and placed his right fingers on the button at his collar.

Everyone froze.

They hadn't expected He Yu to be so obedient.

Their gazes instinctively shifted toward him, their expressions slightly bewildered.

【Bullet Screen: "Holy shit! He God is actually this obedient?"】

【Bullet Screen: "Nonsense. What else can they do if they don't obey right now? They're restrained and can't use equipment at all. And judging by the guard's words, it sounds like disobedience means death?"】

【Bullet Screen: "Damn! This round is way too hard! That guard isn't human!"】

【Bullet Screen: "They can only obey for now, then observe the prison, trigger more information, and look for a way to escape."】

【Bullet Screen: "So... let's watch He God take off his clothes first! Slurp, slurp."】

【Bullet Screen: "I feel furious, but also—this is exciting."】

Even the way He Yu undressed was beautiful.

His slender fingers, their joints clearly defined, rested against the buttons as he undid them one-handed, starting from the first and working his way down.

It was an extremely simple movement, yet when he did it, it became exceptionally pleasing to watch, languid and careless.

He was simply too good-looking.

Even dressed in a prison uniform, he wore it with a lazy sense of fashion that made him stand out from everyone else.

As he undid the buttons with one hand, his eyes lowered slightly. The messy strands of hair over his forehead obscured half his brows and eyes.

His head tilted faintly. The rimless glasses rested coldly and elegantly on the bridge of his nose, while the contour of his profile was smooth and flawless, like a painting.

Everyone's gaze followed his fingers, moving from the first button to the last...

The buttons were soon completely undone.

His collar parted, revealing glimpses of his collarbones and pale chest.

The prison uniform was loose, so even after being unbuttoned, it didn't completely expose what lay beneath.

Only his collarbones, chest, and abdominal muscles appeared faintly through the opening.

He Yu was a youth filled with contradictions.

Even taking off a single garment became intensely sensual when he did it, yet he didn't appear feminine in the slightest.

Every movement was full of charm, balanced perfectly between alluring and handsome.

The guard stared at him without blinking.

Wanrenzhan and the others were also transfixed.

The anger on their faces froze, their minds going blank for an instant as every pair of eyes instinctively fixed on He Yu.

Wanrenzhan swallowed.

For a moment, he forgot who he was and where he stood.

【Bullet Screen: "Holy shit!! My wife is devastatingly beautiful!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Ahhh, I can call him husband too! Oh my god, he's too gorgeous."】

【Bullet Screen: "Awooo, so beautiful!"】

【Bullet Screen: "My god! Are we really allowed to see what comes next?!"】

Once the buttons were undone, He Yu gripped the fabric and pulled lightly.

The top was about to slide off, and his beautiful collarbones and shoulders were on the verge of being revealed...

Everyone watched without blinking.

They were all men wearing the exact same clothes.

Yet He Yu was simply different.

He made it impossible to look away.

"Bang—"

The instant the guard collapsed, He Yu pulled his clothes shut.

His eyes suddenly became sharp.

He lifted his chin, and even the rimless glasses couldn't conceal the fierce edge bursting from his gaze.

Killing intent appeared in full.

Once the clothing closed, the fine body that had only just been faintly visible was completely hidden again.

The alluring youth had transformed into a blade.

A long saber drawn from its sheath, icy and razor-sharp.

Everyone froze.

Only then did they see Zhen Xing standing behind the fallen guard, calmly withdrawing his arm.

When He Yu had said "we will," he had given Zhen Xing a glance.

Zhen Xing hadn't said anything, merely nodding so slightly that it was nearly imperceptible.

And so, He Yu had begun undressing to attract the guard's attention, while Zhen Xing silently circled behind him.

Not only had the guard failed to notice—

Even the others present and the audience had failed to see it!

—Well, Ling Buchen had also noticed.

But people always overlooked him unconsciously, so no one paid him any attention.

At the exact moment the guard's mind went completely blank, Zhen Xing raised his hand and struck the back of his neck with a knife-hand chop, using his full strength and knocking him unconscious instantly.

Now, He Yu's face was cold.

As he calmly buttoned his clothes again, he looked down at the person lying on the floor with an icy gaze, as though staring at a corpse.

Once the buttons were fastened, his right hand swept outward lightly.

"Do it. Don't leave any obvious marks."

Everyone froze for two seconds.

Then they all charged forward at once and began beating the guard on the floor.

He Yu said, "Hit his head."

Wanrenzhan reluctantly withdrew his disappointed gaze.

So...

He Yu hadn't truly obeyed and started taking off his clothes.

After the disappointment came fury.

His eyes widened as he turned and lunged at the guard on the ground, his fist already swinging.

Every strike landed on the man's head.

Wanrenzhan's natural combat power was high, his body powerful, and his fists hard as stone.

If Duan Yuchen hadn't restrained him, he might have smashed the man's head into pulp.

Seven people surrounded the guard and beat him mercilessly.

All of them followed He Yu's instructions, focusing mainly on the head while trying not to leave obvious external marks.

After being struck repeatedly in the skull, even if the man woke up later, he would probably remain dizzy for a very long time.

He Yu leaned against the wall, hands in his pockets, watching coldly.

The audience: "..."

【Bullet Screen: "Damn! As expected of He God. I knew he couldn't possibly be that obedient."】

【Bullet Screen: "Ahhh, he was devastatingly beautiful just now, and now he's devastatingly handsome."】

【Bullet Screen: "My god, that moment his eyes changed, that moment he waved for the others to attack... sob, sob, my wife hit me right in the face with how handsome he is!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "...Zhen Xing, couldn't you have waited a little longer before knocking him out??"】

【Bullet Screen: "Forget it. He Yu's wife can take it off for me when he gets home."】

【Bullet Screen: "The blue-eyed person says: You're all licking my wife without even asking me? Hahaha."】

—

Once the beating was over, everyone felt much better.

Eugene looked at He Yu and blinked.

"What do we do next? How do we deal with him?"

He Yu walked toward the guard lying on the floor like a corpse.

His foot stepped calmly onto the back of the man's hand before moving past it.

"Throw him under the bed for now. We'll go outside and investigate the situation."

The system hadn't provided complete information.

One of its rules had said—

【This match contains many hidden rules. The system will only provide prompts after a rule has been triggered. Contestants must discover everything themselves.】

That meant there were still many things they needed to explore.

Only by coming into contact with important information could they trigger the system's rule notifications.

This was extremely dangerous.

If they unknowingly violated a taboo or broke a rule that had yet to be announced, the consequences could be disastrous.

—The Kill the Prisoner instance truly had been designed to kill them.

He Yu stepped over the guard and glanced back.

His gaze happened to land on the whip lying beside the man's foot.

His eyes darkened.

A whip...

Cheng Zhao's weapon had also been a whip.

The instant the guard had lashed out at them, murderous hostility had surged through He Yu.

He had wanted to kill this NPC directly.

But because of the special warning about hidden rules, He Yu had ultimately restrained himself.

Before understanding the situation, they couldn't kill people carelessly.

He Yu left the cramped bedroom.

Behind him, Duan Yuchen extended Wanrenzhan's bed again.

Wanrenzhan kicked the guard underneath it and hid him there, then immediately followed He Yu.

All eight of them moved together.

Outside the bedroom was a long, narrow corridor.

The corridor was silver-white and highly technological, but a single glance was enough to tell that the walls were extremely sturdy.

There were dorm rooms on both sides of theirs.

Zhen Xing explained in a low voice, "We live next door in 706."

He Yu looked up.

The door behind them was marked "705." The one farther in was "706," while the outer room was "704."

His gaze paused briefly on the first digit.

Seven...

Why did the numbers begin with seven?

Did it have some special meaning?

After memorizing it, he continued forward.

The door to Room 704 was open.

Breathing could be heard inside, but no one spoke.

Wanrenzhan began, "What's go—"

Eugene interrupted, "Shh. Lower your voice. There are people inside. Four of them."

As someone from Mechanical Planet, Eugene couldn't use equipment right now, but some of his basic sensory abilities remained.

The bracelet weakened them, but at close range, he could still sense others.

Wanrenzhan immediately fell silent.

He Yu nodded without speaking.

The eight of them quietly continued forward, moving from 705 toward 704 and 703.

When they looked up, a small red dot swept across them from ahead.

Duan Yuchen lowered his voice.

"Surveillance. There are cameras in the corridor. Do we keep going?"

Before He Yu could answer, Zhen Xing replied quietly,

"Keep going. We've already come out, so we've already been recorded."

Since the cameras had already caught them, they might as well gather some information before returning.

The eight continued forward.

After a few steps, Ling Buchen suddenly stopped.

No one else noticed, but He Yu did.

He looked toward him questioningly.

Ling Buchen said, "There are no windows."

Everyone: "!"

Only then did they realize—

There truly weren't any windows!

Ling Buchen looked at Zhen Xing.

"Do Federation prisons have windows?"

Zhen Xing hesitated.

Clearly, he wasn't completely certain either.

Qu Wu answered quietly,

"They do. I don't know about special prisons, but ordinary prisons always have them. Even if the bedrooms don't have windows, the corridor should at least have some. People can't remain in a completely enclosed environment forever."

There should indeed have been windows.

Yet not only were there none in their living quarters, there wasn't even the slightest trace of one along this long corridor.

Room numbers beginning with seven.

No windows...

Eugene frowned and added another detail.

"No windows, completely sealed, and all the light comes from lamps."

The corridor was as bright as day, but it was entirely artificial illumination.

They were trapped in a narrow, enclosed area with no windows and no sunlight.

The others nodded, mentally recording every detail.

They continued forward.

Starting from 705, the rooms ahead were 704, 703, 702, and 701.

Upon reaching 701, they came to the end of the corridor.

"We can't get out." Wanrenzhan frowned.

A large iron door blocked the way ahead.

It was sealed tightly, without even the smallest gap.

Eugene cautiously reached out and touched it.

The instant he made contact, electricity surged through him.

His eyes nearly rolled back as he almost fainted.

The current was extremely powerful.

Duan Yuchen grabbed him and pulled him back, only to be shocked so badly that his body twitched as well.

Eugene bared his teeth, unable to make a sound.

Only after a long moment did he manage to speak.

"This thing is electrified. It's extremely dangerous, and it's very sturdy. We can't pull it open at all."

Qu Wu asked, "Is it to stop us from escaping?"

Annie hated non-combat instances like this.

He preferred straightforward combat rounds with simple rules, not troublesome and dangerous instances like the current one.

He scratched his hair irritably.

"We have to guard against the killer, yet we can't investigate the prison properly. Just looking at this door tells you escaping will be difficult. The prison is guarding us extremely tightly."

Their mission counted as a victory as long as they escaped.

Based on previous experience, the simpler a task appeared, the harder it actually was.

"Prison escape" would undoubtedly be difficult.

Beside him, Duan Yuchen shook his head.

"Not necessarily."

The others looked at him.

He explained,

"Escaping is the second step. Before escaping, we still have the first step..."

The first step—

Find the killer.

Before identifying the killer, even if they found a way to escape, they wouldn't dare use it.

If the killer followed them through, everyone else would be eliminated!

At this thought, everyone's expressions darkened.

They carefully examined the people around them.

No one looked like the killer.

Yet everyone looked like the killer...

Zhen Xing's expression grew grim.

He moved closer to He Yu and lowered his voice.

"The system is truly vicious."

He Yu pressed his lips together without speaking, but clearly understood what Zhen Xing meant.

At the transfer station, he had said—

"Break the rules, overthrow the system, and leave together."

But in this instance, a single "killer" setting had nearly destroyed the little trust they had managed to build.

Although they were currently moving together, none of them truly trusted anyone else.

The more displeased He Yu became, the calmer he appeared.

His black eyes were steady and composed, and his voice was hoarse.

"If this is all it has, then it's still nowhere near enough to make me despair."

As long as the system didn't directly erase him, he would deal with whatever move it made.

There was nothing to fear.

Hearing that, Zhen Xing said nothing more.

He simply remained beside He Yu, making his stance clear.

Ling Buchen stayed on He Yu's other side throughout, inconspicuous as always.

Yet no one dared underestimate someone who possessed a divine-grade treasure.

"What's this?" Eugene was inspecting everything around them.

When he noticed several sheets of paper posted beside the door, he immediately approached and began reading carefully.

The others crowded around as well.

Three sheets were attached to the door.

The first was a warning:

"Careful! The door is electrified. If you get shocked to death, you deserve it."

The second sheet contained the prison rules.

Eugene read aloud,

"First: Prisoners must follow the daily schedule. Violating the schedule or refusing to obey order will be regarded as a violation of prison rules."

Wanrenzhan continued,

"Second: No wandering around. No hiding personal items. Do not damage the bracelet. Do not damage public property. No forming factions, gathering to cause trouble, or gathering to chat. Any of these will be regarded as a violation of prison rules."

Duan Yuchen read,

"Third: Do not resist guards. Do not attack guards, the warden, or other staff members. Any such action will be regarded as a violation of prison rules."

Qu Wu continued,

"Fourth: All prison arrangements must be obeyed. Any form of resistance will be regarded as a violation of prison rules."

Annie read,

"Those who violate prison rules will be taken away for punishment!"

Everyone looked toward the final line, which was written in large characters:

"Prison escape is forbidden. Any escapee discovered will be killed immediately!"

At the same time, they received a system notification—

【Prison rules triggered! Special reminder: Please obey the rules, or you will face prison punishment. Once a contestant dies, the instance will be considered failed, and they will be permanently eliminated!】

Everyone's expressions immediately became ugly, their gazes turning cold.

These prison rules clearly intended to turn them into puppets.

Whatever the guards or warden ordered, they had to obey.

They couldn't wander around.

They couldn't even gather to talk.

Their movements were severely restricted.

Eugene then looked at the schedule posted beside it.

It listed their full routine from morning until night—

Wake up at 5:00 a.m.

Breakfast at 5:20 a.m.

Assemble at 5:50 a.m.

6:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m., training time.

11:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m., lunch.

12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m., midday rest.

1:10 p.m.-6:00 p.m., training time.

6:00 p.m.-6:30 p.m., dinner.

6:30 p.m.-11:00 p.m., special arrangements.

After reading it, they all fell silent.

Wanrenzhan stepped forward, his eyes thoughtful.

"Is this really a prisoner's life? Why does it feel... strange?"

Qu Wu slowly exhaled.

"I don't know how this instance is structured, but Federation prisoners don't live like this. Prisoners like us are usually sent to mine or perform labor."

Prisoners were people who had committed crimes.

Those who made mistakes had to be punished.

And in the eyes of Federation citizens, training wasn't punishment.

"The schedule really is strange. Prisoners spend the entire day training? Logically, training shouldn't be part of prison life. What kind of training is it? And what does 'special arrangements' mean?" Eugene looked deeply thoughtful.

No one could answer his questions.

The others couldn't guess the reason either.

Zhen Xing suddenly understood.

"So it's currently midday rest. That's why everyone in the rooms is lying down, no one's coming out, and no one's speaking..."

The NPC prisoners might not actually be asleep.

But they were obeying the rules, lying motionless on their beds and following the schedule strictly without violating prison regulations.

They had made quite a lot of noise outside.

The fact that no one came out only proved how terrified these people were of the rules.

Not only had they remained still, no one had even poked their head out to look.

If not for their unstable breathing, the contestants might have assumed they were all asleep.

Wanrenzhan looked puzzled and turned toward He Yu.

"They're following the schedule this strictly, so someone must be watching them. Then why have we been standing in this corridor for so long without anyone stopping us?"

Everyone exchanged looks.

Could it be...

The person who was supposed to stop them was currently unconscious under the bed?

The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Everyone: "..."

He Yu had been staring at the door the entire time without speaking.

His gaze was unfocused, clearly lost in thought.

Eugene curiously moved closer and stared at the door with him.

"What are you looking at? Is something wrong?"

The others immediately turned toward it as well.

The door looked perfectly normal.

Aside from being electrified, there was nothing unusual about it.

He Yu suddenly spoke.

"Don't you think this door is strange?"

Everyone froze.

They looked at him in confusion, then at the door, unable to see what was strange about it...

"What's wrong with it?" Duan Yuchen leaned closer.

He Yu pointed at the door, then at the surveillance camera, and finally toward Room 701, whose door stood open while no sound came from inside.

His voice was calm.

"There are cameras and an electrified, extremely sturdy door, yet only one guard. And the people they're defending against are prisoners who lie in bed with their doors open, obeying the schedule even when they can't sleep."

Even if they wanted to prevent prisoners from escaping, there was no need to install a door at the end of every corridor.

Everyone: "!!!"

Right.

That was indeed strange.

They had walked through the corridor and stood here for so long, yet not a single person had come out to watch.

Every prisoner remained on their bed, silently "resting."

There had also only been one guard.

After they knocked him unconscious, no other guard appeared.

So much time had passed, yet no one had come to investigate.

It seemed the prison wasn't particularly wary of prisoners who had already spent many years there and had been successfully conditioned.

Yet...

They had still installed an especially sturdy electrified door, sealing the corridor tightly.

Its location was also strange.

There were eight rooms in this row.

The cramped corridor and tiny rooms held only thirty-two prisoners in total.

The entire prison definitely held more than thirty-two people.

Even the dormitory couldn't possibly consist of only this one row of rooms.

The door wasn't positioned outside the entire dormitory area.

It blocked only a single corridor containing eight rooms.

Was such strict security truly necessary?

"This is suspicious. We'll keep it in mind." Duan Yuchen glanced at the time on his bracelet. "Midday rest ends in a few minutes. Should we quietly play the role of prisoners for now and continue gathering information?"

He Yu nodded.

No one objected.

They walked back from 701.

When they reached 705, everyone stopped.

Inside was Room 706, where Zhen Xing's group lived.

Farther in were Rooms 707 and 708.

At the very end was a shared bathing room.

Eugene glanced at it and clicked his tongue twice.

"So if we need to bathe, we'll all have to do it together?"

In the Top Talent Show, they ordinarily didn't need to worry about hygiene.

But this instance had its own setting.

And they were prisoners who had to be "obedient."

If a guard ordered them to bathe, they could only do it together.

Wanrenzhan glanced at He Yu.

He clearly thought of something, because he immediately looked up at the ceiling, the tips of his ears turning red.

Zhen Xing remained expressionless.

"So what do we do with the guard inside?"

He Yu stared at the time on his bracelet for a while.

Only when there was one minute left until one o'clock did he enter the room and have Eugene and the others drag the guard out.

"How do we handle him? If we kill him, we have nowhere to dispose of the body."

"We can't kill him. We don't understand the prison well enough and don't know what chain reaction his death might cause."

"But once he wakes up, he'll definitely make trouble for us again."

Just as everyone wondered how He Yu intended to deal with the guard...

He Yu crouched down and shook him.

The indifference on his face instantly transformed into deep concern.

His voice became anxious—

"Guard, wake up. Are you alright?"

"Why did you suddenly faint? Should we take you to see a doctor?"

As he spoke, he shook the guard again.

The man, already dizzy and suffering from an exploding headache, was barely shaken awake.

He Yu continued shaking him.

The guard became even dizzier.
