This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Eugene: "..."

He blinked.

"So... all of you were already awake?"

Wanrenzhan's voice turned sinister.

"We just woke up. So... what exactly were you three doing?"

He looked ready to sharpen his blade and chop Eugene and Ling Buchen to pieces at any moment.

He Yu slowly sat up, kicked Eugene once, then glanced at Ling Buchen.

Ling Buchen silently climbed off the bed and sat to one side.

Feeling the kick, Eugene somehow interpreted it as flirting. He deliberately cried out loudly,

"Ow!"

Rubbing the spot where He Yu had kicked him, Eugene wiggled his eyebrows at him. His eyes curved into charming peach blossoms.

...As though they had really been doing something.

He still had no intention of getting off the bed.

Wanrenzhan couldn't stand it any longer.

With a dark expression, he grabbed Eugene and dragged him down.

No one stopped him.

Everyone simply watched coldly.

Eugene had become so irritating that he'd successfully earned everyone's resentment.

He Yu said expressionlessly,

"Business."

Only then did Eugene dust off his clothes and become serious.

He muttered quietly,

"So you were all awake... Honestly, why didn't anyone say anything?"

Although he complained, everyone understood the reason.

All of them had remained lying in bed, waiting.

No one dared act rashly.

What had just happened was too shocking.

They all needed time to process it.

He Yu sat properly and pushed up his rimless glasses.

"We don't have anywhere suitable to talk. Since no guards have appeared to stop us so far, we'll continue like this."

He glanced at the time.

Only ten minutes remained before eleven o'clock.

"Let's keep it brief."

Zhen Xing sat beside him.

His voice was hoarse.

"I woke up less than three minutes ago. While I was lying in bed thinking, I realized Eugene wasn't in Room 706. I guessed he'd come here, so I followed."

One sentence.

A simple explanation.

After he had left Room 706, Duan Yuchen and Qu Wu had climbed out of bed as well and followed him over.

Hearing that, Wanrenzhan finally stopped glaring at Eugene.

Instead, he looked completely confused.

"What happened?"

"Why did I fall asleep?"

Eugene looked at him strangely.

"You don't feel anything else?"

"You don't remember anything?"

Wanrenzhan shook his head.

After a pause, he added,

"My body feels... strange somehow."

"But I don't know what's wrong."

Eugene sucked in a sharp breath.

He Yu looked at him.

"You first."

"We only have ten minutes."

Eugene immediately explained,

"We were all taken away."

"The bracelets kept us unconscious."

"But I'm from Mechanical Planet. My body is different. Some of my body parts function like machines."

"So I know what happened."

He didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"Zhen Xing, Wanrenzhan, and I were taken separately to the tenth floor."

"Because I'm mechanical, they couldn't perform the experiment on me."

"So they sent me back."

"Only Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan stayed there."

He Yu glanced at Eugene.

Eugene continued,

"I came back a long time ago."

"I waited in the room for ages before He Yu and Ling Buchen returned."

"No one was watching us, so I hid under He Yu's bed and waited for him to wake up."

Zhen Xing slowly spoke four words.

"Human experimentation."

Yes.

Death Prison wasn't merely a prison.

It was also a facility for conducting experiments on living humans.

No wonder no one ever left alive.

No wonder everything about this prison felt abnormal.

They weren't merely prisoners.

They were experimental subjects.

Duan Yuchen inhaled sharply.

"So... our bodies have probably all been modified."

Ling Buchen finally understood.

Remembering what the instructors had said during training, he murmured,

"No wonder they said we had abnormal reactions..."

"They meant abnormal reactions to the experiments."

According to the dungeon's background and the instructors' conversation, they had all been "selected."

That selection required certain physical standards.

Originally, their bodies had met those standards.

However, once they entered the dungeon, their combat power became their own real combat power—

far lower than the original qualified data.

The instructors hadn't found that strange.

They'd simply assumed the discrepancy was an abnormal reaction.

That alone proved something.

Their dungeon identities had already undergone experimental body modification.

...It was extremely bad news.

...Which meant even more unimaginable things might still happen.

He Yu looked toward Eugene again.

"Because of your mechanical body..."

"Dr. Ganlun became furious."

"He lost his temper."

"Didn't he?"

He remembered the conversation he had overheard before losing consciousness.

At the time, Dr. Ganlun had just exploded in anger.

The researchers hadn't dared disturb him again.

Instead, they simply sent He Yu and Ling Buchen back.

Quite accidentally...

That had helped them.

Eugene's eyes lit up.

He nodded vigorously.

"Exactly!"

"He got angry."

"Afterward, they dragged me out."

"Wanrenzhan and Zhen Xing stayed behind for the experiments."

Wanrenzhan rubbed his aching head irritably.

"I don't remember anything."

"I only vaguely heard two sentences."

"They said I was very strong..."

"...and wanted to increase the dosage to see whether I'd die."

He Yu immediately turned toward Wanrenzhan.

His brows suddenly furrowed.

"Lower your head."

Wanrenzhan blinked in confusion before obediently lowering it.

He Yu raised a hand and placed his palm directly against Wanrenzhan's forehead, checking his temperature.

The sudden gesture startled everyone.

Wanrenzhan froze.

His eyes widened.

His entire body stiffened.

The cool touch lasted only an instant.

He Yu withdrew his hand.

"Your body temperature isn't normal."

"You have a high fever."

Wanrenzhan froze again.

The tips of his ears immediately turned red.

Heat spread from head to toe.

...Now that he thought about it...

He did feel rather hot.

He Yu turned toward Zhen Xing.

"You—"

Before he finished speaking...

Zhen Xing leaned over on his own.

His beautiful blue hair caught the light.

He lowered his head obediently until his forehead rested before He Yu.

His entire face practically said—

Don't play favorites.

So He Yu raised his hand again.

Another brief touch.

"The same."

"You both have high fevers."

Duan Yuchen and the others touched their own foreheads.

Their temperatures were perfectly normal.

He hurriedly looked toward Zhen Xing.

"What did you hear?"

"Were you conscious?"

"Will the modifications harm you?"

Zhen Xing nodded.

Then shook his head.

"I knew they brought me into a laboratory."

"I also knew I'd receive special treatment because of my performance this afternoon."

"So..."

"I deliberately let myself fall into deeper unconsciousness."

"I didn't try to stay awake."

"As for the modifications..."

"I don't know."

"I can't properly sense my own body right now."

Smart.

Approval flickered openly across He Yu's eyes.

He made no effort to hide his admiration.

It had been an extremely intelligent decision.

He Yu himself had stayed conscious for a reason.

He needed information.

Otherwise...

He would have willingly passed out too.

Zhen Xing's approach had been exactly right.

With the bracelets suppressing them...

Resistance was impossible.

So why struggle?

They had all been taken for human experimentation.

Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan had even received special treatment.

The more they resisted...

The more excited the researchers became.

The easier it became to perform whatever experiments they desired.

The more stubborn the subject...

The more intensely they would be studied.

Remaining unconscious...

Offering no resistance...

Might actually produce a better outcome.

After all...

Before losing consciousness, He Yu had clearly heard the researchers become excited because Wanrenzhan was beginning to wake up.

The less cooperative the subject...

The greater the attention they received.

He Yu looked toward Wanrenzhan once more.

His face was slightly flushed.

Looking closely...

One could see faint blood-red streaks deep within his eyes.

An unnatural crimson.

Ling Buchen noticed as well.

He exchanged a glance with He Yu.

Both wore grave expressions.

Eugene.

Zhen Xing.

Duan Yuchen.

All of them noticed too.

Yet none of them mentioned it to Wanrenzhan.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Wanrenzhan touched his face.

"Am I really that red?"

Meeting He Yu's gaze, he awkwardly looked away.

He coughed.

"What are you all staring at?"

"We're short on time."

"We should keep discussing things."

He Yu drew a slow breath and withdrew his gaze.

"Right."

"We're short on time."

His fingers unconsciously tapped against his knee.

His voice remained calm.

"Originally, I intended to slowly study the prison and find the safest possible escape method."

"But now..."

"We don't have that luxury."

Wanrenzhan and Zhen Xing...

Might not have much time left.

Moreover...

They had already become targets.

Eugene ran both hands through his hair.

His cheeks puffed out.

"This dungeon is getting more ridiculous every round."

"Escape from prison."

"Human experiments."

"And now there's a hidden killer..."

Duan Yuchen smiled bitterly.

"We don't even know how to escape yet."

"We have even fewer clues about the killer."

Annie said irritably,

"We can ignore the killer for now."

"Our schedule is completely full."

"We barely have any personal time."

"How are we supposed to investigate the prison?"

"And where exactly is the exit?"

Zhen Xing suddenly spoke.

Repeating something Eugene had said earlier,

"We were taken to the tenth floor."

"He Yu and Ling Buchen were taken to the ninth because of abnormal combat data."

"Everyone else, including the NPC prisoners..."

"Went to the eighth."

Instantly...

The layout became clear.

He Yu pushed up his glasses.

"Exactly."

"Eight."

"Nine."

"Ten."

"And I clearly felt us moving downward."

Everyone sucked in a cold breath.

Unable to control himself, Qu Wu raised his voice.

"So..."

"We're on the seventh floor?"

"And it's the seventh underground floor?"

"There's at least ten underground levels..."

"We're on B7..."

What did that imply?

It meant...

There were still six floors above them.

And this was underground.

They couldn't simply break through the prison walls.

Nor could they tunnel out.

...Escaping meant climbing from the seventh underground level...

All the way to the surface...

Then escaping.

The difficulty instantly increased by several levels.

At last...

They understood what the "7" in Room 705 actually meant.

He Yu's fingers continued tapping lightly against his knee.

His thoughts rapidly organized themselves.

"In order to reach the lower floors..."

"They took us through the rear of the training room."

"The same direction where Zhen Xing and the others went for extra training."

"After descending..."

"We were moved beneath the central hall."

"So..."

"The underground portion of Death Prison is probably structured like a tower."

"Each level contains its own secrets."

"So far..."

"We only know the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors are used for experiments."

"We don't know what else exists."

"We also don't know what's on the upper levels."

He paused.

"But..."

"We don't have much time."

"So we'll simplify the escape plan."

Wanrenzhan immediately asked,

"How?"

Everyone turned toward He Yu.

He calmly met every gaze.

"Since we don't yet know the effects of the experiments..."

"We'll temporarily exclude them from consideration."

"Once we understand their effects, we'll add them back into our calculations."

"For now..."

"Our objectives are simple."

"Meet up with Qiong and Siya."

"Remove the bracelets."

"Fight our way from the seventh underground floor to the surface."

"Along the way..."

"We eliminate everyone who tries to stop us."

"And identify the killer."

Only three steps.

First—

Remove the bracelets.

Second—

Fight from B7 to the surface.

Third—

Find the mole.

Annie gave a sarcastic laugh, clearly about to object.

He Yu spoke first.

"Don't question it."

"Those are the three steps."

"They may be extremely difficult."

"They may involve enormous risks."

"But that is the process."

The difficult part...

Was figuring out how to accomplish them.

It was hard.

But perfectly clear.

Zhen Xing nodded.

"The final two steps depend entirely on circumstances."

"So we'll start with the first."

"We need to find ten safe hours to remove every bracelet."

Eugene spread his hands.

"That's extremely difficult."

"It may even be impossible."

He Yu nodded.

"Exactly."

"We can't free up ten continuous hours."

Annie thought about their altered bodies.

About the bracelets that could kill them at any moment.

His irritation finally exploded.

"So we can't even complete the first step."

"How are we supposed to accomplish the rest?"

"Having a process is meaningless."

"Anyone can come up with a process."

"The important part is actually doing it."

Without warning, Wanrenzhan hooked an arm around Annie's neck.

His expression turned fierce.

"What are you yelling about?"

"Who exactly are you shouting at?"

"Without He Yu..."

"Do you really think you'd have cleared this dungeon?"

His eyes looked savage.

The crimson within them deepened another shade.

Annie quickly raised both hands.

"I wasn't blaming He Yu."

"You misunderstood."

Wanrenzhan merely stared at him coldly.

[Bullet Screen: "Annie was absolutely blaming He God!"]

[Bullet Screen: "I get why he's frustrated. Dungeons with He God do end up crazier. But I still don't accept it. He Yu literally carried him through Species Collapse." ]

[Bullet Screen: "Come on. It's not He God's fault. The dungeons naturally get harder every round. And honestly, Annie was never going to become the Top Talent anyway."]

[Bullet Screen: "Haha, this blockhead looks ridiculously cool whenever he's protecting He God."]

[Bullet Screen: "Blockhead logic: I'm allowed to criticize He Yu. Nobody else is."]

Zhen Xing glanced at Annie.

His gaze carried almost no emotion.

Yet it sent chills down Annie's spine.

Eugene and the others ignored him completely.

Duan Yuchen turned back toward He Yu.

Continuing the discussion, he asked,

"You also said ten hours isn't possible."

"So..."

"Can we split the process?"

Qu Wu's eyes lit up.

"For example..."

"Remove two bracelets first."

"They escape or hide."

"Then remove the next pair."

"And finally regroup?"

He Yu shook his head.

"That's only Plan A."

"I also have Plan B."

"But whether either can succeed..."

"I still need to discuss them with Qiong tomorrow."

"If we can meet tomorrow morning..."

"Then by noon..."

"The plan can be finalized."

"And immediately put into action."

He looked toward Wanrenzhan's increasingly crimson eyes.

Then at the fatigue slowly overtaking Zhen Xing.

Without saying it aloud...

There wasn't much time left.

Everything had to accelerate.

Zhen Xing nodded.

"Understood."

"Tomorrow we'll create an opportunity for you and Qiong to meet."

"You'll definitely get a chance to talk."

Eugene immediately raised his hand.

"Leave it to me."

"Even if I have to put myself in danger again..."

"I'll buy you time."

Duan Yuchen nodded.

"Until we know who the killer is..."

"We cooperate."

He looked seriously at He Yu.

"If..."

"By the time we successfully escape..."

"You still haven't identified the killer..."

"Can we assume it's you?"

He Yu was the brain directing everything.

Everyone would trust him unconditionally throughout this dungeon.

They would follow every arrangement he made.

He would control the entire operation—

Including exposing the killer.

With his intelligence...

If the killer still hadn't been identified by the time they escaped...

The most likely explanation...

Would be that He Yu himself was the killer.

Meeting Duan Yuchen's gaze, He Yu smiled faintly.

He nodded calmly.

"You may think that."

"But I must correct one point."

"If we successfully escape before identifying the killer..."

"The killer won't be me."

Confidence.

Utterly overwhelming confidence.

He was essentially saying—

If he truly were the killer...

He would absolutely succeed in framing someone else and concealing himself.

What kind of intelligence...

What kind of confidence...

Was required to make such a statement?

In the first dungeon...

The second...

Even the third and fourth...

They would have doubted him.

Some might even have mocked him.

But now...

Every one of them believed he was simply stating a fact.

He possessed that level of intelligence.

So he had every right to possess that level of confidence.

Ling Buchen checked the time.

"Two minutes left."

"Continue?"

"Or go back to bed?"

Eugene looked down at his bracelet.

Rather than checking the time...

He rubbed it thoughtfully.

"According to the schedule..."

"Eleven o'clock is bedtime."

"If we aren't sleepy..."

"Do we actually have to sleep?"

Qu Wu replied,

"But the rules say we must obey prison regulations."

Wanrenzhan snorted.

"We're already breaking the rules."

"No one's stopping us."

After saying that, he frowned.

"At noon there were guards watching us."

"Why hasn't anyone come after we've been talking this long?"

Zhen Xing added another piece of information.

"When I came over from Room 706..."

"I noticed the corridor gate had been locked again."

"It was electrified."

Duan Yuchen frowned deeply.

Thinking aloud, he murmured,

"When it's time to sleep..."

"They lock us inside."

"The guards disappear."

"We've been talking this entire time."

"And nobody reacted."

"It's almost like..."

"No matter what happens in here..."

"No one cares."

"No matter how much noise we make..."

"As long as we don't leave this corridor."

He Yu suddenly shifted.

His expression became unusually serious.

"What's wrong?"

Zhen Xing noticed immediately.

He Yu frowned.

"I already felt something was off this afternoon."

"Now that we know we've all undergone experiments..."

"I have a bad feeling."

"I don't think tonight will be peaceful."

Everyone frowned at once.

Just thinking about the unknown drugs injected into their bodies made them uncomfortable.

He Yu's heartbeat accelerated.

That ominous feeling only grew stronger.

Suddenly...

He sat upright.

Reaching into his backpack, he pulled something out.

Everyone: "!!"

Duan Yuchen stared in surprise.

"Things from the backpack still work?!"

He Yu shook his head.

"It's not equipment."

"It's a previous reward."

"I just wanted to test it."

"And apparently..."

"It still works."

The Prophecy Card.

This was the special reward He Yu had obtained after killing Xiao Lü—the Devil Vine—in the Universal Romance dungeon.

It wasn't equipment.

It was a special card that functioned within the competition itself.

The instant the Prophecy Card appeared...

Everyone suddenly remembered He Yu still possessed it.

[Bullet Screen: "Seeing the Prophecy Card suddenly reminded me of Xiao Lü giving He God little flowers..."]

[Bullet Screen: "Waaah... I suddenly miss Blue Eyes. We didn't see Blue Eyes in the last dungeon. If they're all the same person... that's actually so sweet."]

[Bullet Screen: "...Sweet? My clingy big cat, Li who went shopping and watched the stars, Xiao Lü who turned a wasteland into a forest with one kiss, Little Black who only wanted to cuddle with his wife... He God killed every single one of them!"]

[Bullet Screen: "Still... I really want Blue Eyes to appear again."]

Eugene looked surprised.

"You're using the Prophecy Card?"

Duan Yuchen frowned slightly.

"The Prophecy Card is as valuable as an Advancement Card."

"Aren't you saving it for the finals?"

"You're really going to use it..."

"...on an ordinary night like this?"

Ling Buchen pursed his lips.

He looked at He Yu with concern.

Zhen Xing's expression became guarded.

The two of them understood He Yu better than anyone.

For him to use the Prophecy Card now...

Could only mean one thing.

In He Yu's calculations...

Tonight was unimaginably dangerous.

It made both of them worried.

And wary.

Wanrenzhan instinctively flexed his fingers.

He wanted to pull out the axe he knew best.

To kill anything that stood in his way.

But...

The bracelet sealed all equipment.

He Yu had always been decisive.

Now that he'd made his decision...

He activated the Prophecy Card immediately.

A three-second illusion appeared before them.

Only three seconds.

Only a single scene.

Yet every one of them widened their eyes in disbelief.

He Yu...

Was dead.

Annie...

Had strangled him.

Right here.

On this very bed.

In this exact spot.

It was undeniably He Yu.

And undeniably Annie.

Annie's eyes flew open.

"No!"

"How is that possible?!"

"I'm not the killer!"

"Why would I kill someone?!"

"What exactly is wrong with this Prophecy Card?!"

He was on the verge of breaking down.

Wanrenzhan reacted instantly.

He grabbed Annie.

His hand clamped around Annie's throat.

He intended to strike first—

To kill Annie immediately.

Everyone else's expressions darkened.

He Yu...

Dead?

The thought had only just appeared.

Several people already wanted to kill.

Violent impulses surged.

Their eyes slowly reddened.

[Bullet Screen: "HOLY SHIT!!"]

[Bullet Screen: "Thank God He Yu used the Prophecy Card! That's terrifying!"]

[Bullet Screen: "If He Yu hadn't used it... Annie would've killed him tonight?!"]

[Bullet Screen: "Jesus Christ... if He God died, I couldn't accept it."]

[Bullet Screen: "Annie, are you insane?! If you kill the team's brain, how is anyone clearing the dungeon?!"]

No one else could accept it either.

No one stopped Wanrenzhan.

They simply watched as his grip tightened tighter and tighter.

He genuinely intended to kill Annie immediately.

Ding—ding—ding—

Eleven o'clock.

The bedtime bell rang.

At the same time, an announcement echoed through the corridor.

"All prisoners are to return to bed within one minute."

"Lights out at 23:01."

"Please obey prison regulations."

"Violators will bear the consequences."

Everyone looked at one another.

Duan Yuchen grabbed Wanrenzhan's arm.

Remaining rational, he shook his head.

"Back to bed first."

"Don't sleep tonight."

"Watch over He Yu."

"If anything happens..."

"Protect him."

Wanrenzhan tightened his grip once more.

Annie grabbed his wrist, trying to pry it away.

He Yu spoke calmly.

"Let go."

"Go to bed."

Only then did Wanrenzhan fling Annie aside.

His gaze remained viciously fixed on him.

His eyes had become even redder.

"If you try anything..."

"I'll kill you immediately."

Zhen Xing shook his head, forcing away the lingering dizziness.

Then he looked at Annie.

His voice was icy.

"I don't know why you want to kill He Yu."

"But if anything happens to him tonight..."

"No matter who does it..."

"I'll kill you tomorrow."

Eugene said nothing.

He looked at Annie as though he were already dead.

Only ten seconds remained.

Everyone returned to their own beds.

No one's emotions had settled.

Wanrenzhan and Ling Buchen decided not to sleep.

They would guard He Yu.

Zhen Xing and the others also intended to observe the situation.

If they were able to move...

They would come protect He Yu as well.

Everyone dispersed.

Annie wanted to explain something.

He opened his mouth.

Then realized he had no explanation.

In the end, he simply returned to bed.

He Yu also lay down.

The Prophecy Card had already vanished after being used.

He wasn't afraid Annie might kill him.

Nor was he relieved.

His mind raced at terrifying speed.

Analyzing every mystery tonight had created.

Why would Annie kill him?

If there really were such a violent struggle...

How could Wanrenzhan and Ling Buchen know nothing?

Why did everyone have to be in bed by the specified time?

Why weren't the guards coming?

Why was the corridor locked so tightly?

What exactly had the injected serum done?

Why were Wanrenzhan's eyes turning crimson?

Why was Zhen Xing so drowsy?

With only two seconds remaining...

He Yu mentally reviewed the prison rules.

Then reread the dungeon prompt in his memory.

Ding—

The instant {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} every light went out...

As He Yu recalled the dungeon prompt...

His attention suddenly caught on one particular line.

His pupils contracted sharply.

His hand clenched into a fist.
