This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

They all had assigned backgrounds.

According to the instance's story, Qu Wu and He Yu were on bad terms, but there was never any mention of hostility between Qu Wu and Annie.

That meant Qu Wu had actually come to kill He Yu last night.

Running into Annie had simply been an accident.

Looking embarrassed, Qu Wu nodded.

"...Yeah. I really did come to kill He Yu last night. But I ran into Annie instead. After that, I have no idea what happened."

Duan Yuchen fell into thought.

A long moment later, he suddenly slapped his hand against his thigh, his voice rising excitedly.

"According to the story, Ling Buchen also has a grudge against Annie, so he would've tried to kill Annie too."

"My memory fragment is entering Room 705."

"But I don't know why I went there or what happened afterward."

"My background says everyone bullies me, so I could also have wanted to kill Annie."

He looked toward He Yu.

"What about you? What was your memory fragment?"

Everyone turned to He Yu.

Taking a slow breath, He Yu answered,

"My fragment is that I wanted to kill Annie."

"And I'd already reached his bedside."

"But I don't know whether that happened before or after Wanrenzhan."

Eugene frowned.

"That doesn't add up."

Everyone looked at him.

Pointing toward Annie's body lying on the bed, Eugene explained,

"Annie wanted to kill you, so he got out of bed and ran into Qu Wu."

"We don't know what happened between them. Qu Wu passed out, then I showed up."

"If Annie died at that point, how could He Yu still have a memory of going to kill him?"

"And if He Yu's memory happened first, how was Annie still alive to try killing He Yu afterward?"

He Yu going to kill Annie...

And Annie going to kill He Yu...

The two memory fragments seemed contradictory.

Zhen Xing shook his head.

"Not necessarily."

"No matter who intended to kill whom, neither side would've wanted to be discovered."

"If they heard movement, they could've simply returned to bed instead of carrying out their plan."

"And when He Yu went to kill Annie..."

"Annie might not even have been alive anymore."

Anyone committing murder would naturally want to avoid being caught.

Qu Wu running into Annie had most likely been pure coincidence.

Perhaps He Yu had gone to kill Annie, but someone arrived, forcing him to abandon the attempt. Besides, strangling Annie didn't seem like something He Yu or Ling Buchen could've done.

Only afterward did Annie attempt to kill He Yu and fail.

Or perhaps Annie went to kill He Yu first, was interrupted, and only afterward did He Yu go after Annie.

There was no real contradiction.

Eugene nodded, accepting the explanation.

"So..."

"Right now, Annie could've been killed by any one of us."

"And none of us can say who actually did it."

Duan Yuchen frowned.

"Does Annie's death have anything to do with the murderer?"

"What exactly does his death represent?"

He Yu raised his head.

The lenses of his rimless glasses reflected a cold gleam.

His clear voice rang out sharply.

"Whether the person who killed Annie is the murderer is still unknown."

"But Annie's death proves one thing."

"People die during the Night of Chaos."

Everyone's heart tightened.

They wanted to escape.

But every night they would go insane.

They would lose control over themselves.

They would kill.

And while unconscious, they themselves could also be killed.

This instance...

Was far too dangerous.

Kill the Prisoners.

It truly intended to kill every one of them.

The fact that people died every night instantly increased both the danger and the difficulty of the instance by several levels.

Everyone's expressions became extremely grim.

Just then, a guard switched on the power to the corridor gates and shouted,

"Breakfast! Hurry up and eat!"

Zhen Xing stood.

"Let's eat first."

"We can continue talking while we eat."

The seven of them got up together.

Nobody spared Annie's body another glance.

Leaving the room, they lined up in the corridor.

The guard noticed them.

His eyes narrowed.

Carrying his whip, he strode over with a sinister smile.

"So."

"Coming out of one room together again?"

"Planning another group disturbance?"

Eugene raised a hand with a smile that never reached his eyes.

"Nothing like that."

"You've misunderstood us, Guard."

Crack!

The whip lashed directly across Eugene's body.

His face instantly darkened.

He stared coldly at the guard.

His eyes looked as though he were already looking at a corpse.

The guard's hair stood on end.

Instinctively, he stepped back.

Then he became furious.

Raising the whip again, he barked,

"What?"

"You bastards planning a rebellion?!"

Yesterday his head had hurt too badly to settle accounts with them.

Now that he'd found the opportunity...

Naturally he intended to teach them a proper lesson.

Another whip cracked toward Eugene.

Eugene's hand moved.

He Yu smiled faintly.

"Guard."

"You'll have plenty of opportunities to discipline him."

"There's no need to do it now."

"Training starts soon."

"He performed well yesterday."

"The instructor specifically said he'd be paying close attention to their performance today."

The meaning was obvious.

They're about to train.

They're already on the instructors' radar.

If you damage him now...

You'll deal with the consequences yourself.

The guard hesitated.

Turning toward He Yu, he found himself staring at that refined, beautiful face.

For some reason...

He suddenly remembered that when he'd opened his eyes yesterday, the concerned face he had seen seemed to be this very one.

The guard looked between Eugene and He Yu.

"You two close?"

He Yu answered frankly.

"Yes."

Eugene froze.

The violence filling his eyes faded for an instant as he turned toward He Yu with a complicated expression.

But He Yu never looked at him.

He was still watching the guard.

The guard stared deeply at He Yu.

A strange expression crossed his face.

Lowering his voice, he smiled oddly.

"Fine."

"I'll give you some face."

"Go eat first."

"I'll come find you at noon."

"Wait for me."

He Yu slowly narrowed his eyes.

Zhen Xing, Ling Buchen, Wanrenzhan, and the others, who had remained expressionless until now, all darkened visibly.

Their gazes toward the guard turned murderous.

Sharper than knives.

That NPC...

Actually dared to covet He Yu.

The guard had already turned away and walked toward Room 701, preparing to escort everyone through the security gate.

Zhen Xing said coldly,

"First target."

"We kill him."

Wanrenzhan gritted his teeth.

"I'm tearing him into pieces."

Eugene spoke gloomily,

"No."

"His life belongs to me."

Duan Yuchen and Qu Wu said nothing.

But the way they looked at the guard's back wasn't friendly either.

None of the prison staff seemed to be decent people.

Not the guards.

Not the deputy guards.

Not the instructors.

Not the researchers.

Not Dr. Ganlun.

Only the warden hadn't appeared yet.

But anyone capable of establishing a prison like this...

Could never be a good person.

—

The group was escorted back to the same dining hall as yesterday for breakfast.

Their meals were surprisingly generous.

Not only were they filling, but the food itself was of fairly high quality.

While eating, Duan Yuchen lowered his voice.

"So what exactly is this prison doing?"

"They feed the prisoners well."

"They train them."

"But then they ignore them completely and let them go insane and kill each other every night."

Without even looking up, He Yu replied,

"Raising poisonous insects."

"It's exactly like the Top Talent Show."

"It gives you rewards."

"It gives you equipment."

"But it allows everyone to slaughter one another."

"The system only wants results."

"And this prison only wants experimental subjects."

Once the mask was removed...

Only the blood-soaked truth remained.

Duan Yuchen immediately fell silent.

Eugene continued their earlier discussion.

"So should we investigate who killed Annie?"

"Does that person have anything to do with the murderer?"

Zhen Xing shook his head.

"It doesn't matter."

"The Night of Chaos won't happen only once."

"More people will die."

Besides...

Annie had been the person most of them wanted dead last night.

So exactly who killed him wasn't particularly important.

【Bullet Screen: "...Annie really had it rough."】

【Bullet Screen: "Well, who told him to target He Yu? The entire group wanted Annie dead. Finding the real killer doesn't even matter anymore. LMAO."】

【Bullet Screen: "Annie was actually pretty strong. Kind of a shame."】

【Bullet Screen: "Seriously, last night was absolute chaos. If I hadn't watched the whole thing live, I wouldn't believe he was the one who killed Annie."】

Zhen Xing looked at He Yu, worry filling his eyes.

"We're all irrational during the Night of Chaos."

"No one knows who'll die next."

"Can we escape before tonight?"

He was worried about He Yu.

He Yu swallowed his food before answering.

"I'm afraid it'll be difficult."

"We still know nothing about the upper six floors."

Suddenly, he looked carefully at Wanrenzhan and Zhen Xing.

He examined both of their expressions.

Zhen Xing no longer looked drowsy.

The crimson tint had vanished from Wanrenzhan's eyes.

Yet...

He Yu's gaze darkened.

Wanrenzhan touched his face.

"What?"

"Is there something on my face?"

Zhen Xing immediately understood what He Yu meant.

He shook his head.

"I don't feel any abnormal reactions anymore."

"It's like my body has completely adapted to yesterday's injection overnight."

"That's not good news."

He Yu's jade-like face remained expressionless.

"It means your body's modification has progressed further."

"And the time we have left is growing shorter."

Zhen Xing smiled faintly.

"Then I'll look forward to you getting me through this instance as soon as possible."

He Yu looked at him.

His eyes clearly disapproved.

The two of them faced each other, holding one another's gaze.

For a moment...

It felt as though no one else could interrupt them.

Ling Buchen remained expressionless, pretending not to notice.

Only the slight darkness in his eyes betrayed him.

Meanwhile, Wanrenzhan, sitting on the other side of Ling Buchen...

"...???"

He waved a hand between the two of them, looking extremely dissatisfied.

"Hey!"

"What are you two doing?"

"I got injected with even more of that drug than he did!"

"If you're going to worry about someone, worry about me!"

【Bullet Screen: "Jealous! He's jealous! Hahaha!"】

【Bullet Screen: "He Yu and my Zhen Xing are such a perfect match."】

【Bullet Screen: "The blue-eyed pairing is the true canon couple! The rest of you are just concubines!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Am I the only one wondering how they're actually supposed to clear this instance?"】

He Yu glanced at Wanrenzhan before calmly withdrawing his gaze.

"We're running out of time."

"We can't control either the murderer or the Night of Chaos."

"Let's focus on removing the wristbands first."

Eugene nodded.

"Alright."

"We'll cover for you during training."

—

Morning training began.

Just like yesterday, several beasts were released into the arena.

But this time...

They were clearly far more savage.

The instant they charged out, one immediately bit into an NPC prisoner.

The prisoner died on the spot.

Zhen Xing and the others' expressions darkened.

After exchanging a glance with He Yu, Zhen Xing took a deep breath and leaped toward one of the beasts.

Wanrenzhan had already charged toward another.

Eugene, Duan Yuchen, Qu Wu, and Siya also joined the battle.

Without equipment, they could rely only on their bodies and raw strength.

There were more beasts than yesterday.

They were also considerably stronger.

Handling them was far more difficult.

He Yu wasted no time.

Protected by Ling Buchen, he quietly approached Qiong.

Qiong also pretended to flee in panic while gradually moving toward him.

The two quickly met within the crowd.

Ling Buchen positioned himself in front of them, drawing the instructor's attention away from their conversation.

Qiong spoke first.

"Siya and I both lost consciousness last night."

"I almost killed her."

"Fortunately she's lucky."

"She was only injured."

"Her wounds still haven't completely healed."

He Yu answered simply,

"Annie is dead."

Qiong's eyes widened in shock.

Keeping it brief, He Yu quickly explained everything that had happened in the men's prison, including the Night of Chaos.

After hearing everything, Qiong immediately pressed her lips together.

Her expression became serious.

"Siya and I were also injected."

"This instance is extremely dangerous."

"Our situation is terrible."

"The longer we delay, the more dangerous it becomes."

He Yu nodded.

"That's exactly what I think."

"Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan can't afford to wait."

While pretending to dodge a beast, Qiong asked,

"What's your plan?"

"What do you need me to do?"

"Can you buy me ten hours?"

He Yu shook his head.

His thin lips parted.

"No."

"We don't need ten hours."

"Qiong."

"You need to find a way to disable the wristbands."

"You don't have to remove them."

"Just temporarily make them incapable of injuring us."

"That should be easier than completely removing them, right?"

Simply disabling the wristbands without removing them...

Would indeed be much easier than fully unlocking them.

But it also meant...

They still couldn't use their equipment.

Their combat strength wouldn't return.

Qiong froze.

She stared at He Yu in astonishment.

"You mean..."

He Yu looked toward the others fighting ahead.

His rimless glasses couldn't conceal the madness burning in his eyes.

"That's right."

"During this afternoon's training..."

"We disable the wristbands."

"As long as we can free even one person..."

"We'll break out immediately."

"We're not waiting until tonight."

【Bullet Screen: "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!! That's insane!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "They're escaping already? He Yu's moving way too fast!"】

【Bullet Screen: "OMG I ship it so hard! Zhen Xing asked whether they could escape before tonight. He Yu said it would probably be difficult... then immediately turned around and made a crazy plan with Qiong to escape before nightfall!!"】
