This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

【Bullet Screen: "AHHHH! He God is finally here!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Can Zhen Xing still be saved?!"】

【Bullet Screen: "I'm seriously crying. As expected, cooperation is so much more exciting than slaughter in this competition."】

The familiar appearance.

The familiar voice.

Just four simple words.

At that moment, deep beneath the ninth underground floor where no hope could be found, Zhen Xing felt as though he had finally seen sunlight.

He Yu...

...had descended like a god.

—Was this a hallucination?

—At least before dying, he'd finally seen him... even if it was only an illusion.

Zhen Xing wanted to smile at him.

But his lips wouldn't move.

His vision grew blurrier and blurrier.

"Hey! Zhen Xing, don't you dare die. Don't make this trip a complete waste!"

Eugene's irritated voice rang out as the silver-haired, black-eyed Mechanical Planet contestant poked his head through the opening. Even his perfectly sculpted face carried an unusually complicated expression.

Bang!

The two of them landed on the floor one after another.

Through his hazy vision, Zhen Xing watched the slender figure walk toward him.

He Yu reached out and lightly touched his body.

Then that familiar, cool voice sounded once more.

"You're not dreaming."

"We're here."

—It's real!

Thump. Thump. Thump.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

The blood within those bulging blue veins began racing wildly.

Some force erupted from the depths of his soul.

The consciousness that had already been defeated suddenly found new strength.

It began fighting back from the edge of oblivion.

His blood surged.

The serum churned violently.

His consciousness struggled desperately.

His unyielding soul roared in defiance.

On his expressionless face...

...the corner of his mouth lifted ever so slightly.

So faint that no one would notice without looking closely.

Beside him, the monitors changed dramatically.

The previously stable lines began shaking violently, surging up and down as the struggle intensified.

The serum sought to devour his consciousness.

His consciousness, rising again from despair, threw itself against the serum.

Never surrender!

—At that very moment, even the person lying motionless on the bed seemed to have joined the battle.

For the audience, this immersive life-or-death livestream suddenly felt accompanied by the most blood-pumping soundtrack imaginable.

The assistant was completely dumbfounded.

From the moment the ceiling was cut open...

...and He Yu poked his head through...

...his mind had gone completely blank.

The underground laboratory possessed airtight security.

Outside the entrance, photon blades constantly swept the area.

Anyone daring to intrude would immediately be detected and captured.

And yet—

These people had simply...

...cut through the ceiling.

The maneuver was so absurdly outrageous that not only had it stunned Eugene and the others—

It had completely caught the assistant off guard.

He trembled slightly.

"You... you actually dared to—"

Bang!

Eugene casually raised a hand.

Fast as lightning.

The assistant collapsed unconscious before he could finish speaking.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Ever since they'd entered, alarms had been blaring nonstop, warning of intruders.

Outside the laboratory...

...rapid footsteps echoed through the corridor.

Eugene glanced at Zhen Xing, who lay motionless on the bed.

"Dead yet?"

His complexion was bluish-white.

His veins bulged grotesquely.

He lay perfectly still.

He looked so much like a corpse that even his breathing had become almost imperceptible.

"He isn't dead."

He Yu answered calmly.

Hearing that, Eugene tossed him a vial.

"A six-star recovery potion."

"When he wakes up, that bastard owes me a seven-star one."

Only Eugene and Ling Buchen still possessed potions.

Ling Buchen had gone to rescue Wanrenzhan.

Only Eugene remained.

Considering how he normally treated Zhen Xing...

...it would've been perfectly understandable if he hadn't offered anything.

Yet...

He did.

He Yu caught the potion smoothly in one motion.

Without hesitation, he poured it directly into Zhen Xing's mouth.

"Fine."

"I'll have him repay you with a seven-star potion."

"I'll agree on his behalf."

As though sensing something, Zhen Xing struggled with all his strength...

...to swallow every drop.

At the laboratory entrance, countless guards had already arrived.

Eugene stood with his back toward He Yu and Zhen Xing.

His silver hair flicked dramatically.

His mechanical arm reflected an icy gleam.

He left behind only one sentence.

"I'll handle things here."

The next instant...

...he had already charged into the guards.

He Yu left the battle entirely to Eugene.

He reached toward the restraints binding Zhen Xing.

To prevent experimental subjects from suddenly going berserk, Zhen Xing had been secured completely.

Every limb was fixed.

Even the bed itself had been bolted to the floor.

There wasn't the slightest chance of breaking free.

The cuffs proved difficult to unlock.

The material was obviously custom-made.

After only a brief attempt, He Yu realized it would take too long.

His lips pressed together.

He immediately changed plans.

Squatting down, he began undoing the locks connecting the bed to the floor.

Perhaps to make replacing experimental subjects easier...

...those chains were surprisingly simple to remove.

Click.

The bed became movable.

The instant the final lock released...

He Yu seemed to sense something.

He suddenly shoved the bed sideways.

At the same time, he threw himself backward.

A split second later—

BOOM—

A photon blade sliced through the exact place they'd been standing moments earlier.

They'd already witnessed the destructive power of these laboratory photon blades upstairs.

He Yu leapt into the air, narrowly avoiding another sweeping blade.

Landing smoothly, he grabbed hold of Zhen Xing's bed once again.

The shrill alarm echoed throughout the laboratory.

Taking a deep breath, He Yu spoke with absolute calm.

"Eugene."

"Withdraw."

Eugene kicked one guard flying.

His chainsaw instantly split another apart.

With a powerful leap, he landed atop Zhen Xing's bed before springing toward the hole they'd cut in the ceiling.

But—

Bzzzzt!

The ceiling had already repaired itself.

Terrifying currents of electricity surged across it.

Eugene slammed on the brakes midair.

Twisting his body, he landed instead, kicking away a guard attempting to attack He Yu.

"The ceiling's blocked!"

"Damn it!"

"They electrified it!"

He Yu remained perfectly composed.

"We're going through the door."

The moment they'd broken through the eighth floor and cut into the ninth...

Dr. Ganlun had certainly noticed.

Now they'd invaded the most important laboratory...

...and stolen its most valuable experimental subject.

Dr. Ganlun was undoubtedly furious.

They had to leave immediately.

"The doorway's covered by photon blades!"

"We can't get through!"

Eugene gritted his teeth.

The ceiling was blocked.

The doorway was blocked.

Remaining inside the laboratory meant certain death.

This laboratory...

...was truly a place you could enter—

—but never leave.

The guards themselves weren't a problem.

Even as experts, they were no match for an SSS-ranked Eugene.

He could crush them effortlessly.

The real obstacle...

...was the photon blade barrier at the entrance.

The walls were now electrified.

Judging by the crackling alone...

Touching them meant instant death.

Even Eugene began desperately searching for a way out.

Then—

"Move."

He Yu's voice suddenly rang out.

Eugene instinctively stepped aside.

Without another word...

He Yu shoved Zhen Xing's bed straight toward the invisible photon blades.

The bed, carrying what looked like a corpse, rushed directly toward the doorway.

Eugene: "!!!"

—After all that effort to rescue him...

...he was just sending him to die?

【Bullet Screen: "!!! HOLY SHIT!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "AHHHH! Is Zhen Xing still going to die?!"】

【Bullet Screen: "He Yu, what are you doing—?!"】

The bed reached the doorway.

Then...

...it passed through safely.

The photon blades immediately halted.

No attack came.

"Move."

The instant those words left He Yu's lips, he seized the movable bed.

Pulling both it and Zhen Xing through the laboratory entrance, he crossed the threshold.

Eugene stared blankly for only a tenth of a second.

Then he disappeared in a blur, grabbing the bed as well and following them through.

【Bullet Screen: "!!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "What just happened?!"】

Inside another laboratory, Warden Laners looked expressionlessly toward Dr. Ganlun.

"You shouldn't have disabled the photon blades."

"You should've used the entrance defenses to kill them."

Dr. Ganlun shook his head.

"No."

"Number Five and Number Three are my finest experimental subjects."

"I still haven't seen Number Five's final results."

"I cannot allow him to die."

Indeed...

The moment Zhen Xing had been pushed toward the photon blades...

...Dr. Ganlun had immediately disabled the system.

He absolutely refused to let Zhen Xing be cut to pieces.

And He Yu...

...had anticipated exactly that.

Taking advantage of Dr. Ganlun's obsession, he'd escaped the laboratory and entered the corridor.

Laners pursed his lips.

"They're powerful."

"Their teamwork is exceptional."

"And they're extremely intelligent."

"They infiltrated your laboratory and stole someone from under your nose."

"Doctor... you should start taking them more seriously."

Everything they'd done...

...was astonishing.

And almost unbelievable.

Everyone had assumed that once given an opportunity...

...they would immediately flee upward.

Instead...

...they came deeper underground...

...to steal an experimental subject.

Even more terrifying...

...they succeeded.

It wasn't merely a slap in the face.

It was a warning.

A warning that these people demanded genuine caution.

Dr. Ganlun's expression darkened.

"My experimental subjects must not be harmed."

"The stronger they are..."

"...the more worthy they become of research."

Staring at the projection showing the two men and the bed, he ordered coldly,

"Capture them alive."

"If that's impossible..."

"...kill them immediately."

"Recover Experimental Subject Number Five."

"But do not harm him."

—

Eugene, He Yu, and the unconscious Zhen Xing successfully entered the corridor.

Several guards still remained alive there.

Eugene's expressionless mechanical face looked utterly cold.

His body flashed forward.

His mechanical arm swept through the hallway.

Every guard in its path collapsed.

The entire scene resembled a blockbuster action film.

Except...

...this wasn't a movie.

It was genuine combat ability.

It was the first time He Yu had witnessed Eugene fighting at SSS rank.

—It truly was terrifying.

Watching everything unfold, Dr. Ganlun's eyes actually reddened.

He wasn't angry about the guards dying.

He was heartbroken.

"My God..."

"Why does Number Seven have to be a mechanical being?"

"If he were an ordinary warrior..."

"...what a magnificent experimental subject he'd make!"

"Damn it!"

"Give me back my Number Five!"

He Yu followed Eugene.

Their next objective was the neighboring laboratory.

They had to rendezvous with Ling Buchen...

...and rescue Wanrenzhan.

Unlike the seventh floor, the underground laboratory corridors themselves possessed extremely powerful defenses.

Attacks constantly bombarded Eugene and He Yu.

Eugene dealt with them using his chainsaw.

Meanwhile...

He Yu simply used Zhen Xing as a shield.

Whenever a blade appeared ahead...

He Yu shoved Zhen Xing's bed directly toward it.

The attacks stopped immediately.

Eugene and He Yu calmly continued forward.

The ninth floor was just as vast as the eighth and seventh.

The two enormous laboratories were separated by a considerable distance.

Using Zhen Xing as the perfect pathfinder...

...they advanced with astonishing ease.

【Bullet Screen: "...A second ago I was shipping them."】

【Bullet Screen: "Honestly, same. As expected of He God."】

【Bullet Screen: "He God is the ruthless guy who stabbed Blue Eyes FOUR TIMES!!"】

Eugene: "..."

He couldn't help muttering,

"I'm starting to suspect you rescued Zhen Xing for an entirely different reason."

If Zhen Xing ever learned how He Yu had been using him...

...he'd probably wake up just to explode with rage.

Bringing Zhen Xing along was simply too useful.

Apparently, Dr. Ganlun had ordered that no harm come to him.

None of the guards dared attack him.

The corridor contained no photon blades.

But the defensive mechanisms lining both walls should've been more than enough to stop them.

Instead...

Every attack withdrew the moment Zhen Xing blocked the way.

—He Yu had turned Zhen Xing into the most effective shield imaginable.

Hearing Eugene's complaint, He Yu glanced at him calmly.

"Oh."

"So should we keep Zhen Xing safely behind us instead?"

Without hesitation, Eugene shoved Zhen Xing's bed right back out in front.

The hidden weapons protruding from the walls instantly retracted once more.

Once again, the motionless Zhen Xing successfully blocked every attack.

Eugene grinned.

His flawless model-like face somehow looked remarkably silly.

"That's unnecessary."

"I'm sure he'd want to fight alongside us."

"We're simply fulfilling his wish."

"We're doing it for his own good."

【Bullet Screen: "Zhen Xing says thanks. 😊"】

【Bullet Screen: "HAHAHA Eugene has absolutely no shame either."】

【Bullet Screen: "Honestly, this is the right choice. As long as everyone survives. If He Yu and the others die, Zhen Xing is doomed anyway."】

The trio quickly reached the neighboring laboratory.

Chaos reigned inside.

Photon blades chased everyone everywhere.

Duan Yuchen and Siya had both been wounded.

Blood soaked their bodies.

"Fuck! There are photon blades in here too?!"

"Isn't this supposed to be a prison and a human experimentation lab?!"

"Why the hell does it have technology like this?!"

"Watch out!"

The moment Siya spotted them in the doorway, her eyes lit up.

"He Yu! Eugene! Help!"

He Yu remained perfectly calm.

With one powerful shove, he wedged Zhen Xing's bed across the doorway.

The photon blades stopped instantly.

Everyone inside froze.

Then they reacted immediately.

One after another, they sprinted out of the terrifying laboratory.

Qiong let out a long breath.

She had no time to ask how He Yu had stopped the photon blades.

Instead she hurriedly said,

"Wanrenzhan's in trouble!"

He Yu's expression darkened.

The fact that Wanrenzhan hadn't appeared had already made him suspicious.

As expected...

Something had happened.

"What happened?"

This wasn't the place for lengthy explanations.

Duan Yuchen summarized everything quickly.

"When we got downstairs, Dr. Ganlun was already there."

"Ling Buchen attacked him immediately."

"But the doctor disappeared with Wanrenzhan before the attack could land."

He Yu nodded.

That wasn't surprising.

This was Dr. Ganlun's territory.

Hurting him wouldn't be easy.

What He Yu truly wanted to know...

...was Wanrenzhan's condition.

After hesitating, Duan Yuchen finally forced himself to say,

"Wanrenzhan is probably..."

"...dead."

Eugene stared at them.

Everyone remained silent.

Their expressions alone confirmed it.

【Bullet Screen: "I saw Wanrenzhan stop convulsing... wuwuwu."】

【Bullet Screen: "Zhen Xing almost couldn't survive after two-thirds of a reinforcement serum, and he's still struggling. Wanrenzhan received a full dose. It's only natural he couldn't endure it."】

【Bullet Screen: "He died horribly. He struggled even more than Zhen Xing... but he still couldn't make it."】

Eugene murmured,

"So he really died..."

He'd always mocked Wanrenzhan for being stupid.

He'd always thought the previous champion wasn't worthy of first place.

Even so...

They had always regarded him as their ultimate rival.

Never...

Not once...

...had Eugene imagined Wanrenzhan wouldn't even reach the finals.

No.

He hadn't even made it to the semifinals.

Qiong pressed her lips together.

"When Dr. Ganlun tried taking him away, Ling Buchen led us after them."

"I could feel it."

"He wasn't breathing anymore."

"His heart had completely stopped."

No breathing.

No heartbeat.

That meant death.

She'd even tried giving Wanrenzhan the potion Ling Buchen had handed her.

But he lay perfectly motionless.

Without even the faintest trace of life.

She'd been stunned.

And in that very instant...

Dr. Ganlun vanished with Wanrenzhan.

Then the photon blades activated.

He Yu lowered his eyes without speaking.

Ling Buchen gently patted his shoulder.

Everyone understood.

He Yu couldn't possibly feel good.

He'd been trying his hardest to lead all of them out alive.

In their plan...

Wanrenzhan and Zhen Xing had been indispensable.

It could even be said...

They'd deliberately drawn Dr. Ganlun's attention onto themselves to make the plan possible.

The two had been taken away today precisely because they were covering for everyone else's actions.

When the others triggered the alarm while breaking their wristbands...

...the two contestants training alone had been taken away early for experimentation.

—If Wanrenzhan had died...

He Yu would naturally blame himself.

Eugene opened his mouth to speak.

But suddenly—

He Yu looked up.

A cold light reflected from his frameless lenses.

His almond-shaped eyes were sharp and utterly composed.

"He isn't dead."

Everyone froze.

During those few seconds of silence...

He Yu had been analyzing.

He'd pieced together every available clue.

And reached a conclusion.

Wanrenzhan...

...was probably still alive.

"If he were truly dead..."

"Dr. Ganlun wouldn't have taken him away."

If the experiments required corpses...

Why had Dr. Ganlun carefully raised them on the seventh floor?

Why train them?

Why strengthen them?

The same logic explained why using Zhen Xing as a shield worked.

Dr. Ganlun refused to let Zhen Xing die.

His experimental subjects had to remain alive.

The fact that he'd taken Wanrenzhan away meant...

...he still considered him an experimental subject.

And experimental subjects...

...were alive.

As for why Wanrenzhan had stopped breathing and his heart had stopped...

He Yu couldn't explain that yet.

But one thing alone was enough.

Wanrenzhan...

...wasn't dead.

【Bullet Screen: "He's not dead?!"】

【Bullet Screen: "HOLY SHIT! He's actually alive! His livestream is still available!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "??? So everyone kept saying he died, but nobody even checked whether his livestream still existed?!"】

【Bullet Screen: "I checked! I said so! Nobody listened to me!!"】

Eugene shook his mechanical arm.

"The doctor's already taken him away."

"We don't have time to rescue him."

"We go upstairs?"

Their plan had always been to escape before the Night of Chaos began.

Searching for Wanrenzhan now...

...would cost far too much time.

They'd already risked their lives once trying to save him.

He Yu didn't object.

Pulling Zhen Xing's bed back into the corridor, he turned his head toward the passage ahead.

His gaze turned icy.

"It's time to prepare for battle."

Everyone looked up.

Four figures had appeared ahead of them.

Apparently, realizing ordinary guards couldn't stop them...

...and unwilling to risk injuring Zhen Xing...

...the prison had abandoned its automated defenses.

Instead...

It had sent these four.

They were nothing like the previous guards.

Their complexions were ashen.

Weapons rested in their hands.

Their expressions were utterly numb.

Yet the overwhelming aura radiating from them alone made everyone's breathing tighten.

Eugene and the others immediately grew solemn.

They slowly shifted into formation.

Ling Buchen and Eugene stood at the very front.

Duan Yuchen, Qiong, Siya, and Qu Wu surrounded He Yu and the unconscious Zhen Xing.

Every eye remained fixed upon the four figures ahead.

—

"Dr. Ganlun."

"We have to kill them."

Warden Laners once again voiced his opinion.

Dr. Ganlun stared at the projection with fanatical eyes.

"No."

"These are all my experimental subjects."

"The stronger they are..."

"...the better they'll endure the experiments."

After a pause, he continued,

"However..."

"You're right."

"They're far more troublesome than I anticipated."

"So I've changed my mind."

"No more tempering them."

"Capture them immediately."

"This ninth floor is the perfect place to do it."

"You shouldn't let Number Five hold you back."

Laners clearly disagreed with Dr. Ganlun's reluctance to act because of Zhen Xing.

Dr. Ganlun's eyes widened instantly.

"No!"

"Nothing must happen to Number Five!"

"He's one of the finest experimental subjects I've ever encountered."

"He absolutely cannot be ruined!"

"You still have Number Three."

Laners pointed toward the gray-faced man lying nearby.

The instant Dr. Ganlun heard "Number Three"...

...his eyes lit up with excitement.

He quickly suppressed it and smiled.

"There's only one Number Three."

"And besides..."

"...he can't truly be considered a success yet."

"I still need Number Five."

Not only Number Five.

His burning gaze lingered on every person shown in the projection.

Every single one of them...

...was his experimental subject.

The stronger they proved themselves...

...the happier he became.

Laners replied,

"Very well."

"I'll follow your wishes."

"But if they threaten the experiments..."

"...or show any possibility of escaping..."

"...I'll act personally."

Dr. Ganlun waved dismissively.

"Don't worry."

"My little darlings will capture them."

"They're only half-finished products..."

"...but they're still incredibly powerful."

"And only two of those contestants can fight."

Laners remained silent, continuing to watch the projection.

Dr. Ganlun added one final sentence.

"Once they're captured..."

"...Number Two's zither will be yours."

With that, he turned toward Wanrenzhan, eyes filled with excitement.

Laners could hear him laughing.

"Hahaha!"

"This time it will definitely succeed."

"Number Three..."

"...you're truly my treasure."

"You're different from those half-finished products."

"I'll transform you..."

"...into the most perfect masterpiece."

Laners glanced back once.

Then he looked at the projection again.

A faint mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Definitely capture them?

...Not necessarily.

—

Eugene and Ling Buchen had encountered serious trouble.

As the gray-faced figures approached, Ling Buchen held Li Zhan's zither across his chest.

A murderous melody burst forth.

Invisible attacks sliced toward the enemies like countless blades.

The zither's power was no weaker than the laboratory's photon blades.

And yet...

...it failed to stop them.

The gray-faced figures charged straight through.

They were immune to sonic attacks.

Eugene's chainsaw slashed toward the leading enemy.

This was the same mechanical arm capable of cutting straight through solid flooring.

Yet...

...it left only several shallow cuts.

"What the fuck are these things?"

Qu Wu cursed.

"Humans or monsters?!"

No defensive equipment.

Yet defensive power this terrifying.

These things couldn't possibly be human!

As it happened...

Qu Wu had guessed correctly.

"Together!"

Ling Buchen shouted.

Every attack from his zither instantly concentrated on the enemy's neck.

The gray-faced figure raised an arm to block.

At the exact same moment...

Eugene's chainsaw also swept toward the neck.

Both attacks landed simultaneously.

The arm fell off.

Not a single drop of blood emerged.

The creature had lost an entire arm...

...yet still lunged ferociously toward them.

Its remaining hand swung its machete directly at Ling Buchen.

Watching the scene, Duan Yuchen drew a deep breath.

"I'm afraid..."

"...they really aren't human."

Eugene raised his mechanical arm to intercept the blade.

CLANG—

The machete snapped in half.

The chainsaw tore through the broken weapon and into the creature's body.

It felt even harder than cutting concrete.

The creature seemed incapable of feeling either pain or fear.

It clamped its flesh around the chainsaw...

...even reaching out to grab it with its hand.

Meanwhile, another gray-faced figure ignored every injury covering its body and charged directly at Ling Buchen.

The zither's attacks were useless.

Wave after wave of sonic blades tore countless wounds into the creature...

...yet still couldn't stop its advance.

Behind them...

A third figure attempted to rush straight past the frontline toward He Yu and the others.

Duan Yuchen, Qu Wu, and Siya gripped whatever objects they'd picked up from the laboratory as improvised weapons.

Every muscle in their bodies tensed.

Qiong held several laboratory components she'd grabbed earlier.

She was already assembling a new decoder.

Only He Yu remained perfectly still.

One hand rested upon the movable bed.

His eyes were gently closed.

He hadn't moved once.

"He Yu!"

"What do we do?!"

Qu Wu was panicking.

Eugene blocked the third gray-faced figure with his other mechanical arm.

But both of his arms were now occupied.

These creatures, as solid as walking fortresses, were unbelievably difficult opponents.

The third one had been stopped.

Then the fourth suddenly vaulted over all of them...

...heading straight for the people in the rear.

At last...

He Yu opened his eyes.

Beneath the lenses, those sharp black eyes gleamed brilliantly.

The corner of his lips curled upward.

"I have a crazy plan."

"Want to give it a try?"
