This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Wanrenzhan's eyes were still shifting between red and green when a weak voice finally escaped his lips.

It was so faint that it almost seemed inaudible, making everyone wonder whether they had imagined it.

But his lips moved.

And He Yu was standing right in front of him.

Naturally, he heard it.

Not far away, Eugene's eyes widened in shock. He shoved a gray-faced monster aside with his chainsaw before taking several quick steps forward.

"Did he just call your name? Is he... okay now?"

He Yu smiled and nodded.

"I think so."

Wanrenzhan had regained a trace of consciousness.

And He Yu knew—

As long as Wanrenzhan could recover his awareness...

He would endure.

If he endured...

He would live.

—Wanrenzhan had survived.

【Bullet Screen: "AHHH... I don't even know why, but suddenly I'm crying."】

【Bullet Screen: "Watching them stand together moves me so much more than watching cold-blooded slaughter. Feelings are what truly move people. He Yu is calling Wanrenzhan back, and Wanrenzhan forced himself to survive because of He Yu."】

【Bullet Screen: "Waaah... I really want to cry..."】

【Bullet Screen: "Brotherhood is so much better than a deathmatch!! My god, I never imagined I'd witness something this united in the Top Talent Show!"】

Wanrenzhan's swollen body slowly shrank back to normal.

The green and red repeatedly flashing through his eyes gradually faded, allowing a brief moment of clarity to return.

His eyes, still mixed with traces of green, red, and their original silver-gray color, slowly shifted toward He Yu.

His lips moved silently.

"I'm still alive... Don't even think... about using me... as a weapon..."

He had only just regained consciousness.

Yet his first instinct was still to argue with He Yu.

Even though he knew He Yu had only said those words to wake him...

Even though he was happy...

His words still sounded like a challenge.

As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on He Yu, filled with attachment and relief.

The next second, his eyelids closed.

His enormous body toppled straight toward He Yu.

His body was now practically a living weapon.

If that weight landed squarely on He Yu, it might not kill him—but it certainly wouldn't end well.

Ling Buchen grabbed He Yu's wrist and pulled him sideways.

Wanrenzhan completely missed him and collapsed into Eugene's arms instead.

Eugene: "..."

Supporting the unconscious giant, Eugene curled his lips.

"Forget it. Looking at you like this, I can't even be bothered to argue anymore."

Not far away, Duan Yuchen, Qiong, and Siya, who were still fighting, all smiled toward them.

Even Zhen Xing, who had only just been exchanging blows with Wanrenzhan moments ago, smiled faintly.

Wanrenzhan was alright.

Somehow...

That felt pretty good.

【Bullet Screen: "Watching them smile made me smile too."】

【Bullet Screen: "Thinking back to the beginning... everyone wanted everyone else dead. Seeing someone die used to be exciting. But now... hahaha... I like the current them so much more!"】

【Bullet Screen: "I'm smiling and crying at the same time."】

Inside the laboratory...

Dr. Ganlun couldn't smile.

He hadn't exploded...

He had actually regained consciousness!

Dr. Ganlun's body trembled slightly.

There was fear.

Pain.

Regret.

Such perfect experimental material...

Wanrenzhan.

Zhen Xing.

They had both been pushed to that extent...

Yet they still recovered their own consciousness.

—Such physical potential.

—Such overwhelming willpower.

Weren't these exactly the perfect experimental subjects for his god-making experiment?

Yet now...

Both stood against him.

Regret consumed Dr. Ganlun.

He should never have lowered his guard.

He should have killed He Yu long ago.

If He Yu had died earlier...

These people would all have become his experimental subjects.

They could have completed his god-making experiment.

How had he allowed himself to underestimate someone simply because He Yu's combat power was only two?

Combat power should never have been the standard by which a person was judged.

That brilliant mind...

Was far more terrifying than overwhelming strength.

Like everyone else who had underestimated He Yu because of his combat power...

Dr. Ganlun was filled with regret.

He Yu's absurdly low combat power had become the greatest disguise imaginable.

People underestimated him.

And because they underestimated him...

He could manipulate far more than anyone realized.

Unfortunately...

Not a single remaining contestant underestimated him anymore.

More and more gray-faced monsters fell.

Wanrenzhan collapsed.

The laboratory had remained peaceful for too long.

Its size was limited.

Most of the countless failed experiments and incomplete creations had already been destroyed by Dr. Ganlun.

The monsters on the upper floors had also been dealt with by He Yu's group yesterday.

Now...

The doctor suddenly realized he had nothing left capable of stopping these overwhelmingly powerful people.

Leaning forward, he stared fixedly at the wall monster.

At that battlefield.

He still had his strongest creation.

It would stop them.

"It... Subject A-99... is invincible..."

Dr. Ganlun repeated those words under his breath.

"No one can kill it."

Blue Eyes glanced back at He Yu.

He no longer wished to waste time fighting.

But this wasn't his own body.

He couldn't bring out even a fraction of his true strength.

Those ocean-deep azure eyes lowered briefly before becoming sharp once again.

Looking directly at the wall monster, he said calmly,

"Together."

"Let's finish this."

Zhen Xing paused.

He knew...

Blue Eyes was speaking to him.

Among everyone present, Zhen Xing's feelings toward Blue Eyes were the most complicated.

Even knowing who Blue Eyes truly was...

He didn't idolize him the way Duan Yuchen and the others did.

He simply wanted to fight strong opponents.

And for some inexplicable reason...

He found Blue Eyes irritating.

That irritation completely overwhelmed any admiration he might have felt.

After pressing his lips together, Zhen Xing answered hoarsely,

"Fine."

The guqin sang.

The Rubik's Cube rotated.

At the exact same moment—

Both unleashed their strongest attack.

Their attacks transformed into two enormous blades.

Midair...

The two blades merged into one.

Then shot directly toward the wall monster.

"BOOM—"

The entire underground level shook violently.

The gigantic blade pierced straight into the monster.

They seemed to hear its agonized howl.

They watched as the massive weapon nailed it firmly in place.

The attack contained such overwhelming energy...

Such concentrated power...

That the phantom blade refused to dissipate.

It remained there like a tangible object, pinning the monster to the ground.

The monster writhed.

Roared.

Its body, once resembling a wall, dissolved into something like flowing mud.

It struggled again and again.

Yet never managed to rise.

—The wall monster was no longer a threat.

Inside the laboratory...

Dr. Ganlun collapsed helplessly into his chair.

Having exhausted themselves completely, Blue Eyes and Zhen Xing both fell to the ground.

Zhen Xing's vision darkened.

Supporting himself on one hand, he barely managed to stand.

Elsewhere...

The blue eyes on Lan Ersi's face flickered twice.

For a brief instant...

They almost reverted to brown.

He Yu watched him closely.

Blue Eyes looked back.

Gradually...

The azure color stabilized once more.

Then—

He smiled at He Yu.

Using the guqin as support, he slowly rose to his feet.

His body swayed.

Yet he strode forward regardless.

With one effortless motion, he tossed the guqin back to Ling Buchen.

Then he stretched out one arm...

And pulled He Yu firmly into his embrace.

The black warden's uniform was rigid.

The blue prison uniform was soft.

The seemingly cold prison warden was warm.

The seemingly fragile prisoner always carried a naturally low body temperature.

Warmth surrounded He Yu.

For a brief instant...

It felt as though he had returned to Frozen Paradise.

No matter how fierce the wind or snow outside became...

The Frost Beast's raised paw still shielded him.

That had been a paradise where he needed no schemes.

No calculations.

No worries.

Only a brief moment of peace.

Blue Eyes was much taller than He Yu.

Resting his chin atop He Yu's head came naturally.

Lowering his head, he buried his face against He Yu's neck and gently rubbed against him.

He looked exactly like a giant cat asking for affection.

It was impossible to associate him with the terrifying fighter from moments ago.

Duan Yuchen, together with Qiong and Siya, finished off the final monster.

Then all three looked toward the pair with expressions that were... complicated.

Nearby...

Zhen Xing.

Ling Buchen.

Eugene.

The three stood side by side, expressionless, watching them.

Eugene absentmindedly shook the unconscious Wanrenzhan.

For the first time ever...

He genuinely wished Wanrenzhan were awake.

—If Wanrenzhan were conscious...

He'd definitely be throwing a fit right now.

—He might even rush over and physically separate them.

Before today...

None of them had taken Blue Eyes too seriously.

After all...

He had only been an NPC.

Now they knew exactly who that "NPC" was.

And they knew he could appear across multiple instances.

That made it impossible to view him the same way again.

【Bullet Screen: "AHHHHH! The official partner is feeding us!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "We've gone through so many instances... I don't know why, but suddenly I'm tearing up."】

【Bullet Screen: "Me too... I've actually started crying. Blue Eyes has been killed four times..."】

【Bullet Screen: "HAHAHA! Am I the only one who thinks everyone around them looks incredibly jealous?"】

【Bullet Screen: "Same! Just look at Zhen Xing's and Ling Buchen's faces. I guarantee they're mentally calculating whether they can kill Blue Eyes."】

【Bullet Screen: "EUGENE! You're going to shake that idiot into a concussion!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "I wish Wanrenzhan were awake. This scene would be so much funnier."】

The Bullet Screen had never been livelier.

Moments earlier, everyone had fought through a bloody battle.

Now every single person was exhausted.

Behind them, the wall monster remained pinned to the ground, still struggling desperately.

Around them lay countless gray-faced monsters and experimental creatures.

Those monsters had been incredibly difficult opponents.

The floor was covered with severed limbs.

Blood was everywhere.

Even those still standing were wounded from head to toe.

Amid that sea of blood...

The two embracing one another radiated warmth.

Making the moment all the more precious.

Blue Eyes' tall frame gently rubbed against He Yu's neck.

Breathing in his scent, he spoke hoarsely,

"I've wanted to do this for a long time..."

Previously...

Every appearance had been incomplete.

His memories had always been fragmented.

The first time...

He had been the giant cat.

He knew nothing.

The second time...

He had become the ghost Li.

He possessed a human form...

But no memories.

The third time...

He had become the Devil Vine.

He had gained something resembling a human silhouette.

Only at the very end had faint memories begun to return.

The fourth time...

He had become the little black Tangyuan.

Whether he remembered anything hardly mattered.

Both he and He Yu had been little balls.

As for the giant fish...

Blue Eyes refused to acknowledge that version as himself.

Even now...

His memories were still incomplete.

But he knew who he was.

He knew He Yu.

That was enough.

Holding He Yu like this in a human body...

Blue Eyes smiled with unmistakable satisfaction.

He had crossed rivers of blood.

Survived endless hunts.

Endured the system's repeated purges.

And in the end...

A single gentle embrace was enough to satisfy him.

He Yu rested his cheek against Blue Eyes' chest.

Listening to his steady heartbeat.

Wrapped in his familiar presence.

He slowly raised a hand and patted Blue Eyes gently on the back.

Speaking softly, he said,

"I'm happy you have your memories this time."

"But... if I'm not mistaken..."

"This isn't your body, is it?"

—An absolute master at ruining the mood.

Blue Eyes froze.

He Yu smiled.

"So..."

"Are you still planning to keep hugging me?"

Blue Eyes: "..."

【Bullet Screen: "HAHAHAHA! Of course it's you, He Yu!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "I'm dying! He Yu is truly the eternal destroyer of romance!"】

【Bullet Screen: "I want to laugh and cry at the same time... but honestly, the official ship just hits differently from every other ship."】

【Bullet Screen: "Heh. Blue Eyes is doomed to die eventually. My Zhen Xing × He Yu ship will live forever!"】

Blue Eyes sounded aggrieved.

"I finally got to see you..."

At that moment...

There wasn't a trace of toughness left in him.

He was nothing more than an enormous cat in human form.

Zhen Xing stepped forward expressionlessly until he stood beside them.

"Excuse me."

Everyone: "..."

—What kind of "Excuse me" was that?!

Ling Buchen calmly stored away the guqin.

"Shouldn't we deal with what comes next?"

"Our time is limited."

"We shouldn't waste it on unimportant matters."

Everyone: "..."

—So hugging counted as wasting time?

Qiong exchanged a glance with Siya.

Both immediately saw the same unmistakable gossip-loving amusement in each other's eyes.

Blue Eyes' aggrieved expression instantly disappeared.

His gaze swept over Zhen Xing and Ling Buchen.

His eyes became cold as knives.

The domineering aura from moments ago returned.

The three locked eyes.

None of them gave an inch.

Keeping one arm around He Yu's waist, Blue Eyes said calmly,

"There's still an hour before 23:00."

"What's the hurry?"

Hearing that, He Yu gently patted the hand around his waist.

Blue Eyes immediately changed expressions again.

His imposing aura vanished.

Looking thoroughly wronged, he obediently released He Yu.

His azure eyes remained fixed on him.

His gaze settled upon the wound at the center of He Yu's forehead.

Raising one hand, he gently brushed across it.

His eyes were filled with fury...

And heartache.

His voice turned hoarse.

"Does it hurt?"

He Yu shook his head.

"This injury doesn't amount to much in this competition."

Inside the Top Talent Show...

Just like Wanrenzhan...

No matter what happened to you...

As long as you survived...

That alone was worth celebrating.

Blue Eyes opened his mouth.

He wanted to say something.

In the end...

He swallowed every word.

Only his eyes became deeper.

Like an abyss capable of swallowing everything.

He didn't care how many times he himself died.

He didn't care how many times the system purged him.

But He Yu's injuries...

Even the smallest wound...

He cared.

He Yu paid no attention to his own injury.

After studying him carefully, he asked,

"You've been inside this instance all along?"

Blue Eyes paused briefly.

Then nodded.

He had always been here.

Now...

He could only borrow Lan Ersi's body.

Which meant...

The Blue Eyes that had originally existed inside this instance...

Was already dead.

What remained now was merely a fragment of consciousness.

A consciousness that sensed He Yu...

And came to him.

He Yu's breathing faltered.

He closed his eyes.

When he opened them again...

They were colder than the lenses of his rimless glasses.

Turning around, he walked calmly toward the laboratory.

His voice remained level.

Yet every word carried killing intent.

"I originally thought Dr. Ganlun had at least a little talent."

"I wasn't planning to kill him before leaving."

"But now..."

"I think he deserves to die."

Even if Dr. Ganlun was merely an NPC...

He Yu wanted to kill him before leaving.

—If Blue Eyes had to die...

He could only die by He Yu's own hand.

Who gave anyone else the right to kill him?

The soft blue prison uniform made him appear almost sickly thin.

Yet his sharp gaze transformed him into an unsheathed blade.

Cold.

Brilliant.

Dangerous.

Step.

Step.

Step.

He walked steadily toward the laboratory entrance.

Unhurried.

His rimless glasses rested upon the bridge of his nose, lending him an even colder elegance.

The blue prison uniform swayed gently.

On him...

It somehow looked noble.

Proud.

Whatever He Yu intended to do...

Blue Eyes followed without hesitation.

Everyone else quickly followed behind.

Stopping before the laboratory door, He Yu looked at the reinforced entrance and said calmly,

"Eugene. Qiong."

"Open it."

Now that both Eugene and Qiong were free, the two working together could crack the door far faster than Eugene could cut through it.

Yet before either of them moved...

The door opened on its own.

Inside...

Dr. Ganlun sat quietly in his chair.

A black case rested beside him.

The madness from before had completely disappeared.

He looked at them coldly.

He Yu looked back with even colder eyes.

Supporting Wanrenzhan over one shoulder, Eugene snorted.

"What? Realized you can't stop us, so you're opening the door and waiting to die?"

Dr. Ganlun merely glanced at him.

He wasn't interested.

Instead...

He looked deeply at Zhen Xing.

Then Wanrenzhan.

Finally...

He looked at He Yu.

"The exit is through the corridor beside this room."

"There's a door."

"It wouldn't stop you anyway..."

"So I opened it."

His words made Eugene and the others pause.

What had happened to Dr. Ganlun?

He was actually giving up?

Removing his glasses, He Yu picked up a clean, soft cloth from nearby.

Slowly wiping the lenses, he asked flatly,

"Why?"

Dr. Ganlun stiffly turned his head toward "Lan Ersi."

His voice had become rough.

"...Perhaps..."

"...because I still have the last trace of a conscience."

He Yu said nothing.

He merely looked at him coldly.

He wasn't moved in the slightest.

Talking about conscience now...

Was far too late.

Dr. Ganlun didn't dare look directly at Blue Eyes.

Instead, his gaze swept over everyone behind He Yu.

His eyes overflowed with regret.

"You really are extraordinary experimental subjects."

"The best I've encountered in all these years."

"What a pity."

Zhen Xing remained expressionless.

His phoenix eyes were filled with disgust.

"You don't get to pity us."

"Your god-making experiment will never succeed."

At those words, Dr. Ganlun finally exploded.

"You're lying!"

He glared furiously at Zhen Xing.

Then looked toward He Yu.

"You know I'm right, don't you?"

"My process wasn't wrong!"

"Even if there were mistakes before, after your hints, everything became correct!"

"You said yourself my experiment could succeed!"

"No."

He Yu mercilessly shattered his final hope.

"I lied."

"Your experiment can never succeed."

"A god..."

"Can never be artificially created."

Dr. Ganlun's body trembled.

It was as though something shattered inside his eyes.

He was an experimental fanatic.

Even facing death...

Even seeing his creations defeated...

Nothing had ever broken him like this.

His faith itself had collapsed.

Looking at him, He Yu slowly said,

"A god requires more than power."

"A god also requires the heart of a god."

"Artificial experimentation..."

"...will never succeed."

Dr. Ganlun's line of thought wasn't entirely wrong.

Although he called the energy "divine power"...

He understood that becoming a god wasn't simply a matter of piling up equipment the way the Federation did.

If he had applied that theory merely to increasing combat strength...

There would have been nothing wrong.

Instead...

He attempted to manufacture gods.

—Foolish.

"No!"

"You're lying!"

"I'm right!"

Dr. Ganlun's face twisted into madness.

Pointing at the fully conscious Zhen Xing, he shouted,

"You'll regret this!"

"You had the chance to become a god through my hands!"

"But you—"

Zhen Xing cut him off.

His expression remained icy.

"No."

"I won't regret it."

"I'll become a god through my own strength."

Become a god...

Through my own strength.

Those six words completely destroyed Dr. Ganlun.

The last bit of resolve holding him together vanished.

His body collapsed into the chair.

Motionless.

His face was filled with the pain and emptiness of someone whose lifelong belief had just been crushed.

Putting his glasses back on, He Yu walked closer.

Closer still.

His voice remained cold.

"I once encountered someone researching divine power."

"He tried to achieve it by making people 'eat' another person."

Mr. Louis from Ghost Town.

He had hidden away the ghost Li.

Piece by piece...

He carved him apart.

Creating countless ghosts.

This instance also contained someone researching "divine power."

Which meant...

It must also have begun with Blue Eyes.

He Yu stopped directly before the doctor.

Blue Eyes stood just behind him in a protective stance.

He Yu continued,

"Even if you didn't make people literally 'eat' him..."

"It was probably something similar."

Disgust filled his eyes.

Looking down at Dr. Ganlun, he continued,

"Your serum was extremely strange."

"It contained unimaginable amounts of energy."

"I originally thought you were brilliant for creating something like that."

"But later I realized..."

"You aren't."

"You don't even understand energy particularly well."

"So..."

"You didn't create the serum."

"You extracted it from someone else."

"Didn't you?"

Dr. Ganlun pressed his lips together.

He had already accepted death.

He didn't want to answer.

Perhaps because Blue Eyes was looking at him...

He suddenly raised his head toward him.

His voice trembled.

"It was you..."

"You've come back!"

Blue Eyes ignored him.

At the beginning of every instance...

He possessed no memories.

To merge into an instance without being detected...

He had to enter it from its earliest point.

By becoming part of the instance's very origin...

He remained hidden.

Yet if He Yu investigated deeply enough...

He would always find him.

Just like in Ghost Town.

His existence...

The doctor's possession of him...

The construction of this underground laboratory...

The formation of Death Prison...

All of it had created this instance.

Unfortunately...

The doctor had killed him before his body could wait for He Yu.

Blue Eyes had no interest whatsoever in the man before him.

All he cared about...

Was seeing He Yu.

Dr. Ganlun's trembling finger pointed toward the black case beside him.

His expression contained both regret and fear.

His voice shook.

"Inside..."

"There's still some left..."

"Your blood..."

"I dissolved your body into your blood."

Behind them...

Zhen Xing and the others all changed expressions.

—The serum they had injected...

Had been made from Blue Eyes' flesh and blood.

He Yu took a deep breath.

Turning toward Blue Eyes, he met those unwavering eyes fixed solely on himself.

Speaking softly, he said,

"You really are Tang Monk's flesh..."

Blue Eyes didn't understand.

Neither did the others.

Only Ling Buchen grasped the meaning.

Yes.

Tang Monk's flesh.

Something everyone wanted to consume.

People wanted to devour him inside the instances.

Then what about outside them?

What about the Federation?

He Yu sneered.

Looking behind himself, Eugene and Zhen Xing immediately stepped forward, each grabbing one of Dr. Ganlun's arms.

The doctor offered no resistance.

He seemed to have accepted everything.

He Yu reached out.

His long, slender fingers picked up the knife resting nearby.

Looking down at the blade...

Then slowly lifting his gaze forward...

As though looking beyond space itself...

Beyond the Top Talent Show...

Toward those watching outside...

He spoke calmly.

Yet every word sent chills down the spine.

"So the only way you know to study a god..."

"...is to kill one."

"...and eat one."

"You lack the ability to become a god yourself..."

"So you steal the fruit someone else has grown."

Looking ahead, he sneered.

His eyes were freezing.

"Everyone pays for what they've done."

"If you plant the seeds of evil in the past..."

"You will inevitably harvest evil in the future."

The knife plunged into Dr. Ganlun's heart.

Blood splattered across He Yu's face.

Combined with the wound at the center of his forehead...

He looked both immortal...

And demonic.

Calmly, he said,

"Everyone will pay the price."

"No one..."

"...is an exception."
