This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

The moment Wanrenzhan opened his eyes, before he even understood what had happened, he was teleported into the Transfer Station.

Everyone disappeared from outside the gate.

[Bullet Screen: “HAHAHAHA I'm dying! Wanrenzhan woke up at exactly this moment!”]

[Bullet Screen: “His damn luck is insane. Carried all the way through.”]

[Bullet Screen: “The big dummy may be a little dense, but his luck is unbelievable. Last season he was the only one who made it out alive, and this season he's getting carried again.”]

[Bullet Screen: “His luck in this instance is He Yu. Hahaha, hold tight to He Yu's thigh!”]

Outside the Royal Palace.

Qiao couldn't stop himself from smiling. Tugging at the collar he had wrinkled from nervous fidgeting, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Wonderful. He Yu's solution was brilliant. Better than anyone could have expected."

No one had imagined the instance would end this way.

Even less had anyone imagined that everyone could advance despite there being a Killer.

It had been completely unexpected.

And wonderfully surprising.

Beside him, his friend smiled as well.

"I always thought the Top Talent Show was nothing but slaughter. Turns out, there's cooperation too."

If Ling Buchen hadn't helped conceal He Yu's identity...

If He Yu hadn't chosen to spend his votes to leave...

If, during those final desperate moments, they had attacked He Yu...

The ending would have been completely different.

This outcome was the result of He Yu's efforts.

It was also the result of Zhen Xing and the others.

If it had been any other group of contestants, the moment they confirmed He Yu was the Killer, with time running out like that, they would have rushed to kill him.

He Yu would never have had time to wait for the votes.

This ending would never have existed.

This path had been incredibly dangerous.

One mistake, and everything would have collapsed at the last moment.

Yet somehow...

It felt like the most satisfying, the most inspiring conclusion possible.

Larry's eyes were red.

"The system's rules were so vicious... thank goodness He Yu is so smart."

Qiao looked into the distance.

"Yeah... he really is. Breaking the rules, refusing to play by convention... it makes people..."

"...believe in him."

—You can always trust He Yu.

—He always does everything he possibly can to fulfill his promises.

Larry kept staring at the screen. Just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly froze, his eyes widening.

"The King released an announcement video!"

Qiao and his friend immediately hurried over.

Everyone waiting outside the Royal Palace switched their screens to the King's newly released broadcast.

On the screen, the King wore a solemn expression.

His posture was upright.

His attitude sincere.

"Citizens of the Federation, regarding..."

He began his speech.

Everyone listened carefully, hoping to hear the answers they had been waiting for.

Hoping for a satisfactory explanation.

But the longer they listened...

The worse their expressions became.

Larry's face darkened. Several times he wanted to interrupt, yet restrained himself and continued listening.

The smile at the corner of Qiao's mouth became increasingly sarcastic.

His eyes were filled with mockery.

The video wasn't long.

At the end, the King looked directly into the camera with complete sincerity.

Dark circles and puffiness beneath his eyes showed he hadn't slept.

"...I haven't rested for a very long time. I was busy coordinating with every planet and waiting for the investigation results, which is why I couldn't respond sooner. I sincerely apologize. It's cold outside at night. Everyone should return home and rest as soon as possible.

"If you're unwilling to leave, you may stay at the temporary rest station beside the Royal Palace. Supplies are already on their way. Rest assured, wherever you are, I will absolutely give everyone an explanation as quickly as possible."

The words sounded considerate.

They also sounded resolute.

Yet neither Larry nor Qiao said anything.

The sarcasm in their eyes only deepened.

The King's speech could be summarized as follows—

First.

He knew nothing about the gods.

The gods had always been mysterious, appearing and disappearing without warning.

He had contacted every major planet.

Although gods had been seen in the past, none had appeared in recent years.

Second.

The gods were unimaginably powerful.

No one should be capable of defeating them.

Third.

He would actively search for the gods and provide everyone with an explanation as soon as possible.

Fourth.

The Top Talent Show had undergone a thorough investigation.

No abnormalities had been found.

If everything wasn't merely coincidence, then whoever was operating behind the scenes was hiding extraordinarily well.

Mechanical Planet had already dispatched a professional technical team to join the Top Talent Show production staff, ensuring the competition would no longer be interfered with.

Fifth.

The King warned everyone attempting to oppose the Federation.

He hoped they would stop immediately.

Otherwise, the Federation would find them and punish them by the harshest means possible.

Sixth.

The energy cultivation system would be promoted as soon as possible.

Significant progress had already been made.

Seventh...

...

He said a great deal.

Yet somehow...

It also felt as though he hadn't said anything at all.

At the very least, he hadn't given them a single concrete answer.

The gods?

Impossible to contact.

The competition?

Apparently nothing was wrong.

Larry clenched his fist.

"What kind of explanation is that? Does the King really know nothing?"

Qiao sneered.

"We'd be better off counting on He Yu inside the competition than counting on the King. Let's keep waiting. The King can stall for a day or two, but he can't drag this out forever."

Their friend looked equally displeased.

After thinking for a moment, he said,

"The King's explanation is definitely going to anger everyone paying attention. Those experts and the major families won't just stand by. Let's wait and see."

Qiao nodded with a faint smile.

"If the King can't solve it, someone else will step forward."

If the King couldn't provide a satisfactory answer...

Someone would inevitably seize this opportunity to win public support.

And threaten the King's authority.

Larry nodded.

"A professional team joining the production staff... hopefully the next competition will finally be fair."

Qiao waved dismissively.

"Switch the screen. Watching the King isn't nearly as interesting as watching He Yu."

Larry hurriedly nodded.

Every time He Yu and the others entered the Transfer Station, they analyzed the previous instance together.

Since they had cleared this one early...

Their stay in the Transfer Station would also be much longer.

What...

Would they figure out this time?

As for the upcoming semifinals...

They would know whether the competition was truly fair once they saw the rules.

If fairness still couldn't be achieved...

Then the King's explanation would truly become a joke.

—

Blue Star.

Wei Jiaguo's body swayed violently.

He almost collapsed before his secretary hurriedly caught him.

Leaning against the secretary for support, he barely managed to stay standing.

He waved his hand.

Despite the exhaustion on his face, he revealed a radiant smile.

His hoarse voice carried unmistakable pride.

"As expected of He Yu... beautifully done!"

The secretary looked worried.

"You should really get some rest."

Only a short time had passed.

Yet Wei Jiaguo had visibly aged.

White hair had appeared.

Several deep wrinkles lined his face.

He looked utterly exhausted.

Wei Jiaguo simply shook his head.

"It's fine. This is Blue Star's most critical moment. I can't afford to let us down."

Nearby, Ye Kaijun let out a long sigh.

"I hope everything goes smoothly from here on... I hope Blue Star stays safe."

Wei Jiaguo pressed his lips together.

"As long as the Federation hasn't figured out how to cultivate the energy system, they'll continue protecting Blue Star."

"But..."

"The people behind the scenes will also keep watching Blue Star."

Once the Federation successfully obtained the cultivation method...

They would no longer protect Blue Star.

Likewise, the hidden mastermind would no longer focus on Blue Star.

The problem was—

Blue Star had no way to officially join the Universe Federation.

Nor could they successfully send the materials over.

Open a passageway...

It was attacked.

Transmit the information...

It was hacked.

Transport the materials...

They were ambushed.

The hidden mastermind's capabilities...

Had far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Ye Kaijun said,

"The new operation is much more secretive. It'll definitely succeed."

Wei Jiaguo nodded.

Lowering his voice, he murmured,

"Yes... if it still fails this time..."

"...then there truly won't be anything left we can do."

They had devised an entirely new plan.

This time...

Every planet had formulated its own separate arrangements.

First.

The District Two diplomatic delegation would take responsibility for transmitting the research materials from Blue Star to the Federation.

Second.

Every planetary delegation stationed within the Federation would send representatives back to their own worlds carrying copies of the materials.

Finally.

The King had dispatched an even stronger team to reopen the passageway.

Three approaches at once.

If they still failed...

Then the mastermind behind everything would be far more terrifying than anyone imagined.

Seeing Wei Jiaguo's gloomy expression, Ye Kaijun deliberately changed the subject with a smile.

"The newly arrived Federation delegation brought some good news. Even though the passageway hasn't been opened yet, the Federation has already officially recognized Blue Star as a member of the Universe Federation, granting us Federation rights."

After pausing, he joked,

"At least now we can send Bullet Screens and vote for He Yu."

Wei Jiaguo wasn't comforted at all.

Rolling his eyes, he replied,

"There wasn't even voting in the semifinals. We didn't help him one bit."

After saying that, he clasped his hands behind his back and walked away, sighing repeatedly.

Ye Kaijun: "..."

He smiled helplessly and looked into the distance.

Under his breath, he murmured,

"The semifinals..."

"He Yu..."

"You have to come back alive."

Blue Star still lagged far behind the Federation.

If the energy cultivation system could truly be promoted...

If He Yu survived...

Everything could become better.

That day...

Would surely come.

—

Transfer Station.

He Yu entered only moments before Zhen Xing and the others.

When he arrived, Zhante was already standing beneath the projection.

He stood perfectly straight, his weapon strapped to his back.

A heavy gloom radiated from him.

No one nearby approached him.

He Yu glanced over.

Before he could walk over, Zhen Xing's group appeared beside him.

They had barely landed when voices erupted.

Eugene glared at him.

"He Yu! You clearly already had a solution! Why did you still scare us like that? Do you know how miserable those last few minutes were for me?!"

Thinking that He Yu was going to die...

He didn't even dare remember how he had felt.

He raised his fist while walking over.

Just before it reached He Yu...

It opened into a hand.

He pulled He Yu tightly into a hug.

Zhen Xing expressionlessly dragged Eugene away.

Then he smiled gently at He Yu.

"It's good that you're alright."

He had countless things he wanted to say.

Yet in the end...

Only those five words came out.

He Yu was alive.

Nothing could be better than that.

Ling Buchen silently walked behind He Yu once again.

His presence remained almost nonexistent.

Duan Yuchen watched He Yu from afar.

Then smiled.

Siya's eyes were slightly red.

"Don't scare us like that again. We were terrified."

Qiong nodded.

"Exactly. Siya even cried."

Siya: "???"

She stared at her.

"Hey, Bean Sprout! What are you talking about? Who cried? You were the one who almost cried, and now you're blaming me?"

Qiong lifted her chin confidently.

She would never cry.

Wanrenzhan still looked utterly confused.

"So... what exactly happened? I remember the doctor captured me. After that everything became blurry. I vaguely remember hearing He Yu calling me. Then I opened my eyes and saw He Yu... and after that I don't remember anything."

He barely remembered anything from the previous instance.

How had he advanced?

Why had He Yu advanced before all of them?

What exactly had happened?!

Everyone: "..."

Every single one of them looked at him with naked jealousy.

Eugene said expressionlessly,

"You'd better stop talking. Otherwise I'm going to strangle you out of jealousy. We should've just left you behind."

Then he looked at He Yu again.

Clearly wanting another hug.

Unfortunately...

Zhen Xing was staring at him like death itself.

Watching everyone laughing together, He Yu smiled.

His voice carried warmth.

"We're all alive."

"That's wonderful."

One sentence.

And several pairs of eyes instantly reddened again.

Eugene finally gave up resisting.

He wrapped his arms around He Yu once more.

He nearly lifted him off the ground.

Zhen Xing had originally intended to stop him.

Instead...

Ling Buchen quietly hugged He Yu from behind.

Seeing that...

Zhen Xing smiled helplessly.

He stepped forward.

Opened his arms.

Soon several of them were hugging together.

Duan Yuchen protested,

"Hey! Don't leave me out!"

Siya raised her hand.

"Me too!"

Qiong said nothing.

She simply joined them.

Seven people.

Holding one another tightly.

In the middle of the Transfer Station they looked completely out of place.

Yet strangely...

Perfectly harmonious.

Very few people could truly understand everything they had experienced during this instance.

Surviving certain death.

Dancing on the edge of death.

The relief.

The joy.

The gratitude.

Those emotions couldn't easily be described.

They lingered in the heart for a very long time.

Someone patted He Yu's head.

Someone ruffled his hair.

Someone rested their forehead on his shoulder...

Wanrenzhan blinked.

"???"

Forget it!

He was part of the team too.

"Me too!"

He charged over.

Opening both massive arms, he wrapped them around everyone.

Of course...

The person he really wanted to hug was He Yu in the middle.

To reach He Yu...

He squeezed harder and harder.

Eugene roared,

"Cough—Wanrenzhan, ease up! Do you have any idea how ridiculously high your combat power is now?!"

Wanrenzhan's eyes lit up.

"Huh? Really? I've actually become this strong? Awesome! Getting stronger without even knowing what happened feels amazing."

His arm squeezed between Zhen Xing and Eugene as he tried to reach He Yu.

Excitedly he said,

"He Yu, you've treated me so well. You never abandoned me. I know everything. Don't worry, I definitely—"

Duan Yuchen looked expressionlessly at the others.

"Let's beat him."

"Agreed."

Zhen Xing nodded.

Five people immediately surrounded Wanrenzhan and started beating him up.

Even Ling Buchen silently lifted one leg and casually kicked Wanrenzhan in the backside before calmly withdrawing it.

He Yu squeezed himself out of the pile.

Shaking his head helplessly.

[Bullet Screen: "HAHAHAHA I'm dying."]

[Bullet Screen: "Wanrenzhan was already envy-inducing, and {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} he still had to show off."]

[Bullet Screen: "Serves him right! Even I want to beat him! Hit him harder. He deserves it."]

[Bullet Screen: "What a difference. Look at Zhen Xing. First he was used as a shield, then immediately joined the battle after waking up, and during the Killer deduction stage he stayed tense the whole time... Wanrenzhan? Carried straight through."]

[Bullet Screen: "The way He Yu looks at them really feels like a captain looking fondly at his teammates!!"]

[Bullet Screen: "HAHAHA He Yu can be shipped with anyone! But Blue Eyes is still the official partner!"]

Not far away...

Zhante watched them with a faint smile, his long staff resting across his back.

He Yu turned.

Their eyes met.

So He Yu walked over and stopped beside him.

Looking toward the projection, he asked calmly,

"In a bad mood?"

Zhante kept looking at him.

Then tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"You all did an incredible job in that instance."

"You were amazing."

He had entered the Transfer Station first.

Naturally...

He had watched the largest livestream.

He had witnessed every moment of He Yu's astonishing finale.

When He Yu admitted he might be the Killer...

Zhante heard everyone around him gasp.

Then He Yu spent eight million votes to leave.

Everyone advanced.

The surrounding crowd erupted in amazement.

Only Zhante smiled.

Such a breathtaking performance...

Somehow felt completely natural when it was He Yu.

Still...

Zhante couldn't help feeling envious.

Before, he had thought entering the same instance as He Yu was dangerous.

Especially after Money Game.

The system had clearly started arranging total-annihilation instances.

Anyone grouped with He Yu...

Was simply unlucky.

But now...

Zhante desperately wanted to enter an instance with him.

Rather than following the system's arrangements...

He wanted something like Kill the Prisoners.

Everyone trusting one another.

Advancing side by side.

No betrayal.

No scheming.

Facing the challenge together.

Danger?

Perhaps he could accept it.

Death?

Dying while breaking the rules...

Was far better than dying amid betrayal and deception.

Even if he died...

It would be a worthy death.

He Yu remained silent.

Then calmly said,

"In the Top Talent Show, none of us truly has freedom. I'm no exception."

"In this instance I brought seven people out."

"But Cheng Zhao..."

"Annie..."

"And Qu Wu..."

"Stayed behind."

Zhante hadn't said anything.

Yet He Yu seemed to understand everything.

Zhante took a deep breath.

His voice was hoarse.

"Sit?"

He Yu nodded.

Then sat directly on the ground.

Zhante sat beside him.

The moment he did...

He leaned his head onto He Yu's shoulder.

His heavy head rested there as all his strength drained away.

He Yu didn't move.

He simply allowed him to lean there.

Zhante was much larger.

He Yu's shoulders were slender.

Yet somehow...

Leaning against them made Zhante feel completely at ease.

He Yu remained silent.

Quietly watching the projection.

He hadn't seen Zhante's livestream.

But seeing him standing here alone...

Surrounded by loneliness...

It wasn't difficult to guess that his previous instance hadn't ended well.

Just like Qiong during the last visit to the Transfer Station.

This competition contained slaughter.

But it also created bonds that were impossible to abandon.

In Zhante's previous instance...

He had probably received a role similar to He Yu's Killer identity.

In the end...

He had been the only one to make it out.

Those left behind...

Must have included comrades who had fought beside him.

The group that had been beating Wanrenzhan gradually stopped.

Their eyes shifted toward the two people leaning against one another.

Instantly...

Their expressions became less than friendly.

They completely forgot about Wanrenzhan.

Walking straight over.

They could all tell Zhante's emotions were off.

After arriving, none of them said anything.

They simply sat down on both sides.

Wanrenzhan truly had become incredibly tough.

Despite being beaten up by several people only moments ago...

He immediately sprang back to life.

Charging over, he glared at Zhante.

"Zhante! What are you doing? Why are you leaning on He Yu's shoulder?"

Zhante sat up.

Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his emotions before raising a hand.

"Relax."

"I like women with good figures."

"Don't get the wrong idea."

He simply found He Yu dependable.

At times like this...

He Yu seemed capable of becoming an incredibly strong emotional support.

Sure enough...

Just leaning there for a moment had already made him feel much better.

Hearing that, Wanrenzhan relaxed.

"Hmph. Good."

"I'm warning you."

"Don't get any ideas about He Yu."

He squeezed himself between Zhante and He Yu.

Turning toward He Yu...

He flashed two rows of dazzling white teeth.

[Bullet Screen: "...I can't bear to watch this."]

[Bullet Screen: "Damn, the big dummy really has become an even bigger dummy."]

[Bullet Screen: "Who could stay calm after He Yu refused to abandon them? I can totally imagine how moved the big dummy is."]

[Bullet Screen: "By the way, Zhen Xing's self-control is incredible. He literally woke up on He Yu's back."]

[Bullet Screen: "Self-control? No chance. He Yu sliced open the ceiling and descended from the sky, then carried him while escaping the whole way. Zhen Xing is just good at hiding it. Look carefully—has his gaze left He Yu even once?"]

[Bullet Screen: "Zhen Xing × He Yu forever!!"]

[Bullet Screen: "What about Blue Eyes?"]

[Bullet Screen: "He's not here. We'll ship Zhen Xing × He Yu for now, hahaha."]

[Bullet Screen: "Ling Buchen × He Yu is great too!"]

Looking at Wanrenzhan's gleaming grin...

He Yu simply couldn't bear to look.

He quietly turned his eyes away.

His gaze settled on the projection ahead.

The largest livestream belonged to Gedai.

Nearby were Tang Ke's and Yuan Ze's.

Yet He Yu was watching an inconspicuous stream instead—

Bo Jingshan was slaughtering everything in sight.

Ling Buchen was looking the same way.

Softly he said,

"He has become even stronger."

Zhante nodded.

"His situation isn't good."

"What happened?"

Zhante explained,

"In their instance, there's a Hidden One."

"The rules are similar to your Killer."

"If the Hidden One obtains the target item, everyone else fails."

"Right now..."

"Their Hidden One is someone everyone trusts."

He Yu remained perfectly calm.

"It doesn't matter."

"He'll advance."

Eugene turned toward him.

"You're that confident in him?"

He Yu adjusted his rimless glasses.

A sharp gleam flashed across the lenses.

"I have confidence in every one of my teammates."

Duan Yuchen immediately asked,

"Then am I your teammate too?"

He Yu glanced at him.

Smiling faintly.

"Of course."

"As long as I'm alive..."

"I won't let you die."

Those words...

Made everyone else unbelievably jealous.

Duan Yuchen: "!!!"

Ignoring all the envious stares around him, he looked deeply moved.

"He Yu..."

"You're so good to me."

He Yu pulled out his notebook.

Holding the pen cap between his teeth, he flipped to a certain page.

Because he was biting the pen, his words came out slightly muffled.

Still...

Everyone heard them clearly.

"You're the one who owes me the most money."

"If you die..."

"Who am I supposed to collect the debt from?"

He rapidly wrote another IOU.

Then handed over the notebook.

"Sign your own page."

"Clearing the instance: 5 million."

"One equipment reward: 2 million."

"Total: 7 million."

"Sign here."

Everyone: "................"

Duan Yuchen stared at the notebook in front of him.

The very first page belonged to him.

The total hadn't been added up.

Yet after one glance...

He knew it amounted to an astronomical figure.

Originally...

He had assumed only one of them would survive.

So he had never taken the mountain of debt seriously.

But after experiencing the previous instance...

Breaking the rules.

Overturning the system.

Leaving together.

Following He Yu...

It suddenly felt as though anything might actually be possible.

Duan Yuchen didn't dare imagine the day they all escaped together.

Would he celebrate...

Or cry?

Celebrate because he was alive.

Cry because the rest of his life would probably be spent repaying debt.

Holding the pen, he hesitated for a very long time.

Instead of signing...

He swallowed nervously, looked at He Yu, and, for the first time in his life, tried bargaining.

His voice was tentative.

"...Can I get a discount?"
