This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Everyone advanced!

They had actually all advanced!

He Yu pressed forward step by step. Just as he raised the first question, the system immediately brought the instance to an end and gave it a—

"Perfect Ending."

The system notification seemed no different from before, yet if one listened carefully, the mechanical voice carried a subtle difference.

It sounded as though it were suppressing its anger while announcing this outcome.

The one behind the scenes had compromised.

They could no longer allow He Yu to continue speaking.

Each of those three questions was more terrifying than the last, each one closer to the truth.

The mastermind lurked in the shadows and could manipulate the rules. There would still be plenty of opportunities to kill He Yu in the future. Forced into a corner for the moment, they temporarily chose to compromise and retreat.

He Yu had won.

He had won by forcing the system's rules to yield.

He had provoked the mastermind with his words, making them so furious that they wanted nothing more than to send him out and kill him, refusing to let him get his way.

Yet in the end, no matter how enraged or provoked they were, they still had no choice but to follow He Yu's wishes and choose the result he wanted.

One could only imagine how stifled they must have felt.

At that moment, He Yu had been standing on the edge of a cliff.

He had already taken his final step. One step farther, and it would have been a bottomless abyss.

Fortunately—

He had won.

And he had won magnificently.

He Yu tilted his head back, facing the light with a radiant smile.

Transfer Station.

Eugene had been holding his breath the entire time. Now he finally let out a long exhale, his voice trembling slightly.

"He Yu... even if he knows, he can't say it."

That's right.

He couldn't say it.

The moment He Yu spoke the truth aloud, the mastermind would lose all restraint. They would no longer need any excuse to kill him.

What had just happened between him and the mastermind had been a gamble.

He Yu's courage was astonishing. Step by step, he had cornered his opponent, using his only bargaining chip—his own life—to play against the mastermind, utterly disregarding both his own safety and the consequences.

The mastermind was far stronger, but they also had more concerns.

There would always be other ways to kill He Yu later.

There was no need to drag things into mutual destruction at this moment.

At that instant, He Yu had forced the mastermind into a position where a compromise had to be made.

He Yu was never going to be the one who compromised.

For him, there were only two possible outcomes.

Either he died.

Or he won.

There was no third option.

In the end, the mastermind gave in.

They didn't even have time to formulate a careful plan. They directly advanced all one hundred contestants just to shut He Yu up.

Zhen Xing slowly loosened his fist, which had been clenched so tightly his knuckles had turned white. His expression relaxed, and a smile curved across his lips.

"He didn't say it... but he won, didn't he?"

Yes.

He had won.

And he had won beautifully.

A contestant...

Had forced the rules themselves to make way for him.

Duan Yuchen laughed and cried at the same time.

"So that's it—they set He Yu up as the third faction. No wonder every verification marked him as the enemy. The mastermind really made a terrible move."

Gedai was smiling as well.

But midway through his smile, his expression suddenly stiffened.

"So... does that mean He Yu already knows why the energy cultivation system has never been promoted? And who the mastermind is?"

Everyone's excited voices came to an abrupt halt.

After a long silence, Ling Buchen spoke quietly.

"Not necessarily."

"He Yu is perfectly capable of pretending he knows."

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

—Very likely.

—As expected of you, He Yu!

—

Inside the competition.

The system had already declared that everyone had advanced.

Everyone.

All one hundred contestants.

Not a single one had been left behind.

He Yu still stood atop the snowy mountain.

The system had already determined that he had won. The instance would soon transport him to the Transfer Station, completely removing him from this world.

He raised a hand and pushed up his glasses before shaking his head.

"So stingy. You're not even giving out advancement rewards?"

Audience: "..."

This was the first time a contestant had cleared an instance and received absolutely no rewards.

Not even a compensation reward for He Yu.

The system was obviously venting its anger on him.

Of course, He Yu merely mocked it once and said nothing more.

This ending was already good enough for him.

Equipment was just equipment.

It wasn't important.

The system teleported him into the Transfer Station.

Before disappearing completely, He Yu glanced back one last time at the snowy mountain, concealing every emotion in his eyes.

The morning sun had fully risen, shining upon the snowmen scattered across the mountain.

Snowmen of every shape and size remained there, carrying the traces left behind by everyone.

Leaning against one another amid the endless white snow, they somehow gave off an unexpectedly warm feeling.

—Goodbye.

【Bullet Screen: "AHHHHH! He Yu is so unbelievably cool I'm crying!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Watching him force the rules to let everyone advance was SO SATISFYING!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Damn it! Who the hell is the mastermind? Could it really be the King and the others? Otherwise why hasn't anyone uncovered the truth yet?"】

【Bullet Screen: "An entire Federation, and they still can't discover the truth?"】

Larry's face was flushed red with excitement.

He slapped both hands together, speaking enthusiastically.

"Fantastic! Everyone advanced! I was scared to death just now. He Yu, well done!"

He was already so excited that he could barely form coherent sentences.

Qiao was equally excited.

Against such overwhelming suppression by the rules, He Yu had still managed to secure another "everyone advances."

Another earth-shaking gamble.

Another victory.

How could anyone not be excited?

To struggle against the rules inside the <Top Talent Show> was no different from challenging fate itself.

Every success was enough to leave people speechless.

But—

Qiao was equally worried.

Staring at the screen, he murmured softly,

"But during the semifinals... the mastermind won't let He Yu live. The more he knows, the more dangerous he'll become..."

Larry's smile froze.

He suddenly turned toward Qiao and raised his voice.

"Isn't he already in danger?!"

Qiao was momentarily stunned before smiling bitterly.

"You're right."

"He's always been in danger."

"And there's nothing we can do to help him."

His expression turned solemn as he lowered his voice.

"Larry, what did An Xu say?"

Larry likewise lowered his voice.

"I heard he's already uncovered some clues. The impact is so great that they need to make preparations in advance."

The King had never provided any explanation.

It was time for those who intended to remove him to step forward.

Qiao murmured softly,

"The impact is so great..."

Beside them, a friend asked curiously,

"So who exactly is Blue Eyes? From what He Yu implied, Blue Eyes has some special identity... a very influential one."

He Yu might not actually know who the mastermind was.

Nor might he know why the energy cultivation system had been suppressed.

After all, he was inside the competition.

The information available to him was limited.

There was only so much he could deduce.

Even the Federation hadn't uncovered the truth.

He probably hadn't either.

But regarding the first question—

Who was Blue Eyes?

He Yu absolutely knew.

And it was precisely that question...

...that made the mastermind wary.

Larry shook his head.

"I know Blue Eyes has a special identity, but I honestly can't imagine what it could be."

"Could he not actually be an NPC at all?"

"Maybe he's someone from outside?"

"Or perhaps... a survivor from a previous <Top Talent Show>?"

The two exchanged puzzled looks.

Both were completely baffled.

Qiao continued thinking, quietly repeating,

"The impact is so great... Previous survivors...?"

Countless fragments of information collided inside his mind.

Then, suddenly, everything connected.

Like a bolt of lightning striking.

Qiao abruptly looked up.

He stared ahead in utter disbelief.

His expression...

His pupils...

His entire body trembled with shock.

His lips moved, yet not a single word came out.

"Qiao? What's wrong?"

"Did you think of something?"

The two hurriedly questioned him.

Judging from his reaction—

He had obviously figured something out!

Qiao opened his mouth.

After a long while, he finally managed to utter one sentence.

"I think... I know who Blue Eyes is."

His body trembled slightly.

Blue Eyes.

Powerful.

Connected to the <Top Talent Show>.

A special identity.

Every clue pointed toward someone they had never even considered.

No wonder An Xu hadn't immediately moved to remove the King after uncovering the clues.

This matter had to be handled with extreme caution.

—So it was him!

—It was him all along!

The clues had actually been obvious.

The previous instance.

This instance.

The abnormal behavior of all the contestants.

He Yu's earlier doubts.

And the suspicions that had long lingered in everyone's hearts...

It was only because the truth was so shocking and unbelievable that they instinctively refused to think in that direction.

How could it be possible?

It completely overturned everything they believed.

Even the speculation that "God is already dead" had caused countless people to doubt it, reject it, and refuse to believe it.

So how could they possibly imagine...

...that the Federation's highest authorities had once committed something so horrifying?

No wonder An Xu had become afraid to act rashly after discovering evidence capable of bringing down the King.

Within the Federation, "God" was a spiritual icon.

The pillar everyone depended upon.

An omnipotent existence.

Even if An Xu announced the truth, without irrefutable evidence, merely relying on speculation—

How many people would actually believe him?

As for the evidence—

Qiao fixed his gaze firmly on He Yu inside the livestream.

At this moment, He Yu was like boiling oil.

All it needed was a single spark to ignite it.

Blue Eyes was that spark.

He Yu was the one who would set it alight.

—

Transfer Station.

The instant He Yu appeared in the Transfer Station, before he even had time to see his surroundings, he suddenly felt his body become weightless.

Someone lifted him into the air.

Then his vision blurred.

He was thrown upward.

"AHHHH! He Yu! We all advanced!"

"You're amazing! Seriously amazing!"

"AHHH! I officially declare you're my idol! Next time I'll support you unconditionally!"

"Damn it! Move aside! Don't drop He Yu! Get back!"

...

He Yu: "..."

His face darkened instantly.

Every trace of the good mood he had been in vanished completely.

He struggled twice.

He couldn't break free.

His face grew even darker.

Not far away, Eugene nudged Zhen Xing.

"Why aren't you going over?"

He wasn't asking why Zhen Xing wasn't joining in the celebration.

He was asking why he wasn't going over to "rescue" He Yu...

Zhante and the others kept tossing He Yu into the air, shouting excitedly to express their joy.

Zhen Xing, Eugene, Ling Buchen, and Bo Jingshan remained where they were.

Only Wanrenzhan was hopping around over there, trying to stop them.

Hearing the question, Zhen Xing curled his lips into a faint smile.

"Let them enjoy themselves for a while."

This was a truly rare sight.

Ling Buchen didn't interfere either.

Holding his zither, he watched from the side.

He Yu was always so calm that even watching him get angry became rather adorable.

Only after He Yu's expression had darkened to an alarming degree did Ling Buchen laugh and say,

"All right, put He Yu down."

"You've celebrated enough."

"It's time to get down to business."

At that moment, Wanrenzhan finally managed to snatch He Yu away.

He carried He Yu out of the crowd, glaring warily at everyone else.

He Yu slapped Wanrenzhan's hand away.

Standing there with a dark expression, he gritted his teeth.

"Whose... idea... was... this?"

The contestants were simply too excited.

Their indescribable exhilaration made them want to show He Yu some "affection."

As they tossed him into the air, they rubbed his head and tugged at his clothes.

If the others hadn't stopped them, quite a few of them would have hugged He Yu and kissed him to express their excitement.

They had all believed they were already dead.

Yet He Yu had brought them back to life.

How could they not be excited?

Even if they would eventually die in the future—

That was a problem for the future.

As a result of their enthusiastic treatment, He Yu now looked thoroughly disheveled.

The loose strands of hair across his forehead stuck out wildly.

His clothes had been pulled open, revealing his delicate collarbone.

He had always been slender and frail, with pale skin.

Now, in such a messy state...

He looked as though he had been...

...thoroughly ravished.

But when everyone met his gaze and remembered his usual methods...

Everyone: "..."

They chickened out.

So every single one of them simultaneously raised a hand...

...and pointed straight at Eugene.
