This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

The dark bedsheets and duvet cover were perfectly clean, with nothing on them. A blanket was folded neatly in exactly the same place. He Yu removed it directly, but there was still nothing underneath.

His bunk was the lower one. He bent down and carefully checked it inside and out, but found nothing.

Was there really nothing?

His hand rested against the edge of the upper bunk. That was Wanrenzhan's bed, and it had already been inspected long ago.

His gaze went unfocused. Suddenly, his hand moved slightly, rubbing against something. The uneven texture beneath his fingertips was extremely obvious. There were clearly marks there.

He Yu pushed up his glasses and leaned closer to look.

Wanrenzhan leaned over as well. "What's this? Scratches?"

He Yu spoke softly. "Two. This is two."

Two scratches, clearly meaning "2."

After saying this, he slowly sat down on the bed and sank into thought, his fingers unconsciously picking at the bedframe.

"What's this, then?" Zhao Pingqi frowned and pointed behind He Yu.

He Yu turned his head in the direction of his gaze. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing there, but from a particular angle, they could faintly see that one area was a different color.

He Yu stood up. Wanrenzhan frowned and yanked the bedsheet off in one motion.

The material of Federation bedsheets was naturally very different from those on Blue Star. Wanrenzhan raised the sheet high and carefully examined it under the bright cabin lights. There really were faint traces on it.

He leaned closer and sniffed it. His expression suddenly darkened. "Smells like blood."

Why would there be traces like this aboard the cruise ship?

And why would traces of blood be here?

Eugene took a deep breath. "Looks like something happened aboard this cruise ship before. We just don't know whether it's related to the instance."

He Yu shook his head. His eyes remained deep, as though his mind were furiously analyzing and deducing something.

Wanrenzhan spoke with some disgust. "This bedsheet is dirty. Let's replace it first and leave this one aside as a clue."

He expertly pulled out a small drawer beneath the bed. Inside was a complete spare set of bedding.

Tall, muscular, and powerful, Wanrenzhan bent down, preparing to put a clean bedsheet on He Yu's bed, even though they might not °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° necessarily sleep in these bunks.

At that moment, the rough man somehow looked rather domestic.

Wanrenzhan shook out the bedsheet and froze. Immediately afterward, his entire expression changed. His gaze locked firmly onto the sheet.

Everyone else followed his gaze, their pupils contracting.

—There was an identical mark on the spare bedsheet.

Ex-act-ly the same!

In an instant, an inexplicable chill ran down their backs. Cold rushed from their feet straight to their heads, their scalps tingling as every hair on their bodies stood on end.

Almost simultaneously, everyone in the room moved. They checked their own bedsheets, then pulled out their spare sheets and carefully inspected them.

Clean!

Still clean!

Bo Jingshan pursed his lips and shook his head. "They're all clean."

Wanrenzhan pulled out his own spare bedsheet as well. He likewise shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

What exactly had happened aboard this cruise ship?

And did it have anything to do with them?

He Yu licked his lips, his voice hoarse. "Let's go out first. We're about to enter Gama Strait. We'll go upstairs and wait."

Everyone slowly nodded. They could only agree.

They were about to enter Gama Strait. Whatever secrets this cruise ship held would have to be put aside for the moment. At the very least, they needed to find out what was inside Gama Strait first.

Wanrenzhan looked at the bedsheet and asked He Yu, "Leave it here?"

Eugene smiled. "The Captain's Manual says that damaging the cruise ship's appearance counts as a violation."

No wonder all the beds were so perfectly neat and orderly. Apparently, if they messed anything up and didn't restore it to its original state, it counted as a violation...

And a violation meant they could die at any moment.

Wanrenzhan: "??"

He immediately cursed, "What the fuck kind of rule is that? Is there something wrong with this place?!"

While cursing, he replaced He Yu's bedsheet with the clean spare one in his hands, then stuffed the sheet bearing traces of blood into his own drawer.

He Yu had already walked out first, and everyone else followed.

Qiong: "Did you discover anything?"

He Yu shook his head without speaking.

Qiong gave him a deep look. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether He Yu truly hadn't discovered anything or whether he had already figured something out but refused to speak because he wasn't at least eighty percent certain.

Only ten minutes remained before they entered Gama Strait. In the end, the group chose to go up to the bridge deck.

Not only was the bridge deck the highest point and therefore the best place to observe the situation, but there was also a Helmsman named Barre who had been calling for them nonstop. Although they didn't know what would happen if they lost their Helmsman, they still decided to keep Barre alive for the time being.

The moment they came up, Barre pointed toward the control console, his expression grim. "The weather ahead has changed."

It was approaching eight in the evening, and outside was pitch-black. Nothing could be seen.

But Barre, the Helmsman stationed on the bridge, could use the control console's detection system to obtain some information about the conditions ahead. He had originally wanted to see whether he could detect any danger, but unexpectedly discovered a change in the weather instead.

A change in weather while sailing was never a good thing, especially—

When the place ahead was Gama Strait, which they already knew was extremely dangerous.

Duan Yuchen frowned. "Be careful. Following the usual pattern, a storm might capsize the cruise ship, and there aren't any escape tools aboard. We can only keep the ship stable. Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll have to cross Gama Strait ourselves."

Eugene was just about to speak when the countdown reached ten seconds.

Gama Strait was directly ahead. At that moment, all of them smelled something strange. The scent made them vaguely uneasy.

Another bizarre sensation swept over their bodies, making their scalps tingle.

Even He Yu frowned and raised a hand to rub between his brows.

A strange cruise ship, a strange Gama Strait. This instance... concealed far too many mysteries.

"Crash—"

Huge waves began to surge. They hadn't even entered Gama Strait yet, but the incoming swells made the cruise ship pitch and rock violently. Barre stood beside the control console, his face grim as he adjusted the controls.

He let out a long breath. "Fortunately, I have the method for operating the Death in my mind. Looks like the Helmsman is extremely important."

He was subtly increasing his own bargaining chips!

As long as he remained indispensable, he would be safer.

He Yu glanced at Eugene and Gedai. Neither spoke, merely nodding slightly before silently moving closer to Barre.

They were both from Mechanical Planet. As long as they watched Barre's operating procedure for a while, they would quickly learn how to pilot the Death.

He Yu also preferred having more bargaining chips. Eugene and Gedai were temporarily on his team. Even if they weren't, having one more person capable of operating the ship would reduce their dependence on Barre.

The violent rocking continued. Everyone grabbed onto something. The bridge was too small, and being thrown into each other was extremely uncomfortable. Many people went outside and grabbed the railings while observing the situation, trying to see exactly what awaited them in Gama Strait.

The storm churned violently. The silent sense of danger was almost suffocating.

Three seconds remaining.

Yuan Ze glanced at the time and silently counted amid the violent rocking. "3, 2, 1..."

"Crack!"

"Crash—"

It was as though someone had flipped a switch. The instant they crossed the boundary into Gama Strait, the entire world completely changed.

It was as if they had stepped into another world. The sea churned madly, thunder exploded, and torrential rain came crashing down in an instant.

"Careful!"

"Get inside!"

"Ah—"

Cries of alarm erupted everywhere. Almost the instant they entered Gama Strait, many of the people standing on the deck rushed toward the bridge, their expressions terrified and their faces filled with panic.

He Yu was inside the bridge and could see everything clearly. Quite a few contestants reacted even faster than Wanrenzhan and the others!

Fortunately, the four members of their group who were outside—Wanrenzhan, Tang Ke, Zhante, and Duan Yuchen—weren't stupid. The moment everyone else rushed toward the bridge, they charged inside as well, moving even faster and far more forcefully.

There wasn't the slightest trace of expert composure left among them. It was as though evil ghosts were chasing them as they desperately rushed into the bridge.

"Whoosh—"

The torrential rain came pouring down, giving them no chance to catch their breath. Those who had squeezed into the bridge were fine, but several people who hadn't managed to get inside were engulfed by the rain.

And then, a horrifying scene appeared!

The rainwater corroded their bodies like ultra-concentrated sulfuric acid, dissolving one living person after another completely in the blink of an eye!!

No, even ultra-concentrated sulfuric acid couldn't do that.

Zhen Xing sucked in a sharp breath and grabbed He Yu, pulling him behind himself protectively. Behind He Yu, Ling Buchen approached with a grim expression. One in front and one behind, the two of them tightly shielded He Yu.

Did those people not have defensive equipment?

Did those people not have trump cards?

Anyone capable of reaching the second half of the semifinals, anyone who had become one of the top fifty among tens of millions, couldn't possibly be weak!

Every single one of them would be considered an expert among experts in the Federation, someone capable of supporting an entire family.

But—

In the blink of an eye, they turned into pools of bloody water!

They didn't have time to speak. They didn't have time to scream. All that remained were the terror and regret in their final gazes...

The corrosive power of this rain was absolutely more terrifying than anything they had ever encountered before!

With He Yu's physical constitution, a single drop of rain touching him would mean instant death. Because of this, the teammates around He Yu all moved closer, shielding him.

He Yu paid no attention to their approach. Instead, he raised his voice. "Close the door! Close the bridge door!"

The instant he shouted, someone was already closing it.

The door shut, but before they could even catch their breath, another commotion erupted.

Tang Ke, who was near the door, desperately squeezed farther inside. Wanrenzhan cursed loudly, "Can't you fucking see this place is already packed?! We can't move!"

Tang Ke gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly. "I can feel wind. There must be a gap in this door. Seawater will get inside!"

His intuition had always been extremely strong, and it had never failed him even once.

At this moment, he was so frightened that his teeth were practically chattering, showing just how terrifying the approaching danger was.

Gedai frowned and turned to look at him. "So what if seawater gets inside? What's—"

He Yu took a deep breath and interrupted him. "The rain in Gama Strait is corrosive. Then what about the water in Gama Strait? Do you think the seawater isn't corrosive?"

Rainwater and seawater were part of the same cycle. If the rain falling over Gama Strait was corrosive, could the churning seawater possibly be harmless?

Just thinking about it made the answer obvious.

Impossible!

Hearing this, everyone's scalp tingled, and their expressions instantly turned awful.

Zhen Xing and Ling Buchen guarded He Yu even more tightly. Wanrenzhan immediately turned around and squeezed toward He Yu as well, his earlier reaction of yelling at Tang Ke nowhere to be seen.

Tang Ke followed them, his body trembling slightly.

Probably because of fear, countless people near the door began desperately squeezing farther inside.

The room was already cramped, yet far too many people had packed themselves into it. It was unbearably crowded, without even a gap between them.

"Crash—"

Another wave surged up, and the cruise ship rocked violently. Some people still hadn't managed to squeeze farther inside when seawater slammed against the bridge door behind them.

There really was a narrow gap in the door.

Seawater seeped through and flowed into the bridge, soaking the leg of the person nearest to it.

"AAAAAAAHHH!!"

Screams rang out one after another. The seawater began corroding him from his foot upward, spreading slowly like fire.

"Save me! Save me!!" he roared.
