This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

It was already eleven at night, exactly one hour since everyone had returned to their respective rooms.

Naturally, nothing could be seen from this angle. The dim corridor lights seemed capable of concealing all darkness. The screams stopped in an instant, and a thick smell of blood drifted over.

They exchanged glances, all of them looking grave.

Gedai frowned. “What’s going on?”

Zhen Xing stood in front of He Yu, staring vigilantly outside.

Ling Buchen, holding his zither, likewise stood in front of He Yu, his expression darkening slightly. “Be careful.”

He Yu: “Go take a look.”

Ling Buchen was slightly startled. He turned his head toward He Yu and met a pair of serious eyes. Clearly, He Yu was telling him to go outside and see what had happened.

—This was not a wise choice.

Zhen Xing and Ling Buchen were both responsible for protecting He Yu. Tonight was destined to be filled with slaughter, and the best way for them to deal with it was to stay at He Yu’s side at all times and ensure his safety.

But He Yu told him to go out.

Ling Buchen said nothing and walked out.

Less than five minutes later, the sound of a zither rang out. Judging by the sound, it came from upstairs, but very soon, the zither abruptly stopped.

Yes, it abruptly stopped!

It was as though some accident had occurred, causing Ling Buchen’s attack to be interrupted.

Gedai’s expression changed slightly.

He Yu looked at Zhen Xing. “Go take a look.”

His expression seemed somewhat indifferent, his features cool and aloof, his eyes unfathomably deep. He stood in front of the bed, his body relaxed, his tall and slender figure thin yet powerful.

Gedai’s brows furrowed even more deeply, his entire face filled with disapproval. “Zhen Xing can’t leave. You need someone to protect you.”

He Yu was their “brain,” and also extremely “fragile.” How could someone like him be allowed to leave the protection of Zhen Xing and Ling Buchen? What if the others were luring the tiger away from the mountain?

He Yu shook his head. “It’s fine. You protect me.”

Gedai still disapproved, but Zhen Xing had already obediently walked out. Only Gedai and He Yu remained in the room. The two of them held the lowest-ranking identities on this cruise ship, and He Yu had almost no combat ability.

Gedai was under tremendous pressure.

At a time like this, he could only consciously take responsibility for protecting He Yu’s safety.

Gedai was both frantic and exasperated. “You shouldn’t have let them go out. No matter what happens outside, we should make sure we’re safe first.”

He knew He Yu had never been afraid of death, but caring this little was no longer within the realm of “not being afraid of death.” It was... stupidity.

If this had been before, Gedai would already have started cursing him out.

And those two guys, Zhen Xing and Ling Buchen, too. They did whatever He Yu told them to do. Didn’t they know He Yu could end up in danger?

He Yu looked at him and smiled faintly. “You can protect me. I trust you.”

Gedai: “...”

I don’t trust myself!!

Gedai’s already stern mechanical face became even colder and harder, his body tensing. “My identity is Waiter. If anyone comes in here wanting to kill you, I have no way to execute them.”

He was strong, but even he could not guarantee He Yu’s safety. Sending Zhen Xing and Ling Buchen out to investigate had truly been an extremely wrong decision.

Just as he thought this, he sensed a shadow attacking He Yu!

Gedai’s expression changed. He immediately rushed forward to meet the attacker, his mechanical blade ferocious. The newcomer was clearly no weakling either, and the two quickly began fighting.

“Bang!”

“Clang, clang!”

They continuously exchanged moves. As their figures crossed, Gedai finally saw the somewhat familiar face of his opponent. His expression instantly darkened as he gritted his teeth. “More, you actually dare attack us!”

The newcomer was More!

They had previously agreed not to attack before twelve o’clock. It was only eleven, yet these people already couldn’t wait any longer.

And they were actually all targeting He Yu.

Were they bullying him because he was weak?

Or were they trying to cut off the head of their team?

A vicious light appeared on Gedai’s face. His attacks became even more ferocious, forcing More back step by step. The mechanical blade was overwhelmingly powerful, breaking through everything in its path.

“You fucking have a death wish, More!” Gedai cursed.

More pressed his lips tightly together without speaking, dealing with Gedai’s relentless advance. His hands showed no hesitation either as he kept Gedai occupied. He was not as strong as Gedai, but it would not be so easy for Gedai to kill him.

Gedai did not dare waste time, and his attacks were vicious.

More gritted his teeth and endured them head-on.

It was at this moment!

Even though they were indoors, He Yu suddenly felt a gust of wind sweep toward him. Two figures attacked He Yu simultaneously!

Gedai caught sight of this from the corner of his eye, his eyes nearly splitting with rage. “He Yu, watch out!!”

It really was luring the tiger away from the mountain!

The others had actually joined forces. Excluding the eight who had already died and the twelve members of their team, there were still thirty contestants. Had all of them joined forces?

—Thirty people joining forces would absolutely not be easy to deal with!

First, they lured Ling Buchen away, then used Ling Buchen to lure Zhen Xing away. If nothing unexpected happened, those two were also being surrounded and attacked, perhaps by many people at once.

More kept Gedai occupied while the others attacked He Yu.

He Yu was the most fragile, yet he was the strongest support and also their brain. First eliminate He Yu, then defeat the rest one by one. These people had truly calculated everything well!

Gedai went mad with fury. He shoved More aside and lunged toward He Yu.

More immediately attacked again, firmly entangling Gedai.

Gedai shouted desperately, “Zhen Xing! Ling Buchen!”

The situation was tense, yet He Yu stood in front of the bed, unmoving as a mountain, quietly watching the people attacking him. He did not even seem to have any intention of dodging...

Their equipment was ferocious, their weapons carrying murderous force as they slashed toward He Yu.

Forget whether He Yu could withstand it or not. As long as an attack like this even touched He Yu, it could directly kill him!

The wind howled. The fierce light stirred up by the attacks crackled through the air, echoing the raging storm and enormous waves outside the window, as though playing a song of death.

And yet He Yu still did not move.

The wind stirred up by the attacks had already blown his hair into disarray. The sharp blade light reflected across He Yu’s face, and the domineering force rushed toward him, about to reach his face.

“Bang—”

The two attacks collided, yet He Yu, who had been between them, disappeared.

Yes, disappeared.

—He had used his projection equipment!

The two froze, bewilderment appearing simultaneously in their eyes. Immediately afterward, they turned their heads, urgency and fear on their faces.

He Yu had never used his projection equipment in front of these people before. Seeing his figure suddenly disappear inevitably shocked them, giving rise to all sorts of uneasy speculation.

Especially since He Yu was universally known to be difficult to deal with.

At this moment, He Yu was standing at the doorway, expressionlessly looking at them.

Forget it!

They had to kill He Yu!

The two moved again, raising their weapons as they prepared to pounce on He Yu.

However, the moment they moved, a chainsaw stopped at one person’s neck from behind, while a thin thread tightened around the other person’s neck...

The two froze.

At some unknown point, a hole had been opened in the ceiling. Eugene, Qiong, Duan Yuchen, Zhante, Tang Ke, and Yuan Ze, who lived upstairs, had silently come down and suddenly attacked.

The two no longer dared to move. He Yu looked at them with a faint, ambiguous smile.

Leaning against the door, he raised a hand and pushed up his glasses. “Trying to scheme against me by luring the tiger away from the mountain? Tsk, tsk. Really not very smart.”

Scheme against him?

Were these people overestimating their own intelligence, or underestimating He Yu’s?

If they could lure the tiger away from the mountain, why couldn’t He Yu invite the enemy into the trap?

Gedai was also stunned, his eyes bewildered. “You did this deliberately? When did you discuss it?”

Eugene swung his other mechanical arm and tilted his head. “Of course it was when we separated at ten. Besides, what was there to discuss? One glance was enough.”

When they separated at ten o’clock, Duan Yuchen and the others, as Passengers, could not stay on the same floor as He Yu.

So they looked toward He Yu, trying to see what arrangements he had made.

He Yu said nothing. His gaze swept across Eugene’s mechanical arm, then two fingers tapped against the back of his other hand. They instantly understood what He Yu meant.

—Cut open the floor and wait to see what happened.

He was clearly saying that something would happen tonight!

Moreover, “cut open the floor” carried a deeper meaning. They had been on the first floor at the time, so the floor they could cut open could only be the one between the first floor and the level below. Only He Yu and the others lived on the level below.

—Tonight, something would happen where He Yu and the others were staying.

That was tacit understanding. One glance, one movement, and they immediately understood what the other person was conveying.

Knowing this, Eugene and the others already had a plan. When More appeared, Eugene and the others had wanted to come down, but He Yu shook the hand hidden behind his back, so they did not move.

After clearing so many instances together and dancing on the edge of death so many times, how could they not have tacit understanding?

Zhen Xing and Ling Buchen had been lured away, while Gedai had been restrained.

But Eugene and the others were still here.

When these people had not even appeared yet, how could they dare attack He Yu?!

Realization dawned on Gedai. No wonder He Yu had been so fearless. He had not been stupid. Everything had been part of the plan.

Hearing this, More’s face turned pale, and for a moment his expression became dazed. In battle, such a lapse was fatal.

Gedai seized the opportunity to close in, using a restraint-type piece of equipment to bind More’s hands before placing his mechanical blade against More’s neck, his expression icy.

More slumped and stopped struggling.

Even if he broke free from Gedai, there were still others watching him like tigers eyeing their prey.

The three people who had entered the room were captured. Duan Yuchen glanced coldly at them, then looked at He Yu. “They’re acting together. We killed some of the people upstairs. Most of them should be surrounding and attacking Zhen Xing and Ling Buchen.”

He Yu nodded. “Don’t worry about them.”

—He was confident those two would win.

Besides, Wanrenzhan and the others were upstairs. The battle would soon end.

He Yu straightened and walked toward More step by step, looking at this Federation expert who had been restrained.

More was also looking at him. Suddenly, he laughed. “So from the very beginning, you never intended to honor the agreement to remain peaceful before twelve.”

Everyone knew He Yu kept his word. With the agreement lasting until twelve, they had thought they could plot against He Yu’s team before then.

Unexpectedly... everything had been part of He Yu’s plan.

“No, I intended to honor it.” He Yu shook his head, his gaze sharp. “But I realized that you apparently weren’t planning to honor it. And... you’re hiding some kind of secret.”

More stiffened, his eyes fixed firmly on He Yu.

Yuan Ze sneered. “We hadn’t even decided what to do with you yet, and you actually came looking for death yourselves.”

Tang Ke: “That works out perfectly. We can get rid of them.”

Holding the blade against More’s neck, Gedai looked at Duan Yuchen. “How many people did they organize?”

Duan Yuchen: “Twenty-eight. Except for Barre and Zhao Pingqi, all of them made a move.”

Twenty-eight!

Qiong sneered. “You actually managed to put aside your internal conflicts and join forces. Unfortunately, you still lost.”

Anger flashed through More’s eyes as he stared fixedly at them. “If we die, you won’t survive either!”

Eugene frowned. “What do you mean?”

More tightly closed his mouth.

He Yu looked at the three of them and raised his brows slightly. “You actually cooperated. What a strange alliance. This really is beyond my expectations.”

He Yu’s twelve-person team was too powerful.

It was normal for the others to stand together because of this, to negotiate with them like they had that afternoon and make them wary. But for them to truly join forces and attack them so decisively was somewhat strange.

Such decisiveness and coordination inevitably required a powerful “binding agent.”

He Yu turned and walked outside. “Bring them. Let’s go find Zhen Xing and Ling Buchen.”

In any case, everyone had already broken the rules. It was equivalent to the rules being unable to punish anyone, so they could move around freely.

-

By the time He Yu arrived, the battle on the first floor had just ended.

Ling Buchen had suddenly been attacked. These people were all experts, and every one of them had trump cards. For a while, they had actually managed to firmly tie Ling Buchen down and interrupt his attack.

Of course, they had not managed to kill Ling Buchen either.

Then Zhen Xing came upstairs. Wanrenzhan, Bo Jingshan, Zhante, and Zhao Pingqi joined them, making six people in total. Even against a whole group, they did not fall behind in the slightest.

The two sides fought fiercely, neither able to gain a decisive advantage. At first, the other side had been able to rely on their superior numbers to temporarily suppress Zhen Xing and the others.

But very soon, as the battle continued, they discovered that Zhen Xing and the others were all terrifying fighters capable of taking on three opponents alone!

One had to remember that this was already a competition among the top fifty. Being able to fight three opponents at once here was truly terrifying.

They were already showing signs of defeat, with nearly ten contestants eliminated.

He Yu arrived with the others. Yuan Ze, Duan Yuchen, and Tang Ke immediately joined the battle. The opposing side had already been losing, and now their collapse became even more inevitable as Zhen Xing and the others completely crushed them.

They had attacked first, so Zhen Xing and the others showed no mercy, directly harvesting their lives.

In the end, only More, Ivan, and the people captured by Qiong and Eugene were left alive. They had not spared them out of softheartedness, but because they needed to interrogate them and obtain useful information.

There was clearly something wrong with these people.

Wanrenzhan leaned on his axe, panting heavily. “Fuck, these guys really weren’t easy to deal with.”

He looked at He Yu. “You okay?”

He was very strong, but these people were also strong. Moreover, they had been fighting multiple opponents at once, and the other side had used all kinds of methods. Some of their support equipment was simply endlessly irritating.

Hearing this, He Yu shook his head.

Bo Jingshan put away his Crescent Moon Scimitar and frowned. “They actually joined forces this quickly. It isn’t even twelve yet.”

Duan Yuchen also found it strange. “It’s pretty weird. We never even saw them plotting together, yet they acted at the same time. Do these people really have this much tacit understanding?”

What kind of joke was that? Forget them—even Zhen Xing and the others, back when they did not trust each other, would have found it difficult to coordinate an attack without any discussion.

Had these people already developed such tacit understanding without them noticing?

Eugene kicked More. “Talk.”

More remained silent. Bo Jingshan pressed down on Ivan’s pain point, and Ivan screamed, “Ah—”

Bo Jingshan: “Are you going to talk or not?”

Ivan’s face was deathly pale, his forehead covered in sweat, but he gritted his teeth and refused to speak. A small knife silently appeared in his palm...

He Yu: “Kill him.”

Bo Jingshan raised his blade and brought it down. Before the others could even react, Ivan disappeared from the spot, and they received the system notification announcing his elimination.

He Yu looked at the next person. That person’s expression was terrified. “You can’t kill me! If you kill me, you’ll die too!”

Duan Yuchen frowned upon hearing this.

The man stared at He Yu. “I can tell you the truth, but you have to promise me you’ll let me live. You have to—”

He Yu’s face was expressionless. “Kill him.”

Qiong did not hesitate. Under the second man’s terrified gaze, she exerted force, and the thread sliced through his neck.

He Yu walked toward the third person. His rimless glasses rested on the bridge of his nose. He seemed somewhat irritated, so naturally, the look in his eyes was not friendly.

He was thin and frail. He was intelligent and responsible. He was also worthy of trust. But that did not mean he was a good person, nor did it mean he was kind and merciful.

On the contrary, He Yu had always been ruthless.

Even the “everyone advances” he had always been striving for—the “everyone” referred only to those who trusted him.

No matter what secrets or hardships these people had, they had chosen not to tell He Yu, and they had chosen to kill He Yu. That meant they were not part of the “everyone” in He Yu’s heart.

Being merciful to enemies was being cruel to teammates.

Before He Yu could even speak, the third person’s psychological defenses completely collapsed. He roared, “If we don’t kill you, we’ll die! You’ll definitely kill us! Boss, I didn’t mean to go against you either!”

This “definitely kill us”... seemed somewhat different from before?

Eugene frowned. “Why? Why are all of you so certain?”

The man was utterly panicked, terror filling his eyes. “Because, because we already—”

As though he had been automatically muted, the man disappeared from the spot. At the same time, everyone received the notification of his elimination in their minds.

He Yu’s expression darkened.

Everyone else’s expressions changed as well.

After a long while, Qiong spoke hoarsely. “Erased?”

Duan Yuchen took a deep breath, his voice hoarse. “They must have another set of rules, and revealing them causes the instance to erase them.”

Zhante opened his mouth. “What secret are they hiding?”

There had been fifty people. Eight had died directly when the corrosive rain arrived. Twenty-eight people had joined forces to kill them, only to have twenty-seven of them killed in return. In the blink of an eye, only fifteen people remained.

He Yu’s twelve-person team, Barre and Zhao Pingqi, and More, who was still being held captive.

Among these people were those who had cooperated in <Species Collapse>, and those who had held a symposium together at the Transfer Station...

They had once planted flags together. After the <Are We Teammates?> instance ended, they had once tossed He Yu high into the air, cheering joyfully...

The person who had just died was Hison. He Yu remembered him.

In the <Are We Teammates?> instance, he had slapped himself, leaving in a suicidal manner. He, too, had once called He Yu Boss.

He Yu knew that Hison had not wanted to become his enemy.

But after walking step by step until today, until elimination, who should be blamed?

He Yu and the others?

No. Hison and the others had attacked first. If they had not fought back, the ones who died would have been He Yu and the others.

Hison and the others?

No. It seemed they had their own understandable reasons too.

If anyone had to be blamed, then the only thing to blame was the rules, the mastermind behind all of this, and <Top Talent Show>!

He Yu slowly closed his eyes.

More struggled twice, then gave a bitter laugh. “Let me go. Let me leave on my own.”

He was the only one left. He could no longer turn the situation around.

As a Federation expert, a favored son of heaven, More’s final wish was to die by his own hand.

He Yu opened his eyes and turned to look at More, his expression calm. “Do you want to die just like this? Don’t you want the mastermind to be dragged out?”

A vicious light flashed through More’s eyes. Then he shook his head in despair, the smile at the corners of his mouth bitter. “He Yu, now I finally understand. Human strength has no way to contend against the rules. Once, twice... sooner or later, you’ll lose to the rules...”

He blinked, forcing the moisture in his eyes back. “You saw it yourself. We can’t say it. We can’t say anything.”

Did the twenty-eight of them not know they would lose?

They knew. They would most likely lose. Against He Yu’s team, their chances of winning were extremely, extremely low.

But they could not say anything. They could only gamble on that tiny probability. In the end, just as expected, they lost.

He Yu remained calm. “You can’t say it, so I’ll say it.”

He walked toward More, one step after another—

“All of you are already dead.”
