This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

The content was somewhat convoluted, but Zhen Xing and the others immediately understood. They were all intelligent people, and they had already formed some suspicions of their own. Once they ran He Yu's words through their minds, they immediately grasped what he meant.

Qiong's pupils contracted violently, and her voice unconsciously rose. “Is it because time is limited? You told Eugene to speed up and keep the ship moving no matter what—is that also because time is limited?”

Wanrenzhan understood what they were saying.

He Yu had said that the He Yu of the second cycle had coordinated with Zhao Pingqi. Qiong said it was because time was limited, so He Yu needed to kill Zhao Pingqi in order to pass information to himself in the third cycle...

He understood that much, but he still had a question.

“Why the rush?” Wanrenzhan frowned.

Yes.

The He Yu of the second cycle had been in a hurry to pass information to the He Yu of the third cycle, so much so that immediately after Barre died, he had killed Zhao Pingqi.

Zhen Xing took a deep breath. “The cycle. The ferry cycles, but many resources don't.”

For example, the supplementary plates.

For example, the food in the warehouse.

Those things did not cycle.

But when the ferry cycled, they cycled along with it. Even many things inside the cruise ship that had been destroyed would cycle.

He Yu curled his lips, but his eyes were filled with coldness. “You've all noticed it, haven't you? Some things cycle, while others don't. The cruise ship's interior cycles, which temporarily prevented us from discovering the truth. The bloodstains on the bedsheets cycle, but the blood traces left behind don't, which allowed us to discover the problem.”

The two sides contradicted each other, as though something was pulling and restraining them, each side pressing against the other.

Zhante didn't understand. He shook his head. “Why is it so chaotic? It doesn't make any sense.”

He Yu said, “Of course it's chaotic, because the struggle itself doesn't follow reason.”

Everyone frowned again and looked at He Yu in confusion. Gedai scratched his head. He had always thought Mechanical Planet people's brains worked exceptionally well, but at this moment, even he was finding it difficult to keep up!

Gedai asked, “What do you mean? What does it mean that the struggle doesn't follow reason? Why is the chaos normal?”

A smile rested at the corner of He Yu's lips. He raised a hand and pushed up his glasses. The rimless glasses made him look exceptionally aloof, and even the starlight in his eyes carried an icy chill. His white shirt was slightly disheveled, with two buttons at the collar undone, revealing glimpses of his collarbones. Yet his vest was still tightly fastened, outlining a slender waist that could seemingly be encircled with one hand.

He relaxed his entire body. He clearly wasn't tall compared to Federation people, yet his presence was extraordinary, dazzling beyond measure.

As long as he stood there, no one else could enter anyone's eyes.

He raised an eyebrow, the beauty mark at the corner of his eye moving with it, and his voice carried mockery. “With resources not cycling, how do you think the mastermind's death-trap instance would be arranged? Is this cruise ship safe?”

He Yu added, “We can assume the absolute worst of the mastermind.”

He didn't answer everyone's questions about the “chaotic struggle.” Instead, he turned to another issue. Clearly, the “chaotic struggle” wasn't what he wanted to discuss right now.

But the question of whether the cruise ship was safe was more than enough to seize everyone's attention.

Everyone: “!!!”

Zhante practically jumped. “Fuck, this cruise ship might sink?!”

If the damage accumulated on the cruise ship during the previous two cycles didn't cycle, then was it possible that this ship wouldn't even last until the moment they left Gama Strait?

In an instant, every hair on their bodies stood on end. Chills crawled down their spines, and their scalps went numb.

The moment they left Gama Strait alive, they would enter another cycle. In the next cycle, because there would be no supplementary plate, they were guaranteed to die.

But if the damage to the cruise ship accumulated, then they might not even be able to leave Gama Strait this time!

—This fucking instance really was blocking every possible path to survival.

Tang Ke broke down. “What do we do? Fuck, what the fuck are we supposed to do?!”

They clawed frantically at their head. “How dare the mastermind?! How dare they directly wipe us all out in front of the entire universe?!”

Zhen Xing pressed his lips tightly together. His emotions were equally turbulent, but after the initial upheaval, he regained his composure and sneered. “Why wouldn't they dare? <Kill the Prisoners>, <Are They Teammates?>—which of those instances wasn't like this?”

It was simply that before, the mastermind had mainly targeted He Yu. As for everyone else, the mastermind had still wanted to conceal their identity and allow this season of the competition to proceed smoothly.

However, Zhen Xing and the others had formed a team around He Yu. This team entrusted their backs to each other and trusted one another, somehow making it all the way to this point step by step, repeatedly causing the mastermind to fail and forcing the mastermind to retreat.

How could they tolerate that?

On the eve of the finals, the mastermind was no longer prepared to hold back. They had created an instance designed for a total wipeout, intending to completely eradicate every single member of He Yu's team!

At this moment, everyone was beginning to break down. Some of them even began to wonder—

Was it truly impossible to fight against the rules?

He Yu's gaze was sharp, his voice resolute. “In the previous cycle, Zhao Pingqi hadn't reached his death node. Barre died, and Zhao Pingqi didn't have much desire to keep living, so I immediately killed him.”

Once Barre died, the ship would stop.

Therefore, even without Zhao Pingqi's death memories, they would have discovered the problem at that moment.

Gedai took a deep breath, trying his best to remain calm. “You used his death node and memories to warn yourself that time was running out?”

He Yu shook his head. “Not only that. Anything I was capable of noticing by this point in the previous cycle, would I somehow be incapable of noticing now?”

Eugene was concentrating on piloting the ship, but his ears were perked up as he listened. At this moment, he curiously pressed, “Then what exactly do you mean by coordinating with yourself?”

He Yu said, “By this point in the previous cycle, I had already determined that we were going to fail. Because I knew there was still one supplementary plate left, I also knew there would be another cycle—and that it would be the final cycle.”

He Yu took a deep breath. “Once the me from the previous cycle determined that, I would definitely do everything possible to cooperate with the me in this cycle. So ‘he’ killed Zhao Pingqi cleanly and decisively, using Zhao Pingqi's death node and memories to tell the current me—time is extremely limited. Don't waste time thinking and deducing. And also, ‘he’ exists.”

Qiong was stunned. A guess had appeared in her mind, but she didn't dare believe it. She murmured, “If the current you doesn't think, then who's going to do the thinking?”

“Me. The me from the previous cycle.”

He Yu curled his lips and pushed up his glasses, his chin slightly raised. Viewed from the side, the exquisite, smooth curve of his face looked as sharp and cold as a blade. His voice held a smile, yet it was as frigid as frost in the depths of winter, his tone as pleasant as jade striking jade.

“The me from the previous cycle has only one thing to do: deduce the truth and tell me in ‘his’ own way.”

“The me in this cycle will use the remaining time to solve the problems. We coordinate across different cycles and divide the work between us.”

Only oneself could understand oneself best.

Only the He Yu of the third cycle could most clearly understand what the He Yu of the second cycle intended to do. With even the slightest hint, he could immediately respond.

Qiong opened her mouth, staring at He Yu in shock just like everyone else.

At this moment, he stood there dressed in a white shirt and black vest. His figure was thin and slender, yet straight as a pine tree. His rimless glasses rested loosely on the bridge of his exquisitely perfect nose, while the beauty mark at the corner of his eye added a touch of cool elegance.

His body was fragile and slender.

Yet his soul possessed extraordinary strength.

—So intelligent he was almost demonic.

Those were the only words that flashed through their minds at this moment.

By this point in the previous cycle, He Yu had already determined that there was absolutely no possibility of successfully solving the problem within that single cycle. Therefore, he had decisively “killed” Zhao Pingqi, using him as a medium to warn himself in the next cycle.

And He Yu understood himself.

He knew perfectly well that when there wasn't enough information, he had to gather enough of it.

The He Yu of the second cycle would gather information and deduce the truth, then tell the He Yu of the third cycle in his own way.

Meanwhile, the He Yu of the third cycle needed to solve the immediate problems before them.

For example—

Resources not cycling, and the possibility that during the third cycle, the cruise ship wouldn't even last long enough to leave Gama Strait.

How terrifying.

The same person across two different cycles could actually use Zhao Pingqi to coordinate with himself.

The instance and the mastermind had arranged certain death for them, but until the moment he actually died, He Yu would absolutely never resign himself to fate!

Duan Yuchen had one question. “Why did you choose Zhao Pingqi? Because he didn't want to live?”

That didn't seem like He Yu's way of doing things.

The He Yu of the second cycle had coordinated with Zhao Pingqi, using his death node and death memories as crucial information. That meant he must have confirmed that Zhao Pingqi stood on their side.

But given He Yu's personality, if he regarded Zhao Pingqi as one of his own, would he really be willing to kill him and make him a member of the “dead faction”?

Then they remembered what He Yu had just told Zhao Pingqi—

‘Belonging to the dead faction doesn't mean you're certain to die when we leave. I've already found some clues. You can survive.’

Gedai abruptly raised his voice. “The dead faction is fake?!”

By “fake,” he didn't mean that More and the others weren't members of the “dead faction.”

Rather, perhaps the “dead faction” and the “living faction” weren't actually opposing factions at all...

Hearing this, He Yu sneered and nodded. “The fact that the ‘me’ from the previous cycle killed Zhao Pingqi is enough to prove that. The disorder in the cycle's sequence may have allowed the me from the previous cycle to discover clues that I can't discover in this cycle and make further deductions.”

The process of each cycle being identical didn't mean every detail and every clue would also be identical.

After a pause, he said with certainty, “I don't know what the me from the previous cycle discovered, but if I killed Zhao Pingqi, then I must have confirmed that entering the dead faction doesn't necessarily mean dying in the end.”

They had “died” in previous cycles.

But in this cycle, they were still alive.

Could it be...

That the supposed opposition between the dead faction and the living faction was merely something the instance had induced them to believe?

Something designed to lure them into attacking He Yu and the others?

An instance designed for a total wipeout wasn't merely meant to wipe out He Yu's group.

In an instant, Yuan Ze clenched his fists, his teeth grinding audibly. “So the twenty-eight people who died... all died for nothing? They were clearly still alive in this cycle, yet the instance manipulated them into opposing us. Either we killed them, or they killed us?”

He thought of Hison, who hadn't wanted to die.

He thought of More, who had committed suicide...

At that instant, their blood boiled. It wasn't only Yuan Ze. A fire ignited in everyone's hearts, a fire that seemed determined to burn everything clean!

Bo Jingshan carried his Crescent Moon Curved Blade on his back. His voice was hoarse. “He Yu, what do we do next?”

—Until the moment they died, they would never bow their heads to the mastermind.

Let this fire burn.

If they didn't want it to burn them to death, then they would burn the mastermind to death instead!

He Yu took a deep breath, his gaze calm. “The cruise ship absolutely cannot stop. The instance cycles, but some of the supplies don't. The damage inflicted on the main body of the cruise ship during the previous two cycles absolutely won't cycle either. That's why there are cracks in the bridge. Those cracks must have been caused during the previous two cycles. And there's also—”

Gedai suddenly thought of something. His pupils contracted, and his voice trembled slightly.

“The warehouse... There were water stains in the warehouse...”

Everyone's breathing stopped.

Under what circumstances would there be water stains?

Water had gotten inside.

Or...

The ship had been destroyed.
