This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Three simple, matter-of-fact sentences instantly blew everyone's thoughts into complete chaos.

Qiong supported herself against Gedai with one hand while rubbing her head with the other, trying to digest the enormous amount of information.

Then she looked at Gedai beside her. He had already forgotten to breathe. His eyes were wide open and flickering, making him look like a "robot." Clearly, the revelation had stunned him so badly that he had even forgotten to maintain his image as a "mechanical being."

What mechanical beings feared most was being mistaken for robots.

Zhen Xing, Ling Buchen, Eugene, and Yuan Ze had already vaguely guessed where this was going. After all, He Yu's explanation had progressed layer by layer, unraveling the truth thread by thread, so they handled the revelation slightly better.

Zhante and Wanrenzhan stood frozen in place. One nearly dropped his axe, while the other's long staff fell onto his foot. He sucked in a sharp breath but didn't even bother looking down.

Bo Jingshan had always been steady, yet even his expression changed slightly now.

After a long silence, Yuan Ze was the first to speak, his voice hoarse. "So... there really is a mole among us, and the mole wants to kill you?"

There was no one else left aboard the ship.

If the mastermind could directly erase He Yu, He Yu would have died long ago. That left only their previous theory—

There was a mole among them.

And that mole wasn't Tang Ke.

It was one of the ten people still standing here.

What Yuan Ze could think of, everyone else could think of as well. Their breathing instantly grew heavier. The faces of everyone around them flashed through their minds. It seemed as though every single person could be the mole, yet at the same time, every single one seemed impossible!

There was still someone among them who wanted He Yu dead?

And had killed him again and again?

—The very thought sent chills down their spines.

He Yu raised his hand, bundled the three identical bedsheets together, and tossed them into the black corrosive seawater.

"Bang!"

They landed with a muffled splash.

They wouldn't need these things anymore.

There were no more supplementary panels. If there was another loop, they would undoubtedly die. All the clues carried by these sheets had already been deciphered, so there was no longer any use for them.

At this moment, they had already reached this point.

Either they lived or they died.

There would be no other outcome.

If they lived, they would enter the finals.

If they died, their journey through the competition would end here.

And the instant He Yu finished deducing everything, he knew—

This might be the greatest crisis they had ever faced.

Their probability of survival was so low that He Yu didn't want to tell them.

So low that even he felt a trace of despair.

The He Yu from the previous loop had known there was a mole. Would he have been completely unguarded?

Of course not.

He had been on guard, and he must have guarded against everyone.

Yet even then, he had failed to prevent it.

He had still died.

His deductions had brought him this far. It was as though a door stood before him, and opening it meant certain death.

But He Yu could never admit defeat.

That door—

He would still open it!

He Yu watched the corrosive seawater devour the bedsheets and said calmly, "Yes. Although I trust every single one of you, at this point, every clue indicates that there is a mole among us. The mole who killed Siya and Barre."

"We were all together when Barre died." Zhante's voice was hoarse.

He Yu replied indifferently, "No one was suspicious when Siya died either."

No one had been suspicious.

But the fact remained that both Siya and Barre had died.

The mastermind had never personally acted.

Someone must have acted on the mastermind's behalf.

Gedai finally recovered from his shock. He emphasized incredulously, "You just said you've died twice, at least twice. What does that mean?"

He Yu never wasted words.

The words "at least" were crucial.

He Yu withdrew his gaze from the bedsheets and turned to face everyone. His rimless glasses rested loosely on the bridge of his high nose. His pale lips parted—

"Are we really in the third loop right now?"

"Have there really only been three loops?"

If there hadn't been three, could there have been four?!

Everyone's breathing stalled.

Qiong opened her mouth. It took her a long moment before she managed to ask, "Do you have any clues that can confirm it?"

He Yu pondered briefly, then raised his hand and pointed toward the kitchen below.

"This is only my speculation and intuition. Or perhaps it's the answer my subconscious is telling me. You can check the vegetable leaf in the refrigerator and estimate how long it should stay fresh. If this isn't the third loop, then by now, that leaf shouldn't be fresh anymore."

He couldn't describe what he was feeling right now.

The loops were real.

Everything he had experienced in every loop had been real.

And after several evolutions, He Yu's mind wasn't something that could be altered so easily.

Ever since he saw the bloodstained bedsheets, ever since he confirmed that the bedsheet was the anchor point, He Yu's intuition had grown stronger.

It was as though the answer had been hidden deep within his subconscious.

As though the versions of himself from the previous loops were still helping him uncover the truth!

Zhante immediately jumped down.

The refrigerator was still intact. He pulled it open directly. The remaining vegetable leaf inside was extremely conspicuous; the otherwise empty refrigerator contained nothing but that single leaf.

—The vegetable leaf had already wilted.

Zhante raised it and looked gravely at He Yu.

This wasn't the third loop...

He Yu wasn't surprised in the slightest. He gave a mocking smile.

Yuan Ze's voice was hoarse. "If the loop is caused by you, then you died in the very first one. That means the so-called dead faction and living faction never existed at all..."

He Yu curled his lips. "Right. Our previous speculation was correct. There was never any opposition between a dead faction and a living faction. In fact, there were never any factions at all."

He tilted his head back and looked upward. His gaze seemed mocking yet filled with coldness, and his voice was soft—

"When we first discovered that supplies didn't loop, I started wondering about something. Would a cruise ship really have no basic repair materials aboard? Wanrenzhan destroying the cabin door was an inevitable event. If the ship had those necessary supplies, then during the first time, we wouldn't have used a supplementary panel. Those supposedly newly stocked supplementary panels seem more like a path to survival that was supplied to us afterward."

At the time, the staff's first reaction had been to tell them to repair the damage themselves. Eugene had searched the warehouse, but there hadn't been any repair materials inside.

That in itself was illogical.

Even the staff had complained about it.

He Yu lowered his gaze and swept it across everyone.

"The first time, we were completely wiped out."

No ordinary repair material could possibly achieve the same effect as the supplementary panels.

If they had repaired the ship using materials found aboard during the first time, then the instant they entered Gama Strait, they would inevitably have died.

Not long after entering Gama Strait, every single one of them had perished.

Not one had survived.

Wanrenzhan clenched his fist.

Yuan Ze's expression turned ugly.

Zhante ground his teeth.

The first time they entered Gama Strait, everyone had been wiped out.

That meant the entire concept of a dead faction and a living faction had been deliberately planted by the mastermind to mislead them and make them slaughter one another!

More, Hison, and those contestants who hadn't wanted to die or become enemies with He Yu's group had been misled by the system and by special notifications, sending themselves down a dead end...

Including Tang Ke.

Those people had chosen their own paths to death.

Yet they had still died unjustly!

Qiong's nails dug into her palm, her teeth grinding audibly.

Eugene found something strange about it. "If all of us were wiped out the first time, wasn't that exactly what the mastermind wanted? Then why were there later loops?"

He Yu curled his lips.

"Our instance is actually called <Ferry>, not <Ferry Loop>. That's precisely why its name was changed afterward. Because a loop occurred, it was renamed <Ferry Loop>, making us misunderstand and believe that the loop would continue as long as I remained alive. It made us believe that the mastermind created the loop."

"In reality, the loop was never arranged by the mastermind!"

A smile hung on He Yu's lips, but his eyes were as cold as blades.

"Haven't you been wondering why this instance feels so chaotic and contradictory? Why some things loop while others don't? It's because—two forces are pulling against each other."

Ling Buchen slowly continued for him, "One is saving us, and the other is trying to kill us..."

He Yu nodded. "Right. One force created the loop, while another force prevented the supplies from looping. Their chaotic struggle caused the details to differ every time we looped. It caused the loop to begin, yet left us with only three chances to survive."

Three supplementary panels.

Three chances to survive.

Tang Ke had believed they could only survive by killing He Yu.

But that wasn't true.

They had to keep He Yu alive until the cruise ship left Gama Strait.

Only then could they end the loop!

And clearly, they had already failed the previous two times.

—There was someone among them who absolutely had to kill He Yu.

And that person had succeeded every single time.

Eugene couldn't understand. He shook his head, confusion filling his black eyes. "If one of us is the mastermind's mole, then why would the mastermind arrange for everyone to be wiped out the first time? We all died in the real first loop, right after entering Gama Strait. Wouldn't the mole have died too?"

Wanrenzhan sneered. "With a rotten bastard like that mastermind, you think they'd care whether one chess piece lives or dies?"

The mole was merely another chess piece.

If sacrificing that piece achieved the goal, then so be it.

But He Yu shook his head.

"I've never doubted the mastermind's intelligence. Just like how I made two arrangements for Tang Ke, the other side would definitely prepare two possibilities as well. If we were completely wiped out, everyone would be happy. But the probability of that succeeding wasn't high."

After a pause, He Yu continued, "The mastermind knew someone wouldn't simply stand by and watch me die. The first total wipeout was actually bait. Its purpose was to lure out the force opposing the mastermind."

"That force would save us. Whether through a loop or by some other means, it would definitely make some kind of arrangement. The mastermind drew that force out and tied it down."

"And only then was it time for the mole to act. No matter how many times we looped, no matter what situation we found ourselves in, with the mastermind's assistance, the mole had only one objective—"

"Kill me."

He Yu tilted his head back and swallowed. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was hoarse.

"The mastermind doesn't merely want to kill us. There's another existence that the mastermind fears more than anything."

Perhaps even—

The mastermind had constructed such an enormous scheme with He Yu as something other than its true core objective.

He Yu was the mole's target.

The mastermind and the mole were cooperating to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!

At this moment, almost everyone had already guessed who He Yu was talking about.

They weren't unfamiliar with that person at all.

In fact, they had come here as spies precisely because of him.

And it had already been a long time since they last saw him...

Although Gedai already knew the answer, he still instinctively asked, "Who?"

He Yu stared straight ahead.

It was as though he were looking at that person.

Or perhaps he was looking into the camera, at the audience outside, at everyone throughout the Federation.

His pale lips moved.

He spoke one word at a time, his voice perfectly clear—

"Blue Eyes."

"Li Zhan."
