This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Behind him, everyone was already stunned.

Blue Eyes' identity had just been revealed like that?!

They had already known before, but none of them had ever dared to say it aloud, precisely because they feared the series of negative consequences that would follow. Why had He Yu suddenly stated it outright now?

Did none of those concerns matter anymore?

Yuan Ze was from an ordinary planet, from Li Zhan's homeworld.

Li Zhan had been trapped inside <Top Talent Show>. At first, the people of his planet had not known. Later, when they guessed the truth, they were furious and wanted to expose it, but the Main Planet agents who had participated in the matter 160 years ago had grown nervous.

Wanrenzhan opened his mouth, his voice trembling slightly. "Is it really okay... to just say it like that?"

Saying it aloud would inevitably cause a massive upheaval.

They were still livestreaming...

He Yu abruptly turned around to look at them, his gaze as sharp as a blade. "Of course it's fine. If my guess is correct, we've already encountered what happened to the previous season. The <Top Talent Show> livestream has already stopped. Or rather, in the eyes of everyone in the Federation, we were already completely wiped out during the first cycle."

His lips curled into a cold sneer. "Outside, everything is already in chaos."

They had been inside the instance for so long, yet they hadn't seen the Bullet Screen even once. This wasn't a coincidence. There simply was no Bullet Screen at all!

What had happened to the previous season was happening to them again.

The mastermind behind the scenes no longer wanted to keep struggling against them. They wanted to achieve their objective directly.

Everyone sucked in a sharp breath.

-

Universe Federation, District One.

Three days ago, <Top Talent Show> had ended.

Yes, it had ended abruptly. Originally, everyone had been discussing Siya's death and demanding an explanation from the production team. Only after the contestants entered the second half of the semifinals and entered the instance called <Ferry> did their attention shift slightly.

At first, everyone was discussing the instance rules and the contestants' identities. The atmosphere was harmonious. Especially when faced with a group of handsome men in uniforms, the Bullet Screen was unusually relaxed—

"Hahaha, so handsome."

"My God He is the most handsome. No explanations needed!"

"God He isn't the most handsome, he's the prettiest hahaha. Let's discuss who looks best with God He?"

"My Gedai is wearing a couple outfit with him! Absolute victory!"

"Eugene is the best match. Captain and little attendant, oh my god, I've already imagined an epic, heart-wrenching romance novel!"

"Look at Zhen Xing! Zhen Xing! Xing-He CP is forever unbeatable. The highest-ranking domineering CEO on the cruise ship and the little attendant—now that's perfect."

"Fuck, I've never shipped Wanrenzhan and He Yu, but just look at Wanrenzhan's body. Holy shit, I'm sold."

"The contestants this season are seriously too handsome. You can ship literally anyone with anyone."

"Oh my god, Qiong looks incredible in a skirt too! It would've been even better if Siya were here!!"

...

The negotiations, taking nutritional supplements—the journey had been fairly relaxed, and the viewers relaxed along with them, discussing everything and shipping every possible CP. Everything was peaceful.

At eight o'clock, everyone was waiting to see exactly what kind of danger the <Ferry> instance would bring. No one could possibly have expected—

The cruise ship entered Gama Strait.

A violent storm erupted, and the waves churned violently.

Most terrifying of all, the corrosive rainwater and corrosive seawater seeped into every possible opening. The cabin doors they had repaired were instantly corroded, and enormous quantities of seawater poured into the cruise ship.

At eight o'clock, countless people struggled beneath the corrosive rain.

Zhen Xing, Wanrenzhan, Ling Buchen, Bo Jingshan, Eugene, Gedai, Qiong, Duan Yuchen, Yuan Ze, Zhante, and Tang Ke—eleven people exhausted every ounce of their strength protecting He Yu.

Yet in the face of such a disaster, human strength was simply insufficient.

He Yu's body was too fragile. Even droplets of water splashed up by the ship's violent rocking were enough to kill him.

And after He Yu died, the others had no heart left to continue resisting. The ship sank, and one after another, the contestants they loved fell into the corrosive seawater.

Every livestream became a tragedy.

When the corrosive rain began eating away at He Yu's body, Ling Buchen covered his eyes, Zhen Xing held him in his arms, and Qiong gritted her teeth and raised her hand. Threads swept past, allowing He Yu to leave without suffering any pain.

Wanrenzhan stood in front of He Yu and was the first to be corroded. Only a skeleton remained of him. He tried to reach out and grab He Yu, but how could a hand made only of bones ever reach him? He tried so, so desperately, yet he was still swept away by the black tide.

Bo Jingshan embraced his Crescent Moon Saber and closed his eyes as he sank into the deep sea.

Eugene and Gedai, the two mechanical beings, ultimately became piles of broken scrap metal, reduced to the most wretched form they despised most.

Yuan Ze and Zhante tried to fly away, but the corrosive seawater engulfed them and carried them into the distance.

Duan Yuchen and Tang Ke struggled desperately, but in the end, only their heads remained floating on the sea before falling completely silent.

He Yu had felt no pain when he died. After his death, Zhen Xing and Ling Buchen took him down into the sea together with the cruise ship. He never appeared the slightest bit wretched; under the protection of those two, none of the ugliness caused by the corrosion was ever exposed to the camera.

The final image in his livestream was still his radiant face, as beautiful as a summer flower.

The fifty livestreams in the Selection Area went dark one after another in an extremely short span of time, giving the viewers no time whatsoever to react.

Once every livestream had gone black, not a single livestream remained in the Selection Area.

Countless viewers remained frozen on that screen, staring blankly at the Selection Area.

Gone?

Not a single one left?

Ke Ai still clearly remembered how he had felt at that moment. Bewildered, he kept scrolling through the Selection Area, but no matter how much he scrolled, there was nowhere to go. Not a single livestream remained. The Selection Area was nothing but a blank space.

In a daze, he opened the public chat plaza.

The entire screen was filled with "?"

Countless people were asking questions.

Every social media platform, every place where people could discuss the competition, was filled with confusion.

—Bewilderment.

—They didn't understand. They didn't believe it.

Some even wondered whether they had seen it wrong.

How could it happen so suddenly? Where were they? What happened next in the instance?

Half an hour later, after repeatedly checking the Selection Area, repeatedly checking every major social platform for the latest information, and repeatedly discussing it with others, they finally confirmed it—

Total wipeout.

He Yu and the others, who had only just been smiling as they prepared to face Gama Strait, had been completely wiped out at the very beginning of the <Ferry> instance.

The slender and frail He Yu, whose intelligence bordered on the demonic;

Ling Buchen, white on the outside and black on the inside;

The steady, imposing, blue-haired Zhen Xing;

The foolish blockhead Wanrenzhan;

The technologically advanced, flirtatious mechanical being Eugene;

And...

They were all dead just like that?

Ke Ai remembered standing up immediately, putting on all his equipment, grabbing his weapon, and charging straight toward the <Top Talent Show> production team's building.

By the time he arrived, the building had already been completely destroyed.

Their next targets were the Royal Palace and the official government of District One. At the same time, identical scenes were unfolding across countless planets. The Federation citizens, consumed by rage, could not accept it!

Again!

It was happening again!

The previous season had been the first time an accident had occurred during the competition, and back then, they hadn't developed such deep feelings for the contestants, nor had there been so many secrets involved. But this season—which of these contestants wasn't an expert they loved?

Duan Yuchen, Gedai, and the others weren't the only ones whose attitudes had changed. The viewers had long since been captivated by the contestants fighting side by side. At first, they had wanted to watch bloody slaughter. Now, all they wanted was for them to come out alive...

Especially after the "final vote" in the <Kill the Prisoner> instance, the viewers had felt as though they themselves had fought alongside He Yu's team. They sincerely loved He Yu and the others. They sincerely hoped they would make it out.

After surviving through so many impossible hardships, they had been completely wiped out?

Their beloved God He had just been wiped out like that?

How could that be possible!!

Ke Ai roared furiously.

At the same time, Qiao grabbed the enraged Larry and stopped him from attacking.

Larry roared, "He Yu and the others were murdered! It's a conspiracy! This isn't fair! This isn't a competition—it's a conspiracy!"

Qiao roared even louder than him, "I fucking know! But we can't attack this equipment! We have to preserve it! I don't believe God He is dead, and I don't believe Blue Eyes will do nothing!"

Larry froze.

Qiao screamed, "We preserve the equipment and create a stable environment outside. If they're still alive, we have to be able to see the livestream from inside! If they're dead, then we have to avenge them!"

Larry's eyes were bloodshot as he breathed heavily.

He had to admit that Qiao was calmer than he was.

And calmness was more valuable than impulsiveness. Qiao was right. They couldn't simply destroy the equipment now. Even if they had to search through the instances one by one afterward, they had to find some useful clues!

From looking down on He Yu of the garbage planet at the very beginning, to now desperately trying to help He Yu...

Throughout the journey of <Top Talent Show>, it had never been only the contestants who changed.

Larry suppressed his hatred and violent rage and joined Qiao in protecting the equipment.

By the time they arrived, An Xu had already led people in escorting the equipment away. Seeing them come to help, An Xu immediately handed everything over to them, leaving behind only one sentence—

"I'm going to calm the citizens down. Protect the equipment!"

After that, Larry, Qiao, their friends, and several of He Yu's fans guarded the equipment for three days. They gritted their teeth and held their ground, protecting it with everything they had.

Outside, after two days of chaos, An Xu and people from the various planets finally managed to temporarily "calm" the furious citizens.

It wasn't exactly "calming" them. Rather, they convinced everyone to stop temporarily so they could work together to find a solution.

Even that had only been possible because An Xu announced that there was a "truth" that had to be revealed first. Only then did the enraged citizens calm down enough to prepare to hear this so-called "truth."

And now was the time when they would hear it. Supposedly, the King himself would publicly confess the mistakes the Federation had once committed, after which everyone would work together to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Qiao and Larry kept switching between two screens. One showed the King's public conference, although it hadn't begun yet, while the other displayed the Selection Area.

They kept that screen open the entire time, as though by doing so, they could keep hoping that those vanished livestreams would light up again, one after another...

-

Gama Strait.

Zhante opened his mouth. "So... our livestream has already been cut off, and now we're just toys in the mastermind's hands? They can deal with us however they want?"

While the livestream had still been running, the other side had at least possessed some reservations. Now that the livestream was gone, what did they possibly have left to fear?

He Yu looked at him. His rimless glasses rested loosely on the bridge of his nose, his gaze calm. "No. We're not fish on a chopping board. There's still Li Zhan. He's keeping the mastermind in check."

Gedai took a deep breath and said calmly, "Li Zhan has already lost once."

He Yu pursed his lips. His gaze darkened slightly, but his voice remained calm. "That's why we don't have much time."

Eugene looked dejected. "What can we do? What else can we possibly do?"

Wanrenzhan's eyes were filled with despair. He had experienced this agony before. If he hadn't been too weak and too stupid, he wouldn't have become the lucky survivor last time...

He had never imagined they would experience the same thing a second time.

"There's a lot we can do."

He Yu took a deep breath and raised his hand to push up his glasses. "The livestream has stopped, so we have to restore it. I need to establish contact with the outside."

"How is that possible?!" Eugene raised his voice in disbelief.

He Yu looked at Qiong, his eyes blazing.

"Qiong, it's time to bring out the trump card you've hidden the deepest."
