This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

After he finished speaking, the air instantly fell silent. Even the sound of breathing disappeared.

The scene froze, yet an eerie heaviness lingered in the stillness.

Everyone stared at He Yu. Without exception, their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Drip—

Blood was still falling.

He Yu’s face grew paler and paler, but the calm expression and certainty in his eyes never changed, making it impossible not to believe him.

After a long while, the Cafeteria Uncle finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

“What did you say? Say it again.”

He Yu repeated calmly, “There were indeed eight perpetrators. But the eighth person you killed was the wrong one. The one you killed was only a scapegoat. The real culprit is still out there.”

The Cafeteria Uncle’s breathing turned ragged as he stared fixedly at He Yu.

“You’re talking nonsense!”

The Janitor gripped her weapon tightly, her gaze sharp.

“Teacher He, some jokes can’t be made lightly. If you’re trying to survive this way, then you’ll only die faster.”

He Yu shook his head. Raising a hand, he pushed up his glasses.

“I never joke about the truth. Besides, I couldn’t possibly deceive all of you, could I?”

Silence fell over the scene again.

His words had struck everyone like a bomb.

The Cafeteria Uncle thought he had already taken revenge, only to suddenly be told that he had almost let the true mastermind escape?

From the moment He Yu said “you killed the wrong person,” Zhen Xing and Eugene had looked completely dazed, their faces practically screaming—

Who am I?

Where am I?

What the hell am I doing here?

The barrage comments also exploded after a momentary blank screen—

“Holy shit!! Is what he said real?!”

“No way, how could he possibly know that?”

“If he really guessed correctly, then I swear he definitely bought cheats!”

“I followed him the whole time, I genuinely have no idea how he figured it out!!”

“Actually, it’s not impossible to understand. While everyone else was investigating the murderer, He Yu was the only one constantly investigating Anna and You Mo’s case, along with the eight perpetrators. He checked records and interviewed people one by one...”

“There are five s-rank experts here. Unless he’s deliberately stalling for time so we’ll vote for him, he wouldn’t dare lie to them.”

“Fuck, if what he’s saying is true, I’m seriously getting on my knees. This is insanely impressive!”

...

Blood spilled from the corner of the Cafeteria Uncle’s mouth, but he ignored it completely. His eyes remained fixed only on He Yu as he asked with difficulty, his voice sounding like it was being squeezed out of his throat—

“How... do you know?”

He Yu didn’t keep them in suspense or pretend to be mysterious. He answered directly:

“Investigation and analysis. I’m over eighty percent certain.”

He looked at the Janitor.

“You suspected the eighth victim from the very beginning, didn’t you? You became suspicious of him and approached him. That’s how you found out what you told me before—that he was extremely rude, hot-tempered, and violent. Right?”

The Janitor nodded grimly.

—A group of s-rank experts now felt like they were being led around by the nose by a little brat.

But everything he said was impossible to reject.

Killed the wrong person?

Something even they didn’t know, yet this little monster sounded so certain...

“After you came into contact with the eighth victim, you discovered that he was indeed an abuser too. He regularly bullied classmates without restraint. His family background was extremely powerful and capable of suppressing the incident. He fit perfectly. But because you lacked concrete evidence, you continued monitoring him.”

He Yu’s voice remained calm, as though he were simply stating facts.

He hadn’t even been at this school when the incident happened, yet the way he spoke made it sound as though he had witnessed everything personally.

And even more terrifying—

What he said was true.

The expressions of the Cafeteria Uncle and the others became increasingly grave as they stared at him.

“Then eventually, you finally found a clue. Hidden deep inside the eighth victim’s locker, you found Anna’s belongings.”

He Yu looked at them steadily.

“The sequence must have been exactly like that, right?”

The Janitor frowned.

“How do you know that?”

He Yu smiled.

“Because it’s easy to infer. It had to happen in that order. The real perpetrator realized you were investigating the eighth victim, so naturally, he arranged for you to ‘discover’ evidence pointing toward him.”

“He was a smart person. He also stayed hidden inside the school the entire time, waiting for a chance to escape. When he killed Anna and You Mo, he never expected things would spiral into this. He thought his family could smooth everything over. He never imagined so many experts would end up hunting him.”

He Yu shrugged.

“Again, let me emphasize—he was truly intelligent. He never transferred schools, because he understood that transferring would make you focus on him. So he remained hidden the entire time, quietly watching you torture and kill the perpetrators one after another. He kept his composure. He understood that as long as you hadn’t killed every perpetrator, the murders wouldn’t end. So he created a scapegoat.”

The Homeroom Teacher narrowed her eyes slightly.

“This is all just your speculation. Maybe the eighth victim really was one of the perpetrators.”

The School Doctor and the Gatekeeper Uncle looked at him as well, their gazes conveying the exact same thought.

He Yu smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned by their doubts as he patiently continued explaining—

“It is speculation. But it’s reasonable, isn’t it? In three months, you uncovered the other seven perpetrators, yet the eighth remained completely invisible. No contact with the other seven. No suspicious traces whatsoever.”

“A perpetrator like that—would he really directly hide Anna’s belongings inside his own locker? Would he truly be that stupid? Would he really allow himself to be exposed that easily?”

“The person you killed was someone who flew into a violent rage simply because dust landed on him while someone was sweeping... With a personality like that, could he really stay calm for three entire months?”

[Barrage: ...Why do I actually think what he’s saying makes sense?!]

[Barrage: 666666 I’m convinced.]

[Barrage: This instance actually requires detective work? With this many twists? This is seriously unprecedented...]

He Yu continued:

“And I also spoke with his roommate. Before and after the murders, his attitude barely changed. He simply complained with his roommates that the school was incompetent and couldn’t catch the killer.”

His gaze returned to the Cafeteria Uncle.

“So there’s over an eighty percent probability that this person wasn’t the real culprit. The true murderer is still free. He successfully created a scapegoat. If I’m not mistaken, during this current large-scale student transfer, he’ll quietly leave together with the others.”

All the “perpetrators” had already been killed. There were also huge numbers of students transferring now, making him completely unnoticeable.

The true culprit had originally been able to leave smoothly and safely...

The Cafeteria Uncle’s breathing quickened violently. Staggering forward a step, he rasped hoarsely:

“Who is it?! Who is he?!”

Desperation filled his voice as he hurriedly offered conditions:

“Tell me who he is! As long as I can kill him, my life is yours afterward. Do whatever you want with me!”

He only wanted to know the murderer’s identity.

But He Yu shook his head.

“Sorry. There hasn’t been enough time. I haven’t managed to investigate that far yet.”

Looking at the despairing Cafeteria Uncle, he asked calmly:

“How much longer do you think you can live?”

The Cafeteria Uncle froze.

After a long pause, he answered hoarsely:

“Five days. I can feel it. I still have five days left.”

“That’s enough.”

He Yu looked downward, his eyes calm and emotionless.

“Give me three days. I’ll find the real murderer for you. In exchange—when you die, we have to be present.”

The Cafeteria Uncle wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth.

“If you can find him, I’ll do anything.”

He Yu nodded slightly.

“Then the deal is made.”

At that moment, the Janitor suddenly asked:

“Why are you helping us find the murderer?”

In truth, after realizing the Cafeteria Uncle was dying, He Yu could have simply stated—

They would no longer kill the Cafeteria Uncle.

All they had to do was survive.

Then they could appear again after the Cafeteria Uncle died.

But instead, he had chosen to reveal the truth, expose everything, and openly negotiate with them.

This clearly wasn’t just because of his personality.

It was also because...

He genuinely wanted to help them find the real murderer.

Hearing that, He Yu blinked slowly before curling his lips upward.

“Because that person deserves to die.

“If the law cannot judge him, then heaven will judge him. If heaven cannot judge him, then someone else will.

“If someone commits evil like that, then they deserve death. There is no reason for them to escape punishment.

“As we say on Blue Star—justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.”

His voice was light, not particularly forceful, yet every single word struck directly into people’s hearts.

The entire scene fell silent.

The barrage comments blanked out once more.

A long time later—

“This person... really is different.”

“Yeah. I suddenly kinda like He Yu now. His combat power may be terrible, but his inner world is incredibly strong.”

“And he’s smart and handsome too!! My vote’s going to him!”

“Heh. This garbage-planet native really thinks he’s somebody? So what if someone commits evil? Keli Hai killed plenty of garbage-planet people too, and he still advanced smoothly.”

“Exactly. The Federation has always worshipped strength. Without strength, his words are just meaningless bullshit.”

...

Blue Star.

Ye Kaijun opened his mouth, unable to say a single word.

He and the others present all looked toward Wei Jiaguo at the head of the room, only to discover that the latter had lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought.

After a very long silence, Wei Jiaguo finally raised his head. His voice was hoarse.

“I think... our mentality was wrong.”

Ye Kaijun gave a bitter smile.

“Yes. The Universe Federation and Blue Star’s crisis blinded us to everything. It even blinded our ability to distinguish good from evil.”

Back when they had selected contestants, they had deliberately chosen many death row inmates.

And the people who signed up most enthusiastically were also death row inmates.

So what if survival was nearly impossible? They were going to die anyway. At least entering <Top Talent Show> would let them live a few extra days.

That was why countless death row prisoners volunteered.

Wei Jiaguo and the others had thought—

Since they were going to die anyway, then dying inside <Top Talent Show> didn’t matter.

Moreover, many death row prisoners were vicious and cruel. Perhaps they could help Blue Star attract attention? Help Blue Star join the Universe Federation more quickly?

Without the protection of Federation law, Blue Star was like a weak lamb standing in a grassland surrounded by wolves. Danger lurked everywhere. At any moment, those hungry wolves could devour the entire planet whole.

Under those circumstances, all they could think about was protecting Blue Star. Joining the Universe Federation. Achieving good rankings in <Top Talent Show>...

And because of that, they completely ignored everything else.

They had even lost their moral judgment.

—They had actually placed their hopes on the serial killer Gao Jianming.

Blinded by desperation, they only saw Gao Jianming’s strength. They only cared whether he could save Blue Star.

They had completely forgotten...

...the innocent Blue Star people murdered by his hands.

A single sentence from He Yu had hit them like a heavy club to the head.

Wei Jiaguo raised a hand and closed Gao Jianming’s livestream on the far-right screen.

His voice was calm yet firm.

“From now on, we no longer need to pay attention to him.”

For the sake of those innocent people he had murdered.

—Dying inside <Top Talent Show> was another kind of torture.

—

Back at the scene.

After the deathly silence, the Cafeteria Uncle suddenly laughed.

His complexion was pale, yet his voice sounded strangely gentle.

“You truly are an exceptional little fellow. I hope you can really do it.”

He Yu replied calmly:

“I never break my promises.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

The Cafeteria Uncle looked deeply at him before waving at the others and weakly walking away.

The Janitor glanced several more times at the broom.

That was a high-level flying tool...

As though sensing her gaze, the broom suddenly wobbled proudly in midair.

Janitor: “......”

Forget it.

Although this flying tool was powerful, she was already old and honestly didn’t want such a bizarre piece of equipment.

Strange equipment suited strange people.

Thinking that, she peacefully turned and left.

Soon, only He Yu remained hovering in the air, alongside Zhen Xing and Eugene, while below them Wanrenzhan was still stuck in the wall, not yet fully peeled off.

Wanrenzhan: “......”

Wanrenzhan: “???”

From the moment he had waited for He Yu to die until those people finally left, Wanrenzhan’s entire brain had remained in a permanently confused state.

Even now, he still stared blankly at the He Yu floating overhead.

He Yu was only flying low in the air, yet for some reason, Wanrenzhan felt as though He Yu stood impossibly high above everyone else.

Hanging from the ship, Eugene swallowed hard.

“He Yu... did you already prepare a trump card beforehand? So even against five s-rank experts, you weren’t afraid?”

Zhen Xing also looked toward him, eyes full of confusion.

He Yu answered calmly:

“Ninety percent confidence. The remaining ten percent was the possibility that the accomplices wouldn’t bother listening and would simply kill us outright.”

Eugene and Zhen Xing: “......”

After a long pause, Eugene asked again:

“You also knew from the beginning that the Cafeteria Uncle’s body was failing? That he was definitely going to die?”

He Yu replied:

“Not entirely. Before, it was only speculation. Tonight confirmed it.”

After pausing briefly, he added:

“I told you before. As long as you listened to me, everyone could clear the instance alive.”

The three of them: “......”

—So those six idiots had run away way too fast!!

Hey, you just wasted one hundred thousand votes!!

The barrage exploded—

“So can we still watch Cheng Zhao and Gedai’s streams now?”

“Yes. Although contestants in the elimination transfer station can turn off their livestreams, they didn’t.”

“So what are they doing?”

“...Watching He Yu’s livestream.”

“Fuck! Even I feel bad for them now. But honestly, in that situation, who wouldn’t run?!”

...

Gedai stared gloomily at the screen, his expression complicated.

This time, it wasn’t just the loss of one hundred thousand votes.

His popularity would also definitely suffer.

Hadn’t Eugene and Zhen Xing both stayed behind?

Even Wanrenzhan—that not-so-smart brute—hadn’t fled either.

Beside him, Annie gritted their teeth.

“This He Yu bastard had so many trump cards, but he refused to tell us a single thing! He deliberately scared us into running away!!”

Tang Ke remained silent, clearly agreeing.

Qiong rolled her eyes.

“Oh, give it a rest. We were the ones who ran too quickly.”

She pressed down the brim of her hat and looked at the calm He Yu on-screen, muttering softly:

“If I ever enter another instance with you again, I’m definitely sticking to you no matter what.”

Cheng Zhao and Yuan Ze exchanged helpless looks, both hearts aching over their lost one hundred thousand votes.

If only...

If only they had stayed just a little longer.

He Yu really was a complete freak. Even in that kind of situation, he still managed to reverse everything!

On-screen—

Eugene and Zhen Xing were preparing to descend when they noticed He Yu hadn’t moved.

Eugene blinked blankly.

“Why aren’t you coming down?”

He Yu answered calmly:

“I provided the brainpower and convinced them. So shouldn’t you provide something else?”

His tone remained perfectly calm and composed.

“What do you want?” Eugene narrowed his eyes.

“Recovery potions.”

Zhen Xing’s gaze shifted toward He Yu’s arm.

Blood was still dripping from the wounded arm. His skin had become so pale it almost looked translucent, yet his expression showed no abnormality whatsoever.

“Your injury needs one?” Zhen Xing asked while already pulling out a potion.

He Yu replied:

“I’ll probably need two.”

Eugene also pulled a potion from his backpack and handed it over, but He Yu didn’t take it.

Below them, Wanrenzhan sneered:

“Let me make this clear first—I absolutely won’t give you any—”

He Yu interrupted calmly:

“Poor bastard. You don’t have any.”

Wanrenzhan: “???”

Another critical hit landed directly on his soul.

Aside from his axe, he genuinely had no equipment whatsoever.

—But wasn’t that all because of the damned He Yu?!

—Wanrenzhan gritted his teeth.

Zhen Xing blinked.

“You don’t want it?”

He Yu’s voice remained calm, though it grew softer and softer:

“Feed it... to me...”

After speaking, he closed his eyes and fell straight downward.

Zhen Xing caught him immediately, only to discover that the body in his hands felt as cold as a corpse, without the slightest warmth.

His expression changed instantly.

He hurriedly poured the potion into He Yu’s mouth before grabbing Eugene’s potion and feeding that one to him as well.

Eugene stared blankly.

“What’s wrong with him?” —Wasn’t it just a scratch on the arm? It didn’t even look that serious.

The viewers were equally stunned.

Only then did they suddenly notice the system notification belonging to He Yu displayed in the livestream interface—

【Ding! Contestant No. 2333 He Yu is on the verge of death. Dropped equipment: one pair of useless plain glasses, one set of stylish but impractical clothes, one unknown Luck Reversal Bead, one copy of <Basic Principles of Combat Power Development>, one plain and ordinary knife, one unfinished dull blade, one somewhat ugly yet extremely high-level broom.】

Timestamp: twenty minutes earlier.

Audience: “!!!”

“Holy shit, He Yu was already dying twenty minutes ago?!”

“He was weak enough for the system to determine he was about to die, yet he still calmly analyzed everything and negotiated conditions?!”

“Holy fuck holy fuck! He’s absolutely insane!”

“My god, He Yu is seriously badass. This is genuinely unbelievable.”

“But... eight combat power really is absurdly weak.”

“My mom just asked why I’m watching livestreams while kneeling...”

...

Cruel as it was, that really was the truth.

Wanrenzhan had taken a direct attack head-on and been blasted into a wall, yet after peeling himself off, he was still perfectly fine. Even after being smashed again, he still survived without fatal injuries.

Meanwhile, He Yu had merely been grazed once by an s-rank expert.

Just a scratch on the arm had nearly killed him.

Seeing He Yu’s breathing gradually stabilize, Zhen Xing finally let out a long breath.

“Thank god. The potions were administered in time. As long as he rests properly, he’ll recover.”

Eugene looked confused.

“What exactly happened to him?”

Zhen Xing paused before answering slowly:

“Maybe that s-rank expert was even stronger than we imagined. Or maybe their equipment is especially unusual.”

Eugene immediately understood and nodded.

“I see. He Yu really can endure. He was injured badly enough to require two four-star recovery potions, yet he still kept talking nonstop like nothing was wrong.”

Zhen Xing responded with a quiet hum but said nothing more.

Lowering his gaze, he looked deeply at the fragile-looking He Yu in his arms.

The two of them descended with He Yu while the broom followed tightly behind him, mischievously bumping into things everywhere.

Below them, Wanrenzhan approached.

“Why’d you save him? You should’ve just let him die. That way we’d have one less competitor.”

As an npc teacher, He Yu couldn’t be killed directly.

But they absolutely could have stood by and watched him die.

As much as he hated admitting it, He Yu truly was dangerous.

Eugene rolled his eyes.

“Are you stupid? If He Yu died, could you find the eighth perpetrator in three days?”

Wanrenzhan: “......”

He snorted coldly.

“In the end, only one person survives this competition. He Yu’s a dangerous bastard. You’d better be careful not to capsize in the gutter someday.”

Neither Zhen Xing nor Eugene replied.

Wanrenzhan stared deeply at the pale-faced yet peacefully breathing He Yu. Hugging his axe, he said darkly:

“One day, you’ll die by my hands.”

—

At dawn, He Yu opened his eyes.

Yesterday’s injuries had already healed.

Federation recovery potions truly were effective against wounds.

Back on Blue Star, this would practically be considered divine medicine.

“You’re awake?” Zhen Xing hopped down from the bed nearby.

He Yu glanced around and realized they were inside a student dormitory.

Eugene entered through the doorway and explained:

“You looked like that last night, and we couldn’t enter the teachers’ dorms, so we brought you back to the student dormitory instead.”

This dorm room had originally belonged to Gedai and the others.

Now, only the few of them remained.

Wanrenzhan stood behind Eugene, expressionless.

He Yu slowly sat up. His expression remained calm as always. After hearing the explanation, he simply nodded once to indicate that he understood.

Wanrenzhan couldn’t stand He Yu’s attitude and immediately mocked him:

“You really are gutsy. Even in that kind of situation, you still dared hand your life over to someone else. Weren’t you afraid they’d just let you die? This isn’t a place where real teammates exist.”

Every teammate here was temporary.

Every single person was ultimately an opponent.

He Yu lifted his eyelids and glanced at him.

“But I’m still alive, aren’t I?”

Wanrenzhan sneered.

“But what if they had—”

He Yu interrupted calmly:

“I never waste time assuming things that never happened and never will happen again.”

He was an extremely dangerous gambler.

But as long as he won the gamble, he never bothered imagining what losing would have looked like.

—Because there was no meaning in it.

Eugene raised a thumbs-up.

“You saved us yesterday. I’m not exactly a good person, but I’m not the type to repay kindness with betrayal either. We’ll talk about future matches later. In this instance, we’re teammates. I won’t just watch you die.”

He Yu replied flatly:

“Oh.”

Then he looked at Eugene and narrowed his eyes slightly.

“You sure it’s not because you have absolutely zero clues yourself, so you had no choice but to save me?”

Eugene: “......”

He rubbed his nose awkwardly.

“Don’t expose me like that.”

At that moment, Zhen Xing suddenly asked:

“You only requested three days. Does that mean you already found another clue?”

Eugene nodded vigorously.

“Exactly. I refuse to believe you don’t have any leads.”

Wanrenzhan immediately mocked from the side:

“He knows something alright. But that doesn’t mean he’ll necessarily tell you.”
