This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Whether He Yu was scared or not was unknown.

Wanrenzhan definitely was.

He spun around abruptly, staring ahead with extreme vigilance.

But aside from the traces of their battle, there was nothing there.

He scanned the surrounding corridors.

Everything remained calm.

Nothing unusual appeared.

The terrifying possibility seemed to be nothing more than speculation.

Yet the calmer everything looked, the more creeped out Wanrenzhan became.

Glancing sideways at He Yu, he gritted his teeth.

“He Yu! Next time you notice something like this, can you tell me earlier?!”

You can't just stay silent and then suddenly say something like that!

It's terrifying, okay?!

He Yu looked innocent.

“But you charged in immediately. You didn't give me a chance to speak.”

Wanrenzhan:

“...”

He Yu stopped paying attention to him.

His gaze swept around the corridor.

Then he touched his chin, deep in thought.

The moment Wanrenzhan saw that expression, he knew He Yu had discovered something.

The complaint he wanted to make died in his throat.

Instead he asked,

“What did you figure out now?”

He Yu considered.

“Not entirely sure yet. I need to verify it.”

Wanrenzhan:

“...”

He didn't even have the energy to complain anymore.

“How?”

He Yu turned around.

“Let's walk back and see.”

Wanrenzhan hurried after him.

Earlier they had chosen the left path at the fork.

The first time, the left path contained spiderwebs.

This time it contained vines.

After returning, the two entered the right corridor to see what appeared there.

Scorpions.

Neither spiderwebs nor vines.

Wanrenzhan's expression changed repeatedly.

His grip tightened around his axe.

For once, he didn't rush forward to fight.

Instead, he stood at a distance and observed.

After a moment, he spoke before He Yu could.

“Should we try returning to the hall?”

He Yu nodded.

“I agree.”

The two began heading back.

However, what should have been a short journey suddenly seemed unusually long.

And while walking—

They encountered spiders.

Wanrenzhan's breathing quickened.

His muscles tensed.

His axe remained ready for battle at any moment.

His voice turned hoarse.

“The corridors are changing...”

Getting in had been easy.

Getting out seemed far more difficult.

He Yu sighed.

“I finally understand.”

“This is what <Labyrinth Chaos> really means.”

His eyes fixed on the spiderwebs ahead.

“They were probably wrong to split up.”

He looked particularly serious.

“Because once we're separated, we may never be able to regroup.”

Not only fail to regroup.

They could become permanently lost within the palace.

Wanrenzhan's heart skipped a beat.

He Yu continued,

“So let's pray the mole in our team doesn't run into trouble.”

The chat exploded.

“Fuck! The corridors actually change?! That's horrifying.”

“Now THIS is a real maze.”

“Wait... does anyone else think something feels off? Does He Yu really not know splitting up means they can't reunite? That doesn't sound like him.”

“Come on. He wasn't the one who suggested splitting up. Wanrenzhan proposed it.”

“But it kinda feels like He Yu guided Wanrenzhan into suggesting it!”

“...You're overthinking it. What motive would He Yu even have? His combat power is terrible.”

“Agreed. Some people act like He Yu is omnipotent.”

“Just keep watching. I want to see how they clear this stage. It looks insanely difficult.”

“The others from Team One have also noticed the changing corridors. Everyone's desperately searching for a way out now.”

...

Wanrenzhan asked,

“So what do we do now?”

The surroundings were silent.

The shifting corridors had completely destroyed their original plan.

Everyone was separated.

Everyone was trapped.

Nobody knew what would happen next.

The corridor was pitch-black.

The only person beside him was He Yu.

And He Yu happened to be smart.

So Wanrenzhan could only ask him.

He Yu spread his hands helplessly.

“I don't really have a solution.”

“But it seems we only have one option.”

Wanrenzhan looked at him.

He Yu continued,

“Even if we find the way back, the others may not.”

They could return.

The others might not.

In that case, regrouping in the hall would be meaningless.

Everyone would just end up entering the maze again.

Wanrenzhan took a deep breath.

He understood.

“So we can only search for an exit ourselves. Clear the maze. Break through it.”

He Yu nodded.

“Exactly. That's all we can do.”

The ten members of Team One were already separated.

Searching for each individual teammate would waste even more time.

It made more sense to continue pushing forward.

Perhaps solving the maze would allow everyone to leave together.

Or perhaps they would encounter teammates along the way.

Wanrenzhan didn't care much about everyone else's lives.

He cared about one thing.

The mole.

Inside this maze, the mole's life was equal to their own.

Grinding his teeth, he muttered,

“Mole. Please don't die. Otherwise I won't even be able to die in peace.”

He Yu nodded heavily in agreement.

[Chat: “...Wanrenzhan, just protect the one standing next to you.”]

[Chat: “THE MOLE IS LITERALLY BESIDE YOU.”]

Wanrenzhan knew neither of those things.

After offering his silent prayer, he started walking.

“Let's return to the vine route and continue forward. Maybe we'll find an exit.”

He Yu nodded.

Wanrenzhan took two steps, then stopped.

“Stay behind me.”

“Don't die.”

He Yu obediently replied,

“Oh, okay.”

Wanrenzhan snorted.

Cold and dismissive.

“You're not the mole. I don't have to protect you.”

He Yu blinked.

“I might be.”

Wanrenzhan shot him a look full of contempt.

Clearly, he didn't believe a word.

To him, this was exactly the same as before.

He Yu was just seeking protection.

Lifting his chin proudly, Wanrenzhan declared,

“Trash. Without me, how would you survive in here?”

He Yu smiled faintly.

“But you're here.”

Wanrenzhan:

“...Hmph.”

For some reason, his ears turned red.

He immediately spun around and quickened his pace.

Almost fleeing.

The smile at the corner of He Yu's mouth deepened.

— Wanrenzhan was a teammate he had personally selected.

[Chat: “WANRENZHAN!! THIS IS THE CLOSEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO THE TRUTH. STOP BEING STUPID!”]

[Chat: “...In front of He Yu, if he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't be Wanrenzhan. Ahhh, I want to ship them again. But one's the mole and one isn't. Does one of them have to die this round? My ship is doomed!”]

[Chat: “Wanrenzhan already has 130,000 votes, and tons of people support him. If he's ever in danger, he'll immediately reach 200,000. He Yu can't. He'll definitely get voted out in Round Three. The survivor between them will be Wanrenzhan. This ship is doomed.”]

[Chat: “??? Are you all insane? Shipping Wanrenzhan and He Yu? What kind of cursed ship is that? He Yu has better chemistry with literally anyone else.”]

[Chat: “...You're all crazy. A contestant from a trash planet, and you're shipping him with elite contestants every day. Why would powerhouses ever look at him?”]

...

Neither He Yu nor Wanrenzhan knew about the arguments raging in chat.

The two returned to the route they'd explored before.

The traces of battle had vanished.

The ground was spotless.

Wanrenzhan frowned.

“Did we take the wrong path again?”

His nose twitched.

Then he shook his head.

“No. It's the same route. I recognize the scent of blood. The traces were erased, but the smell hasn't completely disappeared.”

No one understood blood better than he did.

He Yu nodded thoughtfully.

After a moment, Wanrenzhan hardened his resolve.

“We keep going.”

He Yu offered no objection.

Another nod.

Perhaps because he knew he needed Wanrenzhan's “protection,” he seemed unusually obedient.

Having grown accustomed to being tormented by He Yu, Wanrenzhan actually found this behavior uncomfortable.

He kept glancing at him suspiciously.

The two walked deeper into the corridor.

Past the place where the previous battle had occurred.

Silence stretched between them.

A little too much silence.

Wanrenzhan lifted his chin.

“What? Finally realized how amazing I am? Realized you're a usele—”

He Yu suddenly interrupted.

“You were the champion of the previous season?”

Wanrenzhan's chin rose even higher.

Pride practically radiated from him.

“That's right. I was the previous Top Talent.”

He Yu looked at him.

“I heard something went wrong during the previous season. What happened? Was there a problem with the <Top Talent Show> system itself?”

Wanrenzhan's title as champion contained far too much water.

He Yu had once been a top idol himself.

He understood what being a true top star meant.

Massive popularity.

Countless admirers.

Endless worship.

Wanrenzhan clearly didn't possess that level of fame.

By any realistic standard, he shouldn't have reached the title of “Top Talent.”

Wanrenzhan's expression changed instantly.

His voice became dangerous.

“None of your business. Stop listening to rumors.”

He Yu raised an eyebrow.

“Judging by your reaction, they aren't just rumors.”

His gaze deepened.

“You're panicking... Which means you're hiding something.”

He paused.

“Let me guess. Some secret you're not allowed to reveal?”

This was the first time He Yu had openly expressed interest in understanding the competition itself.

After all—

A system capable of “creating gods” represented the highest technology, greatest opportunity, and most advanced achievement in the entire Universe Federation.

Until now, survival had been the priority.

Now he was beginning to investigate the competition itself.

Wanrenzhan:

“...”

He suddenly remembered how He Yu had interrogated the class monitor in the previous instance.

The terrifying deductions.

The way he could determine the truth from the tiniest reactions.

Wanrenzhan inhaled deeply.

Then lowered his head toward He Yu.

His voice dropped into a warning whisper.

“Some things shouldn't be investigated.”

“Even if you survive this competition, if you keep digging into them... you'll die.”

After saying that, he pressed his lips together and walked away.

Clearly refusing to answer.

He Yu watched his back.

His voice turned soft.

Meaningful.

Amused.

“But now I'm even more curious.”

If even Wanrenzhan had been silenced...

Then whatever happened in the previous season was no small matter.

And perhaps...

It was extremely important.

He Yu loved exploring the unknown.

Wanrenzhan definitely knew something.

Sooner or later—

He Yu would know too.

—

At the second fork, they once again chose left.

Another vicious monster blocked the path.

Before He Yu could say anything, Wanrenzhan charged forward with his axe.

He Yu quietly retreated to a safe location.

Wanrenzhan remained as brutal as ever.

“Bang!”

“Clang! Clang!”

“BOOM!”

Swing after swing.

The monster died.

Wanrenzhan retrieved his axe and straightened.

“Let's go.”

He Yu closed his notebook and followed at an unhurried pace.

One intersection.

Two intersections.

Three intersections.

Wanrenzhan had completely lost count of how many monsters he had killed.

Eventually they reached the end.

A dead end.

No path forward.

Wanrenzhan took a deep breath.

Barely suppressing his anger.

“Wrong route. It's a dead end.”

He Yu nodded.

“That's normal. It's a maze. The first route was never likely to be correct.”

Wanrenzhan stared.

“You're still calm?!”

His temper was explosive.

Especially when he was anxious.

People who stayed calm irritated him the most.

He Yu looked up expressionlessly.

“But being anxious doesn't help.”

“AREN'T YOU WORRIED THE MOLE MIGHT DIE?!” Wanrenzhan roared.

If the mole died, they were finished.

He Yu remained completely composed.

“These monsters aren't very strong. The others should be fine.”

Every weak contestant had been paired with a stronger one.

The solo contestants were all powerful.

None of the monsters seemed capable of killing them.

Which meant the mole should still be alive.

And they remained safe.

Wanrenzhan:

“...”

His expression eased somewhat.

But he still growled.

“Aren't you worried Eugene and the others will catch up?!”

He Yu replied calmly,

“But being anxious doesn't help.”

As he spoke, he unconsciously stepped backward.

His expression remained serene.

Wanrenzhan's breathing quickened.

He was about to say something.

“Ah—”

He Yu suddenly cried out.

His body bumped into the wall.

It looked like an ordinary collision.

Yet the wall wriggled twice.

And then—

It swallowed him.

Yes.

Swallowed him.

He Yu's entire body merged into the wall and vanished.

Wanrenzhan's expression changed dramatically.

He lunged forward.

“He Yu!”

But the wall didn't swallow him.

It remained soft and ordinary.

Wanrenzhan's face darkened.

He gritted his teeth.

“You. Bastard.”

Then he raised his axe and hacked furiously at the wall.

His expression became savage.

His attacks increasingly violent.

The chat exploded.

“He Yu?!”

“WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!”

“Did the mole die?!”

“Then that team is finished!”

“Quick! Switch to He Yu's stream!”

“Holy shit, that scared me—WAIT! GO LOOK AT HE YU'S STREAM!”

...

Back on Blue Star.

Wei Jiaguo jumped to his feet.

His heart nearly stopped.

Ye Kaijun hurriedly reassured him.

“He Yu isn't dead. If he died, the stream would disappear. His stream still exists—it's just blurred.”

Despite saying that, he remained worried.

Finally the image cleared.

He Yu's face reappeared.

Wei Jiaguo released a long breath and sat down.

“He Yu really is lucky—”

Then his expression changed.

“Wait! What is He Yu trying to do?!”

—

Zhante and Ling Buchen's team.

Zhante grabbed his hair in frustration.

“AHHHH! What the hell is happening?! Why are we lost? Why can't we get back to the hall?!”

Ling Buchen stared blankly at the fork ahead.

Zhante raged.

“What if the mole dies?! Then we're screwed!”

He looked at Ling Buchen hopefully.

“Are you the mole? Tell me you're my mole. I promise I won't tell anyone.”

Ling Buchen finally turned to look at him.

His eyes clearly said:

Do I look stupid?

Zhante sighed heavily.

“Then tell me what we're supposed to do. We're lost. How do we meet up with everyone? How do we get out?”

Ling Buchen hesitated.

“Maybe... wander around?”

Zhante froze.

Then something struck him.

His eyes lit up.

He stared intensely at Ling Buchen.

Ling Buchen immediately took two steps back.

“I only like He Yu's type.”

Zhante:

“???”

He glared.

“I'M SAYING YOUR LUCK IS GOOD!”

“You lead!”

Fuck.

He liked women with curves.

Not men.

Ling Buchen really had a talent for weird assumptions.

Relieved, Ling Buchen thought for a moment.

“My luck doesn't guarantee we'll get out...”

Zhante didn't care.

His faith in Ling Buchen's luck was absolute now.

“You lead.”

Ling Buchen reluctantly walked in front.

Zhante followed behind while protecting him.

—

Elsewhere.

Earlie was slaughtering monsters.

He had no idea how to escape either.

All he could do was keep moving forward.

After smashing a monster to death, he spat.

“Damn it. None of these monsters drop equipment. Killing them is pointless.”

He continued onward.

As he walked, he cursed.

“If those two trash-planet losers dare die, I'll haunt them even after death.”

His luck was terrible.

He'd ended up on a team with two weaklings.

Now everyone was separated.

If Wanrenzhan and Zhante failed to protect those two...

And one of them happened to be the mole...

Then everyone would die together.

Worthless burdens.

Trash from a trash planet.

They never should have entered this competition.

Earlie continued cursing as he marched deeper into the maze.

—

Meanwhile.

Duan Yuchen leaned against his weapon and exhaled deeply.

“At least the monsters aren't strong. Everyone else should be okay.”

Harvey was also breathing heavily.

“But this split-up situation is annoying. Who suggested it again?”

Wanrenzhan had suggested it.

Yet for some reason, Duan Yuchen found himself suspecting He Yu.

It was instinct.

His brows furrowed.

“Do you think... He Yu could somehow kill Wanrenzhan?”

Harvey immediately shook his head.

“Impossible.”

“He Yu only has eight combat power. There's no way he kills Wanrenzhan. The reverse is far more likely.”

Duan Yuchen frowned.

“But if Wanrenzhan kills He Yu, then he's definitely the mole.”

After thinking it over, he shook his head.

“No. That's not right. If Wanrenzhan kills He Yu, then everyone will immediately identify him as the mole. Unless he can kill all of us, there's no reason to target He Yu.”

Besides—

Everyone already intended to vote He Yu out this round.

Why waste effort killing someone already doomed?

Harvey nodded.

“Probably just a coincidence. No one noticed anything strange the first time we entered. Who could've known the maze would change after we split up?”

A thought flashed through Duan Yuchen's mind.

Gone before he could catch it.

Eventually he shook his head.

“Forget it. Let's keep moving. We'll search for an exit and see if we run into anyone else.”

“Smart devices don't work, but Siya, Earlie, and I have another communication method. If we get close enough, we'll sense each other. Right now I can't sense anyone.”

The two continued onward.

—

Qiong reached the end of a corridor.

She spread her hands helplessly.

“A dead end. Looks like I'll have to keep searching.”

Turning around, she returned to the nearest fork and selected another route.

She had only just started walking when—

Knock knock.

A sound came from the wall.

Qiong raised an eyebrow.

Approaching, she seemed to sense something.

She knocked back.

“Qiao Yuan?”

“Qiong?”

A voice came from the other side of the wall.

Qiao Yuan's voice.

Qiong immediately rushed over.

Using her equipment, she hammered at the wall repeatedly.

But the wall was soft.

Impossible to break.

Any mark vanished immediately.

The wall restored itself every time.

Qiong became increasingly irritated.

“What is this thing?!”

As she examined it more closely—

The wall suddenly pulled her in.

The world spun.

Then she was spat back out.

Onto another path.

Immediately afterward, she heard Qiao Yuan's delighted voice.

“Qiong! It really is you?! I've been searching forever and couldn't find an exit. How did you suddenly come out of the wall?!”

—

Siya was fighting a monster.

As a celebrity accustomed to living under spotlights, she hated darkness.

The endless maze and inability to find a path forward had made her increasingly irritable.

“What is this damn—”

Her voice abruptly stopped.

Her eyes locked forward.

A figure was slowly walking toward her.

—

“Fuck your ancestors! Give him back!”

“What kind of bullshit wall is this?! Why won't it break?!”

“He Yu!”

“He Yu!”

...

Wanrenzhan roared while continuing to hack at the wall.

Again.

And again.

His eyes were bloodshot.

His attacks grew increasingly savage.

His muscles screamed from exhaustion.

He no longer knew how long he had been striking the wall.

Only that he kept swinging.

Again and again.

Was He Yu dead?

— If he wasn't the mole, nobody would notify them of his death.

Only advancement produced announcements.

And that eight-combat-power contestant from a trash planet definitely didn't have 200,000 votes.

The thought made him attack even harder.

His arms bulged.

His eyes burned crimson.

Every strike carried his full strength.

Word by word, he forced the sentence through clenched teeth.

“He... Yu...”

“You... can... only... die... by... my... hands...”

With a furious roar, he brought his axe down.

BOOM—

Something landed.

He Yu was spat back out.

He looked confused.

Wanrenzhan let out a long breath.

Then immediately exploded.

“WHERE DID YOU GO?!”

He Yu looked exhausted.

He tried to use the wall for support while standing.

Wanrenzhan grabbed him by the collar.

“Idiot! Are you insane?! You actually dared touch the wall?!”

He Yu stood upright and slapped his hand away.

Then calmly explained,

“You can pass through the walls.”

“They lead to different routes.”

Wanrenzhan froze.

Just as he was about to ask more—

A system announcement rang clearly in everyone's mind.

【Congratulations to Siya on advancing. Remaining slots: 9999/10000】

Wanrenzhan's eyes widened.

Everyone was still trapped inside the third-stage maze.

There were still three stages remaining afterward.

For Siya to advance now—

There was only one explanation.

She had been forced to use her accumulated votes.
