This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Wanrenzhan sucked in a sharp breath, his face full of disbelief.

“Siya had enough votes, so she chose to leave?” He Yu murmured, frowning slightly as he thought.

“Impossible!” Wanrenzhan immediately retorted, his voice firm. “I know Siya at least a little. That woman is ruthless. Unless she was truly cornered with no way out, she would never use her support votes!”

Two hundred thousand support votes.

How precious was that?

The later stages of the competition only became more brutal. Anyone who had watched the previous dozens of seasons knew one thing—

Contestants who failed to save votes for the later rounds usually never made it to the semifinals.

Even the strongest could fail.

When there were a hundred thousand contestants left, your chances of advancing were still fairly high.

But what about when the field narrowed to a thousand? A hundred?

At that point, everyone left was powerful. Everyone left was dangerous.

Who would dare spend all their votes?

Siya was a ruthless fighter. If she could force her way through a situation, she would never choose to use support votes.

Which meant—

She had run into trouble.

The kind of trouble that would kill her if she stayed.

Wanrenzhan frowned.

“Are there monsters inside these tunnels that even Siya couldn't deal with?”

He Yu shook his head.

“At least, we haven't encountered anything like that. The focus of the name Maze Chaos seems to be the maze itself rather than overwhelmingly difficult battles.”

It was obvious.

The true theme of this round was—

Contestants killing one another.

The deeper they progressed, the more apparent it became.

“So,” He Yu continued, “while it's possible she encountered an even more terrifying monster, the more likely explanation is—”

“An infiltrator!” Wanrenzhan finished immediately.

His voice was certain and vicious.

“Siya definitely ran into the infiltrator!”

Teammates couldn't attack one another.

The only person capable of doing so was the infiltrator.

The conclusion was obvious.

Siya had encountered the infiltrator.

And the infiltrator had attacked her.

He Yu nodded.

“Yes. That's what I think too.”

“Then who is it?” Wanrenzhan muttered. “It can't be any of the two-person teams. That only leaves Earlie, Qiong, and Qiao Yuan. No... if some pairs got separated, it's still possible. Teammates can verify each other, but that doesn't necessarily clear them.”

“Earlie, Qiong, Qiao Yuan, Duan Yuchen, Harvey, Zhante...”

“Ling Buchen can be excluded.”

“The culprit is among those six!”

Without hesitation, he automatically excluded He Yu.

Partly because He Yu hadn't disappeared for very long.

And partly because—

In Wanrenzhan's mind, someone with a combat power of eight couldn't possibly threaten Siya.

He Yu pushed up his glasses.

“The infiltrator has already made a move. As long as we gather everyone together, we can narrow down the suspects. That will be very useful for the upcoming vote.”

Wanrenzhan suddenly looked at him, then at the wall.

“So this wall really can be passed through?”

His attention immediately shifted away from Siya.

Siya had already advanced.

Unless they advanced as well and reached the transfer station, there was no way to meet her, much less learn who had attacked her.

He Yu nodded.

“Yes. I accidentally entered another tunnel earlier. I didn't dare wander too far and spent quite a while experimenting before finding my way back.”

“How do you go through the wall?”

He Yu didn't hide anything.

“Press most of your body against it.”

Wanrenzhan gritted his teeth.

“I spent all that time hacking at it, and all I had to do was lean on it?”

He grabbed He Yu by the collar and lifted him up.

“Guide the way. We're going through walls until we find people or an exit. I refuse to believe we won't run into anyone!”

As long as they didn't have the misfortune of encountering the infiltrator first, gathering everyone together might even allow them to identify the infiltrator.

And if they couldn't find teammates, finding the exit was still good enough.

Carrying He Yu, Wanrenzhan pressed himself against the wall.

The wall swallowed them.

Moments later, it spat them out into another corridor.

—

Passing through walls.

Searching for people.

Passing through walls.

Searching for people.

...

They repeated the process over and over.

And found absolutely nothing.

Eventually Wanrenzhan grew tired. He set He Yu down and panted heavily.

“What kind of directions are you giving me? We haven't met a single person!!”

He Yu spread his hands.

“You picked the routes yourself later on. Didn't find anyone then either.”

Wanrenzhan choked.

He Yu glanced at him indifferently.

His cool, expressionless face showed no emotion as he straightened the clothes that had been wrinkled by Wanrenzhan dragging him around.

“This is a maze. Did you think finding people would be easy?”

In a maze, finding people was just as difficult as finding the exit.

Wanrenzhan was in a bad mood.

Looking at He Yu, he suddenly realized that he had wrinkled all of He Yu's clothes, yet the other man hadn't gotten angry at all...

Wanrenzhan raised an eyebrow.

His mood instantly brightened.

“What? Realized you need my protection now?”

“Beg me.”

“I might be willing to protect you a little more in the future.”

He Yu: “...”

He turned and looked at him.

The look in his eyes was extremely complicated.

The livestream comments exploded—

“I'm dying. Wanrenzhan, what is wrong with you?!”

“I never knew Wanrenzhan's emotional intelligence could be this inspirational.”

“Do you know why He's tolerating you so much? Because he's already plotting against you, you absolute idiot.”

“Seriously, Wanrenzhan has gone from ‘beg me and I'll give He Yu a quick death,’ to ‘beg me and I'll spare him,’ to ‘beg me and I'll protect him.’ His standards keep dropping lower and lower.”

...

The audience was completely speechless.

Especially Wanrenzhan's own fans.

But the man himself remained blissfully unaware.

In fact, he looked quite pleased with himself as he waited confidently for He Yu's answer.

He Yu started walking forward.

“...Let's keep moving.”

It was better not to argue with idiots.

“Hey! You still haven't answered me. Are you going to beg me or not?”

He Yu: “...”

“If you don't beg me, I'm not taking care of you. You're not the infiltrator anyway.”

He Yu: “...”

...

Accompanied by Wanrenzhan's endless self-monologue, the two continued onward.

Throughout it all, He Yu remained expressionless.

He allowed Wanrenzhan to ramble beside him while holding a flashlight generated by his smart device.

The beam illuminated the path ahead.

Even in the darkness, as long as there was light—

As long as the audience could see him—

He maintained the perfect angle of his profile.

The only problem was the idiot beside him was incredibly annoying.

After walking a little farther, He Yu suddenly stopped.

Wanrenzhan said,

“What? Have you finally decided to beg m—”

“Someone's here.”

Wanrenzhan's attention shifted instantly.

“Where?”

He immediately turned around.

His ears perked up, his expression becoming cautious.

Whoever was approaching was a teammate.

But they could also be the infiltrator.

Siya's combat strength wasn't much weaker than his own.

Even Wanrenzhan couldn't guarantee victory against the infiltrator.

If it was Earlie or Zhante...

Even surviving might be difficult.

His hearing was far better than He Yu's.

The moment he focused, he quickly caught the sounds ahead.

“Someone's up there!”

He grabbed He Yu and shoved him behind himself.

Holding his axe, he stared ahead with vigilant eyes.

Soon, the voices became clearer.

People were talking.

“You're sure this way leads out?”

“No.”

“Ling Buchen! Then why are we going this way?”

“My intuition. My intuition told me to come this way.”

“Fine. I trust you. If your intuition says so, maybe this really is the exit. You're usually right.”

...

Wanrenzhan finally let out a long breath.

Together with He Yu, he stepped forward.

Teammates.

Not the infiltrator.

The conversation between the other two abruptly stopped when they spotted Wanrenzhan and He Yu standing ahead.

Ling Buchen's eyes lit up.

“He Yu!”

He hurried forward.

He Yu smiled at him.

Reaching He Yu's side, Ling Buchen's eyes shone.

“My intuition didn't lie to me after all. I actually found you.”

Zhante: “...”

He stared in disbelief.

“Ling Buchen?! So your intuition wasn't leading us to the exit at all?”

“It was leading us to He Yu?!”

He had been wrong.

He never should have trusted Ling Buchen from the start.

This guy never helped anyone.

He only dragged people into trouble.

Still...

This time wasn't entirely bad.

After all, they had found teammates.

And teammates were always welcome.

Just as Wanrenzhan trusted Zhante, Zhante trusted Wanrenzhan.

The two groups met up.

Zhante asked,

“You two never separated, right? Ling Buchen and I have been together the entire time.”

Which meant neither of them could be the infiltrator.

Wanrenzhan immediately shook his head.

“He Yu and I never separated either.”

The brief period when He Yu had gone off to test the walls didn't count.

At least not in Wanrenzhan's mind.

After all, if he mentioned it, Zhante would probably end up suspecting him rather than the weakling He Yu.

[Comment Stream: "...I'm speechless."]

[Comment Stream: "I finally understand why He Yu chose Wanrenzhan. If not him, then who?"]

[Comment Stream: "Wanrenzhan! You're going to regret this!!"]

Zhante nodded.

“Good. Then none of us are the infiltrator. The infiltrator must be among the remaining people.”

He looked at them.

“Have you discovered anything else?”

After a pause, he explained first.

“Ling Buchen and I have been walking nonstop. I trusted his intuition, so I followed him the entire time. We killed some monsters but never encountered anyone.”

What he absolutely hadn't expected was that Ling Buchen's intuition wasn't guiding them toward an exit.

It was guiding them toward He Yu.

Wanrenzhan shook his head.

“It's good that we've gathered together. Whoever forced Siya to leave must be very strong, or possess some kind of assassination method. More people means greater safety.”

His expression darkened.

“We haven't found the exit either. The only people we've encountered are you two. We did discover a way to pass through walls, though. We went through a ton of them and still only found you.”

And technically, Zhante's group had found them first.

Wanrenzhan's frustration was understandable.

Time was constantly ticking away.

If they couldn't clear the third stage soon, Eugene, Zhen Xing, and the others would eventually catch up.

If that happened—

They would be in serious danger.

This maze didn't allow them the luxury of taking their time.

Unfortunately, they had absolutely no clues about the exit.

Zhante's eyes lit up as he was about to ask how to pass through walls.

At that moment, He Yu suddenly spoke.

“Actually, it's not true that we haven't discovered anything.”

“I have a theory.”

“About an eighty percent chance of being correct.”

Eighty percent again!

Wanrenzhan whipped around.

His eyes widened.

“What did you discover?”

This bastard had been analyzing things behind his back again and hadn't told him!

Damn it.

If he was already eighty percent certain, that meant he'd been thinking about it for a long time!

Ling Buchen and Zhante also turned toward He Yu, curiosity written all over their faces.

“What did you figure out?”

He Yu raised a hand and adjusted the rimless glasses on his nose.

Four smart-device flashlights illuminated the corridor, bathing the area in bright light.

His exquisite features became crystal clear.

Reflections flashed across the lenses, giving off a cold gleam.

The effect only made him appear even more distant and composed, while the eyes behind the glasses remained deep and striking.

His voice wasn't loud.

Yet within the tunnel, every word echoed clearly.

“The routes change whenever we retrace our steps. The monsters remain the same. Even the spiderwebs spun by the spiders haven't changed.”

“That means the paths changed.”

“Not the monsters.”

“The tunnels move.”

“They are soft.”

“And they can be passed through.”

He paused.

Then slowly asked—

“So isn't it possible...”

“That this maze itself is actually a living creature?”
