This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Louis had driven over in a small flying car. One vehicle could seat four people. After He Yu and Zhen Xing got in, Eugene followed into the back row, leaving only one seat remaining.

“Young Master He...” Louis smiled and was just about to get in.

A thick arm blocked his way. The overbearing muscles were hard as steel, directly preventing him from entering.

Louis froze and turned his head.

Wanrenzhan said expressionlessly, “I'm the bodyguard. I have to stay with the young master.”

Louis: “...”

He silently stepped aside.

With one long stride, Wanrenzhan entered and occupied the last seat with complete peace of mind, leaving Louis outside.

—Truly the young master of a great family. Even his subordinates are this domineering.

Louis's feelings were complicated, but he still smiled.

“Young Master He, the flying car will take you to my residence. I'll ride in the car behind and follow you.”

He Yu nodded.

Zhen Xing shut the door, and the vehicle immediately took off.

The Federation's unmanned driving technology was incredibly mature. Flying cars had existed for a thousand years. They were stable, fast, and safe. Automatic driving accidents were almost unheard of. It really was technology Blue Star needed to learn from.

He Yu tapped his fingers lightly on his knee.

“Eugene, block all surveillance cameras inside the car.”

There had to be cameras inside. No matter how tiny or invisible they were, they definitely existed.

The owner could turn them off directly. Non-owners... needed other methods.

Eugene: “???”

His eyes widened, clearly conveying—

You're actually using me as a signal jammer now?!

His mechanical body leaned forward, and his head poked into the gap between the seats as he stared at He Yu in disbelief.

He Yu tilted his head. His side profile looked completely innocent.

“The capable should work harder. Besides, we don't have a jammer right now. Do you want our discussion to be overheard?”

Zhen Xing nodded.

Wanrenzhan nodded as well.

They both agreed.

Eugene: “...”

Fuck.

Grinding his teeth in irritation, he eventually removed his own head.

—Using himself like a machine was becoming increasingly natural.

“Done. They're blocked.”

After fiddling around for a while, Eugene hugged his head in his arms. His mechanical voice carried no emotion, though he was obviously still angry.

Unfortunately, the other three weren't the type to comfort anyone.

Wanrenzhan stared at Zhen Xing in the front seat.

“Why are you here? And how did you know you were the butler?”

Zhen Xing looked back calmly.

“I didn't know.”

Wanrenzhan: “?”

Holding his own head with both hands, Eugene's mouth opened and closed.

“He really didn't know. When he showed up, he only called him Young Master. We were the ones who introduced the butler identity.”

After that, Zhen Xing had simply gone with the flow and solidified his role as “butler.”

Wanrenzhan asked again, “Then how did you know about He Yu? How did you find us?”

Zhen Xing replied, “Thanks to Lin. He was asking around everywhere. I noticed him and followed him here. Besides...”

He looked at He Yu.

“Young Master He's name has spread throughout the entire town. The extravagant rich young master.”

He Yu wasn't embarrassed in the slightest. His expression remained calm.

Zhen Xing looked at him and was momentarily distracted.

Playing with his silver hair, Eugene fixed his eyes on Zhen Xing.

“Then why did you come join us? This instance allows killing.”

He had been the first to find He Yu.

His original purpose had been to kill him.

Of course, after failing, he ended up cooperating with He Yu. There was no need to mention Wanrenzhan, that simple-minded idiot. But now that Zhen Xing knew Eugene and He Yu had made peace, why did he still dare come?

—Wasn't he afraid they would join forces and kill him?

Zhen Xing had already noticed that He Yu's countdown was about the same as his own, the highest among the four.

Eugene: 76.

Wanrenzhan: 85.

So why did they dare cooperate with He Yu?

Weren't they afraid He Yu's countdown would hit zero during the process?

And weren't the two of them originally planning to kill He Yu?

Why had they both ended up cooperating instead?

Zhen Xing didn't want to eliminate He Yu. He was simply curious.

—What had He Yu done this time?

“Hey, what are you thinking about?” Eugene knocked on him.

At the same time, his gaze subtly swept over Zhen Xing's head, and deep in his eyes was hidden jealousy.

—Fuck, his countdown is so much longer than mine. I refuse to accept it!

Zhen Xing snapped back to reality and became serious.

“Because I don't think I can clear this instance alone. Since you've already formed an alliance and made such a huge commotion, you've clearly encountered difficulties too. Mind if I join?”

Eugene and Wanrenzhan remained silent.

He Yu spread his hands.

“Not at all. I've never cared how many people leave an instance alive. As long as nobody dies inside, everyone advancing together is fine.”

Wanrenzhan: “...”

Expressionless, he said:

“You screwed all of us over last round.”

His face darkened just thinking about it.

He Yu blinked innocently.

“Couldn't be helped. I had to survive. Who told you all to end up on the same team as me when I drew the undercover role? Look, didn't Zhen Xing and Eugene get out safely?”

Wanrenzhan: “...”

Eugene raised a mechanical hand to stop him.

“Enough. Leave the past in the past. We're allies now, so let's share information.”

Hearing that, He Yu stared directly at Zhen Xing.

“How are you so certain one person can't clear it? What clues did you find?”

The other two also looked over.

Zhen Xing sighed helplessly.

“Fine, I'll tell you.”

His expression became serious.

“Do you know the legend of Ghost Town?”

The three shook their heads.

Taking a deep breath, Zhen Xing said:

“It's a very secret legend. I obtained it through a side quest. An old man said few people remember it anymore. Ghost Town has existed for many years. Back then, it was poor. The twenty thousand residents lived miserable lives. Then, three hundred years ago, ghosts suddenly began appearing in large numbers. The town became more prosperous and lively...”

Eugene nodded.

“I know that. One of our side quests mentioned it. Twenty thousand permanent residents. Large-scale ghost appearances began three hundred years ago.”

He Yu suddenly frowned.

“Three hundred years ago, Ghost Town already had twenty thousand residents?”

Everyone's eyes widened.

A chill ran down their spines.

It was an easy point to overlook.

Three hundred years ago there were twenty thousand residents.

Three hundred years later there were still twenty thousand residents.

At first glance, it seemed normal.

But that sameness itself was the problem.

Three hundred years ago the town was poor and miserable.

Three hundred years later it was prosperous and thriving.

Yet the population had remained exactly the same?

—The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Zhen Xing frowned deeply and continued.

“Three hundred years ago, many ghosts suddenly appeared. Louis took over Ghost Town. He had vision and immediately transformed it into a tourist attraction themed around ghosts. The town prospered because of that. Its unique ghosts made it famous.”

“You've probably all noticed these ghosts aren't merely black shadows. They can take many forms, especially...”

“Human forms.”

The three nodded.

He Yu and Wanrenzhan had already seen this, and Eugene had seen it at Louis's mansion.

Zhen Xing continued.

“Do you know about the first humanoid ghost?”

Without waiting for an answer, he said:

“The first humanoid ghost appeared three hundred years ago. Legend says there was a boy in the poor and backward Ghost Town named Li.”

“Li was an orphan. Nobody knew how he appeared in town. Without parents to protect him, he suffered constant bullying and often went hungry.”

“He endured it until adulthood. Everyone thought he was weak and easy to bully. But nobody knew he possessed an extraordinary combat talent. Once he reached adulthood, it manifested. He was one of the rare people whose combat power continuously increased over time, and the growth was extremely fast.”

Wanrenzhan's eyes widened.

“He was special like my idol?”

He Yu looked confused.

“Explain.”

Eugene answered:

“He means Li Zhan, the first god created by <Top Talent Show>. He had that same rare ability. His combat power constantly increased over time, as though he were continuously drinking potions.”

He Yu asked,

“Don't all of you increase?”

Wanrenzhan shook his head.

“We need training, and there's an upper limit. Around two hundred is basically the limit. Even with rare potions, you only gain a little more.”

“But Li Zhan's combat power naturally increased even while lying down doing nothing. There didn't seem to be a limit. He was extremely unique.”

Eugene clicked his tongue.

“This instance definitely referenced God Zhan when it was designed.”

He Yu stroked his chin and nodded.

“Continue.”

Zhen Xing continued.

“Li's combat power rose rapidly. He was gifted and attracted enormous jealousy in a town where the highest combat power was only B-rank.”

“The mayor at that time had a child with terrible talent. They'd never surpass C-rank. So the mayor and the townspeople discussed taking Li's talent and transferring it to their children.”

“If their children became talented, everyone would benefit. But if Li became too powerful, he'd surely take revenge.”

Eugene hurriedly asked,

“What did they do?”

Zhen Xing took a deep breath.

“They sliced Li alive into pieces...”

“And ate him.”

Eugene and Wanrenzhan inhaled sharply.

For the first time, they felt deeply uncomfortable with Ghost Town.

Even though most of the current residents weren't the same people, it still left them sickened.

He Yu remained expressionless.

Only his eyes darkened slightly.

“So the first humanoid ghost... was Li?”

Zhen Xing nodded.

“Yes. After eating him, nobody inherited his talent. Everyone was disappointed, but since nobody would take revenge on them, they accepted it and moved on.”

“But they never expected ghosts to begin appearing.”

“And the first ghost looked exactly like Li.”

“Li had returned for revenge.”

Wanrenzhan immediately asked,

“Did he succeed?”

Zhen Xing shook his head.

“He slaughtered the mayor's entire family, but before he could attack anyone else, an SS-rank expert passing by named Kan killed him.”

“But after Li died, Ghost Town began producing ghosts endlessly, as though the very magnetic field had changed. Strange ghosts appeared one after another. Combined with the new mayor Louis, Ghost Town gradually became prosperous.”

Wanrenzhan sneered.

“They ate a person, and the town became wealthy because of it. How ironic.”

Eugene's mechanical face remained expressionless.

“So the ghosts are connected to events three hundred years ago. New Mayor Louis might know something. You wanted to contact him without alerting him?”

Zhen Xing nodded.

He Yu adjusted his glasses.

“You're worried about that SS-rank expert.”

Wanrenzhan frowned.

“How did this suddenly become about the SS-rank expert?”

He still remembered the story. Kan had only been passing by.

That happened three hundred years ago.

Why pay attention to it now?

He Yu looked at him.

“Wanrenzhan, do you believe in coincidences?”

“Such a poor, isolated town. Almost nobody visited it. Yet just when Li started causing trouble, an SS-rank expert happened to pass by?”

“Heh.”

Wanrenzhan raised his chin.

“Maybe Li was just unlucky?”

Eugene fell silent.

He didn't even want to comment.

He Yu and Zhen Xing exchanged a glance.

Both saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

—The reason Zhen Xing sought cooperation was precisely because of that SS-rank expert, Kan.

Three hundred years ago he had already been SS-rank.

What kind of terrifying existence would he be now?

If such a person really existed, and if he was connected to the greatest secret they sought...

Then no individual could deal with him alone.

They had to cooperate.

He Yu looked at Eugene.

“What did you learn at Louis's place today?”

Eugene answered:

“Louis is clever. He chatted with me all day without revealing anything unusual. I found nothing in his residence. It's old and seems inherited from the previous mayor. Only minor repairs have been made.”

Zhen Xing nodded.

“Then we need further contact. Time is limited. If we learn nothing from this dinner, we'll have to change strategies.”

Roleplaying was fine.

But they couldn't lose themselves in their roles.

He Yu agreed.

His gaze rested on the scenery outside.

The lights reflected across half his face, leaving the other half in shadow.

His eyes flickered slightly.

—Interesting.

【Bullet Comment: “He Yu definitely figured something out again!!”】

【Bullet Comment: “But he won't say it. Unless he's at least eighty percent certain, he never opens his mouth.”】

Only the audience could see the look in his eyes.

They scratched their heads desperately.

But none of them could figure anything out.

—

The flying car was fast.

By the °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° time their discussion ended, they had already arrived outside the Mayor's Mansion.

The conversation over, the jammer was no longer needed.

Eugene reattached his head and muttered darkly,

“You all just love using me. Without me, I'd like to see what you'd do.”

He Yu reached over and adjusted his head for him.

Smiling, he said:

“But we have you.”

Before Eugene could speak, He Yu added:

“All right. Fix your expression. Clearing the instance comes first.”

Eugene moved his neck a few times.

“Fine. Instance first.”

Zhen Xing got out and opened the door.

Immediately, He Yu's expression changed.

His chin lifted proudly.

His eyes looked down on everything.

He stepped out of the flying car.

“Young Master He, this way!”

Louis had already arrived and hurriedly invited them inside.

Just as Eugene had said, the Mayor's Mansion was plain.

In prosperous Ghost Town, it wasn't eye-catching at all.

It lacked grandeur and luxury.

But Louis didn't seem bothered.

He appeared not to value such things.

He led the four into the dining hall.

Federation dining customs resembled those of ancient Blue Star.

Everyone had their own small table, allowing them to eat, chat, and enjoy performances at the same time.

He Yu and Louis sat at the head.

The other three sat below on both sides.

Clap! Clap!

Louis clapped his hands.

Servants immediately brought in dish after dish and placed them before everyone.

Knives, forks, towels, and every utensil were neatly prepared.

Smiling, Louis said:

“I don't have anything particularly valuable. These are merely local specialties. I invited one of Ghost Town's famous chefs to prepare them. I hope our guests will enjoy them.”

As his words fell, the attendants lifted the lids.

Wanrenzhan had long been starving and had already picked up his knife and fork.

But when the lids opened, he froze.

He Yu also paused and pursed his lips.

—Ghost Town's specialty cuisine...

—Was ghost meat.

—Cooked.

—Tender young ghosts.
