This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

He Yu’s expression darkened.

Why call them tender young ghosts?

Because the ghosts on the plates were clearly shaped like cubs!

He Yu didn’t know what kind of cubs they were. They were somewhere between human and beast. Their bodies resembled infants, with human faces, yet they had tails and a pair of horns. White and tender...

It killed every trace of appetite.

He did not reach for the utensils. He merely looked at Louis expressionlessly.

Wanrenzhan put down his chopsticks, leaned back, and said angrily, “What the hell is this? Why does it look like a baby?!”

Hearing this, Louis hurriedly said, “Please don’t misunderstand. This isn’t a baby. It’s Ghost Town’s specialty cuisine, an extremely rare ghost cub. It’s edible.”

As he spoke, he gently cut into his own portion with a knife.

The ghost on the plate was already cooked, so it split open with one light cut. The inside was the same as the outside, white all the way through. It truly did not look like a corpse, or even like meat.

Louis took a bite, his face full of enjoyment.

“It really is delicious. Ghost cubs are even rarer than humanoid ghosts, and the price is higher too. If distinguished guests hadn’t arrived, we usually wouldn’t bring them out for hospitality.”

However, even after he explained, the four of them still didn’t touch their chopsticks.

Whatever this thing was, its appearance alone made it impossible to feel any appetite. On top of that, they were inside an instance. Not everything could be eaten casually.

Zhen Xing pressed his lips together and looked at Louis expressionlessly.

“Mr. Louis, how are ghost cubs like these produced?”

Louis immediately explained, “Ghost cubs are newly born ghosts. They are naturally born, and then quickly absorb nourishment from other ghosts as well as devour humans to grow bigger and stronger.”

He pointed at the thing on the plate.

“To obtain this kind of edible ghost cub, it must be a ghost capable of transforming into a human form, and it must be captured right after it is born, while it is in the process of becoming human.”

Newly born ghost cubs that had not absorbed nourishment from other ghosts were extremely rare. On top of that, they had to be capable of transforming into humans. It was difficult upon difficult, so they were incredibly precious.

“Young Master He, are you truly not going to try it? It really is delicious. A delicacy you’ve never eaten before. No other food can compare,” Louis continued saying beside them.

Wanrenzhan looked at Louis’s expression and thought, Is it really that good?

He picked up his knife and fork again and tried to cut into it.

—Should he try it?

Suddenly, he felt a gaze fixed tightly on him. He instinctively raised his head and met He Yu’s icy eyes.

That gaze was cold to the extreme. So cold that Wanrenzhan subconsciously put down his knife and fork, sat upright, and froze.

—Fuck, He Yu is poisonous!

But after that interruption, Wanrenzhan stopped moving.

Only then did He Yu look at Louis.

“Sorry. I’m not used to eating this sort of thing.”

He was a “young master from a great family.” If he didn’t want to eat it, then he didn’t want to eat it. He said it directly and cleanly.

Louis froze, then helplessly put down his knife and fork.

“All right. If Young Master He doesn’t like it, then forget it. You are an honored guest. As long as you’re happy.”

He raised a hand and clapped.

The attendants immediately stepped forward, removed the “ghost cubs,” and brought up other foods. Meat, vegetables, fruits—everything was available.

Louis introduced them, “This meat is from a driving beast that has devoured many ghosts. These vegetables are unique to Ghost Town. These fruits are also local specialties. They grow in places with many ghosts, so their taste is very different from vegetables and fruits outside. They’re another specialty.”

He Yu nodded, swept his gaze over the beast meat, picked up his chopsticks, and began eating the vegetables and fruits.

After slowly chewing and swallowing, he nodded.

“Not bad.”

Only then did Zhen Xing and the other two pick up their chopsticks one after another. Though Zhen Xing and Eugene weren’t very eager to eat, in this situation, if they wanted to cooperate with the investigation, they could only play their roles properly.

Louis let out a long breath.

—He had finally satisfied this great young master.

He smiled and stretched out his hand.

“Young Master He, what performance would you like to watch?”

After he finished speaking, a clickable interface appeared in front of He Yu. It showed all kinds of ghost performances: ghosts fighting, ghosts dancing, ghosts fighting humans...

He Yu selected ghosts fighting ghosts.

Soon, someone carried out two large black boxes. After the black cloth covering them was lifted, two pitch-black ghosts floated out. They huddled together, looking extremely afraid.

The middle-aged man who had followed them out took out a strange piece of equipment and sprayed both ghosts with it.

The two black shadows that had originally shrunk together in fear suddenly seemed to riot. Black ink surged and churned as they rushed at each other, biting fiercely, becoming extremely vicious.

He Yu watched seriously while eating.

Louis’s gaze also turned toward the fighting ghosts in the arena. He ate while watching, occasionally explaining a few things to He Yu. The atmosphere was harmonious.

Meanwhile, while no one was paying attention, Eugene leaned toward Zhen Xing and whispered, “Hey, I’ve already tricked He Yu’s countdown down a little. Should we cooperate in this instance and scheme against He Yu once?”

Zhen Xing looked at him strangely.

Eugene lowered his voice and said exaggeratedly, “Hey, hey, hey, don’t you want revenge? Even that fool Wanrenzhan wants to scheme against He Yu for revenge. In this instance, if we work together, we can scheme He Yu’s countdown away!”

As though imagining that scene, he smiled obscenely.

Zhen Xing: “...Are you sure you can scheme against He Yu?”

Eugene was excited.

“I can’t, but if we work together, we can. He Yu definitely won’t know we’ve joined forces. We can see the number above his head, and we can—huh?”

His words suddenly changed direction. He glared at the number above He Yu’s head.

“What’s going on? Why did his countdown suddenly drop by five points?”

Zhen Xing looked over and also froze.

Then they both looked at each other.

—Sure enough, both had dropped by five points.

Eugene sucked in a cold breath.

“There’s something wrong with this meal.”

Time had decreased again. That meant the difficulty of their instance had increased once more. And right now, they still had no useful clues. They had no idea what Ghost Town’s greatest secret was!

Zhen Xing nodded and slowly put down his chopsticks.

A moment later, he said, “I’ll agree to your plan, but we have to leave He Yu enough time to get out.”

—Trick He Yu once?

—Just thinking about it was exciting.

Even Zhen Xing, who had always been self-controlled, very much wanted to trick He Yu once. After all, they had walked through far too many of his traps.

Zhen Xing did not think He Yu would lack votes. In the previous two instances, he had not used any votes. This instance had fewer people, so the audience’s votes would be more concentrated. He Yu’s performance was also stunning. There was no way they wouldn’t vote for him.

It was just...

Could they really scheme against He Yu?

Zhen Xing was extremely doubtful.

The bullet comments exploded—

“You can’t scheme against him anymore!!”

“You’re overthinking it! The countdowns that dropped are yours. Each of you lost five points. He Yu’s countdown didn’t drop at all.”

“Why? They’re all eating together. Why did the three of them drop, but not He Yu?”

“The meat. It should be that meat. He Yu didn’t touch the meat on his table. After picking it up, he put it back.”

“Fuck, did he figure something out again and again and again?!”

...

He Yu watched the ghost fight seriously, seemingly not anxious at all.

But the three who had discovered their countdowns had dropped by five were extremely anxious. Zhen Xing and Eugene exchanged a glance.

Eugene spoke first.

“Mr. Louis, how do you make the ghosts so obedient and willing to fight?”

Hearing this, Louis looked at him and smiled as he explained, “Mr. Eugene, that piece of equipment we use can make ghosts riot, then attack the nearest existence madly until one side dies.”

As his words fell, one of the ghosts in the arena swallowed the other!

“Roar—”

It roared, seeming still immersed in the battle.

The middle-aged man strode forward. Wearing a piece of equipment on his hand, he grabbed the remaining ghost directly. The ghost struggled madly, but the middle-aged man didn’t care at all. He stuffed it straight into the pitch-black box and closed it with a bang.

Of the two ghosts that had been huddling together, even seemingly preparing to cling to each other for warmth, only one was left.

And it had been stuffed back into the black box again and carried away.

Seeing this, Eugene gave He Yu a look.

Wanrenzhan also looked at He Yu, waiting for him to speak.

However, He Yu did not move at all.

The three: “...”

Wasn’t there supposed to be a main storyline clue?

Weren’t they supposed to handle proper business tonight?

Why wasn’t he asking anything?

Why wasn’t he saying anything?!

With no other choice, Zhen Xing could only speak.

“Mr. Louis, you’ve built Ghost Town beautifully. Why is your mansion so simple? Aren’t you treating yourself a little unfairly?”

Louis smiled and shook his head.

“None of that is important. I’m not some great figure either. As long as Ghost Town prospers, that’s enough. I’m not in town every day, so there’s no need to build the mansion too luxuriously.”

Zhen Xing nodded.

Beside him, Eugene pretended to ask casually, “Mr. Louis, with so many ghosts in town, aren’t you afraid something might happen? Are there any experts stationed here?”

“Many tourists come every day. They clear out a lot of ghosts,” Louis said, putting down his knife and fork and wiping the corner of his mouth. “But our town does indeed have experts.”

The three immediately looked at him.

Wanrenzhan asked impatiently, “Who?”

Louis replied, “Qian Duo’s father is an S-rank expert, only one step away from SS-rank.”

His gaze swept over the three below.

“You are all experts as well, rare young talents. To have such abilities at this age, becoming SS-rank experts is only a matter of time.”

Wanrenzhan muttered softly, “I’m aiming for SSS-rank...”

Zhen Xing nodded and memorized the person “Qian Duo’s father.”

Though he was only one step away from SS-rank, he still wasn’t SS-rank. He also wouldn’t be the person from three hundred years ago.

He Yu glanced at Louis and asked faintly, “Mr. Louis, you’ve been Ghost Town’s mayor for three hundred years, and now you still look like you’re in your prime. What is your combat power like?”

Louis froze. Then he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

“I’m actually not even S-rank yet. I’m only high A-rank. To cross that threshold, I either have to improve my equipment or increase my own combat power. I still need to work harder.”

High A-rank, close to S-rank. Add some potions, and it was normal for him to still be alive now.

It was just...

After more than three hundred years, he still wasn’t S-rank. And he wasn’t short on money.

That was far too useless.

He Yu picked up the towel and wiped the corner of his mouth. Then he stood.

“All right. I’m tired. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Louis. Let’s return to Shop No. 1 to rest.”

Louis also quickly stood.

“This way, please. Mr. Eugene and this Mr. Zhen Xing, will you be staying?”

Zhen Xing stood.

“Eugene can stay. I’ll accompany my young master. Wanrenzhan isn’t very reliable. I’m not at ease.”

Wanrenzhan said, “How am I unreliable? Leave the young master to me, and he’ll definitely be perfectly fine!”

Eugene rolled his eyes.

The group’s atmosphere looked extremely good. With “Young Master He” as the center, the people around him bickered and fooled around while still protecting him...

Louis smiled and shook his head, seeing them out.

When they reached the entrance of the mansion, the flying car was already parked outside.

He Yu waved a hand.

“No need to send us. Wanrenzhan and I can return by ourselves.”

Eugene became anxious.

“Young Master!”

—What kind of joke was this? They had wasted more than an hour tonight and found nothing. He Yu clearly looked like he had discovered something. He wanted to know too!

He Yu gave him a look: Be quiet.

Eugene immediately shut his mouth.

Louis thought for a moment and said, “All right. Then I won’t see you off. Young Master He, please be careful. Though Ghost Town is fairly peaceful, night belongs to the ghosts. Just deal with the ghosts at Shop No. 1. Don’t go out at night. There are always some powerful beings moving around outside. Don’t let the young master get hurt.”

He Yu nodded and smiled.

“All right.”

The moment he turned around, his face immediately darkened.

His gaze sharpened, and his eyes became bottomless, colder than ever before.

Wanrenzhan lowered his voice.

“What exactly do you know?”

On the other side, Zhen Xing also pricked up his ears.

He Yu’s voice was hoarse.

“Don’t talk yet. I’ll tell you later.”
