This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Zhen Xing ignored him. His fingers moved slightly, using the Rubik's Cube to block the ghosts trying to approach He Yu.

Wanrenzhan gritted his teeth and continued swinging his axe.

Second by second, time passed. He Yu remained silent and did not try to persuade them again.

“Ten, nine, eight, seven...”

Looking at the timer on his smart brain, he calmly counted down.

“Three, two...”

As if sensing something, all the ghosts paused slightly. The shadow that He Yu had been holding suddenly looked toward a certain direction in the darkness and widened its eyes.

“Boss!”

The ghosts stopped attacking.

Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan stopped attacking as well. They raised their heads and looked toward the direction every ghost was staring at...

Within the endless darkness, a pair of water-blue eyes shone brilliantly like gems, though the darkness dulled their brilliance.

It was different from the other ghosts.

It only had a pair of eyes.

No body.

No black shadow.

Its eyes were clear and beautiful. One glance was enough for anyone to realize—

It was completely different from the other ghosts.

The moment it appeared, all the ghosts stopped attacking. Whether they possessed consciousness or not, they were tightly suppressed by those eyes.

Zhen Xing felt they looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen them.

Wanrenzhan frowned deeply.

—What the hell is that thing?

—Why is there only a pair of eyes?

Neither of them noticed He Yu's expression change slightly.

He had always been calm and composed, but now his eyes were fixed tightly on those water-blue beads, shock and confusion flickering in his gaze.

【Bullet comments: "...Looks a little familiar."】

【Bullet comments: "I think so too. Feels like I've seen them somewhere?"】

【Bullet comments: "I remembered! The giant fish and the Frost Beast's eyes! They're almost identical!"】

【Bullet comments: "??? The Frost Beast? My god, it actually has eyes just like my cute big kitty! Wuwuwu, I don't hate it anymore. Even though it's only a pair of eyes, I somehow think it's adorable!!"】

The audience exploded.

They had been deeply impressed by that big cat. Suddenly seeing such similar eyes, they immediately became excited.

But those standing there recovered from their shock almost instantly.

After a moment, He Yu tightened his Frost Beast coat and calmly said,

“So you're the leader of the ghosts? You finally decided to trust me?”

The two beautiful blue beads floated forward and bobbed up and down.

Beside him, Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan were utterly confused, but He Yu somehow understood what it meant despite the fact that it couldn't speak.

The ghost in his hand translated:

“Our boss says it doesn't trust humans very much, but for some reason, it's willing to trust you once. If you dare deceive it, even if it dies, it'll drag you down with it!”

As it translated, the ghost glared fiercely at He Yu, seemingly wary and suspicious.

Wanrenzhan sneered.

“You'll already be dead. How are you going to drag us down with you?”

The blue eyes ignored him and simply looked at He Yu.

He Yu smiled.

As the wind lightly blew, the snow-white fur on his Frost Beast coat swayed gently, making him appear extraordinarily beautiful.

His voice remained steady and calm.

“You won't be trusting the wrong person. I've already said it—I am your opportunity.”

He swept his gaze around.

“So now, can we find somewhere safe and have a proper discussion?”

The blue eyes paused, then flew off in another direction.

Holding the translating ghost, He Yu followed.

Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan exchanged a glance and followed behind.

The group silently disappeared into the darkness.

—

The ghost leader was searching for a place.

He Yu silently followed behind it, while Wanrenzhan and Zhen Xing brought up the rear.

Completely clueless about what was happening, Wanrenzhan opened his mouth.

“He—”

He stopped abruptly.

—He saw the countdown above He Yu's head.

 Wanrenzhan's eyes lit up with delight.

He excitedly turned toward Zhen Xing—

And froze.

The countdown above Zhen Xing's head had originally been three digits.

Now it had become “72”.

It had dropped by dozens of hours.

That wasn't right.

Both he and Zhen Xing had killed ghosts.

By all logic, only He Yu's timer should have dropped.

Why had Zhen Xing lost even more time than He Yu?

That made no sense!

Staring blankly at Zhen Xing's head, he unconsciously slowed his steps.

“Something's wrong... The countdown's wrong...” Wanrenzhan muttered softly.

Zhen Xing kept walking.

“Hurry up. The countdown is normal. The most important thing right now is uncovering Ghost Town's secret. Otherwise, once the timer reaches zero, none of us will get out.”

He didn't think anything was strange.

In Zhen Xing's eyes, He Yu's timer had dropped and Wanrenzhan's timer had dropped.

Then naturally, his own must have dropped as well.

—Whenever they killed ghosts, everyone's countdown decreased.

Though Zhen Xing also couldn't figure out the pattern, the important thing now was solving the mystery and uncovering the truth.

Previously, Eugene had the lowest timer.

Now it was Wanrenzhan with “56”.

As long as they solved the truth before Wanrenzhan's timer hit zero, everything would be fine.

The countdown was normal?

Wanrenzhan frowned even more.

Something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.

He Yu said,

“Hurry. We're getting closer and closer to the greatest secret of this town.”

Wanrenzhan nodded.

“Alright.”

—Forget it.

—He Yu definitely has the lowest countdown anyway.

—If he's not worried, why should I be?

【Bullet comments: "...If he talked with Zhen Xing a bit more, he might discover the truth."】

【Bullet comments: "Wanrenzhan, this is the closest you've ever come to the truth!"】

【Bullet comments: "Still understandable. They're competitors. Even if they're cooperating, they're still wary of each other. How could they trust their opponents enough to discuss their exact countdown values?"】

Amid the audience's discussion, they followed the blue eyes into a dilapidated building on the edge of town, entered a tunnel, and descended into darkness.

Within the pitch-black underground passage, the blue eyes were especially conspicuous.

When they stopped, the blue eyes looked at them.

Around them, countless black shadows emerged.

Some looked like humans.

Some had strange forms.

Pairs of bright white eyes stared at them without blinking.

Looking around, all they could see were eyes.

It made one's spine go cold.

Wanrenzhan rubbed his arms and suppressed the urge to curse.

Meanwhile, He Yu had been staring at those conspicuous blue eyes the entire time.

Although there were eyes everywhere, these eyes were different.

The white-eyed ghosts all had bodies.

Human forms.

Black shadows.

Various shapes.

—Only the blue eyes had no body.

He Yu released his grip.

The ghost they had rescued from the Area Space immediately shot toward the blue eyes and roared,

“Boss! Avenge me! Wuwuwu, they bullied me!”

The blue eyes ignored it.

But countless voices echoed around them—

“What happened? Who are these people?”

“Humans smell delicious. I want to eat them. I really want to eat them.”

“Shut up! All you know is eating, eating, eating. Boss brought them back for a reason. Wait first. Once Boss finishes what they need, then we can eat them!”

“Boss, bringing crafty humans into our deepest territory—isn't that dangerous? What if we all get wiped out? Several of our territories have already been destroyed. This place absolutely can't be lost! Humans are the most hypocritical creatures!”

“If you don't get lost, I'll eat you immediately!”

...

Behind He Yu, Wanrenzhan tugged at his clothes and whispered,

“Hey—suddenly realized we've entered the ghosts' nest. Are you sure we'll leave alive?”

At first he hadn't thought anything of it.

He had simply followed He Yu.

Only after entering did he realize—

They had come to the ghosts' lair.

That was way too dangerous!

Gripping his axe tightly, Wanrenzhan moved closer to He Yu.

“Relax,” He Yu said.

He glanced around at the ghosts and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

“As expected, you've reached a dead end. You ghosts are truly weak. You have intelligence, but you're nowhere near as strong as the ghosts outside attacking humans.”

As he spoke, he raised his smart brain flashlight and illuminated the surroundings.

The bright light instantly exposed everything.

All the ghosts instinctively retreated two steps.

Their fierce posturing vanished.

One by one, they huddled together, small and skinny.

Compared to the ghosts outside, they looked positively shriveled.

As though the words “Malnourished” were written all over them.

Wanrenzhan: “...”

Very good.

These were the kind of ghosts he could chop ten of with one swing.

No need to be afraid anymore.

He swung his axe and stared at them eagerly.

He suddenly wanted to kill them all.

Sensing the killing intent, the weak ghosts shrank back again.

“Boss...”

“So scary... wuwuwu...”

“Oh god, we shouldn't have let them in... wuwuwu...”

...

Wanrenzhan raised his axe and glared.

“Cry again and I'll chop all of you!”

“Ahhh—!”

The ghosts covered their mouths, turning pale with fright. They huddled behind the blue eyes and left a vacuum around He Yu's group.

The blue eyes helplessly bobbed twice.

The translator ghost hurriedly said,

“Our boss says, aren't we here to discuss cooperation? Stop causing trouble. Don't scare them.”

Wanrenzhan clicked his tongue.

“Cooperate with this bunch of weaklings?”

Ignoring him, He Yu looked at the blue eyes.

“Tell me. Where did the ghosts of Ghost Town come from? What's going on? Why do some attack people while others are like you?”

The blue eyes stared at him without blinking.

Then, inside He Yu's mind, a magnetic voice rang out.

Neither male nor female.

Not loud, but crystal clear.

'Even I don't know where Ghost Town's ghosts came from, but it absolutely has something to do with humans. Ghosts constantly appear. New ghosts are born every day, silently. Most are controlled by humans. Only a tiny minority retain some intelligence. I gathered those intelligent ghosts together, so they wouldn't become slaves to humans and wouldn't actively attack humans.'

In truth, ghosts weren't merely enslaved.

Their lives were miserable.

They were casually killed, forced to work, played with...

Or eaten.

Only He Yu could hear the voice, but the translator ghost repeated it to Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan.

Zhen Xing frowned.

“You mean those ghosts outside are controlled by humans? Then why did they all stop when you appeared?”

'When they aren't receiving commands from their masters, I can briefly stop them from attacking. But only for a short time. Once their controller gives an order, I become completely powerless.'

There was a sense of desolation beneath the calm voice.

He Yu tapped the white fur on his coat with slender fingers.

“Then tell us. Who is the controller?”

'Louis.'

The blue eyes moved slightly.

—As expected.

Not a trace of surprise appeared in He Yu's eyes.

Exactly as he had predicted.

The greatest mayor.

The friendliest man.

The person who had made Ghost Town prosperous and famous.

The pride of the town.

And also—

The man controlling those mindless ghosts.

Zhen Xing's breathing quickened.

“So it really is him!”

Wanrenzhan was stunned.

“How can it be him? Why would he control Ghost Town's ghosts? To make them obedient and stop them from hurting people? How does he even have such an ability?”

His thoughts had become a complete mess.

Combat power wasn't the issue.

Controlling all the ghosts?

That was something else entirely.

Zhen Xing sneered.

“Obedient? Not hurting people? Hah. He's not that kind.”

He looked at the blue eyes.

“So what's the connection between humans and ghosts? Why are ghost cubs babies? How do they become like that?”

Everyone had countless questions.

Unlike Wanrenzhan's confusion, Zhen Xing simply couldn't understand.

The blue eyes moved again.

'I don't know either. At first, I didn't realize ghosts had anything to do with humans. But later, a newly born ghost found me. It was extremely frightened and told me it had amnesia.'

“Amnesia?” He Yu frowned slightly.

“If it knows it has amnesia, then that means it knows it once had memories.”

The blue eyes nodded.

'Exactly. From the moment ghosts become conscious, they have no memories. Every ghost is born with a blank past. But that one was different. It knew it had memories. It could even vaguely see fragments. For example, it felt it had once been human and had lived in a city called Kaman. It vaguely remembered fearing blood and being unable to kill people, yet a voice in its head constantly told it to eat humans.'

Wanrenzhan hurriedly asked,

“What happened afterward?”

The blue eyes closed slightly before opening again.

'It was a humanoid ghost. Its face was ordinary, but an old ghost recognized it. That old ghost said it had once been a tourist in this town and had stayed in one of the shops. Unfortunately, before we could investigate further, humans found and killed it.'

Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan's expressions changed.

“So the ghosts of this town are connected to humans...”

Wanrenzhan muttered.

“They might actually be humans!”

“Correct,” He Yu nodded. “There are already many signs. This should be the secret we're seeking.”

He paused.

“But the secret isn't complete. We still need more truth. For example, how ghosts are created and what their purpose is.”

“Louis,” Zhen Xing said. “Louis is the key.”

The blue eyes flickered.

'I have existed for a hundred years, yet I still haven't found a way to save the ghosts...'

He Yu raised his brows.

“You've existed for a hundred years? And your purpose has always been saving ghosts?”

The blue eyes nodded.

Suddenly, He Yu stepped closer.

“What exactly are you? Why are you only a pair of eyes? And why are you so determined to save ghosts?”

The blue eyes froze.

Confusion filled their watery gaze.

After a long time, they replied hesitantly.

'I should also be a ghost. Saving ghosts is saving myself...'

He Yu pressed on.

“Why can you suppress other ghosts?”

The blue eyes retreated.

'I don't know. Just as the ghosts outside have only one thought—eat humans—my thought is to save ghosts.'

He Yu shook his head.

“Then you're probably something created as well. Whoever made you implanted this mission into you—save the ghosts.”

The blue eyes became even more confused.

But they instinctively trusted He Yu.

They felt he wasn't lying.

Beside him, Zhen Xing looked at the blue eyes and then at He Yu.

“So someone opposed to Louis created it?”

He Yu nodded.

“Perhaps. Or perhaps it's simply a unique ghost. But I prefer the former explanation.”

“I agree,” Zhen Xing said.

Wanrenzhan interrupted impatiently.

“It hasn't found anything in a hundred years. Why cooperate with them? They're weak. They'll just drag us down.”

The blue eyes glimmered angrily.

'We've lived in Ghost Town all this time. We have information. We are useful!'

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” He Yu said. “Cooperation is possible.”

Zhen Xing nodded.

Information was power.

And in this instance, clues were everything.

The blue eyes added,

'Besides, ghosts moving around town don't attract attention. Humans do. The moment you act, you'll be discovered.'

He Yu paused.

Something flashed through his mind.

He pushed up his glasses and fell silent.

Then suddenly—

“Louis can monitor the entire town. Which means he found us. But there were five participants, not four...”

“Keli Hai.”

Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan froze.

They had almost forgotten.

Keli Hai was also in this instance.

There were five contestants.

“Is he secretly investigating by himself?” Zhen Xing asked.

He Yu suddenly understood.

He looked at the blue eyes.

“Do you know Keli Hai? Another S-rank expert who entered with us. He should've been investigating all over town.”

'That person? He's no good. He killed many ghosts. Later, he went to find Louis.'

He Yu's expression changed.

He immediately turned around.

“Quick!”

“Save Eugene. Something's happened!”

—

At the same time—

Eugene had discovered an important clue.

His eyes rolled around.

“Hehehe. Later I'll make them beg me before I share this information.”

After muttering to himself, he carefully prepared to leave.

Whoosh!

Something slashed toward him.

The sound of air splitting rang clearly.

Eugene instinctively raised his mechanical arm.

Bang!

He blocked the attack, but was forced back several steps.

His feet went numb.

—The opponent was far stronger than him.

His face sank.

Looking up, he saw Louis standing there with a gloomy expression and icy eyes.

And the aura emanating from him...

Was vastly stronger.

Killing intent surged.

He intended to kill Eugene.

Eugene raised his hand and awkwardly laughed.

“Sorry, I was just taking a walk, Mr. Louis.”

Following He Yu's advice, he hadn't touched any crucial information.

He had only conducted a shallow investigation.

Louis shouldn't do anything to him, right?

Suspicion was fine.

As long as he didn't die.

But Louis charged at him directly.

His attacks were violent and berserk.

Eugene retreated while resisting.

“Hey, hey, hey! Louis! If you hurt me, our Young Master definitely won't let you go! The He Family—”

Another voice interrupted from the side.

“Who are you trying to fool, Eugene? He Yu isn't some young master. It's all fake. He's just someone from a garbage planet. Nothing worth fearing. Yet you all keep calling him Young Master. You've completely disgraced the Federation.”

Eugene's pupils contracted.

—Fuck, Keli Hai!!

Clang!

After realizing he had been deceived, Louis attacked even more brutally.

Without mercy.

Eugene couldn't withstand it.

Even his mechanical arm had been bent.

He retreated again and again.

Louis's savagery exceeded imagination.

Grinding his teeth, Eugene cursed inwardly—

I'm screwed.

I'm really dead this time.

He Yu, you bastard—

You promised I wouldn't die!!
