This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]
Chapter 97: Transfer Station (1)“He actually killed Li.” Eugene's eyes widened in shock. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his expression was extremely complicated.
He had never imagined that this would be the outcome.
He had waited for He Yu to burn votes like they did and leave, waited for him to come out so he could ridicule him. Instead, the guy killed Li and advanced successfully with the reward.
What was even more infuriating was that Li had really let him kill him!
With that kind of terrifying combat power, if he had resisted even a little, He Yu would never have been able to kill him. If he had merely struck back, He Yu wouldn't have been able to come out at all...
Wanrenzhan gripped his axe and shot to his feet.
“What the hell was that supposed to mean?! Why did he just sit there and let He Yu kill him? Why didn't he fight back? Damn it—does he have a screw loose?!”
Veins bulged on his forehead. He held his axe tightly and glared ahead, clearly furious.
Beside him, Zhante said faintly, “Are you angry that He Yu didn't die inside, or are you angry about the strange atmosphere between Li and He Yu?”
Wanrenzhan's breathing halted. He froze.
Zhante clicked his tongue twice and rubbed his chin.
“Come to think of it, this is the first time I've seen a ghost like this. He knew He Yu wanted to kill him, and he still sat there waiting to be killed... Don't tell me he fell for He Yu?”
Wanrenzhan took several steps forward, his voice booming as he declared firmly—
“Impossible!”
Zhante narrowed his eyes.
“What's impossible about it? He Yu saved him and spent over ten hours with him. They went shopping together and watched the stars together. No one doubts He Yu's charm. Falling for him is perfectly normal. If it wasn't love, then tell me—why did he give He Yu gifts? Why did he let He Yu kill him without fighting back?”
Truth be told, contestants were gossips too.
Rarely did they get juicy gossip like this. Everyone wore curious expressions.
Qiong lowered the brim of her hat and nodded.
“Agreed.”
Siya said, “He Yu's honey trap worked pretty well.”
There was a slight sourness in her voice. Why wasn't her own beauty trap this effective in the competition?
With the three of them chiming in one after another, Wanrenzhan was rendered speechless. His face flushed red. After a long while, he gritted out—
“He Yu's just some weakling with combat power 8. Anyone who likes him must be blind. If Li likes him, then either he's crazy or his brain's broken! And he's a ghost, not even human. What right does he have? Serves him right for throwing his life away for a weakling like He Yu—”
His voice was loud, righteous, and endless.
But as he spoke, he noticed everyone staring behind him with complicated expressions, and hidden excitement at the coming drama.
Wanrenzhan froze and subconsciously turned around—
Meeting He Yu's eyes.
The air suddenly became eerily silent.
Everyone nearby shut up. It seemed as if the entire transfer station had gone quiet. No matter what they had been doing, people were secretly looking in this direction.
Wanrenzhan stiffened completely.
Those beautiful almond eyes of He Yu's looked calmly at him.
His pupils were black, his gaze utterly still and unfathomable.
His face showed no emotion. His rimless glasses rested casually on the bridge of his nose, the lenses cold.
Wanrenzhan: “......”
He opened his mouth.
“I wasn't lying. Why are you looking at me like that...”
He Yu looked ahead expressionlessly.
“Move.”
Wanrenzhan stepped aside instinctively.
He Yu had put on the Ice Beast coat. His slender fingers adjusted his clothes as he walked past Wanrenzhan without even glancing at him, completely ignoring him.
“Hey—” Wanrenzhan called out.
He Yu paused slightly and turned his head.
His voice was indifferent.
“Don't make me angry.”
His expression remained calm and his eyes emotionless, but Wanrenzhan immediately shut his mouth.
He didn't dare say another word.
He simply stood there holding his axe, staring helplessly at He Yu's back.
As though he wanted to say something, yet couldn't say anything.
【Bullet Comments: “Holy crap, He God is awesome. One sentence and Wanrenzhan shut up.”】
【Bullet Comments: “A battle maniac like Wanrenzhan deserves to stay single forever. He really can't read the room. Look at Eugene—he was jumping around before, but the second He Yu appeared, he shut up immediately...”】
He Yu had come from behind.
Along the way, everyone moved aside for him.
—This wasn't an ordinary person!
—He might look weak, but he'd played all the top experts in the palm of his hand!
They opened a path for him. After Wanrenzhan moved aside, Zhante, Qiao Yuan, and the others followed suit.
Under everyone's gazes and amidst the parted crowd, He Yu walked forward leisurely.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
His footsteps were clear.
His back was straight.
Calm and composed.
His aura fully unleashed.
【Bullet Comments: “Damn, He God is so handsome!!”】
【Bullet Comments: “Ahhh, I love He God! I'm joining his fan club!”】
He Yu had no idea about the audience's chatter.
He walked to a corner and sat down slowly. Taking out a notebook and pen from his backpack, he closed his livestream and quietly lowered his head to write and draw.
One hand rested casually on his knee, his fingers twirling the pen.
No one knew what he was writing.
No one knew what he was thinking.
The transfer station remained silent.
After a while, Zhante patted the dazed Wanrenzhan and offered some half-hearted comfort.
“Look on the bright side. He Yu's in a bad mood right now. Don't go charging into the gun barrel.”
“Why's he in a bad mood?” Wanrenzhan asked in confusion.
Zhante looked at him with disgust, but patiently explained—
“Because of Li. Even if He Yu didn't have feelings for him, someone willingly let himself be killed by him. No matter how cold-hearted you are, it's impossible not to be affected. Besides, I think He Yu had a good impression of Li. He didn't want to kill him, but he had to. Tsk tsk. Cruel, truly cruel.”
Wanrenzhan's eyes widened.
“He was just a ghost! So what if he died? Why would He Yu be unhappy? If he didn't kill him, no one inside could complete the mission and get out. He deserved to die. Even if He Yu didn't kill him, the system would've erased him!”
He had countless reasons why Li deserved to die.
And all of them sounded perfectly reasonable.
Zhante spread his hands.
“But it still affected He Yu's mood.”
Wanrenzhan: “......”
He didn't know what exactly he was angry about.
He only knew the flames inside him were rising higher and higher.
Qiong came over curiously.
“What exactly was Li? Why did a bug like that appear? Now that he's dead, will the organizers explain?”
Zhen Xing shook his head without speaking.
His gaze remained fixed on He Yu.
Eugene sighed.
“Sigh. Why did I have to calculate He Yu's countdown? If I hadn't messed with his countdown, mine wouldn't have dropped, and I could've lasted longer...”
What if they had gotten lucky and held on until He Yu killed Li?
Wouldn't they have been able to hug his thigh again and advance smoothly? Why complete the mission and lose five hundred thousand votes?
Besides, if they hadn't schemed against He Yu, maybe he would've attacked Li earlier...
—They brought this on themselves.
—Damn it!
Gedai sneered.
“You're the only one with so many tricks. You tried to scheme against him and failed. Serves you right.”
Eugene glanced sideways at Gedai expressionlessly.
“Oh? And did your scheming succeed?”
Gedai: “......”
Against He Yu, everyone could only end up being the one schemed against.
Eugene smiled.
Come on then. Let's hurt each other.
Still burning with anger, Wanrenzhan thought for a moment, raised his axe, and shouted into the air—
“Program crew! You owe us an explanation! What exactly is Li?!”
—
District One of the Federation.
Qiu Dao was in a meeting with senior Federation officials and high-ranking executives from <Top Talent Show>.
The topic—
Li.
One Federation executive frowned unhappily.
“What exactly was he? A bug? Or...”
Qiu Dao shook his head.
“We couldn't determine it. He was already killed by He Yu.”
He added,
“If He Yu hadn't killed him, we would've sent people to investigate his existence thoroughly. But now that he's gone, it's difficult to determine whether he was a naturally generated system bug or... something else.”
One executive from <Top Talent Show> thought for a moment and shook his head.
“It should be a system bug. After the last competition ended, we cleaned up all lingering problems. We even rebuilt all humanoid NPCs. There shouldn't have been any survivors.”
The Federation official said sternly,
“Let's hope so. Otherwise, if something else happens, neither you nor I will be able to cover it up!”
Looking at the projection, he said irritably,
“Who exactly is this He Yu? Why can he kill bugs? Isn't he just causing trouble? He's only a contestant from a garbage planet. Why not find a way to get rid of him?”
Qiu Dao: “......”
After a long moment, he laughed awkwardly.
“We can't interfere with the system inside <Top Talent Show>. At most, we can influence group assignments. We'll try to place him together with powerful contestants.”
His gaze swept over He Yu and paused imperceptibly on his neck for several seconds.
Only he and the King knew about the Luck Reversal Bead.
Qiu Dao had no intention of telling anyone else, and the King had forbidden him from doing so.
This He Yu seemed to have accidentally discovered the correct way to use it.
Sometimes Qiu Dao wondered—
Was it really an accident?
Or...
Had that guy known the correct method from the very beginning?
They had chosen the first instance themselves.
But starting from the second instance, Qiu Dao and the others had deliberately arranged powerful enemies for He Yu.
Yet not only had he survived, he had suppressed all those experts.
And...
His popularity was growing higher and higher.
The trend wasn't looking good.
“So what do we do next?” someone asked.
Qiu Dao thought for a moment.
“Send them an explanation and continue monitoring closely.”
If it was merely a system bug, then it wasn't too strange. Instances had their own operating methods. Bugs appearing occasionally wasn't impossible.
Only this bug had been far too powerful and bizarre.
Qiu Dao muttered,
“What exactly is the energy system between He Yu and Ghost Li? He Qi and Yu Qi... are they real?”
A Federation executive replied,
“The research department is studying it. Meanwhile, the King has already sent people to Blue Star. If Blue Star really knows something, they won't be allowed to refuse.”
If it was real...
Such power.
Who wouldn't want it?
Who wouldn't want to stand at the peak of combat power?
He Yu's theories represented both impact and opportunity.
Not only had the King dispatched official envoys to Blue Star, but many major families and planets had sent people as well.
Some had even started studying Blue Star novels and researching ghosts.
On the <Top Talent Show> discussion forum, topics regarding He Yu and Li had dominated the last two days.
The former concerned the competition.
The latter concerned an entirely different power system.
The Federation was discussing it.
The forums were exploding.
“Does anyone know whether that energy system is real?”
“No idea. I firmly believed it was fake before, but He Yu's Taiji and Absorbing Stars Art are too difficult to explain rationally. Together with Ghost Li, I'm starting to waver. I'm even beginning to accept his He Qi and Yu Qi theory.”
“Impossible. I think there's something fishy. It's probably fake, just some smokescreen created by He Yu. As for Li, he was fake to begin with. Most likely a construct of the virtual world. His existence and combat power were fake too. Yet you're all discussing it seriously!”
“Agreed. He's just a contestant from a garbage planet. What could he know? Those garbage Blue Star novels are obviously fake. Only fools believe them.”
“Are the novels fake? Is He God fake? Is his strongest support fake? Is his control of Yu Qi fake? Is him playing Eugene and everyone else like puppets fake? I don't care—I support He Yu!!”
“Mindless fan.”
“So what if I am? You people have brains, but haven't your faces already been slapped swollen?”
...
Among the bustling discussions, one fan club link was inconspicuous.
But after entering it...
One would discover a huge number of followers.
And the number kept climbing.
The newest message at the top read—
【To all He God's fans, He God comes from Blue Star, and he definitely cares deeply about Blue Star. So when speaking up for He God, don't mention Blue Star! Don't mention the energy system! Avoid bringing trouble to Blue Star.
We believe in He God. He's created miracle after miracle. One day, he'll slap all those insulting him right across the face.
There's no need to argue.
No need to quarrel.
Just wait and watch.
Many of us once disliked He God.
And now?
Therefore, everyone, just wait quietly!】
Someone replied—
【As far as I know, all the major planets have already sent people to Blue Star. If they don't get what they want, they may attack Blue Star. The Keli Hai family is afraid, but not everyone is.】
【What?! What do we do? Hurry and think of something!】
【The fan club is discussing solutions. Current plans:
1. Spread the message that He God and experts like Zhen Xing are connected, to intimidate some people.
2. Apply to the Federation to incorporate Blue Star and turn it into a tourism planet.
3. ...
Finally, everyone has to contribute, especially fans with high status and strong combat power! If our voices are loud enough, the Federation can't simply ignore us!】
Ke Ai exited the fan club and sighed.
The Federation really might not care.
After all, most viewers were ordinary people.
And the number of fans still wasn't large enough to create a major disturbance.
Many people still viewed it as a humiliation that a contestant from a garbage planet had gained such attention and suppressed Federation elites.
There had long been voices advocating destroying Blue Star.
Meanwhile, powerful individuals either had their own family interests or refused to act unless there was something to gain.
Blue Star was only a garbage planet.
And He Yu was still inside the competition.
Whether he'd even survive to come out was another matter.
Ultimately—
He Yu's fanbase wasn't yet large enough.
Even so, Ke Ai continued posting everywhere online—
【Whether Blue Star has another system or not, don't attack it. If that power system is stronger than ours, wouldn't that be dangerous?】
【If only He Yu understands the energy system, attacking Blue Star now means that even if He Yu survives the competition, he'll never tell everyone about it. Nobody wants to miss out, right? So treat Blue Star cautiously.】
【I want to know the truth about the energy system. Please don't let selfishness and temporary anger cause an irreversible tragedy for Blue Star!】
...
—
【In the <Death Countdown> instance, Li was a system bug and has been completely eliminated. All contestants may continue competing without concern.】
The moment the announcement appeared, Eugene cursed—
“Damn it! They're brushing us off with one sentence? We cleared the instance, yet we still lost five hundred thousand votes. Are they sick?”
Wanrenzhan gritted his teeth.
“What rotten luck.”
Someone else said,
“Hope we never run into a bug...”
After entering this competition, most of them were practically dead men already.
Naturally, the organizers didn't take their opinions seriously.
Eugene and the others had forces backing them, but since nothing had happened to them personally, no one would make a fuss.
The contestants resumed discussing bugs noisily.
He Yu listened quietly.
His eyes lowered slightly, concealing the icy sneer hidden within them.
System bug?
His hand held the pen steadily.
Calmly, he continued writing in his notebook.
His face showed no emotion.
“Tap. Tap. Tap.”
Footsteps sounded.
He Yu raised his head and looked over the top of his glasses.
