Chapter 119: Zheng Jue is still alive?

He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

And he had waited for a long time.

Long-term deployment, careful plotting.

Just for this moment.

Although there were many twists and turns in the process, the result didn't disappoint him.

They say human nature is hard to measure; in Su Yang's view, human nature is the easiest to grasp, only the human heart is hard to fathom.

When the bombing ended, the plane flew away from the scene, trailing a long white smoke until it disappeared.

Lin Yang looked down at the devastated prison, unable to help but gasp.

Was this any kind of human fairyland with beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant?

Everywhere were horizontal remains, blood flowing like a river, fire burning bones, emitting an indescribable smell.

Especially some charred corpses, shocking to the eye.

"Ugh!"

Lin Yang couldn't hold it anymore and ran to the back to vomit.

Even though he had seen many big scenes, it wasn't like he hadn't killed players with his own hands.

But such a scene was truly cruel and nauseating.

Su Yang just smiled when he saw this and didn't mock him.

Lin Yang was a great hero.

How could there be any reason to kill the donkey after the mill is done?

Then was he still human?

"It's over..." Lu Junsheng sat on the ground, gazing at the setting sun, muttering to himself.

He had done it; he had done what he set out to do: bring his companions home.

Recalling the death games played during this time was like a nightmare.

He would never forget this experience in his life.

Thinking of his happy little family, Lu Junsheng couldn't stop his eyes from getting wet, harboring the expectation of reunion.

He was now looking forward to his wife and daughter being alive and coming home.

"It wasn't easy." Xiao Chen sat on the ground, back-to-back with Lu Junsheng.

"Thank you, Su Yang." Xiao Zi didn't like saying such sentimental polite words, but this thank you came from the bottom of her heart.

"You're welcome; you also contributed a large part to the plan." Su Yang smiled slightly.

Looking at his confident and calm handsome face, Xiao Zi was slightly startled.

Then she immediately looked away and found an empty space to treat her injuries.

Su Yang turned his head to look at Qin Weiyang, who was still in a daze, and patted her arm: "Thank you for protecting me for so long and being willing to believe in me."

"I've always believed you could win." Qin Weiyang said seriously.

Su Yang couldn't forget the cruel look she revealed when she saw him severely wounded.

As well as the ruthlessness when she killed Bai Jiliang.

"Ouch, I'm so hungry." Lin Yang wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth weakly.

"Bear with it a little longer; we'll be out soon." Su Yang patted his back.

"These two days have been too tiring; it feels more bitter than all my three death games combined." Lin Yang lay on the ground, exhausted in a spread-eagle position.

Su Yang glanced at the silent white-haired youth without a trace, leaned over, and whispered in Qin Weiyang's ear.

Qin Weiyang leaned in to listen, her expression changed drastically, but she recovered instantly and nodded heavily.

"I know."

Su Yang drank the last bottle of energy drink and burped contentedly.

Lu Junsheng rubbed his wet eyes, looking at the beautiful scenery of golden sunlight spilling over the hillside, and sighed sincerely: "We can go home in six more hours."

"After I get out, I'm going to make up for the time I haven't touched a computer!" Xiao Chen couldn't stop his mouth from curling up.

There is nothing happier than surviving a disaster.

"Xiao Zi, what about you?" Xiao Chen turned and asked.

"Haven't thought about it." Xiao Zi shook her head.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do now; why not take these six hours to think about it properly." Xiao Chen said.

Saying this, he looked at Su Yang again: "Brother Yang, what about you? What do you want to do after you get out?"

"Me..." Su Yang touched his chin and pondered: "... I should finish school as usual, and then consider other things."

"What? You're still a student?" Xiao Chen almost dropped his jaw.

He hadn't expected that this man with such deep thoughts was still in school?

As soon as this was said, everyone around turned their heads, surprise appearing in their eyes.

Su Yang saw their reaction and couldn't laugh or cry: "What's so surprising about this?"

"Freak..." Xiao Zi complained.

Everyone was imagining the future; they had gone through these difficult days, which might cause huge changes in their future lives.

Even future society might undergo changes.

Once a person's hands are stained with blood, they can't be washed off.

Like a brand, it is deeply carved into the depths of the soul.

The death game infinitely magnified the dark side of human nature, even if they returned to a world constrained by law.

There was no guarantee they could restrain themselves.

Just then, Lin Yang suddenly thought of something and said with a sad face: "Su Yang, what were you chatting about with that idiot Xie Yu?"

"I understood every word, but why was it so confusing when combined?"

The next moment, everyone cast curious gazes.

Like Lin Yang, they also wanted to know what happened behind the scenes.

"Literal meaning." Su Yang smiled and continued: "Xie Yu just had a dream that he could win the first ranking; he thought he predicted the future, but in reality, it was just a dream."

"Huh? But you didn't say that before." Lin Yang was even more confused.

He clearly said before—Xie Yu was manipulating everything behind the scenes and was the mastermind of all conspiracies.

What did he miss in the half hour he went to chase Luo Shuangshuang?

"One is cognition, the other is coincidence."

Su Yang pulled out the magazine, looked at the number of bullets inside, then reloaded and continued: "I was deceived by illusions from the beginning, until now."

"What illusion? Didn't we win?" Lin Yang had a series of question marks on his head.

"Destroying the prison entrance players is the first ring, killing Xie Yu is the second ring, but this doesn't mean it's over." Su Yang shook his head.

Lu Junsheng recalled the word 'scam' Su Yang said, and his heart tightened.

"Brother Su Yang, do you mean... our victory now is just a facade?"

"Not entirely." Su Yang took off his backpack and threw it to Qin Weiyang: "We just won this game of chess, but the chess player is still alive."

"So who exactly is the 'chess player'?" Lin Yang couldn't wait to know the truth.

"After experiencing so many coincidences, I've been thinking about a question—how exactly did Xie Yu intend to take the first-place watch from so many people."

"Judging from his crazy performance, it was clearly impossible."

Speaking of this, Su Yang looked at Qin Weiyang: "Do you remember Xie Yu shaking hands with me in the preparation area?"

Qin Weiyang nodded.

"I thought he borrowed the hands of other players to graft the talent onto me, but later I found I was wrong."

"To be precise, the direction from the beginning was wrong."

"Xie Yu's desire is too naked, not fitting the identity of creating a scam, and he doesn't have that qualification." Su Yang said slowly.

"According to you, the mastermind didn't actually play the game with us?" Lin Yang was shocked.

Su Yang was amused by his strange train of thought: "I always feel there's something I forgot, but I never remembered it."

"But the moment you brought people back, Lin Yang, I remembered."

"Remembered what?"

"Preparation area, the two people who followed Zhuang Weilun into the locker room." Su Yang raised his eyes slightly.

"One of them made a very abrupt movement before entering the locker room, very likely activating a talent."

"After that, this part of the memory became very blurry and I couldn't remember it."

"All coincidences are intentionally guided toward Xie Yu, including now."

"And the person who created the scam made the biggest mistake."

Su Yang's gaze fell on the white-haired youth's wrist, and he smiled lightly: "He was too clever for his own good, performing a bitter flesh trick to cut off his hand, creating the illusion that he was already dead."

"Am I right? Zheng Jue."

What?!

Zheng Jue!?

Second on the leaderboard?

Everyone turned their heads to look at the white-haired youth, their pupils trembling.

Lin Yang was the most shocked; he looked down at his watch, then at the ally he brought back, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Didn't Zheng Jue die? How did he..."

The others were even more surprised beyond measure; after all that, the mastermind was actually second on the leaderboard?

The white-haired youth didn't say a word, just quietly watching Su Yang.

"No."

Su Yang pondered carefully and asked: "I should call you..."
