Chapter 124: For the sake of family, pick up the butcher knife

In the blink of an eye, a few hours passed.

Lin Yang woke up from his dream, rubbed his somewhat aching head, and then shook it hard.

"I fell asleep?"

He recalled the last things he saw before his consciousness blurred—

It was Su Yang confronting Zhuang Weilun, exposing all his conspiracies.

And then a snap of the fingers...

"I'm not dead?"

Lin Yang instinctively touched his body, but didn't find any missing parts, nor the pain he imagined.

Soon, Qin Weiyang and the others also woke up from their dreams.

They first looked at the bright moon on the dome, then instinctively picked up their weapons and scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

"Where is Zhuang Weilun?"

"Dead."

Just then, a low voice came from behind.

Everyone turned to look, only to see Su Yang with his back to them, sitting alone on the edge of the cliff.

His figure revealed a sense of loneliness and desolation, appearing exceptionally thin in the dark night.

"How did he die?" Qin Weiyang asked curiously.

"Burned to death by fire."

Su Yang stood up slowly, patted his butt, and pointed to the charred corpse on the ground.

People looked over, their gazes freezing.

Zhuang Weilun's height was around 1.7 meters, but this corpse had shrunk to around 1.5 meters due to the fire.

Even though he had been dead for a while, one could still smell a burnt odor.

"You did it?" Fu An's expression was complex.

He looked at the watch on Su Yang's wrist, knowing deeply that Zhuang Weilun's scheme hadn't succeeded.

"Why, do you want to avenge him?" Su Yang turned around, his deep eyes staring straight at him.

This look was extremely strange, without the previous high spirits, nor the confident calmness.

Instead, it was dim, and mixed with a trace of confusion.

"I don't have that intention, you're overthinking." Fu An hurriedly explained.

Having witnessed Su Yang's ability, where would he have the heart to talk about revenge?

Furthermore, the fundamental reason Zhuang Weilun got to know him was just to use him.

Fu An had already obtained the watch; why do useless work and risk his life?

Qin Weiyang saw his worry and asked with concern: "We won, why aren't you happy?"

"Right, we can go out in ten minutes, you should be happy; we won!" Lin Yang looked at his watch, excited.

Su Yang looked at the excitement between their brows, a flash of intolerance in his eyes.

For all players, leaving the prison and going home was the ultimate goal.

They didn't hesitate to fight to the death with players, stained their hands with blood, and did many things against their conscience, all just to see the people they wanted to see and do the things they wanted to do.

Putting in all efforts, all for freedom.

Everyone, including Su Yang, was fighting for freedom.

Now, Su Yang learned that the world outside the prison was still a cage, even more cruel than the current situation.

"Damn it, I've had enough of this ghost place; it's like being in jail, I'm going to travel after I get out!" Xiao Chen said.

"Didn't you say you were going to play computer? Why did you change?" Lin Yang teased.

"Can't I take my laptop to travel?"

"Fine, fine, as long as you're happy."

"Hehe..."

"Useless guy." Xiao Zi scolded, but the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

They had been suppressed for half a month, and their psychology was already abnormal.

If they didn't get out, personality distortion would happen sooner or later.

Just like survivors in the apocalypse, after a long time, numbness is followed by the annihilation of human nature.

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."

"It's still a prison."

"Is that so..." Lu Junsheng gave a miserable smile, his eyes full of unwillingness and regret.

He hadn't achieved much in his life, nor did he have any ambition.

He had a cute five-year-old daughter at home, whom he cherished dearly now that he was middle-aged.

Going to work in the morning, eating the hot meal his wife brought at noon, and occasionally bringing home his daughter's favorite wolf-tooth potatoes in the evening.

Listening to his daughter calling "Daddy" over and over, he felt that this was the meaning of life.

But a sudden "kidnapping" tore this hard-won family apart.

Lu Junsheng was an honest and dutiful man; he had never done anything harmful.

Yet for the sake of his family, he was forced to pick up the butcher's knife.

Lu Junsheng recalled the bits and pieces of the past, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

He noticed the look Su Yang cast his way and wiped his eyes, "I'm old and have shallow tear ducts; please excuse me."

Immediately, he said, "Actually... A-Liang is a good person; he didn't want to kill you."

Su Yang's mind conjured up Bai Jiliang's brightly colored yellow hair and unruly face, and he nodded, "I know, he was just influenced by his subconscious."

"They are all good kids, just used by bad people," Lu Junsheng sighed.

He had promised to bring his team members home, but now he had broken his word.

"What kind of distinction between good and bad is there?" Su Yang shook his head and smiled, "They are just fighters longing for freedom."

"The real bad guy is Him."

He pointed to the sky.

Lu Junsheng looked up and murmured, "Yeah..."

A moment later, time froze at exactly midnight.

"It's over..." Su Yang said slowly.

"Huh?" Lin Yang said with great surprise, "This game is too conscientious; it actually gives away a house."

How long would it take to afford a house working outside?

He actually gives it away for free?

Su Yang glanced at him.

Truly conscientious, giving you a prison cell.
