Chapter 177: Then Let's Flip the Table Together! The Real Hunter!

"I don't know what to Vision Perception, so I just grabbed a book," Linshuyu said, laughing a little, a bit embarrassed.

She skimmed through it; inside were photos of models wearing fashionably designed clothes and explanations about the clothing designers.

Su Yang, seeing that the itinerary was almost finished, got straight to the point: "There's no secret handshake; how did you know the date's counterpart was me?"

Linshuyu tightened the Finger tip holding the page, and said naturally, "Because you're the most special in the library."

Nice excuse.

It truly can make people feel favorable.

Especially when this line comes from a cute girl's mouth.

Unfortunately, Su Yang's purpose today is not that.

"Special? Are you referring to my looks or... my outfit?" Su Yang asked.

"Both, your dressing also has good taste," Linshuyu said softly.

Su Yang pointed at the book in his hand, puzzled, "But I just used the book to shield my face; how did you Vision Perception me?"

Linshuyu's complexion changed slightly; just as she was about to explain, she heard Su Yang ask again:

"Don't you find it strange? The first two dates both had secret handshakes, but this time there wasn't any."

"Maybe they want the player to search on their own," Linshuyu said.

"Mm... but I lean toward another possibility."

"What?"

"You've already seen me before, know my appearance well, so there's no need for a so‑called secret handshake," Su Yang said.

At those words, Linshuyu's eyelids twitched sharply.

"How could that be? You and I are separated by dense fog, and we have no overlap; where would the chance to meet come from?"

"Compared to Zhao Huaillei, your acting is too clumsy," Su Yang looked at her deeply.

"She told you that?" Linshuyu blurted.

"So you know everything; you must have also taken part in her actions last night, right?" Su Yang asked.

Linshuyu said nothing, her eyes fixed on Su Yang.

"Don't Vision Perception at me like that; you're afraid to answer because of Lie Detection, but it's no longer a secret."

"In fact, it's not just me; even the other two male players in the dorm also know," Su Yang said.

"Knowing that, so what?" Linshuyu's composed demeanor vanished, replaced by indifference.

"Of course it's to confirm Partner Information; you wouldn't not know that each daily message is linked to a player's Innate Talent, would you?" Su Yang began.

"Just from that you want to confirm? You're more naive than I imagined," Linshuyu crossed her arms, saying coldly.

"Don't be impatient; today is the last date, also the final chance to reveal the answer," Su Yang said lightly.

"If I refuse to cooperate, what do you plan to do?" Linshuyu leaned forward slightly, a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Su Yang fell silent, Brow slightly furrowed.

Linshuyu smiled triumphantly, her bright smile like a spring breeze.

"I admit you're very clever; Sister Lei has already told me everything. Compared to Jiang Hua and Tang Youning, you are the most dangerous."

"You've drafted a special plan to deal with me?" Su Yang slightly raised his eyelids.

"Of course, your Performance Score is currently the highest in the venue; if we let this continue, the unlucky ones will be us," Linshuyu nodded calmly.

"I really envy how you girls can be so united, unlike us guys who only think of fighting within the nest," Su Yang sighed.

"You guys have a belly full of bad water; from day one you try every way to kill Huangfu Shu, Recoil is inevitable," Linshuyu turned the page unhurriedly.

In her view, Su Yang's abilities are outstanding in every aspect.

But a date is a matter of two people.

Even if Su Yang performs excellently, if she doesn't cooperate, the other side has no way to handle her.

The rules clearly state that doing anything unrelated to the itinerary will deduct points.

Likewise, deviating from the itinerary also incurs point deductions.

As a result, even if Su Yang possesses all‑powerful abilities, he still cannot seize the initiative.

And this—

is her method.

"Are you scared?" Linshuyu teased, watching Su Yang's constantly Transforming face.

"Who would have thought that the mastermind spoken of by Yu Tong and Wang Ning would ever feel fear, how strange."

Su Yang pondered for a moment, "... Are you also planning to flip the table?"

Also?

Linshuyu caught that unexpected word.

Su Yang's tightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed, as if finding a kindred spirit, "What a coincidence, I also intend to do that; we thought of it together."

"Is that called... a kindred mind?"

"Putting on a show isn't a good habit; you don't need to force yourself to save face," Linshuyu frowned.

"I've been wondering what you actually gain by sacrificing yourself..." Su Yang tapped the book cover with his Finger tip.

"You said you drafted a plan to deal with me; I guess the participants are three, right?"

Su Yang raised three Fingers, "Wang Ning, Zhao Huaillei... and you."

Linshuyu's Pupil narrowed slightly, but quickly suppressed surprise, "Exactly, and then?"

"I don't know what agreement you reached privately, nor am I interested," Su Yang considered carefully, continuing:

"Sacrificing one person to benefit the other two, but this isn't a team‑cooperative game."

"A triangular relationship is indeed stable, but you don't know that a triangle also has sharp characteristics."

"Assuming you break the jar and give up successfully, the best outcome is only that I receive fewer Performance Score…"

"That's all."

"Linshuyu looked at him with a fully confident demeanor, her temper flaring, inhaled deeply and said, 'As long as we eliminate you first, that's enough.'"

"Is that really enough? What if Huangfu Shu is still alive?" Su Yang lifted his gaze, and a hint of inscrutability flashed in his deep eyes.

"Impossible! He's dead dead!" Linshuyu's delicate body trembled slightly, her voice suddenly rose a few degrees.

"Su Yang reached out and pressed down, 'Don't get worked up, I'm just making a hypothesis.'"

"If Huangfu Shu weren't dead, you'd be regarded as prey; he's been watching you all along."

"You were Jiang Hua's date partner on the first day, and the murder plan was also devised then."

"Let me think…"

"Speaking of that, Su Yang paused briefly, then said, 'His window happens to be within the range of the Cupid Statue; from this angle, it must also be within the scope of your clairvoyance.'"

"You spied his Partner Information on the first day and developed murderous intent."

"But your date partner wasn't Huangfu Shu, so there was no chance to strike."

"Later, by chance, you saw Jiang Hua's two faces."

"One was sunny and kind, the other shadowy and ruthless."

"Since then, you harbored murderous intent."

"You intend to exploit his Dual Personality condition to achieve your goal, clearing obstacles while also altering the game's progression."

"You claim there's no longer a threat, but you didn't expect the next day's Partner Information to point to another person."

"Am I right, Miss Lin?" Su Yang gave a slight smile.

"Linshuyu's heart had already been stirred into a cataclysmic wave; Su Yang's words hit precisely her emotional journey."

"Although the process differs slightly from his statement, the overall gist is the same."

"She even suspects the other has the Innate Talent of Mind Reading."

"You're saying all this just to persuade me to finish the Date Schedule with you, but I won't buy that." Linshuyu gritted her teeth.

"You're wrong; like you, I also want to flip the table." Su Yang said slowly.

"Do you think I'd fall for it?" Linshuyu sneered, "If you lose the initiative, who will protect you?"

"You still don't understand." Su Yang shook his head regretfully.

"From start to finish, our purposes have never been on the same level."

"You want to drag me into the water."

"My goal is the Hidden Achievement."

"I say this only to verify whether my reasoning is correct; from your eyes I can see I guessed right."

"Su Yang slowly closed the book, calmly saying, 'The true hunter is neither Jiang Hua nor me.'"

"It's Tang Youning!"
