Chapter 180: I
Is there a sixth person?
Then that's all that's left…
"Xu Yutong?" Linshuyu's eyebrows twitched.
"They've already started taking action. At noon today Jiang Hua got completely drunk; he must be trying to use this to trigger the Second Personality."
Su Yang drained the water in his cup, then continued at an unhurried pace: "Tang Youning won't miss the final chance. Yesterday Jiang Hua was in a one versus two; today it could very well be him."
"So if you do nothing, you'll only fall into passivity."
Linshuyu subconsciously said, "What can I do?"
Her Innate Talent is 'clairvoyance'; she can see things that others cannot.
But vision doesn't play a big role in this game.
Including Su Yang, everyone is perfectly disguised, maintaining harmonious and happy relationships.
Su Yang weighed his thoughts carefully, his finger slowly tapping his thigh.
Linshuyu stayed silent, gathering today's received information in her Brain.
Beneath the seemingly harmonious scene, each harbors hidden motives.
She never imagined that the ever‑caring Big Sister Zhao Huaillei was secretly colluding with Xu Yutong.
This covert transaction hides in the Dark Place, and the two have little overt interaction.
They even conspired last night and deliberately excluded Xu Yutong.
Linshuyu glanced at the Small Knife in her bag, feeling uneasy and a nameless anger rising within her.
No one can be foolishly happy when being toyed with.
Just as she was plotting how to counterattack, she heard Su Yang speak,
"Go back and tell Zhao Huaillei that I am the person she's looking for."
"Hint?"
"There are many ways; it depends on you."
"Why her?"
"Because she is the bridge linking both sides. In this game where everyone wants the Hidden Achievement, 100% trust is impossible," Su Yang gave her a deep look.
The implication was clear: at this stage, Linshuyu and he are merely taking what they need from each other.
"What can I get?" Linshuyu asked.
"Tonight I can let you Vision Perception the things you want to see," Su Yang pointed and fell silent.
She is smart and knows the art of choosing.
Linshuyu didn't answer immediately, merely staring intently at Su Yang's gaze.
She seemed to be trying to read some clue from it.
After a while, she nodded, "Fine, I accept."
Su Yang heard her and a curve formed at the corner of his Mouth, "Tell her I am the one who loves to Lie."
"How do you know her Partner Information?" Linshuyu's mind flickered.
"I not only know hers, but I also know the Partner Information of the four of you," Su Yang said slowly.
Linshuyu hesitated slightly, her red lips parting, but ultimately she couldn't speak.
She had already guessed Su Yang's plan in her mind.
But she couldn't be 100% certain.
The final contest will unfold tonight.
If he fails to keep his promise, Linshuyu will not convey these words.
This smoke‑free battlefield is destined to see bloodshed…
The time arrived at six in the evening.
Su Yang's stomach growled, but to proactively lower his Performance Score, he chose to handle it himself.
"I'm hungry; I'll go get something to eat first, and we'll regroup at this spot later," Su Yang said as he stood.
As he walked toward the library exit, Linshuyu watched his silhouette, her eyes flickering.
After this brief two‑hour interaction, she felt Zhao Huaillei was absolutely right.
Su Yang's ability is more terrifying than imagined.
Although the Dark Place holds many threats, she'd rather not oppose someone who sees everything and still wears a 'victim' Mask on the surface.
"Can he survive tonight?"
This was Linshuyu's point of confusion.
As Su Yang said, there were no casualties last night because there was a third date.
Once the Performance Score is released, murderous intent will be fully unleashed.
Jiang Hua and Tang Youning will also reveal their most ferocious sides.
At that time, Su Yang will most likely become the target of a collective attack.
He wants to lower his Performance Score and remove himself from the focal point.
But those two are clearly not easy targets; they couldn't fail to guess his thoughts.
"Fine, let's eat first," Linshuyu patted her sagging belly and rose slowly.
She glanced at the Small Knife glinting coldly in her bag, shook her head, and zipped the zipper.
Out of sight, out of mind…
Twenty minutes later, a convenience store outside the library.
Su Yang held grilled chicken in his left hand, a cup of instant noodles in his other, and plopped onto the bench outside.
"Long‑time instant noodles, I've missed you so much…"
Lifting the lid, hot steam rose slowly, carrying a unique aroma.
Slurp—
Su Yang took a deep breath, the scorching broth‑soaked noodles darted into his mouth, the Q‑bouncy texture irresistibly addictive.
People are sometimes like that.
After feasting on big fish and meat, turning to a grilled Intestine with instant noodles brings a different pleasure.
One bite of roasted bird, one bite of noodles.
Su Yang felt his life had reached its pinnacle.
After ten minutes of eating and drinking, he drank half the instant‑noodle broth and, Mei Mei, let out a satisfied belch.
He then went to a convenience store and got a bottle of iced red tea to rinse his mouth.
"Feels good…"
Su Yang patted his belly, letting out a satisfied sigh.
Back at the library, he saw two books lying quietly on the seat.
He saw Linshuyu had not returned yet, so he continued Vision Perception the book.
The swish of pages kept coming to his ears, unusually clear in the tranquil atmosphere.
Light spilled onto the pages, Su Yang rarely enjoyed such hard‑won reading time.
Usually he liked reading, especially mystery‑type books.
The book in his hand, "The Spirit of the Knight," also had a hint of mystery.
At first glance the ink seemed boring, but after flipping a few more pages he found interesting content.
Most physical books are like that, slow‑paced, requiring a calm mind to keep reading.
Just as Su Yang was reading with relish, a Footstep sound approached.
He put down the book, lifted his gaze, and smiled: "What are you eating?"
"I felt embarrassed going into a restaurant alone, so I just grabbed a street stall and ate a hand‑pulled pancake." Linshuyu held a cup of milk tea.
"Not bringing me one?" Su Yang raised a Brow.
Linshuyu glanced at the iced red tea on the table and said, "You didn't bring one for me either?"
"I'm afraid you can't get used to national spirit."
"Cut it out."
"Hehe…"
Time passed bit by bit, the date entered its final stage.
Su Yang closed the book and stretched lazily.
"It's time to go back."
"Have you thought of a countermeasure?" Linshuyu asked.
"Counter each move."
"Hope tomorrow can Sight the living you."
"I accept your good words."
The next moment, two Gate appeared before his eyes.
"By the way, I forgot Reminder you, Wang Ning, if she asks about anything, just say today's date wasn't pleasant." Su Yang stood up and said.
"No need to say that, right? At settlement we can Sight it." Linshuyu said.
"What if?" Su Yang smiled faintly.
Saying that, he opened the door, lifted his leg and stepped in.
"Hey, you didn't take your book!" Linshuyu Reminder said.
"I'm giving it to you."
"Give me? I don't like this kind of book." Linshuyu picked it up, examined it with both eyes, muttering.
After pondering, she decided to take the book away.
A bit of sentiment, not taking it feels a bit lacking…
