Chapter 186: Huangfu Shu's Corpse! The Bizarre Wound!

~7 min read 1,356 words

Borrowing the moonlight, Tang Youning watched Su Yang's Silhouette vanish from his Vision Perception.

Jump the river?

Who gave him the Gallbladder?

Tang Youning's complexion suddenly Transform, and he hurried forward to take a look.

Only a Black Shadow was seen continuously swimming forward, trailing splashes of water.

"Damn!"

Tang Youning muttered under his breath, stripped off his shirt and pants, and leapt down.

He has already 'lost' Jiang Hua and cannot lose Su Yang again!

The two began a chase in the river; Tang Youning's speed was extremely fast, and the distance between them closed at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Su Yang's body was wounded by a knife, his movement hindered, he glanced back, and a flash of resolve passed through his eyes.

He immediately plunged into the water and vanished.

Tang Youning swam to the spot where Su Yang entered the water and dived in with a strong thrust.

But under the vast black night, how could one rely only on moonlight to see anything in the pitch‑black river water?

Soon he could no longer hold his breath and burst out of the water, gasping heavily, his eyes like a hawk watching the surroundings.

He waited a full five minutes without any sign of movement.

"Where is the person?"

Tang Youning's eyes were filled with suspicion, and he floated on the surface, Immortally unwilling to give up, waiting a moment.

The plan he had plotted for two days was proceeding exactly along the route he had anticipated.

Including a weapons clash between the two, and setting fire to the Villa.

Then Zhao Huaillei appeared and led him to the gallery bridge.

Everything proceeded very smoothly.

The powerful Flashlight was a weapon he had prepared long ago.

Once the obstacles are cleared, he can freely crush Su Yang.

Complete the ultimate grand undertaking!

But never expected...

Su Yang was surprisingly decisive, jumping into the river despite his injury!

"Isn't he afraid of being punished by the rules?"

This is the point Tang Youning couldn't figure out.

Thick fog on both sides hung two identical gallery bridges.

One side was the male activity area, the other the female activity area.

In theory, once Su Yang crosses the boundary, his game eligibility would be revoked.

How is that different from seeking one's own death?

Tang Youning hadn't failed to consider this possibility when deploying the plan.

But he is a smart person.

A smart person wouldn't put themselves in danger, let alone commit suicide.

Therefore, in his view Su Yang's action is no different from abandoning the game.

"Wait another ten minutes..."

Tang Youning looked up at the thick fog blocking the moonlight, his gaze flickering slightly.

He immediately swam ashore, moved a few times, and the slightly stiff calf Muscle relaxed.

The evening breeze blew gently, and the silent night was accompanied only by cicada chirps.

Tang Youning gradually lost patience, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

"Dead is fine too; it solves a great trouble in my heart."

Thinking this, Tang Youning paused for a moment, confirmed that Su Yang had no chance of survival, and turned away...

Meanwhile, at the other end of the thick fog.

Su Yang burst out of the water, swimming forward with effort.

His purpose this time was not escape, but something more important to do.

He followed the river's direction, trying to find Huangfu Shu's corpse!

Tang Youning's behavior in front of the gallery bridge was extremely abnormal; not only did he not kill Su Yang, he actually wanted to spare his life.

This alone reveals a clue.

"If the three of us men all die, leaving only him, based on his Performance Score, he certainly couldn't be the priority choice."

But Tang Youning was not the least bit flustered.

According to normal logic, in a four‑to‑one situation, the women have no other options and can only choose him.

Thus Tang Youning would fall into a doomed situation.

He wouldn't have missed this point, nor would he be foolish enough to kill all the men and trap himself.

He understands the principle that when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold.

Unless a deeper secret is hidden within.

Or perhaps it's a game mechanic.

If Su Yang can find Huangfu Shu's corpse, the answer will be obvious.

After playing for a long time, Su Yang felt completely weak, his face as white as paper.

His stamina and willpower were exhausted, and he had never been as disheveled as now.

Even when he was blocked by a thousand people in the previous game, he could still face it calmly.

And now, the number of players is only eight.

Yet the difficulty is far higher than he imagined.

"Time to hurry…"

Su Yang lightly bites the Tongue tip, forces his spirit, and pushes through the numb pain to swim forward.

However the good scene doesn't last; when he swims halfway, the current suddenly becomes rapid.

The terrain abruptly steepens, and his body plummets down.

"Splash!"

Su Yang crashes heavily into the water, spraying water everywhere.

He feels as if a heavy object struck him, his body nearly falling apart.

The blood at the Mouth corner instantly mixes with the river water.

Su Yang grits his teeth and rises to the surface; as soon as his head appears, he finds himself in a huge artificial lake!

Granite rises on all sides, and behind him is a waterfall mouth, the water flowing down through that opening.

"So Huangfu Shu's corpse…"

A flash of insight passes through Su Yang's eyes as he scans the surroundings.

Soon, his gaze fixes on the 'object' floating in the middle of the lake, and he understands.

"Found you…"

Su Yang swims slowly forward, and after a moment finally reaches the object's location.

Looking down, he sees a silhouette in a prone position gently rippling with the water waves.

After long immersion, the skin has turned pale and softened, the limbs are markedly swollen.

Su Yang flips the corpse over, and sees that the body's death stains have faded considerably.

The wound on the chest has long been swollen, and faintly one can still see scattered Organization fragments of flesh.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Su Yang notices some sticky stuff at the corpse's Mouth and Nose area.

He reaches out and feels it; the texture differs somewhat from his imagination.

"Dead for two days, soaked for two days, the rate of decay is a bit too slow…"

Su Yang thinks it over and decides to drag the corpse to the shore for further inspection.

Instantly, one hand grabs his collar, the other hand sweeps across the water surface toward the bank.

After a moment, he climbs onto the shore and drags the corpse up with effort.

Having completed all this, Su Yang breathes heavily, feeling dizzy, Brain swelling, and slightly nauseous.

Too many things happened tonight, so many that he has no time to attend to all of them.

Resting against the wall for a while, Su Yang struggles to stand and walks toward the corpse.

Huangfu Shu's face is swollen beyond human shape, like a huge facial basin, the skin both lax and swollen.

Su Yang has long passed the stage of feeling nauseated by corpses; he crouches, opens the wound's flesh, and examines carefully.

The diameter of Cupid's Arrow is about three centimeters; judging from the wound size, there's no problem.

This is a penetrating wound; normally the wound would be relatively regular.

Yet Su Yang finds the front wound larger, while the back wound is only two‑thirds its size.

He did examine the corpse when he first found it.

At first glance there was no issue, until it soaked in water the differences appeared.

"Could it be secondary damage?"

Su Yang's Brow furrows; he inserts both Fingers into the hole and pries it open, observing the skin Organization.

From the damage degree, it is indeed an arrow wound.

But the latter part clearly shows signs of external force.

Seeing this, Su Yang's mind flashes a hypothesis.

Yet at that moment, a cold object suddenly touches his Neck.

"Don't move!"
