Chapter 192: The Hidden Game Mechanics of the Corridor Bridge! Su Yang's Choice!

Secret?

And also…

Huangfu Shu's death wasn't a "final verdict"?

And there's also Tang Youning's back‑handed strike?

Su Yang's various pieces of information differ greatly from what a few people learned.

Although the result is the same, any slight deviation in the process makes the meaning vastly different.

"You fabricate a crime based only on a half‑burned Letter and a supposed wound; that's rather childish," Tang Youning said.

"Also, even if we take a step back ten thousand steps and assume I killed the person, what does that explain?"

Su Yang anticipated his reaction; Tang Youning had no need to admit it, let alone would admit it.

Last night's great Fire had already burned all traces to ash, which is the main reason he feels fearless.

"Let's change our approach and talk about the Corridor Bridge," Su Yang said leisurely:

"The Corridor Bridge is the first stop for all players entering the game, and the place where they make their first choice."

"Do you all still recall the two paths, 'Love' and 'Desire'?"

"Your first thought is surely that choosing different directions will affect the subsequent dates, or that pairs are matched, with those who chose the same path dating each other."

"But it seems that from the first date onward, the matching is random, and no one has ever mentioned this afterward."

"Perhaps the so‑called choice is merely a 'test' and doesn't explain anything."

Su Yang's voice was soft, and while explaining he glanced up at the clock on the wall.

"Coincidentally, Huangfu Shu announced his choice of 'Desire' before the date began, but no one seemed to care."

"Because the rules never explain or hint at any difference between the two choices."

Hearing this, Wang Ning's face filled with doubt, "Indeed there's no difference; is this choice really important?"

"From a game perspective it's unimportant, but regarding the choice…"

Su Yang stared at Wang Ning's eyes, a corner of his mouth lifting, "That is the answer."

What?!

Everyone's gaze fixed, their breathing suddenly stilled.

Then their eyes fell on Linshuyu's headless corpse, their hearts jolting.

Xu Yutong exclaimed in surprise, "You mean… if the choices on the Corridor Bridge differ, we can now match each other?"

"How could it be that simple? Then what meaning do our dates have?" Wang Ning was startled; she hadn't expected Su Yang's idea to be so fanciful.

It was like a convoluted, extremely difficult math problem.

He wrote '1+1=2' while solving it?

Isn't that obviously nonsense?

"Do you think we're fools? Deciding life and death based on a single Corridor Bridge, then why waste time playing a game?" Jiang Hua asked.

"Crazy talk," Tang Youning shook his head.

"I know you all don't believe, but proving it is also simple," Su Yang took the Letter on the table, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it aside.

He then looked at the Minotaur, "I choose Huangfu Shu!"

"Please confirm again."

"Confirmed!" Su Yang nodded.

He went mad?!

Choose a Dead Person?

Everyone's first reaction was that it was absurd.

Huangfu Shu's corpse had already swollen, and he did this just to prove he wasn't wrong?

"Extremely ridiculous," Tang Youning scoffed aloud.

Su Yang waited calmly for the result, his expression unchanged.

It wasn't a rash move; when he met Tang Youning last night, the other's strange behavior had already caught his attention.

A person who had thought carefully and planned everything, after driving away Zhao Huaillei, surprisingly didn't kill him.

Instead, he wanted to take him to the Corridor Bridge.

That in itself was an unreasonable act.

On the Corridor Bridge there is nothing besides 'Desire' and 'Love'.

Since then Su Yang gained a Heart Eye, combining the past few days' behavior with the Luoshi.

Plus the truth of Huangfu Shu's death.

Su Yang could determine the deeper meaning behind Tang Youning's arrangements, and…

The game mechanic he discovered!

Finally, the Minotaur slowly lifted his head and said gravely, "Choice correct!"

"Player Xu Yutong, please begin selecting a partner; time limit 15 minutes, exceeding it counts as forfeiture."

With those words, the scene instantly erupted.

Including Tang Youning, everyone changed expression.

"Is this reasonable? A Dead Person can be chosen?" Zhao Huaillei was horrified.

"Both of them are men, how can they match…" Xu Yutong's heart jolted.

Jiang Hua looked as if he had seen a ghost in daylight, his face full of disbelief as he stared at the seat beside him.

He had thought only he could succeed this round, but didn't expect Su Yang also 'killed' his way out.

Even more absurd, his reason for choosing was merely that the choices on the Corridor Bridge differed?

Su Yang turned his head to look at the bruised face of Tang Youning, gave a slight smile, "Brother Ning, you tried to grab me last night and take me to the Corridor Bridge; you must have wanted to verify my choice, right?"

"You can't perform Lie Detection, you never believed me from start to finish, but I can discern truth from lies, so you don't dare bounce around before me for long, fearing I'd see through you."

"You did put in sincere effort; you disguised yourself for so long, and even meticulously set up a killing scheme, just to lure the snake out of its hole."

"Unfortunately, you didn't anticipate that the river beneath the Corridor Bridge leads to an artificial lake, nor did you expect that I would seek my own death."

Tang Youning's chest rose and fell slightly, clearly angered.

All his scheming went to waste; whoever were in his place wouldn't feel good.

"So this is the real way the game works?" Xu Yutong exclaimed.

"Accurately speaking, this is the gameplay of the first round of choices." Su Yang gave a slight nod.

"No wonder all our choices were wrong…" Zhao Huaillei realized.

But…

How did Jiang Hua choose correctly again?

"You also figured out the game's mechanics?" Zhao Huaillei looked at Jiang Hua.

"I don't know, Brother Ning made me choose." Jiang Hua looked bewildered.

"Tsk tsk, what a deep brotherly bond, willing to hand over the chance to others, yet also willing to put me in a deadly situation." Su Yang lamented.

"Shut up!" Tang Youning's features twisted, his eyes spewed fire.

"If I'm not mistaken, Huangfu Shu entered the game at the same time as you; you know what he chose, and he also knows your choice." Su Yang said slowly,

"You are more meticulous than others; from the start you have already grasped the true meaning of 'love' and 'Desire'."

"Actually you shouldn't have killed him, because he was your prey."

"It's just that he exposed this secret; when your choice was fully exposed, you feared the plot would be uncovered."

"Coincidentally this game involved someone you know, so you plotted a murder scheme."

Speaking of that, Su Yang lifted his eyes to Zhao Huaillei, a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Sister Lei, am I right?"

"Since you already know, why ask further?" Zhao Huaillei said.

"Actually Linshuyu also knows, but she died too early to witness this great drama." Su Yang sighed.

"You won this round, but the Shackles on you still remain; our business between us is not over." Tang Youning's eyes flashed with ferocity.

Su Yang's gaze grew cold, "Indeed, the account between us… it's time to Settle Scores."
