Chapter 228: Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven! Code Name—Dragon!

Why?

Su Yang didn't understand, and even less could he explain it.

Clearly, the condition for 'Deception' was that in the same scene, the lie told only needed to be believed by more than half the people to become true.

In other words, the priority of the scene constituting the 'Deception' condition was higher than the characters.

Su Yang had tried this as early as the last death game.

During his date with Xu Yutong, he tried to 'Deceive' in the movie theater.

He thought the surrounding people were just NPCs and didn't matter.

He didn't expect that the 'Deception' would fail.

This also confirmed from the side...

As long as there is independent thinking, it can be called a 'person.'

Similarly, Su Yang was now in another space, with thousands of people in the school including faculty and staff.

Could a sentence he hadn't finished speaking really fool half of them?

Looking at the behemoth dissolving under the sunlight, the confusion in Su Yang's eyes deepened.

"Roar—"

The Butcher screamed continuously, its skin turning bright red, as if it were being roasted.

Its form kept shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Corrosive blood evaporated continuously, and the sour stench lingered throughout the passage.

Qin Weiyang's expression changed, looking at the struggling Butcher, then at the contemplative Su Yang.

Her head was full of question marks.

He had just said that 'Illusion' couldn't work on non-human life forms.

Then how now...

"No, did I fall into an illusion?!" Qin Weiyang's heart shook.

But thinking about it, she felt it wasn't right; illusions were inherently illusory.

Before the sunlight appeared, she clearly saw the Butcher rushing toward the two.

Now that a full half-minute had passed, such a short distance was enough for the Butcher to rush over.

But the imagined pressure and pain didn't appear.

Qin Weiyang couldn't tell for a moment whether the scene before her was a hallucination before death or Su Yang's 'Illusion' handiwork.

"Su Yang..."

"Shh, don't make a sound."

At this moment, Su Yang heard a strange sound coming from above.

It wasn't the 'hissing' sound of fire roasting flesh, but more like some kind of impact sound.

The sound was loud, but it was masked by the Butcher's screams.

"Bang!"

The dull sound came again, and this time the movement was even greater.

It seemed... closer.

"Did you hear that?" Su Yang asked.

Qin Weiyang moved her gaze away from his handsome face and listened intently.

Immediately after, that abrupt sound drilled into her ears.

"Someone's coming!" Qin Weiyang said in a low voice.

Su Yang picked up the flashlight from the ground and shone it upward, seeing countless cracks appearing like a spider web.

"This is..."

"Boom!"

Accompanied by an explosion, countless stones fell, pinning the suffering Butcher underneath.

In an instant, the brilliant sunlight vanished without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Su Yang knew deeply—'Deception' had failed.

Amidst countless dust, two blurred figures could be vaguely seen.

One of them examined the surroundings and asked, "Where's the Butcher?"

Another female voice responded, "Didn't see it; it probably ran away."

Just as the words fell, a sturdy arm suddenly emerged from the pile of rubble, lifting the stones away with force!

"Careful!"

The man raised his hand to swat away the flying stones, looking forward with a solemn expression.

A three-meter-tall charred creature swayed to its feet; its originally bloated form became lean under the restraint of its 'natural enemy.'

The fat and human skin on its body disappeared, replaced by clearly defined abdominal and chest muscles.

"The Butcher looks like this?" The man was confused.

He clearly remembered that the Butcher in the legend was a super fat guy.

"Die!"

The Butcher spoke in human language, its voice mixed with boundless resentment and anger.

It picked up two huge butcher knives and killed, its speed several times faster than before!

"I'll do it!"

The man advanced instead of retreating, rushing forward and throwing a punch.

"Bang!"

The dull collision echoed through the passage, but the evenly matched scene didn't appear.

The man flew backward like a cannonball, slamming heavily into the pile of bones, splashing dust into the sky.

"Cough cough!"

The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "This beast is even weaker than I imagined."

Weak?

Su Yang's expression became strange upon hearing this word.

If not for the sunlight weakening its power, one punch would have knocked the shit out of you.

Although the current Butcher was faster than before, its strength had clearly dropped by several levels.

The man had encountered the Butcher during its weak period.

If it were in its prime, rushing up like that would surely be a dead end.

"Seems like peers; should we help?" Qin Weiyang asked.

She had already recovered a certain degree of mobility.

"Of course not; we've done enough," Su Yang shook his head.

These two players had clearly discovered their existence but hadn't attacked.

Everyone knew clearly that the primary target to eliminate now was this strange entity before them.

Su Yang needed to accumulate strength and investigate the fundamental reason for the activation of 'Deception.'

"Bang bang..."

The sound of fists hitting flesh was endless, each collision like two trucks crashing.

But how could humans compare to a strange entity that had lived for a hundred years?

A lean camel is bigger than a horse; the Butcher roared and slammed a fist into the man's chest.

In an instant, his spine protruded outward, and the school uniform on his back instantly tore into rags.

"Pfft!"

The man spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale.

"Seems you're even weaker than I imagined," the woman shook her head in disappointment.

"It's this beast that's too strong," the man climbed up again, killing intent shooting out like cold light.

"Just right, I haven't met an opponent before; let's use it to test my limits."

As he spoke, the man took a breath like a whale drinking water, and his muscles suddenly bulged.

The heavy, ragged breathing sounded like the low growl of a beast, echoing leisurely through the passageway.

"Talent?" Su Yang frowned.

The next moment, the man rushed out like a cheetah, throwing a punch.

The Butcher was still furious, just reaching out to meet the attack, but its arm made a crisp sound.

'Crack!'

The arm snapped, and the man seized the opportunity to close in, grab the Butcher's head, and knee it hard!

However, this wasn't the end; he grabbed the broken arm and swung it like a windmill, smashing it wildly against the wall.

The continuous ravaging made the Butcher roar incessantly.

But the sound grew smaller and smaller, and the pits in the wall grew larger and larger.

Until the struggle weakened, the man gripped the Butcher's head, his eyes cold.

"Farewell."

Then he twisted hard, completely ending the Butcher's life.

"So simple?" The woman was slightly stunned, her gaze toward the man becoming more solemn.

"Trouble handled; time to catch up."

Saying this, the man turned and walked toward Su Yang.

Facing the flashlight's light, the muscles on his body like coiled dragons were clearly visible.

"Acquaintance?" Su Yang frowned, subconsciously gripping his folding knife tighter.

As the man approached, his face came clearly into view.

Su Yang looked at this face, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Before he could speak, the man turned around and tilted his head:

"Let me introduce myself formally..."
