Chapter 229: Code Name—Rat, Rooster! You Just Need to Believe in Me, That

Su Yang watched as a huge tattoo slowly emerged on the broad back.

Deer antlers, camel head, rabbit eyes, snake neck...

Those scarlet eyes were particularly eye-catching, emitting a faint cold light in the dim environment.

"Dragon?!" Su Yang was stunned.

He had initially guessed that Gao Chang was a treasure hunter, but the various events that followed made him doubt this.

After all, he had done so many earth-shattering things, yet returned unscathed.

His luck was a bit too good.

If he wasn't protected by someone above, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

So he leaned the scales a bit more toward the Guardians.

Now he had actually killed his way down from above, openly exposing his talent in front of Su Yang.

Even though there were thousands of doubts in his heart, the doubts faded a lot when he saw the tattoo.

"Move aside, it's my turn to introduce myself."

The woman pushed him away and stood in front of the flashlight.

A breathtakingly beautiful face appeared before them, her expressive brows and eyes heart-stirring.

In terms of beauty, her level was on par with Qin Weiyang.

The former was sweet, the latter cold.

She took off her short-sleeved school uniform in front of Su Yang and turned around to reveal her snowy back.

"Undercover Shen Yuran, code name—Rat."

The next moment, a huge rat tattoo appeared abruptly.

Two treasure hunters exposed their identities; Su Yang and Qin Weiyang looked at each other subconsciously.

Both saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

Clearly, this approach was too direct, inevitably making people doubt its authenticity.

Moreover, how could they be sure they were peers?

Shen Yuran put her clothes back on unhurriedly, "We've finished introducing ourselves; it's your turn."

"Why should I?" Su Yang said with a half-smile.

"Because we saved your life, is that enough?" Shen Yuran smiled sweetly.

"The Butcher would have died anyway even if you hadn't come," Su Yang said lightly.

"Oh?" Shen Yuran pointed curiously at Qin Weiyang on his back, "One is injured, the other only has a knife tool for children to play with; tell me, how would you kill it?"

This was the first time Su Yang had been looked down upon like this.

There was no anger in his heart, just saying, "Then why don't you think about why the Butcher doesn't match its legendary image?"

"That's not important," Shen Yuran shook her head, "What's important is that if you don't declare your identity, Gao Chang and I will treat you as Guardians."

The implication was clear.

If you don't say it, I'll kill you all.

Faced with the threat, Su Yang's mind raced in a short time.

"Looks like the alliance is ahead of schedule."

After saying this, he carefully put Qin Weiyang down and handed over the flashlight.

Then he stood in front of Shen Yuran and took off his clothes, revealing his muscles.

"Nice body," Shen Yuran praised.

Su Yang watched for a moment and turned around slowly.

As his belief moved, the tattoo appeared instantly.

"Undercover Su Yuan, code name—Sheep."

"You really are a peer," Shen Yuran said with joy on her face, as if happy because she guessed correctly.

Then she tilted her head to look at Qin Weiyang, "Beauty, your turn."

Qin Weiyang was very unhappy now; if not for her limited mobility, she would have given her a piece of her mind.

"Vixen..."

She spat out in a low voice and took off her clothes without hesitation.

"Undercover Qin Xin Yao, code name—Rooster."

"So you're a rooster," Shen Yuran covered her mouth and laughed.

Qin Weiyang narrowed her eyes but didn't act out.

Shen Yuran saw she wasn't taking the bait and said boringly, "From now on, we're people on the same boat."

"Any information in the future must be shared."

Gao Chang had been standing on the side without saying a word from beginning to end.

Seeing this, Su Yang asked curiously, "Can she fully represent your meaning?"

"Yes," Gao Chang nodded slightly.

This middle-aged uncle who didn't like to talk acted decisively but was not good with words.

Just like a bodyguard beside Shen Yuran.

Only responsible for physical activities.

"Any other questions?" Shen Yuran asked.

"How do I contact you?"

"I'm in Class 1, Grade 1; if there's anything, you can come directly to find me."

Su Yang had many questions in his heart, but he didn't want to get to the bottom of it right now.

Compared to intentions, he wanted to find the treasure more.

Shen Yuran swept her gaze over the two faces and beckoned, "Since there's no problem, let's go."

Su Yang helped Qin Weiyang tidy up her clothes, carried her on his back, and followed, supporting her thighs.

"What do you think?" Qin Weiyang whispered.

"They come with ill intentions..." Su Yang stopped at that.

Even if Qin Weiyang wasn't good at logic, she could see the clues.

Gao Chang and Shen Yuran arrived too coincidentally.

Just like they were timing their arrival at the scene and killing the Butcher when it was at its weakest.

Then they made a fuss and forced the two to reveal their identities.

If the two hadn't said it just now, Gao Chang would have definitely attacked directly and left them here forever.

Su Yang could distinguish the priority; if Qin Weiyang hadn't fallen into a weak state, when would it be a little girl's turn to threaten him?

"What do you plan to do next?" Qin Weiyang asked.

"Cooperate first; we'll talk about the rest after finding the treasure," Su Yang looked up at Shen Yuran's figure.

For some reason, he felt this seemingly sweet girl was a bit strange.

He couldn't say exactly what was strange about her.

"Shine the flashlight here," Shen Yuran ordered.

Qin Weiyang raised her hand, and they saw a copper key the length of an index finger hanging from the Butcher's waist.

"Found you," Shen Yuran beamed with joy and immediately took the key to play with in her hand.

"What is this?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"An important prop leading to the place of treasure," Shen Yuran smiled mysteriously.

Hearing this, Su Yang looked confused, "You mean... the Butcher wasn't guarding the treasure, but this key?"

"Of course, this road leads to another urban legend about Luoshui Middle School," Shen Yuran explained.

Su Yang looked at the pitch-black passage, "How do you know?"

"Heaven's secrets must not be leaked; just follow obediently," Shen Yuran turned and left.

"We agreed to share information; going back on your word so soon?" Su Yang said slowly.

"You can choose not to follow; go out now, no one is stopping you."

Su Yang's footsteps paused, an inexplicable light in his eyes.

Judging from her attitude, these two clearly didn't treat them as allies.

More like tool people.

If what she said was true, then in the subsequent actions, Su Yang would be used as a pawn to probe the bottom.

He knew this routine all too well.

He had used it on other players before.

"Do you believe me?" Su Yang asked.

"What's wrong?" Qin Weiyang felt the change in his emotions.

"My talent is 'Illusion,' right?"

Qin Weiyang was confused by his nonsensical words.

"Of course I know your talent."

"'Deception' talent activated successfully; you have acquired the new talent 'Illusion'."

'Illusion: Construct an illusory world, transmit illusions through eye contact, duration 30 minutes, cooldown 30 minutes, activation condition—snap fingers'.

Qin Weiyang saw the corners of Su Yang's mouth lift slightly, her heart stirred, "Do you have a plan?"

"Not yet, but..."

Su Yang lifted her thighs higher, his eyes shining:

"You just need to believe in me, that's enough!" ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
