Chapter 234: Deception' Failed? Invisible Man!

~7 min read 1,290 words

Qin Weiyang noticed his strangeness and looked over, but found nothing.

"We've been exposed... our subsequent actions will be very passive," she worried.

The brief contact allowed the person behind Shen Yuran to have a rough understanding of the two.

The best result was that the Guardian was also a student.

At least he didn't have too much power.

But if it were a school leader...

Just casually setting up stumbling blocks for them would make it hard to successfully hunt for treasure without violating the rules.

Now their faces had been recognized, and they had used the two to figure out the rules of the urban legend.

In other words, even if the players appearing in the passage weren't the two, it would be others.

The clues could be seen from the time nodes when Shen Yuran and Gao Chang descended.

"This is not only a test, but also an important action to dig out the secrets of this school; thinking about it in the future, I'm afraid it will be very difficult," Su Yang pondered.

Looking at these two corpses on the ground, he now only had one question—

Whether the Guardians were allied.

Assuming treasure hunters were divided according to the twelve zodiac signs, totaling 12 people.

Then there were only 4 Guardians.

The ratio of people was extremely unfair.

Therefore, the rule balance would definitely tilt toward the Guardian side to make up for the disadvantage of fewer people.

Only by twisting into a rope could they have the power to fight the treasure hunters.

And Gao Chang and Shen Yuran...

Were the first knife slashed by the Guardians.

Qin Weiyang realized the seriousness of the problem and urged, "Let's hurry up and get the treasure."

Saying this, she carried Shen Yuran's corpse on her shoulder.

Su Yang thought for a moment and dragged Gao Chang's corpse toward the narrow stone road.

There was no other way now; they had to solve the puzzle first.

"Give me a hand," Qin Weiyang indicated, supporting Shen Yuran's shoulder.

Seeing this, Su Yang gripped the two legs and threw them toward the coffin on the right with force.

"Snap!"

The corpse landed steadily in the groove on the coffin, and the iron chain shook slightly.

In an instant, a cold wind blew, and the two shivered in unison.

"Is it right?" Qin Weiyang cupped her hands and exhaled.

"Men on the left, women on the right; it shouldn't be a problem."

"One more left."

After speaking, the two used all their strength to throw Gao Chang's corpse onto the coffin.

This time the coffin shook much more violently than before.

But the iron chain remained intact.

The next moment, the cold wind became even stronger, the howling wind entering their ears like ghosts reaching out to touch their cheeks, goosebumps rising all over their bodies.

Su Yang and Qin Weiyang retreated to the platform open space, standing and waiting.

"Why is there no movement? Did we do it wrong?" Qin Weiyang didn't understand.

Su Yang observed for a while, frowning.

"Should we... try 'Deception'?"

Looking up at the motionless coffin, he really didn't want to waste time on meaningless waiting.

He had previously summoned sunlight in the passage through 'Words Become Law.'

And acquired the 'Illusion' talent on the road.

From this, it could be seen that this scene space was very likely independent.

That is to say, he could completely shield the influence of the number of people in the world and perform his talent anytime, anywhere.

This guess could also be confirmed from Gao Chang suddenly killing his way into the passage and interrupting the sunlight.

Now Gao Chang and Shen Yuran happened to be dead; a god-given opportunity.

Su Yang had always been worried about whether taking the treasure directly through 'Deception' would affect the acquisition of hidden achievements.

After all, from the current clues, solving the puzzle was the key.

This was also the main reason why he didn't 'lie' after the two died.

"Forget it, let's get the treasure first."

Thinking about it, Su Yang decided to take the initiative.

So he looked at Qin Weiyang beside him and signaled her to step back two steps.

"What are you doing?"

"Soft doesn't work; have to come hard."

Su Yang looked forward and said slowly: "The treasure appears before me."

Just as the words fell, the coffin shook violently.

"Clang!"

The iron chain swayed wildly, the cold wind swept even more fiercely, once gathering into a tornado above the dark river.

Seeing this scene, Su Yang was happy, but followed by a few doubts.

Because he didn't perceive 'Deception' succeeding.

Before he could figure out the reason, a section of the iron chain snapped.

Only to see the two coffins hang down in the same direction, and the coffin lids opened accordingly.

Two skeletons inside came into view, falling down suddenly.

"Splash!"

The skeletons fell into the dark river and were washed away by the rushing water in an instant.

Immediately after, the corpses of Gao Chang and Shen Yuran in the groove fell into the coffins, and the coffin lids slammed shut.

The broken iron chains, under the pull of a mysterious force, slowly aggregated and wrapped around the coffins again.

The sudden event stunned Su Yang and Qin Weiyang simultaneously.

Until everything calmed down, the coffins made a light sound.

As if triggering some mechanism, a small box suddenly popped out from the front end.

"This is..." Qin Weiyang's face showed joy; just as she moved, rapid footsteps came from not far away.

Su Yang's eyelids jumped violently, and he hurriedly shouted: "Grab the box!"

Qin Weiyang looked suspiciously at the direction the footsteps came from, but didn't see anyone.

'Invisibility'?!

There was no time to think now; she immediately activated 'Light Feather,' her figure like a fluttering bird, flying forward to take the small box first.

The moment the box left the body, the cold wind became even more ferocious, the tornado raged in all directions, and even the dome trembled because of it.

Qin Weiyang flew back; just as her soles touched the ground, a gust of wind struck from behind.

"Dare to grab my things?"

Her heart hardened, she turned around and kicked out with a mid-air flying kick.

"Bang!"

On the surface, she kicked into thin air, but in reality, it hit the target.

Only a groan was heard, and dust stirred up in the empty space two meters away.

Su Yang aimed at the position and threw the folding knife with force!

"Ssh—"

"Ah!!"

The scream echoed, and the invisible person fled in panic, the footsteps moving away.

Qin Weiyang made a move to chase, but Su Yang stopped her: "Don't chase; be careful of a trap."

She looked at the passage unwillingly, looked down at the box, and said coldly: "Spare his life for now."

Judging from the tone, this invisible person was undoubtedly a male player.

She never imagined that there was a tail following behind them.

Su Yang took the box, opened it slowly, and found a key split into two halves lying quietly inside.

One end of the key protruded, and the other end was concave.

"It can be used when spliced together," Qin Weiyang pushed hard, and a silver-white key became complete.

Su Yang examined it in his hand and said solemnly: "We should go."

"Hmm, I'll go open the door," Qin Weiyang nodded.

Before she could take two steps, her wrist was gripped.

She couldn't help but look back, casting a suspicious gaze.

"I mean, we should go back to the dormitory," Su Yang said.

"Now?" Qin Weiyang was extremely puzzled.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
