Chapter 235: Crazy 'Deception'! Bypassing the Rules!

~7 min read 1,379 words

"We ignored the time; don't forget, the dormitory checks beds at 11:30," Su Yang reminded.

"It won't be too late to go back after getting the treasure," Qin Weiyang said.

Su Yang shook his head; he split the key into two halves, stuffed one into Qin Weiyang's hand, and tucked the other into his pocket.

"There's no time; Wang Qi summoned the Butcher after 10 o'clock at night; we spent a lot of time dealing with the Butcher, and it's very likely past 11 o'clock now," Su Yang explained.

Qin Weiyang looked at the key in her hand, feeling helpless.

She looked at the locked iron door, eyes filled with longing.

Even if she was reluctant, she had to embark on the return journey now.

Once discovered not being in the dormitory during the bed check, they would inevitably be punished.

What kind of chain reaction this would trigger was still unknown.

"Are we just giving up like this?" Qin Weiyang said unwillingly.

She had a premonition that they were not far from the treasure.

Passing through this door, what was behind it was very likely the treasure's location.

"We know too little about this school; what's behind this door is very likely another urban legend; we don't have relevant information, and it's easy to stumble."

"Furthermore, the Guardians already know we are in the passage, and they will likely arrange multiple rounds of bed checks."

"You saw the invisible person just now; there must be more than these few players acting tonight; we might as well wait for them to collect more information and come back when the time is ripe."

"Anyway, the key is with you and me; unless this group of greedy people wipes us out, don't even think about entering the next level," Su Yang said.

They had the right to speak and the initiative; what were they afraid of falling into a passive position?

The most important thing now was to return to the dormitory and get through the current difficulty first.

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

Su Yang thought for a moment and said lightly: "The invisible person will definitely tell the trusted players the information obtained tonight after going out."

"At the same time, the Guardian controlling the puppet won't stop; that group of people definitely wants to watch the show of 'dogs biting dogs'."

"Using their own way to treat them; he likes fishing, so I'll give him a lesson too."

He knew well the principle of 'an innocent man is guilty of his crime.'

To take a step back, even if they got the treasure now, they would definitely be targeted by both sides.

Because the task of killing the Guardian hadn't been completed, it didn't count as clearing the level.

Only by achieving both could it be considered a victory.

Qin Weiyang looked at the confident Su Yang, an indescribable strangeness appearing in her eyes.

"I'll listen to you."

Su Yang returned with her, seeing dots of blood on the road, not hard to guess these were the 'footprints' of the invisible person's escape.

"Not much blood flowed; shouldn't have hit a vital point," Su Yang speculated.

"I think the rat tattoo should have been given to him," Qin Weiyang complained.

Su Yang laughed dumbly; he had encountered the 'Invisibility' talent before and knew how difficult it was to deal with.

At that time, if not for external help, it would have been hard to kill Zhou Han.

Now he finally understood why 'Deception' couldn't be activated.

It turned out there was a third party at the scene.

Soon, the two returned to the entrance, and Qin Weiyang climbed up the stairs.

Su Yang looked at her graceful back, his heart stirred, "Wait for me for a while after you go up."

"Okay."

After she returned to the lecture hall, Su Yang turned back along the original path.

He returned to the position where the Butcher died and said in a low voice: "The treasure appears before me."

A few seconds passed, and there was no movement.

"Hmm?"

Su Yang felt suspicious and spoke again: "I have a folding knife."

"'Deception' activated successfully; you have acquired a brand-new folding knife."

The next second, an iron knife appeared in his palm.

"I have the key to the third iron door."

"'Deception' activated successfully; you have acquired a key."

A golden key appeared in his hand abruptly.

"Sure enough, there's a third level..." Su Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

"I have the key to the fourth iron door."

"'Deception' activated successfully; you have acquired a key."

The key to the fourth door was white overall, shining brilliantly under the light.

"I have the key to the fifth iron door."

No movement.

"Four urban legends?" Su Yang touched his chin.

After these verifications, 'Deception' itself had no problem.

Perhaps the lie he told was wrong.

Need to change his thinking.

Thinking of this, Su Yang said solemnly: "I appear five meters in front of the treasure."

Still no movement.

"Strange..."

According to normal thinking, if the treasure specifically referred to something.

There shouldn't be a problem with him saying that.

But why couldn't it exert any effect?

Could it be limited by the rules?

This was the first time he had done something like taking the final item of a dungeon directly through 'Deception.'

He was used to the omnipotence of 'Deception,' but this was the first time he had hit a wall within the applicable scope.

"Forget it, since I can't take the treasure directly, let's have some insurance."

Su Yang looked at the corpse lying on the ground, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly,

"The Butcher is still alive and has become my slave, obeying my orders."

"'Deception' activated successfully; you have resurrected the Butcher."

The next moment, 'clicking' sounds came from the body of the strange entity whose neck had been twisted.

Before long, it opened its blood-red eyes abruptly and stood up slowly.

Its sturdy body was still full of pressure.

But now it couldn't give Su Yang half a bit of fear.

Only to see it walk slowly to Su Yang, kneel on one knee, and speak in human language, "Master!"

"Guard this place; don't let anything pass," Su Yang ordered.

"Yes!"

"Also, these two keys are your things, not mine," Su Yang handed over the golden key and the white key again.

"'Deception' activated successfully; the ownership of the keys has changed."

The Butcher held the two keys tightly in its hands, as if it had found a treasure.

"The keys are not allowed to flow into anyone's hands; you must protect them with your life," Su Yang instructed.

"Yes!"

The Butcher obeyed, turned, and retreated.

Finally hiding, merging with the darkness.

Seeing this, Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

He did this to conduct an experiment—

Whether the summoned things would disappear when the number of people increased and 'Deception' failed.

The Butcher was originally a strange entity derived from the rule-limited background; doing it this way might bypass the rules themselves.

"Like playing dirty, then let's see who's dirtier," Su Yang sneered inwardly.

He had already laid out the chessboard and was just waiting for the pieces to fall.

The keys were all in his hands, and this indestructible iron door could be estimated to need a missile to blow open.

He wanted to see if this group of players had the strength to open the door without the keys.

"Su Yang, it's 11:15; hurry up!"

At this time, Qin Weiyang's anxious voice came from behind.

"Coming!"

Su Yang climbed up the stairs and returned to the lecture hall.

Breathing the fresh air outside, his tense heartstrings couldn't help but relax a bit.

The two came to the second floor, looking at the outside through the window in the moonlight.

Only to see several patrolling security guards outside the lecture hall, standing in front of a trash can smoking.

"Use your 'Illusion' to confuse them," Qin Weiyang suggested.

'Illusion'?

He lost this talent the moment he came out from inside.

Su Yang's eyes flickered, "Cooldown isn't over."

"Then what to do?" Qin Weiyang frowned.

"Very simple," Su Yang's mouth lifted slightly, "Break through directly!" ===== CHAPTER 236 =====
