Chapter 273

Facing this former opponent, she did not just stand by and watch, but instead assumed a defensive stance.

Always on guard.

However, just at this moment, a whisper reached her ears: "Don't be nervous, we're on the same side."

"Hmm... hmm?" Qin Weiyang was suddenly stunned.

Since when did the Butcher become one of their own?

Could it be that she was hallucinating?

Or was it that Su Yang had secretly activated his talent?

The scene that followed left her particularly puzzled.

She saw the Butcher slash at 'Dong Ya's' head with a blade, successfully tearing off the facial skin and hanging it on his body.

He then gouged out the eyes that had burst out and ate them.

"Crunch—"

Accompanied by the teeth-aching sound of chewing, the atmosphere on the field suddenly turned eerie.

Li Zhangge, standing to the side, did not know what Su Yang's talent was, and at this moment, he could only choose to believe his own eyes.

The terrifying, fearsome monster was now appearing right before them; although its image was vastly different from the bloated one in his memory.

But the cold aura and that iconic large mouth were exactly the same.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but look suspiciously at the calm-faced Su Yang.

Could it be...

"Su Yang, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing?" Xue Yong was completely stunned and questioned him loudly.

"Killing a person who deserves to die, what's the problem?" Su Yang asked in return.

"You killed him, how are we going to pass the next stage?" Xue Yong's heart went cold.

"Instead of thinking about others, you'd better think about how you're going to survive first," Su Yang said with a smile.

Xue Yong looked at this face, feeling it was both terrifying and unfamiliar.

Compared to the Butcher, the Su Yang of this moment was even more dangerous.

"Zhangge, Weiyang, get to work," Su Yang said.

Once these words were spoken, the two nodded and walked toward the 'Faceless Man'.

The horse-faced man to the side hadn't even figured out the situation when a sharp scream suddenly came from behind him.

He turned his head abruptly and saw that the Butcher had already appeared right in front of him.

Before he could react, the butcher's knife landed on his head.

In his moment of peril, the horse-faced man forcibly twisted his body, but he still didn't escape the attack.

"Pfft—"

Blood sprayed out, and his chest was immediately struck by a blade, the wound deep enough to see bone.

The horse-faced man let out a muffled groan and activated his talent to repair his injuries.

Just as he was retreating violently, he saw the Butcher move even faster, flashing to his side as the butcher's knife slashed down once more.

"Swish!"

The blade landed on the ground, carving a trench straight into it.

"That was close!"

No sooner had the horse-faced man felt relieved than his back collided with a hard object.

"Don't run anymore, you can't get away..."

Before he could react, a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of his neck, and then the scene before his eyes quickly blurred.

"Slap!"

His body fell straight to the ground.

Su Yang put away his folding knife and ordered: "Kill him!"

The Butcher strode forward and immediately chopped off his head with one strike.

Watching this bloody scene, Ruan Ziliang swallowed hard with difficulty.

The look he cast toward Su Yang held a bit more unfamiliarity and fear.

This classmate with a face like polished jade had always given people the impression of being gentle and kind.

But now that he had witnessed his cruel methods, he finally realized...

It turned out that beneath an innocent appearance hid such a decisive and ruthless heart.

Moreover, he seemed to hear from their conversation that they were looking for some kind of 'treasure'?

"You killed them all..." Xue Yong gritted his teeth, knowing full well what his own fate would be.

With Su Yang's thunderous methods, wanting to survive was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

At this very moment, he had to bring out his only bargaining chip and reliance: "Spare my life, and I'll give you the diary!"

Su Yang looked back: "Too late."

"Don't you want to know about that past? Don't you want to know who set that fire?" Xue Yong asked hurriedly.

"I do," Su Yang said as such.

The short sentence seemed like a straw to clutch at; Xue Yong felt joy and was just about to speak.

But he was ruthlessly interrupted by Su Yang: "I don't want to anymore; the answer isn't important to me."

Xue Yong looked into his indifferent eyes and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar: "You don't want the treasure either?"

"And the secret to passing the next stage, you don't want to know that either?"

Facing his desire to survive, Su Yang just smiled: "I'm not so pathetic that I need to rely on someone else's 'charity' to clear the stage."

"Since it's a game, there's always a way to pass."

"There's a shortcut in the diary, but I know this is just your delaying tactic; in reality, you can't produce the diary at all."

"If I'm not mistaken, you destroyed it as soon as you finished reading it, right?"

How did he know?

Xue Yong's heart skipped a beat: "The content is all in my head; I can tell you everything I know!"

"Who knows if you'll deliberately set a trap? You have no credibility left with me."

"Besides... compared to you, I'd rather trust the other mole."

As he said this, Su Yang took out a lighter.

Xue Yong watched his actions, not understanding.

The next moment, Su Yang walked up to the 'Faceless Man' who was drenched in gasoline and said: "She has also read the diary. What do you think she would do for a lifesaver she wants to cooperate with?"

Seeing this, Xue Yong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted: "If you dare to light the fire, she's dead for sure!"

Originally, Su Yang was still a bit indecisive, fearing that doing so would burn Lai Siyao to death along with it.

But now, seeing the other party's anxious face, his heart was set, and he raised his hand to light the fire.

"Boom!"

The fire suddenly ignited, enveloping Lai Siyao into a human torch.

A burnt, foul smell immediately filled the air.

Seeing this, Xue Yong's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, muttering constantly: "It's over, everything is over..."

Su Yang watched the fire burn quietly; everything was under his control.

It was just this one point he hadn't been sure about.

The reason was none other than that he had originally thought the 'Faceless Man' would exist as an independent entity.

But it had instead sought out a body to possess.

If he lit this fire, the consequences were unknown.

However, the benefit was that Su Yang didn't need to waste words to turn Lai Siyao.

Compared to Xue Yong, who used her, she would definitely be more willing to trust him, who was trying to save her.

Accompanied by the 'sizzling' sound of burning, the originally flat, knife-cut face began to swell.

The facial features gradually appeared one by one, first the eyes, nose, then the mouth and ears.

When the original appearance reappeared, the flames around the body gradually extinguished.

"She's alive..." Li Zhangge said in surprise.

The next moment, Lai Siyao slowly opened her eyes.

She looked confusedly at the three people before her, each with different expressions: "You all..."

Once these words were spoken, Xue Yong knew the outcome was set and took off running.

He used his 'invisibility' talent, and his body disappeared from sight.

But the ropes on his body were still there; no matter how he ran, his target remained clear.

Su Yang had anticipated this long ago and pointed a finger: "Kill him."

Since the Faceless Man had already disappeared, there was no need or meaning for him to survive.

The Butcher rushed forward with long strides and grabbed the invisible Xue Yong.

Ignoring his wailing pleas for mercy, as the blade fell, it thoroughly ended his life.

Listening to the shrill screams coming from his ears, Lai Siyao trembled subconsciously.

At this moment, a large hand stroked her head, and a soft voice came:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
