Chapter 290: She Is Not My Personal Property!

~7 min read 1,291 words

The moment those two characters were spoken, the scene suddenly fell into silence.

Both of them, each harboring hidden motives, were calculating Su Yang's intention.

Indeed, the other's scent perception was extremely sharp, managing to find an answer from the broken fragments of Luoshi.

Liao Chen's Corner of Eye twitched slightly at this moment; he hadn't expected the secret would one day be exposed in this manner.

But with reality before them, he said, "'Trickery'? You don't mean I can change the rules by deceiving people, do you?"

"I have to say, your imagination is truly boundless."

"But you seem to have overlooked the most important point: the Checkpoint's rules aren't man‑made."

Su Yang, seeing his demeanor like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, had already anticipated this.

After all, this kind of Innate Talent is overpowered, changing reality through belief.

Anyone possessing such Hole Cards would not dare to reveal them casually.

"You don't have to admit it; it's fine. The facts have long been laid out, each knows what's in their heart," Su Yang smiled without a hint of concern.

He then added, "The reason I can be certain is that I once saw a similar Innate Talent in a game."

"That player's Innate Talent also obtained everything they wanted through deception."

"The difference is, you can only use it to change the rules within the game, whereas he can acquire everything he wants through Words Follow Law."

"These past two days, I've felt a sense of déjà vu, and I didn't expect to encounter an impostor here."

Hm?

Qin Weiyang's heart fluttered slightly, thinking silently, "Is there such a bizarre Innate Talent?"

Words Follow Law, placed within the highly restrictive Death Game, is undoubtedly an overpowered existence.

"Is that so?" Liao Chen said with a surprised chuckle, "Now that things have come to this, how do you intend to win?"

Su Yang paced slowly to the center of the tomb mound, bent down and picked up the Tang sword lying on the ground.

Drawing the sword for inspection, a flash of cold light shimmered like a raging wave.

"Fine sword!"

He waved it casually a couple of times, discovering the blade's weight was not light.

At least for his former self, it was hard to wield it smoothly.

But now it fits perfectly.

Su Yang stared at the neatly arranged Tombstones beside him, raised the sword and split one Tombstone cleanly in two.

It sliced through like cutting tofu, with no resistance.

Cold Light flashed, and the half Tombstone fell to the ground.

The moment it touched the soil, the blood‑red characters on it instantly melted away like spring snow.

"Fake?" Qin Weiyang instantly understood and immediately joined the action.

Although she only had a Small Knife, her movements were extremely precise.

She raised the knife and let the Tombstone slide down slowly.

Seeing this, Qin Weiyang was convinced beyond doubt.

Liao Chen indeed possessed the Innate Talent to alter rules.

This Checkpoint fundamentally had no such Tombstone!

Everything was fabricated by him.

To be precise, it was information relayed orally by Xue Yong and Lai Siyiao.

Then the lie was turned into reality.

"Are there such miraculous Innate Talents in the world?" Qin Weiyang couldn't help but feel a chill in their heart.

She couldn't help but look at the continuously slashing silhouette, exhaling a lingering breath with lingering fear.

Had Su Yang not spotted the clue, all treasure seekers tonight would have had to answer here.

She was just a bit curious...

Since Su Yang encountered such a bizarre player, how did he manage to escape alive?

Or rather, how did he win?

"What are you doing?" Liao Chen asked.

"Looking for the key," Su Yang replied.

"How could the key be inside a Tombstone? Did a donkey kick your Brain?" Tang Hui mocked.

Su Yang merely smiled, offering no response.

In his view, Tang Hui and Liao Chen certainly still had Hole Cards.

Now that the veil has been lifted, he either stubbornly refuses to admit it to the death, or forces himself to continue using Trickery.

Regardless of which, Su Yang has a countermeasure.

What he now intends to do is to act as if oblivious and locate the key.

"Let him search; even if he gets it, it's a Useless effort," Liao Chen said calmly.

The initiative remains in their hands, and they are not at all hurried.

In comparison, Qin Weiyang seemed much more impatient, and their movements were especially crude.

Soon after, Su Yang's sword consecutively split two Tombstones.

A familiar key suddenly fell down.

"Found you!"

Su Yang's face lit up with joy as he slowly picked it up.

Then, under the gaze of several people, he inserted the key into the hole of the final door and turned it slowly.

Boom—

Accompanied by a buzz, the long‑sealed Stone Gate finally opened.

Billowing smoke and dust raged out like a sky of yellow sand, enveloping Su Yang's Silhouette.

A chill of damp air slapped the face, the three retreated together, looking uncertainly toward the scene inside the gate.

As the smoke cleared, two humanoid recesses suddenly came into sight.

Seeing this, Tang Hui let out a long sigh, his face regaining a Smile, "Sorry, the Treasure you've been thinking about has already vanished."

Su Yang's previously very confident demeanor had indeed frightened him.

He had thought the other party had found the hiding place of the golden Buddha statue.

But it turned out to be only a bluff.

Liao Chen's heavy Stone on his mind slowly settled, and he said, "Su Yang, how is it?"

Facing the two's mockery, Su Yang furrowed his Brow.

He immediately reached out to touch the recess, feeling its smoothness, and his heart stirred.

"Indeed…"

Qin Weiyang, guarding the rear against the two, asked, "How is it?"

"The Treasure has indeed been moved long ago," Su Yang said.

Tang Hui burst into a Laugh at the words, "First Place day I already brought the Treasure to a place none of you could imagine."

"My conditions still work; hand over Qin Weiyang, and I'll let you glimpse the Treasure's true form!"

"There is only one chance!"

Su Yang looked at the recess's depth and height, and a realization dawned.

"The missing… person has been found."

Lin Siying and Ye Wanjun remained nowhere to be seen; they were not inside the Burial Coffin of the second Checkpoint.

They are the two most crucial figures in the background.

If one wishes to break the deadlock, they must be found.

Now that the general outline of the Treasure is seen, clarity instantly arrived, and Luoshi finally closed perfectly.

"How is it? This deal is reasonable, right? You have only one minute to consider, and I won't wait after it expires." Tang Hui said proudly.

"Close your stinky Mouth!" Qin Weiyang said coldly.

The two hold deep grudges; even without being in a Death Game, they will inevitably split life and death.

Su Yang turned around, calmly saying, "She is not my personal property; I have no authority to decide."

"Also, as long as the Treasure remains in this school, I can get out!"

"Oh?" Tang Hui's interest sparked instantly, "I want to see how you'll find it!"

Liao Chen sneered, "Once Eternal Night passes, you will have no more chance, now…"

He looked down at his watch, "Only three hours remain until sunrise."

"Enough." Su Yang strolled back to his original spot, and hoisted Ruan Ziliang's corpse with one hand.

He then went to the center of the mound and set it down.

"What is he…?" Liao Chen was very curious about Su Yang's action.

A proper proposal not accepted, and then running to beg a Dead Person?
