Chapter 295: Tell me... did you lie to me?

~7 min read 1,262 words

Tang Hui, blood filling his mouth, looked at that hateful, loathsome face and said in a deep voice, "What does it matter if you kill me?"

"Treasure is only one; are you confident you can handle two strange artifacts plus a treasure seeker?"

Qin Weiyang's dropped Finger Claw suddenly halted, eyes flickering, "Even when death is at hand, you still want to provoke?"

Tang Hui, seeing the situation, steadied his mind, spat a mouthful of blood foam, "If what I said is wrong, then why did you stop?"

"What are the conditions for Dead Person Resurrection?" Qin Weiyang asked.

"If you cooperate with me and kill Su Yang, I'll tell you." Tang Hui opened his mouth.

"Speak!" Qin Weiyang suddenly increased the force.

Tang Hui's Brain kept calculating how to turn him into an ally.

Indeed, Qin Weiyang is a fated enemy, harboring countless hatred.

But before the situation, even the greatest grudges can be temporarily set aside.

Compared to revenge, he wants to survive more.

Su Yang is the greatest enemy.

Not a single one!

"What's the hurry? As long as you agree to help me take him down, I will not only tell you everything, but also help you resurrect the person you wish to resurrect." Tang Hui threw an Olive Branch.

"Do you have a way?" Qin Weiyang's eyes were full of suspicion.

"Of course, under the heavens, besides me, have you ever seen a second Death and Rebirth person?" Tang Hui said so.

The taste of crawling out of that cold Glass Jar, he will never forget in this life.

Since Qin Weiyang wants to pursue the Resurrection secret, it means he must have some attachment.

People, when alone abroad, fear the word 'attachment' most.

Especially when playing many games, watching familiar players fall one by one.

This emotion will peak at some moment.

And thus becomes a weakness.

"You seem not to have figured out who is the hunter and who is the prey," Qin Weiyang slammed a fist down!

"Bang!"

Tang Hui let out a painful roar, teeth flying sideways.

But the next moment he grinned, "If you wanted to kill, you would have killed already; why drag it out so long?"

"Let me tell you, when I resurrected, I saw tens of thousands of Dead Persons, all stored in jars."

"And the one responsible for them… is the Administrator!"

Minotaur?

Su Yang was rather surprised to hear this news.

In his view, the Minotaur, besides daily managing prison order, only has an Execution task.

Now learning this, Su Yang's brow involuntarily furrowed.

"So anyone has a chance at Resurrection?" Qin Weiyang asked.

"Of course not; such a Probability Event, how could it be like a lottery?" Tang Hui said vaguely.

"Speak quickly!" Qin Weiyang urged, hands trembling uncontrollably.

His voice unintentionally grew louder by a few degrees.

Obviously, their patience was almost worn away.

But this scene, in Tang Hui's view, was a turning point.

"Are you scared?" Tang Hui looked at their trembling hand.

He then laughed, "As I said, as long as you work with me against Su Yang, I will tell you everything I know."

"I guarantee, with my help, you can resurrect the person you want, including…"

"Family!"

A hint of emotion flashed in Qin Weiyang's eyes; the murderous intent on the face lessened, and struggle increased.

Su Yang, seeing this, narrowed his eyes, "Don't listen to his nonsense; if Resurrection could be artificially controlled, the prison would have been chaotic long ago."

Tang Hui did not rebut, only asked, "Do you choose to trust someone who has experienced Resurrection, or trust someone who has never died?"

"If he possesses Resurrection ability, would he still fear death?" Su Yang shouted.

Logically this makes no sense; Tang Hui merely wanted to unsettle Qin Weiyang at the last moment, just to stall.

At those words, Qin Weiyang suddenly raised a fist high, then slammed it down!

But at that moment, a sudden commotion rose from behind.

Looking back, he saw a dozen or so dead souls carrying a dazzling Golden Light Buddha statue returning.

"Treasure?!" Qin Weiyang felt a joy inside.

But after seeing the true form of the Treasure, he chilled half a step.

The Buddha statue was as tall as a person, radiating brilliant Golden Light.

In size, accommodating two corpses was no problem.

That means the Treasure exists in only one copy.

Only one treasure seeker can achieve Clearance!

Tang Hui, seeing the fist linger, said, "Did you see? He has been using you all along."

"From start to finish, Su Yang only treated you as a point‑and‑shoot weapon."

"He never considered your fate or ending, nor regarded you as a partner."

"If you kill me, he will immediately have the butcher and the faceless one act."

You've seen this kind of burn‑the‑bridge after crossing the river routine often?

Listening to the words that entered her ears, Qin Weiyang's eyes flickered, and her gaze toward Su Yang grew more solemn.

Tang Hui saw it work, immediately added a Fire, "But I'm different; I am a Guardian, you are a treasure hunter, we belong to different camps."

"There is no conflict of interest."

"I have a way to achieve a win‑win."

"We clear together, go out together, and find a way to resurrect the person you care about."

"Why wouldn't we do it?"

"Why cooperate with such selfish, self‑serving people whose whole Brain is full of scheming?"

"Think carefully; if you kill me, everything will be lost."

Su Yang listened to these words, remained silent, and did not refute.

He just quietly stared at Qin Weiyang.

This choice is crucial, enough to see a person clearly.

If she chooses to cooperate with Tang Hui, Su Yang will no longer hold back.

Past bonds are like a gust of wind, blowing through then dispersing.

He chose to have Qin Weiyang personally execute Tang Hui; the purpose was not only to eliminate his inner demon, but also to see what she thinks from it.

In front of Desire and reason, which prevails?

At this moment, Qin Weiyang slowly let go, stood up, and looked toward Su Yang.

"You said… you have a way to find a second Treasure?"

"To be precise, it's the other side of the Treasure," Su Yang explained.

Qin Weiyang pondered briefly, and asked, "…Can we go out together?"

"I can't guarantee it, but we can try," Su Yang said calmly.

Qin Weiyang fell silent upon hearing it.

Tang Hui exclaimed excitedly, "Did you hear? He's been lying to you; there's no way to achieve a win‑win in the game's Clearance."

"There is only one Treasure; that is an indisputable fact!"

Qin Weiyang slowly lifted her head and said, "Your Innate Talent isn't 'Illusion,' is it?"

Su Yang clearly hadn't expected her to ask that at this moment.

"You haven't seen the Treasure, so naturally you can't create the Treasure's Illusion."

"Tang Hui has seen it; if you just casually fabricate, he can tell at a glance whether it's a false illusion."

"So you have never used your Innate Talent from start to finish."

"You made me believe you, but you have hidden something from me."

Su Yang looked at her serious face, without a word.

Qin Weiyang bit her lower lip and asked, "Lin Yang is your First Place friend in the prison, I am the second."

"We've been through so much together, yet you seem never to have told me the truth."

"Friends shouldn't hide things from each other."

"So please tell me…"

"Did you lie to me?"
