Chapter 479

Hearing these words, a complex look appeared in Yin Yun's eyes.

She said, "I'll help you up."

"No need, it's already healed," Su Yang stood up and stretched his muscles, and Lin Yang's provocative words immediately reached his ears.

"Grandpa Lin is here, come and chase me!"

Seeing him draw away some of the firepower, the remaining pursuit was still closing in step by step.

Su Yang looked out through a hole in the wall.

He saw hundreds of people approaching in this direction, and Xiong Yu was standing with a man with a dull expression, her eyes filled with coldness.

"The one beside her... should be Fan Rui," Su Yang whispered.

"Then what about the last one?" Yin Yun asked.

Su Yang didn't answer immediately; he combined what she had said with the current situation of the various Hall Masters defecting and analyzed it all.

"Why did Su Kang fake his death to escape? First of all, the players hadn't entered the game when the plan was implemented," Su Yang muttered.

"Didn't he say it? He wanted to monopolize the Gold Mountain and wipe out all the warlords," Yin Yun said.

"That's only one of the reasons; he's been silent for a full twenty years, it definitely won't be that simple," Su Yang shook his head.

"Then what about us now..."

"The people from the Six Harmonies Association still haven't come to rescue us; it's highly likely Zhao Xian has also defected," Su Yang said with a solemn expression.

Right now, they were trapped in a dead end, stuck in this small factory building; being surrounded and killed was only a matter of time.

Xiong Yu wasn't stupid; she would never give them a chance to use their talents.

"You just said... Xiong Yu was deliberately dragging her feet and not making a move; what did you mean?" Yin Yun asked curiously.

As soon as these words were spoken, a flash of inspiration struck Su Yang's brain!

"'Barrier'! I remember now!"

"What?"

Su Yang's heart couldn't help but pound; he vaguely remembered encountering a similar situation when he was 'betting' against Xiao Wenxue that day.

It was the same feeling of having something added to his brain.

It was particularly similar to the feeling just now.

At first, he thought it was the shackles inherent to the 'betting' itself, which on the surface was 'contract spirit'.

To the point where both he and Xiao Wenxue were unable to move.

Only when the bet was over could they regain their freedom.

Now, Yin Yun's words suddenly pulled him back to that day in the past.

"I missed the most critical detail..."

"'Betting' itself only cares about the result, the process isn't important, and once the bet takes effect, the loser must die; this is the result of the talent having evolved once."

"Before this, Xiao Wenxue's 'betting' wasn't like this; at least the result didn't involve life or death."

"Assuming he wins the bet, he can obtain some kind of reward, or perhaps a temporary means of control, then he wouldn't be stupid enough to stay in place and wait."

"Others cannot interfere with the bet; this in itself is a paradox."

"If you bet with your own life, how can you just watch and wait for the result to occur without interfering in the process?" Su Yang said.

Yin Yun combined what Huang Hua had said and cleared it up section by section, then suddenly looked up: "You mean... Xiao Wenxue's 'betting' itself was just an invisible contract, and there was no such thing as restricting freedom?"

"To be precise... once the 'bet' takes effect, he must personally act to win the bet, rather than stupidly standing in place waiting for a fabricated result," Su Yang said.

"So you think..."

Su Yang stared at Fan Rui and nodded, "He was also at the scene that day, accompanying us for two whole days!"

'Barrier'?

Yin Yun sensed something amiss: "But that's not right; the talent's duration shouldn't be that long. I remember you didn't move for two whole days."

"This involves a third person," Su Yang said, enunciating each word.

"You already have a candidate in mind?"

"More or less, but we still need to add fuel to the fire for them!" Su Yang nodded slightly.

"Within the range of the barrier, things and people from the outside are not allowed in, and people inside are not allowed out, but it can guarantee absolute safety, and there can be no casualties inside..." After Su Yang's hint, Yin Yun understood their conspiracy.

"That's right, this is the reason she didn't make a move at first," Su Yang nodded.

Xiong Yu stood on the opposite side of him; how could she not want to kill him?

Spouting so much nonsense, on the surface, was to break Su Yang's psychological defenses, but in reality, she was plotting a much larger conspiracy.

"Wait!" Su Yang suddenly woke up.

"What's wrong?" Yin Yun was startled by his sudden outburst.

"Restrictions!"

"What restrictions?"

Su Yang stared fixedly at Xiong Yu, then smiled with relief, "Her talent is the same as mine; both have restrictions on space and the number of people!"

"Be specific."

"Everyone has weaknesses; some people are afraid of bugs, some are naturally afraid of heights, and some are afraid of the dark. Among a hundred people, you can always find a few who are similar or identical."

Yin Yun suddenly thought of something, "So she can't accurately find the people she wants to influence in a crowded place through their weaknesses?"

"Exactly!" A curve appeared at the corner of Su Yang's mouth.

Through contact, he finally understood Xiong Yu's intention.

It wasn't that she didn't want to kill Su Yang, but that she couldn't!

And she had to be inside the barrier to influence Su Kang and the others at all times.

Once the barrier dissipated, everything she had done would be for nothing.

This was why she had walked straight up to Su Yang's gun barrel and spouted nonsense.

At that time, even if Su Yang had pulled the trigger, there wouldn't have been any blood.

"Hmm?" Yin Yun's expression changed, "The people from the Qinglong Gang have stopped!"

Su Yang looked over, and indeed, the people who had been surrounding them stopped their steps, retreating instead of advancing.

Seeing this, Su Yang's pupils constricted slightly, "Xiong Yu is about to act!"

He saw her pat Su Kang on the shoulder, a rich murderous intent erupting from her eyes.

Once Su Kang nodded and left, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

"How much longer until your talent cools down?" Su Yang asked.

"Fifteen minutes..."

"It's too late."

Huang Hua's whereabouts were unknown at this time; with his 'deduction' ability, it was impossible for him not to know that the three of them were in danger.

But there were only two possibilities for why he hadn't come to rescue them—

Either he was also trapped.

Or he was being held back by another player.

"Based on the above reasoning, Zhao Xian must not be within the range of control, but his whereabouts are unknown," Su Yang frowned.

Before Su Yang could analyze anything, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Boom..."

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out, the entire factory area shook, and several tanks and armored vehicles were blown away in an instant.

"Ah..."

Screams echoed through the universe, and everywhere there were scenes of limbs flying.

Fire soared into the sky, and the tremors made the entire factory area tremble.

"Landmines?" Yin Yun was shocked.

"No, this is the explosive Su Kang buried in advance!" Su Yang said.

Xiong Yu intended to wipe everyone out in one go, not just the Six Harmonies Association and the Floating Life Business Association, but also Li Yongfeng and the warlords.

She wanted to kill them all!

The terrifying shock spread all the way, and people living in the city who felt this disturbance were all chilled to the bone.

However, it was precisely because of this explosion that Su Yang's talent was successfully realized!

'Deception Progress: 74532/261952'.

'Deception Progress: 72127/261952'.

"'Deception' successfully activated, earthquake appears!"

"'Deception' successfully activated, the outside warlords officially invade Jinshan City!"
