Chapter 690: Su Yang Self‑Destruct? Sharing Intelligence!
The bell toll reverberated, lingering endlessly.
When the flags were lowered and the drums fell silent, Tang Youning finally looked up, gazing at the Cloth Bag on the table, deep in thought.
Beside them, Zhai Sixin's face showed curiosity, and she couldn't help asking, "Su Xiong's reliance is just what's inside here?"
"From its shape, it seems to be a... head?"
Hmm?
The remark instantly drew the attention of the other players.
The bloodstains on the Cloth Bag had long dried, and the color had oxidized from deep crimson to a brown tinged with black.
"It seems Su Xiong found a remarkable Luoshi inside the Stone Gate; why not reveal it and open our eyes?" Tang Youning suggested.
Su Yang heard that and let out a light Laugh, "Brother Tang, you are rushing into a Death Challenge."
"You think you can judge my guilt with just a Brain? You really don't take us seriously," Tang Youning scoffed.
"'You all'?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow, "So during the time I was inside, it seems you all secretly formed an alliance?"
"It's not really an alliance, just that we simply can't stand your manner," Tang Youning said.
Li Zhenhua pointed at the Cloth Bag and said gravely, "Mr. Su first proposed Intelligence sharing, yet today you monopolize it alone; don't you think that's overstepping?"
"Exactly," Liang Kaiqi snorted coldly, "You clearly have a Treasure hidden on you but stay silent, toy with us in circles, and even caused Huang Zhenzhong's death!"
Zhai Sixin followed up, "After our unanimous discussion, we seriously suspect you have other motives, such as deliberately concealing to evade the killer's identity!"
Yu Meng sat silently beside them, but her slightly displeased expression plainly displayed her attitude.
The five people at the table, to put it bluntly, were a bit too much alike.
But they basically stood on the same front.
As they said, Su Yang's action caused them massive losses.
Coupled with Su Yang's look of having the victory in hand, it further cemented this 'guilt'.
"Wait..." Su Yang pondered briefly, then looked at Liang Kaiqi with a laughing gaze, "You just said... I caused Huang Zhenzhong's death?"
"Isn't that so?"
"Then may I ask, when I mentioned searching for Treasure, who among you asked for the specific details?"
"Also, Brother Tang, when I said I'd trade a letter for Silver Coin with you, I selectively ignored it to prevent gaining greater benefit."
"When we reached the Stone Gate, you took the Treasure out to verify on your own, inviting lethal intent yet pinned the mess on my Brain."
"Moreover, even if I had revealed the Treasure from the start, with three choosing two combinations, do you have a hundred percent certainty to hit it in one try?"
"Or as the saying goes, any difficulty or disaster is self‑inflicted, with not a hair's worth of relation to others."
"Huang Zhenzhong's death... I am deeply grieved, and you blind ones didn't see the instigator sitting right beside us?"
"None of my business!" Su Yang said lightly.
Tang Youning's face darkened; just as he was about to retort, a huge bang rang out,
"Bang!"
Liang Kaiqi furiously slammed the table, glaring, "Then why did you close the door? Isn't it because of a thief's guilty conscience?"
Su Yang's expression turned odd, helplessly saying, "Is your world only black or white? Anything that reaches your mouth seems to change meaning."
"May I ask whether the Old Era Player Miss Zhai here has the ability to punch through a Stone Gate nearly two feet thick with one blow?"
Zhai Sixin snorted in displeasure and turned her head away.
She gave no response.
Su Yang, seeing this, smiled and continued, "When crisis comes, one or two run faster than a dog, Gallbladder smaller than a needle's eye."
"I originally did not wish to partake in major decisions, but you kept pressuring, even threatening with life."
"I am only one person, with only one vote; an arm cannot twist around a thigh, so there is no room to refuse."
"Moreover, this is the code logic set by the mechanism's owner; how could I possibly have the capacity to close the door?"
Liang Kaiqi had no intention of letting him go that way; the scene of Su Yang refusing to hand over the key was still vivid.
She then continued, "How do you explain the Treasure? You deliberately took it away, meaning you didn't intend to let us in?"
At that, Zhai Sixin immediately echoed, "You say you're selfish and self‑serving; that point can't be washed away."
Su Yang nodded without objection, "The fact is indeed so, and I have always held reverence and fear toward the unknown; if I weren't selfish enough to leave a retreat, what if the door closed and couldn't be opened?"
"Could it be that I leave the key outside, letting you all hold my life in your hands?"
"The desire for my death shouldn't be limited to Brother Tang alone, right?"
Liang Kaiqi sneered, "Then aren't you afraid that after you emerge, we'll Vote Out you?"
"Of course I'm afraid, but I have a unique Innate Talent, unafraid of death," Su Yang smiled faintly.
"Oh? And an Innate Talent that can ignore the Hang Execution's rules?" Liang Kaiqi said.
"Miss Liang, have you ever heard of 'Fake Death'?" Su Yang slightly lifted his eyelids.
Liang Kaiqi furrowed her brows, her pretty face full of suspicion.
"So your Innate Talent is 'Fake Death'," Tang Youning asked with a questioning tone.
"Exactly, my Innate Talent is 'Fake Death'!" Su Yang nodded slightly.
"You are lying!"
"He is lying!!"
Almost simultaneously, Li Zhenhua and Tang Youning shouted loudly.
The two exchanged a glance, then immediately looked away.
Undoubtedly, Su Yang started lying again!
"Playing this act again? I know what your Innate Talent is; don't play tricks with me here," Tang Youning said.
"If Brother Tang knows, you should understand that what I say is the truth," Su Yang said with a half‑smile.
"Don't play that game; if you keep meddling, do you think I'll expose your background?"
Su Yang felt the threatening meaning in his eyes, and, unfazed, smiled lightly, "Enough idle talk, let's get to the real matter."
As he said, he opened a corner of the cloth bag.
At that moment, everyone rose together and looked inside, hoping to see Lushan's true face.
But Su Yang blocked their view, never revealing a hint.
He thrust his large hand in and pulled out two blood‑stained account books.
He slammed them onto the table.
"Everyone, don't say I don't share intelligence; these two things are one of the major Luoshi I found inside Stone Gate," Su Yang said calmly.
Tang Youning and Zhai Sixin, quick‑eyed and swift‑handed, each snatched a book and opened it at once.
The others, having failed to grab one, had to lean in to examine.
"What a human‑trafficking business!" Yu Mengliu frowned.
"The profit is absurd; I saw in the Noble Observations Record that a Baron's annual revenue is only about a thousand gold coins," Li Zhenhua said, growing more alarmed.
Selling a few slaves casually can fill the pot to the brim.
Even gold gambling must be put off a bit.
Now even a lowly security guard and a maid can earn such profit dividends.
One can imagine how terrifying a fortune the Count has amassed!
What's even more exaggerated is that this is only a single year's profit!
