Chapter 707: Trust Me, and Trust Lin Yang! Boss... I've Kept You Waiting!

~7 min read 1,246 words

No one can guarantee that the person who takes this position will kill Su Yang in order to permanently eliminate future trouble.

No other means are needed; a single thought can kill dependents.

In fact, Su Yang had considered using Deception to regain his identity.

But later he thought it unrealistic.

After all, once this door is opened, everything will turn to a mirage.

Moreover, doing so makes it easy for others to see the clue.

If one knows that Su Yang's innate talent is so Defying Heaven, one cannot be sure whether the new Ascend God seed will develop greed.

One should know that Tang Youning displayed hostility so obviously that the others once deliberated over it.

The "Walking Easter Egg" is not something everyone can resist the temptation of.

"Besides Jiang Chengyu, Ximen Zhirou and Xi Jun also need to be more careful," Su Yang said.

"They haven't returned yet, so for now we can only wait," Lin Yang's eyes were full of worry.

It can be said this is the greatest crisis in history.

The threat does not come from outside, but from within!

The rule is set that way; everyone must obey.

Even if Su Yang is now a Ten-tier Genetic Modification, this fact cannot be changed.

Life and death hinge on a single thought!

"I think..." Lin Yang began, when a faint sound suddenly came from behind.

Both turned their heads together and saw a stunningly beautiful, cool face appear before them.

At this moment she looked a bit disheveled, her whole body stained with blood.

It was impossible to tell whether it was the enemy's or one's own.

"I'm back," Qin Weiyang said softly.

Su Yang, seeing this, hurried forward to check, and saw a deep blood scar on her abdomen; a little deeper would reveal her organs.

"How did you get yourself all wounded again?" Su Yang's reproach was tinged with concern.

Qin Weiyang waved a hand, "No problem, I forgot to use my Primary All-Purpose Recovery Injection."

Speaking, she pulled out a syringe and injected herself in the abdomen.

In a moment, the body, previously covered in scars, visibly healed back to its original state.

"All right," a long-missed smile appeared on Qin Weiyang's face.

"You..." Su Yang chuckled wryly, shaking his head.

Qin Weiyang always makes herself look this miserable.

Other players rely purely on their brains, but she, on the contrary, relies entirely on brute force.

It's not a bad thing, except that if faced with a rule prohibiting the use of force, the advantage would drop to zero.

"Wei Yang, how much Faith Value did you take?" Lin Yang got straight to the point without greeting.

"What's wrong?" Qin Weiyang's Scent Perception caught a hint of something amiss.

In the past, Su Yang's face would surely be filled with composure.

But now...

A faint, lingering worry hovered in his brows.

"Hmm?"

Qin Weiyang stared into Su Yang's eyes and suddenly found that the once red irises had faded to brown?

She lunged forward in a single stride, cupping Su Yang's face, and said in a deep voice, "Who did it?"

The sudden "Intimate" gesture left Su Yang somewhat at a loss.

He tried to turn his head, but found Qin Weiyang's strength great, exuding a relentless, probing determination.

To this, Su Yang could only shrug helplessly, "I don't know exactly what happened either."

"Then your eyes..." Qin Weiyang said, her tone tinged with anger.

Seeing this stance, Lin Yang knew she intended to kill, so he hurriedly explained, "It's not as you think."

He then recounted the whole chain of events.

"Ascend God seed changing master?!" Qin Weiyang's face grew even colder.

"Don't worry too much, I'm confident," Lin Yang soothed.

"That Jiang Chengyu guy's wolfish ambition, where does your confidence come from?!" Qin Weiyang suddenly raised her voice.

Lin Yang muttered softly, "Why are you saying the same thing as Su Yang?"

"This is a Death Game, not a workplace, nor a school; put away your lofty childish ideas!" Qin Weiyang scolded.

"I know it's a Death Game, and I know he might do something harmful to Su Yang, but the person hasn't returned yet, right?" Lin Yang said.

He immediately added, "Besides, the Faith Value matter is already settled; we can't do anything now to increase our odds."

Qin Weiyang withdrew her hand, saying coldly, "Now it's just the three of us who have returned?"

"Hmm."

Su Yang rubbed his slightly reddened face and said, "Lin Yang, go check next door if Huang Hua has returned."

"Alright."

When Lin Yang left, Su Yang pulled the cold-faced Qin Weiyang to sit down.

"These are merely speculations; before the matter is settled, there's no need to worry, and caring only creates chaos," Su Yang said.

"But... once the matter is settled, it'll be too late," Qin Weiyang sighed.

"I understand your concerns, because I think the same way," Su Yang said.

"If Jiang Chengyu really becomes an Ascend God Seed, what do you plan to do?" Qin Weiyang asked.

Su Yang pondered for a moment, his gaze deep, and said, "I will bring out something that will move him enough."

"What could be more captivating than those red eyes?"

"As one's horizons expand, an Ascend God Seed is merely a title; capable players abound beyond."

If he hadn't encountered the Old Era Remnant Faction, Su Yang might have remained a frog at the bottom of a well for a long time.

The more he learns, the more he feels his own insignificance.

"I only have 160 Faith Value points; I definitely can't compete in this arena," Qin Weiyang said, her tone tinged with a bit of frustration and self‑blame.

She used to easily become Leaderboard First.

Back then she thought the Death Game was nothing more than that.

It had no challenge at all.

But as the game's difficulty increased, she found her own limitations growing larger.

Her contributions to the team also diminished accordingly.

It hinted at being something of a Drag Oil Bottle.

Su Yang caught the implication in her words and said softly, "Isn't it precisely our relentless, death‑defying spirit that has brought us this far?"

"We've crossed the biggest hurdles, and this time won't be an exception,"

"Believe in me, and also believe in Lin Yang."

Qin Weiyang's eyes softened as she stared at Su Yang for a moment and let out a gentle hum.

…

Day Four, Luo Shuangshuang returned.

Day Five, Ximen Zhirou and Yu Ning returned one after another.

Day Six, there was no movement.

The time arrived at Seventh Day.

Around noon.

A group sat around the living room, waiting quietly.

Lin Yang clasped his hands together, shaking his legs constantly in an attempt to dispel his inner nervousness.

He now even hopes for Jiang Chengyu's death.

Buzz—

Radiance flashed, and a Silhouette suddenly appeared before them.

Lin Yang sprang up and looked, only to see that the newcomer was unmistakably Lu Junsheng!

"Sheng Ge!"

"Sorry, I'm late returning," Lu Junsheng said, panting heavily.

"It's good you're back, thanks for your effort," Su Yang gave a reassuring glance.

At the same time, Radiance flickered again.

Jiang Chengyu suddenly appeared, completely unscathed, a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

The moment he returned, he looked at Su Yang.

At the instant they locked eyes, Jiang Chengyu sensed his 'abnormality' and was slightly startled.

But he quickly broke into a smile,

"Boss..."

"Sorry to keep you waiting."
