Chapter 874: Can't figure it out, can't see it! What are you doing?

…

The cold wind was bleak, cold and silent.

Su Yang lifted Su Qi's corpse and hurled it from a hundred meters high.

"Snap!"

After a short while, a muffled thud sounded.

Looking again, the corpse was grotesquely twisted beyond human shape.

Half of the body sank into the snow.

Strangely, no blood flowed out.

"Could it really be that the oil's run out and the lamp's burnt out?" Su Yang thought.

He guessed it was probably the side effect of that passive skill.

Exchanging a body's worth of blood for a few minutes of Echoing Light Return.

The price isn't great, after all, what use is a skin after a person dies?

And it's a whole body of blood!

"Roar!"

A sudden deafening blast came from behind.

Su Yang staggered, nearly being blown down the stairs by a Qi Wave.

He turned his head, cold‑eyed, and stared at it,

"Get out!"

In the next instant, the two Blind Dogs and the Forest Giant immediately fell to the ground.

Like rolling logs, they tumbled down the Iron Frame Staircase.

Reaching the bottom was not the end.

Only after they vanished from the edge of his vision did Su Yang withdraw his gaze.

He whispered, "Blind Dog... dead!"

"'Deception' activated successfully, the Monster Blind Dog is dead!"

Having completed this step, Su Yang finally felt at ease.

He had never killed a Blind Dog before; doing so would likely earn an Ordinary Achievement.

Although the Faith Value awarded was small.

But ant legs are also meat.

For household matters, earning a little extra is still something.

After all, there are many places where Faith Value will be needed later.

Su Yang inhaled, a trace of compassion flashing in his eyes.

But in the end, reason still triumphed over emotion.

He turned and walked to Lu Zhiwei's corpse.

He lowered his gaze, watching their death scene.

The helmet had a huge crack.

The damaged face caused the brain beneath to sink in.

Both eyes bulged outward, blood gushed from the seven orifices.

The once delicate, innocent face had become snarling and terrifying.

Like a demon crawling out of hell.

But Su Yang felt no hint of fear at this moment.

"Sigh..."

He plopped down beside the corpse, reached out and pulled their head onto his thigh as a pillow.

The instant his hand touched their cheek, a bone‑deep chill ran through.

He recalled her brave charge.

It was vivid, etched clearly in his Brain.

Su Yang could barely forget the expression of her shouting for him to run.

"Weiwei... why did you do this again?"

"Su Qi wouldn't dare to kill me, let alone kill me."

"She only put on a wildly vicious face, acting as if she were staking everything."

"To give people the impression... 'I've already done my best, yet still can't achieve it.'"

"You are a proud person, and she is no different."

"Both of you despise each other, yet you stubbornly persist at this critical moment."

"I should have revealed my Hole Cards."

"Then you wouldn't have been so reckless."

"Hmm... saying this now is a bit of hindsight, but I still accept your feelings."

"I did the math—this should be your second time saving me."

"The first was the Blind Dog attack; you used your Innate Talent to save me."

"Actually you also have ambition; you also want to obtain Hidden Achievement and rare Hidden Achievement."

"But Yue Zhao and Su Qi are too cunning; under their machinations, others have absolutely no chance."

"If you and I were in a match full of New Era Players, perhaps hardly anyone could deal with us."

"Including me!"

Speaking of that, Su Yang's gaze grew wistful, and he said slowly, "You see, I have to rely on my mouth to activate my Innate Talent."

People, even if they speak faster, still need time.

But you can slow down time.

If you were to bear ill will toward me, I truly couldn't think of a perfect plan in a short time.

Su Yang boasts that he is not a righteous good person.

But he is certainly not a completely heartless villain.

Lu Zhiwei's ending like this, he bears ninety percent of the responsibility.

He just still can't figure it out.

Why does she go to this extent?

This is unreasonable.

Even adding moral principles, it still doesn't make sense.

After all, Lu Zhiwei is an Ascend God Seed.

Under her command, there are still a bunch of lives she must be responsible for.

Based on Su Yang's understanding of her...

Even though she has a wild streak in her bones, it is absolutely impossible for her to sacrifice herself for an old classmate.

Moreover, she is not a clueless greenhorn who knows nothing.

She cannot possibly be ignorant of the simplest principle of weighing pros and cons.

Having saved herself, what benefit can she gain?

Could it be that some affection between classmates makes her disregard everything?

In Su Yang's view, this is absurd.

Even if we take a step back ten thousand steps, even if Lu Zhiwei truly has romantic feelings toward Su Yang.

At most, isn't it just the same level as Xu Yutong?

But that Date Battle, Su Yang remembers it clearly.

She acted more ruthlessly than anyone.

She showed not the slightest hint of affection.

Although the nature of this game is not a life-or-death level.

It is still a genuine competitor.

Therefore...

Su Yang can't figure it out.

Nor can he understand.

It's like a complete oil painting, suddenly a chaotic stray stroke appears.

Abrupt and strange.

"Enough, what's the point or necessity of thinking about this?" Su Yang shook his head silently.

Everyone is dead; now speculating about these is the greatest disrespect to the dead.

He shouldn't try to guess what Lu Zhiwei's heart thinks.

At least he shouldn't, even if sentimental, think that her mental pathways are abnormal.

Su Yang supported her arm and leg and slowly helped her up.

He also used his foot to lift the Shovel.

Then he slowly walked down the stairs onto the snow.

He thought, he must at least arrange a decent farewell for her.

So, Su Yang carefully placed her corpse flat on the ground.

Gripping the Shovel, he began digging!

"Clack!"

One shovel strike hit the ice surface.

Su Yang pressed his foot on the shovel head and dug forcefully.

Across the vast snowfield, only a silhouette was strenuously digging.

A crisp cracking sound kept ringing in the ears.

Time passed minute by minute.

Soon, Su Yang dug out a large pit three meters long, two meters wide, and five meters deep.

Rather than calling it a pit, it's more like an ice cave.

All around were ice crystals.

There is no Burial Coffin now, so he can only make do with this.

Su Yang climbed out of the ice cave back to the surface, looked at his result, expressionless.

A moment later, as if having made up his mind, he lifted Lu Zhiwei and leapt down.

Then he placed her flat in the center.

Staring at her face, Su Yang felt a swirl of mixed emotions.

"Farewell."

He forced himself to suppress the urge to look again, climbed up, and, gripping the Shovel, gradually scraped away the broken ice and snow.

As the ice chunks fell with a rustle, Lu Zhiwei's silhouette gradually vanished before his eyes.

Su Yang could no longer hold back, and an indescribable sour feeling rose in his heart.

He inhaled his Nose, Tooth clenched tightly.

This was his First Place time doing such a thing.

Vision Perception seems somewhat redundant.

But this is also, so far, the best method he can think of to soothe his own conscience.

Just as a third of the ice cavern was being refilled, a sudden startled question sounded from behind.

"Su Yang, you… you are doing what?"

Hm?

The moment he heard the voice, Su Yang immediately turned, holding his shovel.

When he stared at the newcomer, his gaze instantly shifted from fierce to shocked.

Then it turned to disbelief.

"You…"
