Chapter 993: I Want to See Blood Flow Like a River! The 'Blood Ghost' Appears!?

"Someone wants to break this balance!" Su Yang said.

"It's not just one!" Tiger added.

"So..."

Su Yang shifted his tone and said, "The Bee Queen will certainly disappear, and you and I happen to be the big scapegoat who appears at the right time and place."

Tiger sneered, "Just in time to come back for another transformation, only to run into the timid scum Gao Lingchi."

Su Yang shook his head helplessly.

It was thanks to that Unruly and Untamed assessment.

It made the old crone clearly understand Su Yang's approach in such a collision.

That clueless illegitimate child.

He was merely a sacrifice.

"Then why did she agree to cooperate with you?" Tiger asked.

"As a vested beneficiary, what reason does she have not to cooperate?" Su Yang retorted.

"If the truth comes out, you might become the second sacrifice," Tiger said.

"No," Su Yang shook his head, "As long as I can strengthen the warriors' power, just that alone makes me impossible to die."

On the contrary, once this ability is exposed.

It's not only the Imperial Company.

The entire White Bear City would go mad because of Su Yang's uniqueness.

They would scramble to seize Su Yang.

So‑called reputation, so‑called wealth.

They are slower than direct profit.

Getting Su Yang is equivalent to getting the Bee Queen.

Having both, why worry that the great undertaking won't flourish?

"Blue Whale Company should be close too, right?" Tiger's eyes flashed with amusement.

"In just these two days, I want to see this city's blood flow like a river!" Su Yang's mouth curled into a cold smile.

The two walked and talked, taking the elevator down to the 70th floor.

"Are you planning to sit and wait for death?" Tiger asked.

"For now, I'll pretend I know nothing and obediently complete the issued Task."

Saying that, Su Yang paused, then continued, "The Rejuvenation Needle matter also needs a thorough investigation."

"Besides, the operational logic of the Bee Queen's hive also needs to be clarified."

"They want to use me as a shield; I might as well go with the flow and give them a ride."

"I happen to have no Clearance ideas right now."

"What do you think?"

Tiger looked at his half‑smiling face and felt something was off.

A kind of...

Pretending ignorance while actually understanding.

Tiger didn't press further on that.

After all, the two only had a simple cooperative relationship.

Each had their own pursuits.

Digging to the root wasn't a good thing.

As the two headed to Laboratory No. 45, a tall silhouette suddenly collided with them.

His shoulder was abruptly wounded, and Tiger suddenly felt a massive force strike, causing his body to stagger.

Before Su Yang could reach out to help, Tiger swiftly steadied himself.

"Where's that stinky blind!"

The man slowly turned his head, his deep, magnetic voice resonating, "Watch the road."

"Hey!"

Tiger's violent temper flared, he rolled up his sleeve and lunged forward.

Su Yang hurriedly pulled him back, saying, "No need."

Tiger watched his solitary figure walk away, his nose about to be twisted by anger.

"Such elementary‑school‑style provocation is truly low‑level."

Su Yang agreed, "Probably got used to being arrogant."

"Wait!"

At that moment, Tiger suddenly found the sight familiar.

"What's up?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"He is... Cheng Beixiao!?" Tiger exclaimed.

"Impressive?" Su Yang looked up.

He saw a broad, sturdy back silhouette that looked a bit desolate.

His steps were extremely steady, his base solid.

As he walked, a gust of wind accompanied him.

"He and I are players who emerged from the same prison," Tiger said, his expression slightly grave.

"Have you attended the Round Table Meeting?" Su Yang asked.

"As far as I know, there isn't any!"

"He's strong?"

"I haven't had any contact with him, but my dependents were matched with him in the same Death Game."

Speaking of that, Tiger took a deep breath and said seriously, "He's very capable in combat, extremely capable; I've heard he's never been defeated. Every time he's straightforward, never indulging in convoluted schemes."

"Oh?"

"That personality…"

"Why does it feel a bit familiar?"

"Isn't he just the male version of Qin Weiyang?"

Su Yang, intrigued, said, "Can he always turn danger into safety?"

Tiger shook his head and said, "Overwhelming superiority, a complete victory."

Su Yang seemed to understand.

The matches he faces are all of the straightforward type.

There's no voting mechanic.

It could also be considered a kind of luck king.

"This guy is actually in the same Company as us; why hadn't we met before?" Tiger furrowed his eyebrows.

"The Company has thousands of people; you can't possibly know everyone," Su Yang said.

"Be careful when you encounter him; this guy isn't a nice fellow—he can manipulate his own and his opponent's blood," Tiger warned.

"Didn't you say he's very capable in combat?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

"Being capable is his skill; what I'm describing is his Innate Talent."

"So you don't want to clash with him directly?"

"Better not."

Tiger's expression grew slightly solemn as he turned to Su Yang, "He has a nickname; people call him the Blood Ghost."

"What?!"

Su Yang's tiger‑like frame jolted.

That code name is far too familiar to him.

Right after the Round Table Meeting ended, Xingchen specifically named this person for execution.

He euphemistically called it a task assigned by the Organization.

Now the question arises.

Su Yang, puzzled, said, "The Blood Ghost I know is Yue Zhao's close brother, presumably from the Old Era Remnant Faction. Are these two the same person?"

Tiger was taken aback and asked, "The person Xingchen told you to kill is also called Blood Ghost?"

Su Yang nodded.

"Probably the code names collided; after all, there aren't few called Demon," Tiger said.

"Is that so?"

Su Yang stared at his silhouette fading at the edge of his sight, a strange hue flashing in his eyes.

He never believed in so‑called coincidences.

But if it isn't a coincidence…

Could Xingchen be lying?

"By this point in the game, I still haven't encountered any member of the Old Era Remnant Faction," Su Yang said.

"Me neither," Tiger realized.

Those old guys are easy to spot; first, their arrogant bearing is standard.

Moreover, the "old‑man scent" on them is extremely strong.

Even if you can't identify them by appearance, you can discern the truth from their scent.

"Could this game be a competition unique to the New Era?" Su Yang speculated.

"Are you saying the Blood Ghost before us is Xingchen's hunting target?" Tiger asked.

"A certain great power threw an Olive Branch at him; the token of allegiance is the Blood Ghost's head on his neck."

"So… you plan to wait by the tree for a rabbit?" Tiger asked.

"I recall you said this world doesn't have only White Bear City as a battlefield; players also descend upon other cities."

"Then I dare guess that Xingchen might also be in this world."

"If he wants to obtain that token of allegiance, he must come to White Bear City in person!"

A flash of brilliance crossed Su Yang's eyes, "But what if… I get there a step ahead?"

Tiger was stunned for a moment, "You want to…"

Su Yang's mouth curled upward, his eyelids slightly raised, "What if I obtain the token of allegiance a step before him?"
