366: Chapter 366 Ji Youyou: You are No-Face!

As the words fell.

The air in the plaza seemed to solidify completely.

Jiang You had assumed that his resonant speech about defending his rights would surely attract the authorities' serious attention, and perhaps even garner sympathy and support from the surrounding contestants.

However.

The anticipated shared indignation did not manifest.

Helan Que, standing beside him, cast a cold glance at him with dead, fishy eyes, as if looking at a moron.

Chu Tiankuo also turned his head away expressionlessly, not even deigning to offer a cold snort.

Others didn't even bother to hide the disdain in their eyes, stepping back as if avoiding a plague god.

The surrounding prodigies, who had been looted down to their very underwear, watched Jiang You making such a fuss, their expressions surprisingly uniform.

Numb, indifferent, and accustomed to it.

"You're making such a scene just because you lost a ring?"

"We've had our life-saving artifacts, assets worth tens of millions in Great Xia currency, and even our spare clothes stripped clean by that Faceless Man, and did we say anything?!"

"Everyone here is a victim of robbery; you jumping around like this makes us top-tier prodigies who were cleaned out look really pathetic, okay!"

"Shut up! Get back here!"

Principal Pang Ban of Magic City Martial Arts University could no longer stand it, his old face flushing red with embarrassment.

He grabbed Jiang You by the collar and dragged him back into the F-class formation.

"Are you not embarrassed enough? Who in this entire plaza hasn't been robbed? Check the surveillance? Nothing can even transmit from inside right now, check your head!"

Jiang You was dragged off-balance and stood there, completely bewildered in the wind.

He looked at those cold eyes surrounding him, at those elite geniuses who turned a blind eye to his theft, and his passionate heart instantly plummeted into an ice cellar.

"What happened to the moral bottom line of this society?"

Jiang You looked up at the overcast sky and issued an extremely abstract and sorrowful accusation in his heart:

"Has the human heart really become this cold?"

"In broad daylight, under the clear blue sky!"

"Right under the noses of the Great Xia Martial Arts General Bureau, a heinous theft occurred! And these prodigies, hailed as the future hope of Great Xia, are actually indifferent to such criminal behavior!"

"They are numb! They are heartless! When they see others suffering, not only do they not reach out to help, but they even use cold violence to isolate the victim!"

Jiang You clutched his chest in agony, feeling as if he were a lone warrior who had seen through the ugliness of the mundane world.

"It's not me who is wrong, it's this cold world!"

"This damn martial arts world is doomed!"

Just as Jiang You was immersed in his own abstract, tragic psychological theater.

Not far away, a cold and sharp gaze had never once left him.

Senior Ji Youyou stood at the edge of the F-class formation, toying with a poison needle at her fingertips, her beautiful eyes, which seemed capable of peering into the human heart, locked tightly onto Jiang You's every move.

Similar.

Truly too similar!

Although Jiang You was currently wearing ridiculous pajamas, looking like an unlucky fool who was heartless and criticizing the unhealthy trends of society.

But the terrifying figure in Senior Ji Youyou's mind uncontrollably overlapped with the man before her.

Senior Ji Youyou recalled the scene that had just occurred in the secret realm.

That unfathomably powerful Faceless Man had actually chosen to concede when faced with the resistance of her and Qiu Yunan, who were desperately protecting their storage rings!

What was most critical was that when Captain Ji Xiaoyun was sent out, she personally stated that the Faceless Man referred to himself as "Jiang."

"It feels a bit familiar... showing mercy to our people from Magic City Martial Arts University... and his surname is Jiang..."

Senior Ji Youyou took a deep breath; a woman's sixth sense sounded a piercing alarm at this moment, wildly revealing an earth-shattering answer to her:

Jiang You was that Faceless Man who had been playing all the prodigies on the map for a fool!

His current appearance of being heartbroken over lost items was all an act!

He was using this clumsy acting to cover up the truth that he was secretly manipulating everything!

"Could it really be him?"

Senior Ji Youyou put away the poison needle, strode forward on her long, straight Legs, and walked straight toward Jiang You.

She intended to probe with words, to see what flaws the Faceless Devil who made the world tremble would reveal once this salty fish disguise was stripped away.

"Jiang You, your acting is quite good."

Senior Ji Youyou walked to Jiang You's side, lowered her voice, and spoke with a tone of certainty and mockery: "Was your ring really stolen by someone else?"

Jiang You was immersed in the grief of losing money; hearing this, he turned his head blankly: "Huh? If not a thief, then who? Could it be that the ring grew Legs and ran away on its own?"

"Stop pretending."

Senior Ji Youyou stared fixedly into his eyes, leaning forward slightly, her breath soft as orchids:

"Just now at the entrance of the main hall, when you wore the mask and let me and Qiu Yunan go, you didn't look this pathetic."

"You are the..."

Just at the moment the words "Faceless Man" were about to escape her lips!

"Hum——!!!"

The portal in the center of the plaza, which had been silent for a long time, moved once again!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three figures smashed heavily onto the stone slabs from mid-air.

These were three contestants wearing the uniforms of some unknown martial arts academy.

These three people looked just like the others at this moment.

Their protective gear had been stripped clean, and even the tactical boots on their feet had not been spared; they were left with nothing but floral boxers on their entire bodies.

As soon as they landed, the three of them seemed to have suffered a great grievance, hugging each other and wailing at the top of their lungs.

"Help! It's too brutal! This is simply not something a human would do!"

A high-ranking member of the Organizing Committee rushed forward and asked loudly: "Did you encounter the Faceless Man too? What is the situation inside right now?!"

"Yes, it was a guy wearing a Faceless Man mask!"

The boy cried hysterically, his face full of terror and indignation:

"That guy not only stole our storage rings, but he even used a lightning-bamboo to pry out the two spirit stones hidden in the soles of my shoes!"

"He even said... he said that even a mosquito's leg is meat, telling us to get out quickly and not delay him from restocking!"

In the crowd, Senior Ji Youyou, who had been aggressive and prepared to expose Jiang You's true identity to his face, froze completely on the spot.

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, her mouth half-open, as she looked at the three victims in the distance who had just been robbed by the Faceless Man down to their boxers.

Then, she stiffly turned her head.

She looked at Jiang You, who was standing in front of her, wearing his spongebob pajamas, and had just been shouting and criticizing the coldness of society.

A draft blew through.

The timeline, at this moment, completely failed to match up!

It had been a full several minutes since Jiang You was teleported out.

During this time, Jiang You had been standing in the plaza, complaining about losing his ring right under everyone's noses, and had even been grabbed by the collar and lectured by Principal Pang Ban.

And in these last few minutes, three more unlucky souls had encountered the Faceless Man's brutal looting!

How could one person simultaneously appear in the real-world plaza wailing in tears, and also be looting rampantly inside the completely sealed Black Box Secret Realm?

"..."

The trace of certainty in Senior Ji Youyou's eyes completely disintegrated.

She looked at Jiang You's side profile, which was full of clear, naive stupidity, as he curiously craned his neck to watch the spectacle.

"No wonder he cried so sadly when he lost his ring..."

"No wonder when I asked him just now, he had an expression of not understanding..."
