A man sat by the window in a street corner café, sipping coffee while watching the street scene.
It was none other than Su Yu!
He had already changed his appearance and was now quietly enjoying his coffee.
Why had he come so close to the pursuers?
Just to observe their next moves.
After all, their actions would influence his own decisions.
"Interesting… a new pursuer has joined the game?"
A browser notification popped up on his phone, catching Su Yu's attention.
He had already anticipated that new pursuers would be added.
After all, it was part of the show's rules.
"Shangguan Yue, huh?"
Su Yu opened his browser and quickly searched the name.
Moments later, he set his phone down.
There wasn't much information online — no photos or detailed background — only a brief mention of her origin.
A member of an international police organization?
Tsk, tsk… the production team really went all out this time.
In addition, the pursuer team had expanded. They were now armed and had even been given a helicopter for support.
Clearly, the production team was taking him more seriously now.
Su Yu understood this well.
At this point, he was the contestant who had stayed on the run the longest.
It had been 14 days since his prison break.
And just recently, he had stolen the Crimson Moon Gem.
Reinforcements were to be expected.
He was just curious — how capable was this new pursuer?
Glancing at the command center in the distance, Su Yu slightly raised his brows and touched the Crimson Moon Gem hidden in his sleeve.
He wasn't surprised that people online had figured out how he pulled off the heist.
As long as he was using methods within the realm of human science, being exposed was normal.
As long as he achieved his goal, that was all that mattered.
As for this new pursuer?
They'd find out soon enough.
"System, claim the Crimson Moon mission reward."
Su Yu hadn't forgotten that he had completed a mission. He looked around the empty café and spoke up.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission "Crimson Moon." Reward: 1x Mystery Wheel Spin! +2000 Achievement Points!
Hearing the system's voice, Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Mystery Wheel, huh?
"System, spin the wheel."
"Okay, spinning now."
The next moment, a fog-covered prize wheel appeared in front of Su Yu.
He could vaguely see the pointer spinning rapidly across various rewards.
After a few moments, it stopped.
Ding! Congratulations! You've obtained the skill: God-level Danger Perception!
The moment the voice fell, Su Yu suddenly felt his senses becoming extremely sharp.
He was surprised.
"System, what does this skill do?"
"The God-level Danger Perception skill will warn the host when danger is imminent."
The system quickly explained.
That made sense to Su Yu.
Wasn't this basically a sixth sense?
Speaking of sixth sense — though current science hasn't pinpointed its mechanism, it clearly exists.
Like when a loved one is in danger, or when you instinctively feel uncomfortable in dangerous situations.
"Not bad," Su Yu smiled slightly.
With this skill, he would be even safer from future pursuers.
"But system, hasn't the Hall of Glory unlocked yet?"
Su Yu checked his panel.
He had already accumulated 3000 Achievement Points, yet the Hall of Glory was still locked.
"Host, the Hall of Glory unlocks at 10,000 Achievement Points."
Hearing the system, Su Yu could only nod.
10,000 was quite a high threshold.
But it likely held some surprising and valuable things.
Definitely something to look forward to.
With a smile, Su Yu took another sip of coffee — and just then, the micro-camera on his body picked up a voice.
"Fugitive Su Yu, the next target location has been announced: Provincial Capital, Dongchuan City!"
"You must reach Dongchuan City within seven days. If successful, you will receive a 10 million cash reward!"
Hearing the system's voice, Su Yu's smile deepened.
It had finally come!
The next destination — Dongchuan City?
Nice!
He set down his coffee cup, smiling broadly.
This was the message he had been waiting for.
At the same time, another system notification came.
Ding! New mission issued — Mission: Fugitive Journey! Mission Objective: Reach Dongchuan City within seven days!
Mission Reward: 2000 Achievement Points, +20 to all physical attributes!
Su Yu was even more delighted now.
Good stuff…
The production team issued a mission, and now the system followed up with its own?
And it's basically the same mission.
That's practically a freebie!
The show gives him money, the system gives him stats and achievement points.
Not bad at all…
Smiling happily, Su Yu held his coffee and started to think.
Now that he had a goal, it was time to make a plan.
Seven days was plenty of time for him.
He needed a solid strategy.
How should he get to Dongchuan City?
Drive a private car?
That was his first thought.
Because as long as you paid, there was no need for ID checks.
Pay and go.
But that seemed a little too boring.
What about trains or high-speed rail?
But those had strict identity checks — hard to bypass.
How to work around that?
Su Yu sank deep into thought.
In the livestream room, countless viewers were buzzing with discussion.
[Looks like the next escape destination has been announced. Su Shen is already planning!]
[Damn, that new pursuer really seems capable.]
[Yeah, curious to see what clever method Su Shen will use this time.]
[Just wait. Su Shen won't let us down.]
Amidst the heated discussion in the chat…
In the café, after much contemplation, Su Yu finally came up with something.
"If I do it that way… not bad. Just in time to meet that new pursuer. Hope she doesn't disappoint me."
A smile emerged on Su Yu's face.
After nearly an hour of brainstorming, he had found a decent plan.
Not only could he leave Donghai City, but he could also observe—
Just what kind of tactics this new pursuer had!
As Su Yu was about to finalize the details…
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the café entrance.
Su Yu looked up.
A woman with a cold expression and light purple hair stood at the entrance, seemingly observing the area.
The next second, her gaze landed on Su Yu.
The livestream room exploded instantly.
[What the heck?! Isn't that Shangguan Yue?! Why is she here?!]
[Don't tell me she's onto something?! Came here on purpose?!]
[Oh no… are there pursuers lying in ambush nearby?! Don't tell me she's here to arrest Su Shen?!]
[Incredible!]
Su Yu might not know due to the production team blocking information — but the audience sure did.
That woman was Shangguan Yue!
And now… she was at the café too?!
On site—
Su Yu suddenly felt an unexplainable unease.
Danger perception?
He remembered what the system said earlier.
Don't tell him… this is the new pursuer?
Su Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
And then, under the eyes of countless spectators…
Shangguan Yue began walking directly toward Su Yu without a word.
Instantly, everyone held their breath…
