Bright Sword: Conquer the monk at the beginning and take down Zhou Weiguo

Chapter 520 Do you suspect Liu San?

A chill ran through Qin Cang's heart, and he finally realized that what Liu San meant by "out of control" was not only referring to the enemy and the situation, but might even refer to the relationship between them, or even Liu San's own heart.

"So what are you going to do?" Qin Cang asked, his eyes flashing with determination that could not be ignored. He knew that if he didn't make a choice now, he might never be able to turn back.

Liu San's expression became increasingly complex, and the indescribable pain in his eyes seemed to become clearer. He sighed softly, as if he had decided what to say, but seemed unable to find the words.

"Boss," he finally spoke, "I know, I know you have always trusted me. But have you ever thought that maybe we have been trapped in a dead end from the very beginning?" His voice trembled slightly, as if he himself was experiencing some kind of tearing pain the moment he said these words.

Qin Cang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, these words causing a violent shock in his heart. He looked at Liu San, trying to find more clues in his eyes. Liu San's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, bottomless, filled with endless complexity and confusion, as if there was no way out.

"What are you talking about?" Qin Cang asked, his voice a little hoarse. His heart was filled with anxiety and doubt. Liu San's words seemed to touch his deepest fear - would their journey really come to an end?

"Don't you think that what we've been doing might just be someone else's chess game?" A trace of sadness flashed in Liu San's eyes, and his voice grew deeper, as if he were under some unbearable pressure. "From the very beginning, every step we take, every decision we make, seems to be being pushed. You think we're choosing our paths, but in fact, perhaps these choices were destined from the beginning."

Qin Cang's heart trembled violently, as if a heavy stone slab had been pressed down on his chest. Countless fragments flashed through his mind - every action, every decision, seemed to be controlled by some invisible force, and even they themselves could not truly control the situation.

He didn't dare think any further, his entire being shrouded in an indescribable fear. He had never doubted himself so much, never felt so lost. He had once believed he was in control of everything, but now, Liu San's words made him realize that perhaps every choice they made was merely a trap set by others.

"Liu San," Qin Cang's voice was low and powerful. "What are you talking about? Do you know something?"

Liu San didn't answer. His eyes gradually became empty, as if he had fallen into some endless abyss. Qin Cang felt a sharp pain in his heart, and a sense of foreboding spread. He knew that Liu San's silence was more telling than any words.

"What... do you want to do?" Qin Cang's voice almost trembled, but he still tried his best to remain calm. "All we can do now is move forward. Don't you want to see the enemy's position clearly and uncover the truth of everything?"

Liu San's eyes moved slightly, as if he was shocked by Qin Cang's determination. He gently closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if preparing for the upcoming decision.

"Boss," Liu San's voice finally rang out again, low and slow. "There are some things I really can't tell you. You have to see and judge for yourself. But I have a reminder: the road ahead isn't as simple as you think."

Qin Cang took a deep breath, his gaze gradually dimming in the moonlight. Liu San's warning was like an invisible chain, tightly wrapped around his heart. Every word echoed in his ears, making him feel an unbearable sense of oppression. Things were far more complicated than he had imagined. Now, taking a step back was no longer an option, and the road ahead was fraught with unpredictable dangers.

He turned to look at Xiaohu, feeling uneasy but also determined. Even though everything was becoming increasingly confusing, they had no choice but to find a way out on their own. Liu San's strange behavior made him even more uneasy. But if, as Liu San said, they were trapped in a trap set by someone else, then the only way out was to exploit the situation.

"Come on, come out with me." Qin Cang whispered to Xiaohu, his tone filled with an unprecedented firmness, as if he had already made some decision.

Xiaohu looked at Qin Cang, a hint of doubt in his eyes. He had never seen Qin Cang so calm before, as if he had gone through a huge psychological struggle and suddenly became extremely decisive. Although he was a little puzzled, Xiaohu did not ask any more questions. After all, Qin Cang had always been a rational and calm person, and every decision he made was full of careful consideration.

"Boss, what plan are you talking about?" Xiaohu asked with a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Qin Cang's eyes were calm, and his deep pupils seemed to conceal some unknown determination. "Let's go out first and give Liu San a chance to act alone." He paused, as if to hide his complex emotions. "I have a feeling that Liu San is not someone who can be completely trusted."

Xiaohu's heart suddenly sank, and his expression became a little ugly, "Boss, are you... suspicious of Liu San?"

Qin Cang didn't answer immediately, but instead gave Xiao Hu a deep look. He knew that today's decision might affect the relationship between them all, but there was no turning back. "It's not entirely suspicious, but his abnormal behavior forces me to pay more attention." He lowered his voice, "We can only take the initiative and take the first step to see how Liu San reacts."

Xiao Hu nodded silently, seemingly no longer having any more questions. Although he still felt a little uneasy, he knew that Qin Cang's decisions were often full of foresight, especially in such a complicated situation.

The two quietly left the camp, crossed the moonlit expanse, and headed deeper into the forest. The night sky was starless, shrouded in mist, making everything seem hushed and mysterious. Every movement in the air reminded them that this was a dangerous path. They had to be extremely careful; even the slightest mistake could lead them into deeper trouble.

Qin Cang's heart grew heavy. He knew that every action, even every expression, of Liu San hinted at something. He dared not underestimate him, and even began to wonder if Liu San had already masterminded all the plans. Perhaps they were merely pawns on the chessboard—an inevitable outcome.

"Xiao Hu, what do you think Liu San will do?" Qin Cang asked in a low voice, his voice tinged with deep worry. "I'm becoming increasingly unsure whether he will truly stand on our side."
