[Are you leaving now, without probing any further?]

[The woman in the leather jacket looked completely bewildered, and so did I, hahaha]

So what exactly is Xu Xi's goal?

Netizens found it quite strange. They did see the creature that attacked the woman in the leather jacket, but as a fellow player, Xu Xi clearly didn't know it, yet the other party seemed to have no desire to investigate further.

Jiang Jin also somewhat puzzled. "Xu Xi has returned to that exhibition hall and is browsing that photo wall again."

Yao Han asked doubtfully, "Did he make any new discoveries?"

Lin Miao and Luo Zongyun frowned slightly, clearly pondering the young man's motives.

Before they could think for long, they saw the other side resume its actions.

The four people, along with all the viewers in the Livestream Room, watched as the young man, faced with various complex intersections, chose one of them almost without hesitation, as if he had already planned a certain route in his mind.

And the direction they were heading...

This is the location of Polina, the woman in the leather jacket.

"Is it a coincidence?" Yao Han asked softly, though she already knew the answer in her heart.

"It's not a coincidence." Luo Zongyun shook his head. "He must have anticipated Polina's movements and is now specifically following that path to find her."

"This..." Jiang Jin was somewhat incredulous, "How did they do that?"

Even though he had always known that the other party was more unusual than other elite players, and even had the professional affirmation of the two industry bigwigs next to him, he still felt a shock from the cognitive level when he witnessed the other party's incredible insight and prediction once again.

Lin Miao pondered for two seconds and said, "As I said before, what makes this player different from ordinary players is that he can form a logical chain from all the points he observes, and then use that logical chain to simulate different scenarios."

Luo Zongyun added with a smile, "To put it simply, his accurate 'prediction' is actually just a deduction he makes by capturing traces and details that we have overlooked."

[What a flimsy "but"! Perhaps you could consider our feelings?]

[What are you babbling about? I'm just watching what the big shot is doing.]

[Here's the question: Why is Boss Xu Xi looking for the woman in the leather jacket? Is he going to kill her?]

[No way, Xu Xi has never done it himself before.]

The crowd discussed the young man's purpose, and soon they learned the reason.

Polina, the woman in the leather jacket, and Dana, the short-haired, artsy woman from Maple Leaf Country, were attacked in their respective rooms.

Throughout, the young man simply stood in the shadows at the corner, silently observing everything, neither intervening nor leaving.

[... So, did Boss Xu Xi predict that this woman in the leather jacket would be attacked again?]

[I think so. Speaking of which, that woman in the leather jacket looks really pitiful; it's like she's being targeted.]

"It seems Xu Xi anticipated this scene," Yao Han exclaimed. "He must have been gathering information about this Eerie Creature."

Luo Zongyun nodded slightly. "Perhaps."

But he always felt that the other party might have known about the existence of the Eerie Creature before entering the Camp.

It's more like a verification process than intelligence gathering.

After all, the knowing look and scrutiny in the young man's eyes, as if he had finally seen the truth, was too obvious.

Xu Xi stood on the Second Floor, using the dim lighting to conceal her figure.

When he saw the Blue-Green Figure following behind the short-haired woman, he finally understood what the invisible thing in the surveillance footage was.

Long, slender limbs and messy, seaweed-like hair moved nimbly and lightly along the short-haired woman.

He tilted his head slightly to the left.

The bearded man, Winniever, who claimed to be from Beautiful Country, was leaning against the edge of the corridor railing, smiling and waving his flashlight in their direction.

"Bang--"

The short-haired woman retreated from the room in a disheveled state.

Winniever, who had initially been drawn to the noise, subconsciously glanced at the young man on the other side, only to see his back.

"..." He couldn't help but rub his sleeve, pondered for a moment, then turned on the flashlight and shone it downwards.
