"Survivor": Give Me Your Phone

These words stunned not only the other players and the many netizens in the Livestream Room, but even the slovenly man paused for a moment.

The young man didn't even wait for a response before turning around and leaving.

The slovenly man's words, "Fine, go ahead," stuck in his throat.

He quickly came to his senses and shouted after the young man's retreating figure, "Go quickly and come back quickly!"

Fortunately, the challenge doesn't start until tomorrow. Tonight is just a chance for the participants to get used to the environment, so it's fine to go in a little later.

But in his mind, the East Asia youth still left him with the impression of being a troublemaker.

Winniever and the others watched as the player, who appeared to be from Huaguo, gradually disappeared into the woods, their expressions complex.

Polina stared in that direction, her eyes sharp. "What's he going to do?"

She didn't believe the other person would do anything meaningless, nor did she think they were genuinely trying to resolve their physical needs.

Daisy's eyes flickered slightly.

The two questions the other party had recently raised precisely hit the key points that none of them had noticed.

Their style of doing things is so clean and efficient that it has nothing to do with the word "cautious" at all.

Even though she was secretly wondering about the young man's intentions, she said aloud, "Who knows?"

The remaining few also had their own thoughts, but none of them suggested following along.

Firstly, there is a fear of the unknown territory; secondly, the young people's motives are unclear, and their rashly following them may not be a good thing.

Xu Xi, on the other hand, strode away very quickly.

Because he was afraid of being stopped by a slovenly man.

Just now, he suddenly thought of a very crucial question—the point at which he Rollback.

Although he speculated that the way to clear this Dungeon was related to the wish of the Blue Entity, there were still a few points to consider.

First and foremost, Blue Entity wants to clear his name, that much is undeniable.

The other party did not want to bear the burden of unfounded accusations even after death, in a memorial hall.

What these players have to do is help prove its innocence.

But first, to whom do I need to prove it?

To the Production Team crew? Or... to the viewers in this Dungeon who will be watching the show?

Second, what are the criteria for judging the validity of "proof"?

Does it require everyone to believe it, or is it sufficient to simply complete the "helping" process unilaterally determined by the Blue Entity?

Third, how do you prove it?

This is extremely important.

Xu Xi immediately thought of the Production Team.

But then he thought about it again. Neither the special Blue Entity nor the ordinary Blue Entity had ever appeared in the surveillance footage. Even when he found the red Skull Symbol in the previous episode, the Production Team didn't react.

Does relying on the camera angles of the Production Team really work?

There might be a way, but figuring out how to persuade that slovenly man is another problem.

Therefore, he decided to take an unconventional approach.

Ultimately, the final judgment rests with the Blue Entity. As long as the outcome aligns with its vision of "rectification," the process... shouldn't be limited by any means necessary?

Meanwhile, viewers from various countries in the Livestream Room were discussing his act of temporarily "solving his physiological problems."

[Would anyone really want to go to the toilet alone in such a dangerous environment? (IP Kangaroo Country)]

I'm more inclined to believe he wanted to search for clues alone (IP Lì Country)

[That's too reckless! Don't you Huaguo know that going solo at the start of Dungeon? (IP: Beautiful Country)]

[The person above, please don't speak for everyone. We at 248 won't do anything we're not sure of (IP Huaguo)]

It's no wonder that many netizens are paying special attention to that Huaguo player, because his behavior was quite unusual after witnessing that failed prayer.

While their own players were still in shock, the young man displayed a detached calmness.

After receiving answers to both of his questions, he then left the group without warning and disappeared into the forest.

This series of actions, though seemingly effortless, were fraught with anomalies.

It even created an overly stark disconnect between them and the other players.

It's hard not to let them take a second look.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Huaguo man who said he was going to "solve his personal physiological problems" did not do as he said. Instead, he walked towards the wizard who had gone mad after his failed prayer.

Netizens were completely baffled and had no idea what he was trying to do.

*

The same Simple First-Aid Station, the same corner, and the same man huddled there, his body trembling slightly.

Xu Xi even considered saying something old-fashioned like, "Hey, long time no see."

After all, there have been so many Rollbacks, so we haven't seen it much in terms of time.

Hearing footsteps, the man looked up alertly.

"... It's you? One of the contestants from East Asia? What do you want?"

Yes, it's the same familiar question.

Xu Xi calmly sat down on the other side.

"Certainly."

He cut to the chase without any hesitation. "You were possessed just now, weren't you?"

This wasn't a test; in fact, it was something the other person had revealed themselves.

The man's eyes widened immediately, his expression quite agitated.

"You... you know...!!"

Xu Xi nodded. "I not only know this, I also know--"

He saw the man unconsciously clench his hands around the rough trouser legs, and deliberately leaned closer to lower his voice.

"A powerful Wraith slumbers within."

The man's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this.

Xu Xi continued, "Tomorrow at noon, that Wraith will awaken, and we—"

He glanced at the man whose breathing had become more rapid, and slowly added the second half of his sentence.

"Everyone will die."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man gasped, his already trembling lips shaking even more.

His gaze toward Xu Xi was filled with disbelief and horror, as well as a sense of "I knew it" despair.

Without a doubt, he believed it.

Just now, he had personally experienced the fear of having his body controlled by something invisible.

"How... how did you know?" His voice was dry and hoarse. "What if..."

What if I'm lying to you? What if what I said is false? What if nothing happens tomorrow?

Three consecutive rhetorical questions completely shattered the man's already crumbling psychological defenses.

"I just wanted to make a living, how did this happen to me!" The man seemed to have all his strength drained away, slumped to the ground, ran his hands through his hair, and complained with tears in his eyes.

Xu Xi that she had provoked him enough, Xu Xi softened her tone and turned her attention to her purpose. "However, I didn't come here to die with you."

The man was stunned for a moment, then, as if a drowning man had grabbed onto a piece of driftwood, a burning light flashed in his eyes. He abruptly looked up, staring intently at the young man who had remained calm and collected throughout. "You... you have a way?"

He didn't care what the other person meant by those words, or what their purpose was in participating in the show; as long as he could get out alive, nothing else mattered.

He didn't want to die here at such a young age.

If he manages to get back alive, he promises he'll never touch any of these supernatural things again!

Xu Xi avoided answering, instead extending her hand to the man. "Give me your phone."
