The exact origins of the Dead Spirit Island are currently unknown to the research team that landed there, as they lack sufficient information to investigate.

Moreover, too many people were lost in these two short days. Although the Group Four successfully rescued Fang Xiaoyu, Long Zhou, and A Bai on the second day, none of the missing persons were found. Wu Runhao still felt that such unnecessary sacrifices should be avoided.

Didn't you see that the paranormal researcher Song Quan was killed by the Dead Spirit Island?

The real culprits, Yu Xing and Carlos, all expressed their indignation and agreement. "That's right, Dead Spirit Island went too far; Song Quan was killed."

Afterwards, heartbroken Fang Xiaoyu was forcibly taken back to the boat by her sister.

Yu Xing finally met her sister Fang Yao, who was in this identity. She was a very intellectual woman with hair that was not yet past her shoulders, giving her the air of a strong career woman.

Wu Runhao completely agreed with Fang Yao's actions. In his opinion, Fang Xiaoyu was a ticking time bomb, insisting on going to the front line. He was incredibly stubborn, and if something really happened to her, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Fang Yao.

A new photographer was added to the camp, while Yu Xing lost his chance to go out after handing over all the data from the camera.

Actually, life on the ship was much more comfortable than at the camp. The infrastructure was complete, and it was much more convenient to take a hot shower. On the third day at noon, Yu Xing was really "bored" and kept pestering Fang Yao to ask what the research group's current plans were.

Fang Yao appears straightforward, but speaks to his younger brother in a gentle and tender manner. Of course, a gentle tone is one thing, while a firm attitude is another.

"Right now... Wu Runhao is contacting his superiors to request adjustments to the plan, because the risk assessment for Dead Spirit Island is clearly flawed. Either we withdraw, or we send more elite troops; otherwise, we're just throwing our lives away. Who would agree to that?" Fang Yao, unable to resist his persistent questioning, uttered whatever he could say to him.

She thought for a moment and comforted her frightened brother, "Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you. Zhou Jing was farsighted in this matter, insisting on leaving the boat on the shore. We have the choice to stay or leave. If things really come to a head, I'll take you back, regardless of whether it's against the contract or not."

Yu Xing nodded thoughtfully.

He has his own room on the ship, Fang Xiaoyu reportedly fought for before coming here, saying she wasn't used to sharing a room with others.

As a result, Zhou Jing, one of the leaders, was very dissatisfied with him. It was only because Fang Yao and Wu Runhao defended him that Zhou Jing agreed to this unreasonable request.

Now Yu Xing has benefited.

He's now essentially a forcibly protected idler, not required to work. He can basically just wander around the ship, attending expert discussions or watching paranormal researchers and Zhou Jing's video analyses. As Fang Yao puts it, "As long as you don't go to the island and cause worry, that's enough. The rest is up to you."

After closing the door, Yu Xing took out a set of clean clothes from her luggage and went to the private bathroom in the room to take a shower.

He was picked up this morning and hadn't had time to change out of his clothes, which were stained with blood, mud, and rain from yesterday. Now that he had the opportunity, he immediately took a refreshing shower.

Since using the toilet and taking a shower are matters of privacy, the fact that Yu Xing's live stream was facing his room and remained still at that moment caused great dissatisfaction among the viewers.

[Damn it, it's screen-off time again.]

[I want to see this, damn it! Let me see!]

[Just a shot of the upper body would be fine, but Fang Xiaoyu is out of the question. I just can't resist Xing's looks, sob sob. This is such a rare opportunity!]

[I'm offering a hefty reward for someone who has seen Xing's body]

[Alright, alright, what's going on? Did the LSP Foundation people come in a group? (doge)]

[The LSP army has arrived]

The so-called LSP Foundation is a real guild.

Moreover, its ranking is not low.

Overall, it would probably rank around tenth among all guilds. Its name is suspected of plagiarizing the SCP Foundation, but the underlying principles are completely different. The foundation doesn't have high requirements for membership; rumors suggest that as long as you consider yourself a pervert, you can get in.

Of course, that's a joke. When joining the guild, the vice president personally oversees the process, and those with questionable character are not accepted. That's why this guild is quite popular. Besides its president and vice president being very skilled star players, the guild also has a lot of live streamers, and the LSP Foundation is responsible for creating a lively atmosphere.

They don't have any particularly hostile guilds, are polite to everyone, like to make their live streams lively, and would never actually do anything like spying. Besides those on the Righteous Path and the Mutation Path, there are also a few relatively friendly deducers on the Fallen Path who barely know how to control themselves.

You could say that it was because of lesbians—no, shared interests—that we all came together... maybe.

Rookie Tournament rarely last a full five days. Usually, if the competition is intense, the winners and losers should be decided by the second day, with the winners completing the hunt and the losers dying.

If a peace agreement is reached, causing the competition to be delayed, a large number of viewers will be lost, because most of the people who come to watch the Rookie Tournament are fans of Combat Type simulation games, or representatives of various factions who come to assess newcomers; only a minority are willing to watch the whole story.

This is where the LSP Foundation comes in; they always manage to stir things up and get the comments section active.

Just like the Rookie Tournament at this moment, four-fifths of the audience had already left, and even the celebrity predictors who were just there to watch the excitement, such as An Nan, had left quite a few.

Yu Xing tilted her face back, feeling the water jets split into fine strands, evenly splashing onto her face, and her fatigue subsided slightly.

Hot water is so comforting.

However, just as he dried himself off, changed his clothes, and opened the bathroom door, he almost stepped on something that shouldn't have been there.

He looked down at the little paper figure that had been standing outside the door for who knows how long. "..."

Dressed casually, Yu Xing mood. He picked up the small paper figure, carried it to the softly furnished bed, and asked, "Magician?"

"..." The little paper figure was silent for a moment, then Carlos's somewhat resentful voice came from inside. "We're still suffering in the camp, and you're having so much fun on the ship?"

"Wow, your paper doll can really see, hear, and speak for you?" Yu Xing casually ignored the accusation and asked curiously, "That's so convenient."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm so jealous. Sigh~ I wanted to ask you, now that you've been taken to the ship, are you still going to explore the rest of the story?" Carlos's voice carried an air of nonchalance. "Or do you want to rest for three days? I asked Nightmare, and she said she's fine with it, she's just a little curious about what's in the center of the island."

Yu Xing laughed, "If you're curious, go explore! The focus of the Rookie Tournament isn't the difficulty of the plot, so if you're serious, the Dead Spirit Island shouldn't pose a real threat to us strategists. Just treat it as a game."
