Yu Xing Had Developed Claustrophobia

On the evening of December 12th, most of the Differentiation Tier participants who were not engaged in the deduction Yugi found a secluded spot to watch the latest episode of "Fear Hospital."

For them, "Fear Hospital" is currently the live broadcast program with the strongest guest lineup. Whenever it airs, unless it's another program featuring all-star contestants, it almost always leads in terms of attention and viewership.

Not to mention, this time there's also a big shot like Qu Xuanqing who could potentially advance to the Despair level at any moment. If we had known, out of nearly 100,000 deducers in the entire world, there are only less than 20 known Despair level individuals.

The level of mourning to despair is like an extremely high threshold, keeping most people out.

Of course, there are more than twenty truly desperate individuals, because many of them will have their "presence" erased by the system from the minds of other deducers. Many people firmly believe that the president of Single Prism chose to completely erase their impressions, making it impossible for anyone to detect any trace of them.

Qu Xuanqing is almost universally recognized as the strongest below the Despair level, Shafuri is no less so. Many people are waiting to see the show, and they have been waiting with their small stools for several minutes before the live broadcast starts.

Incidentally, for this kind of live stream that consumes real-world time, viewers also need to consume an equal amount of time. While watching the show, their real-world consciousness is not disturbed; they can even watch it in their minds while cooking, if they're not worried about burning the food.

Yu Xing had already spoken to Zhu Yan, telling her to make her own decisions for the next couple of days.

The live stream of Fear Hospital lasted one and a half days, or thirty-six hours. After each round, there was a certain amount of rest time, as well as a review of the results and the selection of the MVP.

The program will officially begin at midnight on the 13th.

He had gone through all the guests' information in the past two days, some from the intelligence exchange center and some from Zhao Mou, including the fixed mission locations and common diseases of the hospital where the live broadcast was being held. He already knew all of that.

For Yu Xing, the Yugi rules were like someone bringing him hot water when he was thirsty. If he wanted to kill Han Yan, all he had to do was make Han Yan fail in all three rounds.

But in addition to that, he also needs to tear off Han Yan's disguise in front of everyone and expose the true face of his "Righteous Path" Han Zichuan. Only in this way can he truly fulfill his promise to Han Xinyi and truly complete another revenge against Single Prism.

Yu Xing took a shower and found a comfortable spot on the bed to lie down. The sacrifice slot in the Persona Mask template only had three sacrifices: an unnamed unknown sacrifice, the Sheqing Dreamscape, and the Rose Mask.

The rose mask was already on his face.

In this way, apart from Qu Xuanqing, Brother Jiu, Zhao Mou, and others who already know what he looks like, even the guests encountered in the deduction will not see his true appearance.

As for props, props are not allowed in the Fear Hospital scenario.

The hands of the clock ticked away, Yu Xing heard a rhythmic, crisp sound that was somewhat hypnotic.

As the time was about to reach the last tick, Yu Xing closed her eyes.

The next moment, a buzzing sound seemed to come from afar and approach in his mind. His senses suddenly went cold, and goosebumps involuntarily rose on his skin.

He knew the space had changed; he had moved from his apartment bedroom to the "preparation space" that appeared every time he did a live stream.

The first time it was a passageway, the second time it was a black box, and this time... what will it be?

The preparation time for Fear Hospital varies each time, making it impossible to predict.

Yu Xing opened her eyes with anticipation.

At the same time, several split screens representing the Fear Hospital lit up one by one, and a large number of viewers flocked in, searching for the screens that interested them.

The live stream chat was flooded with messages about celebrity commentators entering a certain live stream room. Due to the caliber of the guests this time, the number of celebrity commentators watching was unprecedented. Many familiar, recognizable, and well-known names appeared, and each guest received a surge of traffic from their own network.

Unrestricted, members of the LSP Foundation flooded into the live streams of their favorite predictors, but their "superior," the vice president, known as the head of the perverts, had already entered Yu Jing's screen and started chatting with other celebrity predictors.

Qu Xuanqing has many fears and many admirers, including many highly popular celebrities. Coupled with her own strength, people with a tendency to admire the strong will choose her first.

Similarly, Shafuri attracted a large number of people from the Midnight Guild. This level of live-streamed deduction would even interest deducers who had reached the Despair level, such as Medusa, the guild leader of Midnight.

Interestingly, Medusa didn't enter Shafuri's screen, but instead made an unexpected choice—she entered Xing's live stream!

No one understood why the esteemed president would pay attention to someone who hadn't even met the requirements for a star predictor, until Medusa responded in a rather cheerful mood.

[Medusa: Come and see the stunning beauty that's real beneath the illusion, hmm~ What you can't see, I can see clearly!]

As everyone knows, Medusa possesses a super-level sacrificial offering that helps her see through all illusions, including the methods Yu Xing uses to conceal his appearance.

These seemingly sarcastic words from a mature woman made some people envious. Judging from her words, Medusa is quite interested in Hsing!

Some members of the Midnight Guild followed their leader to Xing's screen, bringing with them even more unsuspecting onlookers. They had only come to watch the spectacle, assuming that Xing's live stream only Medusa, but they were immediately dazzled by the luxurious setup.

What are the members of the Widow Investigation Team doing here?

Yan Li, Lu Xiaorong, and Yan Ming seem to really enjoy watching Xing's live streams as a group. Today, not only them, but also two other female members who didn't have any deduction tasks joined them: Song Xue and Qiu Ziyan.

It's like a team-building activity.

There's also... Xu Shu, the fourth-in-command of the Midnight Guild.

This man ran faster than his guild leader, and even greeted Medusa when she arrived.

[Xu Shu: Hello, Chairman.]

[Medusa: Hmm? You're interested in him too... How interesting.]

The uninformed public was shocked, while fans who had followed previous live streams were proud.

Look at him! This is luck! No matter who he's livestreaming with, he can attract so many big names. He's just amazing!

Some people even started gossiping. "I heard that Xu Shu and Shafuri have a very strained relationship and are often fighting amongst themselves. They just can't stand each other."

Shafuri is currently the third-ranked predictor in the Midnight Guild. Her strength may be comparable to Xu Shu's, but she is better at winning people over, unlike Xu Shu, who is a complete taciturn person.

Regardless of the audience's chatter, Yu Xing was temporarily unaware that he had lost a few seconds of sensory perception after opening his eyes, much like the confusion a patient experiences upon waking from a serious injury.

The first thing I saw was a deathly white expanse.

Unlike the previous two times he was in darkness, this time Yu Xing could clearly see that he was in a hospital.

The bed he was lying on had been transformed into an operating table, and various instruments were placed in a small metal cart to the side. His clothes were changed into loose white surgical gowns without him even noticing, and his oxygen mask was ripped off and fell limply beside his head.

This is an operating room. There are no Doctor around. A curtain covers the door, blocking the glass and preventing anyone from seeing the outside world.

After adjusting to the temperature, Yu Xing propped herself up and sat up, immediately looking for the screen.

Regardless of what the preparation room looks like, as long as the plot or Yugi hasn't started, the guests will have time to greet the audience, thereby gaining goodwill and popularity in order to receive more attention and points rewards.

Sure enough, he only needed to turn his head to see the large screen above his head, or rather, at the head of the operating table.

This time, the screen wasn't divided into several parts; only the comments were constantly refreshing. It seems the audience had been waiting for a long time. If a non-celebrity predictor like him has so many viewers, one can only imagine how many celebrity predictors there are.

[It's starting! It's starting!]

[Haha, I came here specifically to see Xing. I'm more interested in newcomers than established artists, or perhaps nurturing newcomers like Xiang~]

[He looks so fair-skinned, it must be really fun to kill him.]

Yu Xing glanced at the comments from various groups and saw that many of the people who came to see him were of Fallen Path, mostly treating him like an innocent rabbit and just wanting to see how he would be devoured by those beasts.

He also saw the messages from Medusa and others in his live stream, and a thought struck him as he secretly speculated about Medusa's intentions.

Just to see his face? Not at all. Medusa is surrounded by carefully selected and trained high-value guild members. There's no need for her to come here just for his looks and bring him traffic.

Perhaps Zheng Zhan reported something to Medusa after returning from the demon daoist's Tomb Palace?

Tsk.

Yu Xing let out a soft, ambiguous laugh, then glanced at the names of the remaining members of the Widow Investigation Team.

He could sense that, compared to the Midnight Guild, the members of this investigation team were not hostile towards him. Since the Rookie Tournament, the Widow Investigation Team had never caused him any trouble or disturbance.

The arrival of these people had a chain reaction. Many celebrity predictors whom Yu Xing had never heard of also came. Considering so many strangers, he decided to be a good person during this live stream.

"Hello everyone." As usual, he flashed an innocent smile and waved at the screen.

[Luckily, I'm back again! A ten-year loyal fan shows up uninvited.]

Look how shameless Fallen Path they are! Go for it, use your strength to slap them in the face!

[Are they still using offerings to conceal his appearance? He doesn't look fair-skinned at all...]

Yu Xing glanced at it casually for a while, then heard the static of the signal being interfered with.

Judging from the source of the sound, it must be coming from outside the door.

"There seems to be something outside. Is that one of the usual scary parts of Fear Hospital'?" He blinked, asking the audience as if seeking their advice.

This is a unique treatment at the Fear Hospital. No matter what the preparation room looks like, there will always be a scary part. Perhaps they just want to see the guests show their fear.

[Hahaha, the scare tactics are getting worse and worse. Everyone knows the information, so who's going to be scared?]

[I guessed it, but I can't be sure. Maybe the announcement came on, and the scary thing has already hidden itself. It'll just wait until I let my guard down and then... hehehe]

He glanced at the screen again, then walked towards the door and stopped in front of the curtain.

The goosebumps on his skin hadn't subsided yet. It was cold here, and he wasn't wearing enough clothes, so cold air kept sticking to his skin as he walked. His knuckles turned red from the cold in a short time. He raised his hand to hold a corner of the curtain, and his fingers were almost the same temperature as the white curtain.

He had a strong premonition that there was something behind the curtain, something bad, something that carried a sense of fear, and a feeling of being watched and drawn close.

Just then, the static outside the house grew louder, and a cold, emotionless female voice, accompanied by severe distortion, rang out.

"Attention, everyone! The first round of the Yugi will begin in three minutes. We will now announce the first round of identity cards."

"That's direct enough this time," Yu Xing murmured in surprise, and decisively pulled open the curtain.

In an instant, a face that looked as if it had been peeled off appeared before him. This face was pressed against the transparent glass, leaving behind dirty, dark red streaks.

[Ugh, that still scared me.]

[I had already guessed it, so I wasn't flustered at all]

[This is my first time watching Xing's live stream. He seems quite calm. Is he the calm type?]

The person mentioned earlier might be a cunning and scheming character with excellent acting skills. Long-time viewers wanted to explain this to new viewers, but for some reason, thinking about how the new viewers might be surprised, they silently retracted the message they were about to send.

The distorted face behind the glass flashed for only a moment. After it disappeared, the doorway became empty again. Yu Xing could see the dusty corridor outside the door, and the long, rectangular incandescent light bulb flickered as if it were not making proper contact.

"In this round of the Yugi, there are four Doctor, two nurses, and six patients. The patients suffer from lung cancer, hypochondria, claustrophobia, paranoia, heart disease, and severe hay fever."

"The task has been set up. Please collect your work pass or medical record card from the preparation area. The task you are to complete is marked on your work pass or medical record card. Failure to complete it within the specified time will result in immediate death."

"Two of you have been attacked; please be extremely careful."

"Now, please take your work ID or medical card, and within two and a half minutes, push open the door to the preparation area to enter the first round of the Yugi. zzzz..."

As the last syllable fell, the broadcast seemed to be severely disrupted, and the signal was interrupted.

Yu Xing seemed to be deep in thought. He lowered the curtain, turned around, and saw that there was a medical record card where he had just been lying.

"Looks like this round is all patients." He said, looking up, only to find that the big screen went black after the ID cards were distributed, and he couldn't see the audience's discussion.

Yu Xing stepped forward, picked up the medical record card, and glanced at it. The largest line of text on the medical record card was...

"The patient is fortunate to suffer from severe claustrophobia."
