First Identification

"Her mission should be in the basement." Yu Xing glanced casually at the siren's wound and knew what Zhao Mou meant.

He suspected that Qu Xianqing was the Qu Xuanqing, but in Yu Xing, such a clean cut was not difficult to make. Even if it wasn't Qu Xuanqing, he could do it, or even Zhao Yijiu standing here could do it, not to mention those non-celebrity predictors who weren't famous enough and hadn't revealed too much information, or Han Yan who had been hiding his true strength.

A single wound doesn't prove anything. On the contrary, although Qu Xuanqing is fierce, she is also intelligent. If it really is her, she would probably put on a facade so that no one would suspect her at first glance.

After asking the question, Zhao Mou realized what he had done, put his hand away, straightened his back, and stopped asking.

The discovery of a body here, along with the one that triggered the alarm, gave the perpetrators an extremely favorable start.

If the identification process doesn't point out one of the perpetrators but instead identifies an innocent person, then basically only two incorrect identifications are needed for the Yugi to end, and the perpetrator will win.

He should focus on preparing for the clue gathering later, instead of letting such directional things sway his thoughts.

Having decided on his next move in just a few seconds, Zhao Mou left the restroom, glanced at the clock, and urged, "Two and a half minutes left, we need to hurry."

Yu Xing responded and walked out with the silent Zhao Yijiu. The three of them were heading towards the stairs, but when they passed the elevator, they saw Yu Xing stop and press the [↓] button without hesitation.

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Yijiu's body reacted faster than his mind. He grabbed Yu Xing's arm, disapprovingly blocking the elevator. "You have claustrophobia."

The lobby is directly below the elevator. To be honest, it would be very quick to go down in the elevator, especially since the elevator had just gone down one floor when they arrived. Someone must have rushed down in the elevator. The elevator is now on the floor below them. After Yu Xing pressed the button, the elevator had already gone up in that time.

Yu Xing glanced at Zhao Yijiu's hand, then at Zhao Yijiu's cold expression, which seemed even more gloomy than when they first met, and smiled reassuringly, "It's alright."

Zhao Mou looked at Yu Xing with interest. "You mean... you want to challenge yourself?"

Patients also differ. Claustrophobia is considered a mild form, but it is still a persistent condition. To be more specific, it is somewhat similar to another pollen allergy patient in this round, requiring specific conditions to trigger an attack.

Lung cancer is different. At first, there is almost nothing this patient cannot do, but as time goes by, the tasks become more and more important. If the requirements are not met, the patient will die from lung cancer.

This is an irreversible process. Unlike claustrophobia, which can cause severe cases to trap someone in a confined environment and lead to death, if it's just the distance of one elevator, it will probably only cause temporary pain, allowing you to experience the feeling of not being able to breathe and trembling all over.

Seeing Yu Xing's expression, Zhao Mou realized that Yu Xing's second task was probably to clean the stairs. Otherwise, Yu Xing would not have given up on the stairs that were so close by and had to do something else.

He patted Zhao Yijiu: "It's alright, let's take the elevator. He'll be fine. How could such a smart kid like him seek his own death?"

The word "child" that came out of his mouth was something they had planned in advance. In front of the audience, Zhao Mou should portray Yu Xing as a junior, because Yu Xing's plan this time was very thorough, and Zhao Mou was fully aware of the psychological warfare that Yu Xing wanted to wage.

Zhao Mou added cheekily, "You'll get to see Xing's miserable face later~ Isn't that a way to redeem yourself?"

He was referring to the resentment Zhao Yijiu occasionally revealed: why Yu Xing was so much stronger than him, even though they entered the deduction together.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yijiu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, considering that time was running out and that Yu Xing might have a reason for not wanting to approach the stairs, she let go.

The elevator doors opened early, but because Zhao Yijiu was too close to the doors, they reopened as they were about to close automatically due to obstruction.

The three entered the elevator and pressed the button [1]. The elevator doors finally closed slowly under Yu Xing's gaze.

It felt better than he had imagined.

Although the elevator is small and enclosed, it's not dark. Getting [Clausophobia] in the harmless mode is a blessing for everyone, because there won't be any overlapping symptoms in the three rounds of the Yugi. This means that claustrophobia won't be paired with the [Screaming Night] mode.

Claustrophobia and screaming night, schizophrenia and twilight, depression and twilight are known as the three scariest combinations in the Fear Hospital Yugi.

However, the severity of symptoms still needs to be compared. Without the contrast of screaming in the dark, it is still a very strange thing for a claustrophobic person to personally put themselves into an elevator.

The instant the elevator doors closed, Yu Xing felt a suffocating pressure, as if the air itself was being squeezed, suffocating his breath. The elevator lights became dazzling and blurry, and his pupils began to dilate uncontrollably, as if every particle around him was poisonous.

He had never experienced this feeling before. It was as if he could no longer see Zhao Mou and Zhao Yijiu. His heart was pounding, and with each beat it felt like a bell or drum was ringing in his mind, making his blood boil.

He felt an urgent urge to open the elevator doors and rush out, and he had an inexplicable and strong aversion to this environment. His body was slightly hunched, and his fingertips were trembling.

Zhao Yijiu took a step closer and helped the somewhat dazed Yu Xing, but he had barely reached out his hand when they had already gone down one floor.

Everything ended before it even officially began. When Yu Xing saw the spacious lobby outside the elevator doors, he suddenly regained his senses. He instinctively staggered a few steps out and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Zhao Mou could tell that Yu Xing had lost control of herself after entering the elevator, and he mocked her without a trace of conscience, "Feeling it? Have you fallen in love with this kind of pain?"

He had thought that Yu Xing, who had overestimated him, would at least hesitate before finding words to refute him. But to his surprise, Yu Xing suddenly grinned, panting, and laughed, "I felt it, it felt great."

The system forced him to experience symptoms that his own body would never have. Darkness and claustrophobia were not a burden to him, but rather a reflection of Zhao Yijiu's view: black was their friend, the color that brought them the most peace of mind; claustrophobia was the best environment, separating them from all the people and things they disliked.

After leaving the tomb, he thought about the environment in which the Ghost Tree grew and had a new explanation for his views. If he really had an unclear connection with the Ghost Tree, then it would be normal for him to have similar habits to the Ghost Tree!

Today was the first time he had experienced fear in a claustrophobic environment.

After I came to my senses, it felt so good.

Zhao Mou... Zhao Mou had nothing to say.

Fine, you're highly alienated, so you get to decide. I don't understand you.

The three of them stepped out of the elevator, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Looking at Yu Xing's expression, Qu Xuanqing subconsciously wanted to take a step forward, but as soon as she moved her toes, she saw Zhao Yijiu's hand, which had not yet been withdrawn.

She felt relieved knowing someone was supporting this reckless guy.

Qu Xuanqing glanced at Zhao Yijiu with an inscrutable look. In private, when Yu Xing talked to her about her intention to form a team, Zhao Yijiu was the first person she included.

She had seen Zhao Yijiu in a previous live stream, but this was the first time she had met her in person. As for her future teammate, especially one personally chosen by Yu Xing, her hostility had subsided considerably.

Zhao Yijiu felt an undeniable gaze, looked up and coldly returned it. Her dark red eyes brightened for a moment, almost blood red, when she saw Qu Xuanqing.

He frowned, thinking, "Is this the woman who's been controlling Yu Xing, as others have said?"

Although he didn't believe Yu Xing could be suppressed by others, and Yu Xing herself had said that Qu Xuanqing was his friend, Zhao Yijiu still harbored great wariness towards this woman whose reputation was always associated with [brutal], [evil], and [bloodthirsty].

The blood within him was also screaming, the vengeful spirit's hostility towards this woman.

Qu Xuanqing and Zhao Yijiu's eye contact was naturally noticed by those who were paying attention. Now that almost everyone had returned, Shafuri stood not far from Han Yan and the Dark Thief, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed. Noticing Xing's condition, she smiled knowingly.

Ren Yi still brought his "apprentice," a chubby Rubik's Rubik's Cube was actually a bit shy. He wore thick, original-style glasses and hid behind Ren Yi, as if he was uncomfortable with other people's gazes. Even when looking at others, he would hide behind his lenses.

The Pearl Seller brought by Han Yan had a well-behaved-looking braided hairstyle and was said to be a Righteous Path. Of course, Yu Xing didn't believe a word of it.

The Pearl Seller had a cool and aloof demeanor, like a noble Saintess. She stood alone at the farthest point from the elevator, her clear eyes extending outwards. Her deep blue eyes seemed to be a combination of the sky and the sea, profound and exquisite. Illuminated by the lobby lights, they even seemed to contain some shimmering substances like the foam left by broken waves.

She may not be considered exceptionally beautiful, but her eyes are stunning, and her aura is captivating.

Yu Xing glanced at her.

The question is, after Yu Xing, Zhao Mou, and Zhao Yijiu arrive, will anyone else come back?

The people here only know that there is a corpse.

Yu Xing and the others knew that there was a second body.

Judging from those present, it was immediately clear who the first body belonged to.

Yu Jing.

The three of them were among the last to arrive; only Siren and Yu Jing were missing. At this moment, five minutes had passed, and the identity of the deceased had been determined.

Just then, the hospital director's displeased voice came over the loudspeaker. "What's wrong with you all? I tell you every day to work hard and take good care of yourselves, but you never listen! Never! Look, I knew something bad was going to happen. What are we going to do now? There's been a landslide outside, and the police won't be here anytime soon. To prevent this tragedy from happening again, you'd better find the culprit yourselves and hand him over to me!"

Yu Xing had shaken off the dizziness. He stood up straight and glanced at the people around him.

Han Yan's expression revealed undisguised surprise, as if he hadn't expected Yu Jing to die before the first identification.

Yu Jing is a very capable person, and the Yu Jing who could subdue him silently... subconsciously, everyone suspected the celebrity predictor.

The one siren who hadn't returned seemed less important; only Shafuri's expression darkened. She glanced around and sneered, "Finding a siren in the first round? Is this a show of force?"

Everyone knows that the Siren is her closest junior, her personally trained disciple. It might just be a coincidence that the perpetrator sought out the Siren, Shafuri's question is somewhat unreasonable, but Shafuri has never been one to be unreasonable.

Of course, no one would know how much of her protectiveness towards the siren was genuine, and how much was just for show.

"Look at what you're saying, you really know how many enemies you have late at night." Qu Xuanqing seemed to have some hostility towards Shafuri. Her delicate face, without even a smile, exuded a kind of intimidating, half-smiling charm.

Shafuri chuckled, adopting an overly polite yet insincere demeanor. "Yes, a guild as large as this one at night is bound to make many enemies... Oh, I remember now, you made about the same number of enemies all by yourself."

"Strange, I thought people would think you were easier to bully since you were alone. I think, just my opinion... This handsome guy behind you doesn't actually want to stand with you either."

As the two women confronted each other, Yu Xing "consciously" moved behind Qu Xuanqing, tilting her head slightly as if she didn't dare to get involved in the debate.

In addition, at the beginning of the Yugi, Yu Xing responded to Shafuri's greeting with a sincere smile, which made Shafuri believe that the rumors were true, not to mention the research results from the Research Institute.

The person who produced and published the results is right here; his name is Ren Yi.

Upon hearing Shafuri's provocative words, Ren Yi's eyes flickered. His long bangs, which Zeng Lai had finally forced him to style, fell smoothly to the side, obscuring most of his eyes.

No one saw the momentary guilt in his eyes.

"What did you say? Can you be a little clearer?" The fierce light in Qu Xuanqing's eyes finally became even more dazzling. Just like the rumors, she was the kind of person who would directly express her dissatisfaction whenever she was unhappy.

After she expresses this, the other person usually suffers the consequences.

Shafuri curled the ends of her hair, glanced at the silent Yu Xing, and scoffed, "How pathetic, forced by that she-devil... It must be so boring doing 'that' with her, right? Why don't you try it with me? Don't worry, I won't torture anyone who's interested in you after just one try."

She believed that nothing would enrage Qu Xuanqing more than ignoring Qu Xuanqing words and speaking directly to Xing.

The rules are set in stone; even if Qu Xuanqing is furious, he can't do anything to her. Besides, it's late at night behind her, so she's not afraid of this lone wolf.

Although no one else spoke, some people present and some people watching on screens became subtly excited.

Let's fight! Let's fight!

Yu Xing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow inwardly at Shafuri's overly open invitation.

He was very curious.

What I'm curious about is, what kind of expression and what kind of wording did Ren Yi, this old-fashioned person, use to write his research report?

The intelligence I bought late at night is truly outrageous.
