You're Acting Weird!

I never expected that someone as meticulous and even overly serious as Ren Yi would lie and include completely unrelated research results in the intelligence report.

Yu Xing's thoughts were focused on Ren Yi, and he didn't notice at all the flirtatious glances that Shafuri gave him.

But the audience didn't see it that way. Whether they were fans of someone or loyal viewers of the show, they were all focused on the screen in the lobby. Without a separate, detailed viewpoint, it was difficult for them to notice everyone's expressions.

Therefore, they were unable to see the faint mockery in Qu Xuanqing's eyes and the complete lack of anger in her gaze.

[Shafuri is something else, directly provoking me like that. It's only because this dungeon has so many rules that she's restricted; otherwise, how would she want to die?]

[That's not entirely true. Although Shafuri's direct Combat Power is definitely inferior to Qu Xuanqing's, Shafuri's abilities are more diverse.]

[Why should the third-ranked manager of Midnight be afraid of Qu Xuanqing? Medusa's protectiveness is such that she hasn't dealt with Qu Xuanqing yet; otherwise, this so-called female demon would be dead long ago.]

[The newbie upstairs is hilarious! Please do some research before commenting. This is truly mindless. How have you survived in this Absurd World?]

[To clarify the comment above, Medusa has already launched several attacks against Qu Xuanqing. The current results are: six people lost late at night, and Qu Xuanqing lost about five centimeters of hair.]

[This is a joke, it was burned by a guy who knows how to set fires, the person's skeleton is probably all ashes now.]

[As expected, Shafuri and Qu Xuanqing are still the most popular. Nobody paid attention to Xing after they appeared. If you ask me, was Xing really coerced?]

Upon hearing this, many people hesitated.

First of all, anyone who watched two of Yu Xing's live streams knows what kind of person he is. No matter how much of it is fake, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would obediently listen to someone just because he's being coerced. On the contrary, fans think that Yu Xing to find a way to get back at Qu Xuanqing.

But now, looking at her, Xing, who was standing behind Qu Xuanqing, didn't dare to respond to Shafuri's words, and seemed to be quite obedient?

[It's all an act, it's all an act.]

There's definitely something more to the relationship between Boss Qu and Xing; they might be working together to frame us.

There are still people willing to use their brains.

In short, the comments section was filled with heated arguments, but most people were just watching the show. They all hoped that Shafuri and Qu Xuanqing could resolve their differences here, Fear Hospital as non-perpetrators and not attacking others.

However, neither of these two powerful figures were the type to lose face like that. They might make a few sarcastic remarks, but they would never actually do anything to make themselves look foolish. At most... they would hold back and make their move when they could kill the other party.

Shafuri is undeniably a member of the Fallen Path. Thanks to the Lingren, Yu Xing has no liking for any Fallen Path, and if he can trick someone, he will definitely do so.

So Yu Xing quietly and subtly blushed from an angle where Shafuri could see her, as if she had been provoked by Shafuri's invitation, since Shafuri seemed to be the kind of woman who could attract men.

This minor argument was interrupted by Zhao Mou.

Zhao Mou is not only skilled in intelligence networking, but he is also a smooth operator with top-notch management and social skills. If it weren't for his slightly shorter promotion time and less fame, he would definitely be more popular than Han Yan, who was impersonating Han Zichuan.

"Calm down, the dean will have a headache from all this noise." He had his hands in his white coat pockets, not servile at all, and his tone made people feel relaxed, as if he really were a Doctor. "Fortunately, it's not gentlemanly to let two ladies argue for you."

Yu Xing seemed to have just realized he should say something, so he looked up and smiled, with a completely nonchalant air. "Yes, I'm sorry."

"Qu." He turned and called out to Qu Xuanqing. He didn't say anything, but Qu Xuanqing seemed to understand something. She silently looked away from Shafuri and smiled at him.

At this moment, Yu Xing's rose mask led the audience to imagine even stranger things about his appearance.

The person who can so easily win over the Qu Xuanqing must be incredibly handsome!

The argument ended without a resolution, and Han Yan stepped in to break the tense atmosphere, laughing, "Alright, the ones who should be angrier right now are probably those two floating in the sky. Yu Jing didn't get to use his talkativeness this time, and he's probably feeling resentful."

"When does the identification process begin?" The Pearl Seller seemed uninterested in the grudges between these people; she was only concerned with her deductions, hence her question.

Just then, the dean, having had his fill of gossip, spoke in a low voice over the loudspeaker, "Let's begin. Now, I allow everyone to give a brief statement to clear their name. No one is allowed to interrupt or respond while others are speaking, to avoid any collusion!"

As soon as the broadcast ended, Yu Xing was slightly taken aback. He could feel that something had changed in his vocal cords. He tried to make a sound, but he had already lost his voice.

Wow, that's a hardcore "no interrupting" policy; it solves the cheating problem at the hardware level.

Following the dean's instructions, the group sat down on the rows of waiting chairs, with the only one who wasn't restricted from speaking beginning to give his introduction.

It was Qu Xuanqing.

Qu Xuanqing sat with her legs crossed, her posture elegant yet casual. Her nurse's uniform accentuated her alluring figure even more because of her posture. Her face regained its cold arrogance, and her first words immediately put everyone to attention. "I pressed the alarm. The body is located at the entrance of the underground morgue."

"My task was to examine the bodies in the morgue. Because there were quite a few bodies today, it took me a long time. As soon as I opened the door after completing the task, I found Yu Jing's body lying face down on the ground outside. He had been hit on the back of the head by a decoration outside the morgue and died."

"I was in the morgue the whole time. The Pearl Seller seemed to be patrolling the building; she came in, glanced at the body, and then left. The body wasn't there yet, so the Pearl Seller can explain the exact time later. Besides her, I didn't see anyone or hear anything."

Since she was the first to speak, and her actions were indeed very much like a lone wolf's, there's not much more to say.

As she waved for the next person to speak, the second person to speak appeared.

It's Zhao Yijiu.

"..."

The aloof young man seemed unwilling to say a word. After a long silence, he briefly stated, "Hysteria. My brother and I went to the third floor to take a psychological test. After coming downstairs, I ran into Xing on the balcony, and we went on a walk around the building together."

Perhaps because his ending was so crisp, people who didn't know him almost thought he had finished speaking.

However, Zhao Yijiu, with an expression of annoyance, continued, "We encountered Pearl Seller on the third floor, Rubik's Cube. After we started patrolling the building, we found a second corpse near the sink in the restroom close to the elevator, a Siren's."

Wait a minute, it's Pearl Seller again?

She went down from the third floor to the underground morgue; that's quite a wide area she chose.

Wait, how did we get to the second body? What a coincidence, the first and second speakers both happened to have discovered a body.

Soon, the third person could also speak.

Han Yan laughed and said, "I was quite lucky. I initially accepted a 'mission' from the Dark Thief on the fourth floor to bring him a flower. The Dark Thief could verify my timeline. After accepting the mission, I went down to the first floor to pick the flower for him in the garden outside. Coincidentally, just like Cold Wine said, I was sitting on the second-floor balcony. He could see me, and I could see him too."

"Xing can also prove my timeline. After picking the flowers, I went back to the fourth floor and gave them to the Dark Thief. Immediately afterward, the alarm went off, and the Dark Thief and I came down together. As long as these two confirm that what I said is true, I have no time to commit the crime. This proves that I am absolutely innocent, right?" Even though the dean had said that no one was allowed to interact while others were speaking, Han Yan still looked at the Dark Thief and Yu Xing with a gentle gaze, especially lingering on Yu Xing for a long time.

Yu Xing seemed to hear him saying, "Although you want to kill me, unfortunately, you still have to testify to my innocence. How does that feel?"

Yu Xing returned his gaze with complete trust.

The next person was Pearl Seller, who surprised everyone even more by immediately declaring, "I've examined the person; the Dark Thief is the perpetrator."

Her clear gaze fell on the expressionless Dark Thief, and she slowly said, "The Dark Thief's stealth ability is very strong. I couldn't catch a trace of him leaving in the lobby at first, so I decided to examine him. I have paranoia, and my mission is to go out for a walk to relieve tension. That's why I went to the morgue, the third floor... and the fourth floor."

She quickly explained why she had appeared in various places, and then began to harshly criticize the Dark Thief: "I only found the Dark Thief when I went up to the fourth floor. After checking him, I confirmed that he was one of the perpetrators. Therefore, I don't completely believe him if he testifies for Han Zichuan. If they were two perpetrators, they could have easily colluded beforehand."

The audience was stunned, not because of how well she spoke, but because she was so willing to betray her own family for the greater good?

You have to understand, she was brought in by Han Zichuan, and they should have a good relationship. Now, she pointed out the possibility that it was a lie without hesitation.

"Then I should mention that I first went around the first floor, then went to the basement. That was about twenty minutes ago. There were still no bodies outside the morgue. Then I went up floor by floor. When I got to the fourth floor, about thirty-five minutes ago, I still hadn't seen Han Zichuan. After I examined the perpetrator, I quickly went downstairs. Otherwise, if I were alone with the Dark Thief, I was afraid I would become the victim."

The Pearl Seller gave a very clear account, and although Han Yan was suspected by her, he still looked at her with a smile.

The Pearl Seller concluded, "For this round, those who trust me should vote out the Dark Thief. Han Zichuan's timeline doesn't apply to me, because you might just be picking a flower, not giving a flower to the Dark Thief."

Next was Zhao Mou, Zhao Mou first clapped his hands and praised the Pearl Seller.

"This lady is quite objective. According to her description, as long as no one else jumps to become the Seer, I'll follow her and choose the Dark Thief?"

"As for myself, the timeline has actually been observed by others. First, I went to the third floor to give A Jiu the exam paper, then we went down to the second floor together to find Xing, and then we patrolled the building together and found the body. A Jiu and I were together from beginning to end. If you agree that the Pearl Seller involved, then A Jiu and I are definitely not the perpetrators. This is very clear."

After Zhao Mou came Ren Yi.

Ren Yi sat upright, as if he was always good at disciplining himself.

The man spoke calmly, "I was on the second floor, glanced at your medical records, and then finished my task of pouring hot water into the kettles in each room. I ran into Xing on the way; he seemed to be in a hurry and quickly rushed past me."

It was really difficult for others to discern from this flat tone just how fast Yu Xing was running.

Ren Yi continued, "I greeted him, but his reply was very perfunctory."

This sounds like an accusation.

Yu Xing: "..." Something's not right, Ren Yi is acting strangely.

Yu Xing instantly became alert, like a cat suddenly perking up its ears.

He felt that Ren Yi wasn't actually as serious as he appeared on the surface.

But before the viewers in other people's live streams could mock him for not respecting his seniors, Ren Yi added, "However, he definitely didn't disrespect me or have a problem with me; he praised me."

Oh? Is that so?

Zhao Yijiu was skeptical, but Qu Xuanqing and Zhao Mou also looked at him with slight interest.

It's like asking: What did they praise you for?

Ren Yi didn't disappoint them; after only a two-second pause, he added, "He complimented me on my looks."

Zhao Yijiu: "..."

Brother Jiu looked at Yu Xing with a complicated expression; the emotions in his eyes were so vivid that even his dark red pupils seemed less gloomy.

Yu Xing: "...?" No, I didn't.

I was clearly praising the male nurse.

Is Ren Yi a serious, expressionless, and secretly passionate guy?

Although he couldn't speak, Yu Xing still firmly stated his position. He smiled and waved to everyone, implying that there might be a misunderstanding.

[Hahahaha, Ren Yi, you really are something else!]

[I didn't expect it to be this funny before I clicked in]

[That's true variety show talent! Ren Yi is forever a legend!]

[The head of our Research Institute is no joke; I bet he'll remember Xing.]

[Want to bet? @gambler]

Zeng Lai, who was tagged, was in a good mood. In his opinion, if his new friend praised his brother, it meant that his brother had a good first impression of him!

As soon as the live stream started, Zeng Lai was already thinking about how to invite Yu Xing out in real life to have a meal with Ren Yi and cultivate their relationship.

The cheerful Zeng Lai deliberately ignored Yu Xing's disapproving look during the live stream and rolled a die.

On the screen, Ren Yi continued, "After Xing left, I continued with my mission. After finishing, I went up to the third floor to patrol. I calculated the time, and it was just as Zhao Mou and Cold Wine came down to the second floor from another staircase. On the third floor, I saw the Rubik's Cube. He told me that he had just finished his mission as well. Just then, the alarm went off, so we took the elevator down to the lobby."
