What Are You Doing with a Knife?

Ultimately, Yan Li never revealed to his members why he had Yan Ming investigate Yu Xing.

The live stream continued, and upon seeing everyone's ticket type, Yu Xing gave a cryptic smile.

Very good, great teamwork.

It was actually a good situation for Ren Yi to be voted out. From his perspective, he was certain that Ren Yi was not the remaining perpetrator, so voting him out didn't matter.

For the time being, Yu Xing had to protect the last remaining perpetrator, because he still needed the perpetrator's help to kill Han Yan.

Only if he fails in all three matches can Han Yan be truly killed. Whether he kills Han Yan or Han Yan kills him, it's a good situation for him. On the contrary, it's more troublesome if they are both ordinary Doctor and patient, because he has to rely on others.

Fortunately, the situation is now clear. Both members of the Research Institute have left, and Yu Xing's mind is instantly clear. In his eyes, this Yugi is over.

Of the twelve people, three were killed and two were thrown out. The remaining survivors are Qu Xuanqing, Han Yan, the Pearl Seller, Shafuri, Zhao Yijiu, Zhao Mou, and himself, a total of seven people.

After losing both the Rubik's Cube and Ren Yi as interference, it became clear who the perpetrator was.

Soon after, the dean lost his temper again on the radio.

"Oh my God, the police are here. They said that after investigation, at least one of the two suspects is innocent, and they can't just take him away so hastily. Look at the stupid things you've done with your idiot brains! My Doctor, I'm so sorry, and to the pneumonia patient, I'm so sorry! You must find the real perpetrator quickly; I don't want to see this happen in my hospital again."

This is similar to the phrase "[So-and-so has been voted out, Yugi continues]" in Yugi. At least one of the two perpetrators voted incorrectly, so the Yugi is not over and there is still at least one perpetrator left on the field.

Afterwards, the dean urged everyone to leave quickly and not waste any more time there.

Yu Xing had to go to the garden outside the first floor this time. Before he left, he exchanged a wink with Qu Xuanqing.

Even before the live stream started, he had already confirmed the plans for various scenarios with Qu Xuanqing, including the scenario where Han Yan was an ordinary Doctor and patient like them. Once the perpetrator was identified, the plan should begin.

Of course, Yu Xing deduced that Han Yan was not the perpetrator based on the timeline and the other party's style of doing things. If the other party were the perpetrator, he would never have been left alive until now.

In fact, there was still a considerable amount of time left for his last mission, and they could have easily teamed up. However... whether it was Yu Xing, Qu Xuanqing, or even Zhao Yijiu and Zhao Mou, they had all completely separated, each of them alone.

This time, Yu Xing didn't take the stairs or the elevator. He walked towards the hospital entrance. The entrance was made of glass and, although it wasn't an automatic sensor door, there were no restrictions on the door handle. It opened with a simple push, saving time and effort.

He pushed open the door, and a gust of wind carrying the stench of blood blew in from afar, as if deliberately bringing the information that someone had died outside to his face, to disgust him.

Yu Xing didn't even glance at the garden in front of him. Instead, he turned and walked in the direction the wind was blowing. He strolled slowly around the hospital building and finally saw a messy pool of blood on the ground a few minutes later.

It was a pool of blood that had been smashed open, splattering out in a radial pattern. Above the blood was a window on the fourth floor, which was wide open at the moment. The curtains inside had been accidentally rolled out by the wind and were hanging on the windowsill, swaying slightly.

Yu Xing squinted, a thought flashing through her mind.

The fourth floor is mostly functional rooms, but this window has the kind of curtains you only see in hospital wards installed, so it's obviously a special room.

He recalled that he hadn't seen this room on the fourth floor much in previous episodes, and Ren Yi... after being identified, Ren Yi was dragged into this room by the dean and pushed off the fourth floor; the blood below was all Ren Yi's.

Was I identified and thus sent to a special room?

Yu Xing had a thought: it seemed that while he was organizing the clearing of the area to find the perpetrator, not only was he using Ren Yi, but Ren Yi was also using him. If it weren't for his underhanded tactics and prior discussion with Zhao Mou about how to deal with this situation, it wouldn't have been easy for Ren Yi to get out of the game.

Was it because Ren Yi knew more about the Fear Hospital that he decided to play along, gathering information through means unseen by the audience, even though he sensed the undercurrents within?

If you can get into a special room, even if it's just for a few seconds while being dragged in, it's incredibly precious.

But how could Ren Yi be sure he'd be dragged to the fourth floor and pushed off, instead of having his head chopped off by a fan like the Dark Thief?

Yu Xing stared at the window for a long time, and just as the viewers in the live stream finally noticed something was wrong with the room, he quickly turned his gaze back and drew the live stream's focus back to himself.

According to his task, he had to sit on the swing for a while and then water the flowers with the watering tools.

In addition, the mission mentions "maybe you'll meet other people" and "chat about gossip," which is a pretty obvious hint. It's just that we don't know who he'll meet, or whether the people he was supposed to meet are still around.

Based on what he saw during the first mission, the people he might be gossiping with here are either Han Yan or the Dark Thief. Now that the Dark Thief has been identified, there's only one left...

Yu Xing returned to the garden. He knew that anyone looking down from the window or from the balcony could see his every move. Without any unnecessary movements, he sat on the swing in his loose prison uniform, his slippers making a rustling sound on the grass.

He settled himself in, wrapped his hands around the iron chain hanging from the swing, and pushed off with his feet, making the swing swing.

Up and down...

The wind, carrying the stench of blood, continued to blow. Yu Xing remained silent, savoring this rare moment of "childlike innocence," repeating the motion of swinging up and down like an autistic person.

Because he was already fair-skinned, his face became even more pale after being randomly assigned the patient's identity. The stark contrast between his black hair and skin made him look like a lifeless doll at first glance.

This is what Han Yan saw when he walked into the garden.

The young man who wanted to kill him was swinging on a swing, like those eerie characters in horror movies who don't talk much but always seem to have a great time playing with things that can't be seen in the amusement park.

Fortunately, there is plenty of morning light here. In the Harmless Morning mode, no matter how many hours the Yugi has been going on, the hospital is always bathed in the morning light.

"Hey, it's you here! You startled me." Han Yan adopted Han Zichuan's persona, which was the price he had to pay for his disguise. In crowded places, he had to be Han Zichuan, not anyone else.

Yu Xing seemed to have just noticed someone approaching. She looked up at him, stopped swinging, and nodded with a slight smile, "Yes, this is my task. As for you, you're here again."

Han Yan gave a wry smile, "There's nothing I can do about it. The Doctor I'm playing seems to really like the flowers here."

He drew closer and closer, and when they were less than two meters apart, Yu Xing leaned back and stopped him, saying, "Stop, don't go any further."

He acted like a victim who had picked up a murderer out of fear that the other person was the killer, stopping Han Yan and getting off the swing himself. He pointed towards the flower stand and said, "You should finish your task first. Isn't the flower stand over there? I'll get scared if you walk towards me."

Han Yan shrugged. "I just wanted to chat with you about the gossip here."

Really.

Yu Xing's expression relaxed a bit. "Sorry, now that you mention it, I think I'm also a bit interested in gossip. Why don't you tell me about it?"

Anyone could see how abruptly he shifted the topic, but fortunately, the role here didn't require any acting skills or anyone's approval; all that was needed was to complete the task.

Having received approval, Doctor. Han Yan approached Yu Xing, sat on another swing, and raised his hands to show his innocence. "I'm not the perpetrator, otherwise I could have acted just now."

"Who knows?" Yu Xing still seemed a little distrustful of him. The stiffness in his back made Han Yan want to praise his acting, let alone the audience.

[Luckily, I was nervous. Does he think Han Zichuan is highly suspicious?]

[This is absolutely necessary, and it's not just Han Zichuan; now, anyone found by another person alone should be suspected, without exception.]

[Since everyone else is gone and you're the only one narrating, even if you killed me, not many people would know.]

[But Han Zichuan isn't the perpetrator. The real perpetrator... is busy chasing after Qu Xuanqing right now, how could he have time to care about Xing?]

[That's not contradictory to being happy or afraid]

[Conflict? Why would Xing be afraid? He must be faking it.]

What were they talking about?

Let's gossip.

When it comes to gossip, it's genuine gossip. Han Yan, in a tone of "Wait a minute, I'm just making this up," explained to Yu Xing the love-hate relationships between the various nurses and Doctor in the hospital. Yu Xing didn't know where this person got his information from, but he made it up so convincingly that Yu Xing quickly became engrossed in listening to the gossip.

Han Yan talked on and on, and the sharing session didn't end until more than ten minutes later. Seeing the system notification that the hidden gossip task had been completed, Yu Xing nodded. "What you said was really interesting. I hope we can chat more about it next time."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Han Yan smiled and nodded politely, "Then I won't bother you any longer. Sharing gossip under the flower vines is truly one of life's great pleasures."

Yu Xing wondered if Han Yan's mission was over easily. She watched him return to the building with a kind expression.

[Han Zichuan and Xing don't have any grudge against each other, right?]

[No, look at how they were chatting just now. Luckily, they trust Han Zichuan. It's good that they're chatting. I actually enjoy watching them have a good time together.]

[Han Zichuan is quite good. As a senior, he is so approachable. I didn't believe people who said he had a good temper, but now I see it's true.]

[Really]

[Really]

[Really]

No matter what kind of group you're in, there are always some words that will make you repeat them.

[Luckily, that's good too. Look how stiff he was when he first saw Han Zichuan come to see him alone. Luckily, he adjusted quickly and made a decisive decision.]

Both of them achieved the desired effect.

But...

When Yu Xing saw Qu Xuanqing and Zhao Mou's figures flash by on the second-floor balcony, the smile on his face, which was meant for the audience, suddenly became much more genuine.

That concludes this appetizer, Han Yan.

Yu Xing strolled leisurely toward the flower stand, bent down to pick up the empty watering can placed next to it, filled it with water from the tap, and then lightly held it above the flowers.

Having learned about the habits of various common flowers through observation and experience, he knew exactly how much water each type of flower should receive.

Yu Xing skillfully watered the flowers while waiting for some movement to come from inside the building.

When will Shafuri find Han Yan, who was mistakenly identified as the perpetrator by Qu Xuanqing and thus "accidentally injured"?

The injured Han Zichuan from the Righteous Path is easier to deal with than any of them. As the perpetrator, Shafuri will definitely take the opportunity to kill Han Yan first, thus completing this round of killings.

As long as the Pearl Seller don't interfere, this harmless Harmless Morning mode should end when the next identification is completed.

Yes, he has confirmed the identity of the perpetrator, because whether it is Qu Xuanqing, Zhao Mou, or Zhao Yijiu, as long as one of them is the perpetrator, Han Yan will die on the first day.

Their purpose in coming in was to kill Han Yan, nothing more.

There's no doubt that the Pearl Seller is a prophet, which leaves only one person as a suspect: Shafuri.

The reason why Siren and Yu Jing died first in the first round was probably the result of communication between Shafuri and the Dark Thief.

The strategists all know that Shafuri is protective of her own. As long as the Siren dies, it can be said that if Shafuri shows any anger, her suspicion will automatically decrease by 50%, making it easier for her to take subsequent actions as the perpetrator.

It was a clever plan. She wouldn't personally deal with the siren, so the siren was killed by Dark Thief, and Yu Jing was killed by Shafuri. Yu Jing's body was right outside the underground morgue where Qu Xuanqing was at the time. Killing him there would also conveniently tarnish Qu Xuanqing —why not?

Unfortunately, Shafuri's exposure was due to information asymmetry. She never imagined that this group of people were all after Han Yan, and that they could have easily identified her through a process of elimination.

"Etc!"

"Splash!"

Finally, a sound that Yu Xing came from inside the building. The balcony window shattered, and a man's shout was cut off halfway through, as if someone had covered his mouth.

Yu Xing looked up.

There, Qu Xuanqing's face was cold and stern. Her seemingly delicate and boneless hands were gripping Han Yan's neck. Han Yan clearly had the strength to break free, but at this moment, he could only weakly explain, "Cough cough... I didn't... want to kill you..."

"Then what are you doing with the knife?" Qu Xuanqing was filled with malice.
