The Chatterbox Wraith

Yu Xing's statement that Han Yan was pitiful was, to some extent, genuine.

Han Yan knew some things, but not all of them. He believed that the Lingren had finally let him do something important, and that he could even take care of one of the Lingren's enemies along the way.

But how could the Lingren allow Han Yan to kill Yu Xing?

From the enemy's perspective, Yu Xing understood the Lingren very well. Even though the Lingren had allowed him to escape danger time and time again unscathed, it was still like a cat playing with a mouse. The other party would never let their prey, whom they hadn't had enough of, be captured by other hunters.

This time, sending Han Yan on a massacre mission... it's likely that the Lingren had already left something on Han Yan, something that would at least stop Han Yan when he plunged the knife into Han Yan Yu Xing's neck, thus saving Yu Xing.

Yu Xing knew very well that the Lingren's attitude towards him was not purely that of an enemy; the Lingren seemed to want him to completely submit and become a member of the Single Prism.

Destruction, protection, murderous intent, indulgence—these contradictions intertwined and merged into all of the Lingren's feelings for Yu Xing.

The Lingren wanted Yu Xing's life, and he also wanted Yu Xing's soul.

Han Yan was unaware of all this; it was a secret. Not only Han Yan, but Yu Xing believed that even Xun Huaren, who was closer to the Lingren, was unaware of it. The Lingren's possessiveness was no joke.

Therefore, when facing Han Yan, Yu Xing is actually in a position where he can never lose. Even if Han Yan successfully kills everyone else, he can't do anything to him.

This is the source of Yu Xing's confidence, while Han Yan is completely unaware of it. Isn't that pathetic?

The only thing he needed to be careful about was the life of his companion; the Lingren wouldn't hold back against anyone around him.

Yu Xing didn't give Han Yan any more time to think. After all, a few sarcastic remarks were enough for a bit of fun, and there was no need for him to actually remind Han Yan. So, he said something that was enough to divert Han Yan's attention completely, "Is the Lingren watching the live stream right now? He probably is, since I'm here."

He shifted his head, turning it towards the live stream camera that had shown the Fear Hospital in previous episodes. You could say he had a strong sense of camera control; this turn of his head gave the viewers a clear, full-face view of his face.

Then he simply turned around, his entire body facing the camera, making it seem as if he were speaking directly to the audience, as if he had stepped through the screen. Yu Xing's narrow phoenix eyes were half-closed, his brows revealing a gloomy and dangerous aura, yet a smile played on his lips, "Lingren, since you want to control me so much, it's only right that I borrow your power for a moment, isn't it?"

Yu Xing Han Yan was very dissatisfied with his actions.

This mere Struggle Level strategist, even with numerous entanglements with the Lingren, is not worthy of provoking the Lingren in front of so many people!

Then, Yu Xing suddenly changed his expression, completely ignoring Han Yan. He called to his three companions, plus Ren Yi, "This is terrible! We've gone over time. If we don't do something about the dean, he might have to give up!"

"What about this place? Are we just going to ignore it?" Shafuri raised an eyebrow.

"Anyway, even if Han Yan wants to break the rules, it can only do so after the truth about the Fear Hospital has been revealed," Zhao Mou chimed in, calm and dignified. "In the main hall, guests can't make a move. Even elsewhere, even if Han Yan is an assassin, he can only kill one person at most each time, and that's just a loss in this round. It's not a big deal. So, if you're going to be afraid, wait until Han Yan starts his massacre. What are you afraid of now?"

"That makes sense." Shafuri looked convinced. Indeed, the current conditions did not meet Han Yan's authority to take action, but since Han Yan chose to confess at this time, it meant that the subsequent actions of others would not make any difference to him.

"If that's the case, why?" Zhao Yijiu still had a question. He looked down at Zhao Mou and asked, "Since the prerequisite for breaking the rules is to find the truth, why not give up on finding the truth? Once we get out, the various forces will have recovered and won't be afraid of a mere Despair-level being like him."

This time his voice was slightly louder, presumably he was asking Yu Xing.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xing declared Yu Xing, "Mr. Ren Yi wants to uncover the truth. We cannot abandon our pursuit of the truth simply because we fear the power of despair. After all, we are the deducers, and we inherently bear this responsibility."

You're kidding me!

Zhao Yijiu knew this answer was unreliable, but since Yu Xing was willing to say it, it meant they also had a reason to uncover the truth.

As for how chaotic things will become after the truth comes to light, that's not something he should worry about right now.

Yu Xing said, "Let's go, let's go save the dean first."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the stairs. Qu Xuanqing immediately followed, and Zhao Yijiu pushed Zhao Mou's wheelchair closely behind.

Ren Yi glanced at the clock and followed suit, and the confrontation seemed to have inexplicably disintegrated.

Only Shafuri and Han Yan remained in place for a moment. Shafuri turned to look at the man, snorted coldly, and strode off to catch up with the main group.

In this situation, the previous conflicts no longer seem to matter, because with Han Yan as a major target, they can temporarily put aside their differences and unite against a common enemy.

Han Yan watched the figures of these people quickly disappear into the distance, his smile deepening.

What a positive group of people!

He was originally supposed to encourage Ren Yi and support Ren Yi in continuing with that puzzle Yugi, but these people were eager to lighten his workload.

He stared at the spot where Yu Xing's figure disappeared, and keenly considered another aspect.

Since Yu Xing knows that his plan is related to the truth, why is she still actively seeking out the truth? Does this mean that Yu Xing is also anticipating the chaos to come?

Without the constraints of rules, what gives Yu Xing the confidence to confront him head-on?

There was no answer to this question. Han Yan vaguely suspected that it might be related to Lingren, so he didn't want to think about it any further.

Han Yan's figure also disappeared from the live broadcast room in the hall, and from then on, the audience lost all clues about his whereabouts.

"Oh no, Han Yan has disappeared. What is he planning to do?"

This is a questioning of their own analyst by the forces involved.

The analyst, with a long face, patiently answered again and again, "I've already said it, the situation is very clear. Han Yan needs to wait for an opportunity amidst the chaos. Right now, isn't the Fear Hospital's own mission more important? He can't possibly mingle with others, so he can only find somewhere to stay by himself!"

"Then how can we stop Han Yan?" Shili asked again.

The analyst almost thought the person responsible for overseeing and collecting the analysis results had lost their mind, and nearly got into an argument with them. "Stop it? What can you do to stop it? If you conjure up a real-world version of yourself, you might be able to reach an agreement with the system to stop this simulation. Go ahead and try! If I could stop it, would I need your reminder? You might as well ask me how to destroy the Single Prism!"

Analysts have been burdened with too much.

Leaving aside the anger of these few forces, most of the strategists adopted a "watch the show" attitude, remaining indifferent to the fact that it didn't concern them, and chatted enthusiastically.

They had recovered from their dazed state and began to analyze what had just happened.

[Han Yan is missing, Yu Xing... maybe I should call him Boss Yu now? Isn't he worried?]

[Someone help me! I've lost so much money! I bought some items to restore my transformation level, they were so expensive, my savings are gone! Is there anyone who can take responsibility for me?]

[Feeling sorry for you... Why don't you ask Single Prism for compensation?]

[Thanks, bro. You've successfully shown me reality. I should just accept my bad luck.]

[But who knows what's going on with Yu Xing? What about him and the Lingren...?]

I don't understand twisted minds; all I know is that these experts love to pretend to be newbies to deceive my feelings.

[Ahhh, as someone who watched all three of Yuki's live streams, I feel so happy! My gut feeling was right, Yuki is definitely not an ordinary predictor, he has a story.]

[I hope your happiness won't be shattered by Han Yan, hahaha!]

[Get lost. I hope your big boss Han Yan doesn't get beaten up too badly.]

[I apologize for previously calling Xing a gigolo; it was awful.]

[So what role does Zhao Mou play? Is he a lucky ally, or something else?]

[I don't understand, waiting for the experts to post it in the intelligence center]

[Waiting for a pro +1]

[Can Shafuri finally fight alongside Qu Xuanqing?]

[Upstairs, you're completely delusional.]

These are just the real-time comments from people watching the live stream. The hype surrounding this event will not end here; it will definitely explode as time goes on.

Because there were so many bombshells, topics that would normally spark widespread discussion appeared on the same show at the same time, and the audience didn't have time to react quickly enough.

For example, Ren Yi explores the truth about the Fear Hospital program, which may soon disappear.

For example, Single Prism has revealed a new member at the Despair level. This member is none other than Han Zichuan, who previously claimed to be from the Righteous Path. This member has changed his usual mild-mannered ways and is now going to crush and slaughter others with his strength.

For example, Qu Xuanqing has an older brother, but judging from the surname, he is not her biological brother. However, she listens to her brother very much and wants to kill Qu Xuanqing. Finally, a point of entry has been found.

And so on.

The real outbreak is estimated to occur within 24 hours after the live stream ends. By then, most people who were in other simulation Yugi and didn't receive the news immediately will have come out, and those who were busy in real life and didn't follow the live stream will also hear about it through their own channels.

Viewers today may only realize that Yu Xing amazing, but only by calming down and thinking about it carefully can they discover the chilling implications.

"Qu Xuanqing!"

Since Ren Yi still had a live stream perspective, everyone tacitly refrained from asking Yu Xing about his strength and various relationships at this moment.

Shafuri's voice came from behind, calling for Qu Xuanqing, so Qu Xuanqing reluctantly glanced back.

Shafuri, her high heels clicking as she caught up, ran all the way to the main group. A smirk played on her lips as she wrapped her arms around Yu Xing's neck, then turned to Qu Xuanqing and said, "How about a temporary truce? Although I really want you dead, with my life also threatened, I'd still like to join forces with you."

Yu Xing looked down at the pale arm hanging down his chest, intending to brush it away, but found that the hand was withdrawing the poison he had previously administered.

This woman had a good sense of the bigger picture; in this situation, she proactively reversed the negative situation that was detrimental to everyone.

However, Yu Xing could also discern that although Shafuri had withdrawn the hallucinogenic toxin, she had still left some toxins that were developing in an ambiguous direction—a non-lethal toxin without too many negative effects.

Yu Xing gave her a meaningful look, but this look led Shafuri to misunderstand. She smiled and winked at Yu Xing, then was grabbed by the Qu Xuanqing: "Get lost."

"Oh dear~" Shafuri even started to act coquettishly, "Anyway, it was all a misunderstanding before. Yu Xing is your brother, isn't he? Why do you care who your brother is with?"

"Get lost." Qu Xuanqing only repeated this one sentence.

Shafuri pursed her lips and approached Ren Yi again. This time, Ren Yi, knowing she needed an antidote, didn't avoid her. "If I had known it would be like this, you wouldn't have wasted your time poisoning her, would you?"

His cold voice seemed to be filled with unspoken mockery. "We still have to collect them one by one."

"..." Shafuri choked for a moment.

Really.

If I had known she would have to consider the strength of her temporary ally, I wouldn't have used those body-restricting poisons. How annoying.

She continued to recover from the poison, and no one asked her to leave the temporary team; she simply blended in naturally.

"Zhao Mou..." At this moment, Shafuri turned to Zhao Mou's side again. Zhao Mou was sitting in his wheelchair, gripping the long cane warily.

"Everyone says you're a little fox. Little fox, can you tell your sister what you're going to do next? What mischief are you all plotting?"

"Excuse me." Zhao Mou was quite composed in dealing with a woman like Shafuri. He simply passed the buck to Yu Xing, "Since we've already come out clean, I won't hide it anymore. Yu Xing was in charge of this operation; I was just following his lead."

Is this even human language?

Zhao Yijiu raised her eyelids slightly.

Although it was Yu Xing who wanted to kill Han Yan, Zhao Mou actively cooperated. When the plan was being formulated, although he didn't know the details, he was clear that all the plans were made together by Yu Xing and Zhao Mou.

If they push all the blame onto Yu Xing at this point, wouldn't that just make Shafuri even more curious about Yu Xing?

Before Zhao Yijiu could finish her internal monologue, she was interrupted by a strange laugh.

"Pfft, hahaha, did you hear that? Isn't it hilarious?"

The moment that sound appeared, Zhao Yijiu's pupils contracted, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

Although he had never heard this male voice before, Zhao Yijiu could still clearly sense, through his special intuition, that it was the vengeful ghost inside him!

Weren't you being suppressed? Why are you laughing so happily!?

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?" The ghost's voice appeared again. It was unclear who it was talking to, but it was probably Yi Qing.

"Look at him, he's usually quiet, but his inner thoughts are so complicated. Don't you think he's interesting? Hey, are you mute?"

"Hey, you're so capable of suppressing me, why don't you dare talk to me?"

Zhao Yijiu: "..." What's going on?

Could it be that Yi Qing... established a communication channel between him and the vengeful ghost before the ghost even noticed?
