Try Again Tonight

The young man sitting on the ground, half-hugging the camera, is the presenter in the live broadcast room. His narrow phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed, and the upturned corners of his eyes make him look sharp and composed.

His thin lips curved into a barely perceptible arc, and the mole at the corner of his eye was perfectly placed, giving him the image of a villain who appeared gentle and harmless but was actually dark at heart.

The live stream cameras didn't hold back or miss this moment, giving Yu Xing a close-up of her face.

"The first predictor, Long Zhou, can be ruled out as either Ghoul or Magician, so Long Zhou is either a prophet or a nightmare." In his mind, he had already guessed most of Long Zhou's identity, reducing the probability to one in half.

Because he had already anticipated that... given his willingness to reveal that he might know certain information, someone would definitely come looking for him.

Those with a strong sense of vigilance might remain inactive and not actively seek him out, but there are a total of twenty people in the Group One Group Two of the Armed Unit. As frontline island explorers, there is a high possibility that one of them has had his identity switched by the role-player.

He's a blatant lead figure delivered right to your doorstep; even the most cautious person would consider taking advantage of that.

The audience who saw Yu Xing's expression were first stunned, then surprised, as if their thoughts had finally connected and they suddenly had a sudden realization.

[Look at Xing's smile? I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.]

[Wait, does he know that Nightmare is a diviner?!]

[Holy crap, that smile is so cool! Even though I know he doesn't need to smile like that, and it's probably just for us viewers to see, I still can't resist giving him a tip.]

[The villain's laugh]

[So he had already anticipated this... his high-profile contact with Wu Runhao at the camp was all to get others to approach him!]

That's right, with over a hundred people, finding hunting targets and avoiding those who want to hunt them is too much trouble.

Yu Xing's strategy was to use Fang Xiaoyu's identity to openly attract the attention of other deducers, act as a clue NPC, and thus calmly select targets.

That's so mean!

[I hope he doesn't end up on the Fallen Path; I think he has the potential to be a villain.]

[The villain's facial features shaped my worldview. I've decided that if he survives, I'll watch whatever shows he's on.]

An Nan tipped "Lucky" 500 points.

[An Nan: If it's the Fallen Path, I support him killing the Ghoul. I prefer Sachi to the Ghoul's weak control and brutality.]

Qu Xuanqing rewarded "Lucky" with 1000 points.

There are limits on donations in the Rookie Tournament; the maximum donation is 1000 points.

[Awesome, boss!]

[... Qu Xuanqing? Did I misread it? A tip?]

[Qu Xuanqing: He won't be on the Fallen Path. The dogs above can shut up now, or I'll shut them up for you.]

The biggest show of the year!

Qu Xuanqing confronts An Nan!

To be fair, these two are not in the same league; Qu Xuanqing himself is far superior to An Nan.

Despite his usual arrogance, An Nan didn't dare to talk back at all when he encountered Qu Xuanqing.

The question is, why is Qu Xuanqing so certain that Xing wouldn't be on the Fallen Path?

Just as other people were beginning to speculate about the relationship between Qu Xuanqing and Xing, someone else chimed in.

Zhao Mou rewarded "Lucky" with 501 points.

[Zhao Mou: I'm so poor.]

He is Zhao Mou Zhao family who, like Qu Xuanqing, belongs to the Mutation Path, and is a rising star recently.

The Zhao family has a unique characteristic: due to their strong intelligence capabilities, they are very wealthy both in reality and in the Yugi.

That extra 1 point seemed to be mocking An Nan.

[An Nan: Are you tired of living?]

Everyone knows who An Nan is talking about. He can't afford to offend Qu Xuanqing, but he can afford to offend Zhao Mou.

However, although Zhao Mou usually appears refined and sophisticated, he is actually quite despicable.

[Zhao Mou: You actually said Qu Xuanqing is tired of living!? To be honest, I admire you.]

[An Nan: I am not!]

However, neither Qu Xuanqing nor Zhao Mou responded to him with any more comments. Considering that there were other star players from other factions in the live stream, An Nan, who valued his reputation, did not want to escalate the situation, so he kept quiet.

As for his plans to find Zhao Mou in reality and torture and kill Zhao Mou, that's another story.

The Ghoul had a gloomy expression and was eating alone in the tent.

He was randomly assigned the role of a researcher, which was almost the worst possible outcome for him. He didn't want to stay in the camp at all; only by entering the jungle could he kill people undetected.

However, with less than half of the first day gone, and being a researcher with nothing to study, he naturally couldn't create anything like "the research subject suddenly went berserk and slaughtered many people."

He was suffocating.

Unlike the others, he knew who "Xing" was. It was said that her real name was Yu Xing, and that she had killed a promising woman in the organization.

Therefore, one of the Ghoul's purposes in this deduction was to devour Yu Xing in front of everyone, complete the task assigned to him by the person above, and incidentally make a name for himself.

Unfortunately, Xing was one step ahead of him and chose him as his target, so he had to choose another one. Seeing that everyone in the comments was recommending Yan—a beautiful woman—he readily agreed.

It's more enjoyable to abuse a beautiful woman, and her flesh must taste even better.

But today he wasn't even allowed free time!

Ha, he'll just have to wait until tomorrow. When the test subject is brought back by the Armed Unit, he'll have plenty of ways to break free from his identity and go find Xing and Yan.

He angrily threw the leftover dry food in the classroom, finding it tasteless.

Suddenly, the Ghoul sensed an unusual gaze upon it.

His abilities lean towards ghosts and spirits, and he has a very high level of self-awareness, so it's impossible for him to suddenly have a hallucination at this moment.

However, after surveying the area, he did not detect any human presence approaching.

"Who is it? I see you." The Ghoul's tone was cruel, clearly indicating his habit of verbally intimidating others.

Nobody paid him any attention.

The Ghoul looked displeased, but when he lifted the tent flap to look outside, his expression returned to calm.

There was no one outside the tent, or rather, the source of the previous line of sight could not be found.

Several logistics staff were busy with something, while wilderness survival experts huddled together exchanging experiences. The medical team received news that a researcher had caught a cold and reluctantly prescribed a box of medicine.

Everything seemed normal. The Ghoul retreated back into the tent, beginning to wonder if someone had witnessed what had just happened.

Then, that feeling of being watched returned.

The Ghoul became alert, to avoid being discovered. He didn't use any offerings or abilities, but simply checked the surroundings again.

During this time, the feeling of being watched is ever-present.

The Ghoul grew increasingly agitated and, using the excuse of going to the toilet, began wandering aimlessly around the camp.

The feeling of being stared at then disappeared.

"Come back. This test is enough. He is neither a prophet nor the San I was waiting for."

From an angle invisible to the Ghoul, a small paper figure swayed but moved with remarkable agility, making its way to the medical tent.

The man inside the tent was rather thin, and a first-aid kit was placed beside him.

The Magician raised his hand, pinched the paper figure, and received all of the paper figure's feedback into his mind.

"This is pointless. Could it be that San, the Prophet, and the Nightmare who haven't been tested yet are either on the ship or with the first and second Armed Unit and their entourage?" He was alone in the tent, and his temporary roommate was the Doctor accompanying the Group Two Armed Unit.

So he spoke in a low voice, hoping the audience would hear him and maybe even give him some tips.

"I'll try again tonight... Hmm, I'm not some pervert who peeks at people sleeping~"
