There Should Be Dead Spirits in the Cave

The next morning, it was still cloudy.

Dark clouds gradually gathered towards the Dead Spirit Island; it looked like rain would come soon.

That night, all the recordings from Yu Xing's camera were taken and studied carefully. Wu Runhao didn't quite believe that the team's experimental personnel could be inexplicably replaced by the undead, so it wasn't until dawn that he confirmed that this was not a new round of hallucinations.

The atmosphere in the camp was tense, and it wasn't until one or two in the morning that everyone finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

Around 6 a. m., Yu Xing, who was exhausted from a long day, was still sleeping when Wu Runhao entered his tent and woke him up to discuss how to deal with the experimental staff member who had been replaced or affected by the undead.

Yu Xing yawned, looking listless, and said, "Let's keep a low profile and see what he's going to do."

Wu Runhao: "What if he attacks the people in the camp?"

Yu Xing looked at him with an air of self-righteousness. "Brother-in-law, he only dared to take a bite of the corpse last night, which means he's not very strong. Wasn't yesterday's chaos the perfect time to make a move? We didn't need to wait until today."

Simply using NPCs to kill Ghoul won't work; merely taking advantage of their presence won't be recognized by the system as Yu Xing's hunt.

Therefore, Yu Xing needed a better opportunity, and incidentally, he could take advantage of a wave of Ghoul.

Speaking of this, he didn't expect the process of finding the Ghoul to be so simple. He only made a few small moves under the conditions created by others, and he managed to find the Ghoul.

Perhaps, thanks to this being Rookie Tournament, regardless of which line they will be on in the future, everyone present at this moment is a rookie, having experienced less than six simulations, and their various abilities have not yet fully developed.

The Ghoul possesses brutality and strength, but his strategic planning abilities are not truly developed. If someone like him committed a crime in reality without any special abilities, he would be the type to be caught the day after committing the crime.

Yu Xing felt he had overestimated the Ghoul; on the contrary, he was quite interested in the mastermind behind last night's tragedy.

He secretly inspected the Group One's guns at night and found that they were crawling with mindless little devils. Some of these little devils were clinging to the triggers, making them impossible to pull, while others had swallowed bullets, leaving the guns empty.

Ordinary people cannot see these little ghosts, but Yu Xing can. These little ghosts carry the aura of sacrifices, so the hallucination may originate from the Dead Spirit Island itself. However, the Group One that cannot fire warning shots is a human.

In the camp were himself, the Ghoul, the Group Two Long Zhou, and the Magician Carlos who had tested him.

So, the Group One who tampered with the equipment was most likely the one on the ship.

In short, Yu Xing successfully used her position and communication skills to get Wu Runhao to make a decision at 8 o'clock.

Because of the major incident on the first night, the team decided that starting from the second day, the paranormal researchers who remained on the ship would go to the camp to participate in frontline work. Before obtaining the necromancy sample, only five researchers would remain to prevent any accidents, and the rest, along with all unnecessary personnel, would be evacuated back to the ship to await orders!

The Group Three of the Armed Unit also returned to the ship to protect the people on board. Only Wu Runhao, the Group Two and Group Four of the Armed Unit, three cameramen, six medical personnel, five experimental personnel, four logistics personnel, and five newly arrived paranormal researchers remained in the camp, totaling forty-four people.

The research by geologists and other experts was postponed until the team developed an effective way to avoid the dangers before they could begin their work.

Yu Xing "kindly" kept the Ghoul at the camp, and as the "knowing" cameraman, he proved that he wouldn't be a hindrance and that he had keen observation skills, persuading his brother-in-law to let him stay at the camp to observe the dangerous experimental personnel.

Yu Xing stepped out of Wu Runhao's tent, she suddenly felt herself step on something. Looking down, she saw a small paper figure that had been flattened.

The paper figure felt extremely wronged and used its arms, which had just escaped death, to hug Yu Xing's shoes.

Sure enough, what was watching him last night were Carlos's little gadgets!

Yu Xing watched the paper figure without showing any emotion. Unlike last night, the little paper figure did not hide itself. Instead, it appeared openly in front of him, firstly to tell him that Carlos had overheard his conversation with Wu Runhao.

Secondly...

At 10 o'clock, the team, having completed the repositioning, was ready once again.

The island exploration became somewhat cautious, but it continued. At 10:20, the Group Two, having packed food and water, set off again.

This time, however, the accompanying personnel included Yu Xing, Song Quan one of the paranormal researchers sent by the team), and Doctor. A Bai who volunteered to join the team).

The other cameraman, Old Liu, was left at the camp to film "camp life".

Nightmare led the team on a route completely different from yesterday's, hoping to encounter something different.

Sure enough, the process was very much in line with the nature of the Yugi. After the first day's island exploration was fruitless, the second day's island exploration was never too boring for the players.

Deep in the dense jungle, they discovered a cave.

Upon seeing the cave, the thirteen-person group immediately stopped. Yan turned to the paranormal researcher right away. "Song Quan, what do you think this cave represents?"

Since the incident last night, regardless of whether they were materialists before, everyone now treats these paranormal researchers like treasures.

"We need to probe." Song Quan was a short young man who didn't talk much. He barely participated in the conversations between the Group Two members along the way, and he ignored the attempts to talk to the lively Yu Xing and the cheerful A Bai.

Yu Xing knew Fang Xiaoyu's general personality. After realizing that Song Quan didn't intend to pay attention to him, he lost patience and stopped bothering with him. On the other hand, A Bai kept trying to make conversation and became an important figure in easing the atmosphere of the island exploration team.

At this moment, Song Quan, carrying a bulging bag on his back, took two steps toward the cave entrance.

Yu Xing pointed her camera at the cave. The sky was already overcast. The jungle was alright, as there was always some light, but the cave was different. Just a casual glance inside revealed that the area a meter or two ahead was pitch black, making the entire cave look like a monster that devoured people.

As Song Quan drew closer to the cave, Yan raised his gun.

Song Quan calmly took out a scanner that I could hold, adjusted some data, scanned the cave, and with a beep, the indicator light on the device turned red.

"There are supernatural fluctuations inside, which means there's a high probability that there's a ghost inside." Song Quan calmly put away the instrument, his tone and expression indifferent, as if he had just asked if he had eaten breakfast.

"What kind of ghost?" Nightmare asked.

Song Quan looked at her as if she were an idiot. "How would I know?"

Nightmare: "Hey? What's wrong with your eyes? I've been nice to you the whole way, and you're getting all worked up, aren't you? Nothing's happened yet, so don't give me that deadpan look!"

She cursed a couple of times, but her body betrayed her, pushing aside Song Quan who was blocking her way and venturing deeper into the cave.

Having confirmed that there might be ghosts inside, they had no choice but to enter, after all, they were there to find the dead, yes, to die.

Before going inside, she also informed Wu Runhao of her discovery via walkie-talkie.

Yu Xing, carrying a camera, followed the others into the first place on the island where the plot truly involved ghosts.
