I'm Hungry, So I Can't Hold Back

Memories surged through my mind, everything seemed to have just happened, so real.

After everyone remembered these things, the corpses in the trees stopped swaying. Suddenly, an equal number of rope loops appeared beside the corpses, hanging low, waiting for the wandering souls to do what they did every day—put their heads into the rope loops, and they could stop their reincarnation for the day.

The next time I opened my eyes, I was back on the island, a newcomer who knew nothing.

In a daze, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment before it began to flow again.

Utterly ridiculous.

With this thought forming in her mind, Yu Xing, regaining her senses, silently hugged her camera, making an expression of disbelief.

Unlike his outward expression, he inwardly expressed genuine contempt and disdain for it.

This setup might be fine if it bullies NPCs, but for the strategist, it's not just a loophole in the conspiracy, it's a loophole that breeds a conspiracy.

There is no other reason.

This illusion, aside from implanting a memory so convincingly realistic, couldn't be more perfunctory. Couldn't it at least explain their impressions of the Rookie Tournament within that memory?

Even the corpses look like the original NPCs. Do they really think the deducers are stupid?

Half a month is enough time for them to go in and out of the Rookie Tournament three times.

However, they are more flexible in their thinking and have the advantage of having more information than the strategists, while NPCs are different.

The members of the Armed Unit looked bewildered. They weren't particularly indignant, because in their memories, every day ended like this; it had long become a habit.

They rushed forward, not even noticing that four of their companions were standing still.

Nightmare opened her mouth as if to call out to these idiots, but before she could utter a sound, she heard the cheerful Doctor in the team say, "Let them go, they're just insignificant people anyway."

She opened her eyes wide in surprise and turned around, only to see A Bai touching his face with a half-smile on his face.

Song Quan also remained indifferent, seemingly unsurprised by A Bai's self-destructive act.

He already knew that there were psychics in the team, and more than one; otherwise, the probability of him being chosen out of five paranormal researchers was too small.

Someone used NPC Wu Runhao's influence to place him among the frontline personnel, clearly intending to take action against him during today's island exploration.

Now it seems it was indeed A Bai.

But A Bai is just Doctor and can't get close to Wu Runhao, so...

Song Quan looked at Fang Xiaoyu behind the camera.

However, Fang Xiaoyu's current state was not what he had imagined. She looked terrified and seemed very resistant to the rope loop hanging from the tree.

"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'insignificant person'?!" Yu Xing gritted her teeth and grabbed A Bai. "I don't believe I'm dead! My camera is so expensive, how could I not have an umbrella? Look, I have an umbrella in my bag. If it really rains, my first instinct will be to use the umbrella to protect my camera. Why would I be looking up at the sky for no reason?"

Nightmare: That makes a lot of sense.

But she's not stupid. She was fooled yesterday, thinking Fang Xiaoyu was an NPC, but now that she sees it, emmmm, she's so embarrassed.

Yan was quite certain that Fang Xiaoyu was also a diviner, and that her actions yesterday had definitely been seen through by the other party.

The fact that Song Quan and A Bai weren't surprised that she was still standing there meant that they also knew she was a predictor, and Fang Xiaoyu was undoubtedly behind it all!

The NPC roles in the Rookie Tournament are a highlight because you never know what schemes the other contestants have made behind the scenes or how much information they have revealed. Contestants skilled in intrigue often only need a small hint to cause a huge change in the amount of information among the five deducers.

However, Yan had no idea whether Fang Xiaoyu was treating her and the other two as fools, and was happily putting on an act.

"So this must be fake. You all remember the hallucinations from last night, right? This must be a new hallucination. Stop chatting and stop them!" Yu Xing pointed at the five people who were about to hang themselves. However, A Bai laughed and broke free from the hand that was holding him.

"You're really interesting, Xing."

Song Quan watched this scene in silence, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

Fortunately, it was his hunting target.

Yu Xing, caught off guard, didn't panic at all. Instead, she shrugged, looking like she thought, "It's no fun if you don't play with me."

Nightmare tightened his grip on the gun, knowing that in this situation, no one was going to rescue the five team members, which meant that these strategists planned to make their move here.

With almost everyone gathered and no NPCs to restrain us, it's the perfect time to make our move.

The only problem is that, although one link is broken in the middle, all four of them are still affected by the hunting ring, making it difficult for them to form an alliance or directly oppose each other.

For example, she is the Nightmare, while Fang Xiaoyu's identity as Lucky was revealed by A Bai.

They had no connection whatsoever and could have formed an alliance, but her target, the Magician, was to hunt down the next level of fortune—the prophet.

If she kills the Magician, the prophet will have no qualms, and the fortune teller will surely stop her.

Now it all depends on whether everyone's identity is revealed and what each person is thinking.

"Actually, this is the dumbest way to pass the Rookie Tournament," Song Quan suddenly said, glancing at A Bai. "The advantage of a strategist lies in their brain; using NPCs to gain an advantage and quietly completing the hunt is the best approach. But you insist on abandoning this advantage and choosing to fight head-on."

"Haha, quietly? You mean you had that kid push us into the water?" A Bai seemed a little disdainful. He shook his index finger and licked his lips.

"Sorry, I'm hungry, so... I can't hold it in any longer."

"You're Ghoul!?" Nightmare asked.

That's right. If we're talking about which of the five strategists most wants a head-on confrontation, it's definitely the Ghoul's supposedly incredibly strong!

Those on the Fallen Path or Quasi -Fallen Path will have a significant advantage in pure combat due to their resemblance to ghosts.

Yu Xing only told Wu Runhao about the Ghoul last night, so Nightmare and Prophet Song Quan couldn't be sure, which gave A Bai... or rather, the Magician Carlos, room to maneuver.

"What, you didn't expect Ghoul to be such an actor?" Carlos squinted happily, looking at Yu Xing and then at the muscular man Long Zhou.

"Both of the people I'm looking for are here. Right, Xing and Yan?"

The fact that the "Ghoul" was so proactive made Song Quan feel like an outsider.

Nightmare is the prey of Ghoul, while Happiness is a higher level than Ghoul. The Prophet has no direct relationship with Ghoul; on the contrary, since Ghoul also want to kill Happiness, the Prophet and Ghoul could even cooperate.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Carlos is truly Ghoul, and not Magician disguised as Ghoul.

The comments section erupted with excitement.

[Here it comes! This morning, the Magician and Xing had already planned it out: leave the Ghoul at the camp, have the Magician pretend to be the Ghoul, and kill the prophet when they get close!]

[I never expected that I knew the Magician before; they have great chemistry.]

[As someone who came from the Prophet's livestream to see him proven wrong, all I can say is, don't underestimate the Prophet. Has no one thought about the meaning behind his name?]
