The fragile neck was exposed to the ghost's claws, but Yu Xing remained indifferent. He even mocked the ghost. A few seconds later, he felt Fang Rui's hand slowly loosen, and then he casually stepped back and said, "As expected, the ghost summoned when taking the battery can only scare people and cannot kill them."

Fang Rui's voice was intermittent and almost lost its function after being ghostified. "How... did you know?"

"I suspected it from the beginning. After all, this is just a new member test, and there shouldn't be so many death points." Yu Xing put the battery in his pocket and said, "If taking the battery is so risky, then don't play."

The one who confirmed this for me was the female ghost, Tang Yuan. She was pretending not to see me and Zhao Yijiu when she was pasted on the window of the data display room. In fact, from that angle, she could clearly see us. Why didn't she come in? Because she can't kill people. So why did she chase us?

Yu Xing patted Fang Rui's shoulder, and the coolness flowed into his body. "Just like what you did just now, delay time. As long as you use scare tactics to make us forget to change the battery, and the camera shuts down for five minutes, we will become lambs to be slaughtered by you."

Fang Rui looked at him silently for a while, and then said, "Since... you already... know... I'll let you go. You can leave after three hours."

Yu Xing tilted his head and said, "You let me go? Don't be silly. Did I say I would let you go?"

He yawned and raised his camera. "Zhao Yijiu is probably in trouble. Since he gave me the battery just now, he won't die this time."

The camera aimed at Fang Rui, and Fang Rui screamed and ran away.

"Come on, don't run. I still have to save him. Let's hurry up and look at the camera. Don't want to? Should I shout 'cheese'?"

...

"Peng!"

A large wooden board was accidentally kicked out of the hall, and Zhao Yijiu felt a dull pain in his right leg, and his body was already soaked in sweat.

There is a very unfavorable thing in front of him-Tang Li's speed is faster than Tang Yuan's!

He used the turn when running to take a look at the back with the corner of his eye.

The specter chased him relentlessly, with a grin showing its decaying mouth, slender blood tongue, and white throat bone inside.

Tang Yuan was thrown off a little, but Tang Li had a strong tendency to catch up with him.

Even though Zhao Yijiu was agile and had good physical strength, after such a long chase, he was already at the end of the road.His energy was draining away, and what was most unbearable was the cold breath that kept wrapping around him, making his movements slower and his mentality gradually collapsing.

His knife couldn't resist the breath from the specter.

The ghostified Tang Li, with her elongated tongue, didn't give him a chance to think of a solution. With a flick of her protruding eyeballs, her sharp nails pierced through Zhao Yijiu's scapula.

Zhao Yijiu heard a faint wind and only had time to dodge to the left to avoid a fatal blow, but he felt a severe pain. If he hadn't dodged, the claw would have pierced his chest!

But his chance of escape was obviously slim.

The ghost approached, and the icy temperature penetrated his clothes and reached Zhao Yijiu's back. The sharp nails on his scapula were pulled out, bringing up a splash of blood. Zhao Yijiu groaned in pain and bit back with his elbow, then immediately grabbed the knife and slashed up from the specter's abdomen.

The swollen skin was cut open. Tang Li only paused for a moment, apparently not feeling much pain.

Her big mouth with blood gurgling open, her tongue curled up, and she bit down——

Zhao Yijiu closed his eyes unwillingly, not wanting to see the structure of the specter's mouth at the moment of his death.

But the imagined death did not come. Instead, as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt a force pulling the specter out, and a breaking sound approached rapidly, "Boom"——

The specter was kicked and flew, hitting the wall. Along with it, Zhao Yijiu's camera, which he had been carrying diligently, was snatched from his hand by the newcomer.

Who was it!?

Zhao Yijiu opened his eyes and saw a blurry figure rolling sharply in the darkness, putting his camera on his leg and changing the battery.

The ghost hung its tongue and climbed up, ignoring the person and rushing straight toward Zhao Yijiu.

Zhao Yijiu instinctively dodged, but before the ghost got close, the camera that had just changed its battery lit up——

The faint light mixed with the specter's unwilling roar, also showing a face that was relatively familiar to Zhao Yijiu, with slightly raised corners of the eyes.

Tang Li angrily shouted twice and turned around to disappear around the corner. Tang Yuan behind her saw the situation was not good and also turned her head and ran away.

Yu Xing was kneeling on one knee on the side, laughing with a smile on his face when the ghost slipped away. He turned his head and waved to Zhao Yijiu, "Still alive, my friend?"

What an inappropriate way to greet someone!

There were two cameras beside Yu Xing, one on the ground and one in his hand. It was obvious whose belonged to whom.

Zhao Yijiu was still in shock, a cold sweat dripping down his chin. He looked at the person who appeared out of nowhere, showing an unusual expression of astonishment.

The person who kicked the specter and quickly changed the battery was Yu Xing!? Was he also so skilled?

The astonishment at this moment even made him ignore the pain of his shoulder tearing and the realization of the conditions for killing the specter.

Zhao Yijiu: "You——"Yu Xing looked up at him and showed a slightly gloomy and playful expression. He raised his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh, be a good boy and don't be curious."

"I..." Zhao Yijiu suddenly choked on his words. Who had ever spoken to him in this tone before?

"Come here." Yu Xing beckoned him over.

He hesitated for a moment before moving over to Yu Xing's side. "What do you want me to do?"

Yu Xing looked up and finally stood up with a strong effort.

Then his vision went black, and he felt dizzy. He reached out and pressed his hand on the shoulder of the uninjured side of Zhao Yijiu, finally stabilizing his body.

After five or six seconds, he covered his head and said, "I'm too anemic. I get dizzy when I stand up. Can I borrow your strength?"

"... " Zhao Yijiu: What can I say? Are you really not kidding me? I'm starting to doubt you, you know?

When the person in front of him finally recovered from his dizziness, Zhao Yijiu took his camera back and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. "Thank you. But your acting skills are really good."

He had been acting since the moment he stepped into this abandoned factory, and he had really been fooled.

Yu Xing picked up the camera that had been temporarily placed on the ground for his hands to operate and raised an eyebrow, pretending to be surprised. "Oh my, why do you say that?"

Although he said that, his tone was significantly different from when they first entered the factory. This made Zhao Yijiu narrow his eyes and feel angry for some reason.

Maybe it was because the other person looked too arrogant.

His face was as cold as ice. "You understand the state of the body, can pick locks, can act, and can fight. You really have a wide range of interests."

"Is it fun to play dumb?"

He had helped this "weak chicken" so much before, and he was worried about this thing.

Yu Xing laughed when he heard this.

The exquisite eyebrows on his face did not appear feminine at all, but rather added a bit of disrespect. His nose was high, his thin lips were slightly drooping, his wind eyes were cunning but unmoving, and there was a small mole at the corner of his left eye.

This smile brought a kind of Eastern beauty and a vague sense of arrogance that couldn't be shaken off.

He tossed the camera like a basketball and tilted his head. "It's fun. Hey, don't get excited. In life, you have to find some fun--"

Yes, when he saw that Assistant Hao did not leave footprints on the dusty ground, he knew that Assistant Hao was not human. He suddenly remembered that Zhao Yijiu had tested him with this matter before, but he had a bad memory and didn't pay attention, so he exposed a little bit.

He said he was going to leave, but he still went to the bathroom, a must-have scene in horror movies, to see what the ghost looked like.

As expected, when he met the ghost, he deliberately poked the mop handle at the female ghost's face. So what?

These behaviors hidden under his displayed fear have always been traceable."Give it back!... I just want to ask," Zhao Yijiu couldn't control his Tianjin dialect for a moment. He ignored the other person's impressive appearance and said with a dark face, "Are you pretending to be weak? Aren't you tired?"

"It's okay, it's okay~ I'm used to reminding myself constantly that 'I'm so scared' which can be a bit troublesome. After all, ghosts at this level aren't really scary, it's just boring," Yu Xing said, stopping the camera and making a clicking sound. He looked at the time and said, "It's already 1:10 am. There's no need to do this test until 4 am. I'm getting tired."

Zhao Yijiu then focused his attention back to the main topic.

He hesitated for two seconds and asked, "Are you here to become a deductionist or to find a job?"

"Oh?" Yu Xing made a single-syllable sound with unclear meaning.

"...You know about it, right? In this world, there's a supernatural game system called 'Absurd Deduction', and the players are called deductionists," Zhao Yijiu looked around and saw that everything was in a mess and dilapidated. It seemed that Yu Xing had just obtained the battery for him.

He thought to himself: As expected, taking the battery is not a problem, but turning off the camera will trigger the death condition.

Yu Xing knew about it earlier than him...

He gripped his knife tightly and continued, "This deduction company doesn't actually exist in reality. It finds people with the potential to become deductionists and, once they have enough people in a city, they hold a recruitment event, which is actually a test to obtain the game qualification."

In other words, those who survive this non-existent company's recruitment will obtain the game qualification for 'Absurd Deduction' and become deductionists.

"Although most people are deceived into taking the test without knowing the truth, there are still those who participate voluntarily because... 'Absurd Deduction' is a way for many people to fulfill their wishes," Zhao Yijiu said all this in one breath, feeling a bit uncomfortable himself. He looked at Yu Xing, who had listened to him without changing his expression, and became more certain of his guess -

The guy in front of him who acted like a tiger but was actually a pig was definitely a person who knew about it. He willingly entered this terrifying and distorted field because of some wish... just like himself.

He reached out his hand and said, "Anyway, you saved my life. If I have the chance, I will save you too."

Yu Xing felt quite interested in his serious expression and also reached out his hand, shaking hands with Zhao Yijiu solemnly, "Although you definitely won't have the chance to save me, I'm still touched. As an innocent college graduate who doesn't know anything..."

Zhao Yijiu interrupted him, "You're talking nonsense."

"You're being mean to me," Yu Xing looked at him with a pitiful expression.

"..."Zhao Yijiu exhaled lightly, holding back from beating Yu Xing on the spot. Of course, he couldn't gauge Yu Xing's combat power now. A man who took so long to switch from a squatting position to a standing position could actually kick a specter so far away.

He might not be able to win.

He didn't know if the former was real or just an act. This Yu Xing was full of lies.

"I don't want to know what you do in reality, and I guess you won't tell me either. Anyway, let's make sure we get through the test safely first. Can you stop pretending during this time?"

He was being quite humble.

Yu Xing agreed amiably, "Sure, do I look like the kind of person who would pretend?"

Zhao Yijiu: You bet, you look just like one!

With this thought, Zhao Yijiu's aura became colder and colder, freezing people.

"So, let me summarize the key points of this test." Seeing that Zhao Yijiu didn't believe him, Yu Xing immediately lowered his voice to show his seriousness. At first listen, it really sounded like the rigorous conference style without any sloppiness.

"First, taking the battery will reveal the specter's location, but the specter can only scare people, not kill them. Second, when the camera runs out of power, it will attract ghosts, and that is the real death condition." He thought for a moment, didn't want to stand, so he simply moved to the side and sat on a flat surface of an abandoned machine, away from the cold Zhao Yijiu, "The way to survive is to find a battery every half an hour. Although it will be frightening, there is no danger to life."

"That's right, this is the difficulty of the beginner's test." Zhao Yijiu nodded, acknowledging Yu Xing's point.

"That's it, it's even simpler and more boring than I imagined." Yu Xing said as he tidied up his messy bangs, shook his head with regret, and then snapped his fingers under Zhao Yijiu's wary gaze, "Let me tell you something interesting. I've already found a way to end the game early. I can tell you, but there's a condition."

"What's the condition?" Zhao Yijiu's heart stirred.
