You should know that Yu Xing's behavior is too unpredictable. Zhao Yijiu became cautious and took a step back. "What conditions?"

Looking at Zhao Yijiu's small movements, Yu Xing felt amused. He didn't care how dirty the broken machine was. He bent one leg and propped the other on the ground, pointing to the knife held in Zhao Yijiu's hand. "Can I take a look at it after we finish?"

The handle of the knife was dim, and there was a faint trend of heartbeats. At first glance, it was quite scary.

"This..." Zhao Yijiu looked down and hesitated for a moment.

"Don't worry, just take a quick look," Yu Xing folded his hands and smiled. "I promise to give it back to you the way you took it. I'm just curious... Is this a sacrifice?"

"!" Zhao Yijiu was first shocked, then calmed down.

He had long guessed that Yu Xing was an insider and knew about the game testing, so it was natural that he might know about the existence of the sacrifice.

"Okay," he agreed and paused for a moment before adding, "This is borrowed from someone else, and I can't unleash its power."

"Normal. You are not a formal deductionist, so you cannot use it," Yu Xing gestured with his chin. "Do you need to bandage your wound?"

The shoulder pierced by Tang Li was bloody and looked painful.

Zhao Yijiu shook his head. The current environment was not good, and he didn't have clean gauze. It might cause bacterial infection if he used his clothes to wrap it up recklessly.

Although he could stop the bleeding, he only wore a long-sleeved shirt and didn't want to mess up his clothes.

He would just endure it. He had a feeling that it would be over soon.

"You are quite harsh on yourself," Yu Xing sighed and then shook his leg, patting the spot next to him. "Then let me tell you what happened in this pharmaceutical factory six months ago. Sit!"

"Not sitting? Okay."

...

Six months ago, the boss of Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Factory hanged himself in the office, causing small-scale attention.

This matter was quickly suppressed and reported as suicide to the public.

A plain case did not arouse public curiosity, like a stone thrown into the sea with no ripples.

In fact, in the police's secret investigation, this pharmaceutical factory not only sold fake medicine but also involved in some larger gray industries. It had a mysterious raw material supplier, which was found to be the source of raw materials for many illegal factories.

The boss of Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Factory had long been on the police's radar. The net was cast for many days just to lure out the supplier.

But before the net was closed, an accident happened.

Cheng Rui, a high-achieving student from the School of Journalism at Ruibo University, entered a network media company after graduation and found out about Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Factory in order to dig up big news and boost his performance. After taking evidence with his camera, he did not report it but used what was in the camera to blackmail the boss of the pharmaceutical factory.The pharmaceutical factory owner was young and not mentally strong enough to handle the pressure of public relations and excuses like an experienced person. After being threatened by Cheng Rui, he and his girlfriend, who was also responsible for the factory, paid a heavy price to make Cheng Rui promise to keep the secret.

But people are always greedy.

Cheng Rui wanted to get more money and make achievements in his job. With such a big news in his hands, he found it difficult to settle down. So, it was almost inevitable that he went to the boss again and made a threat.

His camera was his eyes and his weapon.

The camera not only captured evidence of the pharmaceutical factory but also the photo of the boss's girlfriend sacrificing her dignity to Cheng Rui for the first time.

The boss's girlfriend couldn't accept it and cut her wrist in the bathtub at home, leaving a note full of hatred soaked in blood before dying: "You should gouge out your own eyes!"

Once the first one happened, the second followed.

The girlfriend's death made the boss collapse. Eventually, one day, when Cheng Rui came to the factory to threaten him again, he hanged himself in the office in advance.

Normally, the boldness of a criminal is driven by interests. When there is no interest, the heart that had long been scared and vulnerable would become fragile.

When the police realized that something was wrong, the clue of the Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Factory had already been cut off by half.

To continue tracking the raw material supplier, they could only investigate this journalist who had caused such a big disaster.

However, at this moment, another bad news came- Cheng Rui had a car accident on the highway and fell into the ditch outside the guardrail, dying on the spot.

Was it an accident?

Experienced detectives knew it was impossible. The conclusion of this matter was that the raw material supplier had tampered with Cheng Rui's car, intending to completely cut off the clue.

In short, for different reasons, the boss, the boss's girlfriend, and Cheng Rui all died because of "evidence."

This is the origin of this deduction test.

...

As Yu Xing spoke clearly about the secret six months ago, Zhao Yijiu was suddenly more puzzled about Yu Xing's identity.

This information can only be obtained internally, right? Yu Xing looks quite young... Who is he?

Also... If Tang Li is the boss, Tang Yuan... is actually Tang Li's girlfriend, not his sister?

Since he was curious, this was a good opportunity, so he asked directly, "These two people have the same surname so coincidentally?"

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"Of course not, just like how Cheng Rui was called Fang Rui in the test, Tang Li and Tang Yuan must have used fake names. I didn't pay much attention to this case before, so I didn't remember the boss and his girlfriend's names, but it doesn't matter." Yu Xing shrugged and showed a subtle smile. "Calling each other 'brother' between lovers should be... a kind of interest, right?"

Zhao Yijiu's face turned cold, "How do I know whether it's an interest or not? I was born alone, unlike you, who seem to have been through a lot."

If Yu Xing could hear him, he would probably cry out injustice- who isn't a strong person since birth?

Fortunately, he couldn't hear him.After muttering to himself, Zhao Yijiu calmed down and thought for a moment. "So, the method you mentioned to end the test early is... taking photos? And... Cheng Rui is already gone?"

Yu Xing replied, "Yes, eggplant~"

In the event six months ago, in a sense, all the tragedies were caused by Fang Rui - no, Cheng Rui's camera. And now they also have a camera.

Assistant Hao reminded them that the video recording could not be interrupted for more than five minutes. This was both a reminder and a trap - most people's first reaction when the recording is interrupted is that the camera is out of battery. But in fact, the camera can also be turned off when it has power, like when Yu Xing checks the recorded video in the camera, as long as it is not more than five minutes.

Similarly, the most common use of the camera is taking photos. The boss and his girlfriend were afraid of taking photos, which led to their death. And Cheng Rui's subsequent actions were also due to taking photos, leading to his being silenced.

They all had hidden criminal facts, so they disguised themselves as job applicants in the test, waiting for the living to reveal their true identities. Therefore, this test is not difficult at all. As long as they take a photo of the three specters before they disguise themselves as humans, the specters will disappear completely.

Knowing the clearance method, Zhao Yijiu felt truly relaxed. He did not expect that the difficulty of his qualification test would be greatly reduced due to the existence of a stranger teammate.

He asked another question that he was interested in, "Has the supplier of the raw materials been caught?"

"Yes, the case was closed a while ago, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell you," Yu Xing jumped off the machine and walked to Zhao Yijiu's side. "Let's go, ask me any questions on the way. We'll get the new batteries. If we delay any further, I'm afraid you'll bleed to death. I'm so weak, I can't drag you."

Batteries are vitality - in every sense.

The logic here is reversed: since the specters will appear when they take the batteries, scaring the living, then... when the living wants to find the specters, they can also use the batteries. The specters will have to appear in front of the living when they touch the batteries. And the specters that appear due to touching the batteries will be ghostified, so they can be sent to heaven by taking photos directly.

Yu Xing thought it was great, saving him a lot of time.

The two of them were still quite energetic, and now they were almost unobstructed. When Yu Xing wasn't acting, the darkness was not a threat to them at all.

On the way, Yu Xing looked at the hideous wound on Zhao Yijiu's shoulder and asked curiously, "Don't you feel dizzy because of the bleeding?"

He only got a merciless reply, "No, I'm not as fragile as you."

"..." Yu Xing felt sad. There was a reason for this!

They chatted about this and that along the way, walked through the familiar narrow corridor, opened the rusty iron door, and arrived at the familiar office 02. Two batteries were lying quietly in the cabinet."Take the shot as soon as I grab it, got it?" Yu Xing held up the camera with his left hand and reached for the battery with his right, signaling to Zhao Yijiu, who had an injured arm, to be prepared.

"..." Zhao Yijiu, who had always been the one to hold others back, experienced the feeling of being taken care of for the first time. His forehead twitched, wanting to say that he wasn't that weak, that he could lift heavy objects with his injured shoulder without frowning.

After some thought, he decided not to say anything.

Actually, being taken care of felt pretty good.

He raised the camera, stopped recording, switched to the photo mode, and waited for the specter to arrive.

Yu Xing held the battery in his hand and looked around.

A cold, gloomy atmosphere spread out, making it clear that the specter had already arrived.

It was just hiding somewhere, not daring to show itself.

"Let me see~ where are you guys?" Yu Xing's tone was drawn out, sounding like a psychotic killer in a horror movie who wanted to play hide-and-seek with his victims. Of course, he was very righteous now, extremely righteous—

"I'm here!" Slowly walking to the office desk, he suddenly bent down and revealed a kind smile to the female ghost hiding under the desk, while decisively pressing the shutter button—a wrinkled, ugly, and terrified ghost face was captured.

The female ghost let out a sharp scream, turned into a pool of blood, quickly solidified and dried up, leaving only a trace of black marks.

Without even turning his head, Yu Xing achieved his goal and discarded the camera like trash on the ground. "There's another one, behind the sofa."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yijiu didn't have time to think about why Yu Xing could accurately know the location of the specter and immediately moved over.

Sure enough, the long-tongued ghost was hiding unwillingly behind the back of the sofa. Just as it was about to rush out the door, Zhao Yijiu captured it with a shot.
