Alice Central Square is located in the center of the entire amusement park, which Yu Xing confirmed during his wandering.

Yu Xing understood Ling Heng's purpose in bringing him to the central square. In theory, all the facilities are accessible from the square, making it the best place to find in case of an incident.

Of course, this was just Ling Heng's intention to show him and make him aware.

He looked at Ling Heng's hand holding his arm and listened to Ling Heng's excited and abnormal tone in his ear. A faint, unrecognizable smile appeared on his pale face.

The killer is between the two lovers.

In fact, he had already come to this conclusion when he left Zhao Yijiu and Wang Jue's team and came to these three people. He wanted to observe Chen Jiu and Ling Heng.

All members of the Prism have negative emotions hidden in their personalities without exception.

Violence, cruelty, disorder, and so on, including...fanaticism that has lost its measure.

When these people are promoted to different levels, they all fall into corruption.

The secular wheel is detached from consciousness, taking away all ethical and benevolent thoughts, and falling into endless darkness, leaving only chaos and destruction.

Even some weaker members who have not reached the level of corruption can still see the shadow of corruption at the primary, intermediate, and advanced levels.

...

Yu Xing knew Zhao Yijiu's identity as a detective when they were on the bungee jump.

At that time, he got a note with clues and started observing Zhao Yijiu. The clues were about the detective, and after reading them, he casually threw away the paper without showing it to Zhao Yijiu.

Zhao Yijiu is not the kind of careless person. He also asked himself if Zhao Yijiu was always lying to people anytime and anywhere. With such an important clue and under such circumstances... Zhao Yijiu wouldn't do such a thing without questioning him.

Unless Zhao Yijiu can determine the accuracy of the clue without looking at the note.

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

In fact, in the eyes of someone who has lived for so many years, he has seen too much of the world. Some things don't need to be investigated thoroughly or have solid evidence. All he needs is a detail.

So, when they were catching dolls, he discussed something with Zhao Yijiu.

Originally, Yu Xing didn't know the identity of the killer, so he planned to pretend to be a detective and test the reactions of others. But halfway through, Wang Jue arrived and provided them with a new clue, giving them a broader perspective.

When the clue "The detective and the killer have never been together" appeared, Zhao Yijiu had already quietly told him the identity of the deceased, making it convenient for him to deceive...no, to test people.

So his task has actually been completed. He knows the identities of the two special cards and has obtained four clues.

Now he is just acting casually and helping Zhao Yijiu. He also vaguely perceives the true meaning of Alice Park.

...

Yu Xing's candlestick has disappeared and turned into a black mark on his invisible persona.

He was sitting on a stone seat outside the square, with Ling Heng standing opposite him, lowering his head and looking at him again.

Yu Xing really didn't know what was so attractive about his ghostly appearance. He didn't have a mirror, but he knew his hair had grown longer. If he came a few more times, he would probably resemble those ancient legends of corpse puppets.

Of course, if he changed back to his original state and his hair didn't get shorter, he would go get a haircut.

"It's really good..." Ling Heng muttered.

"You can ask me anything you want." Yu Xing found the other person's expression interesting.

"How is your body temperature?"

"It has dropped a lot."

"When you ghostify, do you feel anything else? Discomfort, nausea, or something like that?"

"No."

"Do you feel any urge to harm others?"

"No."

The more Yu Xing answered, the brighter Ling Heng's eyes became.

"That's almost equivalent to having the power of ghostification but completely controlling your own consciousness." Ling Heng muttered to himself. His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and Yu Xing couldn't hear the second half of what he said. He only saw Ling Heng starting to pace back and forth, a common action when many people are thinking.

Yu Xing closed his eyes and remained silent, pretending to be stiff.

Ling Heng's research direction was somewhat similar to what Prism had been researching all along. Yu Xing could almost confirm that Ling Heng was a researcher who hadn't reached the level of corruption.

He didn't have any good feelings towards these researchers...

Casually thinking, he suddenly felt a little itchy on the back of his neck.

Without reaching out to scratch it, he heard Ling Heng's footsteps stop, and he suddenly sighed softly, "What a pity."

Yu Xing opened his eyes.

Ling Heng bent down in front of him, the fanaticism subsided a bit, although it seemed more like it was forcibly concealed, revealing a gentle and warm expression. "Although you are a particularly good research subject, you can't stay here."

"Are you going to attack me?" Yu Xing asked.

Ling Heng was momentarily stunned.

But he quickly smiled and nodded politely, "Yes, I'm sorry. I guess you are the deceased—I can see Zhao Yijiu's identity as a detective. He was with you from the beginning and let you come here halfway, trying to confuse my sight."

The rules didn't allow self-exploding identities, so he admitted that he was the killer card with such wording.

Yu Xing looked at Ling Heng's face and felt that he was sometimes enthusiastic and disregarded etiquette, and sometimes almost elegant. He was like a soul torn apart into two extremes."Is Zhao Yijiu a detective?" Yu Xing asked, then shook his head. "I don't know what clues you have, but everyone's actions don't have a necessary logic. The same team formation can be interpreted in different ways, just like that... thousand-layered cake."

His arm also started to itch, but he still didn't lower his head to look. He just stared at Ling Heng's face with his pure black eyes. "Which level do you think you're on?"

Ling Heng smiled. "If your words are only shaking my intent to kill, it doesn't matter if you're a suspect. Currently, no one knows my identity, so I have a certain margin of error."

As long as there are no more than two people who know the identity of the killer, even if the killer kills the wrong person, they can still win.

"And, I think you're like the deceased. Over by the coffee chair, you heard my conversation with Ajiu, so you deliberately calculated the volume to distract us with Xie Ze." Ling Heng remained calm and composed, as if he had no intention of killing. "You showed suspicion towards Xie Ze, and even though a normal person might not say it, they would still have a faint suspicion that Xie Ze is the killer. The real killer wouldn't care about it. You wanted to observe Ajiu and me using this."

"That interpretation is not unreasonable." Yu Xing thought to himself that besides the basic operations Ling Heng mentioned, he did see bloodstains on Xie Ze's body. Although Xie Ze couldn't be the killer, he seemed to have done something he shouldn't have in reality.

The itching sensation on his back, chest, and legs became more and more apparent.

The current situation was that he followed Ling Heng to the central square of Alice, where there was no one around.

If Ling Heng killed him here, with no one seeing, it would just mean that there was one more dead person who knew the identity of the killer.

Unfortunately... he couldn't die.

Yu Xing finally lowered his head and raised his arm to take a look.

Under his skin, there were cracks that appeared at some point. Besides his arm, all the itchy areas from earlier were not spared.

Countless cracks seemed to have a consciousness as they burrowed deeper, and his wounds became deeper until he could see his bones, looking gruesome.

These cracks spread all over his body, as if someone had cut them one by one. Ling Heng calmly watched this scene, as if he had expected it, and whispered, "After ghostification, the sense of pain decreases. Although it is more advantageous for fighting, it loses the instinct to sense danger. Hmm..."

"Is this a curse?" Yu Xing stood up, not a drop of blood flowing, and asked curiously.

The flesh inside didn't know if it had rotted due to his ghostification state or if it was caused by this kind of tissue, but the blood had turned into a black viscous substance, clogging the cracks, looking disgusting.

Seeing Ling Heng's expression without any fear, Yu Xing knew that he probably had a backup plan, but he wasn't worried either because this curse was almost unsolvable for deductionists below the differentiation level.

"Aren't you afraid?" Ling Heng politely asked.

Yu Xing also smiled. He touched his neck and felt two pieces of lip petals.

They were indeed real lip petals, and his fingers could even reach into the petals and touch the teeth that were opening and closing.

Every time the teeth moved, a new crack would appear on his body. In simple terms... a mouth grew on the back of his neck.

He didn't know when it had grown, but in his ghostified state, he wasn't as sensitive as in his normal state, so he didn't notice.

In response to Ling Heng's question, Yu Xing said, "To be honest, I'm afraid you won't like the truth."

The fingers of the zombie were very hard. As soon as he finished speaking, he forcefully inserted them into the back of his neck, tearing off the skin and flesh where the mouth was located.

Once the mouth disappeared, the cracks stopped growing and deepening, as if they had lost control of the curse.

"I'm not afraid."

A scream came from the piece of flesh in his hand, and Yu Xing disgustingly threw it away, noticing that Ling Heng's expression wasn't very good.

Unsolvable for deductionists below the differentiation level... because the center of the curse was on the neck. If he wanted to tear off that mouth, he would basically die.

Could the flesh on the neck be torn off so easily!

Ling Heng almost suspected that Yu Xing was crazier than him.

Then he realized, perhaps... that was indeed the case.

Tearing off a large piece of flesh, Yu Xing frowned in pain, but that was all.

He controlled his ghostified state to fade away, the bluish-gray color slowly disappearing and turning pale, his usual complexion.

At the same time, those cracks and the area where the flesh was missing on his neck started to squirm and heal rapidly.

The black viscous substance transformed into blood and was properly wrapped by the skin. In no time, Yu Xing had completely recovered.

"Your sacrifice is not just one." Ling Heng's face darkened as he looked at Yu Xing, this "monster." "I underestimated you."

"Hmm~" Yu Xing moved his fingers and said, "I am the deceased you think I am, and you are the killer. Since you haven't succeeded in killing me, what do you plan to do now?"

Ling Heng's eyes flickered. "Of course, I will continue to kill. However, your research value is higher than I thought. I will find a way to take your body with me."

Yu Xing couldn't help but laugh at his overestimation.

Research value?

Ling Heng wasn't the first person to say that.

The previous person who said that had been wandering around for many years and was probably already a pile of yellow soil.

So Yu Xing nodded. "Right, if it's really as you said, then we must continue to kill."

However, he lowered his head to check the extent of his dirty clothes and suddenly felt unhappy.

Not having a cleanliness obsession didn't mean he liked to move around in sticky clothes. So he felt a bit annoyed."Ling Heng, how do you think your girlfriend would react if she knew you were the murderer?" Yu Xing asked.

Ling Heng shook his head: "I won't let her know."

"Hahaha...hahahaha..." Yu Xing heard something amusing, laughing so hard that his eyes curved into crescents. The upturned corners of his eyes suddenly emitted a ghost-like flicker, indicating that he was up to no good.

"You actually really like her. I thought there wouldn't be any love between two lunatics." Yu Xing's health wasn't great, he coughed a couple of times while laughing, barely managing to suppress his laughter, "This is too ridiculous."

"What do you mean?" Hearing the term 'two lunatics', Ling Heng stepped closer, his face darkening.

"Kid, leaving everything else aside, your acting skills are commendable." Yu Xing met Ling Heng's sharp gaze, "You know very well that I'm not the deceased, and you're not the murderer. Yet, you've gone this far just to help her, impressive~"
