Magician?

This word instantly reminded Yu Xing of the distinctive blue-eyed magician in the Coffin Village, Carlos.

What a coincidence?

But if the other party is also a newcomer... with that strange ability, it is very likely to become one of the top five newcomers this month.

Yu Xing asked, "I have a question that I've been wanting to ask you. How are the names of the personality masks determined? Mine has a word from my name, and I've seen some with a word from the personality traits added to the name."

For example, personality mask? Lan? Weak.

And now, whether it's a magician, a prophet, or a ghoul, they all lean more towards "identity."

Qu Xianqing had never filled in the common knowledge for newcomers. Usually, someone else would do it, and no newcomer dared to approach her.

But now, she experienced the feeling of being a mentor after a long time. It felt a bit fresh, and the one asking her questions was Yu Xing. Since she met Yu Xing, he seemed to be all-knowing and omnipotent, except for being good at catching dolls.

So, the current scene is really rare~

Qu Xianqing was very patient: "The name of the mask comes from the characteristics of the holder. Some people have obvious and concrete characteristics, like ghouls, whose abilities are obviously related to eating corpses. It's a bit more difficult to determine the name for magicians, as their abilities are more mysterious and unpredictable, and they may be good at visual deception."

"And your 'Xing' is not just a word from your name. It represents an extended meaning, luck, misfortune, great fortune... only you can know what it really means. In this regard, that Nightmare might be similar to you, with inner demons, nightmares, shadows, all possible."

"As for adding personality traits to the name, that is purely exclusive to weaklings. The system cannot find their ability characteristics, so it can only resort to adding personality traits to the name until their characteristics are developed, and the name of the personality mask will change."

Yu Xing listened attentively. He really didn't know these things, no matter how long he had lived. He had never had the opportunity to learn about them before.

After finishing, he became a little curious: "What is your mask called?"

Qu Xianqing fell silent for a moment. "Disaster. It means calamity."

She didn't wait for Yu Xing to continue asking and changed the topic: "I heard that you are participating in the newcomer competition. I investigated the other four people. Since they are all newcomers, there is not much information, but there is one you should pay attention to."

"Oh?" Yu Xing listened attentively.

"That ghoul... was cultivated by Prism, and his strength is not bad. Originally, you might have just been normal competitors, but as you said, you tricked a couple from Prism before and let one of them escape."

Qu Xianqing's gaze became deep and she said softly, "With the personality of Prism members, they will definitely not let you go. That person named Ling Heng has probably already told the higher-ups who cultivated him about your name. This time, your name has been put on the live broadcast list, even if you have no grudges with the ghoul, you have one now."

"For Prism, since they encountered their own member with you, they will definitely instruct the ghoul to kill you during the live broadcast. So..."

"So, I will kill him first." Yu Xing understood what Qu Xianqing meant. He hadn't been noticed by the Performers yet, so only lower-level members would come after him. Why would he be afraid?

It's just a few people targeting him in the newcomer competition, very simple. He also had no intention of letting Prism members go. If he encountered them, he would take care of them easily.

"Okay, I leave the ghoul to you. This kind of flea is annoying to look at. Please make sure to kill him mercilessly." Qu Xianqing mentioned Prism with a cold and sharp tone. It was well-known that she had a grudge with Prism, and she had killed them several times when they tried to kill her.

After discussing the newcomer competition, Qu Xianqing also gave Yu Xing some information about the current forces of the Deductionists.

The Four Guilds, Three Families, and several Lone Wolves.

The Guilds were recognized by the system and had their own structure and operating mode. Currently, the top-ranked guild was Midnight, which accepted deductionists from all lines. They had the largest number of members, and the guild leader was a powerful star deductionist.

The second-ranked guild was the Unseen Investigation Group, with only eight members in total. Each one was a star deductionist, following the elite route and not accepting fallen lines.

Prism ranked third, with an unknown guild leader and the Performer acting as the vice guild leader. This guild was very mysterious, only accepting fallen lines. The members were usually scattered, and many high-ranking members did not identify themselves as Prism members. Their secrecy was very good. If it weren't for most members hiding their identities, they wouldn't only rank third.

The fourth place was the Research Institute, with all members following the righteous line. They were very popular among deductionists because they often summarized deduction techniques and published methods of using props, which were very helpful to deductionists.

As for the Three Families, there was the Zhao Family, which sold information, the Luo Family, which learned everything about drawing symbols and formations, and the Xu Family, which dealt with ghosts the most frequently.

The Xu Family dealt with exorcism, the underworld, and tomb raiding. They didn't do anything related to the mortal world.

There were many Lone Wolves, and Qu Xianqing was one of them. Besides her, there were many powerful star deductionists who despised joining small guilds and were unwilling to be controlled by large guilds, so they preferred to be alone.

There were many things worth mentioning in Absurd Deduction, and Qu Xianqing was not the type to speak less. She gave Yu Xing a lesson for most of the day, and during that time, Yu Xing even made lunch.

Until the afternoon, after eating and drinking enough at Yu Xing's house, Qu Xianqing ended her "teacher" career and wiped away the nonexistent sweat with exhaustion.

Due to her physical condition, she lacked the ability to sense heat, so she could wear a windbreaker even in the summer.

"Hey, Yu Xing..." She suddenly remembered something.

Yu Xing turned his head to indicate that she could speak.

Qu Xianqing asked, "How is that little girl Zhu Yan doing now?"

"You're only two years older than her. Don't sound so old-fashioned." Yu Xing teased her first, then his tone slightly sank, "She's doing fine, always growing. I also intend to bring her to the forefront. When I leave, she should be able to work well in the Criminal Investigation Brigade..."

"But something unexpected happened the day before yesterday. A family member of a criminal was emotionally unstable and stabbed her."

Qu Xianqing raised an eyebrow, "She can still be stabbed?"

Yu Xing spread his hands helplessly, "There were other people around at the time. In order to make it look real, she let the knife leave a wound on her arm. She's still in the hospital now."

"Did you go see her?""I've been there secretly, and to be honest, that policeman named Han Jiang, he's been really good to her, making soup for her every day."

Qu Xianqing's face turned strange. She glanced at Yu Xing and probed, "Are you afraid that your father's position will be shaken?"

"What are you talking about, I'm so young." Yu Xing deliberately showed a dissatisfied expression on his face, "Are you trying to pick a fight?"

"You can't beat me now." Qu Xianqing said.

The next moment, the sound of wind breaking rang out. Her pupils shrank and she swiftly dodged, looking at Yu Xing, who was retracting his fist with a smile on his face, and flexed her finger joints.

"You're right, it's been a long time since we've fought, shall we try?"
