Vol.4 - Chapter 10 – One dares to fabricate, one dares to believe

The Dead Spirit Island is not big or small, it's a place where you can walk from one end to the other in about three days.

Armed Team 1 and Team 2 set off like this, each with ten people, heading in different directions. Team 2 also includes a doctor, two cameramen, making a total of thirteen people.

They set off at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and expected to return by 4:30, and be back at the campsite before 8 o'clock.

After this situation continued for more than half a month, the team thoroughly explored the outskirts of the Dead Spirit Island, changed the location of the campsite, and tried to continue deeper.

Anyway, this team of over a hundred people didn't plan to go back within half a year.

If they really establish a research institute here and stabilize, they will retire after achieving success, leaving the experimental personnel behind and replacing them with more professional protectors and managers to take charge of the Dead Spirit Island.

The bushes kept retreating, and Yu Xing reached out to block the branches that reached out from the side, preventing the camera from being blocked.

This island has no signs of artificial interference at all, so there are no paths. Every step you take, you don't know where it will land. Maybe there's a deep pit underneath covered with fallen leaves.

It's overcast. The temperature in the afternoon is just right, giving everyone a relatively comfortable exploration environment on the first day.

"It's been an hour, and I haven't seen a damn thing," Nightmare held his gun and, relying on his rough and tough image, spoke freely, "This damn place can't be devoid of even bugs, right?"

One of her team members continued, "Yeah, even if it's desolate at sea, there shouldn't be absolutely nothing. The images sent back before at least showed some signs of activity."

Nightmare shrugged, and from the corner of her eye, she saw Fang Xiaoyu's pale face, as if she was exhausted, while the other cameraman, Liu Shu, was still full of energy.

She thought about it and felt that this was a good opportunity.

"Hey, Fang Xiaoyu, are you tired?"

Yu Xing wiped the sweat off his forehead and honestly said, "Yes."

"Everyone, rest in place for ten minutes!" Nightmare loudly gave the order.

No one objected. This one hour felt more like climbing a mountain than exploring.

The surrounding trees were common species, with dense weeds. Occasionally, they could see brightly colored poisonous mushrooms and unknown flowers with transparent liquid flowing.

Yu Xing "fulfilled his duty" and took pictures of all these plants, but he didn't see any ghostly figures.

At this time, Nightmare sat down next to him.

"Hey, little cameraman, did you enter through the back door?" Nightmare, for some reason, asked very directly.

Yu Xing frowned at first, but then relaxed and said frankly, "Yes! But my camera skills are very good, and I'm brave. I won't hold you back!"

Nightmare patted his shoulder, "I believe in your skills and courage, but your stamina is dragging us down."

Yu Xing, once again criticized for his poor physical fitness, "..."

Under the cover of the camera, he glanced at Longzhou.

"Do you have something to ask?" Two seconds later, he temporarily turned off the camera and took the initiative to speak.

When Nightmare saw him cooperating like this, it was similar to the characteristics of the NC who came to deliver information in her previous deductions, so she felt more at ease.

"I want to ask you," Nightmare leaned closer, "Our mission is to explore the island, but we don't know what's on the island. We still don't understand what the higher-ups mean. Are we supposed to find the dead spirits or prove that they don't exist?"

"You don't know?" Yu Xing showed a surprised expression.

Nightmare said, "Well, although we are employed by this project team, we don't know anything. We have no idea what's going on, and we're not confident."

Yu Xing scratched his head, "There are ghosts here, specters, spirits, ghosts, call them whatever you want. Didn't my brother-in-law tell you? It's impossible, right? Did he say something you didn't believe?"

"Is it really ghosts?" Nightmare asked.

"It can't be more real," Yu Xing said.

Seeing Nightmare's face showing half disbelief, Yu Xing continued, "Think about it, they're going to establish a research institute here. And those paranormal researchers who stayed on the ship, do you think they're just for show? But I don't think you need to worry too much..."

"Why do you say that?" Nightmare was somewhat surprised.

"In the previous images sent back, there were scenes of those indistinct figures being hit by fighter jets," Yu Xing said, "From those images, it can be seen that the shadows are affected by physical forces, at least they have substance. So your weapons should be effective against them."

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

With this important clue, Nightmare nodded.

She had roughly determined her position in this deduction. The specters in the deduction didn't pose much of a threat to her; what was important was the people.

Because she didn't expect that she would be the target of the ghouls... The name of this thing doesn't sound good at all.

And she chose the magician as her hunting target purely because she had a sacrifice called True Gaze, which had a restraining effect on abilities like illusions and deception.

[This paragraph is nonsense and gives me goosebumps]

[Otherwise, I almost believed it when I saw him enter the game from the preparation space]

[Nightmare mistook Yu Xing for an NC and believed it without a doubt hahaha]

[One dares to ask, one dares to fabricate, one dares to believe??]

[I really don't know if they're saying Yu Xing's acting is too natural or if Nightmare is just unlucky. These two are really funny hahaha]

This show-like conversation continued, Nightmare rubbed her chin, sighed, and said, "I really didn't expect that there are real ghosts in the world. Hey, Fang Xiaoyu, we have guns, so we're not afraid. What about you? Since you have connections, why did you come to the front line?"

Yu Xing naturally said, "It's fun, and if something happens, I have you guys to protect me."

"You're really naive, let me tell you," Nightmare's expression suddenly became serious, "Don't trust others too much. There are quite a few people in this team with ulterior motives. This is a lesson I've learned over many years in the mercenary world."

Yu Xing was confused, "What do you mean?"Nightmare pointed at Yu Xing's camera and laughed, "You know yourself that when it comes to these matters, the camera should be turned off. Even if this project really gets started, it will be kept confidential. Many of the people who are currently on the island are not involved in confidential work, such as logistics and equipment transportation. They only know what they are supposed to do, not what others are doing."

"So, no matter who asks you, just say that our armed team is going to have direct contact with the undead. Those in the rear are very safe, there's no need to tell them." Nightmare put on a stern face, like an adult admonishing a child, "If anyone asks you again in the future, just say you don't know."

"Oh, I see." Yu Xing understood.

[Will Xing be more low-key now?]

[He should listen to "nc", maybe he thinks this is a hint from nc Longzhou hahaha]

[So stupid, I want to go to another live broadcast room]

Nightmare glanced at her wristwatch, ten minutes were almost up. She wasn't in a hurry to dig out all the clues from Fang Xiaoyu. By establishing a good relationship, if someone else asked Fang Xiaoyu the same question in the future, she could take the opportunity to identify other deductionists.

So she stood up contentedly and gave the order - keep moving forward!

What she didn't see was that after she turned around, Yu Xing revealed a strange smile.
