The water was pitch black, and Yu Xing couldn't see anything.

All he could see were shadows.

The reflections on the water's surface.

Due to the flashlight above their heads, the water reflected the shadows of everyone. However, in a situation where everyone was afraid of something appearing in the water, the most obvious things on the surface would be ignored.

The water ripples broke into waves, and Yu Xing caught a glimpse of A Bai's reflection in the corner of his eye. In the distorted image, A Bai's smile seemed like a dangerous signal.

He immediately grabbed A Bai's shoulder and turned his head to confirm. When the ripples slightly slowed down, a hint of confusion flashed across A Bai's face, but the shadow on the water's surface continued to smile.

In an instant, Yu Xing knew how the first team member who went into the water died.

Longzhou's bullet shot into the water and happened to hit the shadow's forehead. In the distorted rules created by the specter, the injuries sustained by the shadow would be reflected on the real body!

He looked at his own reflection in the water, which showed the appearance of Fang Xiaoyu, with curly hair and a slightly immature face that hadn't fully grown.

A Bai looked at him in confusion.

Suddenly, the shadow of A Bai in the water made a different movement from his real body. It raised its hand and grabbed A Bai's clothes, pulling him down forcefully--

"Wait!" A Bai's body sank, and he instinctively shouted, but the shadow ignored him. The only person who paid attention to him was Yu Xing, who had witnessed the whole process.

Yu Xing grabbed A Bai's arm and exerted force, stopping A Bai from sinking. His face turned serious, and he lowered his voice. "Turn off the flashlight."

As he spoke, he reached up and turned off the flashlight on his head.

A Bai didn't ask anything and simply said, "Okay."

The surroundings suddenly became dark, and Lv Xiaorong, Song Quan, and the other team members were also attacked by their own shadows at this moment.

"It's the shadows, damn it, don't shoot!" Just as Lv Xiaorong shouted, he saw a teammate raising his gun, seemingly wanting to shoot through the "shadow ghost" of another person.

She quickly stopped him because she had also figured out the cause of that team member's death.

However, things were not looking good.

Attacking the shadows would harm the real body, but if they let the shadows be, they would pull the real body into the water, seemingly trying to drown them.

"Captain Long, turn off the lights, don't let the shadows appear!" A Bai's voice came from behind. It turned out that Fang Xiaoyu and A Bai, who had turned off their flashlights, were safely staying in an area where they wouldn't be illuminated by others' lights.

Song Quan, who couldn't handle the situation well, had already drowned in the water. Upon hearing A Bai's words, he immediately followed suit, and sure enough, the pressure eased, and he floated to the water's surface, gasping for breath.

Seeing this, the members of the Armed Team 2 followed suit. The surroundings quickly became pitch black, and they fell into silence, with only the hurried, oxygen-deprived breaths of humans.

They began to feel their way back to the shore in the dark, one by one propping themselves up on the edge of the deep water area and using the buoyancy of the water to easily leave the water. After A Bai got ashore and turned around, he faced a pair of calm and slightly glowing eyes in the darkness.

The slightly narrow and curved eyes were filled with emotions that she couldn't quite understand, very beautiful.

Who was it?

These eyes were very hidden and difficult to distinguish in the darkness, but A Bai was stunned for a moment.

For some reason, these eyes stayed in her heart in an instant.

At this moment, she noticed that when she fell into the water just now to ensure her safety, she activated one of her abilities, Illusion.

Illusion was a broad concept, and sometimes she didn't know what she could see. It might be visible one second and gone the next.

She hadn't turned off this ability yet, so what were those eyes? Some kind of illusion behind the entity?

In the live broadcast room, during that moment just now, the live camera switched to A Bai's perspective, which meant that whatever A Bai could see, the audience could see.

As a result, the audience in A Bai's live broadcast room started flooding the chat.

[I saw it too, there were eyes!]

[Gone, suddenly disappeared. Was that a specter or a person? I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like my heart stopped.]

[I declare, my heart skipped a beat. No one can understand that feeling in that moment, it's captivating!]

[Is A Bai's ability a sacrificial ability? What did she see? Why did it give such a terrifying feeling? Can someone explain?]

Then, Lv Xiaorong and Yan Ming, the members of the Investigator team who were squatting in A Bai's live broadcast room, finally spoke up amidst the clamor.

[Lv Xiaorong's ability directly shocks the mental level. It's like a thorn, and different people will have different feelings when they see it. Unless you don't look, you will definitely be attracted by those eyes and be influenced.]

[Yan Ming's ability as A Bai is quite interesting. Although it's difficult to control, it's a rule-based ability that can become terrifying as it grows. That glance just now broke the rules and saw someone's soul.]

Lv Xiaorong's explanation gave the audience half of the answer, but it also raised new doubts.

Someone's soul?

Who specifically? The ability to see someone's soul is so eerie and shocking that just one glance can be influenced?

[Stop guessing, I went to someone else's live broadcast room and checked. The direction was towards Xing and the magician. I don't know who it was just now.]

The audience's perspective was free, so they had known the identities of the Deductionists for a long time.

Fang Xiaoyu was Yu Xing, and A Bai was the magician.

With the addition of the prophet Song Quan, there were...four Deductionists in this team of thirteen!

After that audience member sent the barrage, everyone watched as Lv Xiaorong and Yan Ming abandoned the male disguise and left A Bai's live broadcast room.They split up, each entering the live broadcast rooms of Yu Xing and Carlos. Lv Xiaorong even greeted his teammate Yan Li who had been staying in Xing's live broadcast room, only to be ignored by the aloof Lord Yan.

……

Yu Xing, pulling the non-swimming A Bai, also got ashore and retrieved the camera. He had felt a gaze again, and unlike the gaze of the paper man, this gaze was too penetrating, causing him to unconsciously frown.

Strange, he felt as if he was being seen through... Although this was impossible, he still subconsciously turned his head to avoid the gaze.

Everyone got ashore, and they groped their way back in the dark for a while before turning the searchlight back on.

Nightmare counted the number of people and silently discovered that three more members were missing. They probably didn't have time to break free from the shadows and drowned.

Her ability was still on, scanning everyone's faces persistently, but there was no longer the coincidence of that moment.

Never mind.

Even if the eyes just now made her heart flutter, it was just an illusion, it was fake, it was fake.

Nightmare turned off her ability, called the whole team back to the fork in the road. As for the dead members... Every member of the armed team had long been prepared for death, volunteering their lives, she had no right to feel sorry for others.

On the way, Nightmare seemed to remember something, and pointedly praised A Bai, "You, as a doctor, think really fast. You even thought of turning off the light so quickly. Normally, it's hard for people to plunge themselves into darkness when they are already in a dangerous environment."

Song Quan nodded in agreement. He was no longer as cold as he was at the beginning, because A Bai had just saved his life.

A Bai modestly said, "It's okay, I was just nervous in the water, but I'm the kind of person who thinks faster when I'm nervous."

And Yu Xing, the one who told A Bai the answer, was very moved by his words. His tone was filled with relief and approval, "You're amazing, A Bai!"
