Nightmare?

Let me explain. I've always thought she's useless, the weakest among the top five newcomers...

But Yu Xing has always included Nightmare in his plan. He's amazing!

Amazing is two words, I think you've lost your mind.

skrskr?

It's like this, in the morning, Xing told the magician...

...

Time goes back to 8 o'clock in the morning.

Yu Xing came out of Wu Runhao's tent and stepped on a small paper figure.

He followed the small paper figure and came to Carlos's tent, only to find that Carlos's character was a weak doctor. He was alone, lazily inspecting the medical box and yawning.

When he saw Yu Xing coming in, he perked up and smiled, "Good morning, long time no see, san."

Who is san, Xing's English name?

So they knew each other before! No wonder they chose unrelated hunting groups.

The audience in the live broadcast room found out about their acquaintance at this moment.

Yu Xing could tell that Carlos brought him here with the small paper figure on purpose, wanting to team up with him.

As someone who didn't have a direct hunting relationship, Yu Xing had a good impression of this magician, so he agreed to the request to team up.

So he spent ten minutes quickly arranging the plan for the day.

"You use the paper figure to quickly find out which of the five paranormal researchers is the prophet, and I will arrange him to join today's exploration group."

The magician's paper figure was a great tool for investigation and must be used well.

"You judge the timing and when you think it's appropriate, disguise yourself as a ghoul and kill me together with the prophet."

At this point, the magician hesitated slightly because he really wanted to deceive the prophet's words, and there was a high probability that he really needed to take action against Yu Xing.

Then Yu Xing's safety would not be guaranteed.

Then, he remembered the item that Yu Xing had used, the one that could resurrect him.

With that item, Yu Xing wouldn't really die, but the problem was that such a powerful item must have limitations. It might not be able to be used for several deductions after one use.

"Don't worry, I can use that item... for this match. But I don't want to use it in front of so many viewers, so you have to be reliable."

Neither Yu Xing nor Carlos directly mentioned what the item's ability was. After all, there were many people here, and Carlos knew he had to keep it a secret for Yu Xing, so he just raised an eyebrow in question, and Yu Xing received the signal and gave an answer.

"After that, we need to be flexible. After all, I can't completely grasp the minds of the prophet and Nightmare. They can do many things and make many choices."

"Don't use your paper figure ability in front of them for now. I remember you have a dagger, so use that and pretend to be a ghoul with strong close combat abilities."

Carlos, holding the medical box, made a puzzled monosyllabic sound, "Oh?"

Then he became interested, "Have you seen him? Do you know that ghouls have strong close combat abilities?"

"Not before, and I haven't had a direct confrontation with him." Yu Xing shook his head, chuckled, and continued, "But his name easily gives people the impression that he is good at close combat. It's the least likely to go wrong with this disguise."

In other words, no matter what you say about him when he's not here, he can't refute it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, take advantage of the ghoul's absence and mess with him." Carlos gloated.

Yu Xing continued, "When I really can't handle it and need you to do your best to save me, I will cough three times in a row. Otherwise, no matter what happens, as long as I don't cough, it means I still have a backup plan, and you don't need to use the paper figure."

...

Time goes back to the present.

From start to finish, Yu Xing didn't cough three times, so Carlos knew that there was something fishy going on.

But Yu Xing mentioned Nightmare, who had been watching the show on the side all along, which surprised him a bit and he looked at this low-profile muscular man.

Hmm... from the initial barrage, they all knew that Nightmare was a woman. It can only be said that Nightmare's acting was very natural, making them forget about the gender.

Nightmare was called out, looking confusedly at Xing.

"Prophet, you are good at prophecy. Didn't you foresee that Nightmare has the strongest ability among the five deductionists participating in this competition?"

Yu Xing said casually, while Song Quan felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, he was just an intermediate deductionist, and his prophetic ability was so rare that he couldn't fully control it.

Even the abilities he currently had under control were far from being able to know everything he wanted to know. At most, they were just some premonitions or hints that he needed to interpret himself.

Yu Xing didn't expect Song Quan to answer.

The prophet couldn't, but Zhao Mou could.

Zhao Mou has recently become popular and has become a star deductionist, mainly because of his divination ability.

Moreover, Zhao Mou's ability has already matured, as seen from the very specific single prism member position he gave to Yu Xing before.

Before Yu Xing entered the newcomer competition, he had made contact with Zhao Mou and asked him to help check out the situation of other deductionists.

Zhao Mou told him that Nightmare was the first in line in the newcomer competition, in other words, she had the highest score among the newcomers according to the system.

The system's scoring of newcomers was not solely based on their abilities, it included many factors such as the newcomer's historical deduction record score, the comprehensive ability of the offerings, and so on.

Zhao Yijiu, having experienced fewer games by just one or two, could easily be in the top five newcomers of the month with his skills and the offerings he already possessed.

However, this also indirectly proved that Nightmare was very powerful, either in terms of scoring or offerings.

"From the very beginning, she has been lowering her presence. In fact, Nightmare has put herself in the safest position." Yu Xing exerted force, causing the prophet to let go in pain. The little ghosts immediately became agitated and all rushed towards Yu Xing, as if they wanted to tear him apart.

Yu Xing ignored them. His arm was bitten by the little ghosts, and the intense pain accompanied by the cold breath from the little ghosts attacked him.

He didn't even dodge, but just smiled at Nightmare, "We are all within your power now, aren't we? Whether it's a nightmare or something else, it's not real. The injuries suffered in the unreal won't be brought into reality."

In other words, everything they were experiencing now was happening within Nightmare's "nightmare". As for this point in time...

Yu Xing laughed, jumped over the ravine, and came under the tree hanging with corpses. After receiving the false memories given by the Undead Island, everyone had a stage of thinking and adapting.

It was a process from being in a daze to becoming clear-headed.

Yu Xing remembered that he had quickly woken up from the false memories, but suddenly felt the air stagnate, and then flow again.

He believed that at that moment, Nightmare had activated her nightmare-like ability, taking advantage of everyone's unstable minds, and pulled them into a false world!

Nightmare let out a surprised sound, the confusion on her face faded, replaced by admiration, "You actually figured it out, as expected..."

As expected of the one with those eyes in the illusion, the one who makes me feel attracted!

"When did you know?"

"I knew from the beginning."

The reason why he didn't directly expose Nightmare, and even continued to confront the prophet and Carlos, was actually because Yu Xing didn't trust Carlos very much.

Using the "nightmare", all his actions were to confirm whether Carlos was trustworthy.

And Carlos didn't disappoint him, so, this game where everyone was calculating others, should end.

"Nightmare, shall we cooperate?" Yu Xing asked with a smile.
