The ghosts gathered in layers, forming a circle. Yu Xing stood outside the circle, trying to see who was inside through the layers of long robes.

He didn't think it would be Zhao Yijiu. Even if Zhao Yijiu was discovered, he would probably continue to attack. Even if he was injured, he would drag more specters down with him instead of being held captive here.

It was estimated that it was someone from another group. Unable to resist the increasing number of ghosts, Yu Xing couldn't help but do the same thing as Zhao Yijiu, and he was discovered.

When he heard the curses from inside the circle, this idea became even more certain. Squinting his eyes, Yu Xing finally saw the situation in the center of the circle.

It was a "white-shirted ghost," half kneeling on the ground, seemingly with a broken leg. He was being held by a furious masked figure, as if he could die at any moment.

The "white-shirted ghost" cursed, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar. Yu Xing could tell that it was Lu Shan's voice, and Lu Shan was cursing not the specters, but his teammate, Sheng Wan.

"I won't let you off even if I become a ghost. Sheng Wan, you bitch, you pushed me to my death!" Lu Shan struggled and cursed, using very offensive language. Yu Xing raised an eyebrow. From the sound of it, there was internal conflict?

Unfortunately, Lu Shan's behavior did not make the specters spare him. The specters cheered and said to the masked figure, "Eat him, eat him! Give us what you don't finish!"

"Take off the mask and enjoy his expression!"

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, the masked figure lifted Lu Shan's mask and leaned in to take a look.

As the persona mask was removed, the disguise of the white-shirted ghost slowly dissipated, revealing a somewhat pitiful image of a waiter.

Lu Shan's leg was indeed broken, and he was now dragging himself on the ground in a twisted posture. His entire weight seemed to be hanging from the hand of the person in black, like a puppet on a string.

On Lu Shan's face, which had few memorable features, there was a look of resentment and hatred. His eyes searched among the specters, saying, "Sheng Wan, you won't live either!"

"I don't like your expression. You should be afraid!" the masked figure shouted, and the hand on Lu Shan's head immediately turned into a sharp weapon, piercing through his scalp. Lu Shan felt as if his skull had shattered, and the warm red blood poured down his face like a waterfall, causing him to scream in agony.

But the masked figure intentionally left him with a breath.

In the midst of intense pain, Lu Shan truly wished that he was already dead at this moment, rather than being humiliated and tortured here.

"Did you finish it?"

A cold voice accompanied by unmistakable footsteps came from behind Yu Xing. Zhao Yijiu glanced at the red robe in front of him, then looked at Lu Shan.

Yu Xing shifted his gaze away from Lu Shan's face and turned his head. "It's done."

He was responsible for understanding the significance of the vending machine, while Zhao Yijiu was responsible for taking advantage of the opportunity to earn points and underworld currency. So far, both of them had completed their tasks.

"What's going on here?" Zhao Yijiu gestured with his chin towards Lu Shan, who was being held by the specters.

Zhao Yijiu looked at Lu Shan, who was undoubtedly doomed, and frowned. "Let's talk somewhere else."

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

Both of them were on the outer edge of the group of specters. Instead of squeezing in, they sneaked into an empty booth in the corner and sat down in the shadows.

"Lu Shan and Sheng Wan were always together. When I was fighting with a masked figure just now, they took the opportunity to kill a few specters. However, their abilities were insufficient, and they were discovered by a white-shirted ghost."

After sitting down, without waiting for Yu Xing to ask further, Zhao Yijiu leaned back on the booth's sofa and explained what he knew.

The white-shirted ghost discovered the living waiter and immediately shouted, attracting many specters around. Lu Shan and Sheng Wan hid in the restroom of the River of Forgetfulness Hall, and the specters followed the white-shirted ghost's guidance to search for them.

Zhao Yijiu also followed them in. He only saw that when the specters opened the door of a certain compartment, there was an incredible roar of anger. Then, the white-shirted ghost who led the way suddenly turned into white mist and disappeared, and Lu Shan fell out of the compartment.

Seeing this, the specters thought they had succeeded. When they faced the ghosts, they took Lu Shan away, believing that he was the one who had secretly killed many specters.

Zhao Yijiu took a glance into the compartment, but Sheng Wan was not there. From a professional perspective, it was obvious that Lu Shan was not the one who made the attack that killed the white-shirted ghost.

"So, Sheng Wan found a way to hide, killed the white-shirted ghost, and kicked Lu Shan out?" Yu Xing squinted his eyes and said after a while, "When the white-shirted ghost died, the other ghosts couldn't confirm their identities anymore. Selling Lu Shan allowed Sheng Wan to have the best opportunity to escape, as the vigilance of the specters would decrease after achieving their goal. Thinking about it this way, Sheng Wan is quite strong..."

Zhao Yijiu moved his finger and lowered his head, muttering, "It's understandable to treat enemies like this, but treating your own teammate like this is unforgivable."

Yu Xing was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Exactly, unforgivable.""I'm serious, can you accept someone who secretly plots against their teammates?" Zhao Yijiu couldn't quite describe his feelings, but he felt somewhat angry.

Yu Xing crossed his legs, seemingly oblivious to Zhao Yijiu's mood, and spoke in his usual tone, "Of course not. If anyone dares to plot against me, I'll make them regret being alive. But..."

"Brother Jiu, we're teammates now. How can you be so sure that I won't treat you the way Sheng Wan treated Lu Shan?" His eyes behind the mask curved into a smile, "After all... I'm not exactly a good person either~"

Zhao Yijiu suddenly looked up, his gaze coldly fixed on Yu Xing.

Yu Xing returned the gaze with a playful smile, curious about Zhao Yijiu's thoughts.

He wanted to take this opportunity to teach Zhao Yijiu not to trust temporary teammates whose backgrounds were unknown in future deductions.

Although Zhao Yijiu was aloof, Yu Xing could always detect a hint of kindness towards others in his words and actions. For instance, when they first met, Zhao Yijiu had taken good care of the "timid Yu Xing".

Of course, kindness was a good thing. In the souls of the deductionists, kindness was precisely what kept their personalities stable.

If one didn't know how to control it, they would definitely suffer.

The outcome at the abandoned factory was clear. The real Yu Xing and the personality he displayed were polar opposites. It had to be said that Zhao Yijiu's goodwill was misplaced. If Yu Xing hadn't saved him then, he would have died because he gave his battery to Yu Xing.

Since he had promised Zhao Mou to guide Zhao Yijiu, he had to teach him everything he should know.

However, a few seconds later, Zhao Yijiu's gaze softened from its previous cold and gloomy state.

"You won't, I just know it."
