absurd deduction game.

The screen that had been pinned to the top of the simulation system's live stream section for quite some time was finally turned off.

In the beginning, the live-streamed simulation of the "Human" instance, which had a short name of only one word, attracted a large number of viewers due to its "extreme" difficulty and strong recommendation from the system.

Once the strategists clicked in, they found the live stream lineup to be quite impressive. They figured there must be some hidden benefits in the dungeon, and with the intention of either uncovering secrets or just watching the excitement, they stayed in the live stream room.

At first, they were happily sending bullet comments and taking photos with various celebrities and deducers.

However, as the dungeon progressed, too many scenes were blocked due to the influence of higher-level grids, especially during the boss battle. Since the final boss was a false god, the audience could only stare at a black screen and chat amongst themselves.

No one could see what was happening inside the dungeon from the black screen. Many people found it boring and left, while others were skeptical and decided to try again.

As a result, the screen went black and remained black until the end of the live stream.

The rest of the people: "..." Well, they're just unlucky.

The live stream went quiet for a while, but the discussion about the "Human" instance heated up again after the live stream ended. People started posting on the forum to analyze and deduce the type of the monsters, digging deep into the source of their abilities based on the glimpse they had seen during the live stream.

Lower-level strategists just watch the show, but among higher-level strategists, the existence of Yin-Yang City is no longer a secret, and information about the mysterious god within it is of paramount importance. Every intellectual member trained by various forces is working overtime.

In this situation, those who survived the dungeon became the main source of information, and everyone was waiting for them to finish the process so they could use their connections to gather information.

……

After Yu Xing chose to leave the instance, the system's female voice sounded in his ear.

Unlike the cold and indifferent system during the dungeon run, the system, which had already revealed its emotions to Yu Xing, became quite human-like when communicating with him alone.

It first praised Yu Xing in a subtly joyful tone, expressing its appreciation for the fact that he and his teammates were able to directly bring down Jiang Chong, before it began to report the data.

Congratulations on completing the live simulation - Human!

The following is an evaluation of this simulation.

[Case truth restoration accuracy: 100% (based solely on personal exploration of the main plot)]

[Increase in personality alienation level: Unable to calculate]

[Rating: S]

[Deduction points earned: 5000]

The following is the total points awarded as a reward: 24674

The reward points will be split 50/50 with the system, resulting in a total of 12337 points.

Unlike previous dungeon settlements, this settlement also includes a separate section for information related to titles.

You have obtained the title "Destroyer of Faith"

[Complete the hidden quest "Soul Stealing" to obtain the title "Unraveling the Cocoon": Actively use this skill to grant yourself the buff "Unraveling" (when you have this buff, system arrow prompts will appear when you encounter clues related to the hidden quest, helping you collect them). You can bind this buff to any hidden quest.]

[Complete the side quest "The Soul of the Locust Blossom" to obtain the title "Locust Blossom and Magnolia": When used actively, it summons two vengeful ghost messengers, Li Huaihua and Xiao Yulan. These messengers are 100% immune to ghostly interception and will deliver the letter to the target within one hour.]

A hidden quest and an extended side quest both offered title-type rewards. The former's buff was revealed before completion, but the latter's title-based reward surprised Yu Xing.

Looking at the three titles that had neatly appeared on his Persona, he raised an eyebrow: "You really don't hide the fact that you're preparing for Yin Yang City."

He remembered that when the system gave him the Cursed Tongue, it said that once he arrived in Yin Yang City, everything except core offerings, rule offerings, and title buffs would become invalid, including ordinary offerings and items.

Therefore, the system has already invested heavily in the predictors who have secured tickets, seemingly afraid that they will become easy prey once inside Yin-Yang City, easily devoured by the city's natives. System: [Of course, as the system, I will unreservedly enhance your strength; otherwise, you will have no chance of winning in Yin-Yang City.]

Regardless of what the system intends to achieve with the predictors, improving one's strength is always a good thing.

Yu Xing shrugged, offering no comment. In any case, the abilities granted by these three titles were all very useful and didn't take up any offering slots.

As for the simulation itself and the points earned from the live stream, he no longer cared.

He cared about something else: "Now everyone among the advanced deducers knows about Yin-Yang City and the tickets. Can you give me some inside information about when this instance will actually open?"

The system was silent for a moment.

The woman's voice itself betrayed hesitation, before she gave an ambiguous but seemingly very sincere answer:

[It's uncertain at the moment; we need to wait for a specific opportunity.]

It paused, then added:

[Not only me, but also those who distributed "tickets" to participants through my channel are all waiting, waiting for the right opportunity to arise so we can seize it.]

[However, one thing is certain: Yin-Yang City cannot open within the next three months. You still have plenty of time to prepare. That's all I can reveal for now.]

“Oh…you strange gods who have such a bad relationship with each other that you stab each other in the back, you’re quite united on this point, aren’t you?” Yu Xingsu noticed, but when he pressed for more information, the system was unwilling to answer any further.

That’s okay.

Before returning to reality, Yu Xing opened her Persona panel and took a look.

[Personality mask unknown]

[Holder: Yu Xing]

[Basic Information: Cannot be defined as a purebred human, height 190cm, age *#?*# (Error occurred)]

[Identity: A True-Level Deducer of the Alienation Line]

[Mask percentage: 39% conscious, 49% unknown]

[Personality alienation level: 99% (An unknown error occurred, and the alienation level reached its peak)]

[Personality Sacrifice: ■■■■, Cursed Tongue, Azure Dream, Puppet Life (4/8 equipped)]

[Personality titles: "Anchor Point That Cannot Be Looked At Directly", "Destroyer of Faith", "Unraveling the Threads", "Locust Blossom and Magnolia"]

[Holder's description: I don't want to describe]

As he interacted with the system more and more, the system displayed fewer and fewer messages on the data panel, seemingly getting tired of formalities.

Yu Xing's gaze fell on the proportion of the mask and the degree of personality alienation.

The latter reaching 99% was within his expectations. After all, the deduction in Fengtou Town was quite exhausting. He had also cursed the false god and stolen the false god's memories... The backlash from these actions had not yet fully manifested. Yu Xing guessed that he would probably experience random cognitive blurring side effects in the next few days, but he was unsure when it would occur.

The gradual simplification and reduction of the proportion of masks caused him to frown almost imperceptibly.

The combined percentage of clarity and uncertainty is 88%... 3% less than last time. This doesn't feel good, especially since he can roughly guess why his percentage is missing.

With a sigh, Yu Xing gave the system a perfunctory farewell and returned to reality. (End of Chapter)
