"Wu Ming, prepare for battle!"
Qin Bai drew his longsword and looked at the people in front of him: "There is one more person among us. Next, each of you will state your number. This is the only number that cannot be faked."
At this moment, Xia Lulu suddenly said, "What if that person calls out the number of someone who has left?"
Qin Bai smiled and said, "It's very simple. Everyone writes down a number and then hands it to me and Wu Ming. This way, it's easy for duplicate numbers to appear."
"Of course, maybe that person was lucky and selected the numbers of those who left, but I have other methods."
Soon, everyone received a piece of paper and a pen and began to write down their number.
After all the slips of paper were handed to Qin Bai and Wu Ming, the two went to the corridor to compare them.
However, after checking, no duplicate numbers were found, meaning that the method failed.
"Next, each of you should check the people around you to see if you see any unfamiliar faces."
This method is very practical. After all, these people have been staying together for several days, and they need to show their faces whenever they eat, so it's easy for them to see each other.
In any case, those who have seen it before will definitely find it familiar, while those who haven't will find it unfamiliar.
After looking at each other for a while, the group of people all shook their heads.
They didn't see any unfamiliar faces, which surprised Qin Bai. What was going on?
"Brother Qin, what do we do now?"
Wu Ming leaned closer and asked.
Qin Bai pondered, realizing that if they didn't find this person, they wouldn't have a peaceful night.
After all, nobody knows who this person is or what their purpose is.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Bai suddenly thought of something.
Since Cao Fengjiao appeared in the arena, could it be that other people from the community have also joined the opposing faction, but did not appear this time?
The situation was quite chaotic at the time, and there were many people, so Qin Bai couldn't have noticed that someone had quietly joined the group.
And this person is definitely from the neighborhood!
Otherwise, they would definitely feel unfamiliar with other people.
Thinking about this, Qin Bai realized something: the extra person was originally from their community, but the other party had left the community first to go to the shelter.
Although I had a general idea of what was going on, finding this person was extremely difficult.
Qin Bai couldn't remember everyone's face, and with 40 people leaving, it was even less likely he would know who the extra person was.
If we can't find a normal method, what about an unconventional one?
The first thing Qin Bai thought of was the superpower he had just acquired, which was a mental superpower.
He used the energy orb directly and instantly understood the nature of this psychic ability.
This ability is not specifically used to attack other people's brains, but rather to enhance one's own mental strength.
If we define an adult's mental strength as 1 point, then having this mental ability will instantly boost that strength to 5 points!
In other words, this thing has an astonishing effect on enhancing one's mental strength.
With strong mental power, one can do many things, the first of which is to attack other people's minds.
A strong mental force can put immense pressure on the opponent's brain, causing mild symptoms such as headaches and inability to move freely, or even immediate unconsciousness and brain death.
However, this time, Qin Bai didn't want to kill anyone.
He wanted to use the spiritual power within to accomplish something.
Hypnosis!
When normal methods fail to get someone to tell the truth, this unconventional method derived from supernatural abilities comes in handy.
Qin Bai walked into one of the classrooms and looked at everyone.
"Whoever is the extra person, step forward."
Many people exchanged bewildered glances. Wasn't that a bit too blunt? Who would be so foolish as to actually do that…?
Just as they were thinking this, everyone's mind went blank for a moment, and then someone actually stood up.
Upon closer inspection, Qin Bai realized that the person looked somewhat familiar.
At this moment, Wu Ming pointed at the other person and said, "Aren't you Lin Zhao's underling? I remember your name is something... what was it again?"
Lin Zhao's younger brother?
Qin Bai also remembered that he had indeed seen this person before, but he didn't have a deep impression of him.
After Lin Zhao was killed by him, all of Lin Zhao's underlings should have been subdued. How could one person have been left out?
How did you manage to sneak in here?
Qin Bai asked calmly.
Lin Zhao's younger brother looked bewildered and said, "I saw you suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear. Some of you were trying to leave, so I took the opportunity to sneak in."
Sure enough, he entered during that chaotic time. After all, everyone was shocked by what was happening in the arena, and no one would have noticed someone sneaking in.
Do you have other motives?
"have."
Qin Bai was taken aback, not expecting that this person really had other purposes, and he immediately became curious.
"What is the purpose?"
“I want to follow you. After leaving the neighborhood that day, I had a terrible time outside. I wanted to join those people’s faction, but no one wanted me.”
"I originally intended to go directly to the shelter, but when I left the city, I found that the outside world had completely changed."
Qin Bai raised an eyebrow: "The outside of the city has changed? What do you mean?"
“There was no snow outside the city, just like usual, but there were some strange dark shadows wandering around. I only got a little closer, and they suddenly rushed at me. I saw it clearly, those shadows were…”
"A charred corpse! A corpse whose entire body has turned to charcoal!"
Everyone, including Qin Bai, was stunned.
It's bad enough that an ice corpse appeared, but now a charred corpse has also appeared?
What's going on?
Why is there no snow outside? Isn't it supposed to snow all over the world?
One question after another made Qin Bai frown.
Seeing Qin Bai's question-and-answer style, many people realized that Qin Bai had hypnotized that person.
"Then how did you manage to come back alive?"
Qin Bai continued to ask.
"At first I thought I was going to die too, but those charred corpses didn't seem to be able to get into the snow. They just made some noises at the edge of the snow and then left."
Qin Bai obtained a lot of information from him.
Most importantly, there was no snow outside the city, and there was the existence of charred corpses.
Qin Bai immediately severed his psychic powers, and Lin Zhao's underling instantly regained consciousness.
When he found himself standing in the middle of the room, with a group of people looking at him, he realized he had been exposed.
"Boss, please don't kill me, I'll do anything."
