Absurd deduction game

The most important rule of the inn is that you cannot leave the inn when staying at night.

In the second half of the night, the deducers used their own methods to test whether this rule was correct or not.

Some went downstairs and took the door, and some took the window. The moment they were about to leave the inn, they felt a sense of horror from the bottom of their hearts, and their intuition kept reminding them not to do so.

In the end, it was Quinn who tinkered with a straw doll, pushed open the window, and threw the doll out.

The moment the doll landed on the ground, water stains suddenly appeared on its body. The water gradually gathered at the mouth and nose of the doll, completely wrapping the doll. Not long after, the doll was soaked in tatters and lost its identity as a sacrifice. The effect of the product turned into a gloomy wind and returned to Quinn's hands.

"You really can't go out, otherwise this will be the consequence." Quinn's eyes were blank for a moment, probably looking at the prompts on his system panel.

Ren Yi knew the purpose of Quinn's sacrifice. The straw doll was similar to a surrogate doll, but it could also be regarded as an "early warning" tool. It could combine the body tissues of different people - including but not limited to hair, nails, eyes, etc. Put it into the mouth of a straw doll, and you can use the doll to simulate the person's survival probability in the corresponding environment.

For example, the sea monster will not drown in the water, Ren Yi will.

Then stuff the siren's hair into the straw doll's mouth and sink the doll into deep water, and nothing will happen to the doll.

If Ren Yi's hair is stuffed in, the doll will look like it has been drowned after being soaked in water for a period of time.

Regardless of whether the doll is "dead or not", it is counted as a chance to use it, and each copy of this offering can only be used three times. If no remains are left when it dies, the current copy cannot be used again.

The current result of Quinn throwing the doll out should be a scene of what will happen when he walks out of the inn.

All in all, the deducers just rested their minds and no longer thought about running out.

After Song Xue learned that Ren Yi went downstairs and saw the shopkeeper again, she placed a small eye on the counter so that she could see any movement on the counter.

But there was no new shopkeeper at the counter.

And for some reason, he would always feel sleepy for no apparent reason while staying in the inn. Even when Ren Yi asked Song Xue what Song Xue did while they were asleep, he would feel so sleepy that he would yawn in the middle of his words.

I don’t know when, the deducers staying in the same room fell asleep again one after another.

When Ren Yi woke up again, the hourglass in his sight showed that the time had reached 3:55 in the morning, with five minutes left before the night rule would disappear.

Everyone else except Song Xue was also awake, but they didn't seem to have been awake for long. Even their eyes showed the confusion of just waking up, especially Luo Xianfeng.

Quietness had returned to the corridor. Ren Yi touched the copper lock charm on the door and made sure no one came this time. Then he used the key charm to offset the power of the copper lock charm and opened the door.

The door was empty, and those once crazy ghosts had gone to who knows where.

After another five minutes, the sky suddenly became brighter.

All the rules disappeared in the sunlight, and tiny sounds came from the occupied rooms next to them.

The residents yawned and stretched and opened the door. After seeing each other, they all wanted to congratulate each other: "The battle last night was really scary. I felt like my heart was going to jump out when I heard it. Good thing you and I are fine, haha, I’m so lucky.”

"Not bad, not bad. I wonder which unlucky guy occupied the room, huh? Has the outside been cleaned? Why is there no blood?"

"..." At a glance, Ren Yi saw that all the residents seemed to be accustomed to this.

——Get used to ghosts appearing at night, getting used to people dying, getting used to people occupying rooms.

However, these residents seemed to believe that those occupying the rooms were unlucky.

In other words, these residents do not know that the key to their life or death in this inn is actually a talisman affixed by someone.

Those uninhabited rooms were quiet, and the presence of ghosts could no longer be sensed.

Not long after, someone wanted to check out.

Ren Yigang was just about to follow up and take a look when he heard Song Xue in the room rubbing her eyes. She woke up a little later than them and said faintly: "I can actually fall asleep..."

It seems that no matter whether they are people who paid money to stay in the inn or uninvited guests who break into the inn on the way, as long as they are within the scope of the inn, they will be attracted by the sleepiness.

Ren Yi finally glanced at the situation inside the house with his peripheral vision. Knowing that the three members of the Survival Investigation Team would not reveal any more intelligence clues to him, he went out without any hesitation.

When he gets downstairs...

I actually saw the shopkeeper again.

Moreover, the counter that was smashed by the shadow puppet shop owner's explosion was still intact.

The residents in the inn greeted the innkeeper one after another, and the innkeeper responded to them with a smile. The atmosphere was peaceful, complementing the increasingly brighter skylight.

The shopkeeper didn't seem to know what happened last night. When he saw Ren Yi, he took the initiative to ask: "Did you sleep well last night? You only paid one day's rent, and you can't live in today?"

Ren Yi observed the shopkeeper's smiling expression and asked tentatively: "If I say I didn't sleep well last night, will you refund my money?"

He asked this question with an expressionless face, which was quite bluffing. The resident next to him glanced at him and scratched his head: "I have never heard of refunding money if you don't sleep well. Little brother, you are a foreigner. Oh? Oh, don’t embarrass the innkeeper, haha, who doesn’t know that the innkeeper is a brave man, as long as he takes the money, he will never get in or out. "

The shopkeeper also laughed and apologized to Ren Yi: "It seems that something happened to you last night, but everyone knows the dangers in the night. It doesn't matter where you go, so please be patient. "

As he said that, he took out a brand new sachet from the drawer and handed it to Ren Yi: "I guess you won't live here anymore. I'll give you a small item. I can't sleep well at night. You can put the sachet in it." Put the bag next to the pillow, it has a soothing effect."

After receiving the sachet, the system prompted him to get a [sachet with unknown function].

"Thank you." Ren Yi nodded, accepted the sachet, and turned to leave.

The shopkeeper now feels completely different from the shadow puppet shopkeeper last night. Not only does he have a kind personality, but he also doesn't have that annoying sinister aura from last night.

Sure enough, are the day and night shopkeepers two different entities? Good during the day and bad at night?

This memory is coming to an end here. Yu Xing followed Ren Yi's perspective to the outside of the inn, and suddenly turned around again.

That was Ren Yi's unexpected turn back.

I saw that the shopkeeper didn't have time to retract his gaze from staring at his back, and the evil inside was fully exposed.
