Absurd deduction game

The gift boxes used by the wealthy merchants to build relationships were held by the paper maids, and they were opened one by one as the gift list was chanted.

Zhao Yijiu sat with a group of black-hearted wealthy merchants, listening to their sarcastic compliments to each other, and looked at the other table expressionlessly.

Although he and Zhao Mou played the role of a couple, in this deduction background, couples could not sit together at a formal banquet. Zhao Mou sat with the wives of other wealthy merchants at this time, whispering about whose gift was the most valuable and the most auspicious.

"..." Zhao Yijiu pinched his nose irritably, and the wealthy businessman wearing scarlet sleeves beside him suddenly said with concern, "Are you okay?"

Everyone knew that Mrs. Xue's husband was just a face-saving man. There were rumors that Mrs. Xue and her husband were very affectionate. If you curry favor with Mrs. Xue's husband, you would be currying favor with Mrs. Xue.

Zhao Yijiu put down his hand and said calmly: "Nothing, thank you for your concern."

The youngest young master of the Li family besides him at the same table, who is also the current head of the Li family, cast a glance at him. It is hard to tell whether he is good or bad. He just reminded him expressionlessly: "I see that you are often silent today. If you are really uncomfortable, why not let your wife ask for some medicine for you? Your wife has a say in Feng Mansion."

Zhao Yijiu glanced at him and didn't reply at all.

If he had to spend some time with these people, he would certainly not be so disrespectful to the young master of the Li family, who is the most liked by Master Wanban outside the Zhao family.

But it's about to end.

Zhao Yijiu thought, why is it not raining yet.

He looked around calmly and found that all the deducers who replaced the guests were at the table. Only Yu Xing, who fabricated the identity of a woman from Southern Xinjiang, was still missing.

This is also part of their plan.

It just so happens that no matter how careful Master Wanban is, he will definitely be present at the banquet, so the place where the other party hides to sew the ghost can be investigated.

Zhao Yijiu was the one who was relatively isolated from the news at this banquet. Zhao Mou, Song Xue, and Yu Xing had all found opportunities to leave the public eye and had the ability to exchange information in real time, but he had no reason to go out. He could only rely on Zhao Mou to occasionally come to talk to him and reveal some information. He didn't know how far the plan had progressed.

He only knew that if the time was right, the black clouds condensed by the Yin Qi and the water vapor where Jiang Su appeared would definitely form heavy rain.

Tick-tock.

A drop of rain fell into the teacup in front of Zhao Yijiu, causing a series of tiny ripples.

His eyebrows relaxed slightly.

…

Yu Xing walked through the many formations and set foot on the desolate courtyard hidden in the Feng Mansion for the second time.

Not long ago, he tried to explore the residence of Master Wanban and was caught on the spot by Erhong. Now that Erhong was gone, Master Wanban also went to the front of the banquet.

The silent courtyard looked empty, and the eerie wind leaked through Yu Xing's fingertips. He walked lightly towards the house in the courtyard and released his perception.

The dead tree in the yard swayed gently, and the dead roots grew slowly and spread in all directions.

The yin energy here was extremely heavy, and it was not pure. The resentment was stacked up, violently imprisoning one miserable soul after another, and the most central point was inside the house.

No one disturbed him this time, and Yu Xing's perception was still interrupted in front of the door.

He came to the door and tried to push it.

Sure enough, there was a ban on the door. Although Yu Xing was strong, the seemingly thin wooden door did not move at all. Only the coldness when touched penetrated into the bone marrow.

He tilted his head to check, and a faint blue appeared in his eyes. Finally, he found a circle of imperceptible blood marks around the house.

The thick blood color was originally hidden in the soil. Under the exploration of the spiritual eye, it slowly floated to the surface. An evil thought emerged from the blood mark, quietly absorbing the vitality of those who approached.

At the same time, it also divided the space inside and outside the blood mark into two. Except for the person who put the mark, no one could enter and exit freely.

"This master knows a lot of things." Yu Xing muttered, preparing to force his way in.

He knew that the method to unlock the seal was mostly hidden in a room in the sealed mansion. After all, deduction would not leave a dead end, and there would always be a way to pass the level for deducers who took the intellectual route and ignored combat power.

In other words, except for a few people who could crush them with combat power, other deducers still needed to follow the clues one by one in the dungeon and move forward step by step.

But Yu Xing is now one of the minority.

Black tree patterns appeared on his hand, and the power of the curse showed its aggressiveness, spreading to the blood seal little by little.

Suddenly, feeling the blood light of the invading blood seal, a sense of fear that came naturally drilled into Yu Xing's mind along with the blood color. He had goose bumps all over his body, and his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously. When he turned around, he saw several illusory ghosts behind him.

It was the evil god's power that affected the rules of this deduction again!

Yu Xing was ready to contact the evil god's power that controlled "fear", but he still felt his scalp numb when he contacted it again.

Shadows whose faces could not be seen clearly stood there in a row.

They were tall, short, fat, thin, and vaguely dressed in different clothes. One of the women raised her arm, as if waving to Yu Xing.

After several deductions, such a scene was not even scary.

But Yu Xing still held his breath and instinctively wanted to stay away from them.

"A Xing... what are you doing here?"

The face of the waving woman gradually became clear, and a few burn marks appeared on her young and beautiful face. She pulled the burnt skin and showed a smile that Yu Xing had almost forgotten: "Why are you still wearing a little skirt?"

"It's really strange... When you were little, I coaxed you to wear it, but you didn't want to wear it..."

"Sister." Yu Xing's eyes sank slightly, and he called out the woman's identity in a somewhat unfamiliar way.

Around the woman, other figures also became clear like old photos that had been dusted off.

His former father, housekeeper, nanny, even familiar jugglers, classmates and teachers when he studied abroad, and a few people who left memories in his heart over a long period of time...

Some of them remained in their youthful appearance, and some were fixed in the appearance of the portraits that Yu Xing saw. There were more and more figures, and they became clearer and clearer. They were wearing clothes in different styles of the times, and everyone had a friendly smile on their faces and reached out to him.

"Yu Xing..."

"A Xing..."

"Young Master..."

"Friend..."

"We miss you so much, when will you join us?"

Yu Xing didn't answer, and they kept looking at him.

The whole picture was very strange, and waves of coolness climbed up Yu Xing's spine, and his eyes occasionally swept downwards.

Everyone's toes were facing behind them.

The suppressed terror broke out instantly, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from Yu Xing's forehead.

But his expression did not change at all, and he was not moved by the appearance of these "people".

It was all in the past.

They were all people in the past.

They were nightmares, but they failed to drag him into hell. Now that he was awake, it was even more impossible for them to stop him from moving forward.

Yu Xing did not move, as if he was in a stalemate with these figures, but his curse power was madly devouring the blood seal, and the illusion caused by the blood seal restriction became precarious.

Realizing this, the expressions of the ghosts changed.

Their smiles slowly disappeared, replaced by pairs of resentful eyes.
