Absurd deduction game

[The game information for this deduction is listed below]

The deduction prompts are constantly refreshed on the panel, in the familiar deep red color, and the font is more viscous than the Alice Paradise, more like semi-coagulated blood.

[Medium-sized deduction: Aliceland]

[Level: Struggle]

[Type: Comprehensive deduction game]

[Confrontation accounts for 40%, role-playing accounts for 40%, and mapping accounts for 20%]

[This deduction game is an eight-player game]

[Analysis: This deduction is the second generation of "Alice Land". The previous Alice Land opened the newly built park to six guilty or innocent tourists. However, due to insufficient planning of the park at the time, it failed to bring tourists The most perfect gaming experience. Alice, the person in charge of the park, learned from her experience and re-planned the game project. This time she is full of confidence that she can definitely make tourists have fun! 】

[In order to allow tourists to show their truest selves, Alice prepared peripheral masks for tourists. She said that human beings are like this. When their identities are concealed, they can do evil without restraint! 】

As prompts appeared one by one, the scenery in front of Yu Xing also changed. He felt that the air around him was getting hotter. The heavy rain quietly evaporated in the heat wave, and white mist rose up, making a crackling sound.

In the mist of white mist, the world in his eyes changed quietly. Fires ignited from the sky, and countless unquenched sparks floated down from the sky with ashes and debris, covering the ruins and broken tiles.

Blood clouds, gray rain.

A burning smell permeated the air, a bit choking.

Yu Xing coughed a few times, his black pupils reflected the sudden apocalyptic scene, and unconsciously murmured: "It's so beautiful..."

It wasn't that the dark part in his heart was aroused, it was simply that the scene was too shocking. Against the backdrop of this miracle that looked like heaven and earth, human beings would feel as small as dust.

Everything caught by the sparks is like the paper money burned for deceased relatives during the Qingming Festival. It burns quietly, curls and withers between light and death, and is burned to ashes.

Fortunately, this terrifying heat and prairie fire sparks were not directly transmitted to him, but seemed to be separated by an invisible wall of air, allowing him to see but not touch.

Of course, this is not true, because from the moment Yu Xing triggered the ruby, reality and absurdity were separated. The current scene belongs to the absurd world, and real time has stopped.

The figures of Han Xinyi and Yu Jiaming disappeared, and the sight was red and gray. It was seventy-nine similar to the scene Yu Xing saw at the last moment when he exited the Alice Land deduction that day, but it had a more dilapidated and desolate beauty.

[Alice has issued the amusement park admission ticket to the persona, please wear the avatar mask on your face to check in]

Yu Xing stretched out his hand, and his persona template condensed into a transparent mask shadow. The surrounding ashes gathered together and fit together piece by piece, solidifying the mask into a gray, slightly exaggerated smiling face mask.

The eyes of the mask are two inverted crescent-shaped holes, which do not block the sight. There are black tear patterns under the eyes, and the lips are red. The appearance alone is as scary as some ghosts.

Yu Xing didn't mind. He thought any style was interesting, so he put it on directly.

Not only his face, but in a daze, he put on a set of black clothes all over his body. The top was a hoodie with the words [Alice Hell Tour Group] printed on the chest. The pants were slightly tight, and underneath were A pair of black sneakers.

It's okay. Although the body shape and hairstyle haven't changed, this outfit makes it easier to move around and helps conceal and hide one's identity.

[Alice’s reminder: You can take off your mask at any time after entering the park, but you may encounter unknown events~ By the way, at certain times, you will also encounter unknown events if you don’t take off your mask~]

Doesn't that mean you have to choose whether or not to take off the mask based on the event... Yu Xing muttered.

The next second, a gust of wind blew by, and the ashes accumulated on the ground rose lightly, blocking the view. After the dust dissolved and disappeared in the air, the ruins had turned into an ancient castle.

The black castle is in Gothic style, with connected walls and a strange and sharp beauty between the concavities and convexities. The whole castle is huge. Although it is not particularly high, you can't tell how many floors it has at a quick glance.

The castle is surrounded by a circle of exquisite medieval iron railings, with blood-drop-like roses and green vines climbing on them. The railings are luxurious and gorgeous, and outside the railings, where Yu Xing is standing now, there is only an endless earth-yellow ground. , a desolate place.

The sky suddenly became dark, without the moon or stars, but a small area above the castle was surrounded by layers of burning red clouds, forming a precious and distorted light, which was also the only light source at present.

The red clouds exude firelight, illuminating the castle and a circle of sky around the clouds. The short-lived white and the eternal black are connected without any buffer, and in the middle of the burning red cloud, there is a star bigger than the castle. The eyeball is embedded in the sky, looking down at the ground with a sense of oppression.

Yu Xing sighed again. This was really the most gorgeous transition he had ever seen so far. It was indeed a differentiation-level deduction. The cards were so big. If he hadn't lost all his belongings, he would have really wanted to take out his phone and take a picture. Photo as wallpaper.

Also... I haven't seen her for a while, and Alice's aesthetics seem to have improved a lot. Although an old castle doesn't look like an amusement park, at least you can no longer see those weird Alice doll heads everywhere, which is gratifying. Congratulations.

At this moment, a strange piece of information poured into his mind. This time, the system no longer gave the acting information in the form of text introduction, but a more intuitive memory transmission.

Yu Xing sorted through the extra information in his mind and got an understanding of his "identity".

He and seven other people were part of a temporary tour group, and without exception, they were all the "lucky ones" who had won the right to travel for free.

The winning description states that they can spend two days and two nights in this castle park for free, with food and accommodation included, and a tour guide sent by the park will receive them at the park gate.

I heard that there will be various activities during the tour, as well as attractive mysterious rewards, for which tourists are looking forward to it.

So, amidst the anxiety and excitement, the eight lucky tourists came to the park in their own way, and the deduction started from here.

Then, Yu Xing regained his mobility. He pressed his mask, pulled up the wide hood of his hoodie, and looked around.

The ashes have completely disappeared, and the sky has returned to calm, with no more sparks falling. This place has completely escaped the framework of reality and is an independent deduction scene.

He was now outside the castle, still some distance away from the iron railings. At the end of his line of sight, at different directions, there were several figures also wearing park tour group hoodies standing separately. The person on his right was a woman about 1.7 meters tall with a ponytail. When Yu Xing looked over, she seemed to have seen him and waved to him unhurriedly, with a very lively personality.

Yu Xing looked at the eight people in this deduction in the reminder record. The person who cut his throat was undoubtedly Han Xinyi. If he guessed correctly, the evil ghost would probably be Han Xinyi's uncle, Han Zhiyong.

Except for these two people, the rest are all unfamiliar names. I don’t know what the proportion of the righteous line, the alienated line, and the fallen line is. In short, in this deduction, he will be a struggling level newbie who has just advanced to the alienated line. With his identity, he went to deal with two senior struggling levels, Han Zhiyong and Han Xinyi.

Yes, both of them are struggling level, but Han Xinyi is probably stronger than Han Zhiyong, and he is the kind of person who may be qualified to be promoted to mourning level at any time - this is Qu Nianqing's judgment.

Qu Xianqing herself is a boss who can be promoted to the despair level at any time, and Yu Xing still trusts her in judging others' abilities.

Of course, Qu Nianqing did not come this time, because the difficulty of the deduction is calculated based on the abilities of the participants using an algorithm that is not disclosed to the public.

Generally speaking, the system will randomly put players with similar strengths into the same game. If they form a team, they will also match teams with similar strengths. However, if there are strong deducers in the team, then the overall difficulty of the game will rise to a higher level, which is equivalent to doubling the mortality rate for weaker players.

Therefore, no one with a little bit of brain would form a team with a companion who is much stronger than themselves. Otherwise, if they don't hold their thighs tightly, they will be trapped to death.

In order to avoid this situation, Yu Xing does not plan to team up with Qu Xianqing too early to play the game. He now needs to hide his inability to die. If the difficulty suddenly increases, he has not recovered any of his strength, and he will not be able to survive in the absurd world. People who accumulate a lot of cards are prone to overturning.

Moreover, to say the least, he cannot die, and at least he has a guarantee. However, if the arrival of Qu Nianqing causes other well-intentioned deducers to encounter unexpected difficulties, resulting in an increase in the death rate, this is something Yu Xing does not want to do. have witnessed.

He had already anticipated today's situation, so a few days ago, Qu Xianqing, who had reached the time limit, had already conducted a deduction, deliberately avoiding the summoning conditions of Alice Hell.

Hmm... He's going to challenge two members of Single Prism. Just think about it...

Very gratifying.

So far, the system has not given any more prompts. This is similar to the previous deduction. The task will only be triggered when a certain condition is reached.

Yu Xing didn't know if the differentiation-level deduction was the same. He raised his legs and walked towards the railing gate of the castle, deciding to take a step at a time.

Others were also converging on each other, seemingly intent on completing their rendezvous before heading to the gate to meet the tour guide.

Yu Xing walked slowly. After he saw the others' plans, he also cooperated and walked to a crowded place. Soon, the deducers gathered about a hundred meters away from the gate of the amusement park.

Judging from their figures, the eight people, including himself, were six men and two women. Apart from the ponytailed woman just now, the one with the petite figure was undoubtedly Han Xinyi.

Han Xinyi stood with a muscular man. Even though the man was wearing a mask and hood, Yu Xing could tell that this was Han Zhiyong.

The others seemed to be unfamiliar with each other and stood scattered. Yu Xing thought and knew that he couldn't disguise his identity in front of Han Xinyi. After all, among the people here, he was the tallest, but there was one person who was similar in height to him. But the man didn't pull up his hood, and his short black hair was exposed in a big way. The ends of his hair were slightly curled. At first glance, he was different from Yu Xing.

Of the remaining three men, two are about 1.75 meters tall and have no distinguishing features for the time being. The other is about 1.8 meters tall and has smooth muscle lines.

At this moment, the 1.7-meter-seven woman said "Huh" and looked at the chest of the only man whose hood was not pulled down.

On the outside of the hoodie, this man with curly hair is wearing a highly recognizable mithril pendant. The pendant has an indescribable weird shape and looks like a gram style. There are several hollows in the pendant. There is also a small green snake carved from emerald coiled around it.

"Wow, you are Huai!" The voice of a 1.7-meter-seven female sounded very lively and she looked young. She was in a very relaxed state, and even ignored the other person's slightly alienated temperament and moved forward, "Live Huai." Hey, I've only seen you in the case video viewing area before. Hey, I like your deduction style very much! Hello, I'm Huangbai, nice to meet you~"

"Huai?"

Hearing this name, everyone else reacted a little. Even Han Xinyi looked away from Yu Xing for a while and tilted her head.

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows secretly. Judging from their reactions, "Huai" seemed to be a very famous deduction, maybe... one of the star deductions?

And this is also the first time he has seen this kind of scene where everyone is wearing a mask and someone's identity is revealed before the deduction has officially started. Moreover, others do not think there is anything wrong, and Huai himself does not not angry.

Just by seeing the other person's behavior of not concealing his characteristics at all, Yu Xing could feel the other person's confidence. Among the deducers who have been promoted to the differentiated level, such an attitude often shows confidence in their strength.

However, Huai just nodded to Huang Bai, showing no enthusiasm or disgust. He looked around, then touched the mithril pendant with his fingers, and said in a calm tone to the 1.8 meter man: "This summons, The people we summoned were really interesting, and they even included gamblers. I never expected that Zeng Lai, a gambler from the institute, would be so close to me in reality."

Huang Bai followed his gaze and put his hands in his pockets, innocently saying, "Ah, the gambler Zeng Lai is here too? Then the difficulty of this deduction will not be any lower."

"What's going on, little brother, how did you recognize me?" Unexpectedly, the gambler spoke with a Northeastern accent and was unexpectedly friendly.

Yu Xing let out a chuckle.

"..."

Some people are exposing each other's identities, and naturally some people feel bitter.

This summons is mandatory, not to mention that Luo Bai's words "the difficulty won't get any lower" bring a touch of sadness to the weaker ones.

At that moment, a man interrupted the chat of several people, with a depressed tone in his tone: "Okay, two big guys, thank you for your outstanding contribution to the difficulty of the game... I am hysterical, and I want to say, we can Can't you go in and open the deduction mission and reminisce about old times?"
