Absurd deduction game

After Yu Xing explained the problem about the coffin, he confidently accepted Xu Shu's two thousand points.

Although the reward points will be halved in the final settlement, even a thousand points is still a very enviable number.

This is more than when he first cleared a game.

Soon, the long table time came to an end, and the barrage made a reluctant sound. In fact, in the next stage, they can still watch and speak throughout the whole process, but they will not get feedback from the participants.

[The long table time has ended, please go to the conference room door and open the doors one by one to enter the second stage of the deduction]

After the twenty-minute break, Yu Xing and the other three filled their stomachs with various snacks provided by the system in the conference room. They earned a lot of free points. After bidding farewell to the barrage, they followed the prompts and walked to the conference room with satisfaction. Door.

The door to the conference room was a very ordinary metal door, which was not very hard to the touch. As soon as Yu Xing walked to the door, he heard the system starting to make arrangements.

[Please ask the divination master to open the door]

Zhao Ruru cleared his throat, looked calm and relaxed, and stretched out his slender hand to hold the door handle.

From Yu Xing's perspective, she opened the door easily. There was a white scene outside the door, and nothing could be seen clearly.

When Zhao Ruru stepped into the fog, the metal door seemed to be conscious, closing itself back and closing it gently.

【Please open the door】

The second one was Yu Xing. Yu Xing turned around and smiled at Zhao Yijiao who was waiting behind him: "Since we are entering one by one, I'm afraid we will be separated first. No matter what the situation is, we will try to reunite as much as possible."

Zhao Yijiu nodded slightly: "I know."

"Then I'll leave first." Yu Xing turned around with confidence and pushed the ajar door open.

A gust of warm wind suddenly hit my face.

This time, unlike when he was watching Zhao Ruru, there was no white fog. Noisy sounds flooded into his eardrums, and his eyes were clear, as if he had stepped into the Truman world from a closed virtual space.

People wearing simple clothes sit in small squares. Desks, computers, and various piles of documents are brought into view one by one. The sound of keyboards is constantly ringing. The incandescent lights on the ceiling are bright and dazzling, casting reflections on the smooth tiles.

This is a large office with good lighting and easy to identify.

In front of the water dispenser by the wall, a woman wearing a hip-hugging skirt was bending over to receive water, and scolding voices came from the independent office in the distance...

Yu Xing was stunned for a moment, because this modern scene was so contrasting with the previous one. The things he saw were too normal, like a real world without absurdity.

He even wondered if there was a bug that caused him to jump to another live broadcast.

The next moment, a push suddenly came from behind him. He staggered to steady his body and became one with everything he saw.

My body has lost the feel of my down jacket, but the warm air from the air conditioner is blowing constantly, so I'm not cold at all.

Yu Xing lowered his head and found that he was wearing a well-styled white shirt, dark blue jeans and black sneakers.

A pair of in-ear wired headphones hung around his neck. The two headphone heads were not plugged into his ears, but hung loosely on his shoulders. The end of the cord stretched into the left back pocket of his jeans, and a part of his phone was exposed. Connect to headphones.

He turned around, and as expected, behind him was a white wall with a safety notice posted on it. He was like an office worker who came to pay attention to safety on a whim and was about to leave after reading the notice.

And his sense of presence is not low. People walking around will glance at him, wondering whether they are wondering why he is standing next to the wall.

He took the opportunity to look at these people. They were basically in their twenties to forties, most of them were men, and most of them wore glasses. What was heartbreaking was that... they generally showed signs of baldness.

hiss……

At this moment, Yu Xing felt that this place was more real.

"Is it such a big span..." He muttered secretly in his heart, his eyes sparkling with excitement caused by surprise.

He thought that after experiencing the "funeral", the "marriage" would be the next step. After all, that was the prompt, so there was no reason for anything to go wrong.

But it turned out that the second stage of the deduction was indeed carried out in a "modern" background. Yu Xing felt very happy when he thought that the plot did not proceed step by step.

That's what makes it interesting.

He didn't want to look too strange, and after taking a few steps towards the water fountain against the backdrop of the surrounding environment——

In my mind, prompts from the deduction system came at the right time.

[This stage of the deduction is in role-playing mode]

[You will play the role of an original artist, and your specific identity has been transferred to the persona]

[Main mission: Protect Zhou Xue from surviving for three days]

[The flow rate of time has changed in this stage, and the flow rate between the absurd world and the real world has changed from 1:1 to 12:1]

[There is a way to complete the main mission in advance]

[There are side tasks at this stage, please explore by yourself]

[There are small gifts left by special guests at this stage]

[Role-playing at this stage is compulsory. If the NPC detects abnormalities, the "World Will" will take measures to obliterate them, and the system will not protect them]

[A black box setting is added at this stage. Each player has the right to have another "black box time". After it is turned on, the player's conversations with people within a radius of two meters will be silenced by the system and cannot be captured by the live broadcast room. Lasts three minutes. 】

A series of reminders made Yu Xing feel concerned, but there was no look of surprise on his face, and he didn't even pause in his steps.

As everyone knows, after this prompt was published on the screen of the live broadcast room, the audience who followed him had already exploded.

[What happens when the time and flow rate are temporarily changed? ]

[This is the first time this happened. Is there any emergency?]

[Everyone, something may have happened, I’m so excited]

[It’s over, I don’t dare to go out to watch other live broadcast rooms. How much of the plot will I miss when I go out]

[Perhaps it is just a normal adjustment... After all, the three days of one-on-one will make some people who only have one day to watch the live broadcast miss the second half of the live broadcast]

[But this has never happened before, it was all stipulated before the live broadcast started]

[No matter, it has no impact on us anyway, please pay attention to the black box time]

[Yes, there are only a handful of black box times in the show Death Parallel, right? ]

[Black Box Time], also known as [Absolute Confidentiality Time], is a concept common to all major live broadcast programs.

Once the program opens up the privilege of black box time, the deducers participating in the program will have a period of time where they can get rid of the audience's blind spots and discuss many things that are inconvenient to know.

[It’s just a black box, and it’s not like it’s never been opened before. You guys are like Kangkang! Special Guest! ]

[What is this! ? ]

[Mama, I don’t understand this second phase of the mission]

[Who will be the special guests? No news has been released at all before]

[Those who are eligible to be invited as special guests must be at the level of despair or above. It’s so interesting]

[I always feel like...something happened privately]

[The change in time flow rate, if it was not decided long ago, can only mean that the content of the entire second phase of the mission has changed]

[Will the content adjustment be related to special guests? ]

[Despair-level boss, hmm... I don’t know if he is benevolent or malicious? ]

[Actually, it doesn’t matter how we guess. Lucky will be the ones who suffer, because they need to face unknown factors that don’t exist in the first place]

This barrage hits the point.

Not only Yu Xing's group, but other groups also need to face additional unknowns when they enter the second stage.

Yu Xing had already thought of all the key points of the audience's discussion. He raised his eyebrows, wondering if it was due to some kind of potential persecution paranoia. As soon as he saw the words "special guest" and the open black box time, he There is a premonition.

The special guest who left a gift might be someone he knew.

The black box is nothing more than a convenience for the other party to say something to him that others cannot hear.

...will he be an actor?

Or is it one of the actor's subordinates?

If useful information can be conveyed to him in black box time, then the visitor must know part of his situation and be a person with a deep relationship with the actor.

Are you here to warn him, or are you simply planning to get rid of him before he grows out of control?

Although he will not die, if the other party kills him in a way that makes it look like there is absolutely no chance of his survival, then in the eyes of so many live broadcast room viewers, he will be a dead person and cannot appear again.

Once he reappears, he will be studied by all forces, and his ability to be infinitely resurrected is enough to completely expose the ferocious side of the originally friendly forces.

This is simply the best way to limit his growth rate.

Yu Xing's premonitions are usually right, especially when it comes to actors.

Thinking of these possibilities that were very detrimental to him, he lowered his head slightly, and his black bangs blocked the look between his brows.

However, the corners of his mouth slowly and uncontrollably curved.

Is it finally here...?

Really...

That's great.

He never thought that in a duel with an actor, he would be the loser.

Come on, the timing is unexpected, but come on.

After so long, he was finally able to catch the actor's little tail. This was definitely something that made him happier than the deduction.

Suppressing the curvature of his mouth, Yu Xing continued his deduction in a happy mood.

The identity information was already in the persona. He immersed his consciousness and gained an understanding of the background of this stage.

First of all, the setting here is indeed "modern", but it is obviously on two different development lines from the real world. Games in this world do not exist in the real world.

The reason why I use games as an example is because the character played by Yu Xing is a member of the art team of this game company called "Fengdu".

His name here is "Fang Xing", which is a bit of a coincidence. In the last rookie competition, his name was Fang Xiaoyu, and his surname was also Fang.

He is responsible for the original painting production of a horror game called "Nightmare", and the art team of the entire project is under his control. In other words, he is the main artist of this game.

Fang Xing needed to draw portraits and posters of several protagonists and several main ghosts in the nightmare. As for the less important ones, as usual, they had been outsourced to other companies.

And Zhou Xue is the game worldview architect of this game project and also serves as the main plot.

There is only so much general background. In the identity information, more words are put on the limitations of Fang Xing's character.

He is twenty-five years old, graduated from a prestigious school, and has the best professional skills in the industry. However, he has a surly personality and is difficult to get along with. He has a hot temper and dares to mess with anyone. Relying on his genius-like and superior abilities, he does not even listen to the words of the department manager.

Fang Xing is very serious about his work, but once he is free, he always seems to be immersed in his own world, and no one else can understand what he is thinking.

What he is best at and loves most is drawing horror-related pictures. Therefore, since joining the company, the projects he has been responsible for are basically horror games.

Yu Xing blinked, feeling that the arrangement of this role was both coincidental and harsh.

The system has already said that this time the role-playing is mandatory and must fit the character completely and cannot be seen by the NPC.

Fang Xing's character is very unique, and it is not something that a deducer can just come in and mix around casually. His ability and status mean that in this company, he is not someone who can be hidden.

Not to mention the rigid requirement of a high level of original painting.

But regarding the skill of painting, Fang Xing unexpectedly matched Yu Xing's own abilities. Therefore, Yu Xing suspected that when the deducers in each group entered the second stage, they played different roles that suited them.

Otherwise, if someone is randomly chosen to play the original role of "Fang Xing" as the main artist, I am afraid that others will notice that the skills are not up to standard in the company.

He had digested all the identity information in a short period of time and knew his work station from it. He put one side of the earphones on his right ear and pressed play casually, and an ethereal and eerie child's voice came out.

Hey guys, are music appreciation styles and painting styles so consistent? ?

Yu Xing had no interest in enjoying this kind of music. He took out his mobile phone from his hip pocket, first changed to a pure music in the music software that was already open in the background of the mobile phone, and then walked to his work station with the mobile phone in hand.

"Hello, Brother Fang!"

Sitting in the next seat was this little girl who looked like she had just graduated. The little girl was wearing a plaid shirt and had a work badge on her chest.

Yu Xing glanced at him with indifferent eyes.

The little girl’s name is Guan Xin.

He said "hmm", sat down in his seat, and plugged in the other earphone.

Hmm... the rule of not listening to music during working hours was just a fart to him.

Guan Xin was already used to Fang Xing's character, so she said nothing and silently turned around to perfect her drawing.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fang Xing take out a stack of white paper from the drawer.

She prefers to complete her work on a digital tablet, but Fang Xing prefers to draw by hand, and then scan and upload it after drawing. In terms of hand drawing alone, no one in the company can match him.

Quite admirable.

It was not that Yu Xing didn't feel Guan Xin's attention. He calmly checked some of the drafts of the character's previous design, and took advantage of the opportunity to use his free hand to check the information on his phone.

There are not many softwares, they are all necessary. Other than that, there are drawing software on various mobile phones.

There are only a dozen or so people in the address book, and the notes are clear, but the most recent call record was two months ago.

It can be seen that apart from social software such as WeChat QQ, Fang Xing does not often use other contact channels.

"Brother Fang, Sister Zhou asked me to tell you that... she has a new idea about the setting of the Ghost Bride in Chapter 3. If it's convenient for you... she wants to talk to you about the Ghost Bride at noon. design issues."

Suddenly, as soon as Yu Xing sat down, the chair was not warmed, and a nervous voice penetrated his eardrums.

Sister Zhou? Is it Zhou Xue?

In the supernatural space constructed by the ghost groom and young master, Zhou Xue is a manifestation of Liu Xue.

But now, "Zhou Xue" really exists and has become a victim of the second phase of the mission-she may die at any time.

Thank you for your tips! ! The monthly pass is very helpful. I have already reached fifth place. I hope I can stick to this position for a little longer (˙o˙) and not to be blown away too quickly~ Then... Chunmian has become the second leader. I am happy to hear it. I owe another 10,000 words. Add more...
