Absurd deduction game

The red curtain made of gauze was gently rolled up, and the figure above was sleeping uneasily.

The figure turned over and didn't know where it hit. A peanut fell from the bed and rolled to the corner of the round table in the center of the room, making an imperceptible sound.

The wine glasses were placed neatly on the round table. Against the backdrop of the specially laid festive tablecloth, the textured walls of the glasses reflected a faint brilliance.

The word "囍" is posted in all conspicuous places, which seems to tell everyone that this happy event is worth celebrating.

There were many peanuts and jujubes under Zhou Xue's body, which meant "having a child early". She turned over uncomfortably, and raised her hand in a daze to touch the hard jade pillow under her head. The cold touch made her mind clear. After a while, he opened his eyes with some panic.

Where am I!

She didn't dare to move. The red candle lit on the candlestick beside the bed told one thing - she was dreaming again.

And this dream was different from before. It was her first time in this strange place. It looks like...a wedding scene in ancient times?

A thunder sounded in her mind, and fear appeared in her eyes involuntarily, because she clearly remembered that the man in her dream said every day that she should go back and get married...

Zhou Xue noticed that there seemed to be no one else in the room, so she nervously sat up with her arms propped up.

With this movement, a flash of red instantly made her face turn ugly. She looked down and found that she was wearing a thick bridal dress, with the skirt spread out and taking up a large area.

How could it be...she obviously didn't agree to him?

Why do you still come to a place like this?

Didn’t it say that as long as you don’t let go, the ghosts can’t do anything to you?

Her mind was in turmoil. She was used to being so awake in her dreams, but for a while, she was not willing to accept the fact that the scene had changed.

The previous dreams were all set in her bedroom. No matter how scary the female ghost and the man in the dream were, she felt that something was still far away from happening. Besides, she had jade, so nothing would happen to her...

Where is my jade?

Zhou Xue touched her chest in shock and found that the scene in this dream had changed, the clothes had changed, and even the jade was gone.

Cold sweat suddenly soaked her entire back, and she hurriedly got up. In order to facilitate the possible chase later, she also put on the red embroidered shoes beside the bed.

After a while, Zhou Xue took off the outer robe that was in the way, leaving only a red middle coat that was easier to move around. Then she calmed down and looked around.

The windows were not closed tightly, and the night filtered through the gaps. No moonlight could be seen, but it only felt eerie.

"When can I wake up..."

She had to face two scary ghosts in her dreams every day. She had already developed resistance. She didn't see any ghosts at the moment. Although she was panicked, she calmed down quickly. She started to figure out how long it would take to dream today and what she might encounter. What.

To a certain extent, Zhou Xue is really suitable for her current job. For her, designing horror games is not that difficult.

She usually plays a lot of horror games. She used to joke with her colleagues that when holographic technology becomes available, she must design a horror game and transplant it into it so that players can feel the VIP treatment of being immersed in the ghost scene.

Now she felt it in advance.

The game experience is extremely poor - no one will be bold after knowing that they will really be dragged to death by ghosts.

Zhou Xue cautiously took a peek outside through the open window.

Based on past experience, she would probably stay in the dream for about forty minutes, but the scene changed today. Maybe the ghost had been around her for a long time, and the influence had become deeper... She didn't know what today's change meant. All I can do is try to get rid of the worst thoughts and try to hold on for forty minutes.

As a person who has considerable experience in horror plot design, Zhou Xue looked at the darkness outside and firmly decided to go out.

In horror games or horror movies, it is impossible to be alone and run around, but these two principles are all based on multiplayer, and the plot must be weakened.

Now she clearly knows who will come to find her - it is nothing more than the man who has evolved to chase her in her dreams with a knife.

She definitely couldn't stay here peacefully. She didn't need to think about it. It wouldn't be long before that person came to this hut to "get married" to her. She had to escape and hide before the other person arrived. Get up, hide as long as you can, it's best to survive this dream. In this case, she will have experience if she has such a dream again tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...

Just as he was thinking this, footsteps came from the door.

Along with the footsteps came a melodious tune, but the person humming the tune seemed to be in a good mood, and the tune was floating, with a unique sense of danger.

Zhou Xue's expression changed, and she grabbed the window and tried to turn it out.

Her clothes were still too long and it was inconvenient to move. She was also afraid of being discovered if she made any movement, so she gritted her teeth and had to control herself very hard.

The door rang.

Zhou Xue also turned over in a critical moment.

The moon was still there, emitting a radiance that was better than nothing, preventing her from falling.

Outside the house is a small grassland, which seems to have been carefully cared for by the gardener. There are some flowers that cannot be named. The pruning technology of the spherical grass balls is quite good. There is a clump just by the window, which can block Zhou Xue's figure. Six or seven points.

The hummer entered the room and the music suddenly stopped.

"Huh? Run away?" The deep male voice had a hint of obvious dissatisfaction, as if a perverted killer had discovered that his target had escaped while he wasn't paying attention, and he had the excitement of watching his prey struggle needlessly.

"Let me see...where can I run?"

The voices came from far away, and Zhou Xue shrank down the window sill, intending to use the protruding eaves and spherical grass to cover up the traces.

However, a hand reached out from behind her and grasped her arm.

Before she could scream in fright, the other hand firmly covered her mouth, blocking all her sounds, and pulled her sideways with irresistible force.

Zhou Xue struggled, catching a glimpse of the red cuffs at the back, and felt desperate: "It's over, why can this thing still teleport?"

She was quickly dragged far away, and stopped behind several other connected grass balls. The person who pulled her impatiently said in a low voice: "Why are you moving? Do you want to be discovered?"

His voice was gloomy, as cold as ice, and his tone was fierce, as if he was despising a pig.

Zhou Xue paused and heard that the voice was different from the person humming in the room.

She stopped struggling, and just when she was about to ask the person behind her to take away the hand covering her mouth, she saw that the window she climbed out of was still fanning gently.

……yes!

When she came out, she pushed the window open and hid underneath. However, the two leaves of the window did not return to static, but opened and closed slightly.

As long as the person entering the room is not blind, they can see that someone has just left through the window!

Zhou Xue was frightened and looked up. Sure enough, half a person poked out of the window the next moment.

It was a man wearing a half-mask, with his eyes and nose covered, leaving only his mouth and a smooth, graceful chin. His hair is half-length, and his leaning movements are extremely aggressive.

"Lower your head." The person behind her reminded her coldly, let go of her arm, and pushed her head down.

Zhou Xue: "..."

She cooperated and leaned down to ensure that she would not be seen by the man looking around from the other side of the window, looking over there through the limited gap in the grass ball leaves.

The man seemed to smile: "You're hiding well~ Are you - here?"

With incredible flexibility, he stretched his entire upper body almost upside down.

One hand was raised high, holding a sharp knife, and he stabbed hard under the window eaves!

The person who originally seemed personable has directly exposed his crazy nature, making people feel a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Xue began to feel lucky that her mouth was still covered, because she almost screamed at that moment.

If she hadn't been pulled away, she would have been hiding where the man was looking.

She wanted to use the principle of darkness under the lamp to escape, but she ignored the window leaves that exposed her position. Fortunately, someone pulled her and moved her position. Otherwise, you can imagine what her end will be now...

Strong fear swept over me.

The man seemed to be a little surprised: "Oh? You're not here? You're a little smarter than I thought..."

Zhou Xue: "..."

His body shrank back, as if he had left the window.

The person behind her finally let go of her mouth and stepped back.

Zhou Xue turned around with cold sweat all over her body and saw a young man with a stern and profound face.

She was instantly convinced that she had never seen this person in her previous dreams. In fact, even the man who hummed the tune just now was slightly different in temperament from the man in the dream who wanted her to get married obediently.

But the latter two are obviously still the same person, but I don't know why there is suddenly this new person in front of her today, who seems to be helping her.

The weirdest thing is that this man is wearing a bright red robe. Although he does not wear a matching hat, it is obvious that this is a groom's uniform.

Zhao Yijiu frowned when he saw the mission target staring at him blankly.

What he hates most is protection missions, which means that his life is no longer his own, and whether he can survive is largely determined by the IQ and cooperation of the target.

He tugged at Zhou Xue impatiently: "Leave here first. Just because he was considerate of his demeanor and didn't follow me out, it doesn't mean he will give up on thoroughly inspecting this place."

"Oh." Zhou Xue was still thinking about the fact that the groom and the bad guy who wanted to take her away in the dream were not the same person. Hearing this, she could only nod her head obediently and let the other person drag her quietly to another yard.

After walking for a while, she realized that she was the "bride" and the other party was the "groom". The pervert who wanted to kill her, well, that's right, but who was that pervert...?

Since that man was not the groom, why did he want her to come back to get married?

And now it seemed that the "groom" was not on the same side as that person, and even wanted to protect her. She suddenly couldn't figure out what the person asked her to do every night. What was the meaning of crying for a bride.

The groom was very familiar with the yard and took her to the garden. The garden had the most colorful things and had the advantage of blocking the view. It was also large and would not be blocked.

After a long while, the two squatted down behind the rockery, and Zhou Xue was finally able to ask: "W-what on earth is this place?"

Zhao Yijiu glanced at her: "Fang Mansion."

Before Zhou Xue fell asleep, he had been wandering around this place for a long time.

This is a complete version of the Yin Mansion. The layout is exactly the same as the large courtyard with five entrances and five exits in the first stage, but it is much more prosperous.

There were no servants, no master or madam. When he woke up, it was still daytime, and he was in the main room where Zhou Xue had just been lying. After walking around for two times, he found the wedding bride Liu Xue wandering around.

Liu Xue seemed to be unconscious and was not bothered by her floating around. He watched her from a distance and did not provoke her. It was not until night fell that she returned to the main room and lay down as if she was used to it.

In addition to her, there was also a lunatic who looked humanoid in the house. The lunatic’s hair was half long and tied behind his head. He wore this mask. To be honest, with that temperament, at first glance, Zhao Yijiu thought It's Yu Xing.

He wanted to rendezvous, but after being discovered by the madman, he realized that it was not Yu Xing - because the first thing the madman said to him was "Huh? Young Master Fang seems to be different today."

Afterwards, they started a chase.

The madman had a great time, and the knife in his hand was shining with cold light. Then he probably got tired and finally gave up looking for the groom played by Zhao Yijiao. Only then did Zhao Yijiao have time to search for clues.

Because this is a ghost house in a prosperous period——

This means that many clues that did not appear in the first stage can be found here.

He first confirmed the surname of this wealthy family through the genealogy, gathered together the incomplete identity information, and then collected some text information to confirm that there were no other people or ghosts in the house. The absurd deduction system finally gave gave him a more detailed mission.

[From midnight to one o'clock, Zhou Xue will enter this place, covering Liu Xue's identity, please protect her. 】

Only one hour.

Zhao Yijiu only saw Liu Xue and Madman in Fang Mansion, and he was sure that they were not Zhao Ruru and Yu Xing, so he realized that he was the "lone one" in this stage of the task.

The time limit for protecting Zhou Xue is three days, and he only has to bear the responsibility for one hour on the first day, which shows that in the outside world, Yu Xing and Zhao Ruru are carrying out the task in another way.

And for him, his one hour will not be easier than the twelve hours of his two teammates.

According to the identity information, he knew that he was playing the young master of the Fang family in Zhou Xue's dream, but he didn't know what would happen if Zhou Xue died in the dream. He could only treat it as if it were in reality and protect Zhou Xue from being caught by the madman.

"What place is Fang Mansion?" Zhou Xue was a little confused. She had never heard this word before.

And when she heard "Fang", Fang Xing's face couldn't help but appear in her mind.

Actually, if you think about it, Fang Xing looks a little bit like the person who wanted to kill her...? I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

"The Fang Mansion is the Fang Mansion," Zhao Yijiu listened to the surroundings and looked at the countdown given by the system, "It was your dream, how could I know."

"Eh!?" Zhou Xue was really shocked now, "Do you know this is my dream? No, no, no, this is not important anymore. Do you know the identity of that person just now?"

"This man has no name. Everyone in the house calls him Master." This was determined by Zhao Yijiu through the clues he found. His eyes were cold and he thought, Yu Xing's guess was indeed correct. Some characters did not exist, but It's just something that can't be mentioned in the first stage.

"He was invited by my mother after I died. It is said that he is quite capable. He was the one who came up with the whole sinister idea."

Zhao Yijiao's acting requirement is that he must play the role of Young Master Fang well, including in Zhou Xue's dream, where he is a "ghost" who is clearly aware of his situation.

Sure enough, although Zhou Xue knew very well that no living person would really appear in her dream, she still shuddered.
