Absurd deduction game

The night in the mountain forest was very cold. Yu Xing shivered and hugged himself tightly.

On the eighteenth hour of the deduction, a new reminder appeared in Yu Xing's mind.

[You know that Carlos has joined another organization, so even if you want to cooperate, you cannot completely trust him, because the secret of the Tomb Palace is very important, and the fewer people know about it, the better. If the thing that causes the "resurrection" effect is a treasure , then only one person or one force can do so. 】

[Carlos will also not tell you all the information. In addition to being friends, you will also be competitors - all forces that plan to go to the Tomb Palace are competitors. 】

[Brother Sun's team is more stable than some mercenary teams, but everyone's strength is limited. You don't expect to get information about other forces from them, so do your own investigation. 】

[You can find out that there are four forces that intend to go to the Tomb Palace this time, Sun Ge’s team, Oster Company, another tomb robbery team with fixed personnel, and the investigation studio where you are located. The remaining forces are still preparing. There will be no action in the short term. 】

[For commercial interests, for money, for the desire for resurrection, peace has long been torn apart. Under the tomb, in addition to ancient times and death, there is also the bloodshed from others. 】

This time the system prompt did not cause any trouble, it just completed the background in a satisfactory manner, and reminded Yu Xing not to trust Carlos too much.

There is no doubt about this, and there is no need for the system's "good intentions". Yu Xing has never trusted Carlos since he met him in Coffin Village.

Carlos's character is not the type that people can trust. His acting style is too weird. Even though he had a good cooperation with Yu Xing in the rookie competition and took the initiative to release goodwill, Yu Xing naturally had a hunch - this person very dangerous.

After reading people for many years, no matter what a person pretends to be on the surface, he can't fool Yu Xing's intuition.

After getting the last piece of information, Yu Xing got all the information he could get, put an end to his worries, and slept in a tree all night.

Time passes and the sky becomes white.

He leaned his head on the tree trunk, folded his hands across his chest, and no longer hid the knife. He directly hooked his forearm with the strap on the scabbard and slept peacefully.

Although there are many active corpses hidden in the Valley of the Dead, it also has an advantage, that is, insects and snakes cannot enter.

Since entering the Valley of the Dead last night, Yu Xing has not heard the sound of insects. He doesn't know if there are any vines hidden in the valley. Anyway, before he decided to go to bed last night, he checked the surrounding area. Except for a lone dead person, No other threats were found.

In other words, except for the corpses, the dangers in the Valley of the Dead have been greatly weakened.

Yu Xing thought about it last night and found that these dead people are also a kind of "resurrection", similar to - failed resurrection?

The most ideal resurrection is when a person dies and his body is fully rejuvenated from consciousness to memory, and he always has complete autonomous control.

But the corpses in the Valley of the Dead only had their bodies restored to vitality, and the recovery was incomplete, hideous and ugly.

He estimated that these corpses were also affected by the things in the underground tomb that caused the legend of resurrection. It was just that they were too far away, so the resurrection was so incomplete.

Yu Xing still didn't know how these "resurrected" corpses sensed living people, so he specifically chose a tree that was higher than the jumping height of the dead to rest.

When it was just dawn, he slowly woke up, and the mountain wind blew, and fortunately the leaves around him rustled.

Although he likes to sleep, when he is alone in the wild, he is still thinking about the map of Brother Sun's team. His vigilance has been greatly improved. Not only will he not oversleep, he will even wake up from his peaceful sleep instantly if he catches an abnormal sound.

That was it now, he heard a few chaotic footsteps amidst the noise of the leaves.

Yu Xing opened his eyes and glanced towards the camp, seeing the dirty Brother Sun and Scar coming back.

Scar also carried a flame gun, and the two looked exhausted, staggering and limping.

They were very vigilant. Even after returning to the camp, Scar was still exploring the way in front, and Brother Sun followed behind with the knife in his hand, his eyes constantly roaming around.

Unfortunately, Yu Xing hid too well and was far away from them, so they failed to discover the theatergoers hiding in the trees.

Yu Xing saw their mouths moving, as if they were saying something, and then Scar took out the flare, raised his arm and fired a shot into the sky.

The red signal flickered into the sky. Yu Xing watched it for a while and realized that Brother Sun and Scar were going to wait for others at the camp, so he turned his head boredly.

Then he would just wait.

Anyway, he eats a lot and is not in a hurry.

The Valley of the Dead was much peaceful during the day. The corpses seemed unable to come out during the day. The sun shone in the valley, and some leaves reflected light.

Yu Xing watched Brother Sun enter the tent to rest while Dao Ba stayed outside to eat some dry food. He was also hungry, so he opened a bag of biscuits and continued to keep an eye on him while eating.

About an hour later, a petite figure appeared from the mountain with a gray face. Yu Xing took a look and said, yo, Ai Li.

This seemingly frail little doctor was actually the second batch to return to the camp, and she was alone. I don’t know how she survived being washed away last night and was not seriously injured.

It had just rained heavily yesterday, and the soil in the mountains was soft. Aili's whole body was covered in mud, as if she had rolled in the mud.

She probably rushed over after seeing the signal. As soon as she saw Scar, she sat down on the ground excitedly, looking exhausted.

The team is regrouping, and once everyone is back and resting for a while, they can start again.

All four people present thought so.

But until the afternoon, no one came back.

Now even Yu Xing felt something was wrong. What about the rest of the people?

Finley, Aaron, and the brother whose name he still doesn't know, are all dead?

Hmm... Thinking about the speed of the corpses, it seems that it is not incomprehensible.

It's just that this team is a bit miserable. We haven't seen the tomb yet, but there are only four dead?

Yu Xing also included himself.

Then there is a ghost's tomb? Brother Sun is not worthy.

Their level is only worthy of accumulating experience in a small tomb. Once they arrive in a big tomb, they will be cannon fodder. Instead of running all the way on the road of seeking death, it is better to turn back and stop the loss in time.

Yu Xing looked at the three lonely people in the camp and guessed with a headache, what should I do if they really give up?

Then can't I just wait passively for Carlos to come? Can I rush down now and ask Brother Sun to hand over the map?

no.

Yu Xing sighed helplessly. If it was an independent deduction, he could do this. However, the world of investigator deduction games is the most closely integrated, and he couldn't kill people casually. If he snatched Brother Sun's map, it would spread to other people's settings. Isn't it about to collapse?

So, steal?

This is acceptable.

Yu Xing's eyes lit up and he thought that if he stole the map, Brother Sun would not be able to enter the tomb. He indirectly saved three lives! He is so kind.

At this time, Aili and Scar, who had been frightened all night, finally couldn't hold on any longer. Aili went into the tent to sleep first, while Scar woke up Brother Sun and took turns with him.

The map was carried by Brother Sun in his pocket. Seeing Brother Sun sitting outside alone, Yu Xing quietly slid down from the tree and approached silently with steps lighter than a dead man.

He's going to start stealing.

Yu Xing touched behind Brother Sun and hit the back of Brother Sun's head with the scabbard, knocking him unconscious.

Ellie and Scar in the tent were too tired and fell asleep deeply, so no one heard the muffled sound.

Yu Xing helped Brother Sun to lie down slowly, then found the folded map from Brother Sun's usual pocket and smiled with satisfaction.

As long as no one sees me taking something, it's called stealing!

"Go home, it's so safe at home. If you sell the antiques you bought in the past, it will be enough for a lifetime." He mouthed to the unconscious Brother Sun, "You are so greedy... I can only help you so much? You’re welcome~”

It is estimated that if Brother Sun is still awake, he will definitely vomit blood.

After Yu Xing got the map, he ran away. He no longer waited in the Valley of the Dead and walked deeper into the valley while studying the route marked on the map.

This route is intermittent, with many unclear markings in between. It can be said that if you want to follow this route, half of it depends on sight, and the other half can only rely on luck.

The route continued until the last mountain. The terrain of that mountain was the most bizarre and could not even be represented well on the map. It was completely to the point where even having a map would be of no help.

Yu Xing stared at it for a long time and decided to walk to Chongyin Mountain based on this map first and talk about the rest later.

Without much effort, he reached the end of the valley before the sun set.

The terrain of this valley gradually dropped. At the end, it had formed a nearly vertical cliff of more than 20 meters with the surrounding mountains. Yu Xing stood at the bottom of the cliff and looked up, taking a breath of cold air.

So awesome...

As dusk sets in the west, the orange-red sun spreads golden light onto the cliff face. Everything in sight seems to be covered with an illusory and unreal veil, as if it will melt at any time in the transpiration of small particles in the air.

There were unknown branches hanging on the cliff that were old and strong enough for people to climb. They hung down to the ground. He stretched out his hand and pulled them over. These were normal plants and would not move.

Absolutely, in addition to these normal branches that can be climbed, there are also very familiar emerald green "creepers" wrapped around the branches and hanging on the sides of the branches. In short, it seems that if someone wants to climb up the cliff through the branches , you have to face the risk of encountering these weird vines.

These vines are most sensitive to temperature, but no one said that if they were pulled at room temperature, they would be fine.

This is to block all the roads trying to go to Chongyin Mountain and drive out all the people... Even the natural world is so prepared, which really makes people look forward to what is in the tomb.

Yu Xing thought to himself, then he tapped his fingers on the mountain wall to make sure it was solid, then picked up the branch in front of him and started climbing up very decisively.

He is so skilled that it is not difficult to avoid the weird vines, so this cliff still leaves some people a chance to pass, just like a screening.

As he climbed up, the green creepers remained motionless, like snakes that had fallen into hibernation.

But Yu Xing knew that these "hibernating snakes" were just sleeping. Once someone disturbed them, they would immediately explode.

From his perspective, he could see a tangle of green vines on the top of the cliff. They were wrapping and merging with each other, and he didn't know what they would eventually turn into.

Yu Xing focused on them as he climbed, tensing his body muscles until he reached the top with about five meters left, and his vigilance was raised to the highest level.

As expected, the vines that had been motionless along the way seemed a little restless at this time, sliding slightly as if they sensed something. They seemed to be looking for something, perhaps looking for Yu Xing.

Yu Xing ignored these things that could not cause much harm to him. His eyes stayed on the closely connected takraw balls on the top of the cliff, and he muttered: "It's strange, why do they form balls?"

This is not only more conspicuous and difficult to disguise, but also makes it difficult to attack people, because many vines are trapped inside and there is no time to escape and entangle people.

But since it is already in this state, there must be a reason that Yu Xing doesn't know.

His expression was difficult to distinguish. He looked at the vine hanging from the rattan ball beside him. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled it, and then immediately withdrew his hand.

In an instant, the barbs on the vine popped out from under the seemingly harmless surface like cat nails. The vine turned purple inch by inch from the point where it was touched, and the tip at the end also tilted up like a snake. Swim along the cliff to Yu Xing's location.

Yu Xing quickly took a few steps on the cliff and climbed up. He was already very close to the sepak takraw balls. Only when he got closer could he intuitively feel how big these balls were, each with a diameter of more than two meters.

Intuitively speaking, this must not be a good thing. Yu Xing did not intend to cause trouble, so he found a few depressions on the cliff for footing. With a little skill, he stood firmly on the cliff - there was actually a heavy fog above.

The white mist brought the unique moisture of the mountain forest and obscured the plants. Yu Xing heard several elongated chirping of insects in his ears. As if in mourning, he took out his long knife and protected it by his side. He immediately moved away from the cliff to avoid appearing. Something knocked him down.

This happened to be a part that was not on the map. Yu Xing followed the compass and walked a little further when he suddenly heard a faint human voice.

The voice seemed very far away. It was a woman's voice. It was not harsh, but very comfortable, with a hint of familiarity.

The voice said: "Who is it?"

The echoes of the words floated back and forth in the forest several times.

Yu Xing narrowed his eyes, unmoved, and tightened his grip on the knife: "Who are you?"

Unexpectedly, the other party also replied: "Who are you?"

The tone was exactly the same as Yu Xing's, and even his voice suddenly seemed a little similar.

Yu Xing chuckled lightly and walked towards the source of the sound. As he walked, he taunted: "I didn't expect that there are parrots that like to copy words in this kind of forest?"

"I didn't expect there to be...hehehe..."
