Absurd deduction game

The team was lucky. The rain stopped after almost an hour, and the dark clouds dispersed, revealing a bright white sky.

They are ready to go.

During this period of time, Yu Xing received a clear understanding of the information about the tomb. Some of his doubts were resolved, and new questions were added.

That was the sense of disobedience he could feel at any time. Now he was basically sure that he must have forgotten something. After he entered the mountains, was there any place where he could experience something and then forget about it?

It's only the time he lies in the coffin.

Although Carlos said he only went in for three minutes, supernatural powers that blur the flow of time are not uncommon, and Yu Xing has encountered them many times since he became a deducer.

Yu Xing kept an eye on him, allowing him to change his memory without noticing. This power must be very strong, and nothing happened to him now, and he didn't feel any malice, which means that this should be some kind of "plot need" .

A deduction game is a game after all. Even if the NPCs in the investigator-type deduction are free, they are still people in the game - their identities can be replaced by the deduction at will. Even if the world operates independently, Yu Xing does not think it is real.

Speaking of which, Yu Xing has met other people in the real world before, such as Ning Feng. He has not yet contacted the anomaly research team in the Persona template, so he does not know what system Ning Feng belongs to. .

But since he has formed his own group to participate in the deduction, Yu Xing tentatively believes that the other party's world is a place of the same level as his own world, and can be called "real".

In short - in this deduction world, everything seems to be heading towards the future randomly, but Yu Xing feels that this is just because the established route is too huge, so there is no sense of compulsion.

He should have some memory loss now. This is part of the "plot" and he doesn't need to worry too much.

As the team was about to set off, Yu Xing stopped Carlos and asked, "Where are the paintings hidden?"

When Carlos heard that Yu Xing was still thinking about the painting, he pointed helplessly behind the tablet: "I'm afraid it might get wrinkled, so I rolled it up and stuffed it into a wooden box for you. How about it? Is the treatment good enough?"

"Very good." Yu Xing nodded with satisfaction and happily packed up his painting tube.

In this case, future generations who come here to admire the name of Yao Dao can find a painting belonging to the horror painter San here. This is like the world finding a smartphone in Sanxingdui that can also display contacts. The number on it It will definitely become famous.

Even if it is not disclosed to the public, someone will secretly notice him, which will affect his character's experience... Yu Xing has discovered a kind of prediction technique of investigator type deduction. As long as he leaves clues himself, then next time he will do it again. Come in, the content of the deduction will most likely be related to the clues left behind, and it will play a more or less prophetic role.

Familiar characters and environments can greatly increase the survival rate.

Yu Xing threw away some unused things, replaced them with the items assigned by the new team, and then walked out of the ancestral hall with the team members and headed back.

If you want to go back to Living Tail Lake, you have to pass by the bird corpse forest and the corpse pit that even Yu Xing can't stand.

It was a safe journey. Yu Xing, Carlos and Lin were all secretly paying attention to whether the thing that had sneaked in had appeared. Lin held a wooden compass in his hand and walked in the middle of the team, mumbling something.

But no one can understand and hear clearly.

When they walked near the bird corpse forest, the wind brought the smell of decay. Yu Xing began to feel disgusted and slowed down, as if there was a cesspool in front of him.

"What kind of expression do you have?" Carlos was amused. He put on black leather gloves on his hands and put them in his jacket pockets. He nudged Yu Xing teasingly with his elbow, "Mysophobia? Or..."

"Don't you think it smells bad?" The dislike in Yu Xing's tone was almost overflowing. There were many people listening next to him. He held on to the strap of his backpack with a troubled expression, "Maybe a big guy like you has already developed this habit. I am different from the ability to not care about the environment. I have been spoiled since I was a child and I cannot get used to this."

San is indeed a pampered child, born into a rich family with a golden key.

Ash leaned over and said, "San, is your family rich?"

"It's just average. It's just that the brothers are so rich that they don't like each other. They always want to get in each other's way, and they also want the old man to return to the west as soon as possible to fight for the family property." Yu Xing put on the newly acquired mask as he spoke. Cuts out most of the smell.

"Wow!" Ash's eyes lit up, "You know, I'm not good at Chinese. If I understand correctly, you should be richer than the nobles in my hometown!"

"It's a big country with many rich people." Yunika was very proud, as if she was a native of the country. "Ash, if you are interested in the history of your country, maybe you can come to me and I can help you." Get to know it. Trust me, when you get to know it, you’ll fall in love with it.”

Yu Xing glanced at her calmly. It sounded to him that the NPC had begun to issue prompts.

If you want to know about the history of the Demonic Period, you can find the historian Yunika.

Ash thanked Yunika, and then continued to look at Yu Xing with admiration: "You are so rich, why do you do such a dangerous business?"

Everyone's ears perked up, except for Carlos, who wanted to know.

Yu Xing immediately realized that Ash seemed to be just chatting, but in fact he was trying to obtain his identity information. He could also judge how much he could be trusted based on his motivations.

He shook his head politely, and then sighed deeply: "The money belongs to my family, not mine. I am just one of many children. There is little hope of inheriting even one tenth of the family property, because the family In the end, one pillar will be chosen to inherit most of the property, and as for the others, it will be good if they are not killed or expelled."

"I came to rob the tomb because the captain of another team invited me to join him. I'm not very interested in money, but I wanted to take this opportunity to make some achievements and let the elders see me, so I agreed."

This reason is easy to make up, and it is reasonable and reasonable, but it is not easy to verify.

"You are so good at painting and so famous, but your elders are still not satisfied?" Lin had put away the compass and inserted a sentence. Because he usually spoke bluntly, it sounded like a question now.

But in fact, he didn't mean this. When Yu Xing looked at him, Lin shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no ghost following him now.

He asked this kind of question purely because he saw Yu Xing's painting ability last night and was confused that such a strong painter was not recognized by his family.

"Painting is not worth mentioning in their eyes. After all, I am just a popular painter in a niche circle, and I am far from being a well-known painter in the world. The value that a painting can create is very limited. There is far less money than my brothers can make from doing business." Yu Xing felt extremely aggrieved. When it came to matters at home, his knuckles turned white, as if he was being bullied and forbearing.

"They don't like painting, so I thought about whether I could take advantage of this opportunity to join the tomb robbing circle. Being able to snatch treasures from corpses and ghosts is also considered an ability. If I can often bring treasures to my family's antique business supply, the elders will believe in my ability and courage.”

Yu Xing took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Forget it...it's useless to talk about it now. I can't change these delicate habits for a while, but I will overcome them slowly. I will wear this in the Bird Corpse Forest Just a mask, let’s go.”

Carlos's forehead twitched, feeling contempt for this guy who first showed off his wealth and then showed weakness.

Yu Xing revealed his family affairs. In the end, not only did the team members not feel the burden of being a rich kid, but they also praised him for his enlightenment. He really guides people's hearts!

Mr. Magic really hopes that San will give up his paintbrush and learn the simplest card magic with him.

Maybe it will be popular.

Yu Xing didn't know what Carlos was complaining about him in his mind. In fact, a large part of what he just said was nonsense. He made it up based on the background when he created the character.

He didn't even know what painter San's family did, and they were definitely not as rich as Ash said.

But the danger in his home is definitely greater than that in the Demon Tomb Palace. The dangers of the two are in different directions. The tomb is large enough to swallow up all the living people who come here but are not careful enough, and he is just one of them.

In the deduction of Tomb Palace, if you have strong teammates to lead you, you can survive without being too strong.

But the weirdness in San's family must be small-scale and targeted at this family. It is highly targeted and no one can escape. For the deducer, the latter is even more terrifying - the investigation studio he has never met before. His boss also said that if he made a big contribution this time, he would help him take care of things at home.

It shows that his boss thinks he can survive in the Tomb Palace, but doesn't think he can handle the family side. This is also evidence of the terror in the San family.

As the group chatted, the rotten smell in the air became stronger and stronger. By the time the bird carcasses hanging on the high trees could be seen with the naked eye, several people had already put on masks.

The recent rain not only failed to wash away the rotten smell nearby, but actually made it worse.

Yu Xing suddenly felt a little strange. When he came, he only smelled a bit of fishy smell after entering the forest. Why did he smell it so far away when he left?

Even if it was due to the wind direction, it wouldn't be so outrageous. Something had quietly changed again.

All these fragmentary anomalies were accumulated in his mind, the team continued to move forward, and Shijiu suddenly stopped.

Shijiu urgently asked everyone to stop moving and squinted at the entrance to the corpse forest.

"what is that?"

Ash subconsciously answered: "What is what...Oh, God."

Everyone's eyesight was good. After getting the prompt, they took a closer look and took a deep breath.

I hadn't noticed it when I was far away just now, but now that I was walking in, I saw a corpse much larger than a bird corpse hanging on a tree near the entrance of the corpse forest.

The corpse's feet were bare, its limbs were hanging limply, and they were all dressed in white shrouds. Their hair was disheveled, covering their appearance, and swayed with the wind, like ringing a bell.

They were human corpses. Both men and women had hair that reached their chests and abdomen.

Human corpses were hung in a dense row, floating in the wind, as if they were on display, and an ominous premonition enveloped everyone's minds.

"Fuck, this beast is not satisfied with hanging bird carcasses, and hangs people instead!" Mr. Li likes to speak harshly. Judging from his first reaction, he has actually seen a rickety man who likes to hang bird carcasses.

But then everyone, including Mr. Li, was startled.

Carlos slowly turned his head and asked Yu Xing: "Were these corpses there when you came here before?"

Yu Xing was very sure that there were only bird corpses here before, not human corpses, because he wandered around the forest for a long time in order to find a place for the rickets to live.

His exposed eyes were full of confusion and shock, and he said nervously: "No, no, this is the body that only appeared after I left."

But the problem is!

Shijiu pulled out his sword and looked around cautiously.

The problem is - the rickets hanging the corpse are already dead.

He was bitten in half by a fish monster and thrown into an underground river. It is impossible for the rickets to be resurrected so quickly, because the reason for its resurrection is the black coffin, and they stayed in the ancestral hall all night, and nothing came out of the black coffin!

What is...

Besides rickets, are there other intelligent humanoids hidden in this forest?

Carlos asked: "Who are those corpses? Another team?"

No one answered him because no one was sure.

Lin immediately thought, could this be done by that ghost among them? He immediately took out the compass again and recited the Feng Shui formula passed down from his family.

The situation in his eyes began to change. Others knew that he was looking for a reason and did not dare to disturb him. They all took out weapons to be on guard. Only Will hesitated and took out a folding metal plate.

Will unfolded the metal plate, and it turned out to be a very exquisite Ouija board, with white characters on a black background, and gold-gilded patterns on it, which were embellished with mystery and nobility. There were twenty-six letters and numbers 0-9, and there were some other characters besides the psychic. Symbols used to communicate with the dead are also incomprehensible.

He took out the supporting tools, spread a disposable mat on a piece of barely dry land, and sat down cross-legged, with the Ouija board placed on his knees.

Will began to divine.

He chose the Ouija board as a divination tool, which means that he intends to communicate with the souls here. It just so happens that there are many corpses here, and the Ouija board is a very useful and direct way.

Lin and Will both started to get serious. Carlos touched his chin, turned to Yu Xing and said quietly: "Look, are there any people from your previous team among those corpses? If you can't see the face, just look at the figure."

"It seems... not." Yu Xing could see more clearly that the people in Brother Sun's team were all burly, but the human corpses hanging on the tree now were fat and thin, but none of them were strong.

This is indeed not like the work of a rickets person. A rickets person would not put someone into a shroud before hanging them.

Suddenly, Yu Xing tilted his head and laughed under his breath: "I suddenly remembered the rookie competition before. Count the number of corpses. Do you feel anything familiar?"

Carlos recalled it for a moment, then frowned and clicked his tongue.

Corpses, twelve.

Ten men and two women.

It's a perfect match for their team.
