Absurd deduction game

Danger always coexists with opportunity. As you get closer and closer to the secret, death will also approach with heavy steps and a sinister smile.

Carlos understood this. When he lifted the coffin board, he was almost bitten by the zombie fangs of an ancient corpse and was poisoned by corpse poison.

Anyway, the bigger the death, the more clues and rewards you will get, because taking risks to find the truth is the original intention of the absurd deduction.

His premonition of danger came and went, but it seemed to work for him today. Carlos hesitated for two seconds, and seeing that Yu Xing had already begun to touch the mechanism, he reminded him: "Be careful, there is something inside."

There were all outsiders present, and they had much less worries about each other. Unexpectedly, after going around in circles for a few days, all the NPCs eventually left the team one by one, leaving only the Deducers and Experiencers. Is this just a coincidence?

There is no answer now.

When the three of them were talking just now, Carlos didn't turn on the mic the whole time, and Shijiu could only see some blurry images with white lines flashing around them. She saw Master Li's changes, and also saw Uncle Zhang's head on the shore. He said softly: "It's over, who can I turn to for the remaining payment..."

You must know that when she was hired, she only got half of the reward, and the other half was made up for her by Master Li after the end - she is a mercenary and has many other tasks to do. The cooperation with Master Li is probably the first time. The task is paid once.

Several people behind Shijiu heard this and asked what happened.

Because I don’t know why, the little red dots belonging to each independent device on the monitor are still alive, and even the little red dots symbolizing the dead people will suddenly move every once in a while. It is difficult to imagine what is inside without looking at the real-time screen. what happened.

Shijiu subconsciously glanced at Will, who was standing closest. She felt that Will had been occupied by the ghost timeline, and she didn't know if there were any other changes. The other three people from the tomb robber family were not trustworthy because she didn't understand They, if they changed, she wouldn't be able to tell immediately.

There seems to be no way to prevent the change of timeline. Maybe while she is sitting here, she will no longer be the same person as she was at the beginning.

So she could only think carefully and use a technique she often used to tell half-truths and half-falsehoods about what happened in the tomb, avoiding the fact that Will had already been discovered to be abnormal - although Will had probably heard it. , and had murderous intentions towards her, but it was better to continue to maintain the calm on the surface, so as not to cause chaos on the ground and underground.

The current situation is already very bad, and Shijiu wants to stabilize things as much as possible.

She was already hoping that this trip would end soon. She had no use for such weird supernatural affairs. The uncertainty of the current situation made her feel very dangerous. She could even foresee that Carlos and others would definitely If you see "her in the grave" in the tomb, she might still be dead.

Oh, that's terrible.

…

"Peng!"

Dust was everywhere, and Yu Xing jumped from the ground into the pit, immediately falling into darkness.

About two meters below the flower field, there is indeed a new space, with traces of oldness and moisture. The height is not high, just enough for Yu Xing to stand up straight. It looks cramped and depressing, and the walls are bumpy. Compared with the corridor he passed before, it is even Somewhat "crude".

But this is what a tomb should look like, a pure cemetery without illusions.

Carlos, who was behind, protected Lin and picked up the weaker Lin. The three of them looked at the new tomb passage together. Since the night pearl was missing, Yu Xing turned on his high-intensity flashlight and set it to the weakest setting.

"This looks a bit like a cemetery. The Night Pearl in front seems to be free of charge. I've been thinking about it for a long time. I'm afraid this monster has a mine at home." Carlos complained and got closer to the wall to check. There were many common underground bacteria on the wall. , forming large colonies of strangely colored colonies.

"I checked the information and found that 1,200 years ago, when the princes were fighting for hegemony, even the richest small country could not afford so many precious luminous pearls if its national treasury was exhausted, so it was a maze, not reality." Lin's voice was faint. Yes, in an academic manner.

"After we came out of the maze, there were more luminous pearls inlaid on top of the flower field." Yu Xing started walking forward without even looking at the ground and walls. He smiled and seemed very relaxed. , "In other words, on the upper level, in addition to the maze, the flower fields are also illusory, and they are closer to reality, making it difficult for people to tell the difference."

"Perhaps the Demon Dao just wants to use the upper layer to block all the tomb robbers back." Lin continued, not agreeing with Yu Xing's behavior of walking forward directly, "Be careful of opportunities -"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound on the wall next to Yu Xing, and a small square above his head suddenly opened, revealing a dark quiver.

The arrow was shot out desperately. It was a small black arrow that was faster than ordinary arrows and more difficult to guard against.

The arrows were scattered, firmly placing Yu Xing's location within the attack range.

"Be careful!" Lin's pupils shrank. Yu Xing walked too far forward, leaving him and Carlos too late to rescue him.

Seeing that Lin was determined to help, Carlos lazily crossed his arms: "Don't worry, if you let him be reckless, he won't kill himself."

Lin's eyes twitched uncontrollably. He didn't quite understand where Carlos' confidence came from. Could it be that Carlos and San were actually two very powerful men?

He has never seen such a calm person.

Sure enough, with the sound of metal colliding, Lin saw that the Tang knife in Yu Xing's hand drew a strange arc. It seemed that with just a simple sweep, all the arrows were swept out. The arrows flew out. The support dug into the wall to a frightening depth.

The only person who was not implicated was the direction where Carlos and Lin were standing. This showed that Yu Xing was caught off guard and still had enough energy to look after the rear, and knew not to sweep the arrow behind and accidentally injure his teammates.

After a round of arrows was fired, the quiver above the head did not retract, but there was no other sound. It seemed to be a one-time use.

When Yu Xing turned around, there was no trace of happiness on his face, only that familiar smile: "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Carlos snorted: "No one is worried about you."

Lin: "..." Probably.

Yu Xing was noncommittal, looking at the failed mechanism and said quietly: "The attack mechanism is a one-time use. The triggering mechanism is a ground trap. There are linked sounds on the walls on both sides. The layout of the entire mechanism should be to extend from the ground to the wall, and then feedback At the top of the wall, this is a large mechanism. Although it is not as sophisticated as the small mechanism, the person who could make such a large mechanism in that era must be a genius."

Just like the wooden ox and flowing horse created by Zhuge Liang in the legend, as well as the "Moji Mechanism" of the Spring and Autumn Period, the technology involved in this tomb passage is even more complicated than the Mohist serial crossbow machine.

And this is not only a large mechanism, but also a large mechanism built behind the stone wall. How ingenious did the original builders have to be to realize all this?

Lin was stunned for a moment: "Did you deliberately trigger the mechanism just to test these?"

Yu Xing glanced at him strangely: "Isn't this a basic operation? And testing whether the mechanism is one-time or cyclic can help us confirm whether this road is the one taken by Auster Company. Now it seems that Auster Company The people at Special Company should have taken another path."

He waved his flashlight forward, and saw that there was nothing in the tomb passage ahead except dusty tomb passage, and there were no traces of the mechanism being triggered.

The mechanism in the tomb passage is very hidden. It is almost impossible for a normal person not to step on it. Even Yu Xing did not discover the mechanism before stepping on it.

He didn't believe that everyone in Oster Company could escape.

"So we can also know from this that this level of tomb passage has more than one entrance. Then, if this level of tomb passage is a real tomb passage covered and protected by the layer of maze formation above, and the coffin of the demon passage is also here, We can speculate on several possible locations of the tomb."

Yu Xing continued to walk forward as he spoke: "Either the main tomb and each entrance are concentric, with the entrances forming a circle, with the main tomb and the ghost tree in the middle; or it is fan-shaped, with the main tomb at the handle of the fan. Each entrance is equidistant from the main tomb chamber, while the ghost tree exists alone at Shan Sui's place."

"There is another possibility, that is, the entire tomb is still a regular rectangle, with the main tomb and side chambers arranged regularly, and the entrances are at several uncertain points in the rectangle. This is more troublesome, because if we find other ones later, At the entrance, there is no way to make further calculations.”

He narrowed his eyes and fanned away the dust caught by the flashlight beam with his hand: "But with Lin here, this is much simpler."

Lin and Carlos, who had expected it, were stunned. When Yu Xing really started to enter the analysis mode, they could feel how clear this young man's thinking was.

It was as if Yu Xing had listed the clues one by one, and the deeper clues hidden behind the surface appeared effortlessly, and the pace suddenly became much faster.

Of course, this is also the reason why neither Carlos nor Lin are the type who are good at reasoning. If it were someone who was known for reasoning, he could quickly think of these points and discuss them with Yu Xing.

Yu Xing also realized this. After he finished speaking, the other two fell silent. It was not fun at all.

Yu Xing wanted to deduce it with Zhao Mou. He wanted to see what a highly intelligent businessman like Zhao Mou could do in the new era, and whether he could find details that he couldn't find.

Sigh... I really want a teammate with high IQ, the kind who can let him paddle while lying down.

Yu Xing's mind wandered untimely for a while, until his sight was blocked by Yi Qing's translucent cyan figure.

"What are you thinking, these two kids are calling you?"

Yiqing leaned over and waved in front of him, interrupting his wandering.

Yu Xing came back to his senses, and heard Carlos's words in his ear: "...So it's not that we are stupid, but this guy is too perverted."

"..." Yu Xing looked back at Carlos, what did this kid just say?

Then he saw a little pride on Carlos's expression, and he was telling Linkop: "When I first saw San, I realized that he was very smart. At first, I wanted to tease him and let him guess my occupation, but he said directly I'm a magician."

Lin Ye chatted, and the two of them followed Yu Xing, as if they were chatting: "So you met here, and that's pretty good. You became friends after just one game."

Carlos smiled evilly: "That's right, it's fate."

But what I was thinking was - how could it be possible? You and I are not meant to be together, and it all depends on me.

Yu Xing listened for a while and found that although Carlos was bragging to a certain extent, he didn't say anything about the things involving the Deducer. The things mentioned were all vague and the difference between the Deducer and the Experiencer could not be seen. part.

They still don't know whether the relationship between the deducer and the experiencer is cooperative or hostile. Judging from the system's unwillingness to involve them too much during these few contacts, it is always right to be cautious.

Now Lin thought they were experiencers and they took the initiative. Carlos seemed to be chatting, but he was trying to get information.

Carlos is just like Yu Xing thought, he has many evil intentions, is not simple at all, and is very dangerous.

Yu Xing let them chat with peace of mind. Their voices were deliberately suppressed, but they still echoed in the empty tomb passage. This tomb passage was straight, and you could see a door with patterns carved at the end of the line of sight.

There were countless traps on the way to the door. Yu Xing let himself step on one and then became cautious, lest he stepped on the trap and implicated the two people behind him - they were almost only a few decimeters apart now, and no one could run away if something happened. The kind of distance that won't fall.

"Be careful, by the way, I have a question." After Yu Xing reminded him, he asked what he wanted to know most, "Does Lin's ability to read Feng Shui have any side effects?"

Zhao Ruru's previous small-scale divination didn't have much side effects, but the cooldown time after running out was a bit long, and it was difficult to combine attack and defense sacrifices. It seems that after gaining the ability to spy on the secrets of heaven and destiny, he will use it in other fields. suppressed.

Lin seems to be physically weak as well, weaker than the tomb robbers in this world, just like a frail college student.

"Of course." Lin was curious by many people. The fixed team he was in was attracted by his uniqueness, so they recruited him, who was not outstanding in all aspects, and helped him get the Buddha's Seal Umbrella. "When I saw If you shouldn’t look at it, it will be counterattacked. Your personal Feng Shui field is okay, and you generally won’t see anything too scary, but the scene Feng Shui calculation… is very risky.”

"For example, in this tomb palace, I will deliberately avoid the term "Gui Chenshu" when making calculations. Otherwise, if I accidentally see the appearance of "Gui Chenshu", I will encounter the same consequences as if I faced the ghost "Chenshu" directly."

"This is just a risk. I can't measure things very frequently, otherwise it will gradually transform into a corpse. My ability was inspired by the Taoist temple of an old Taoist priest who has been dead for hundreds of years." Lin said this This is all the information he disclosed among the experiencers, so it doesn't matter if he tells these two people, "This kind of ability is envied by many people, but I'm quite satisfied with it."

Just like a regular priest when playing games, although he has no self-protection ability, weak attack power, slow speed, low health and low defense, this profession is important enough and there are many people who will protect him.

As he spoke, Lin paused and moved his steps. He did not step on the spot he had just planned to step on. Instead, he avoided the trap and moved closer to Yu Xing: "Another thing is that my intuition is very good. Card. Los, when did you lose your camera?"
