Absurd deduction game

As soon as these words came out, Carlos, who was listening to Lin's explanation of Feng Shui's abilities, was stunned for a moment. He was about to say, "I wasn't wearing a camera in the first place," when Yu Xing turned around and looked at him with an inquiring and slightly cool look. Looking at him, he was suddenly startled.

wrong.

The covering feeling of being in a fog came again. Carlos stopped, held the microphone that was still there, and said, "Should I wear a camera?"

Yu Xing seemed to be smiling, but Lin had already consciously hid behind Yu Xing.

Yu Xing said: "What do you think?"

"Looking at your reactions, I came from another timeline." Carlos was very calm. He had all the conclusions just discussed in his mind. Perhaps as Yu Xing said, each timeline will affect each other, just like The bespectacled man had scars from other timelines on his body. Although the memory in his mind was smooth, it had obviously been affected.

"Looking at your reaction, you are still a human being after all." Yu Xing curled his lips, turned back to look at the door at the end of the road, and continued walking, "It's okay, keep walking."

It's just the transformation of living people in different timelines. It's not a major event worthy of attention. You must know that they have changed countless times before they realized this. Even Yu Xing himself unknowingly ignored himself and the original relationship. The equipment is different.

Lin was wary for a while, but gave up.

They should have the same goals in each timeline and everyone should be teammates. Only when they transform from humans to ghosts will there be conflicts of interest.

If you want to struggle with the question of who you are, whether the "me" of other timelines is "me" or not, then there is no need, let alone the idea of ​​being copied. If you want to adapt to this situation, there is a very Simple ideas can be referenced.

Just think of yourself in different timelines as yourself. The twenty-year-old self and the twenty-one-year-old self can't be said to be different people, right?

So even if Carlos is seen to have been replaced just now, it doesn't matter. This situation will happen many times in the future and it is not worth making a fuss about.

The three of them were a little more silent than before, because Yu Xing was exploring the way in front. Carlos was originally the one responsible for talking to Lin, but now Carlos was checking the details on himself and did not have the energy to initiate the conversation. He was indifferent. Lin will not take the initiative to chat.

They walked so quietly, the sound of overlapping footsteps echoed in the tomb passage.

Yu Xing saw that the door was getting closer and closer to them, and a strange feeling came to his heart, as if there was something behind the door that was attracting him.

In a blink of an eye, the sound of a mechanism suddenly sounded in his consciousness.

The source of the sound is behind you.

It was Lin who accidentally stepped on the trap. His intuition had just worked once, but it seemed to have failed immediately afterwards.

Lin didn't let go. His face was much paler than at first, and he seemed a little nervous: "I stepped on it, what will it be this time?"

Carlos glanced at him: "Not sure you can avoid it?"

Lin: "Nonsense, my mobility..."

Very poor.

He didn't even need to finish speaking, the other two people automatically added this sentence in their minds. Carlos touched his chin, his gray-blue hair was messy and covered his eyebrows, and he seemed to have something in mind.

Before Lin could ask again, he said, "Forget it, I'll do it for you."

"How to replace it?" Lin asked. The next moment, the scene in front of him changed. It had changed from the position where he stepped on the mechanism to Carlos's position. Carlos stepped on the mechanism with an extremely natural posture, just like he was stepping on it. He is the one in charge.

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, what is this? Magic, transforming a living person?

His eyesight was so good that he couldn't see Carlos's movements clearly. The whole process was like a magic being performed, and the audience could only see the results that the magician wanted them to see.

Yi Qing also applauded: "Human magic is indeed a high-end technology of visual deception. I like it very much."

Even though only Yu Xing could hear his words, the Qinggui still decided to express his love for magic, and the unwelcome look on Carlos's eyes was relieved.

"You two, step back." Carlos greeted, and both Lin and Yu Xing stepped back nearly two meters.

Carlos then raised his feet. Suddenly, the ground trembled. His feet were empty, and he felt a falling feeling. He fell into the sudden black pit!

Not only that, there are rows of cold bronze spikes lined up in the pit. If you fall down, you will definitely be skewered into human flesh.

Carlos moved his hand and grabbed the edge of the pit. He used a few fingers to stop his falling. Due to the excessive load, his knuckles made a sound of bones, and his legs were dangerously close to the bronze spikes. It passed by and landed on the wall inlaid with more hidden spikes.

Fortunately, the place where he stepped was the only stone that was intact and free of traps. Probably the original craftsmen were afraid of accidental injury and left a way for themselves to survive. This also gave Carlos an advantage.

"It's a good chance." It was clear that everything was fine, but Carlos showed an expression of rejoicing that he had survived the disaster. Unfortunately, neither Yu Xing nor Lin had the intention to comfort him.

Carlos curled his lips and deliberately said to provoke others: "You are really heartless people."

As he spoke, he turned over and landed very nimbly, resolving the crisis intact.

Yu Xing ignored him, but he could feel that after this incident, Lin seemed to trust the two of them more.

The three of them were more careful. This time they finally did not step on any traps and reached the end of the tomb passage safely.

This is a thick stone door. The construction technology is undoubtedly rough in the eyes of today's people. The stone door is full of bumps and gaps left by the erosion of time. The patterns are blurred and the lines are thick.

But one thousand two hundred years ago, such craftsmanship would only show the strong financial resources and high status of the tomb owner. Even if the demon was wanted by the princes, it would still not change the fact that she was rich and had many followers.

"These seem to be several paintings." Carlos said.

Just like the end of the gatekeeper's coffin, the stone door is cut by lines and divided into a dozen grids, with an independent scene carved in each grid.

When it comes to painting, this is the scope of painter San's knowledge. Yu Xing stared at the stone door for a long time, and then said: "The order of the paintings is wrong. The sculptor seemed to have deliberately messed up the order. Only by piecing together the real story, Only those who come late can open this door.”

Yes, in Yu Xing's eyes, the current painting on the stone gate has a chaotic narrative structure and several obvious flaws.

For example, the first painting depicts a battlefield, like a battle where princes competed for hegemony in the past, but later on, there are people dressed exactly like the soldiers on the battlefield, raising pigs at home, and participating in the uprising because of famine. .

He calmed down, went through the paintings in his mind again, and pieced together the most reasonable timeline.

The first painting should be the one in the center of the right half of the stone gate. In a small village, a woman is knitting her wedding dress with a smile on her face. Her husband is standing outside the house, holding a rabbit, watching quietly Holding her.

The second picture should be about locusts falling from the sky, drought, and famine spreading. In such a chaotic world, the woman still married the husband.

The third picture is what Yu Xing just noticed. After getting married, the husband raised pigs and the woman weaved cloth. However, the fruits of their hard work were robbed by the officers and soldiers, and they could not even afford meat that was less affected by locusts.

Farmers everywhere could not bear such exploitation and revolted one after another, including the woman's husband. In this way, wars broke out everywhere.

...The following scene tells a very painful story for women.

The war raged for several years, the chaos subsided, and the situation was almost settled. The princes in various places separated themselves and proclaimed themselves kings.

Lang Jun became a minor prince and returned to the village to pick up the woman and go to his new home. The woman and Lang Jun were assassinated on the way out. In order to protect the woman, after all the attendants died, Lang Jun protected the woman to the station alone, but he was seriously injured and died.

The woman was heartbroken, but she knew that the monarch was dead and the small country could not last long, so she quietly escaped. As expected, within a month, other countries attacked, and the power left by Lang Jun was easily destroyed.

The woman fled into the mountains with the intention of dying. She would rather die in the mountains than face the possibility of human swords, guns and sticks, and even more humiliation. But just then, she found a tree.

During the war years, many people died. This unnamed tree was watered by the blood of the people who died in the mountain, and it bore fruit with human heads. The woman was frightened at first, thinking it was a monster, so she took another path.

But before he had taken a few steps, the pursuers were already behind him. The pursuers did terrible atrocities to the woman. The strange thing was that the pursuers did not seem to see the strange little tree. The woman was defiled and killed in front of the tree. , the resentful head was chopped off, while the pursuers laughed.

After nightfall, or perhaps many days and months later, the woman came back to life.

The woman's remnant body was absorbed by the small tree. Then, her head grew up on the tree, and her body slowly grew out. When every part was complete, the woman pulled herself off the branch.

At this time, in the stone door painting, the image of the woman already looked like a crazy evil ghost, with disheveled hair and a ferocious face. She seemed to already know the ability of the small tree. She dug up the trunk, took away the middle wood core, and brought the He left the mountain with the wooden core and returned to the world.

After resurrection, she was extremely powerful, charming and seductive. The woman first seduced the leader of the great country who destroyed her husband and defiled her body, killed him, exposed his body on the battlefield for three days and three nights, and finally beheaded him.

It wasn't over yet. After tasting the pleasure of killing, the woman couldn't stop. She killed one soldier after another, and finally couldn't help but start killing civilians. Only those who "believed" in her could survive.

She became a demon that everyone feared, but she had a group of followers. Her wooden core, which never left her body, was noticed by others, and some people tried to snatch it away, but she killed them all with the most cruel and cruel means.

The content on the stone door ends here. A large part of it was added by Yu Xing himself based on the carving content. He relayed the story to Carlos and Lin, who were slightly surprised when they heard it.

"I checked the world's information about the Demon Dao. All the historical facts only recorded the emergence of the Demon Dao and its numerous atrocities, but there was no mention of how the Demon Dao was formed." Lin looked at the mural and frowned, " This door looks more believable than historical reality.”

This is because it neither displays the atrocities committed by Demon Dao and denounces them in full, nor does it seem to defend Demon Dao and beautify her behavior.

Quite fair and impartial.

"It's another case of the victim eventually becoming the perpetrator." Carlos thought for a while, "If what is recorded on the stone gate is true, then the moment the demon grows from the ghost tree, it is no longer a human being. Alright."

Others are absorbed as nutrients after death and can only hang their heads on trees. Why is the demon so special that it still has the opportunity to grow a body and move around again?

In other words, why was she chosen by Gui Chenshu?

Could it be because... she died in front of the tree with strong resentment and despair, so Gui Chenshu, who was still a seedling at that time, had some identification with the demon path?

No one can confirm this now. After digesting the new clues, the three people in front of the door have more doubts in their hearts.

For example, the demonic path broke out the wooden core, and how did the wooden core later turn into a ghost tree and was planted in the demonic path's tomb? Another example is that every time the demonic path is resurrected, is it because of the power of the wooden core or because of her? Growing out of the Ghostly Sinking Tree, it already has the ability to resurrect itself.

If these questions can be resolved, it means they are not far from the whole truth.

Yu Xing's fingers touched the lines of the stone door and stopped on the picture of a woman weaving a wedding dress. Suddenly, with a strong force, he pressed down the entire cut grid.

The grid sunk downwards by a full decimeter and did not bounce up again.

"Sure enough, if we press it once in the correct order, the stone door will open." Carlos thought of it when he heard Yu Xing say that the order of the pictures was messed up, but he knew that he did not need to remind him, Yu Xing must have already thought about how to do it. Do.

Yu Xing pressed two in order. Seeing that he was relaxed, Lin was eager to try: "I want to try too."

He is weak, so it would be nice for him to do something that does not require high physical fitness, and he can also show his residual value.

Yu Xing paused, looked at him subtly, and then nodded: "You try."

Lin felt a little uncomfortable with his gaze and pressed it suspiciously.

The stones didn't move.

Lin pressed again.

Pressed a loneliness.

Forest:"……"

It's because he doesn't deserve it. He didn't expect this thing to be so difficult to press! How strong is San?

Yu Xing was a little funny. The painting said that after the demon was reborn from the ghost tree, he became extremely powerful, so the stone gate grid was also made to be very difficult to shake. Perhaps it was based on the demon's strength.

Fortunately for him, he was also powerful under the transformation of the curse, but how could a weakling like Lin succeed? Even Carlos would probably have to put in a lot of effort to press one or two of them.

Lin retreated depressedly and watched as Yu Xing pressed the grid easily. The stone door made a muffled sound and opened automatically.

A deeper darkness spread out in front of them, like a devouring black hole, luring outsiders into the abyss.

"I don't feel very good inside." Goosebumps appeared on Carlos' arms.

I'll finish the Tomb Palace this month... I want a monthly ticket. It's so miserable.
