Absurd deduction game

Alice's figure of more than two meters moved towards Guixin with full pressure. Guixin looked surprised for a moment and hid behind Heng very naturally.

The word "move" is used because there seemed to be pulleys on the soles of Alice's shoes. She didn't even bend her legs, and she moved forward while maintaining a standing posture.

"I am Alice, your best friend, not an object." Alice's voice also had a certain mechanical feel, hollow and stiff, looking down at the couple condescendingly.

Heng looked helpless and protected his girlfriend who got into trouble behind him: "I'm sorry Alice, she didn't mean it."

To be honest, in addition to the oppressive force of height, Alice also gives people a unique fear.

This should be called...the uncanny valley effect.

Heng faced her, always feeling uncomfortable everywhere.

"I'm sorry, Alice, um, Alice is the prettiest." Guixin didn't feel self-conscious at all, and apologized with a playful smile.

"Huh, play well with Alice." Alice blinked her scarlet eyes, then panned back to the starting position, patted the hem of her skirt, and a small gem was knocked off her skirt by her metal fingers. , she didn’t realize it, “Here are the rules of the game.”

At the same time as her voice sounded, the deduction system also gave clearer rules in the minds of the deducers.

[The deceased only knows his own identity. The winning condition is "not killed by the murderer". At the end of the game, no more than three of the remaining five people know the identity of the deceased (including the player who died midway). 】

[The murderer, knowing his and the identity of the detective, can kill the detective. The winning condition is "find the deceased and kill the deceased again". The murderer who kills the detective will directly obtain the deceased's information. At the end of the game, no more than two of the remaining five people can know the murderer's identity (including the player who died midway). 】

[Detective, knows the identity of himself and the deceased, the winning condition is to "find the murderer", and he needs to obtain more than five clues. 】

[The suspect only knows his own identity. The winning condition is to "confirm the identity of any two of the murderer, the deceased, and the detective", and he needs to obtain more than four clues. 】

Yu Xing rubbed his temples and did not comment on the rules for the time being. Instead, he listened to Alice's voice and memorized every word she said.

"There are twelve amusement projects in my paradise, which are now provided to you for free. After completing a project, you will get a random clue pointing to the deceased, the murderer or the detective. You cannot take the initiative to tell others your identity." The corners of Alice's mouth rose. , turned around in a circle, "The game time is four hours, and the minimum number of people available for all rides is two. I hope you and your companions have a good time~"

After saying that, without waiting for others to react, she bowed again, moved backwards, disappeared into the tower, and the door slammed shut.

At the same time, the clock started turning again, ticking, ticking, making a rhythmic sound.

"That is to say, within four hours, people with different identities have to complete their tasks." Wang Jue touched his chin and sighed, "Okay, okay, this time is not the supernatural deduction that I am most afraid of. I think it's okay." Okay. By the way, among you..."

He deliberately glanced around slowly: "One of them is a murderer."

"What's going on?" Yu Xing scratched his head in confusion, his expression confused, "Well, what happened in reality?"

Wang Jue was the only one present who seemed to have an understanding of the real-life murder. But if Wang Jue was not the murderer, then there must be someone present who had been to the crime scene but was pretending not to be.

There is no way to verify this matter now. In order to reduce his suspicion, he must act as he can.

Zhao Yijiu glanced at him but said nothing.

No matter what kind of character Yu Xing used to deceive people in the deduction, Zhao Yijiu was not surprised. Moreover, he was inexplicably looking forward to seeing others being deceived - anyway, he knew Yu Xing's true face, so he deserved it.

"My name is Wang Jue, absolutely Jue, and I am a student of Ruibo. Isn't it our school anniversary today? I heard that someone died. I didn't squeeze in when I followed the crowd to see it, so I don't know much." Wang Jue recalled it for a moment, and then recounted his morning experience.

From a complete passerby's perspective, Yu Xing heard that there was no big problem. When he saw Wang Jue, Wang Jue was doing a bartending performance, which was consistent with what he said.

"However, I know that I am not the murderer, so some of you must have been at the scene at that time. So, while everyone is here, why don't you introduce yourself and talk about what you did in the morning?" Wang Jue's suspicious eyes were not concealed at all. The earth falls on everyone.

"Okay, okay, my boyfriend and I were shopping just now, and suddenly there was a message that a game appeared. Anyway, we were bored, so we came in together." Guixin blew his bangs, "My name is Chen Jiu, and this is It’s my boyfriend Ling Heng. We got up at about eight o’clock and then went out on the street. What about you?”

"My name is Xie Ze, as you can see..." The man in a suit with a mask of Ze pointed to his elegant dress, "I am making preparations for a business reception, but the preparations for the reception have been going on for nearly a week. Today It was just the finishing touches in the morning and I agreed to enter the game.”

"Do you need to wear such formal clothes for finishing work?" Ling Heng, who had been silent until now, asked a sharp question with a smile.

Xie Ze explained: "The company is too busy with business, and I'm afraid I won't have time to change clothes in the middle."

"That's it." Ling Heng was noncommittal, and his expression made Xie Ze frown.

"Zhao Yijiu, I was at home when the game invited people." Comrade Zhao Yijiu, a refrigerator, returned to his state of not talking much. After speaking, he pursed his lips, as if he didn't want to speak anymore.

"I'll prove it! My name is Yu Xing, and I was at his house at the time." Yu Xing shamelessly pulled Zhao Yijiu into perjuring himself. He also added seriously, "I just joined the company as an intern, and I don't have the work report." Yes, let senior teach me, we happen to live close to each other, and today is the afternoon shift, so I went to senior’s house in the morning."

Zhao Yijiu: "..."

As expected of a drama queen, the background story really doesn’t need to be thought about, it comes at your fingertips.

But what was this guy doing in the morning to tell such a lie and use me as a shield?

Realizing this, Zhao Yijiu said coldly: "You are too stupid to teach me, so you should resign as soon as possible."

Yu Xing was shocked, and his narrow phoenix eyes widened: "Ah~ Senior, you can't bully the interns just because you are good at computers! You see, neither of us knew that each other was a deduction before, so if you are mean, I won't care. Okay, now that we know it, we can be considered colleagues in another sense from now on, can you be more enthusiastic?"

"cannot."

Seeing Yu Xing's aggrieved look, Chen Jiu laughed out loud: "You guys are so interesting. What company has such good-looking employees? I want to go too."

Zhao Yijiu glanced at her.

This girl looks silly and sweet, as cheerful as a fool, but her questions are as sharp as her boyfriend's.

He spoke concisely and to the point: "Yufeng Media."

Yufeng Media is a well-known company in Mijin City. Due to the nature of the work, it does have certain requirements for the appearance of its employees.

At this time, Chen Jiu shrugged: "Wow, your company's recruitment requirements are very high. I'm a waste. I don't deserve to be in."

After the words fell, no one started talking again.

Because the six people briefly talked about their movements and none of them stayed in Ruibo except Wang Jue, there were only two possibilities.

The first type is that someone is lying. Except for Xie Ze, the remaining four people can provide evidence in pairs. In other words, if someone lies, most of them may have colluded with each other. This is more difficult to handle than if one person lies.

The second is that Ruibo's case did not happen in the morning, but happened earlier. It was only at the beginning of the school anniversary today that someone happened to push open the door of the sports equipment room, and then the deceased was discovered. In this case, even if no one is lying, no one can be suspected.

After another moment of silence, Zhao Yijiu turned to Yu Xing and said, "It's a waste of time, let's go."

The game lasts four hours. In addition to getting different numbers of clues, people with different identities also have to consider how to complete the reasoning task.

The murderer, the deceased, and the detective all have to consider how to kill without being noticed and how to protect themselves.

Time is still quite tight.

Since Zhao Yijiu showed that he didn't want everyone to act together, Yu Xing good-naturedly made an apologetic gesture to the others and left with him.

The remaining four people thought about it and realized that there was really no need to go with strangers from the beginning. They didn’t know what kind of dangers there were in the rides. What if they tripped and were in danger?

You can only go with people you trust first, and after getting some clues, gradually narrow down the target range and contact others.

The young couple, one with a playful smile and the other with a calm and casual expression, left the two male singles behind and walked towards the Ferris wheel.

…

Yu Xing checked the direction and followed Zhao Yijiu past the children's playground and haunted house, heading towards the jumping machine.

"Is it so exciting to play right from the get-go?" Yu Xing sighed as he watched Zhao Yijiu walk to the ticket office without hesitation.

"Are you afraid of heights?"

"no."

"That's good." Zhao Yijiu walked to the sign at the unmanned ticket office, "I have a hunch that projects that are dangerous when exposed to the field of vision are better than facilities such as the Haunted Objective Lens House Carousel."

He looked at the instructions on the sign.

[This project can be opened with a minimum of two people and a maximum of four people. Visitors with a weak heart are asked to voluntarily switch to other projects to experience. 】

"Where's the heart?"

It took Yu Xing a second to react before he realized that Zhao Yijiu was asking how his heart was, not asking for his heart. He glanced at the sign and immediately understood: "The heart is very good."

They pushed aside the white rear metal fence and looked towards the main body of the jumping machine.

The jumping machine should be taller than the central tower of Alice Square, and is the only tallest facility after the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel.

The surface of the cylinder is full of pits and pits, creating the feeling of a primitive giant tree. Countless eyes of different sizes are embedded in the twisted and coiled branches. The eyeballs rotate flexibly in the whites of the eyes. Patients with trypophobia should die suddenly on the spot.

The seats on the outside are also in the style of tree branches. The seat belts are long and elastic to the touch. Yu Xing thinks they should be chewy.

Licking his lips, he sat peacefully next to Zhao Yijiao.

"By the way, where were you this morning?"

After sitting in his seat and fastening his seat belt, Zhao Yijiu suddenly remembered and asked.

Yu Xing checked the U-shaped handrails used to secure tourists and said matter-of-factly: "Ruibo University."

Zhao Yijiu:?

Can you say that again?
