Absurd deduction game

It was probably the conversation between the two that woke up Ye Ming. Ye Ming suddenly opened his eyes and looked at them blankly.

"Brother...?"

Ye Ming didn't look right, and Ye Ting couldn't help but call him cautiously.

Yu Xing also echoed: "Brother, are you awake?"

Ye Ming didn't answer Ye Ting and Yu Xing's questions at all. His eyesight quickly returned to clarity, and he sat up with his elbows on the sofa.

He didn't seem to feel any discomfort and stood up: "I'm fine."

Then walked to the toilet.

Ye Ting: "..."

My sister seemed to find it a little strange. She could only turn around and ask Yu Xing: "Second brother, what's wrong with eldest brother..."

Yu Xing smiled lightly. Ye Ming's appearance must be related to the black cloth last night. After lifting the black cloth, Ye Ming appeared on the sofa the next morning, and the black cloth was gone.

Could it be that Ye Ming saw himself last night? But normal Ye Ming would never be so calm if he saw himself.

Forget it, he doesn't know yet. This deduction world has been weird from the beginning.

He replied: "Maybe I was sleepwalking because of the stress in my senior year of high school."

"...I'm going to buy some vegetables for my eldest brother to calm down today." Ye Ting couldn't say much. She was always at home and really didn't understand the study pressure of her eldest brother and second brother.

Ye Ting just came down to pack some things and clean up - this is what she usually does. Mild exercise is good for her health. After she usually packs up, she will wash up and change into clothes on the second floor. Wear clothes for going out and go shopping for groceries.

Yu Xing warned: "Buy less today and just buy vegetables. I will make potato and beef stew for lunch."

"Okay." Ye Ting agreed and started cleaning the hall.

Yu Xing also returned to the second floor, got dressed, and planned to go out.

He was going to see if there was any problem with the cable. The power was out for a long time yesterday, but when he went downstairs in the middle of the night, the refrigerator was still powered on.

But just like when he encountered Ye Ming's body in the bathroom, Yu Xing failed to react immediately. Just like when he encountered a supernatural appearance, his mind would automatically block out some small details that were not in his main focus.

This should be the characteristic of this deduction.

Against the morning breeze, Yu Xing took the key and went out. Following the flowers and plants planted around the house, he walked towards the telephone pole that required two small turns.

At least when he looked up at the house, he didn't see any obvious break in any of the wires on the telephone pole.

When he went out, his eldest brother Ye Ming had already returned upstairs and said that he had not slept well and had to go upstairs to catch up on his sleep.

Neither Yu Xing nor Ye Ting asked any questions. Now, Yu Xing narrowed his eyes slightly and came to the place where Ye Ming arrived last night.

There were still a lot of water stains on the ground, which were wet and stuck to the soles of the shoes, reflecting Yu Xing's unclear figure. Yu Xing silently looked at the cables, which were empty in the small open space separated by them.

The cables seen from this position are more clear. Every wire is neatly arranged, and no one falls off.

So, what he saw last night...

Yu Xing lowered his head, looking thoughtful.

When he came here and got his bearings clear, he was even more certain that the thing falling out of the window with sparks yesterday was the cable.

It's just that the cable broke yesterday, causing a power outage, and it healed itself without any repairman to fix it.

This means that the electrical appliances in your home can now be used normally. But... Yu Xing thought, when Ye Ming went out to check yesterday, was the cable good or bad?

For Ye Ming, what kind of mental state is he in? Is it the disguise of a ghost, the separation of the inner and outer worlds, or is it that even oneself does not know what he is in the curse?

Yu Xing returned home with some doubts.

Ye Ting had just finished cleaning and washing. She was wearing a light pink printed dress and carrying a small basket to go out.

Yu Xing asked her to pay attention to her safety and walked up to the second floor. It was still early. If he guessed correctly, he and Ye Ming usually bought breakfast on the road during school days. On rest days, they might sleep a little later and wait for Ye Ming. Ting bought the vegetables and brought them breakfast.

As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, Yu Xing was unprepared to hear a shrill female scream.

He cheered up and looked towards the place where the sound came from. It was Ye Ming's room. Ye Ming didn't close the door tightly, and walked in. In addition to the woman's scream, he could also hear some tight and gentle sounds. Weird music and unreal running sounds.

This combined sound was not unfamiliar to Yu Xing, and he raised his eyebrows slightly - a game?

Ye Ming is playing games in his room?

He walked softly and quietly walked to the crack of Ye Ming's door to look inside.

He hadn't thought that as soon as his eyes came up, he would make eye contact with Ye Ming, who was also looking out from the room. So even if he was preparing to eavesdrop, he kept his body straight, planning to say that he was just curious if he was discovered. So I wanted to take a quick look.

Fortunately, when he glanced through the crack in the door, he only saw Ye Ming lying on the bed, sitting upright, holding the red PSP game console he had seen in Ye Ting's room. Weird sounds were coming from the game console. The fluorescent light from the screen shone on Ye Ming's thin face. Ye Ming was so focused that he didn't notice his peeping at all.

What time is it? Didn’t Ye Ming just say he wanted to catch up on some sleep, so he took Ye Ting’s game console to play?

Yu Xing stared at the game console and listened to the sound. Ye Ming was playing the horror game that Ye Ting was talking about. At this moment, a male voice came from the game console. With the dull sound of a knife being struck, that voice There was a scream, followed by the woman's dark smile.

Ye Ming scratched his hair irritably: "Why did he die again?"

Having said that, he still chose to start over and entered the game again.

Yu Xing became curious about that game.

What secrets are hidden in the game that makes Ye Ming, a "nerd in the senior year of high school", give up studying and sleeping?

Moreover, Ye Ming's behavior was not quite right after he got up from the sofa this morning. Could it be that the black cloth symbolizes something related to the game?

He couldn't find the answer to this question quickly.

Not too long later, Ye Ting came back. At noon, the three members of the family ate the potato stewed beef made by Yu Xing and several other side dishes. Ye Ting was very happy and satisfied, but Ye Ming was a little Absently, after he had eaten, he hurriedly washed the dishes and said he was going upstairs to review.

Not long after, Yu Xing went up to take a look, and vaguely heard the sound of the horror game again. Although the door of Ye Ming's room had been closed this time, it was undeniable that the sound of the game was still coming from this room.

Strange, it seems that Ye Ming is suddenly completely addicted to games.

What's even stranger is that from that day on, Yu Xing didn't encounter any supernatural events for a week.

After the two rest days passed, he went to school step by step, finished school, and went home to cook.

It’s just that when I get home every day, I will find that the day’s homework has been written, and he doesn’t need to write the school’s quizzes at all. Basically, once the paper is turned over, the answer sheet is covered, and when it’s time to collect the paper, the answers will be filled in on it. Every time, it just fits the performance of the character Ye Qin.

The previous monthly exam results have also come out. Not surprisingly, Ye Qin is in the top ten of his grade. This makes the school teachers more tolerant of Yu Xing being distracted and sleeping in class.

As for the feeling of depression and discomfort that occurs in school, he is probably used to it. Yu Xing no longer has such a clear reaction, but he also knows that this is exactly a dangerous signal. He seems to be doing something seemingly harmless. Slowly being assimilated in daily life.

Yu Xing had no intention of making friends with irrelevant people in the school. He only kept in touch with Yu Wan. Basically, he would chat with Yu Wan every day. During this period, he gained a more comprehensive understanding of the world view of "this world".

Once the understanding became more in-depth, many things that were wrong emerged. Yu Xing discovered that this world really has taboos about ghosts, souls and the like. Not only the three points mentioned by Wan, but also the heads of relatives. Seven will return to the soul, family members must sleep under the bed; when you meet someone calling your name on the road, you must not look back; when walking under a street lamp and someone taps your shoulder, look at the shadow under the street lamp first. If there is only your own shadow, you must Run forward immediately. While running, if you see a single pedestrian in front of you, be sure not to look at the other person's face.

There are many similar meticulous and weird customs, but when Yu Xing wants to study the origin of these customs in detail. But I found that there was no relevant history for these things. It was as if they appeared out of thin air and were imprinted on many people's minds, becoming a convention from then on.

Not only that, when Yu Xing wanted to figure out the exact age here, he would always find that he was blocked by different things. He looked through Ye Qin's history book, which contained ancient history, modern Chinese history, and the content of the 21st century in reality. There is no difference, but there is no mention of the current era.

Yu Xing noticed that the time here was a bit confusing. Sometimes it rained, and it was obviously light rain. After a class, he could find that the school ground was full of water stains - the time in the general environment was correct, but in some details , it was wrong at first glance.

This week, the family has not been particularly peaceful. Ye Ting discovered that Ye Ming secretly used her game console to play. As a younger sister, Ye Ting didn't think it was anything. But like Yu Xing, she also discovered that Ye Ming I am addicted to games, and even talk about going to review every day, and play games when I go back to my room. It seems that my whole person has changed.

Ye Ting is an independent girl. Unlike other sisters, she listens to her brothers on everything. She is also the one who calls the shots. Now seeing Ye Ming being so careless about her job, Ye Ting is also very angry. Occasionally she The quarrel with Ye Ming told him to calm down in his senior year of high school and to study hard in order to get into a good university.

Ye Ming became more and more passively resistant. He would not quarrel too seriously with his sister because her sister was in poor health. He gave in to his sister in every detail of life, and this has not changed.

But every time when Yu Xing and Ye Ting were not paying attention, the game console would be in Ye Ming's hands again.

It’s another Monday.

After Yu Xing finished his class for the day, he was about to leave in Ye Ming's car. Yu Man stopped him and mysteriously dragged him to a corner.

She was still wearing her school uniform and skirt, but whether it was Yu Xing's illusion, this school uniform seemed much older than when he first saw Yu Wan, as if she had worn it for several years.

Yu Xing didn't realize this. She didn't look good today. She pulled Yu Xing over and lowered her voice: "Hey, has something happened to your family recently? Your brother hasn't been here for several days..."

Yu Xing was stunned.

He asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, your brother hasn't been here for several days!" Yu Wan felt that he was stunned and said anxiously, "I haven't seen your brother for several days, and I happened to know someone in your brother's class, so I went to ask After talking, they said that your brother has taken leave and doesn’t know when he will go back to class. Ye Qin, what happened to brother Ye Ming?"

She seemed to have thought of something else, frowning tightly: "It can't be what I told you three weeks ago... He was targeted by a ghost, right?"

"No, wait a minute, tell me one by one." Yu Xing interrupted her and rubbed her temples, "You said that my brother didn't come to school, and his classmates also said that he asked for leave, but I ride in his car to and from school every day. Yes, and every day after school, he is later than me. I wait for him at the school gate and watch him come out of school with my own eyes."

"He didn't ask for leave and went to school every day."

What's more, he has been paying attention to Ye Ming, who is "addicted to games" these days. Occasionally, he would go to the door of Ye Ming's class to take a look after class. Ye Ming lay on the table to catch up on his sleep after class. How could he not come to school?

Also... Yu Xing suddenly noticed that Yu Wan was talking about three weeks ago.

Regarding the fact that Ye Ming might be haunted by ghosts, it obviously happened a week ago, and Yu Wan also gave the reminder on Friday a week ago.

Time sped up without him knowing it?

He felt that the world this time was really weird. He didn't feel any sense of disconnection or disconnection at all. Every day was connected to the previous day, but one week turned into three weeks, and he still had no impression.

Hearing what he said, Yu Wan was also stunned.

"But...but...your brother is really..."

"If you don't believe it." Yu Xing suppressed his doubts about the time and took her wrist. "My brother hasn't finished school yet. Let's go to his classroom to watch now."

"Okay!" Yu Wan also didn't believe in evil and allowed Yu Xing to pull her to confirm.

This school's practice for senior high school students is that since the school does not provide dormitories, it does not force self-study at night. The last class has to be delayed for twenty minutes. In addition to the week after the exam just last month, classes are also held on weekends.

When Yu Xing and Yu Xing came to the entrance of the senior high school, the teacher on the podium was passionately talking about "Move P". Yu Xing saw at a glance that Ye Ming, who was in the front position, was taking notes.

Ye Ming's skin has become very serious due to staying up late playing games, and he doesn't seem to be in very good spirits.

Yu Wan followed Yu Xing's eyes, and astonishment flashed in his eyes: "How is that possible?"

"Where is that classmate who told you that my brother didn't go to school?" Yu Xing asked.

Yu Wan looked at her for a long time and took a breath: "Gone. I clearly remember that she was in your brother's class, and her tone was very natural when she mentioned your brother."

Yu Xing whispered: "Is that so..."

Yu Wan was restless. She first pulled Yu Xing back to a position far away from the senior year classroom, so as not to disturb the senior year and attract other people's attention. Then she grabbed her fluffy and soft short hair and said distressedly: "This is not right, this is absolutely wrong."

She turned around in a circle anxiously, and then asked Yu Xing: "Do you know that feeling when you suddenly forget something and can't remember it? It's so uncomfortable. Although I haven't forgotten anything, I feel almost the same, because there is nothing I can do about it. Explanation! It’s like the thing in physics... particle observation... When someone observes this particle, it moves along a trajectory, but when no one observes it, it jumps in a flash or something. I can’t remember where I saw it. .”

"Hey, don't think of me as a lunatic. It's true. There is definitely something wrong with your family. I always feel that your hall has been dark these days." It was obvious that Yu Wan was going crazy.

Yu Xing suddenly asked: "How many days have we been together? Haven't you not seen my brother in the past few days? You haven't been to my house either, so you probably haven't seen my sister. When you say 'we', who else is there besides me?" "

Yu Wan paused.

She seemed to have just reacted, suddenly silent, and then turned her head little by little to look at Yu Xing.

"Without you, only you."

Yu Wan's gaze suddenly became a little scary, her expression calmed down, and she repeated: "Only you."

Yu Xing: "..." Isn't every key character here so weird?

Before Yu Xing could think about how to solve the anomaly in front of Yu Wan, Yu Wan got out of that state on his own and cried a little strangely: "I am not the one who is not possessed by evil spirits. I am the one who is haunted by ghosts." That makes you insane?"

"I don't think so." Yu Xing's heart moved. Although Yu Wan is not normal, it seems that she is a friend most of the time. Perhaps, she can mention more things to Yu Wan so that she can interfere in the plot and be exposed. More clues.

"There is indeed something wrong in our family recently. My brother...recently likes to play a horror game." He pointed out Ye Ming's performance to Yu Wan, "Moreover, he seems to have been dying in the game. I haven’t cleared it yet.”

Yu Wan's eyes widened: "Horror game...I know! Is there a real ghost hiding in the game that confuses Brother Ye Ming! This is terrible. If you keep dying in the game, will...? It won’t reach a certain level and you will really die.”

It has to be said that Yu Xing's reaction and imagination are definitely that of a fanatical believer in supernatural phenomena. She is the kind of person who fears and loves at the same time. She can easily throw the beans on Yu Xing by telling others lines that would be regarded as a lunatic. He said he didn't care about science at all.

But I have to admit that what she said was also what Yu Xing had guessed.

If it were in reality, Yu Wan would be very suitable to be a deducer, because her thinking mode is instinctively biased towards the unnatural field.

"That's right! Brother Ye Ming has never been addicted to games. Unless there is a special reason, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he will definitely get into trouble, and then there will be you, Xiaoting, and maybe me." Yu Wan put on his bracelets. Chest, "I know a little more than you, so let's do it. I'm going to prepare. Tomorrow night, we will go to your house to exorcise ghosts!"

"Are you sure you are talking about exorcising ghosts..." Yu Xing looked at Yu Wan suspiciously and said seriously, "I admit that our family is in a very strange state now. Maybe it is really because of something special. Because So, this matter is very dangerous, so don’t get involved.”

He became serious: "Don't think that you will be fine if you know more. If you really encounter a ghost, you and I are no different, so this matter-"

"Impossible!" Yu Wan suddenly raised his voice.

Then she remembered that this was a school and lowered her tone again: "Ye Qin... don't underestimate me too much."

For some reason, Yu Xing originally just wanted to put on a show, but at this time his emotions really came up: "I'm not looking down on you, I'm worried that if something happens, you will also be in danger..."

"I know." Yu Wan lowered his eyes, something seemed to be brewing in his pupils, and then he became firm, "But Brother Ye Ming is already like this. If he is you after that, you will become strange, and even be killed by ghosts... I won’t be able to accept it.”

"Ye Qin, let me go to your house and have a look. If anything happens, we can do it together, okay?"

Yu Xing was a little surprised.

This passage sounds like Yu Wan's confession.

And the words he just said are also the emotions that originally existed in this body - the emotions that belong to the real Ye Qin.

Until just now, he had thought that Ye Qin had a secret crush on Yu Wan. Knowing that Yu Wan didn't like boring people, Ye Qin didn't express his feelings for fear of being rejected.

But now it seems that Yu Wen usually hides it very well, but now she has still exposed the fact that she also likes Ye Qin.

Childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts may be the easiest relationship to break the window paper, but also the most difficult relationship to face sincerely.

Both of them hide their feelings for each other, and they usually get along like good "buddies", but it's only now that they show it. This is really...

Yu Xing was keenly aware that the relationship between the two people probably played a large role in the truth of the entire incident.

Now, after a "week" of silence, the plot is finally about to pick up again.

He finally nodded: "Okay, then you come tomorrow night. Do you need me to prepare anything?"

"Hmm... I need you to help me get the game console when the time comes. I'll try it on the game console with some ghost exorcism tools." Yu Wen thought about it for a while and said.

Want a game console?

Yu Xing was wary for a moment, then relaxed.

So what if everything Yu Wan did was to get that game console? Whether he would cooperate or not depends on his ability on the spot.

They didn't discuss it for a few words here, and the senior year of high school was over.

After Ye Ming left the classroom, he walked directly towards their location as if he had seen them a long time ago.

Yu Wan got into the car again today, but the atmosphere in the car was dull today, and no one said much.

After Yu Xing got home, he finished what he had to do as usual, and then started "reviewing". According to his personality, he should study until after eleven o'clock every day, and Ye Ting would bring him some after eleven o'clock. fruit and told him to go to bed early.

It was almost the same today. When the time came, Ye Ting came in wearing a nightgown. She seemed to be in a good mood and said to Yu Xing: "Second brother, I hid the game console today, but the eldest brother didn't find it."

"He seemed anxious, but he still didn't have the nerve to look in my room."

"I seem to be studying in my room now."
