Absurd deduction game

Late at night, rats swarmed all the way through the dormitory building, leaving frightening sounds in their eardrums wherever they passed.

There are so many mammals on land, many of them in groups, but humans are so afraid of rats. Not only is rats good at relying on humans, but the sound of them is also a big reason.

Human beings seem to be born with a fear of rat noises.

The female dormitory manager opened the door to the deducers' dormitory just like last night, and still stayed quietly in front of everyone's bed for a while, without gaining anything, and finally left the dormitory.

When the lights were turned off, the entire dormitory building was dark. After the female dormitory went downstairs after checking the dormitory, Yu Xing sat up and yawned, just in time to hear the sound of the door opening in the corridor outside.

"Is there anyone out in the dormitory opposite?" He raised his eyebrows with slight interest.

After the words fell, a reply came out immediately in the darkness. Zhao Mou got out of bed and said: "Actually, it happened before, because the toilet is outside. If you can't hold it in anymore, there will always be some shameless decisions to go to the toilet to solve it. ."

"Indeed, I wanted to lose face, and I also chose to go out to the bathroom." Wen Qinghuai chuckled, "But after thoroughly understanding the origin of the ghost today, I discovered that the nightmares related to Oliver in the five tasks seemed to have a lot of influence in the school. High priority.”

The dormitory building is safe during the day. The only fatal point is that you have to be careful not to trigger the murder conditions of the female dormitory.

And when the dormitory falls into lights-out time, in addition to the interior of the dormitory, other places will be invaded by nightmares and filled with ghosts like the teaching building.

No matter what the reason was, after the lights were turned off, there seemed to be some agreement between Nightmare and the female dormitory manager. The female dormitory manager allowed Nightmare to occupy the dormitory building, and Nightmare also cooperated with the female dormitory manager to conduct bed checks, but in general Or nightmares are more beneficial, encroaching on the female dormitory's territory.

"I have some ideas about this." Zhao Mou had already walked to the table in the public area and turned on the small desk lamp on the table. The weak light suddenly illuminated a small area.

Zhao Yijiu stood by the door quietly at some point, using paper to block all the gaps in the door where people could peek inside.

Wen Qinghuai walked over slowly, also yawned, and sat down on the chair. His curly hair was very messy.

Zhao Mou said to the last unmoving bed: "Yu Xing, get out of bed, come over and make a new plan."

"Here we come." Yu Xing rubbed his eyes and opened the curtain, "Do you feel it? I just lay on the bed for a while after turning off the lights this time. I feel so sleepy. Is it because the dormitory manager's ability has become stronger?"

"It's okay, I don't feel anything." Hearing this, Zhao Mou glanced at Yu Xing one more time, then turned to ask Zhao Yijiu, "Are you sleepy?"

Zhao Yijiu shook his head and said lightly: "I'm not sleepy."

"I'm actually fine. As a lazy person in real life, every time I get up, I will be so reluctant to leave for a while. It's normal, but Yu Xing, you look really sleepy." Wen Qinghuai started to cut his hair. Noticing Yu Xing's mental state, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, am I the only one who is feeling sleepy..." Yu Xing squinted his eyes and felt much more awake after seeing the light.

After they returned to the dormitory from night study, they tidied up each other and lay on the bed in advance to wait for bedtime. After a while, Yu Xing fell asleep. It was not until the female dormitory came in that his ability to sense danger allowed him to Wake up quietly.

Yu Xing felt a little tired after lying on the bed. At first, he thought it was some kind of gradually increasing rule in the dormitory building, but now he found that this situation was only for him, and he naturally thought of the power of Gui Chenshu.

Since he can influence the judgment of the ghosts under Gui Chenshu's control in the school copy, it has been proved that the power in his body and Gui Chenshu's power have something in common.

Then it is very reasonable for Gui Chenshu to influence him in turn.

Yu Xing didn't tell anyone else about this idea. It would be a big project to explain, so it wasn't suitable to talk about it in the dungeon.

He then made an excuse: "Maybe it's because of my physical constitution that I'm more likely to feel these negative effects."

After sitting down on the chair, he found Zhao Yijiu staring at him faintly, and Yu Xing smiled: "But it doesn't matter, the sleepiness was just for a while, and it has passed now."

"Say something immediately if you find something is wrong." A small part of Zhao Yijiu's body melted into the shadows, and there was worry in the face illuminated by the light.

"Of course." Yu Xing crossed his legs with a casual attitude, "Then let's get started. Did Zhao Mou just say he had some thoughts about nightmares?"

Zhao Mou, who also wanted to express some concern, heard Yu Xing's intention to change the subject, and immediately gave up what Yu Xing wanted to say, and followed Yu Xing's intention: "Yes, there are many new ideas, and there is a lot of information today. , I think it’s enough to analyze the structure of this copy clearly.”

The light on the table was too weak, and the four of them were in semi-darkness. In fact, it felt a bit like an underground sect holding a secret meeting.

"Ghosts are everywhere. In other words, I found that the pattern of ghosts is that they follow students. It is not the teaching building that is most dangerous, but the most dangerous place where the living people gather after nightfall." Zhao Mou Taking this topic as a breakthrough point, he mentioned the school doctor's office by the way, "The school doctor's office that occupies the teaching building is actually the teacher's side."

"I discovered this from the locations of the five missions and the corresponding mini-bosses. The five missions can actually be regarded as five forces. The forces are strong and weak, and there is a relationship of suppression and cooperation between them."

"When I judged the relationship between them through the details, I discovered a very interesting phenomenon."

Zhao Mou sat very upright when he spoke. He was not as imageless as when it was just him and Zhao Yijiu at home, nor was he as elite as when he was in contact with strangers. He held a pen in his hand, but there was no paper in front of him. Like just to move my fingers.

"Actually, we have talked about this issue before, such as the supply relationship between the library's garbage room and the canteen's bird-drop window. Then the library and the canteen are cooperating."

"A lot of the food provided in the cafeteria will gradually make people polluted. The school doctor's office and the psychological teacher Yu Xing said are also sources of pollution. One destroys the body, the other destroys the soul. Together they are a weapon to create students with red armbands, so the cafeteria and the school doctor's office... That’s teachers, it’s also collaboration.”

"The librarian asked Jean to help her find the thief when she found out that a book was lost. Jean is the dean of students, so he can be considered as representing the teacher. The library and the school doctor's office also cooperate."

"To sum up, the school doctor's office, library and cafeteria are three tasks and three locations. They are also three forces. They are in a group situation. They are based on the relationship of supply and demand and are closely connected."

Wen Qinghuai nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the rest of the nightmare and the dormitory are a separate collaboration. The teacher is very wary of the ghosts in the nightmares. Also, the treatment of the dormitory is very harsh. The room where the dormitory lives and the entire Compared with the old and new school, it is almost the worst.”

"It can be understood that after Nightmare and the dormitory administrators teamed up, they actually had a hostile relationship with the other three forces." Zhao Mou began to write, "But the strength of these two hostile entities is still balanced. In my opinion, the strength of the dormitory administrators may be It is the weakest among the five forces, and Nightmare is the strongest."

Zhao Yijiu obviously followed the train of thought this time. He didn't show any puzzled expression at all and listened silently.

Wen Qinghuai pondered for a moment: "Although the carrier of this nightmare is Oliver, it is already targeting all living people. The nightmare has long been beyond Oliver's control. Compared with other tasks, the coverage of the nightmare should be the widest. , other tasks occupy buildings, nightmares occupy people, but..."

"He will still be slightly restrained, or even equaled, by the school doctor's office, because it can't do anything to the teachers and will basically avoid the red armbands."

Yu Xing smiled and said: "After all, the nightmare originated from Class 4 of the third year, and it was only later integrated into St. Jonis Middle School. Isn't it normal for outsiders to have disadvantages over the locals?"

"But these are just raising a new question, that is, if cooperation is still understandable, what is the reason for hostility," Zhao Mou said. "The answer was just mentioned by Yu Xing. I also think it is the conflict between outsiders and locals. contradiction."

"You mean there are also outsiders in the dormitory building?" Wen Qinghuai was a little surprised by this, but he didn't expect this. "Where did you see it? Because the mouse appears here very suddenly, and there are no animal elements elsewhere in the school?"

"This is one of the reasons. My thoughts have to go back to the strength of the nightmare side. It is also a task. Why is the nightmare using people as a carrier, which is stronger than the female dormitory manager? The teachers in the school doctor's office can basically complete the entire campus. The presence of the chef in the cafeteria and the librarian in the library is so low." Zhao Mou's advantage suddenly emerged after collecting the information, and his information extraction and association abilities were extremely terrifying.

"I guess their strength is related to the compatibility between the mission boss itself and St. Jonis Middle School."

This was the first time a concept was mentioned in this dungeon. Zhao Yijiu blinked: "Fit?"

"That's right, let's first take a look at what these bosses are, regardless of where they abandoned the mission." Zhao Mou simply guided Zhao Yijiu's thinking, "Don't look at anything, just look at their own image."

"Teacher, Oliver's nightmare, rats, clones, and women with high heels." Zhao Yijiao described it succinctly. The order of his description was the school doctor's office, nightmare, dormitory building, cafeteria, and finally the library.

"The following description... forget it, that's okay." Zhao Mou looked complicated, despairing of his brother's ability to summarize. He paused before continuing: "The group of teachers includes various positions, including grade directors, The head teacher, classroom teacher, psychological teacher and school doctor can basically complete the entire teaching staff structure.”

"Oliver's nightmare is based on the incident where Oliver was bullied, and it extends from the original Class 4 of Grade 3 to the entire school district today."

“The fit between these two forces and St. Jonis Middle School itself is basically 100%, because teachers and students are the two most basic groups of a school, and they are the two strongest, with a larger number of students. If there are many, nightmares are better in terms of intensity, but teachers have a natural professional advantage over students, so nightmares can’t help the teachers.”

"Looking at the rest, the chef in the cafeteria is a ghost that can be split into many parts and has a strong pollution ability in its own flesh and blood. The librarian is a ghost that walks strangely and has a strong relationship with sounds. The two are closely related to each other. The word school is irrelevant, and the degree of compatibility is low. Just because they are suitable, one becomes a chef and the other manages the library. The degree of threat to students is limited."

Zhao Mou's meaning has been understood by the other three people. It is indeed true when I think about it, but the pattern has been well hidden before. Zhao Mou really dares to think that he can extract the pattern so quickly.

"But both kinds of ghosts are humanoid, and perhaps we can still find some clues to their existence. For example, they are prohibited from making sounds in class, just like the librarian uses the sound as a coordinate when looking for someone. In adolescence, some people become curious about that kind of thing. He tried it too early without understanding safety and responsibility, just like a chef who has some sexual connotations in his clothes and actions, but his flesh and blood are so dangerous."

Wen Qinghuai laughed and said: "That's okay. It seems to make sense. I can barely find traces that they are native."

"I'm not sure what these two symbols symbolize, but they at least leave room for imagination." Zhao Mou pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected a dim light in the weak light, "The dormitory, the mouse, and the baby This is something that is certain, but it is not consistent with the school.”

"So you think the dormitory supervisor is an outsider just like Class 3 and Class 4?" Yu Xing's lips curled up slightly, "I'm talking about this, just to talk about the plague."

"...Yes, the plague." Zhao Mou said, "Since it is foreign, it must symbolize an event in itself in order to integrate into St. Jonis Middle School with its own rules."

Plague is a source of fear for humans.

Plague has broken out in many places. From a global perspective, the most famous plague is that in medieval Europe.

The plague at that time was so severe that rats piled up in mounds and ate everyone they saw. Rats were like the god of death, bringing blood, pain, and hunger to the people at that time.

The screams of rats can be heard throughout the night, and the army usually runs past human houses. In many cases, hearing the screams of rats approaching is tantamount to approaching death.

Therefore, human beings are not afraid of rats for no reason, but have traces to follow. The plague outbreaks time and time again in history have engraved the fear of rats in people's blood and DNA. This is the instinct of survival.

And once the female hostess is positioned as a foreign ghost, her weirdness can perfectly match the plague. The plague at that time plunged many cities into chaos. At the same time, there were also rumors that many newborns at that time had rat characteristics. of stillbirth.

When the female dormitory was tied with wool felt, the baby's body would be furry. Later, the wood-carved baby was deformed and his body shrunk like a mouse.

She insists that the baby is her husband. It is better to say that the memories of "woman" and "mouse" symbolized by the female dormitory are fused together. Women lost their husbands and children in the plague and were also afraid of giving birth to deformed children. .
