Absurd deduction game

The dark room was empty except for a wooden sofa in the middle. Luxurious red silk hung from the back of the sofa to the ground. There was also a small cabinet built next to the sofa.

A desk lamp was placed on the cabinet and turned on. The warm light became the only light source in the room. The light seemed to tremble slightly with the breathing of someone close at hand.

Xixi held her hard-cover book and read it attentively.

She was lying on the sofa with her head facing the lamp. The reflection of the red silk under her blue dress reflected a bright red in her eyes.

But that didn't affect her concentration when reading.

The book she held in her hand was a bit old, the pages were slightly yellowed, and five words - Aldau Fairy Tales - were reflected on the cover.

"The jellyfish is getting closer to her friend little by little - the clownfish that has been traveling with her for three months. Now that they are about to separate, the jellyfish remembers that they have never hugged each other."

The story on this page was not finished yet. Xixi, with her hair disheveled, leaned lazily on her sofa and turned to the next page.

"'Will we see each other again?' the clownfish asked. The jellyfish thought for a while and answered uncertainly, 'I don't know, it's too hot here. I have to find a cold deep sea to live in.'"

"The clownfish was frustrated. He swam closer and said, 'Give me a hug to say goodbye.' The jellyfish had wanted to do that for a long time, and she couldn't bear to leave her friend. So she opened her arms and hugged the clownfish. Body."

Xixi blinked.

"The jellyfish's tentacles trapped the clownfish. It was such a loving hug. The clownfish was trembling and its tail was wagging wildly, as if it couldn't bear the separation."

"Their friendship must last forever. Perhaps, only death can separate them, and nothing else matters. But, the clownfish is escaping. He yells 'No! Don't touch me again, you never said you were a... Poisonous jellyfish!'"

"The jellyfish looked at the clownfish and hugged him harder. On her tentacles, tetrodotoxin kept contacting the clownfish's body. After just a few years, the clownfish stiffened, turned its belly and sank down. The jellyfish was gentle He looked at the corpse of the clownfish and said, 'Yeah, I never told you I was a box jellyfish, otherwise you wouldn't dare travel with me.'"

"She took the body of the clownfish with her and swam in the direction she originally wanted to go. She seemed to want to keep her friend with her and accompany her to every place she went to in the future. Until one day, the jellyfish saw a sparkling fish A beautiful little fish. She let go of her tentacles, and the body of the clownfish finally left her and sank alone into the bottomless abyss."

"And the jellyfish happily swam towards the glowing fish and said, 'Hello, are you traveling alone? Me too, we can go together.'"

The story came to an abrupt end. Looking at the ending, Xixi burst into uncontrollable laughter for some reason.

She read it with gusto and turned another page, planning to read the next story.

Suddenly, a faint light emitted from the wall of the room.

The blue light gradually condensed into a circular shape, turning into a complex array little by little, becoming the second light source in the dark room.

Xixi's eyes lit up, she closed her book, sat up straight on the sofa, and instantly turned into a well-behaved girl, staring closely at the darkness in front of the magic circle, and said cheerfully: "Mom, you are here!"

But the darkness didn't respond to her.

Xixi paused, and her face immediately turned gloomy: "Mom?"

Still silence.

Her expression became very bad, and she said with a hint of ferociousness: "Mom - Mom? Why are you ignoring me when you are here? Or...who is here?"

"...I'm sorry." A cold and gentle male voice sounded from the darkness, "Your mother can't come tonight. She asked me to come and see you on her behalf."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the whole room became stagnant.

Xixi looked at the place where the sound came from with a strange look, and asked softly: "Oh? Really. How dare she not come to see me? Is there anything more important than me?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, she added: "Mom, how dare you let anything other than him disturb me... Come here, okay? Come closer."

The tone was light, but anyone could realize that Xixi was in great anger at this time.

In this atmosphere, Yu Xing slowly walked out of the darkness and entered the area covered by the lamp.

His eyes fell on the desk lamp for the first time, and he thought to himself that it was indeed a place where the sense of time was extremely confusing. In the era of the hotel, there were only kerosene lamps, but at night, desk lamps appeared as abrupt as the medical instruments in the previous rooms.

After looking at it for less than two seconds, he looked at Xixi intently again.

Xixi in this room... looks exactly the same as she did during the day. Even her clothes are so normal. At first glance, one would think that she, like Kalodi, had not fallen asleep and just opened the door and walked out of the room. Of night.

But the anger on Xixi's face was enough for people to distinguish her state.

She no longer had the kindness and helplessness she had during the day. There was undisguised malice in her eyes. When she stared at Yu Xing, the air was almost freezing.

"I'm sorry to disturb you and Daisy's meeting tonight." Yu Xing shrugged, but at this time, he didn't forget to throw the blame at Carlo Di, "Caro Di lied to me and said Daisy would go to the kitchen. Naturally, I thought it would be him who came to see you, and I thought it would be okay to take my place. Who knows, but it might have disturbed the reunion between mother and daughter?"

He said that he thought that, in fact, the smile at the corner of his mouth already represented his attitude - no matter who is supposed to come to see you, I want to get involved.

"I only need my mother." Xixi was very unfamiliar with Yu Xing's attitude, "I don't need anything else, and neither do you."

"That may not be up to you." Yu Xing spread his hands, looking helpless.

A few minutes ago, he and Kalodi chatted a little more in a room full of hidden teleportation arrays.

Yu Xing quickly got the information he wanted.

It was Carlodie who put the shopping items away every night, while Daisy would go to Sisi's room alone.

Kalodi wanted to hide Xixi's existence, so he lied to him and asked him to put things away - Kalodi just wanted to give Yu Xing something to do, and then naturally sent the guy back to the bedroom to sleep.

But Yu Xing guessed that there were more things than Kalodi thought. He only said, "How about I go put the things away and you go see Xixi?" Kalodi's face changed with fright. Kalodi didn't have such big mood swings when he was wearing a mask.

In the end, Carlodie had to compromise and tell Yu Xing where Xixi's teleportation array was, and confessed the real process... Daisy would stay at Xixi's place all night, and Carlodie had to wait until the end of the night. Pick up Daisy again.

He reminded Yu Xing that Xixi was more dangerous than anything else, and didn't stop him.

So now, Yu Xing replaced Daisy and came to Xixi's room at night.

"Can't you help me?" Xixi repeated, as if she heard something funny, a beautiful smile spread on her face.

"It's really interesting. There's nothing in this hotel that I can't control."
