Absurd deduction game

[If you confirm that you want to leave the room, you must answer three questions. 】

Yu Xing got four clues about the past in the room and was about to go out. As expected, he received a prompt from the system.

[If you answer any of the three questions incorrectly, you will be trapped in this room forever. 】

The female voice in the system had no emotion, and her voice was smooth with no fluctuation at all, but inexplicably, Yu Xing could feel the same human thoughts contained in it.

From the first time he heard the system's female voice to now, every time the system communicated with him in a female voice, it would deepen his feeling.

It was as if he was watching the system collect and absorb some kind of human data, and finally evolve to become more and more human-like, until one day, people would be unable to distinguish the difference between the system and themselves.

It is said that human beings like to create things that are similar to themselves, but once the degree of similarity exceeds a threshold, it will produce the uncanny valley effect, which makes people feel scared.

In fact, after Yu Xing entered Nanshui Town, he made some insinuations while interacting with other deducers, and found that other people had never encountered the system speaking in a female voice, and what they heard was still the familiar mechanical voice.

It seemed that the system would only show this side in front of him.

This is him. A slightly more sensitive deducer should be able to feel the emotional changes in the system, but his thinking is different from that of ordinary humans. Even if he notices it, his first reaction will not be the same. Instead of being vigilant and quietly starting to respond, there was an interest in "seeing what it wants to do."

The more he knew about the inside story, the more interesting it became to Yu Xing.

At this time, when Yu Xing heard the price of answering the question incorrectly, he didn't even feel that he was cheating. Instead, he asked with interest: "Being trapped in the room forever?"

"Then what if you find a way to sneak out after answering wrongly?"

The system did not hesitate at all, and was not surprised that he would ask such a question. The female voice seemed to have a slight smile that was as light as an illusion, like a deep deviance hidden under the rules.

【That's also your ability. 】

It clearly knew that Yu Xing had the ability to not be constrained by the space of a mere room, so this answer was like a joke about knowing the law and breaking the law.

——It had to give Yu Xing a small pit because of certain rules, but Yu Xing was able to avoid the pit with a single step. Not only was it not angry, but it was happy to see the result.

"Okay, you ask." Yu Xing roughly tried out the system's attitude towards him in Nanshui Town, and was basically sure that no matter what tricks it had on his sudden enthusiasm, at least in this deduction, the system would It's towards him.

[So, who is Mingzhu? 】

It seems that the three questions should all revolve around the phantom old events displayed in the room. The first question is particularly simple. I wonder if the difficulty of the three questions gradually increases.

Yu Xing said concisely and to the point: "The wife married by the eldest young master of the Fang family."

[What is the Fang family’s attitude towards Mingzhu? 】

Yu Xing: "..."

Sure enough, the second question started to get more difficult.

It is difficult to know the answer to this question in the shadow of past events, and the deducers can only rely on speculation based on their own ideas.

Fortunately, this question is asked in a general way. Some answers cannot be definitely right or wrong, but some answers are like snake oil and cannot be wrong no matter what.

He replied: "Controlling."

No matter whether Young Master Fang likes Mingzhu or not, and whether the old man Fang Deming will act like a feudal patriarch, the desire for control is unavoidable.

Otherwise, they would not have simply poisoned Mingzhu's family to death when things got a little out of control.

The system paused for a moment, probably because it decided that there was no problem with this answer, so it continued to ask:

[What is the Fang family’s weakness? 】

…

"Weakness?"

The blood from his fingertips dripped down bit by bit, forming a pool of blood at his feet.

Hua Subai's cheeks were also stained with splashes of blood. The blood stains under his eyes made his whole person look like he was melting into a dangerous and morbid temperament.

This private room was already messier than when he entered.

The influence of the past has long since dissipated under the pale green light and shadow. The suitcase in the corner was opened, and several heads rolled out, piled together with the fabric of the small dress, so they were indistinguishable between you and me.

Those people's eyes were wide open and their lips were blue, as if they had experienced extremely painful suffocation before.

On the surrounding walls, someone left bloody words the size of a human head with a mixture of resentment and hatred——

【They will pay the price! 】

【Why? 】

【Why would I die in a place like this! 】

[Why do I feel that they are pitiful? It’s obviously me who should be pitiful! 】

【traitor】

[Aren’t we doing this for her? How could she leave us like this! 】

And on the ground not far from Hua Subai, the other half of the heads - the bodies - were piled up in a mess.

These headless bodies are covered in corpse spots, but they are not completely rotten. They are too cold, and even if they are motionless, they are emitting white mist into the air.

Those broken hearts were torn out by Hua Subai and thrown to the ground. Those hands that wrote bloody words were cut off by Hua Subai, strung together with flower vines, and placed on top of the pile of corpses.

Like a wreath given by a compassionate person.

It's just that this wreath is really full of malice. Unfortunately, the corpses have been beaten back to a state of immobility, and there is no way to wake up again.

Hua Subai laughed out loud when faced with the system's third question.

"Is this the right question to ask when exiting the first room?"

"The Fang family is made to look like the biggest boss in the town. Isn't it too much if their weaknesses can be known so easily?"

[So you want to answer that you don’t know? 】

The mechanical system voice mocked.

Deducers have known a rule for a long time. After becoming desperate, they can greatly increase the frequency of communication with the system and have certain privileges in the system.

This is true for the despair level, let alone the real level.

Hua Subai, a real-level person like Hua Subai who has been around for who knows how long, has long been an old acquaintance with the system.

Just like when the system talks to Yiqing, it will bring some clear emotions to express its dissatisfaction or approval.

But this emotion is very superficial. At a glance, you can tell that the system is intentionally imitating people's speaking habits and intonation to achieve the purpose of expression. It does not mean that it actually possesses these emotions.

Because of this, the extrapolators always feel at ease.

Because their system is just a system.

Hua Subai didn't care about the system's mocking tone. He raised his lips with unclear meaning: "It's just that the table is different, but I have to experience so much more than the people at the other two tables."

"Yu Xing told me that he didn't encounter any danger there, but what about me?"

"Forget it about the red clothes, even the things that appeared in the past will turn into ghosts and attack me."

Although the thing that attacked him was already lying on the ground.

Hua Subai was standing in front of the door. All this did not pose much of a threat to him, but it made his appearance messy.

At this moment, the only trace of the flower shop owner's demeanor was his micro-expression.

"You are thinking of ways to target me. Oh, do you really hope that I can die here?"

[I am fair to everyone and there is no targeting. 】

"Really? Isn't it because I have noticed your secret, so you are eager to kill me to silence it? System...Miss."

The moment he said the word "miss", Hua Subai's body was suddenly torn into pieces like rags, and his severed limbs were scattered on the ground.

The system "watched" this scene indifferently.

[I am fair to everyone and never decide the life or death of a deducer based on my own selfish desires. 】

In front of Huasubai's broken corpse, the female voice of the system laughed.

[This is just a lesson. Of course you will not disappear because of it, but I hope this hush money is enough to make you have some scruples. 】

…

"The Fang family's weakness..." Yu Xing's face became a little strange, and he obviously felt that it was unreasonable for this problem to arise so early.

But it doesn't matter, he knows the answer: "Their weakness is probably their decline, because they once had the most glorious history and the highest status in the town, so when the world becomes more connected, they will know that Nanshui The town is no match for those rich cities.”

"And local squires like them are not worth mentioning in other cities. They will receive the critical eyes of people from big cities, and their proud majesty will become 'feudal'."

"The Fang family will definitely not accept this sense of disparity."

"So the weakness is decline. Am I right in saying that?"

【As expected of you. 】

The system praised him very good-naturedly, with a hint of kindness in his plain tone.

[The answer is correct, the door has been opened and you can go out. 】
