Absurd deduction game

After looking at the houses of Dark Star members, the four of them finally started to search the rooms where "people" lived.

Because there are only ten rooms in total, and they are not large, they are given plenty of time. There is no need to search separately. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to repeat the information they found after they are gathered together.

They walked into the room of the woman holding the child.

As soon as the door was opened, the woman in the room looked straight at them.

The clothes on the woman were not thick enough. She seemed to have only a layer of sweater and a layer of pants. Her exposed arms, neck and feet were all red from the cold.

His blank eyes were directed at the door, and there was a deathly silence on his face, which seemed to capture their figures in his eyes.

Zhang Yu paused, his scalp numb. It took him two seconds to realize that the woman was not looking at them, but was facing this direction.

The woman was as motionless as a sculpture, with no ups and downs of breathing. She was just like Yu Xing described to them, like a dummy.

"Is she sure she won't move? Will we disturb her if we search the house?" Zhang Yu saw that Yu Xing had stepped forward, and he slowly moved over.

With the captain and Boss Hua around, you still feel safe, but it's just like going to a haunted house and finding a humanoid sitting in the room. You don't know when "it" will suddenly pounce on you and scare you. .

And facing this woman, his uncanny valley effect was almost forced out.

Yu Xing was reaching out to check the condition of the baby in the woman's arms. He pushed aside the layers of swaddling clothes and saw the face of the dead baby.

Judging from the unfolded fabrics, there was a thin quilt among them - but it was damaged.

There are also all kinds of torn clothes, layers of torn pieces of cloth stacked together, some new and some old, and I don’t know how long it took the woman to collect them.

This room has more of a life feel than the empty room they drew. Except for the closet being a little empty, other daily necessities are fully stocked.

Kettle, mouthwash cup, washbasin, rice bowl, napkins... Looking at it, this should be a small nest that has been lived in for a long time.

"If the previous scene is a reenactment of real events that happened, then the people in these ten rooms are indeed residents of the Anmian Hotel." Yu Xing said in a voice that was not loud but could be heard by others. , "What the old man in the hall probably forgot is what happened in Nanshui Town before the mutation happened."

"That is to say, in the normal world, there was a very harmful snowstorm in Nanshui Town, and these people were all residents living in the Anmian Hotel at that time. Until some abnormality happened, the residents all died, but their bodies did not Instead of rotting, it turned into something like a puppet that keeps repeating the same scene?"

Zhang Yu was thinking while answering: "If this woman has lived in this room for a long time, can we consider it? When it is particularly cold, they can only treat this place as home."

"I still remember that on the system page for event registration, the description of Nanshui Town is that the sun has not appeared for several months." Lan Wu asked while looking through the cabinet drawers, "What if the mutation only happened for a few months?" , does it conflict with the time you see now?"

"The real and false flow rates are ten to one. Since there is such a time difference, maybe there is also a time difference between the outside world and the inside of Nanshui Town?" Hua Subai relied on his loose clothes to make it difficult to move, so the old god stood on the ground against the wall. , paddling openly and honestly.

He looked at the other three people who were knocking and looking around here and there, and squinted his eyes contentedly: "What other places think is a few months has actually been decades in Nanshui Town. This kind of It’s not impossible.”

Lan Wu hesitated: "That's it."

"But there must be a reason for the different flow rates of time. Either the environment is different, such as the ground and the underground tomb, and the time may be deviated due to the condensation of underground Yin Qi." Yu Xing pulled out a necklace from under the pillow, "Or... It makes sense to think that the time is different for what is real and what is fake.”

"But now, what we know is that real time passes faster than false time, so we have a chance to complete the task and leave before the seven days arrive."

"But if the outside world is a few months and the inside time is more than ten years, it is equivalent to the normal outside world being slower than the abnormal inner world. Of course there is no problem in other deductions. However, here, it is exactly opposite to the real and false time flow rate. ."

"If there is no reason, I can't think of why two completely opposite time results would appear in the same place."

Yu Xing said, looking at the necklace in his hand.

The heavy necklace seems to be made of gold. The golden chain has not lost its luster in this situation. The pendant hanging underneath is a small oval gold shell photo frame that can be opened. When the button is pressed, the cover pops open, revealing the inside. A photo of a family of three.

The photo has faded, and its original vitality cannot be seen, giving the person in the photo a weather-beaten air.

A man in a wheelchair is in the center of the photo, holding an infant baby in his arms. The woman behind the man is radiant, with her hands on the back of the wheelchair, and she and the man are facing the camera with a bright smile.

Although the man has a disease in his legs, judging from this photo alone, the couple has a very good relationship. Both the man and the woman are dressed in exquisite clothes. The woman also wears a jade bracelet on her wrist.

Yu Xing was silent for a while and showed the photo to the woman sitting beside the bed.

The woman's face gradually overlapped with the face in the photo. It was really hard to imagine that the haggard and numb person in front of me was once so well-dressed, had a love, and had money.

This gold necklace is not cheap either.

But look now, the woman lives in a small hotel room, the pots and pans are old and dirty, and the dust and stains in many places have not been cleaned, making it dirty and messy.

"Captain, do you want to take this necklace?" Zhang Yu came over.

Yu Xing gave him the necklace: "Can you tell whether the man in the photo is important?"

Zhang Yu was stunned, then laughed and said: "Probably, but I didn't look at the photos, I had to look for clues."

Something like data flashed in his eyes: "There are no items related to men in this room, which means that the woman was not accompanied by a man when she lived here, and her husband was not with her."

"But she put the necklace under the pillow, which shows that she cherishes the photo very much. Judging from this behavior, she still loves her husband and misses him very much."

"Look here again." Zhang Yu pointed to a fragment of fabric that clearly belonged to a man's trousers in the middle of the baby's swaddle. "Look, this piece of fabric has the same color and similar texture as the trousers worn by the man in the photo. I guess they are the same piece. ."

"So, the possibility of her husband cheating is extremely low, and the probability of being dead is 76%." Zhang Yu touched his chin, "And the woman died before she checked into the Anmian Hotel, so what happened in the hotel is different from This man has nothing to do with it. Generally speaking, I tend to think that this man is not important to our mission and is just a spiritual sustenance for this lady while she is alive."

"Since it's not important, there's no need to take it away, and this thing..." Yu Xing silently stuffed the necklace back under the pillow, "The system didn't say that the scene that reappears every hour won't change. She didn't open my necklace last time. door, but if I take her necklace, I don’t know whether she will change her target and knock on another door next time.”

Don't take things randomly when you have nothing to do. This is also a lesson that can be learned from many deductions. The most important thing is that this thing is useless. If you take it and attract hatred, it is really unnecessary.

The three of them and Hua Subai, who was watching the whole process, quickly looked through the woman's room. With Zhang Yu, a professional counterpart, they were basically sure that no clues were missed.

In addition to the necklace, they also found an IOU. It was about a man named Sun Yunyun who borrowed half a catty of rice from a woman. It was specifically marked "not returned" at the end.

Without wasting time, they went to Xiao Yangyang's room again.

To be honest, it is incredible enough for a little boy in his early ten years to live alone in a hotel, and the display in the room makes people feel a little fond of this child.

The children's room is much simpler than the woman's room. Things are placed in a relatively low place. Except for some daily necessities, the most are various small toys.

All the clothes and quilts in the room were piled on the bed, turning the heavy wooden bed into a small nest.

The child was sitting on the open space in the center of the room, and his intimidating power was much lower than that of the woman before.

And they all already know that in the scene, the child kindly opened the door and gave the woman something. Unfortunately, he was strangled to death by the irritated woman. A typical good person has no reward.

"He should live with his parents." Lan Wu saw several pairs of shoes placed at the bottom of the empty wardrobe, including men's leather shoes and women's cotton shoes. There was also a pair of shoes placed vertically behind the door. suitcase.

This probably means that the children came with their parents when they moved to the hotel, and the parents should have been prepared and packed some things.

"Even if it existed before, it's gone now." Hua Subai stood in front of the cabinet, looking at the many clutter that would rather be piled on the floor than on the table, and picked up a small wavy drum, "Things are all down there. It is at a height that is convenient for children to take it, but it would not be possible if an adult were around.”

As he turned the drum stick, the small balls on both sides of the wavy drum began to beat one after another.

Given the development level of Nanshui Town, children's toys are all very old things, such as wave drums, bamboo dragonflies, or some weird gadgets that have been eliminated elsewhere, but are still novel in the town.

"Well, Boss Hua is right. The child's parents must be gone. It's not like a teenage child still likes rattles. There are many toys nearby that are much more interesting than wavy drums." Zhang Yu looked over and said, " So I put the wave drum in the most conspicuous place because I miss my parents."

The wave drum is a bit childish for a teenager, but it is just right for the flower boss who is not sure how old he is.

He started shaking and didn't want to let go, so the whole room was filled with a "dong-dong-dong" sound.

Yu Xing, who was picking up newspaper fragments on the ground, pushed up his glasses patiently: "This child's parents are indeed dead. A girl mentioned it in the repeated scene. Didn't you even hear it?"

Zhang Yu: "..."

Lan Wu: "..."

Hua Subai: Dong dong dong dong dong dong.

"I'm sorry, captain, you know my situation at that time. My brain was almost frozen. I really couldn't pay attention to the sounds in the corridor, especially when there were many people behind, the sounds were too noisy." Zhang Yu coughed dryly and took the He picked up the transparent tape and said, "Do you want to stick the newspaper on it?"

No matter what time it is, a newspaper is an item that contains a huge amount of information because it is timely and has a lot of text.

The children were bored and cut up the newspaper to play with origami. Although their hands-on skills were not very good and they had no idea what the folded stuff was, it at least saved them the trouble of looking for a piece of paper in a room full of miscellaneous things.

It was also the only newspaper in the room.

The entire newspaper was cut into too many pieces, so it took Zhang Yu about five minutes to piece it together bit by bit.

After it's glued, it's easy to look through. The cheap feel, faded ink prints, and old layout all give people a feeling of age.

This is a "Chaowen Daily", not a local newspaper in a small town. The newspaper publishes big and small news from all over the world, and there is also a serialization of novels on the sidebar at the end.

But that didn't matter, because reports about the snow disaster in Nanshui Town were printed on the front page.

"...Currently, all roads leading to Nanshui Town are blocked by heavy snow. People in the town have been out of contact for three days. The local area is racing against time to launch access operations to open up a safe evacuation route for the people in the town."

"...There is no scientific explanation for the heavy snowfall in this area. Because the scope of the snowstorm is limited to Nanshui Town and its surrounding mountains and forests, the meteorological department cannot make predictions and estimates in advance..."

"...The port located in the east area of ​​Nanshui Town is currently closed. Because the water around the port is covered with thick ice, ships coming and going have to make a detour..."

"...The only good news we can know at the moment is that Nanshui Town has sufficient food reserves, and the people will not fall into famine due to a short-term heavy snow closure."

The headline report was quite detailed, looking at the snow disaster from the perspective of other areas outside Nanshui Town. In addition to the headlines in other parts of the newspaper, Yu Xing also found several missing persons notices about Nanshui Town.

He paid special attention and there was no news about the disappearance of the tour group in Nanshui Town.

In other words, the time when their tour group entered the town was not in the same range as the time when the snowstorm occurred in Nanshui Town.

This actually gave him a clearer division of the timeline.

Snow disasters and reports seem to be from the same era as Baibao Street; while tour groups are from the same era as the modern towns outside Baibao Street.

The only thing that stands out in the modern town is the Fang Mansion. Apart from the Fang Mansion, who else is called a "mansion" in modern times?

Moreover, the timeline about Fang Mansion is the vaguest. When Fang Deming was young, that is, when his eldest son Fang Xiao was still young, there were gangs in the port, and the eldest man could kill people in Bu Forget Curie if he got upset.

The dress worn by Mingzhu's sister-in-law from the big city also looks a bit like the real-life styles that were popular in the 1990s, or even earlier.

Of course, it’s hard to say that the worldviews are different.

Now, there are hospitals, schools, and bus stops outside the town. The residents in the town wear modern clothes. Although they are old-fashioned, they are definitely modern clothes. Only the guide Gao Yiling wears her favorite Republic of China student uniform.

But according to the letters and the information revealed by people in the town when they mentioned Fang Mansion, Fang Xiao had only been married to Mingzhu's sister-in-law for a few years, and Fang Deming was still alive.

Can a town undergo such a big change in just a few years? In other words, can the world's development level make a leap in just a few years?

It's just that the time here in Fang Mansion doesn't match up, and it feels disconnected, just like watching countless high-rise buildings suddenly built within two or three years during the Republic of China.

However, the existence of Fang Mansion in the minds of the townspeople was very reasonable.

Yu Xing vaguely felt that the contradiction was here, but it couldn't be connected. He also needed a key that could make all conditions reasonable and smooth.

"Don't force yourself to think so much." Hua Subai came up from behind at some point, put his arm around Yu Xing's neck and put it on Yu Xing's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Isn't it better to let nature take its course? You even We still don’t know who the evil god is that caused the current situation in Nanshui Town, so how can we directly understand his abilities?”

Yu Xing was caught off guard and was covered by a big red moth. The long red sleeves directly covered half of his body.

He frowned and brushed the person away: "...Don't get so close."

"What's wrong...we're not good friends anymore. Isn't it normal for boys to touch each other?" Hua Subai raised his hand in a joking manner. This shameless look almost made Yu Xing's fist harden. .

"Red is annoying to the eyes." He patted the non-existent dust on his shoulders unmoved, "Also, the sneak attacks of 'friends' are more difficult to guard against, especially you."

Not only did she hide secrets related to the actor, she probably deserved his wrath, but she also had a history of tricking him into accepting flowers.

"So you admit that we are still friends." Hua Subai raised his chin proudly, "Okay, nothing else matters. If you don't let me get close, I won't let you get close."

Yu Xing: "Tsk."

Lan Wu, who was on the side, glanced at the two of them in surprise, and whispered to Zhang Yu: "Aren't they friends to begin with?"

Along the way, it was basically the way friends get along with each other.

Moreover, among their gamers, many friends who boasted of being close to each other could not trust each other in the game dungeon, and would even hide information from each other.

For some people, friends are worthless in the face of survival.

But Lan Wukan and Yu Xing and Boss Hua are not like this. Doesn’t this mean that the two have a deep friendship?

Zhang Yu didn't dare to speculate: "I don't know. This is the first time I know Boss Youhua."

There were no other clues in Xiao Yangyang's room. They put the sticky newspapers back next to the motionless child and headed to the third room.

Living in the third small room are a pair of brothers, who should be twins judging from their appearance. One of the two was lying on the bed, and the other was sitting at the table. The leg lying on the leg was covered with a thin bandage. There was a faint smell of medicine coming from under the bandage, and it was obvious that he was injured.

The one sitting at the table is wearing a pair of glasses and looks very scholarly. His fixed movements are like holding a pen and writing something in a notebook, looking completely harmless.

But Yu Xing did not forget that in the repeated scene, the guy wearing glasses was filled with indignation towards the woman, with a twisted and ferocious look on his face, and he was also one of the most energetic people when grabbing sweaters.

These two people seemed to be from the medical clinic. From the items placed in their room, many elements related to the medical clinic could be found. There was even a bag of medicinal materials hidden in the corner.

The one wearing glasses is writing a ledger, and the two brothers seem to still do some medical treatment for other residents after staying in the hotel - of course, the price is more expensive than before.

How many grams of medicinal materials were paid, what diseases were treated, and what resources were exchanged were all clearly listed in the account book. It must be said that this person wrote good calligraphy. The handwriting was not only clear, but also neat and smooth. It was simply It’s hard to imagine that this was written by a man who was in trouble and had sores on his hands.

"These two people must be living a good life, even the ink is stored." Zhang Yu opened the drawer and couldn't help but sigh.

There is a lot of food stored in the cabinet on the other side, including rice, noodles, and even frozen meat.

"By the way, there is no place to fire in these rooms. How can they cook?" Zhang Yu scratched his head and asked himself, "Oh, does the hotel have unified cooking? Give the ingredients to the old man at the door, and then the old man cooks meal."

Although it is difficult for old people to move now, it was probably not the case at that time. As the owner of the entire hotel, if they were so incapacitated, these residents would have turned the hotel upside down if they were in dire straits.

"Look here, there is a ledger here."

Lan Wu was searching the bed, and he pulled out a deeply hidden notebook from the arms of the person lying down.

When I opened it, I realized that this was not an account book, but a diary.

...a diary that records things casually.

The diary was not written with a brush, but with a crooked charcoal pen, and the handwriting was uneven in thickness. Although it was obvious that the person who wrote the diary had a good hand in calligraphy, the person who wrote the diary did not seem to have the steady hands and heart like his brother.

There is no date marked on each page. It seems that I just write it when I remember it. One paragraph is the content of a day. The farther to the back, the more messy the handwriting becomes.

"Sometimes I feel happy and uneasy when I see how many supplies he has exchanged. The price is really too high. It goes against my father's teachings for us to take advantage of others' danger."

"Today there was an old lady who was rejected by him because she had no money for medical treatment. I really wanted her to stop being so heartless, but now I can't do anything... I can only lie in bed like a useless person, who am I qualified to take the place of her husband?" He is soft-hearted, if my leg hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have to worry about the supplies for two people."

"The old lady died. I didn't dare to look at her body. I could only watch as everyone buried the old lady behind the hotel."

"I don't know if it's my imagination. Last night I heard someone opening the door and going out in the corridor. Today I saw a tailor making a new vest for his daughter, but the color of the vest looked very much like an old lady's clothes... Probably not."

"Today he treated Sun Yunyun for frostbite and asked for a pound of rice. I know that Sun Yunyun has nothing to eat. She went out to look for supplies together several times, but she never snatched away these big men. A pound of rice, really. You can’t be so black-hearted.”

"It seems like people are dying every day lately, freezing to death. Counting the days, we have been here for half a year. The supplies we had at the beginning are all gone. The snow is getting thicker. Has the town been abandoned?"

"The tailor was found out about stealing clothes from dead people, which is exactly what I thought. His daughter seems to be going crazy, and that's right. It's not very cool to wear so many things dug out of graves and keep them on for so long. It’s easy to accept. But at times like this, it’s good to be alive. Who cares? At least I’m cold every day, so I’d wear it if I could.”

"These people are crazy!"

"Today, the tailor's daughter was running around in the corridor, acting crazy, with a knife in her hand. These people were afraid, so they worked together to throw the tailor's daughter out of the hotel, and... Since the tailor was beaten by the family members of the deceased in the middle of the night When it comes to death, it’s an open matter to take the clothes of a dead person, but you can’t take off the clothes of a living person!”

"He's also crazy. I saw with my own eyes that he mixed poison into the medicine he prescribed for Uncle Huang. What is he going to do!"

"He doesn't look like my brother at all. I'm afraid of him. Even when I write, I can only write secretly behind his back. I think the way he looks at me is wrong. Doesn't he feel dissatisfied with me dominating the bed? He Don’t you want to take care of me anymore?”

"Everyone is crazy, maybe I am crazy too. They can still go outside to look for supplies. I can only stay in this small, cramped room all the time, as if I was lying in a coffin in advance."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"He wanted to cover me up with a quilt, but the shop owner saw it. The shop owner's eyes were very sad, but I had known this day would happen."

"Why am I not dead yet?"

"Why am I not dead yet?"

"how do I……"

There was only this repeated sentence after that, and the writing became more and more messy, until in the end I couldn't even make out the words.

The atmosphere is a bit suffocating, and through these crazy words, it seems that you can get a glimpse of that dark time.

"His brother didn't kill him in the end for some reason." Zhang Yu murmured, looking at the back of the person sitting at the table, "Is it because of conscience or reluctance?"

"People's hearts are unpredictable. Didn't he originally seek medical treatment and sell medicine at a high price to provide his injured brother with better supplies? But later he felt that his brother was a burden and it wasn't worth it anymore." Lan Wu breathed a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes.

Yu Xing said: "He was already begging for death later, but his brother didn't let him die."

The indifferent tone without any touching awakened the two young people from their heavy hearts. Yu Xing took the diary and turned back a few pages.

Sun Yunyun was mentioned in the diary. Sun Yunyun didn't have much food to begin with, and he had to hand over a pound of rice for medical treatment.

It's not surprising that she would borrow half a catty of rice from a woman.

The earliest case of snatching clothes from a living person and throwing them out happened to a tailor's daughter. This girl was quite pitiful. She wore the clothes of a dead person without knowing it and was frightened. Her father was killed in the middle of the night.

When a girl is driven crazy, others can use the excuse of protecting their own safety to throw her out, but if they take away her clothes and throw her into the ice and snow outside, they will not even leave her a way to survive.

The residents at that time had already distorted their minds in the difficult living environment and began to become crazy and abnormal.

The reason why the younger brother poisoned "Uncle Huang" is currently unknown.

The twin brothers who injured their legs thought that they had been staying in the hotel for more than half a year and had not waited for rescue from the outside world. Was it really the supernatural power that caused the snowstorm that permanently cut off Nanshui Town from the outside world, or was it the outside world that rescued them? How many days have the residents spent half a year?

In addition, in the last few pages of the diary, the twin brother finally planned to attack his brother, but failed. Later, the twin brother wanted to die, but the younger brother refused to let him die.

The turning point is that the store owner saw the twin brothers doing it.

Because he was seen, how could he not let his brother die after that? Are the twin brothers worried about something? What does the store owner mean to these residents?

Store owner.

Not surprisingly, the store owner back then was the old man in the lobby now.

It's a pity that the old man doesn't remember anything.

【It’s almost one o’clock! 】

Suddenly, the branch he left in the hall to pay attention to the time sent a reminder back to him in his consciousness.

[It’s twelve fifty-seven, it’s twelve fifty-seven. 】

The three people who were watching Yu Xing turn the pages back and listening to him muttering to himself saw Yu Xing closing the diary, stuffing it back into his twin brother's arms, and said decisively: "Go back to the room."

"It's time!" When Zhang Yu saw Yu Xing nodding, he immediately ran out, ran into his room and closed the door in one go.

This is what they have already agreed on. Once Yu Xing says to go back to the room, the others should not hesitate to go back immediately, because Yu Xing does not have much time left for them. If they go slower, they will have to bear the consequences.

Lan Wu and Hua Subai disappeared into the corridor on the other side. Dark Star's two companions seemed to have returned to their rooms early.

Yu Xing closed the door of the twins, went back to the room and lay down, waiting for the scene that started at one o'clock in the morning to reappear.

Time jumped second by second, and the hour hand in the hall pointed to the hour. At that moment, the familiar cold feeling spread again, and there were a few more breaths in the empty room.

Those "people" who don't know what kind of existence they are are like rewinding and replaying the same drama, from the woman's cry to the death of the child, the blood spreads, the cold covers, and then everyone opens the door one after another...

"Which of you stole my medicine!"

A roar that was different from the previous round attracted Yu Xing's attention. He spread his branches and saw a tall man with an angry face. He stood in the center before everyone accused the woman. His red eyes caught everyone's attention. Stared again.

There was a huge wound on his left arm, which was wrapped with a bandage, and a faint red color smudged from the wound.

"Who has entered my room! That was the anti-inflammatory medicine I gave to the wound. My wound is infected! Who stole it! Hand it over to me!"

The strong man was so angry that he punched the wall next to him, causing the wall to crack.

"Blacksmith, I seem to see..." Someone in the crowd pointed hesitantly to the room belonging to Chen Run, "It seems that someone in this room has taken your medicine."

When the strong blacksmith heard this, he immediately walked over there aggressively. The others re-entered the rhythm of fighting for the woman's clothes. Only the blacksmith made a deviation.

Little did he know that Chen Run in the room was already frightened to death.

While resisting the hallucination that seemed to freeze every part of his body, he tried hard to listen to the sounds of the outside world.

Last time, it was because he was too focused on enduring the cold that he had no memory of what happened in the corridor and missed a lot of plot points. Now he only has one reliable teammate, and both of them must grasp every plot point.

Unexpectedly, I heard a rough voice asking where the medicine was with anger.

His heart was already sinking with a thump, and when he heard the blacksmith's undisguised footsteps getting closer and closer, until he stopped at the door of his room, his heartbeat was already racing at a high speed.

How could he still be mentioned when the scene reappeared? !

Aren’t these people’s memories supposed to be fixed?

At that point in time when the scene was repeated, no one should be right in the room he was in, let alone who said they saw him taking the medicine, how could they have seen it! When he searched, these people were obviously unconscious!

Hold!

He couldn't sit up, so he could only move his fingers with all his strength and threw a blood-stained glass ball to the door.

After the glass ball landed on the ground, it stayed still in place as solid as a rock, unfolding a special stance that made the simple room door and door frame fit perfectly.

The next second, the blacksmith slapped the door!

There was a loud bang and the wooden door shook. Chen Run suspected that without his sacrifice, the door would have been smashed by the blacksmith.

"Open the door!"

The blacksmith's voice was like a devil's voice urging death when his movement was restricted. If he were in another place, how could he, as a deduction, be afraid of a "person" who was just a little stronger?

Even if the opponent is a ghost, any struggle-level deducer with fighting ability can solve it!

Exactly in this case.

Chen Run finally understood why the rules gave them such harsh behavioral restrictions.

The glass ball trembled behind the door with the sound of the blacksmith banging on the door. Fortunately, it could hold on for a while.

He silently prayed in his heart that the farce outside would end soon, just like the first time. When the woman was pushed out of the corridor by others, everything would be reset.

Once he enters the free movement stage, he will definitely return the blacksmith's medicine to its original place as soon as possible.

At that time, he found the bottle of medicine under the guidance of the sticky note posted by the blacksmith, because the sticky note said that this bottle of medicine could help heal wounds.

There are sticky notes everywhere in the blacksmith's room. He seems to be a person with a very poor memory, so he needs to use sticky notes to remind himself of what he wants to do and where he puts the items.

Chen Run sensed the smell of props from the bottle of medicine, and thought that it was a prop that the deducers could take away. After all, it was like this in many deductions, and the props they found belonged to them.

The system didn't give him a prop prompt, and he didn't care. He had not experienced it before the props or sacrifice panels were introduced uniformly until the end of the mission.

I didn't expect that taking away the blacksmith's medicine would have such serious consequences.

"Hurry up, hurry up..." Chen Run was chanting crazily in his heart. He could already hear those people pulling on the woman's arm, because the woman kept crying that her arm hurt and was about to be pulled off.

The next move should be... to grab the woman's sweater, then drag her all the way and throw her out!

The scramble, which I had not paid much attention to before, became particularly slow at this time. People outside were arguing about who should own the clothes this time.

Everyone is shouting coldly.

Chen Run, who felt like he was freezing to death, also felt very cold.

He almost forgot where he was and thought he was a fish in the freezer, about to be frozen to death and slaughtered.

"boom!"

There was a crack in the glass ball, and the blacksmith's anger did not weaken at all. Instead, it grew stronger because of Chen Run's silence.

This dangerous crack made Chen Run wake up from his dream. He tilted his head in horror. As the glass ball cracked, a crack appeared in the door!

He thought dully that the door wouldn't hold up any longer.

The blacksmith is about to come in, and he will definitely grab him from the bed, and then he will be finished.

The noise in the corridor continued, and now it was time for everyone to clamor to expel the woman.

"Kaka——"

There are more and more cracks on the glass ball, and it may fall to pieces in the next second.

Chen Run heard the sound of a group of people dragging something.

It's just a little bit close, just a little bit close.

"Click——"

When the sphere was about to shatter, Chen Run couldn't care about anything. As long as he could hold it off for about twenty seconds, the scene would be reset and he would survive!

"Wait!" He kept lying down and shouted loudly, "Stop smashing it, I will return the medicine to you now!"

The banging on the door suddenly stopped.

Chen Run was delighted and continued to delay: "Don't smash my door! Without the door I will freeze to death. I'm sorry, I'm getting medicine. I'll give you some food to compensate. Please Don’t break down the door!”

The woman is dragged along the corridor, approaching the end of the reenactment of the scene.

The blacksmith outside the door suddenly laughed.

"So you're awake."

There was a sound from the doorknob, and immediately after, the glass ball was clearly not broken yet, but the door to the room was opened without any hindrance.

The glass ball behind the door rolled back toward him. Chen Run blinked and saw that the glass ball was as smooth as new.

No cracks at all!

There are no cracks on the door... there are no cracks on the door.

His brain, which had been frozen to the point of slowness, suddenly woke up from the panic. Chen Run realized - it was an illusion!

It was his hallucination that made him think the door was about to burst open.

And the system told them that when doing this side mission...

[Once found not "asleep", it will be regarded as a violation. 】

He took the initiative to speak and was discovered.

Because of the violation, the blacksmith opened his room without any hindrance. Even his glass ball props could not resist this rule.

The blacksmith's burly body appeared behind the open door, and the corridor seemed like a bloody world.

"No, no, you can't..." Chen Run was so tense that even the few steps the blacksmith took from the wooden bed were compared with the time it took for the woman to be thrown out.

"You didn't sleep." Different from the rage just now, the blacksmith's expression at this time was not like the blacksmith himself, but more like a strange butcher who approached with purpose when he found the lamb that violated the regulations.

Chen Run's pupils tightened and he activated the life-saving sacrifice on his body, but the blacksmith's hand passed through the energy of the sacrifice and grabbed his collar.

"No! Let me go!" Chen Run roared in despair, and then was grabbed by the blacksmith without any resistance.

He was thrown to the ground.

At this moment, some kind of protection shattered, and blood rushed towards him in the corridor.

"ah--!!!"

he screamed.

After the cry, everything fell silent.

Chen Run's eyes widened, watching the blood that had surged to his feet seep into the ground. The burly blacksmith disappeared, and everything in the corridor was empty.

After being stunned for half a minute, he realized that the coldness had subsided from his body at some point.

We caught up, just a little bit closer.

He...he survived!

…

Yu Xing witnessed this scene and narrowly escaped death, and thoughtfully took back the branch.

This man is lucky.

At that time, this man suddenly shouted for mercy. Was he seeing some kind of hallucination?

It seems that hallucinations are not limited to freezing.
