Absurd deduction game

The door of Fang Mansion opened with a creak and then closed slowly.

The three men, all beards and tails covered, and seemingly not injured at all, walked out in a majestic manner.

It wasn't dark outside yet, so if we calculated the time, it should be around four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

"Actually, your family is not as scary as you said." Medusa smiled as she walked back and forth. "Maybe it's because of the haze in your youth that your memory automatically demonized the entire family."

Yan Li followed her without saying a word, and Yu Xing casually said "hmm" with a slightly strange smile: "Maybe, this family is indeed... much weaker than I thought."

"Are you really not going to take your wood carving with you?"

"No, I'll be back in a day anyway. I'll have plenty of time to play carving in the future."

They just chatted casually and slowly walked away. Under the leadership of Yu Xing, this time there was no such thing as a ghost breaking the wall. They successfully crossed the snow-colored border line, and the cold wind Get up suddenly.

However, none of the three showed any discomfort with the cold. They walked along the road, and they didn't see any evil ghost townspeople along the way. They didn't know where those wandering townspeople had gone.

It wasn't until more than thirty minutes after they walked out that the sense of voyeurism following them quietly disappeared.

"..." The three of them stopped at the same time.

"No one is watching us now." Yan Li said calmly, with a firm tone.

"It's really troublesome. I have been focused on by that snake for a long time. Even if I sit there still, it will still stare at me." Medusa narrowed her beautiful eyes, very impatient, "I can only use the trick and do it from time to time. Do something to attract its attention and distract Yan Li from exploring Fang Mansion."

Yu Xing knew that this was meant for him, because Medusa and Yan Li had been staying together, and only the two of them needed to exchange information.

"Tell me, Yu Xing, how many things have you discovered?" Yan Li glanced at him, "To be able to walk out so calmly...could it be that you already know the secrets of Fang Mansion and have a way to deal with it?"

They had agreed before that no matter what they found during their trip to Fang Mansion this time, as long as it was related to the plot, they would share it.

Although it was Yu Xing who brought them in, and it was natural for them to share information, Yu Xing also took the initiative to agree to the proposal at that time, which was regarded as sincerity in cooperation.

Now this place can be considered a good place to talk. There is a factory next to it. After using their senses to detect it, they can confirm that there are no townspeople or evil spirits in the factory building.

Yu Xing raised his eyes to look at the horizon, then opened the unlocked window of the factory: "Go in and talk."

Next, it took him a while to finish telling the story of Fang Mansion and Nanshui Town, including the concepts of the book and the movie. He only concealed the role of the system in it and downplayed his importance as the youngest son of the Fang family. sex.

Rao, two experienced top deducers, both digested it silently for a moment after listening to this extremely complicated story mixed with family ethics.

"In other words, this town is fake, and the actual controller is a snake. However, the town is now out of control and will be destroyed in seven days. Therefore, our main task is to complete the task of surviving for seven days before the town is destroyed and escape early. Copy."

Medusa murmured to herself. As smart as she was, she naturally noticed any inconsistencies. For example, when Snake controlled Fang Xiao, she found that the town was out of control, so she wanted to find the youngest son of the Fang family to continue to be a puppet. Fortunately, Yu It’s here. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?

However, the matter involved the system, and she felt slightly trembling. She swallowed the question with a tacit understanding, and without asking any more questions, she suddenly thought:

"Nanshui Town is a 'movie' scene. As characters in the movie, wouldn't our words and deeds be noticed by the snake?"

Not panic, but confusion.

If this was the case, it would be impossible for them to stand here and communicate for so long, and there was also the matter of Yu Xing being the youngest son of the Fang family, and it would not be possible for him to take the initiative to go to the Fang Mansion to be discovered.

"I have such concerns, but the snake girl's sight was so obvious just now, you two can also feel it." Yu Xing has not thought about this matter, "If it can really sense every scene at any time, there is no need Pay attention to us in person at Fang Mansion."

"I prefer that its control lies more in the role of the townspeople. It usually lets the townspeople do things for it and does not pay attention to it. Only when the townspeople call it, will it go to the townspeople to solve problems."

"Even if it wants to actively observe an object, such as me - it needs to have townspeople or other created characters present to observe through the eyes of those things."

This is where the movie falls short of the book.

The stronger the control over the townspeople, the better, but because the townspeople tend to be assimilated and have no unique behavioral logic of their own, it is impossible to create a story that can develop on its own.

Although Snake's move solved the short-term problem, it sacrificed the basics and ruined the future of "Nanshui Town Small World".

"That's good." Medusa curled her red lips, "That way I can safely scold that dead snake. It scratched me and I haven't even settled the score with it yet!"

Yu Xing chuckled: "The one in Fang Mansion is much stronger than what you saw before. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to settle accounts with it."

Medusa blinked blankly, and gently brushed the wound on her waist with her fingernails painted with cork: "Hmph, so what, I can pluck out one of its tongues, and then chop off its tail."

Yan Li didn't know what they were talking about, and could only guess where Medusa's waist injury came from through a few words.

He glanced at Yu Xing from the corner of his eye.

What he didn't know, Yu Xing knew so clearly. When he thought about it, he understood that these things must be included in the memories transmitted to Yu Xing by Medusa.

When he mentioned transferring memories, he thought of the scene he was forced to "fantasize" before.

Suddenly, the veins on his forehead began to throb.

Let’s change the topic first.

"You wanted to destroy the shooting equipment and end the dungeon early, so you pretended to seize power from Fang Xiao, temporarily stabilized the Snake Girl, and invited Fang Xiao to participate in the Ruixue Festival tomorrow..." Yan Li leaned against the wall, raised his eyes and said, "But what will happen next?"

He also felt that the focus of the task was too much on Yu Xing, but his expression did not change at all and he discussed Yu Xing's plan in a good-natured manner.

"If I go well, Fang Xiao will not come tomorrow." Yu Xing curled his lips, "There is a high probability that I will disappear halfway through the participation."

"...If it's you, it's okay if you don't do the main plot. The rules that can punish you are not set by the system, and Nan Shui is calm. As long as the snake opens the back door for you, you can make any mistakes." Yan Li nodded first and then said, "We also discovered something, but for you, it shouldn't be important."

On the surface, he and Medusa were always with the old gardener except sleeping in the guest room.

The old gardener was actually monitoring them in the name of teaching wood carving, but they were not restrained by this. It was only troublesome that an extremely dangerous gaze from the dark glanced at Medusa from time to time.

Medusa knew the aura behind this sight, and knew that the snake girl she had fought with paid special attention to her because of her hatred, so she released a small snake shadow every once in a while, driving the shadow towards Fang Mansion. Exploring in all directions, the aura will always be attracted to the little snake, and it will kill the little snake before it can swim far.

Yan Li, taking advantage of Medusa's attention, continued the carving work on his hands, while distracting his mind, he investigated the courtyards and rooms that were most likely to be ignored one by one, and even the details of each room. None of the cabinets were spared.

——His recent focus on attacking formations does not mean that other abilities will fall behind, otherwise he would be an all-round deduction.

Those empty yards looked abandoned for a long time, as if no one had lived in them for a long time. However, the furnishings in the rooms were not empty. It was more like a long time ago, the people who lived here disappeared overnight, and even the rooms were gone. Nobody cares.

"I found several diaries in those rooms, and the Fang family members were walking around the town office, trying not to open the records of the Fang Mansion." Just in case, Yan Li did not take those things out, but wrote down the contents. In the mind.

"Based on the stories you heard, I can confirm that those were things before Fang Deming got the book, so the Fang family members who originally lived in those rooms should have been liquidated by Fang Deming because of their discordant beliefs."

In other words, he was liquidated by the snake girl.

"Besides, I also took a tour of Xu Wan's room." Yan Li said.

Yu Xing was a little surprised: "When?"

"Before you go to Xu Wan's room." Yan Li paused, "She didn't stay in the room all the time. I sensed that she went out and went to the Fang Mansion warehouse."

"I didn't plan to rush in like this at the time, but the warehouse was a bit far away from her room. As long as I was careful, the snake girl's perception would be ineffective against me, so I didn't give up the opportunity and went straight in to search."

"I looked through the entire house and didn't see the paint box gift you mentioned. Then she probably went to the warehouse to get a gift for you."

He took the opportunity to slip in.

Because he is a conscious body, he moves very lightly when rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and every place will be restored to its original state. Therefore, Xu Wan, who came back, did not notice that the entire room had been touched.

There is more to gain from Xu Wan's room than from other unimportant cannon fodder Fang's family rooms.

He found a photo album in the drawer of Xu Wan's dressing table, which contained photos taken by Xu Wan when she was a star with her true appearance.

Some of the photos have turned yellow, but this does not damage the beauty and cheerfulness of the women in the photos.

"She still has the dream of becoming a star." Yan Li said, "She has a lot of movie peripherals hidden in her cabinet. There were few movie peripherals a few decades ago. She did not hesitate to spend her own money to find businessmen outside Nanshui Town to make them. Ask someone to distribute it outside the town.”

It seemed that she was unwilling to accept the injury.

She loves her career as an actress, and even though she is married to Fang Deming, she still wants to create the illusion of becoming famous all over the country, and deceive herself that she has not passed away.

"So she was probably involved in changing Nanshui Town into a movie." Medusa was the most sensitive to women's thoughts. She smiled, "What a sad woman, because all the glory she once had was with her body change. She has become 'someone else', and now she has nothing more than before."

That dazzling movie star is Xu Wan.

Now this woman, in front of the townspeople, is a being that even Fang Deming would not call her by name in public. She has gained youth and beauty, but lost her title as an actress. It is difficult for her to accept.

"She may have made some kind of deal with Snake Girl. Otherwise, Xu Wan doesn't have the blood of the Fang family, and Snake Girl wouldn't let Xu Wan serve as a consultant just to change the movie, so she would be given such a high status."

Otherwise, the book can be changed into a play, a game, a comic, etc., why does it have to be a movie?

"Even her body was remade by Snake herself. It took several years. How many innocent women died for this body?" Medusa snorted coldly, "I finally know why she is in the townspeople's house. When I got married, that disgusting old woman wanted me to be a movie star.”

"Because if I am assimilated and 'voluntarily' stay in the town, I will become a real movie character like them. Maybe...Xu Wan will try to reshape the body again, and this time it won't be so troublesome. Just use my body."

What Medusa said sounded very arrogant at first glance.

But no one could refute her. After all, as long as she stood here, she was already more eye-catching than the appearance that Xu Wan had painstakingly pieced together.

In terms of appearance, how lucky a woman must be to be able to look like this, inherit the perfect genes from her parents, and not become disabled in the future.

Normally, Medusa rarely mentions her appearance, because her current strength is enough to cover everything that appearance brings to her. This comparison is only possible because the ghost Xu Wan is too special.

And when it comes to this, the three people present thought of one thing.

"She also wants to be a star subconsciously. If she has your body..." Yu Xing muttered, "Xu Wan is not of the Fang family. Although she has experienced the cognitive distortion of the snake girl in the Fang Mansion, the unique Fang family blood The restrictions have no effect on her, so she can actually leave Nanshui Town."

Her consciousness is imprisoned, but her body is free.

"Maybe she actually has plans to become a star outside Nanshui Town again." Yan Li's eyes were cold. "Since Snake Girl keeps her, she must be useful to such a special person. If Snake Girl is to take Xu Wan Use it as your own body reserve. When Nanshui Town stabilizes and returns to star status, and then uses the screen to create remote cognitive erosion for more people, the seeds of destruction will be sown for the entire world."

[ah? Does this all talk about the world’s annihilation event line? ]

[Although what the big guys said makes sense, if the matter can be solved this time, there will be no subsequent disasters. ]

[If a snake becomes a star, there will be such big consequences? ]

Yu Xing thinks so.

He also thought about it. The snake girl was trying to steal the system's creation authority. She wanted this authority, but now she only controlled a town with no living people.

If it was just for such a small goal, Snake Girl wouldn't need to spend so much effort.

Unless she is planning something bigger, for example, using Nanshui Town as an experiment and Xu Wan as a medium, she will gradually control people all over the world, knowing that the world is completely under her control.

Naturally, this is extremely difficult to do. After all, the world is very big, and there are many people who can be selected by the system as deduction copies. Xiao Qianyue may already be one of the highest-ranking ghosts, but there must be someone better than her. Fighting.

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, this is probably a dream of the snake girl.

"Anyway, there are changes tomorrow. Let's go back to Baibao Street first, gather all your people, and discuss it together." Yan Li finally made the final decision.

Here, Yu is lucky to have Zhang Yu, and Hua Subai is there, Medusa has Lan Wu, and only Yan Li is here, so he is completely alone.

The discussion he mentioned was just to let other people who were identified as allies know what they would face tomorrow, to arrange points reasonably, and to give an early warning to avoid any unexpected situation that would delay them.

Moreover, I don’t know how the lucky card activity is going now.

No one could see them at this time. Yan Li saw that the information transaction was completed and began to prepare the formation for the return journey.

There was a slight deviation in the position of his teleportation array when he came here, so he wouldn't make any mistakes when he returned, and would only be faster and more accurate.

Not long after, a faint light escaped from the factory, and all three people inside disappeared.

…

Treasure Street.

Although the town has undergone so many changes, this is the only street that has remained the same.

Speaking of which, in terms of specialness, this Baibao Street can be ranked third in Nanshui Town.

The top two are Fangfu and Dong District Port.

The shops on Baibao Street are all weird, and even the shop owners are very different from the outside townspeople.

Especially after learning the truth about Nanshui Town's worldview, looking back, we can find more clues.

The female owner of the ready-made clothing store in red slept from dawn to dusk. No matter how noisy the street was, it seemed that it had nothing to do with her. She just lay on the recliner behind the counter. Even if one or two people occasionally came into the store to look at clothes, they would still be there. Not saying hello.

The skylight gradually dimmed, and the oil lamp on the counter suddenly lit up on its own, forming a faint glow in the dim light and shadow.

The female boss was reluctant to open her eyes, slowly sat up from the recliner, and looked at the people coming and going on the street.

She looked at it for a while, but she wasn't very interested. The people walking on the street were all empty shells without souls, and only the occasional hurried tourists passing by her store were interesting.

But there were too few people today, and it was far less lively than last night.

Will these people be killed without leaving any trace?

The female boss yawned and thought boredly.

Judging from the time she perceived, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Every time people passed by her store, they were holding lucky cards or dolls. The former rushed to the sacred tree to list their cards, while the latter were looking for doll merchants on the street to prepare. Secure the merchant's position before the specified game submission time to avoid trouble again.

However, too few of those who took the dolls came back.

The female boss counted the numbers, and found that more people who chose to make lucky cards came back from abroad, and there were a few who went together. But the one holding the doll wandering around on the street so far was the guy with the double sword. , seems to be... called the mongoose knife, right?

Oh, that's not necessarily the case. Earlier, when it was still daylight, she sensed three dolls passing by in her sleep. She glanced at them casually and found that they were the three most intimidating people in the tour group. But these The three of them disappeared after getting the dolls and did not intend to take advantage of the extra time to deal with the merchants.

The female boss almost forgot that they were back.

On the other hand, other tourists, even if they have found all the key items in today's game, are still running around Baibao Street, chatting with various merchants, asking around corners "Is there anything I can help with", as long as the merchants ask. , whether the passengers feel embarrassed or relaxed, they will definitely agree.

She also heard two passengers muttering as they passed by: "5,000 points is still too difficult, how are we going to survive tomorrow..."

"Shh," one of them had a keen sense and noticed that the female boss was looking at them, and immediately told his companion to be silent so that she wouldn't hear him.

Female boss: "..." She has heard a lot.

Oh, I really thought she would be curious. It was just a plaything that was going to die anyway. She took a second look at it, but it just felt fresh.

Besides, other people were asking around, but no one came to ask her if she needed help. Maybe they felt that she had been in the clothing store for a long time last night, so she must not have more secrets to dig out?

Not interesting.

The female boss lay down again and continued her boring life day after day. Unexpectedly, she had only been lying down for a few minutes when something strange happened.

"Hey~" The man standing in front of the counter is also dressed in red. The wide robe and large sleeves of Fenglong suit do not look heavy and cumbersome on this man, but appear particularly light and elegant.

At first glance, this man seemed like a natural fit for her clothing store. He was just like a human-shaped clothes rack, promoting her clothes.

The female boss was deeply impressed by this man.

It was this person who transformed from a piece of rag into a healthy living person under her gaze, and then also solved the passenger who illegally entered the backyard.

He whispered to her last night that he would help her kill those who broke the rules, but the price was that she would never mention the violation to the tour guide again.

This morning, the tall man carrying the scissors did not appear.

The female boss calmed down the irritation of being disturbed on her face and sat up from the recliner: "Why are you here again?"

Only then did she realize that although the man in front of her was wearing the most formal ceremonial attire, his movements were extremely casual. He put one hand on the counter and had a smile on his face that naturally conveyed a sense of intimacy, as if he was still flirting with women on the wedding day. Romantic dandy.

There was a big cloth bag on his back that he got from nowhere. It was full of stuff. Those who didn't know it thought he had gone to collect waste on foot.

Hua Subai said: "I have a favor and I want my boss to help me. I wonder if my boss is willing?"

The female boss looked at him in surprise: "Others are asking if there is anything they need help with. How about you come up and ask me to help you?"

"Others are others, and I am me." Huasu Bai smiled and moved from the counter to the shop, "I thought for a long time, the most trustworthy shopkeeper on this street is you, so I want to I leave such an important matter to you."

trust?

This word made the female boss twitch her lips. When would she be able to trust an outsider? Is this person out of his mind?

However, regardless of whether he is a bad brain or not, he is really too strong. The female boss did not dare to refuse too directly, so she had to ask: "What's the matter? If it's too troublesome, don't count on me."

"It shouldn't be too much trouble." Hua Subai put down the big cloth bag that he had carried all the way. The big bulging package seemed to burst the bag at any time.

"Well, that's it. It's inconvenient for me to carry it, so I want to leave it with the boss and pick it up tomorrow." He clasped his hands together and said, "Please, boss?"

The female boss looked more and more weird, and asked coldly: "What's in it?"

Huasuku paused for a moment, and then, as if he just remembered, he opened the tie at the mouth of the bag in front of the female boss.

Wow…

In an instant, a lot of things inside popped out uncontrollably. Some fell on the ground in the shop, some just bounced onto the recliner, and one hit the female boss in the face with great skill.

Hua Subai: "Oh hoo."

Female boss: "..."

Annoyed, she picked up the thing that slipped from her face and took a look at it.

It's a doll.

A game target doll with black hair, blue eyes, and dressed in smart clothes.

Looking at the ground, the things leaking out of the cloth bags were lying or lying on their faces. They were all dolls, exactly the same dolls.

Looking at the quantity, there are eighty without the ninety in the bag.

"You actually brought all the dolls?!" She was shocked.

Hua Subai silently picked up all the dolls, put them back into the bag with gentle movements, and tied the rope, leaving only the female boss holding this one.

He showed a smile that was obviously really happy and raised his eyebrows: "This is my harvest for the day. I asked the guide and she said that the dolls found in today's game can belong to the travelers themselves."

Taking back the last one from the female boss's hand, Hua Subai poked the doll's face: "I'll just use this one to do business, and then take it to the hotel to sleep~"

Female boss: "...I can't tell that you are quite girly and want a baby to sleep with you."

"The main thing is that it's very interesting." Hua Subai poked the doll again. The doll didn't move, but the Yu Xing-like feeling still made Hua Subai unable to put it down.

"The remaining eighty-six can be stored with the boss, okay?"

The female boss originally thought that he had packed a bag of dangerous goods - although she couldn't quite figure out what dangerous goods were, she probably had an intuition. She always felt that the person in front of her was full of danger and would not do things according to the rules.

I didn’t expect it to be a bag of dolls.

This thing...let alone letting her go for one night, even if she was let go for a year, it would not violate her rules. In other words, there is no problem in helping.

However, just agreeing like this always seemed like she was too useless. In the past, those outsiders and tourists, who were not afraid of her to death?

But this person is even more bizarre. With his true theory ability, she is afraid that he is the one who will die. Does she have the qualifications not to agree?

The female boss was hesitant to speak, but she was hesitant to speak. Finally, she was defeated by Hua Subai's expectant eyes, and she only said: "I have a condition."

"You said?" Hua Subai tilted his head.

"I have a few questions to ask you. If you tell me the truth, I will help you. If you don't answer me, I will pretend to promise you and throw all your dolls on the street in the middle of the night to get dirty."

The threat was indifferent, and it could be regarded as a sign of weakness by the female boss. Unexpectedly, it seemed to have touched Hua Subai's pain point, and his face changed drastically: "How can that be done? The little doll can't listen to this!"

Female boss: "..." Could it be that you have to be mentally ill to survive in Nanshui Town?

Hua Subai cleared his throat: "If you ask, I will tell you everything. I just ask the boss to treat my little dolls better."

For a moment, the female boss regretted asking him a question. Is he really reliable?

After all, curiosity defeated hesitation, and she spoke cautiously: "I want to know why your tour group is so special?"

It seems that each one has its own ability.

None of the outsiders in the past were like this.

"Do you have any other purpose besides traveling?"

"How sure are you?"

There were only these three questions in total. After the female boss asked them, her face became gloomy and she was obviously nervous.

"Ah, it's this kind of problem." Hua Subai opened his eyes slightly, moved closer to the female boss, and looked at her carefully for a moment.

That look was like studying some rare species.

The female boss was unfazed by the handsome face approaching her, she just frowned and said, "Are you going to answer?"

"Yeah... you can answer it, but do you really want to hear the answer?" Hua Subai stepped back a little and sighed like a joke, "The characters in the book really have their own characteristics, unlike now, they are all the same, like the walking dead."

The female boss stared at him fiercely: "You know?"

"Bu Cai, I saw through the little trick yesterday, but I still found it interesting and there were acquaintances to watch, so I stayed." If Hua Subai had a fan in his hand, he would have already waved it to show off. So elegant.

It's a pity that he doesn't have any clothes, so his words about Zou Zou only add a little joy.

However, the way the female boss looked at him had changed, and she was as shocked as the explosive barrage in his live broadcast room.

[Wait, how does he know about the book and movie? ]

[Didn’t he go to Fang Mansion? Where did he get the information? ! ]

[He said he saw through it yesterday... Is it true? How did he do it? Not only can you see the essence of Nanshui Town, but it can even be accurate to the book and movie? ! ]

[ah? What books and movies are there, what is Big Brother Hua saying, and what are you talking about? ]

Those who were discussing in the front were all people who had watched Yu Xing, Yan Li, and Medusa's live broadcast room, while those in the back were confused people who had stayed in Huasubai's live broadcast room from beginning to end.

Judging from the latter's reaction, you can tell that Hua Subai didn't meet any events or characters that could analyze the world view today!

At this moment, the barrage began to communicate, trying to let the local viewers of Huasubai's live broadcast room also understand the nature of this copy.

Just when the barrage was bustling, Hua Subai smiled again and said: "Because I know what happened in Nanshui Town, I think the boss is a trustworthy person."

"...Why?" The female boss couldn't help but ask.

"This is the fourth question~" Hua Subai said rudely first. No matter how serious the female boss looked, he would always look calm and unconcerned, "I guess Nanshui Town has gone through two periods. , the merchants of Baibao Street are the people who were created in the first period, right?"

[this! This refers to the period of the book and the people in the world written by Fang Deming! ]

"Those townspeople are characters from the second period who have lost themselves and 'evolved' into tools for those who control them."

[This this! This is the period of cinema, when the characters are all reduced to empty shells of puppets! ]

"You are different from the townspeople in this town. You are the only one who still retains independent logic and thinking. You are a small number and have a special status."

Hua Subai asked: "Did all your characters in the book period be destroyed when Nanshui Town was transformed from the book to the movie? Because you were not obedient enough?"

"Among so many people, only those who have absorbed a certain amount of ghost energy and turned into ghosts when the world changes shape remain. The guy who controls all of this can't destroy you for the time being, and he can't bear to waste you, so he put you all in He ordered Baibao Street to let you live on this street and not allow you to ruin his good deeds."

[ah? And this thing? ]

[This will explain why the female owner of the ready-to-wear shop and other merchants have their own ideas! ]

"Not only that, the controller who has gradually become aware of your abilities has decided to let you make the best use of your abilities, such as causing death to the passengers this time and helping him accept the lives of outsiders..."

[I see! Equivalent to an elite monster! ]

[The elite monster on the horse is really amazing]

"The reason why I trust you is because you are a town citizen in the book period, and your knowledge belongs only to you. Although you are obviously a ghost, whatever thoughts you have are your own, and you will not suddenly fall out because of a certain idea. ."

Hua Subai spread his hands: "It is true that all the merchants on this street can do this, but you are the only one who gave me the feeling that you don't want to cooperate with the controller, so you are passive and immersed in sleep."

The female boss was speechless after hearing this.

Because the person in front of me is right in every word!

Can an outsider really obtain so much information in just two days... no, one day? Some information is even impossible to obtain and can only be guessed.

"Your expression makes me more sure." Hua Subai went around in a circle and then came back: "So the three questions you asked me are to confirm how capable this passenger is and what he can do. I can’t take you away from Nanshui Town, or directly end the vision in Nanshui Town, because you feel that if you don’t succeed this time, there will be no hope in the future.”

The female boss was silent for a long time.

Hua Subai seemed not to know what he just said, and blinked innocently: "Now... do you still need me to answer questions?"

"No need." Her voice was decisive and hoarse, "I will look after this big bag of dolls for you, so don't worry."

"You wouldn't throw them out on the street in the middle of the night and get dirty, would you?"

Female boss: "...No."

"That's great."

After handing over the Yu Xing peripherals he had worked so hard to collect to the care of the female boss, Hanasuku Bai achieved his goal and was about to slip away in a single step.

The female boss didn't stop him, and just watched his figure disappear deeper into Baibao Street.

Then I remembered something.

There are so few tourists taking back dolls. Could it be because this guy plundered all the dolls by himself?

If there are just a few fish that slip through the net, it will be more than twice as difficult for other tourists to find them.

He really doesn't care about the life or death of others.

…

At the end of Baibao Street, there are no shops, only a narrow gravel road with stretches of flowers on both sides.

The gravel path is only about ten meters long, and the sea of ​​flowers is swaying low. The tree known as the sacred tree is not blocked at all, and it just stands there quietly.

The "sacred tree" is not big, at least it is not as majestic as a towering tree. It is only as tall as two adults. It has a thick base and sinks into the soil like a skirt. Its roots are not completely buried in the ground, but spread visibly to the naked eye. A distance of more than one meter.

The trunk is twisted, almost spiral-shaped, but generally straight upwards. When it reaches the crown, it suddenly branches out into countless branches, like a group of snakes swimming in mid-air.

If the trunk and branches of this tree already make people feel weird and uncomfortable, and even the sea of ​​pink flowers on the ground can't cover up the aggressiveness it exudes, then the blood-red leaves still hanging on the tree in the middle of winter will not shy away from this weirdness. Promote it to the extreme.

The color of each leaf is so thick that it rustles when the wind blows, as if the blood in the "sacred tree" is flowing.

This tree is very ominous.

On the lowest part of the branches, in addition to the blood-red leaves, there are also a few faded old prayer plaques hanging sparsely. The tassels on the wooden plaques hang low and are made so long for some unknown reason, just like gurgling water flowing down from the trees. Blood waterfall.

"Captain, you have been staring at the sacred tree for a long time. Is there a big problem with it?"

Excluding the sacred tree and the sea of ​​flowers, the closest thing to the sacred tree is an open-air tea stall.

It was already dark, and the tea stall owners lit up many oil lamps to make their property as bright as day.

Several deducers who had finished the blessing card game chose to sit at the tea stall for a while, observing the sacred tree from a distance, waiting for eight o'clock to arrive.

——Yu Xing, who had been back to Baibao Street for a while, was also there, occupying a square table with four corners. Sitting at the same table were Zhang Yu and Lan Wu, and there was still an empty table.

Medusa was gone, and Lan Wu was entrusted to Yu Xing like a kindergarten child. He became familiar with it once and twice, and he became more and more proficient in this behavior of hand-off shopkeeper.

Yu Xing didn't mind either. He was happy to let the shopkeeper know who he was. Didn't he also let Zhang Yu follow Xue Shouyun twice? Now Xue Shouyun has received a side mission inside Baibao Street and is working hard to earn points at the Zhiyuan Shop in the town. Otherwise, the vacant seat should be hers.

At first, Yu Xing couldn't believe that Medusa and Yan Li were on different teams. Now that they have cooperated once, they can be sure that at least they will be tied to death allies in this dungeon, so taking care of Lan Wu is equivalent to taking care of one of his own. .

At this time, Lan Wu was lying on the table in a daze.

When Zhang Yu saw that his captain didn't say anything, he held his chin and tilted his head to stare at the sacred tree. The pressure gradually increased, so he asked such a question.

Yu Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, not sure whether he heard it or not, but he didn't answer anyway.

"Captain, captain, please pay attention to me, or I will start to get scared." Zhang Yu whispered, and boldly poked Yu Xing's arm.

At this time, Yu Xing finally looked back at him, which confirmed that he was so absorbed in looking at the tree just now that he didn't even hear what Zhang Yu said: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yu lowered his voice and said nervously: "I mean, the captain has been staring at the sacred tree for so long, does he realize that it is dangerous?"

Yu Xing: "Oh, that's not the case."

Zhang Yu just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yu Xing say: "It's not dangerous for me, but it's quite annoying for those of you who want to put up signs."

"?"

These words woke up Lan Wu. The white-haired young man rubbed his eyes and sat up straight: "What did Captain Yu Xing see?"

"Curse." Yu Xing didn't hide it either. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "If you hang up the sign, you will have to accept the backlash of your wish, and you will be cursed."

"Ah? Is it serious? Is it fatal? Is it a level that you, Captain, can lift?"

Ignoring Zhang Yu's question, Yu Xing just chuckled: "Interesting, it stole from more than one family."

Books are the power of systematic homology.

The "sacred tree" in front of me not only has the ability to curse, but also looks like a group of snakes. It also looks like a hybrid product.

This snake girl from Nanshui Town can definitely learn to grow hybrid rice.

More than an hour late! But this is considered an update on 5.25, and will be updated as usual on the 26th.

In this state lately, I know without even looking that my aunt is coming to visit. The few days before each visit are the most annoying, but after she comes, it becomes much better ヽ(‘⌒メ)ノ
