Absurd deduction game

As soon as it got dark, the people queuing up outside the Baishou Hall disappeared unknowingly.

Zhao Mou rubbed his shoulders and looked thoughtfully at the empty front of the hall.

He spent most of the day today getting used to the work of a doctor. He thought he had figured out "Dr. Zhao" thoroughly and summarized many reasonable ways to fish. It would be much easier from tomorrow on.

There were many more patients in Fengtou Town than he had imagined. Most of them suffered from injuries such as broken legs and arms. Some of them were not in line with the peaceful atmosphere of the town. When asked, they were all "accidental".

He originally thought that he would be busy for a while tonight, at least until after dinner——

Unexpectedly, the crowd that had been crowded just now dispersed in the blink of an eye. However, they did not leave in a hurry. The patients seemed to realize that after dark, they forgot that they were still sick and walked home naturally. .

strangeness.

Is there a rule in this place that prohibits walking around at night? But when he inquired about information during the day, no one mentioned this.

Just as he was thinking about it, Er Hong walked out from the back room: "Doctor Zhao, this lady is awake and she wants to see you."

After speaking, he turned sideways, revealing a weak-looking Siren behind him.

"...Doctor, can I talk to you about my physical condition?"

Zhao Mou smiled: "Of course. Erhong, go to the warehouse to sort out the medicinal materials and check today's accounts. I'll ask you to come back."

"Oh, okay." Erhong is a clever child. Hearing that Dr. Zhao had something to say to the female patient, he ran away in a hurry.

The siren looked at the empty main room, suspicion flashing in her eyes. She walked carefully to Zhao Mou, making sure no one was watching, and then asked, "What's the situation now?"

Zhao Mou moved a stool for her and told her all the intelligence found so far and the summarized information.

Then he asked, "Are you okay? Of all the deducers, you are the only one who has slept until now. I'm afraid you won't wake up."

"Bah, bah, bah, why can't I wake up?" Siren curled his lips, "I really want to wake up, I have been dreaming, and my brain is confused."

Dream?

Seeing that the fatigue remained in Siren's eyes, Zhao Mou straightened his expression and said, "Tell me."

"I dreamed about the sedan girl." Siren's first sentence contained a huge amount of information. She rubbed her temples and recalled, "That dream took me to relive the experience of the sedan girl. Because of the industry When the river floods, people think it's 'Jiang Chong' who is angry... Oh, those people regard Jiang Chong as something like the river god, and then they think of the legend of the river god marrying a bride."

When the first person mentioned this legend...

The fate of the sedan girl has been determined.

In the dream, he offered a bride as tribute to Jiang Chong and prayed for Ye Jiang to calm down his anger. This stupid suggestion was approved by many richly dressed people.

Then the sedan girl was decorated by the rich, put on the most luxurious wedding dress, and took with her genuine gold and silver hairpins, and was thrown into the river on the most beautiful day.

"When I was still a sedan girl, I had already guessed the direction of this story." Siren frowned, "But in the real world, I became 'Master Feng's great-granddaughter.'"

Zhao Mou's eyes trembled.

"What have you become?"

This afternoon, many people who came to the medical center mentioned Master Feng's birthday, and he had included it in the intelligence scope.

Master Feng is eighty years old this year. When everyone was discussing, it seemed that Master Feng's family members had not been mentioned. They did not expect the siren to come to such an event.

"Great-granddaughter, I have become a great-granddaughter." Siren muttered these three words helplessly. She didn't want to, especially after the seven words "Master Feng's great-granddaughter", there was a bracket, and a barrage of negative information.

[Deducer Bai Yunmo, your identity in the real world is: Master Feng’s great-granddaughter (cursed)]

[The personal mission "Escape from the sedan chair and go to Fengtou Town" has been abolished, the sacrifice column is unblocked, and the abilities are unblocked. 】

[Hint: You have been cursed by the sedan girl (ghost). 】

[Special reminder: Hush, don’t be discovered by Fengfu’s eyes! 】

The siren checked the system prompt panel as soon as she woke up. She could still understand being cursed by the sedan girl. Perhaps it was because of the curse that she played such an unlucky role in the stage world. Everyone fails to face the danger. She didn't have the chance.

But what is a closed mansion? Can't be seen because once discovered, Fengfu will hunt her down?

It wasn't until she heard Zhao Mou talk about Master Feng's birthday that she realized that Feng Mansion might still be a place that couldn't be circumvented in this deduction. Master Feng was suspected of being a big boss, and she, a great-granddaughter, not only failed to get any benefits, but was even worse than others. People are more careful.

She was about to die. What sin had she committed?

Siren directly read the identity reminder to Zhao Mou, and Zhao Mou's face was unusually serious, not only because of Siren's luck, but also because of the Fengfu's attitude towards this great-granddaughter.

Judging from the system prompts, the Kraken is obviously in danger.

If Master Feng is the boss, he should be the opposite of the sedan girl who was innocently thrown into the river. But the sedan girl cursed the sea monster, and Feng Mansion also wanted to be detrimental to the sea monster.

How could the two opposites target a "great-granddaughter" so unanimously?

Even if we don't think about this first, the words "Pandan Girl" (Ghost) on the panel are very revealing.

The sedan girl in the stage world appeared in the real world, and she did die, but her soul still remains here.

Under what circumstances will the ghost of the sedan girl appear?

Zhao Mou was thinking when he heard the Siren ask: "I'm a little scared now. Brother, is your Baishou Hall reliable? Can I survive one night here safely?"

Zhao Mou: "..."

"Honestly, if you asked this question half an hour ago, my answer should be 'reliable, yes'."

Siren's eyelashes trembled: "What now?"

Zhao Mou: "I can't do it now. I just discovered that something is wrong after the storm falls at night."

In addition to Dr. Zhao, Baishou Tang also has the owner of the medical clinic and another Dr. Liu, as well as a waiter and two apprentices.

Er Hong works here purely and does chores, while the other two apprentices study here. Currently they can only learn to sort medicinal materials and prepare medicine for emergency patients.

Zhao Mou noticed that Dr. Liu left work before it got dark. Erhong and the apprentice looked as normal, indicating that Dr. Liu usually left at this point.

But the normal closing time of Baishoutang should be eight o'clock in the evening.

It’s more than five o’clock now at best.

The siren followed and looked out the door.

They only talked for a while, and it was already dark outside.

Red lanterns were lit one after another in the alley, illuminating a small area in front of each house. There was no one on the street, and there was no smell of the aroma of food that should be permeated during meals.

The wooden door of Baishou Hall was blown by the wind and creaked.

Siren has never seen Fengtou Town in the daytime, but he feels that the atmosphere is in line with the usual style of the deduction. It is spooky and ghostly at first glance.

Zhao Mou's feelings became more obvious as he watched the smoke of the fireworks disappear. His mind never stopped thinking, analyzing various possibilities.

Do the people in Fengtou Town know that problems can occur at night? But the emotions they expressed during the day were not at all like the emotions of people disturbed by the dangers of the night.

However, the question about the large number of trauma patients can be answered. Most of them were injured at night.

"boom."

The buildings around the medical center heard the sound of closing doors one after another. Zhao Mou stood up and walked to the door and looked out. Every house had closed its doors, making the medical center the only place with an open door particularly conspicuous.

"Why don't we close the door, or call your waiter out? He works here every day, and he must know what to do." The siren secretly suggested, apparently because he was afraid that a man in red would appear on the street. The female ghost in wedding clothes followed the open door and came to look for her.

When Zhao Mou heard that it made sense, he went to the back and called Er Hong.

When he called for help, he saw the two young apprentices from the medical center lying next to the extinguished medicine stove, sleeping with their mouths open.

For some reason, the two of them seemed tired all day long, as if they had been squeezed by the medical clinic, even though Zhao Mou didn't let them do much.

Compared with the two of them, Erhong looked like a hard-working little bee. When she ran to the front hall, she still had a ledger in her hand and looked at Zhao Mou and Siren in a daze.

"...I just fell ill a while ago. I just woke up this morning and saw people for another day. Now I am a little tired." Zhao Mou said after considering, "You will stay in the front hall today. What do you want? Just watch and make your own decision.”

"Oh, yes, thank you for your hard work, Dr. Zhao." Er Hong's eyes turned red instantly, "You are so weak and yet you have been busy all day. How kind a doctor is! You can prescribe a prescription and I will decoct it for you. !”

Zhao Mou: No need.

Just as a gust of wind blew in from the door, he coughed twice "weakly". Siren thought for a moment and pretended to pat his back: "Oh, Doctor Zhao, you should also pay attention to your health. , otherwise the little girl will also feel distressed~"

"Cough cough cough!!" Zhao Mou choked suddenly, and the fake cough instantly became real. He closed his eyes, thinking that the siren could really say anything in order to stay in the medical center as a matter of course.

Erhong took a look and opened his eyes wide.

It turns out that this young lady in poor health has fallen in love with Dr. Zhao!

This is really a happy event.

Erhong pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers and sat down in front of the hall a little awkwardly.

Seeing that he didn't object to the open door, Siren took advantage of the fact that he was not from the medical center and asked directly: "Huh? I see that other people's houses are closed. Doesn't Baishou Hall need to be closed?"

Erhong glanced at Zhao Mou first and realized that Zhao Mou was not showing off in front of this young lady, and then replied: "Oh, of course it doesn't matter. We are a medical clinic and we have to receive patients."

The siren asked: "But there is no one outside, how can there be any guests?"

Erhong was stunned.

Then, he tilted his head strangely, as if he thought the Siren's question was very strange, and answered slowly: "There are day guests during the day, and there are also night guests at night."

A gust of wind blew by.

Both deducers felt nervous.

This statement means...

Will the hospital receive "ghosts" at night?

After they realized this, the system prompts appeared directly.

[The deducers Zhao Mou and Bai Yunmo triggered the side mission: Night Hospital. 】

[Please receive at least three "guests" before 8pm. 】

[This task is a regional task, shared by all deducers in the medical center. The current number of people in the area: 2]

[The door of the medical center will be closed immediately at eight o'clock. After that, there will be a safe time of thirty minutes. You can choose to return to your residence or stay overnight at the medical center. 】

[Night rules will be updated after eight o'clock. 】

It turns out to be a side mission!

Siren was silently relieved to see that the mission was shared.

The scope of their activities is the entire hospital, including the front hall and the backyard. If the ghost of the sedan girl or the suspected spy of the Feng family appears, she will hide in the backyard, and nothing big will happen.

She and Zhao Mou looked at each other and were ready.

…

Inn.

Quinn and the others who followed the crowd back to the inn also noticed that something had changed. The inn was originally bustling, but as soon as it got dark, all the guests went back to their rooms, and the doors and windows were closed.

The waiter of the inn said hello to the shopkeeper and hurried home. The shopkeeper sat behind the counter, flipped through the ledger, and murmured: "Everything is full today."

Ren Yi paused as he passed by the counter.

What he immediately thought was: Fortunately, he came in advance to book a room.

The next second I realized something was wrong.

When he came to book a room, there were obviously many vacant rooms in this inn. During this period, not many people paid for the room. How could it be full?

So he pretended to be casual and asked: "Shopkeeper, business is good today."

The shopkeeper looked up at him.

Seeing that his face was calm and very calm, the shopkeeper automatically classified him as an insider, flipped the abacus in his hand, and gave a smile that could not be considered happy: "It's not profitable, this business..."

The second half of the sentence was lost in a sigh.

After the emo, the shopkeeper saw that Ren Yi was still standing there, and he suddenly felt a little confused.

"This guest, aren't you going back to your room yet?"

Under the swaying candle light on the counter, the shopkeeper's face was swaying with shadows. Even though he had no expression, he looked gloomy: "Be careful that the room is regarded as a vacant room and occupied by others. There are quite a few people who have not found a place to live today..."

[The deducers Ren Yi, Quinn, Nie Lang, and Luo meet to trigger the side mission: Night Inn. 】

[Please return indoors immediately and secure your room before ten o'clock in the evening. 】

[This task is a regional task, shared by all players located in the inn. The current number of people in the area: 4]

[Night rules will be updated after ten o'clock. 】

…

Zhao Mansion.

The "three brothers and sisters" of the Zhao family only went out for a while in the morning, and then returned to the mansion. The Zhao mansion had many secrets, and they carefully explored it under the nose of the family, but they also got a lot of useful information.

Luo Yan, who was a guest in the Zhao Mansion, went out to "talk business" during the day, and they made an appointment to exchange information after dinner.

Unexpectedly, when they thought it was dinner time, no servants came to invite them to dinner. Instead, those servants lit up all the lights in the house and disappeared from the deducers' sight.

Zhao Zhan tried to get out of the room and looked for Luo Yan first. He had heard Luo Yan coming back from outside.

As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he saw an extra Sunny Doll on the corridor in front of his door that absolutely did not exist during the day.

The sunny doll has a pair of big eyes. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but when Zhao Zhan opened the door, the doll's face was slowly twisted by a gust of wind, facing him.

[The Deducer...triggers the side mission: Zhao Mansion at Night. 】

[Zhao Mansion has many rules, and you can only let yourself go at night. However, there seems to be another set of rules here... Please eat food before eight o'clock without getting caught. 】

[This task is a regional task, but the task progress is not shared. Please make sure you have enough food. 】

[Night rules will be updated after eight o'clock. 】

…

Song Mansion.

Yu Xing finally climbed over the wall and came in.
