Absurd deduction game

Looking at Yu Xing's face, Huai had the illusion that what this man with a gentle smile just said was not One death is enough, but The dinner is really delicious.

So who to eat...no, who to die, have they already decided?

Huai mentally pulled back his distracted thoughts, and unconsciously rubbed his fingertips on the mithril pendant on his chest.

Sachi's way of thinking doesn't look like that of a good person.

Aren't gamblers worried about the falling line?

Just as Huai's mind was turning, Yu Xing kept his harmless face and added: Of course, death is the worst plan after all. Senior Gambler must already know where the new area is. I just need to follow Senior, there must be no problem!

Huai: ... Is that so?

Zeng Lai: ... What the hell! ?

The escaped Senior Gambler had just recovered from the shock of Yu Xing taking off his mask, and felt the impact of taking the blame again.

Good guy, aren't you telling Huai that this idea was all his?

Although he did discover something during his previous exploration, he didn't believe that with Yu Xing's current IQ, he would not be able to discover these things at the same time.

You taste it, you taste it carefully.

After thinking for two seconds, Zeng Laipin came out.

Xing didn't actually put on much pretense in front of him, but it was different in front of Huai. Huai's biggest characteristic is that he likes to record deduction videos. Although he is a loner, he has many supporters.

Because Huai's videos have given many people reference cases and they have learned a lot, even their researchers have used Huai's videos for analysis.

So... Fortunately, I don't plan to expose my deduction habits in front of the audience that will exist in the future!

Zeng Lai praised his wit.

Someone with a backer like Xing would most likely not die in a struggle-level deduction, and they might even meet again in the future. In this case, he would give Xing a favor by the way.

Yes, I did find something out, so let them worry about occupying the room first. He answered Yu Xing's words as if nothing had happened, trying to get over the few seconds he had been stunned.

Huai looked at him deeply.

Zeng Lai said without changing his expression: Seriously... no one really thinks that there is no danger in occupying a room.

Huai nodded and sighed.

In this deduction, the BOSS is in control. In other words, Alice is the owner of the castle. She doesn't even need an excuse if she wants to cause trouble for the deductions.

But the deducer couldn't do anything to her.

And this BOSS not only has a high status, but also has a high IQ. With just a little trick, several deducers ignored the key points at the beginning and fell into blind spots——

They only saw time and competition, but Alice did not promise that the monsters rumored to be wandering around the castle... would not be waiting for everyone in the room.

Ghosts that everyone originally avoided were given the opportunity to appear and kill people at will because of the temporary new rules.

For example, Yu Xing's corpse researcher.

This thing makes a lot of noise when walking, so it's hard to hide its traces, but what if it's standing behind a door in a room that has a low chance of being opened?

The deducer hurriedly opened the door, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a pipe with exaggerated jagged teeth coming towards his head.

The picture is beautiful, so don’t think about it anymore.

The matter of occupying a room sounds simple, but in fact it is very difficult.

Alice, a thing whose breed she didn't know, had no kindness towards them at all. She was a very bad dog.

Perhaps to confirm their words, at this moment, a series of panic-filled screams came from upstairs.

It sounded like a man's voice. Although the specific floor and the specific person could not be distinguished, judging from the sound of the screams, the man was running and screaming at the same time.

The scream lasted for a few seconds and then died away. It was not the kind of sound that was cut off, but the kind of sound that you silently shut up after you realized that the more you screamed, the harder it was to escape.

...

It seems like things are getting lively upstairs.

The three people at the table were silent for a while, and Huai opened his mouth to confirm: Have you noticed that Huang Bai and I have also found out, so are we forming an alliance?

Knot. Zeng Lai agreed.

Yu is lucky to have a meal.

The alliance was finalized. Huai was the line of alienation, Huangbai was the line of righteousness (according to what she told Huai), the gambler was the line of righteousness, and Yu Xing was the line of alienation. Overall, this alliance was successful. Relatively reassuring.

In other words, as long as there is no corruption line in the team, it is considered safe.

Because this involves the issue of how to clear the level. People in the Fallen Line will do whatever it takes and will often harm others. As long as they clear the level or achieve a certain goal, they will put morality aside.

Although Zhengdao and Alienation have different deduction habits, they have one thing in common - they both feel that the threat posed by the absurd deduction game is not enough to allow them to break their morals and kill others to pass the level.

After the differentiation stage, the mortality rate is generally around 50%. When encountering a big boss who leads the team, this figure can go down. It is not like Zeng Lai has never seen everyone survive.

Therefore, for people with sufficient experience and above average strength, one deduction does not mean a narrow escape, but seven deaths and three lifetimes...

Although the probability of increase is not large, at least there is still some confidence.

When it's really necessary, when death is so close... then we'll talk about it then.

Anyway, I usually don't risk the lives of innocent teammates I randomly match. It's one thing to watch with cold eyes, but it's another to take the initiative to harm them, unless I encounter someone who has a grudge against me, or a corrupt line who is obviously hostile.

Well, the fallen line does nothing on a daily basis, and of course it won't be taken seriously by the deducers of the other two lines.

The old housekeeper watched the three tourists seem to be talking bad about Alice while forming some strange relationship.

But he didn't say anything, and there was no need to tell Alice. His duty was only to be a good logistics housekeeper, and the rest was not his responsibility.

This is the rule.

It was precisely because Zeng Lai and Huai understood this characteristic of the system that they discussed it directly at the dinner table instead of going back to the room.

As a result, the old housekeeper, who was used as a backdrop, began to listen in on the three people exchanging clues.

What was the box you took when you went back just now? Huai finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask, A clue or a prop? How did you find it?

Maybe it's a prop, I feel like it. Since he didn't open the small wooden box, Zeng Lai wasn't very sure. He could only tell from the system prompts that he was looking for both lighting tools and keys. Opening the box was more complicated than props. near.

If a prop clue is so complicated, then they should stop playing around and just go to hell together by stabbing each other a few times.

He gave his answer and glanced at Yu Xing who was not going to speak: Actually, Xing found it. It's in the cabinet in the corridor on the fifth floor. There are many evil things on the fifth floor. You look at the hall, it's magnificent. Yes, do you know what the fifth floor is like? The ashes are piled so high, and there are spider webs, it’s really a mess.”

break?

Huai didn't go to the fifth floor to see. He only saw the iron door that required a key at the end of the lobby stairs leading to the fifth floor. He was really worried.

Just that one door was so rusted that the original material was almost unrecognizable. If the entire floor had this style, it must have its meaning.

In the absurd world, every anomaly may symbolize vitality and clues.

Having said that, there was nothing to hide. Zeng Lai roughly explained everything they had discovered, including the unactivated abyss blood array on the ceiling.

That's it. Then you have already seen three kinds of ghosts. Huai looked at Yu Xing who had a great appetite, and inexplicably felt that his appetite was aroused little by little. He ate a few more while the food was hot. After filling his stomach with his mouth, he said, Arabai and I also saw one when we were in the bathroom.

Huang Bai wanted to occupy the room, but Huai let her go.

The first few rooms are easy to get into, at least they have ten bedrooms, right?

As for places that may be dangerous, Huai believes that Huang Bai has his own judgment and will not take risks easily.

Because this woman is very smart, laughing and joking, but actually very careful.

Huai said: The men's bathroom is similar to what you said. I walked around for a while and then left and went to the women's bathroom.

Yu Xing raised his eyelids and looked at him.

Zeng Lai also stared at him silently, as if making some kind of accusation.

...No way, no one was in the bathroom at that time! Huai's usually calm voice finally showed the strongest fluctuation so far, ...And Huangbai went in first, I just followed to check the clues, I won’t do anything perverted, so just keep your eyes away!”

Yu Xing withdrew his eyes obediently.

Zeng Lai clicked his tongue twice: Then, then, what did you see in the women's bathroom?

Huai coughed lightly: A mirror.

Huang Bai discovered it. She said she heard a sound in the mirror, so she followed the sound and took a look. I also went, and then I saw a person in the mirror.

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows: Who?

Huai said: Myself.

Zeng Lai: ...?

Am I deaf...?

You see how awesome you are at this. Isn't that a mirror?

Huai knew that he didn't speak clearly enough. He was just about to make a supplement to the grumpy old man in the northeast when Yu Xing spoke first.

He tried to understand: You and Huang Bai look in the mirror, and you are the only one in the mirror?

Yes. Huai said, Besides, the person in the mirror said hello to me. I ignored it. I looked at it blankly at first and found that her expression was similar to mine, maybe her face was a little greener. She probably saw it too. Just smile and wave to her yourself.

Zeng Lai imagined this scene. For him, who had seen many ghosts, it didn't have much impact. Who hasn't encountered one or two mirror ghosts?

Then he imagined that if he was taking a shower, something exactly like him would smile at him in the mirror and talk frankly to him while taking a shower.

Zeng Lai felt that he might be driven crazy by ghosts and beasts.

Pushing the ghostly image out of his mind, he asked cautiously: What is it?

Huai didn't know what strange scene he had imagined in his mind just now, so he replied normally: The ghost notice said it's called [Good Friend].

Good friends who take a shower together.

Zeng Lai looked desperate, feeling that his brain could not survive this trap.

I really want to cut myself.

However, after hearing the name, Yu Xing had some associations with the attack method of this kind of ghost.

Obviously, this thing is not solid.

He knew that there were many kinds of ghosts, so let's take the ghosts deduced in this scene as an example... The zombie researcher and the cryer are both physical things, but there are no good friends.

The attack methods of his white coat zombies and good friends are more obvious - the former beats people with pipes and bodies, while the latter is nothing more than pulling people into the mirror or killing people through the mirror image.

It's hard to tell the attack mechanism of the cryer and the blood array. When the cryer knocks on the door, should he answer the door or not? If the door is opened, will the cryer attack directly with his body, or are there other causal rules? Not to mention the blood array, Yu Xing didn't know anything except that it had a certain sensing range.

Some ghosts can be seen from a distance to refresh the ghost notification. Some ghosts have to be activated, that is, close contact and being discovered to refresh the information. Some ghosts may not be recognized as ghosts even if they are seen. As for the basis for judgment, the system has the final say.

Yu Xing asked: What happens after we say hello?

Zeng Lai also managed to concentrate.

Huai's fingers twisted the pendant again, which seemed to be his habitual action.

He said: The person in the mirror didn't do anything. It seemed like he was a good friend. He just said hello. We were in a stalemate for five minutes, and then I left. After I returned to the bedroom, I looked in the small mirror in the bedroom. It didn't show up. Come, I don’t know if it only exists in the bathroom, or if it is temporarily too weak to attack us.”

Yu Xing thought to himself that the possibility of only existing in the bathroom is not high, otherwise this ghost would be too shameless, and would only appear twice, once every night, specifically to have a friendly meeting with the deducer.

And there is a high probability that you will have no clothes to wear every time, which is very miserable.

It seems like I need to check the mirror in the room when I go back to the bedroom...

Huai waited for Zeng Lai and Yu Xing to think for a while, then said: One more thing, you just mentioned that there is no light in the corridor on the fifth floor and you can't enter. I remembered that when I was on the second floor, I saw Huo Zhezi in a showroom. .”

Zeng Lai's eyes lit up: Thank you.

…

Having said so much, both parties have received some new information.

At least, it shows that this alliance is sincere.

Zeng Lai touched his chin. He was almost full after eating, and turned to look at the golden clock.

The hand was already pointing to eighteen nineteen.

He stood up and said, The bathroom isn't close to here. We should go.

Yu Xing had eaten and drank enough, and nodded when he heard the words.

Huai stood up and said, That's it. If there are new discoveries in the future, let's find time to reveal them to each other. If we find new props... it's best to tell them all.

The props correspond to different ghosts. If they know each other well, they can coordinate to resist the ghosts together.

After making a verbal agreement, the three of them left the hall and went upstairs.

Only the old butler was left silently starting to collect the dishes and chopsticks, stacking them all up, and then carrying them one by one to the transfer port in the corner of the hall.

After doing this, he stood next to the golden clock again, as quiet as a machine without self-awareness.

Only the fingers moved occasionally, as if silently protesting this illusion.

I went out for training on the 5th and 6th. I was so tired. The update on the 6th is expected to be postponed to the evening, and it will be at least the afternoon on the 7th. Climbing is so tiring.
