Absurd deduction game

The three of them simply buried the body and returned from the mountains. It was only the morning, and there was still a long time before Zhou Yongsheng's funeral was discussed in the village.

In fact, by now in the game, the clique among the deducers has become obvious. Except for the missing Carlos and the dead Ju Lan, the two Xu brothers have basically had zero communication with Yu Xing and the others. It is not known whether they have discovered anything. clue.

I entered the village at dusk last night, and then separated after having dinner. I haven't integrated the information until now. This seems a bit stupid to Yu Xing. This group of people has too rigid consciousness and only activities with familiar and trusted people. , completely failing to take advantage of the numerical advantage, like a piece of loose sand.

Carlos was the only one who had the awareness to set up information, but he didn't know where he was hiding and tinkering with something.

He felt that... nothing had happened to Carlos. There was something about this blue-haired magician at first sight.

In short, having said all that, the deducers in this game are still inexperienced. Otherwise, even people who have conflicts with each other will exchange information based on their own judgment, because deducing the truth and living are an unshakable thing. Common goal.

At that moment, under the strange gazes of some villagers, Yu Xing made a suggestion to Xiao Xuechen and Wei Fan——

It's still early, I'm afraid the key point of the game will be tonight. They should use this blank time to find out more information about Guanjiacun.

Split up to investigate, then gather together to integrate and analyze the information clues.

Neither Xiao Xuechen nor Wei Fan had any objections. There was nothing wrong with splitting up. They were not in a horror movie after all. Unlike the tragic protagonists of horror movies, they had the ability to fight ghosts, and in broad daylight, the types of accidents were limited and not so difficult to deal with. .

Although the houses in this small village were dilapidated, the overall layout was quite square. After acting alone, Yu Xing quietly climbed over the wall and entered several courtyards. He found that almost every house had one or two empty rooms. He didn't know what he was doing in the first place. use.

In addition, he also paid special attention to whether these villagers had coffins in their homes. After all, if the coffin village only had the coffin in the ancestral hall, it would be too unworthy.

As an outsider with an eye-catching appearance, it still took a lot of effort for him to pry into various things without being noticed.

There was no lunch at noon. After what happened last night, Xiao Xuechen, the others, and the Xu brothers all refused to go to the village chief's house to eat because they had no appetite. Even Yu Xing, who seemed to have a great appetite from beginning to end, said directly that he didn't want to. have eaten.

In the afternoon, he leaned against a wall and took a breath. His originally white shirt was stained by the movement, and there was dust on his palms from climbing over the wall.

After basically inquiring... there was something that really made him feel that something was wrong, and it broadened his ideas of speculation.

For example, these villagers do not visit each other at all. If they want to chat together, they will go to the open space outside the house. It is as if each house has strict regulations and the number of people cannot be too large. Combined with the rules and regulations for them as deducers at night, He vaguely felt that this was a very important clue.

Another example is the rickety old man they met when they first entered the village. Yu Xing observed almost every house and never saw him again.

The old man seemed to appear out of thin air and disappear again.

And the most unscientific point is that there is no farmland in this village, and no one is responsible for purchasing out of the village. The villagers have three meals a day. Where do the meat and vegetables come from?

And... there is no cemetery, where are the people who have died in the village over the years buried?

The appointment time with Xiao Xuechen and Wei Fan was at four o'clock. Just after three o'clock, Yu Xing ran to Ju Lan's room.

He stepped in through the window and took a leisurely look inside the house.

Ju Lan's backpack is placed in the corner of the room, and two wooden beds are placed side by side across the aisle. One of the beds has obvious signs of sleeping on it, and the other bed...

The quilt was lifted, and there was a small paper man in the center of the bed.

Yu Xing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This was obviously placed here intentionally by Carlos. The magician seemed to always have a small paper man in his hand, which was very interesting.

He walked over and could infer from the traces at the scene that after Ju Lan woke up at night, he got off his bed and was shocked to find that his companion was missing. He opened Carlos' quilt and found the paper man, and then walked all the way to the door.

She must have been persuaded by something and opened the door... Then, things took a turn for the worst.

After some simple speculation, Yu Xing ruled out the possibility that Carlos had a different mission from theirs and intentionally harmed people.

He was sure that Carlos was a human and not a ghost, so if Carlos wanted to kill Ju Lan, there was no need to go to such trouble.

He turned his attention to the paper man again, picked it up and looked at it.

Carlos's paper figures are all three-dimensional and are paper figures rather than paper figures.

The paper man was only as big as a palm. What was strange was that the originally pure white paper man was still stained with blood. Most of his head was missing, and there were several cracks on his body.

This scar... is the same as Ju Lan's. Could it be that he was a paper man substitute who bore the curse of the night rules for Carlos? Yu Xing narrowed his eyes. At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Remaining traces of sacrifices were found and are being determined]

[Your level is lower than the other party, information acquisition failed]

Ah, is this a sacrifice? Although he had already guessed it, he still became interested when he heard the system's confirmation.

Whether it was Zhao Yijiu's knife before or Carlos's paper man now, they all had some attraction to Yu Xing.

Because...he himself has an invisible and intangible sacrifice, and he vaguely knows what it is. Therefore, he needs to get in touch with the sacrifice more to study things that he could not touch before.

Yu Xing held the little paper figure that seemed to be dead and said to himself in a low voice: Hmm... No, this is not a sacrifice, it is just a form of display of the sacrifice's ability, and it is still residual.

When Carlos came to exchange information last night, a paper man's head was cut open on the spot in order to perform magic, so Carlos had more than one paper man.

The real sacrifice was probably carried by Carlos, and the bed was just one of the ways to use it.

Looking at the room, there wasn't even Carlos' backpack. He must have taken the bag with him when he left.

Yu Xing: Did Carlos leave Guanjia Village and go to the town over the mountain?

This is a new idea. The mission only requires them to attend the funeral. It does not say whether they can leave before the funeral.

In fact, no one stipulates that they have to stay in Guanjia Village until the funeral starts, so they can leave at any time, as long as they come back before the funeral starts.

It was the first time for Yu Xing to play this kind of deduction game. He didn't think about it for a while, but now his eyes lit up.

Having learned it, he opened new doors!

In future deduction games... his ideas will definitely be more divergent!

Hope the ghost is okay.

This is what he found in Ju Lan's room. After coming out, Yu Xing turned a corner and came to the house where the Xu family brothers were. The yard of this family was a little smaller than the village chief's house, but there was only one old lady living there, so the remaining Of the two vacant rooms, one was given to Xu Yuan and Xu Hong, and the other was given to Wei Fan.

According to Wei Fan, these two brothers are the ultimate homebodies, staying in their rooms all the time.

Sitting and waiting for death can only be done by fools, which is obviously inconsistent with the deducers who have to use their brains in every deduction game. Otherwise, these people would not be alive now.

So the Xu brothers must have a way to obtain information.

This time he did not climb over the wall or window. Instead, he arranged his clothes and knocked on the old lady's door.

More than twenty seconds later.

Squeak——

The door was obviously old and it made a sharp sound. A short old lady was holding on to the door with one hand and leaning on a cane in the other hand. There was no emotion on her wrinkled face.

She asked in a hoarse voice: Who are you?

This old lady has inconvenient legs and feet. Yu Xing has never seen her outside, and other villagers will not come in. In other words, this old lady is in the stage of being blocked from information. Except for the three outsiders who came in last night, the village chief knocked on the door. She probably knows nothing else.

Hello, mother-in-law, I came to play with the people who live in your house. Yu Xing blinked obediently and did not say his name.

Visitors from out of town... come in. The old lady staggered out of the way, and Yu Xing walked in easily.

This yard is really bad, some of the weeds have grown very tall, but it's probably because the old lady has difficulty moving and can't clean it up.

Yu Xing thanked the old lady and walked to the Xu brothers' room.

The door of the room was closed tightly, and the conversation could be vaguely heard in the room with almost no sound insulation. Unfortunately, these two people were probably experienced and could only hear the sound, and the content of the conversation was completely unclear.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

who?

I'm san.

The person who opened the door was Xu Hong, who was wearing black clothes. He glanced behind Yu Xing with vigilant eyes, and then asked: So it's you, is something wrong?

You said before that this village is evil, but now I believe it. He started with a logical connection between characters, and Yu Xing spread his hands innocently, I saw some terrible things last night, and Ju Lan died today. I think After thinking about it, you two Feng Shui masters must know what's going on, right? Hey...

I'm just a painter with no skills, so I want to communicate with you. I wonder if you two can help me?

Xu Hong was still hesitating, but Xu Yuan in the room understood what he meant and raised his voice: Brother, let him come in.

Come in. Xu Hong made the invitation after hearing this.

Yu Xing smiled gratefully and stepped into the dim room.

After entering, he quickly looked around the room quietly. The sun was shining brightly at this moment, but the Xu brothers covered the windows with a gorgeous piece of cloth, making it difficult for light to penetrate.

Xu Yuan was sitting cross-legged on a hardwood bed, with a piece of parchment spread in front of him and a bunch of odd and odd objects beside him. His eyes moved as Yu Xing moved around, and then he said: We have indeed calculated some information about Guan Xing. It belongs to the village, but it’s useless if you people know about it, it’s best to leave as soon as possible.”

The logic of this character is also good... Yu Xing glanced at the content on the parchment. It seemed to be a hand-drawn map, with mountains surrounding it and a dense grid in the middle.

Strangely, when he got closer to the parchment, the cold feeling appeared again, but it was weaker than the candlestick in the village chief's house, so it didn't have any obvious impact on him.

Yu Xing suppressed his discomfort, took another look, and then smiled shyly: Before, I was ignorant and agreed to the village chief to stay for the funeral. If I want to leave midway, who knows what will happen. Two eldest brothers, I know Feng Shui. On the one hand, you are experts, and there are some secrets that cannot be disclosed to outsiders, but... human lives are at stake, and I also have some additional information that I may be able to exchange with you.

This is what I was waiting for.

Xu Yuan glanced at his brother and then nodded: In that case, that's fine.

…

Half an hour later, Yu Xing left the Xu brothers' room.

He saw the lonely old lady sitting in the courtyard, thought about it, and walked over with a smile.

The old lady was tapping the cane in her hand, looking up at the sky above the yard, lost in thought.

Old lady, are you alone? Yu Xing sat directly opposite the old lady and started chatting without caring whether the old lady agreed or not, What are you looking at?

I'm looking at...the outside world. The old lady didn't lower her head, still looking at it.

A cunning look flashed across Yu Xing's eyes, and he tentatively said, If you want to go for a walk, I can help you.

No, not outside, but...the outside world. The old lady showed a sad look. In fact, she was the only old man Yu Xing saw in this village except the old man at the entrance of the village.

What is the outside world? You mean... outside the mountains?

Yes... I also went out when I was young. The nostalgia in the old lady's eyes became more and more intense. Perhaps it was because no one had talked to her for too long. It didn't take much effort for Yu Xing to open up her chat box.

People in our village have all worked hard outside, some going to school and some working. The old lady spoke clearly and it was not difficult to distinguish her words.

But, in the end, we will all be pulled back, and then, we will stay in the village forever...

Yu Xing listened and sneered inwardly: Ha, are you just like Zhou Yongsheng?

He went to school well, but when he came back, he was strangled to death.

He wanted to ask the old lady why she kept coming back, but the old lady didn't seem to know much about this issue, and she didn't say anything more after going around for a long time.

So Yu Xing changed the question again: Mother-in-law, do you know an old man in the village? I saw him at the entrance of the village when my friend and I came here. He was also standing on crutches. He looked very old.

Old man? The old lady was confused, I should be the last old man in this village. Oh, did you see him by the locust tree?

Yu Xing nodded: That's right.

He...he was the previous village chief. After Zhou Facai came back from town, he buried him under the locust tree. He...had been dead a long time ago!
