Absurd deduction game

A creepy feeling quietly spread from Yu Xing's back. He arched his body slightly and glanced specifically at the stalactite above his head.

For a moment, he thought there was something good at concealment hiding in the gap, which he missed.

But no matter how carefully he looked, he didn't find any clues in the corners of these stones. It seemed that it was just cold here. Other than that, he didn't feel the breath of ghosts.

This was strange. The three knocks he just responded to clearly came from the outside of the coffin. In other words, before he opened and closed the coffin, there must be something outside the coffin, maybe lying on the coffin lid, a board away from him.

Now there is no trace.

Yu Xing turned his attention to the corpses with only their heads and flesh on the opposite side. There were about twenty of them on the cliff opposite, and there were naturally some on the cliff on his side, maybe...

Which corpse crawled over and played with him, and after he came out, he went back to his bed?

Yu Xing couldn't help but have a picture in his mind. He imagined the scene where a head and its own bones came knocking on the door just now. He suspected that this was a welcome and enthusiasm for the new neighbor.

Thinking of this, Yu Xing no longer felt weird. He was enthusiastic, and everyone deserved a good neighborly relationship after death. This was human nature.

He stopped caring about the one knocking on the coffin and turned his attention back to himself.

Forget it, the most important thing is to figure out where you are now. Yu Xing let the black coffin stretch, and then stabbed the surrounding stone wall with his long knife, and the tough blade penetrated more than half of it.

His internal organs were almost healed, at least they no longer hurt when he moved. He tiptoed a little, and his whole body hung under the long knife, swaying like a swing.

The surface of the stone wall was uneven, which made it easier for Yu Xing to climb. He glanced down, but it was too dark to see the bottom, so climbing down was not a good choice.

Then go up.

With a flashlight in one hand and a long knife in the other, Yu Xing put his feet firmly on the ground and began to climb in an unfamiliar place.

Every time he climbed a certain distance, he had to use his flashlight to shine on the path above. As he had guessed, this stone wall was also inlaid with several large and small coffins. From time to time, he would climb under a coffin.

In order not to be pushed into the abyss by the enthusiastic neighbors, Yu Xing decided to take a detour.

In this way, he climbed and adjusted his position without slowing down at all. Within five or six minutes, he reached the end of the stone wall.

Yu Xing rushed up again, not in a hurry to climb up, but with half of his head sticking out, wanting to take a look at the road above.

His flashlight shined into the endless darkness, and he only saw a deeper cave entrance. In front of the cave, a pile of broken stones were scattered on the ground, as if they were some kind of handicrafts, but now they were destroyed.

It doesn't look like there's much danger.

Yu Xing used strength in his waist and legs, climbed onto the ground quietly, and walked for a while while shining his flashlight on both sides.

It was silent, and his footsteps echoed in this space. Even though they were small, they were infinitely amplified and even echoed.

He yawned, finding the sound of footsteps hypnotic.

When he reached the place where the gravel was, Yu Xing squatted down and observed.

The gravels vary in size. The big ones are a third of Yu Xing's size, while the small ones are only as big as a palm.

They were not too broken. There were only about thirty parts in total, and each piece was almost engraved with patterns. The broken parts had strange shapes, indicating that they were once one piece.

Yu Xing noticed that next to the entrance of the cave, there was a low, inconspicuous base, which was also made of stone, rough but heavy.

... He took one more look, and then walked towards the cave.

This is the only road nearby. Except for the entrance of the cave, there are twists and turns all around. In the end, they lead to featureless stone walls, which are connected to the top of the wall above their heads. They are all dead ends.

All I needed to do was write the words Go here quickly on this hole.

This cave is relatively narrow and can only be passed through by one person.

Not only is it narrow, but it is also low. A tall man like Yu Xing must stoop slightly to walk. The top is also covered with stalactites like the outside. If he dares to walk straight up, he will definitely get a bloody hole in his head.

Water droplets dropped from the tips of the stalactites, falling on Yu Xing's head from time to time, and others fell to the ground. There was a lot of water on the road under his feet, and he made a soft sound when he stepped on it.

After the water droplets fell, they caused a ripple of nothingness, with a natural chill and a ubiquitous coolness.

As Yu Xing walked, the hole got lower and lower, and he had to lower his head.

After walking a further distance, the cave became even more difficult to pass without crouching. Yu Xing crouched down and slowly moved forward, frowning at the same time.

He didn't know why, but it was clear that the sense of peeping came from the corpses with rolling eyes on the stone wall, but now he could still feel a kind of gaze, continuous and falling behind him.

After walking for a distance as if nothing had happened, Yu Xing suddenly turned his flashlight back and looked back while squinting his eyes.

There is nothing behind but the stone wall.

Yu Xing knew that his speed was already very fast, so he didn't discover anything by surprise. There were only two possibilities.

Or, there is really nothing behind it, and he is too sensitive.

Either this thing is very special and has no body at all, or its reaction speed is faster than him.

Yu Xing touched his chin, which was stained with moisture, and thought to himself, Is it possible that the coffin knocker is following?

If the opponent follows him and prepares to attack, it will be difficult for him to form an effective defense in his current posture. He is squatting forward and even turning around will take a while.

But now he had no other choice but to move forward. The other party seemed to understand this and knew that he would not exit the cave, so he followed him so unscrupulously, without even avoiding his gaze.

Soldiers will block it, and water will cover it. Since that thing wants to follow, Yu Xing will let it follow. Anyway, if it really attacks, it's not certain who will suffer.

He kept going forward, and if he went any further, he would have to lie down half-lying.

... Yu Xing always felt uncomfortable. He stopped, thought for two seconds, and found a clue.

Along the way since entering the cave, the cave entrance has become lower and lower, and his posture after entering has become more and more passive and humble.

First he bent over and lowered his head, then he knelt and squatted, and now he even had to lie on his stomach, crawling when he walked.

The design of this cave is like forcing outsiders to pay homage to the things inside the cave.

Not only that, the end of the road where Yu Xing's flashlight shined was still getting tighter and narrower. I'm afraid that in another two minutes, he would have to cut himself into several pieces to get through.

This is the wrong way. Yu Xing murmured and couldn't help but take a step back.

As soon as he stretched his ankle back a little, he suddenly felt something covering it, and a moderate force came from the thing. Through his pants, Yu Xing could roughly feel that it should be a palm.

Sure enough, there was something following him!

Even Yu Xing didn't expect that the thing was following him so closely, so close to him.

I don’t know how I escaped his observation just now.

The palm not only placed on Yu Xing's calf, but also held it a little above the military boots. The knuckles were probably very long and happened to circle around Yu Xing's ankle.

Yu Xing's breath was stagnant. He didn't know why, but he keenly felt the emotions conveyed from the movement of his hand. He felt that this hand was teasing him.

It's easy to do with ease, even with a hint of theater mood.

Moreover, when he held his breath, he heard another breathing sound hidden in his breathing frequency.

I don't know if the things behind him sensed his awareness, but their breathing was chaotic for a moment, and then Yu Xing felt an aura that was no longer concealed coming from behind.

In an instant, the backpack on his back pressed against a body, and something vaguely like hair stabbed the back of Yu Xing's neck.

The hand holding Yu Xing's ankle did not loosen. In short, Yu Xing was now in a very dangerous and restricted posture.

Yu Xing endured it, but couldn't hold it back: ...Hey, this object, you are very arrogant.

The feeling of being teased was even stronger. To be honest, if it were an ordinary ghost, catching him would not cause him to have this illusion at all. Didn't the bone vine also wrap around his ankle?

But this time, Yu Xing obviously resonated with the thing behind him, and the other person's emotions could not escape Yu Xing's perception.

He mocked: May I ask whether you were a boy or a girl during your lifetime? Did you have a partner?

He guessed from the size of the hand that there should be a male ghost behind it: Even if there is no one in life, you can't mess with me casually. Wouldn't it be good for your family to burn a beautiful paper doll for you? I'm not a good person.

The ghost behind didn't answer him, but stayed quiet for a few seconds, and then took another step forward.

The warm breath came to Yu Xing's ears, and along with the breathing rate, there was a biting coldness.

Yu Xing was startled and his pupils narrowed.

No, this breath is hot?

Living person?

His eyes were in vain and dark, and the flashlight shone back again.

But the moment he turned back, his breath dissipated like the wind, and the touch on his legs disappeared. The light of the flashlight only illuminated a piece of black rock. Other than that, not a single ghost was visible.

After the provocation, you dare not show up?

It seems that there is a very interesting guy here. Yu Xing smiled instead of being surprised. He admired the other person's attitude of seeking death, especially when he was seeking death, he also had enough strength to interest him.

He was not sure whether the other party was gone, and he guessed in his mind: Is he alive, a resurrector, or a latecomer like me?

His spirit became active, and Yu was no longer sleepy. He chose to retreat bit by bit, no longer playing scheming games with the man who designed the cave many years ago.

After taking a few small steps back, Yu Xing's hand crossed the ground and suddenly paused.

He shined the flashlight below him and saw several new simplified Chinese characters silently appearing on the ground below him.

Male, Wu, knows.

Holy shit.

Yu Xing almost laughed in anger. The man behind him was as arrogant as him. How dare he write in response to his ridicule?

These three words respectively correspond to what he just asked: Is he a boy or a girl?, Does he have a partner? and I'm not a good person.

After this interaction, Yu Xing guessed that this suspected living thing didn't have much ill intentions towards him, otherwise he would have taken action long ago, but for the time being, he couldn't figure out why the other person followed him and didn't show up yet.

Do you want to convey some kind of message?

It doesn't look like either.

Forget it, don't think about it for now. No matter what the other party's purpose is, that thing will definitely appear on its own initiative at the appropriate time.

Soon, Yu Xing retreated out of the cave. His hair became very damp, with clumps sticking to his forehead and the back of his neck. There was also a fine layer of water on his coat and skin.

After encountering something strange in the cave, Yu Xing was in a good mood. He casually took out a towel and wiped his face and hair, then returned to the gravel.

Should be able to give it a try...

Yu Xing has no purpose now, and there is no waste of time.

Even when he entered the tomb, it was to investigate the very general task given by the studio - to explore the secrets of the tomb.

As a force that exists in the deduction world, it will definitely not erase any tasks before they are completed like the deduction itself. Yu Xing estimated that even if he did not find the source of the resurrection rumors, he would still be able to get here after sleeping in a coffin. Report it to the studio, and the person in charge of the studio won't say anything.

After all, this is considered a secret, right?

It is for this reason that this deduction has a setting where the number of people is uncertain and may be reduced or added at any time. Now that Yu Xing has found a way out, he will go back directly and not participate in the subsequent plot, which means he left midway.

Therefore, under the premise that time was not urgent, Yu Xing began to try to restore the fragments. He wanted to see what the stone sculptures originally placed at the entrance of the cave looked like.

Yu Xing picked it up from the bottom first, and the largest piece just fit half of the gap on the base. He relied on his strength to move the stone to the base with his bare hands. Sure enough, the stone stood firmly, as if there was something inside. Magnets generally attract each other.

He raised his eyebrows, found another much smaller stone, completed the lines at the bottom, and then slowly worked his way up.

The stone gradually returned to its original appearance, and the split lines gradually became smooth and coherent. When Yu Xing placed the last stone on the top, the entire stone sculpture attracted each other, and it restored itself into a beautiful statue that could not be seen to be broken.

It's just that when Yu Xing looked at the statue, his face looked a little ugly.

The statue is about two meters high. It depicts a man carrying a hideous-looking corpse on his back. The bones and vines on the ground are intertwined with each other, tightly entangled with the man's legs, and only the incomplete upper body is exposed.

Swarms of dead tree insects clung to the bone vines. Some were dormant quietly, while others were fluttering and ready to fly. It was disgusting to look at them.

Next to the insect swarm, there are also dead birds hanging upside down, densely packed.

At the top of the bone vine, the petals of a large flower stretched out, covering the top of the man's head.

This statue is filled with all the disgusting elements near Chongyin Mountain, which really makes Yu Xing dislike it, even though its carving craftsmanship is extremely impressive.

Only the head of a person who is heavily wrapped by these things is clear, and other parts are more or less covered and bound, making this person look like a dying person trapped in a mire.

The strangest thing is that the face of the dying man looks exactly like Yu Xing.
