Absurd deduction game

The moment the foreign object scratched his skin, Yu Xing guessed what it was.

The touch of the scales is too obvious, hard and cold, and there is a surging feeling like breathing, which is unique to cold-blooded animals... a feeling of liveliness and silence.

In the darkness, the sliding sound became more and more obvious from being imperceptible. It was not that it would go away at the touch, but that it would wrap around and get tighter.

Yu Xing felt the touch of the snake's body slowly entangled. He did not move because the same sounds had surrounded him from all directions, creating a dense and suffocating atmosphere.

Lots of snakes.

Those snakes were entangled, spreading, and squeezing in the darkness. At this moment, it seemed that he had not entered the worship room, but had stepped into the snake cave unknowingly.

The moisture in the air accumulated more and more, becoming increasingly moist and heavy. Even Yu Xing's breathing was choked. He stretched out his hand to press the cold-blooded animal that had swam to his thigh, and was quickly licked by the cold forked tongue.

Yu Xing: ...

The snake didn't bite him, but a numbness quickly surged in the palm of his hand that had been licked. As the cold air flow entangled his fingers, Yu Xing heard the sound of dripping water in his ears.

Is it poison?

He shook his head so that he wouldn't fall into hallucinations even if he was actually licked. He silently mobilized the power of the curse to dispel the paralysis, and at the same time thought about how to drive away the snake.

After just a short moment of hesitation, his other leg was also wrapped by a snake. Not only that, but all the densely packed snake bodies that might exist on the ground had a tendency to crawl towards him.

It was a bit troublesome... Yu Xing tried to pull the snake's head and was bitten directly.

The sharp snake fangs pierced his tiger's mouth, and there was a stinging pain. Yu Xing frowned, not because it was a pain that was nothing to him, but because the entanglement ability of snakes was too strong and it was difficult to move even an inch. Not a thing.

But he didn't want to hurt these snakes rashly now to avoid triggering some hidden rules on the bronze statue. Otherwise, just wave his hand and a large number of these snakes would die.

Yiqing said it was a water snake...

Water snakes don't know whether they are afraid of fire.

Yu Xing remembered that places like worship rooms usually have candlesticks. Usually when people want to sacrifice something, they have to light candles. This is called the ritual sense of life.

If there are no accidents in this worship room, maybe a candle can be found.

Then the question comes again. He has walked more than ten meters - at least in his perception, it is more than ten meters, so the location he is now is still not the so-called worship room.

In the darkness, Yu Xing's eyes lit up, and his pupils turned into ice blue quietly, as if a layer of solid ice had been attached to them.

But the water under the solid ice was still flowing slowly, swirling and tumbling...reflecting some non-existent light spots.

There is some faint light in Yu Xing's retina. Even in a completely dark space, the little bits of light are easy to ignore.

But just this little light has become the best guide.

Hey, his psychic eyes are really useful at this time.

Yu Xing followed the direction of the light and vaguely felt that the snake wrapped around him became lighter. Even the snake that was supposed to be swimming on the ground in front of him disappeared, as if it was slowly disappearing.

The more you follow the light spot, the less restraint you have, the humid air and the oppressive astringency fade away, and the sound of dripping water becomes smaller and smaller, until you can no longer hear it——

Yu Xing stretched out his hand and touched a smooth table.

In the silence, only the snake on his leg still had some sense of existence. The snake's body became as light as a feather, as if when he raised his leg, the snake would be blown away by the slight air current.

Yu Xing ignored it and continued groping on the table. He first touched a small bronze statue with a somewhat familiar shape. He paused, put the statue down, and successfully found an unused thick candle next to it.

The matchbox was placed next to the candle. He struck a match and lit the candle wick, and a hazy halo suddenly spread out.

The light illuminated the surrounding scene. The wooden room was simple and old, and the walls were stained with mildew stains.

There are many sundries on the table, including candlesticks, gold masks, locust branches and other items that look like they are related to sacrifices. A small bronze statue is quietly placed in the center. The woman in the statue has her eyes open and a smile. Look at him without blinking.

Yu Xing measured the distance. He just touched the bronze statue at the first touch. The bronze statue should be at the edge of the table. In the blink of an eye, he teleported?

This bronze statue is quite respectable, and I think the center is in line with her noble temperament.

Why don't you reply to my words? Yi Qing asked quietly from behind.

Yu Xing turned around and saw that the floor of the house was clean and there were a few futons placed on the ground, but there was no trace of snakes at all.

The snake den, the sound of water, and the humid air all seemed to be figments of his imagination, a dirty phantom in a cloud of confusion, dragging him into trouble.

And the place where he is standing now is actually the table closest to the door. The distance is only three or four meters, not more than ten meters at all.

Is it really just an illusion? There wasn't even any inducement. How could this place allow him to fall into a fantasy without even realizing it?

Thinking of this, Yu Xing suddenly raised his hand and looked at the tiger's mouth. There was a shallow mark there, which was two blood spots side by side. If he had looked at it a little later, the wound would have healed.

As soon as he saw this small injury, a numb feeling swept through his mind. Yu Xing shook his hand and realized that it was not entirely an illusion, but a cognitive problem.

He still feels that being able to tamper with cognition is a real terror. Human memory is the cause and criterion of behavior. If even memory can be distorted at will, the person can only step into the network woven by others step by step.

For example, he was really bitten just now, but this is not a snake cave, and there are no snakes.

Is there a possibility that he actually found the way to the snake cave in this room...or somewhere else? He went in and walked around, then went back to the worship room, and then his memory was distorted, making him He thought he had never left here and everything he felt just now was fake?

This kind of thing just cannot be verified and symbolizes a loss of control.

Fortunately, he was not alone. There was a ghost beside him.

What happened to me just now? You called me but I didn't reply to you? Yu Xing asked quietly.

... Yiqing's face was blurry under the candlelight. He seemed to have wanted to answer immediately, but he forgot what to say when the words came to his lips. Instead, there was some unnoticeable confusion in his expression, Strange, I saw you I walked straight to the table, so I wanted to call you...

It should be like this...but...

It doesn't seem right.

You obviously kept walking and didn't stop. It only took a few seconds to get here from the door. Why do I feel that it took a long time...

Yiqing's voice became lower and lower, and his expression became serious after speaking.

He had been dead for a long time and had seen a lot of things. His mind was no slower than Yu Xing's. He immediately realized: Something's wrong, Yu Xing. Something has happened, but I can't remember it.

Yu Xing rubbed his temples.

Even Yiqing said so, and his worries were indeed correct.

Let's first—— Before he finished speaking, Yu Xing suddenly opened his eyes slightly.

Because the worship room is getting brighter and brighter.

The light of the candles gradually became unnecessary, and the faint skylight filtered in from the window, and the entire worship room was enveloped.

Yu Xing turned his head suddenly, and was rarely stunned.

Actually... it's dawn.

What did he and Yiqing forget...?

Wow, still not on time.

As a fun aside, I heard someone say that our local tour group would organize a strawberry picking activity the day after tomorrow. I originally thought that maybe going out would be good for my mental health, so I planned to go and replied to the person who told me. After an hour, the other party finished the investigation and told me that this event is only for seniors over 50 years old...
