Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 110 Under the River of Forgetfulness

The bell was tied around the wrist, and it was embedded deeply into the skin as if it were alive. Almost in a blink of an eye, the rope of the bell melted into the body and turned into a circle of red tattoo-like things.

 Looking at the bell itself, it is almost embedded in the flesh. Every time it is shaken, you can feel a gentle pulling sensation on the skin.

"Hiss..." Yu Xing took a breath lightly with a natural expression, and she didn't know what he was sighing about.

 Others' expressions turned ugly, especially the two girls who had formed a team, Chengzi and Xiaoyan, who were too frightened to touch their wrists.

Although it doesn’t hurt, it’s disturbing enough... This is the wrist. If something happens, it won’t be the same as cutting the wrist!

 “Go, come back here in six hours and I will settle your wages.” The foreman waved his hand and drove the wary deducers out.

 After leaving the locker room, Xiaoyan's crying voice sounded behind Yu Xing: "Chengzi, what should I do? I'm scared!"

Yu Xing's attention was diverted, and he saw that although Chengzi himself was pale, he still stroked Xiaoyan's back and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, we will abide by the rules and everything will be fine. I'm here." Woolen cloth."

 It seems that these two are really newcomers, and they were probably forced into the deduction game by the system when the time came.

Yu Xing was so active that the system couldn't find any faults, so the system didn't remind him. In fact, a player below the differentiation level must enter the game every half a month. If he doesn't take the initiative, he will be forced to do so.

This kind of avoidance is understandable, but it often means that the deducer himself is afraid. Usually, the results of such people will not be very good.

 “Where are we going?” Zhao Yijiu interrupted Yu Xing’s thoughts.

Yu Xing withdrew his attention, said nothing, and just pointed to a sign in front of him.

There is a dividing line between the three halls on the first floor, and the space between each two halls will be narrowed. A double-sided sign will be placed at the entrance.

 The dressing room is opened separately, and the sign at the entrance of the hall next to it is called - Bian'an.

 Zhao Yijiu understood what he meant. It was not that they should stay in the Bi'an Jiu Cafe, but that they should go to the Bi'an Jiu Cafe first, avoid other people, and then discuss the action plan.

 The two of them left the six people who were still thinking in place and took the lead in walking into the wine cafe.

Yu Xing lowered his voice and said, "Let's go to Wangchuan."

If we draw a plan view of the topography of the first floor of the bar, Bian, Huangquan, and Wangchuan are connected in sequence from left to right, and the door is on the side of Huangquan Disco.

During the deduction, Yu Xingjin appeared directly in the Huangquan Disco in the middle. Then, before he had time to go to the Wangchuan Hall to take a look, he passed by the Bi'an Wine Club and went to the dressing room.

 Zhao Yijiu said lightly: "Because of the stairs?"

"That's right." Yu Xing remained calm despite the occasional glances from the ghostly guests in the other side of the bar.

It is precisely because the bar has a second floor and they did not see any stairs when they went to the dressing room, so they can guess that the stairs leading to the second floor should be near Wangchuan Winery and Cafe.

Being close to the stairs is the most convenient for them to go up and down the stairs, and they can also observe other groups going up and down the stairs. There is another important reason...

Yu Xing glanced at him, suddenly quickened his pace, and squeezed into the crowd of people in Huangquan Disco.

Zhao Yijiu didn't quite understand what was wrong with him. He looked back as if he was feeling something, and saw a woman in a red dress standing up at some point. She looked at Yu Xing's back, which was overwhelmed by the twisting figures, with a slightly expression on her face. disappointment.

If Yu Xing hadn't slipped away fast enough, she might have caught up.

 Zhao Yijiu: “…”

Without saying anything, he turned his head silently, got out of the way of the disco crowd, and walked towards Wangchuan Wine and Café.

 …

 It’s a good risk.

Yu Xingxing successfully passed through the noisy ghost crowd, but he still had lingering fears. That red-clothed fierce ghost hasn’t given up on him yet!

With his current status as a waiter, if the red-clothed ghost makes any excessive demands, he is not afraid of being forced. He is just afraid that he will accidentally fall out and beat the red-clothed ghost.

That would be a lot of fun, he would probably be beaten up by a group of people immediately and then complained.

Soon, Zhao Yijiu followed him. Without asking anything, he passed him and entered Wangchuan Hall.

 Speaking of it, all the nouns in this "Qingqinggui Bar" are quite interesting, and correspond one to one with the ancient Chinese legend of the underworld.

　　　means Wangchuan River.

Many people think that the Yellow Spring is the river in the underworld that needs to be crossed. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The river that the ghosts have to cross is called the River of Forgetfulness.

Biluo Huangquan, Biluo is the sky, and Huangquan is the underground. Although Huangquan is also called one of the nine hells and nine springs, in fact it is an underground road.

Legend has it that after death, ghosts lead the way, step through the gate of hell, and walk through the road of hell. Before entering the underworld, the Wangchuan River divides it into two sides. There is a Naihe Bridge above the Wangchuan River. After drinking Meng Po soup on the bridge, all the past events will be forgotten. False.

The water of the Wangchuan River is blood yellow, and the Wangchuan Wine and Coffee in the Qinggui Bar also uses this color.

The dim yellow light illuminates each booth dimly. The dark yellow bar looks gorgeous and textured. It is leaning against the wall. The wine bottles in the cabinet are filled with intoxicating and beautiful liquid. The bartender is an unknown age. The woman's whole body was covered in black gauze, covering her mouth and nose, revealing only a pair of pure black eyes without the white of the eyes.

Yu Xing saw the staircase in the corner. The staircase was entirely ink, with blood-red embellishments on the handrails. He almost immediately thought of what this staircase represented—Naihe Bridge.

So, does the second floor symbolize Hades?

 “Give us the drink list.”

Suddenly, Zhao Yijiu's voice sounded next to Yu Xing. Yu Xing looked and saw that Zhao Yijiu actually walked to the bar and took the initiative to talk to the female bartender.

There were only a few people sitting in front of the bar, probably because the nightclub had just begun and for ghosts, night was a more suitable time to enjoy, so there were not many people in the Wangchuan Hall, which was in sharp contrast to the bustle in the Huangquan Hall.

 The wine list contains the names and prices of all the wines sold, making it easier to sell to guests.

Yu Xing glanced at him one more time: Unexpectedly, Zhao Yijiu was quite experienced.

 He also walked over.

"You are the new waiters today." Although this bartender is also dressed strangely, she is obviously more comfortable than the male bartender with white powder on her face in the other side hall. Her voice is soft and skillful. He took out a piece of paper from the bottom of the cabinet and handed it to Zhao Yijiu, "Here, according to the rules, you must complete my request before you can get the complete drink list."

Zhao Yijiu nodded expressionlessly, took a look at the paper, and then handed it to Yu Xing.

Yu Xing glanced at it briefly and saw the note saying:

　　【An evil ghost climbed up on the ferry on the Wangchuan River. It bribed the ferryman and came to the Naihe Bridge. It was meant to linger in the river forever. Please find this evil spirit in this hall and trick it into buying a wine called "Under the River of Forgetfulness". 】

In addition, there are more than 20 kinds of wine names written on this piece of paper, but the wine introduction and price list are missing.

 Evil Ghost Tongue, Regret Cocktail, Under the River of Forgetfulness, Insatiable Desire, Melancholy Ghost, Impermanence Ice Beer... there are more than twenty kinds, including the most expensive one, Meng Po Soup.

 “That’s interesting.” Yu Xing muttered, looked at each other and turned around to start the task.

 The bartender's hand paused, and his dark eyes even revealed an emotion called confusion.

 Wait a minute...you haven't asked me why I have this rule and how strong is this evil ghost?

 Are you so enthusiastic about work?
