Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 155 The initial absurdity

The goddess was squatting by the river, wiping the area around the wound with the wet corner of her clothes.

Yu Xing's footsteps were not easy to hear amid the sound of flowing water, but the goddess turned around after he got closer.

"Are you back?" Her eyes fell on the suitcase in Yu Xing's hand, "Thank you, are you not lost?"

By then, there was some sweat on Yu Xing's forehead, his breathing was slightly unsteady, and he looked like he had been running all the way. For those who don’t know, I really thought he was worried about the injured Goddess: “It’s a bit difficult to tell the direction in the forest. I walked around for a while, but I was late.”

With that said, he quickly rushed to the goddess and looked at the scars on her legs.

The speed of the blood flow has slowed down significantly. Now, covered by the cold river water, the blood has half-congealed and surged at the front of the scar and no longer falls.

The goddess's handling of the problem was very professional, and there was no need for Yu Xing to do anything. And Yu Xing didn't use the medical kit much. In the past, when he was injured when he was a child, his family doctor helped him.

He recalled in his mind the goddess' skill in treating wounds, so he opened the medicine box and handed it over: "I don't know how to do this, you can do it yourself."

The goddess smiled, took the box, picked out the medicine she needed, and began to bandage herself. Yu Xing watched from beginning to end and felt that her technique might be really practiced. After all, there were so many people in the village who cut meat for offerings, and there was no doctor.

Although he didn't know what method the goddess used to keep a group of skeletons "alive", he guessed that if someone was really going to die, in order to maintain the illusion that people who believe in gods would not die, the goddess would definitely help treat them. .

"Can you carry me back later?" The bandage was almost done, and the goddess did not surprise Yu Xing.

Yu Xing smiled, a little embarrassed: "Of course, everyone in the village respects you. As a newcomer, of course I will be obedient."

"No, I don't want you to help me because of this... I just think you have a good eye, so I kept you. I hope you can treat me like a friend." The goddess frowned, "Now I I’m not ordering you to do anything for me as a goddess, I’m just asking for your help.”

The revered goddess actually spoke to him in such an equal tone, and Yu Xing showed some flatterment at the right time.

"no problem."

 After a while.

 He ​​squatted down and carried the goddess on his back, feeling a heavy weight suddenly on his back, and unfamiliar breathing rhythmically coming and going behind his ears.

 “Thank you for your hard work.” The goddess didn’t show any closeness immediately, but she was just a little less forceful than at the beginning.

 After the two returned to the village, Yu Xing found that it was getting dark again, and the time every day was at least three times faster, which shortened his daytime activities a lot.

However, the hours at night should also be shortened. He had no way of knowing how many hours he had slept in the past few days. In short, it was a number that made him feel sleepy from time to time.

 At night, Yu Xing slept at Granny Li's house as usual. Granny Li didn't do anything wrong today, and Yu Xing slept peacefully.

His mood is getting more and more stable, because there are already clues about what is going on here, and all the things he wants to find out but cannot find out, when the goddess and the water ghost take action against him, he will take the opportunity to know.

He was afraid that there was no way to advance this incident. Now that there is a way, he just needs to wait for the opportunity.

It is worth mentioning that one day's thinking made him suspect that he was in the realm of some kind of ghost, and his memory was blocked by this powerful ghost.

The reason why he thinks this way is because he can't think of any other reason to strip away his memory, not even the actor can do this.

The actor is still a human being after all. Even if he possesses a mysterious power that is difficult for him to understand at first, he cannot directly send his body or consciousness to a scene that is so realistic.

Of course, if in the memory that he cannot recall, reality has passed for a long time, and the actor's ability may have become stronger... But Yu Xing feels that this possibility is not as high as he thinks now.

Yu Xing remembers that when he was imprisoned in the experimental base, he had to draw blood, take slices, and test various values ​​with medical equipment imported from abroad that was not that efficient at first.

 But in his anger and pain, he noticed something that shouldn't be in the base.

It was a black, indescribable thing, suspended at the end of dozens of tubes inserted into his skin every day, sending wisps of unknown mist into his body.

The mist made him feel cold all over, and he could also feel that, under the transformation of this mass of things, his body was constantly changing in a direction away from humans, and his mind was gradually alienated.

 The experimenters could see this mass, but no one dared to approach it, only the actors dared to approach it.

The actor would come to check it every once in a while, and then smiled and said to the already numb Yu Xing: "I really saw you right, the fusion is really good, surpassing all other experiments so far. Young Master, it's not in vain for me to You spend so much time."

Occasionally, Yu Xing could see other weirdly dressed people coming in and out with the actors, and overhear something with his hearing that had become too sensitive.

For example, actors and those people often have to enter some other place, and the most common name they call that place is "absurdity."

 There are many, many ghosts in absurdity. This is what Yu Xing guessed based on what he heard.

On rare occasions, he heard the word "game".

 He ​​gradually guessed that the black mass that was transforming him and that was contrary to science seemed to be brought out by the actor from the absurd, a sacrifice or a fragment.

Since then, he has wanted to know what the actor got from that absurd place. If the mysterious power in the actor came from there, he also wanted to know.

 If he can get those powers, he can be less passive, right?

  It can't be like an exhibit being pointed at by so many people, right?

Even his alienated thoughts kept reminding him that with his own power, he could kill all these people, right? The actor's whole body was burned by the flames, and he screamed and died in pain.

 But until he escaped from the base, he did not find any more information about that absurd place, and now...

 Yu Xing is very confident in himself.

After his body and mind were transformed, he did not believe that he would not be able to find clues to the absurd in the future. He knew that after he was free, no matter what happened along the way, he would always look for the absurd.

 Because the actor was not there on the day he left the base, he did not have a head-on confrontation with the actress.

 So the actor is still alive.

In order to prevent the actor from being disadvantageous to him again, he will definitely try his best to take the initiative and ensure that he is not manipulated at will. If we say that he is now in the absurd, in the realm of some absurd ghost - then everything will make sense.

"Although I can't be sure, this is indeed the highest possibility. I hope my understanding of myself is not wrong." Yu Xing rested his hand on his pillow in the night outside the window.

 Before going to bed, he borrowed the bathroom of Granny Li's house to take a bath, which Granny Li heated with fire.

Yu Xing has almost never seen such an old method of boiling water. He was born into a wealthy family and was an official in ancient times. After the founding of the Republic of China, he ran a local chamber of commerce and did all kinds of business.

 He ​​has never done business, but he knows more or less about it. In short, there are people from his family in both black and white, so he has always lived a life with very good material conditions.

 Having showers since childhood.

At the experimental base, he either had to take a shower, or he was soaked in a weird liquid and had no chance to take a shower at all.

So taking a hot bath in a wooden bucket for the first time was really a bit novel for him, but this novelty faded away after thinking about the current situation.

"Suppose I am right. If you want to leave here, there may be two ways. First, investigate clearly what happened between the two villages and restore a complete chain. Then you can lift the restriction and return to reality. Second, kill That water ghost...because the water ghost is the only supernatural thing I have seen here." Yu Xing muttered to himself, organizing all his thoughts into two tasks.

 Of these two tasks, the first one is more difficult for him.

Because if he wanted to figure out the whole incident, he had to keep going along with the irregular flow of time. The second mission, killing the water ghost, is much clearer.

Yu Xing pinched his knuckles and felt the power in his body: "I don't know why my strength is so much weaker than in memory. Is this also a kind of restriction?"

My strength is 10% less than when I first escaped, and the sensitivity of my five senses has also dropped a lot. My physical strength is even worse than that of a normal person, as if my entire body has been destroyed by a curse from the inside.

He knew that the curse on his body would not be eliminated in the future, because when he was touched by the goddess for the first time, he had a cold and cold feeling for a moment. This feeling was too familiar to him. He had a pipe inserted to receive the mist from Heituanzi every day. This feeling will last forever.

But at that time, his physical fitness was at its most terrifying stage. The cold aura could only bring him pain, and the real harm was not great. Unlike now, Yu Xing felt that if he aroused that surge of aura, he would not be able to escape. He would be dead in half an hour.

 Death...resurrect after death, and repeat the process.

However, he weighed it, and if he really exploded the aura in a suicidal manner, the water ghost would definitely be wiped out in it.

 It is an indiscriminate attack when the breath bursts out, which may hurt innocent people.

However, he has no good intentions now. Whether these villagers are innocent or not is not a consideration for him, so it is not difficult to kill the water ghost.

"Let's see tomorrow... try to figure out the incident as much as possible." Yu Xing said softly and closed his eyes.

 His spirit also needs to be nourished.

 …

　　【Photographer Qinggui Yiqing, it has been detected that you have used the natural ability "Dream Intervention" on the deduction player Yu Xing. Now the restrictions on you will be strengthened. In this deduction, you have lost your dream-related abilities. 】

Although the deduction system was silent in Yu Xing's mind, as an individual hidden in Yu Xing's persona, Yiqing could still receive warnings from the system alone from time to time.

In an imaginary bamboo house, Yiqing was lying on a bamboo chair with his hair spread out. He was fanning himself with a fan, smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking like a bad student who didn't listen.

"Why are you so strict? I just increased the probability of him dreaming about the past. Let me tell you, even if I don't interfere, with his ability, he will be able to recall part of it soon." She closed her fan with a snap and shouted. Taking a sip of hot tea, "It's better to let this happen in a dream, and I can still watch. Wouldn't it be better to know more about him?"

　　【The promotion of a deducer requires your own efforts, and no outside power can interfere. You have violated the rules. 】

The system really responded to him, and Yi Qing took another sip of tea: "What a great opportunity this is. You only prompted me to follow him, but you didn't tell me what kind of person he was. If you didn't tell me, I would naturally have to do it myself." Find a way. Well, I know you are not a living being and have no emotions, but are just an empty will. But isn't it what you are best at?"

He seemed to be talking to himself in the air, but he was not embarrassed at all. You smiled to himself, and the old **** was saying: "Since you wanted me to monitor him after discovering the abnormality in his data...then you should give me some permissions." , Let me have an environment to monitor him."

“Well, I understand the meaning of surveillance myself. You are afraid that this abnormal data will undergo uncontrollable changes, and you need a strong enough person or ghost to contain it, so I agreed.”

This green-shooting ghost of unknown age lazily raised his eyes, looked at the misty chaos outside the bamboo house window and the strange dreams that flashed through the chaos from time to time, and said in a negotiating tone: "But if you are a boring person, I will I won't agree to this job. Most of what I said to him in the bar is true. You must have heard it. I followed him because I was interested in him. It can be said that... my interest in him comes first, yours. The tip is only second, so if you want me to continue to keep an eye on this unstable factor for you, don't stop me from exploring this interesting person, what do you say?"

　　【You have violated the rules. In view of your mission, there will be no penalty for this violation, but you still need to stop interfering with the promotion game of Deducer Yu Xing. 】

"Okay~ okay~ Anyway, I have seen part of it. He is more fun than I thought. I will definitely not be bored in the next ten years." Yiqing accepted it as soon as he saw it, and did not bargain with the system anymore. Then suddenly Thinking of something, "However, the more I read, the more I feel that there is something wrong with Yu Xing's age."

“Not only will he not be killed, but he will also not die of old age?” When the system prompted him to sign an agreement with Yu Xing, he did not mention this.

Although Yiqing has no regrets now, she already feels that she has been tricked by the system.

This time, the system remained silent, as if it did not hear his question.

 …

 Have a good night’s sleep.

Yu Xing came back to consciousness under the warm sunshine and found that he had not dreamed today.

Sure enough, last night when he was about to dream about the mountain village, he was intercepted by a mysterious force. This force would not allow him to obtain excess information through the medium of dreams.

 He closed his eyes for a moment and suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice: "Brother Yu Xing, brother Yu Xing, get up!"

　　A young and energetic voice sounded from his ears. Yu Xing opened his eyes in surprise and saw Mai Mai's little face.

 He suppressed the surprise in his eyes and looked around.

 Good guy, he's back to the old Zhang family again...and it's still the old Zhang family that hasn't turned into a deserted village.

I declare! As expected, the two daily chapters will be merged into one chapter! It’s still 4000+, there’s no difference in word count, I just want the average order to increase faster (﹃)
