Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 178 Alice Hell (11)-Blood and Cabinet

 “Wash together?”

 “No need, there’s only an hour.”

“Have you seen the bathroom? Who washes first?”

 …

When Yu Xing walked to the bathroom on the red cashmere carpet, he saw two men standing at the door, discussing.

 It is Yi and Han Zhiyong.

Zheng tried to ask Han Zhiyong if they wanted to take a shower together, but Han Zhiyong refused.

 Other than these two people, the two girls Han Xinyi and Huang Bai were not here, and neither was Bai Mian.

 No one is wearing a mask at this moment, and the straps behind the mask are tied around the waist.

Yu Xing could see that the two people seemed to have varying degrees of scratches on their bodies, and their faces were also stained. They probably encountered ghosts, but they didn't know which one was screaming upstairs.

 In short, they seemed to be less anxious. They probably finally understood the dangers of occupying the room and calmed down.

As soon as Han Zhiyong saw Yu Xing coming, he immediately stopped discussing anything. Instead, he closed his mouth and gave him a provocative look.

　　 Yu Xing: “…”

 Oh, look at me?

Yu Xing smiled back at Han Zhiyong.

Although Han Zhiyong had just rejected Yi, he did not intend to leave after Yu Xing, Zeng Lai and Huai arrived. Everyone wants to finish taking a shower early and then occupy the room with peace of mind. It is better than occupying the room while worrying about whether something unexpected will happen and it will be too late to enter the bathroom during bathing time.

 Alice does not like others being late. This has been reminded many times by the nun and the housekeeper in just a few hours. Obviously, this condition must be adhered to, otherwise the price may be terrible.

 “Hey, you are all here.”

 The next moment, two girls came over.

Hangbai and Han Xinyi didn't know when they bumped into each other, so they came over together. She looked at the men blocking the door strangely, and then waved her hands: "I don't know what you are doing, but anyway... come on?"

Huai: "Come on?"

 Zeng Lai: “What oil should I add??”

Yu Xing said: "Come on, too."

Huang Bai happily walked into the women's bathroom. Han Xinyi pursed her lips, raised her eyes at Yu Xing, and followed her in. Zeng Lai then turned around and asked Yu Xing confusedly: "What kind of oil should I add?"

Yu Xing didn't know either. He didn't get the absurd brain circuit and just responded casually.

 He spread his hands: "It's not important, let's go in."

Huai said nothing and raised his legs first, as if he didn't want to make a fuss like Zeng Lai.

After several others followed him in, Han Zhiyong, who had just refused, frowned.

 Forget it, let’s go together.

 The slap in the face always comes so quickly.

　　Everyone had explored the bathroom before, but it was not bathing time and there was nothing there.

This time they went in. The bathtub in the center of the bathroom was filled with water. Steam was rising upwards, and the water mist filled the air, fogging up the mirrors mounted on the walls.

The light of various colored gemstones is refracted in the water, making the water surface look strange. It feels like a witch mixed the potions together and made a pot of poisonous soup.

Huaiyi passed the large bath and walked towards the individual wooden bathtubs surrounding the bath: "I use the bathtub here..."

 I got stuck mid-sentence.

Yu Xing also walked towards a bathtub at this time, and then his eyes were bright red.

 The bathtub that was empty before is now filled with blood!

You don’t feel it when you are far away, but when you get closer, you can smell the unique smell of blood lingering on the tip of your nose.

 An unsettling feeling spread throughout.

Zeng Lei paused: "Do you still need it?"

Huai: "...No."

Yu Xing silently stopped her legs and walked towards the bath with a dull face.

 What does it mean if there is blood in the bathroom tub during their designated time?

 Don’t know, no one knows.

They subconsciously moved away from the bathtub. They looked around and asked, "What should I do? Just wash like this? Where are the changes of clothes?"

 “Go to the closet and have a look.” Yu Xing said.

He remembered that there were eight locked wardrobes. Now that the time has come, maybe they can be opened.

Sure enough, several people walked to the closet. The cabinets that could not be opened before were able to be opened. There was a label on the door.

“Please put the changed clothes into the closet. The new clothes will be automatically put into the closet after everyone has finished bathing.”

 Hint: Each person's title is also written below, and the eight wardrobes correspond one to one.

At this moment, Bai Mian also came in. A man came to Jin Qian quietly, with a frighteningly low sense of presence.

Huai found his wardrobe and said calmly: "Okay, there is no real danger for the time being, so wash up early and leave early."

 After saying that, he took off his shirt.

 He is a little thinner than he looks, a bit emaciated, and does not seem to be the kind of person who relies on his physical skills.

Yu Xing also opened the cabinet and took a look. There was a white bath towel hanging in the cabinet, and there was a grid on the upper level.

There were all men present, and Yu Xing was not too scrupulous. He finished taking off his clothes in a few seconds, wrapped the towel around his waist, covering his important parts, and then dug into the pockets of his trousers.

 A piece of wire…

 A lock…

 A utility knife…

 A small mirror…

These were all taken out of the utility room on the second floor. Since he entered the utility room, there was no reason not to grab something.

He put the things in the grid, and then he glanced at the mirror again, but he didn't see his "good friend" in the mirror.

 So far, nothing more unusual than the bathtub.

Several people got out of the bath one after another. Although the bath was dimly lit, the effect of relieving fatigue was immediate.

 The hot water wrapped around the skin, and Yu Xing breathed out lightly.

His physique gives him a natural affinity for warm things. Warm things are always better than coldness, better than the coolness and curse that flow through his limbs and are carved into his bones.

A few people fell silent and immersed themselves in short-term comfort.

About two or three minutes passed like this.

 In the silence, Zeng Lai couldn't help it.

Taking a bath is a relaxing thing, especially if you are a strong person, you will feel less nervous and want to talk to others as soon as you relax.

He glanced beside him. Huai's curly hair was dampened by the moisture. He was closing his eyes not knowing what he was thinking, while Xing was frowning slightly, seeming a little uneasy.

Zeng Lai's eyes lit up and he found the topic. He asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"

 Yu Xing: "...it's okay."

Pushing the hair from his forehead back with his hands, Yu Xing closed his eyes and silently counted the time in his heart. Zeng Lai refused to give up: "You don't look good."

Yu Xing sighed. When he felt that he should not have a rosy complexion, he replied: "Anemia."

 That's right, he was counting the time he took to take a bath. Due to his physical condition, he couldn't take a bath for too long, otherwise he would faint directly.

 Alas...people's joys and sorrows are not the same.

When he said this, Huai opened his eyes and glanced at him with some surprise, and interjected: "I thought you were one of those whose abilities are related to ghosts... I didn't expect it to be due to physical reasons."

Han Zhiyong, Yi and Bai Mian also looked over. They originally wanted to see how bad Yu Xing's face was, but after taking a look, they found that there was only one realization that was magnifying at a glance, and that was -

This guy looks really good at causing trouble to others.

 The three of them looked away angrily.

As for her face, I feel that Xing has always been pale, so it doesn’t matter.

After a while, he said hysterically: "Well, should we integrate the current information on ghosts? After all, ghosts are our common enemies. In order to survive, it is still temporary..."

Han Zhiyong interrupted him: "No."

"But…"

“Don’t forget, it’s not just ghosts who are enemies, but also each other.” Han Zhiyong sneered, “As long as we have a conflict of interest and the death of others is beneficial to us, it will be impossible to cooperate.”

Zeng Lai also said: "Look, if someone doesn't want to cooperate, it's better to pull them down. In the deduction of eight people, it is unrealistic for everyone to cooperate. Just be careful."



Yu Xing held up his hands and sat on the edge of the bathtub. He picked up the folded white towel and put it on his naked upper body. He did not participate in the topic of cooperation or not and just said: "I won't take a bath anymore."

 Not participating is actually a statement. He sighed and had to give up.

Yu Xing wiped it with a towel for a while, walked to his cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and took out the change of clothes prepared for him by Alice Castle.

How should I evaluate it... In addition to the necessary clothes, Alice also prepared a new set of clothes for them with [Alice Hell Tour Group] printed on them.

The clothes were placed in the upper compartment. The old clothes were gone, but the things he took from the utility room were still there. Yu Xing put it on without haste and looked up at the space in the cabinet that could accommodate one person.

 A few empty clothes hangers were hanging alone on the wooden poles, which did not affect the volume of the space at all. He raised his eyebrows slightly, always feeling that in a horror environment, having such a cabinet seemed like an indispensable presence in some horror games.

 The flashlight is my father, and the cabinet is my mother.

 Yu Xing has an intuition and always feels that it will come in handy...

Speaking of which, after leaving the bath, he realized that the air in the bathroom was not actually stuffy, but rather faintly cold, which gradually made his head, which was a little groggy due to being in the hot water, gradually clear up.

The temperature doesn’t seem right.

"ah!"

　　Whatever I was thinking about, a scream suddenly came from the women's bathroom next door. The sound was ridiculous.

Everyone was stunned. Yu Xing even felt for a moment that Han Xinyi had made a move on Huang Bai.

 A few seconds later, Huang Bai shouted again: "Huai!! It has passed, hide quickly!"

Her words only reminded Huai, but it didn't matter. The faces of the deducers in the men's bath changed.

 What is coming?

 Where to hide?

With the sound of running water, they stood up one by one. They had no time to change their clothes, so they could only hold white towels and lay them casually, looking at the entrance of the bathroom as if they were in danger.

Huangbai was still shouting: "It can't be seen by its eyes. It can't sense human breath. It only relies on vision. Hide quickly!"

 Can’t be seen? Is it a regular ghost?

 Everyone looked around and happened to see Yu Xing in front of the cabinet, and naturally they also saw the space in the cabinet.

Hye's eyes lit up: "Hide in the closet! Wait until this thing is gone!"

Zeng Lai said: "Okay, hurry up!"

Yu Xing watched them all run to their respective cabinets, frowned, and took out a small thing from the compartment above the cabinet. Then instead of entering the cabinet, he reached out and grabbed the towel on Zeng Lai's waist.

Zeng Lai braked suddenly, grabbed the towel to prevent it from falling, and gave Yu Xing a big question mark with his eyes.

Yu Xing said softly: "Do you remember the blood stains we saw in other cabinets before? Where do you think...the blood came from?"

Zeng Lai was startled, and then his pupils shrank.

 “Damn it, I almost got cheated.”

His hands and eyes quickly caught the locust tree: "Wait, don't go in - let's hide somewhere else, don't go into the cupboard!"

At the same time, a shrill ghost roar came from outside, moving from far to near very quickly, making people's hair stand on end.

Huai slightly hesitated and was dragged away by the strong Zeng Lai. He thought that there was no need for Zeng Lai to harm him at this time, so he followed him.

—This is probably the benefit of the gambler Zeng Lai being a star deducer on the right path. In times of crisis, no one with good connections will suspect him of having bad intentions.

Zeng Lai has a loud voice. If Yu Xing’s words were only heard by Zeng Lai, then Zeng Lai’s words were heard by everyone. He put his hands on the cabinet door, and after thinking about it, he actually obeyed and didn't enter the cabinet.

The bathroom is only so big in total. Apart from the wardrobe, the only things that can block the view are the bathtubs filled with blood.

 It’s not that you have to sink your whole body—if you do this, it’s not certain whether something else will be triggered.

 Simply speaking, the bathtub is large enough for an adult male to hide behind it without being discovered.

Zeng Lai took Huai and squatted behind the bathtub, and found that Yi had also found a bathtub for cover alone. He didn't say anything. Then he looked up and saw that Yu Xing was still in the cupboard!

 At the door, in the steaming steam of the bathroom, a vague black figure had appeared, twisted and deformed, and it was undoubtedly a ghost.

 Hey, what are these idiots waiting for?

 He shouted urgently: "Xing, why don't you hide quickly!"

Yu Xing turned around, smiled at him, and played with the things in his hands.

Neither Han Zhiyong nor Bai Mian listened to Zeng Lai's words, they got into the cabinet decisively and closed the door.

The white-faced man is taciturn and extremely unsociable. Yu Xing has never heard him speak. And Han Zhiyong still wants to enter the closet, probably out of some sense of distrust...

 He is on the opposite side of Yu Xing. What if Yu Xing and others were prepared for the current situation and deliberately lured him away from a safe place?

With this mentality, Han Zhiyong hid in the cabinet. The light was blocked, plunging him into darkness.

He is very familiar with this. It can be said that staying in the dark makes him feel more secure.

However, the next moment, he heard a slight "click".

 Then there was a dull sound of something hitting the cabinet door.

Han Zhiyong was stunned for a moment, then pushed the door open.

 Can't push it away... Damn, it's locked!

 He narrowed his eyes and asked gloomily: "Who!"

The voice outside was darker than his, with a hint of joking in its magnetism, and a hint of frightening coolness: "Who else could it be?"

"Yu Xing! What the **** do you want to do!?" The ghost was nearby, and Han Zhiyong did not dare to speak too loudly, so he could only ask through gritted teeth,

Outside the closet, Yu Xing flipped the lock with his fingers. This was what he had just taken out from the miscellaneous items. There was a subtle arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you made the wrong choice and gave me a chance... then deal with it well."

   I have been too busy these days and the update time is unstable, but it will not be interrupted.
