Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 206 Alice Hell (39)-Nutrition

The contrast between the warmth on his hands and the coldness in his body made Yu Xing's nerves more touched at this moment. His current physical condition meant that he could not waste time, but the situation in front of him was very difficult.

The anger in Zeng Lai's eyes was very real, as if Yu Xing had really "broken trust" and broken part of his body.

 But both his words and deeds and his still-working heart told Yu Xing that Zeng Lai was still a human being and had not completely turned into something weird.

 Things are not out of control yet.

He raised the rose that had lost its nutrients in front of Zeng Lai, raised his voice, and concealed some deliberately suppressed disbelief in his calmness: "Look carefully at what this is!? You can't see what you look like now. !"

Zeng Lai lost his voice in pain, and his eyes were blank for a moment.

 “What…what does it look like?”

Isn’t this the rose that grows on him? What else could it be like?

 Why did Xing want to hurt him? We obviously worked very well together before!

Yu Xing could see his eyes clearly, and his narrow eyes narrowed uncomfortably. He didn't know whether he didn't want to look directly at Zeng Lai, who was covered in roses, which was really dazzling, or because he didn't want to see Zeng Lai's idiotic look.

But in the end, he chose to look directly at Zeng Lai, and threw the **** rose in Rose's hand to the dirt ground as if throwing away garbage. With his free hand, he picked up Zeng Lai's collar and said in a deep voice: "What do you think? Is it normal for humans to have roses growing on them?”

"What..." Zeng Lai frowned deeply, as if he couldn't understand what Yu Xing said.

"Sober up—forget it, do you still have the concept of ghosts in your mind now?" Yu Xing felt that his blood vessels were rioting with his chaotic emotions at that moment, and the cold breath was rushing through it, as if he was being Carry out illegal speed racing in the body.

His whole body was shaking at this moment, and he could barely hold on to Zeng Lai. Blood flowed from his nose and mouth. Yu Xing sighed deeply, took back his hand, took a step back, and wiped it randomly.

The pain reached its peak, but he calmed down.

 Strange, I shouldn’t have such a big reaction.

 Is it the unpleasant smell in the air here that amplifies the weak emotions in my heart... Yu Xing closed his eyes.

"Ghost? Of course I know...what do you want to say?" Zeng Lai gritted his teeth.

Yu Xing tried his best to calm down the cold air. He held another rose on Zeng Lai's arm threateningly: "Now, please understand everything I say carefully."

"You have been assimilated. These roses on your body did not grow on you before you entered this tunnel."

“You can understand that there is some kind of malicious force that is transforming your body and affecting your brain, making you about to become a fool who turns into a ghost without realizing it.”

Zeng Lai was stunned. Although he was called a fool, his anger subsided a lot. After all, he was a deducer with excellent thinking ability. Various possibilities flashed through his mind and he began to consider Yu Xing's words carefully.

Yeah? I didn’t have any roses on me originally?

 It seems to be like this, and no one else has it.

Zeng Lai’s feeling now is like your friend suddenly looking at you and telling you with confusion, why do you have a nose? All humans have no nose.

 And if you look to both sides, you will see that other people do not have noses.

 A few seconds later, his pupils shrank and he couldn't help but look at the unopened rose stems all over his body.

 “It seems like...that’s it?”

 A few seconds later, Zeng Lai covered his head, confusion appearing in his eyes.

“There seems to be something wrong, I suddenly have a strange feeling...”

 After realizing something was wrong, something seemed to be broken in his mind, and a certain isolated concept came back to his mind.

 Twenty seconds later, Zeng Lai finally looked horrified: "Holy shit, why do I have these things growing on my body!?"

 Very good, now his face looks even worse than Yu Xing's.

Yu Xing breathed a sigh of relief—Zeng Lai’s cognition had not been completely distorted. He still remembered his identity as a deducer and could still be corrected.

Yu Xing couldn’t remember whether he had ever experienced cognitive tampering, but he could understand the feeling.

 To use an inappropriate analogy, this is like a person who suddenly has a short-circuit in his brain and uses the TV remote control to turn on the air conditioner and fails. This person carefully observed one remote control, even pressed the battery again, and checked it again and again. He clearly knew what the two remote controls looked like, but he just didn't feel that he had taken the wrong one.

At this moment, the person’s mind deeply recognized that the TV remote control in his hand was originally the air conditioner remote control.

 The "truth" is right in front of us, but it is covered up by a layer of "falseness", which affects people's cognition.

Until someone reminded him that he took the wrong remote control, he realized what he had just done and became confused about his behavior.

Zeng Lai was like this at this time. After Yu Xing laid out his words in front of him and explained them clearly, he straightened out his chaotic thoughts one by one, and a deep fear emerged... He actually didn't realize what was happening to him at all. thing!

How terrible, more terrible than the cryer standing directly in front of him!

 “Remember?” Yu Xing asked in confirmation.

"Oh my God, holy shit, it hurts!" Not only did Zeng Lai remember it, he also tried to pull out a rose, but as soon as he exerted force, he felt the same pain as peeling off the skin.

This man was sweating coldly, looking at Yu Xing with a look full of help: "How could this happen?"

 It’s not his fault that he gave up thinking, but in this situation, Xing who came to him obviously knew more information.

Yu Xing took a breath and pointed to Zeng Lai's hand that stopped due to severe pain: "What does it feel like?"

Zeng Lai said: "It feels like a layer of skin has been removed by force, and a muscle has been pulled out from under the skin."

Hearing this, Yu Xing's idea of ​​helping the other party to pull out all the roots dissipated a little: "Then, now, can you still remember how you became like this?"

"Well, the sacrifice I used to counteract the curse couldn't be used anymore. Then it seemed like... I kept walking into the tunnel. My skin was a little itchy, especially the wound. I felt like something was growing. At first I thought it was the wound healing, but I didn’t pay much attention to it, and it didn’t take long for the roses to grow. But at that time, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the roses, and I just thought they were part of me, and they grew more and more.”

Zeng Lai tried very hard to recall, but Cheng Cheng was frightened by this experience.

It’s not like he has never heard of cognitive tampering. He has even experienced deduction games in which memories were tampered with, but this time it was different. This time he had no relevant awareness at all and was assimilated completely naturally and silently.

If Xing hadn't reminded him, he might have just maintained his "thinking ability" and turned into an inhuman thing.

He doesn’t know exactly what it will become. It’s unlikely to be anything good.

"Are there no other opportunities along the way... In other words, it is very likely that if you stay in the tunnel for a long time, the wound scratched by the rose will change." Time is the most likely answer, and Yu Xing Looking at himself, the reason why he didn't feel anything at all was because his wounds were completely healed and it wasn't time yet?

 Yeah, 80% yes.

Zeng Lai also thought about it. While he was scared, he was also a little annoyed at his carelessness.

 It’s too doggy.

This deduction is too stupid.

Humistically, a death point was set up that was so easy to attack.

 Normally speaking, deductions rarely involve certain death, because this is inconsistent with the purpose of the deduction. What the deduction system wants is not the death of the deducer, it wants the truth. Of course, the Rose Tunnel is not certain to die, as long as the person who enters it gets out within a certain time.

Now it seems that this critical point should be about fifty minutes. Zeng Lai wasted half an hour in front of that door, so it timed out.

It is easy to explain. Alice deliberately set up such a trap in order to prevent others from coming in - it makes sense.

 After calming down, Zeng Lai breathed a sigh of relief again. Fortunately, he realized it now and regained the initiative.

He took out the simple-looking sacrificial scissors from his persona, his heart skipped a beat, his eyes closed, and with a click, he touched the roses on his body.

"ah-"

The flesh-colored spikes on the rose shrank together, and Zeng Lai's cry of pain followed. Fortunately, the next moment, a black mist surged from the cut place, and this black mist was like a corrosive that destroyed the remaining flower stems. It was swallowed up, and in the process, Zeng Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

 As long as it can be solved.

 The "ghost spirit", "curse" and other semi-abstract things cut off by this dagger will be cut off from the holder, making it easier to eliminate them.

Seeing that the dagger was effective, Zeng Lai cut off all the rose stems all over his body without stopping. Except for the moment of pain when cutting, the subsequent steps were much easier.

Yu Xing watched him cut, and at the same time gained a new understanding of the mortality rate in the deduction.

Even star players will die without any chance of improvement if they are not careful. Although it is because they are taking the route of hiding the plot, the difficulty will naturally be a little higher, but it is enough to explain the problem.

if it is like this…

Yu Xing looked a little gloomy.

It doesn’t often happen that teammates almost die, right?

He can't stand it.

Those who don’t know him well enough would probably never imagine that the villain Yu Xing, who is committed to making himself “more and more dark”, can’t bear to see acquaintances die in front of him.

  Strangers don’t matter, but as long as they are recognized or admired by him, he will never allow the other person to get into trouble where he can save them.

It was like riding a jumping machine with Zhao Yijiao. When he was going to get the clue at the top of the sharp thorn bar, he had no idea of ​​letting Zhao Yjiu take risks and directly let himself be pierced through the palm of his hand.

Yu Xing is the kind of person who would rather be fatally injured than have an arm broken by someone he recognizes - even though it doesn't show it at all on the outside.

Even Zhao Yijiu, who has realized that Yu Xing intends to prevent others from trusting and relying on him, probably will not think about it in this regard. After all, such a "kind and decent" behavior is not the same as that of Yu Xing. The face that screams "I'm not serious" doesn't match.

Probably the longer you live, the more you cherish the people you can still get along with.

Yu Xing has always been casual, and he only has scruples about expressing goodwill.

Because all well-intentioned emotions may be used as a handle by those who are interested. After all, there is a whole single prism opposite him, which is watching covetously under the control of the actor. Not to mention, he will occasionally worry that he is out of control and that people who are close to him will not be able to avoid it. open.

 So even if he is generally worried about others and does good for others, he will not show it on the outside. In the eyes of others, he looks completely disrespectful, heartless and unkind.

Yu Xing admired Zeng Lai very much. Otherwise, he could have left Zeng Lai alone at the beginning. You must know that at the beginning, he did not know that Zeng Lai's location was the core area of ​​​​ending the deduction, so his choice was to save Zeng Lai first. Lai, look for the plot again.

"...It seems that I have to work harder to protect my teammates in the future. Otherwise, one of them will be injured at once, and I will die of excitement." Others don't know Yu Xing, and he himself certainly doesn't know his own virtues. Just now, Zeng Lai came from far away The moment Chu turned his head, he thought Zeng Lai was dead.

 My heart felt a little cold.

Although this time, things did happen suddenly. Zeng Lai, who was fine not long ago, turned into this weird look when they met again. Coupled with the stimulation of the smell of roses and the irritability brought by the cold breath, Yu Xing couldn't control it. He let his emotions leak out a little, but if anything happened to Zeng Lai, who was not close to him, it would cause his emotions to fluctuate, let alone people like Qu Xianqing, Zhu Yan, or Zhao Yijiao.

Thinking of this, Yu Xing felt very unhappy: "Tsk, the trouble is the trouble I brought upon myself."

 The character you have developed is that you cannot curse.

"What did you say?" Zeng Lai finished handling the roses on his body and seemed to hear Xing's whisper in his ears. Unfortunately, the voice was too low. His head was buzzing with pain and he couldn't hear it clearly at all.

 “It’s okay. How are you doing now?”

"Just give it a try..." Zeng Lai really couldn't say the word "fortunately", it would be too unconscionable.

He thought about how he almost died, and couldn't help complaining: "The roses in this tunnel are so evil. If you scratch them, they will grow flowers. And you see, they are so densely packed that it is impossible to avoid them all. You must have to A few injuries..."

 He paused for a moment because he looked at Yu Xing for a while and found that the man was not injured.

Alright, just pretend he didn’t say it.

Yu Xing agreed with what he said. In fact, he was cut along the way even if he was very careful. He just recovered quickly because the density of roses here was too high.

 So...why are there so many roses here?

Several fragmented fragments flashed through Yu Xing's mind, the clearest one being the blow that Yi Qing's fan hit him on the head.

 Yiqing's voice began to echo in his mind.

“It’s even dirtier here. A lot of people will die if we water such a large area.”

“Do you know where the roses here come from?”

 “Oops, my belongings fell to the ground.”

I see.

Yu Xing looked at Zeng Lai and had the answer in his mind.

 The source of the rose...is a living person.

 When a living person is cut by a rose and fails to leave within the time limit, the same thing as Zeng Lai will happen.

 The whole body is covered with flower stems.

 Then die.

After death, the body rots in the soil, and the flowers that grow out of the body take root in the soil, and appear to be planted in the soil.

 In fact, to their left and right, under all the rose bushes... was a corpse that had long since decomposed into nutrients.

Tsk, no wonder the fragrance of flowers is mixed with the unpleasant smell of decay.
