Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 209 Alice in Hell (End) - Not Salvation

 Putting aside her character weaknesses and looking at speed and strength, Alice is definitely one of the top physical ghosts.

Even if Yu Xing is stronger than ordinary people, it is impossible to really compete with him head-on.

So, when Alice twisted her limbs, was on fire, and crawled towards him like a coconut, Yu Xing was very focused and squinted his eyes to avoid it.

 Because a small movement is not enough to withdraw from the attack range of Alice's claws.

The sharp nails just grazed the tip of Yu Xing's nose, bringing up a gust of wind that made the skin hurt. Zeng Lai, who was paying attention here, shook his hand and almost poured the "water".

Looking at Yu Xing's expression that had not changed much, he shouted in his heart that he was a fierce warrior, and at the same time continued to pray that Yu Xing could survive the last few seconds intact.

His six points of luck didn't know when it would expire, maybe it has expired now... In short, Zeng Lai stared at Yu Xing with his eyes tightly. If something happened, he would be able to take one last look at Yu Xing.

If Yu Xing knew what this unfortunate kid was thinking, he might throw him in Alice's face.

 Four seconds left.

 The huge sense of crisis seemed to bring Alice back to her senses. She looked at Yu Xing, the annoying thief and mocker, and then at Zeng Lai, the flower waterer, and screamed with her mouth wide open.

Fortunately, Yu could see that the teeth in Alice's mouth were sharp, like some kind of saw teeth. They were ferocious and cruel, making people unconsciously think about the way their own flesh was being chewed... and shuddered.

 Alice still plans to protect her precious rose first.

She turned around with scarlet eyes, her limbs tensed, as if she was about to jump up at the next moment.

 In fact, she did.

 Three seconds to go.

Alice shows off her true nature as a ghost. Whether it is visual, auditory, or olfactory, it gives people a great sense of oppression.

Her deformed body was already in the air, and she could immediately rush out of the fire and twist off Zeng Lai's head with one claw.

The fierce ghost's face in Zeng Lai's field of vision suddenly enlarged. He unconsciously took a step back, but his arms stretched out without any delay in watering the flowers.

 He praised his outstanding performance.

 After praising him, he felt that he was going to die. I wonder if Yu Xing looked at him, which was considered to have witnessed the last moment of his death...

yeah?

Alice did not successfully jump in. On the contrary, her body in the air paused, and she suddenly screamed, being pulled by a force, and fell back heavily.

 “What the hell!?”

 After seeing the situation clearly, Zeng Lai stared and sighed, regardless of whether it would attract Alice's attention.

This exclamation, and another exclamation for another second.

 The progress bar has reached twenty-eight seconds, with two seconds left.

 What did he see? He actually saw a young man with a thin physique grabbing one of Li Gui BOSS's legs and swung it back!

 In shock, a question flashed through Zeng Lai’s mind—how many points did Xing spend on redeeming power? This is almost reaching the **** limit! Hey, how come this person is so strong but his physique has not changed? The people he had seen who had exchanged their power would have some obvious muscles on their bodies...

　　Perhaps I was too nervous. I couldn't control my thoughts at this moment, and my thoughts even drifted further and further away.

 Unlike Zeng Lai, who saved his life due to Alice's failed attack, Yu Xing feels very bad now.

The physical ghost is much stronger than a human being. He almost tried his best to stop Alice. At this time, the muscles in his arm hurt, and it was obvious that he was strained.

The muscles and veins were beating out of control, and his hands were shaking as if he had Parkinson's disease. Yu Xing was troubled by the cold breath. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Alice who had fallen unconscious but still instinctively wanted to get up and continue to kill Zeng Lai. Sigh.

 Thus, Zeng Lai saw a scene that he would not forget for at least three years in his expression.

 One second left.

He saw that Yu Xing was not able to stand firmly or was doing it on purpose. Anyway, he half-knelt down... and hugged Alice with his arms.

Hug her tightly, ignoring Alice's appearance, just like a possessive hug from a lover - of course, this is just an illusion.

In the blazing flames, with roses all around, warm and erosive, the handsome young man embraced the ugly ghost into his arms, and part of the fire on the ghost was extinguished, as if expressing pity, and then Like redemption.

But Li Gui didn't appreciate it. The scarlet and pitch black were so dirty that she even stabbed a sharp claw into the young man's chest without hesitation.

The young man trembled, but did not let go. His face was calm, and he even hugged Li Gui tighter.

 Heh, not salvation, but imprisonment.

 Like a cruel and extremely **** and beautiful oil painting.

The picture seemed to be frozen at this moment. Zeng Lai was in a daze for a moment. He didn't even notice that the time was up and the system prompted that the rose had been destroyed, all the derivative ghosts had disappeared, and that Alice was about to be destroyed.

His eyes stayed on Yu Xing's pierced chest. For a moment, he forgot to put down the useless watering can. He only felt that the scene in front of him was extremely dazzling.

The word "blood splattered three feet" is not an exaggeration at all. A few drops of warm blood even penetrated the flames and fell to his feet.

As an experienced deduction player, Zeng Lai has seen many people die during deductions, in various forms and at various times, but none of them were as depressing as this time.

 Happily... will you die?

 Your heart has been pierced, you will definitely die, right?

Although the watering can in his hand was the key to victory, it was obvious that Yu Xing chose to stop Alice with his body in order to prevent her from touching him who was watering the flowers.

Zeng Lai felt suffocated.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, if he hadn't fallen off slightly, Xingya would not have followed him hastily to save him.

If more props could be collected, Alice's speed and strength would drop a lot, and maybe Xing wouldn't die.

The watering can in his hand fell to the ground. For several seconds, Alice did not move, nor did Yu Xing. Only Zeng Lai silently approached the ghost.

 “Fortunately...are you, are you okay?”

　　It must be bad, Zeng Lai asked himself in his mind.

"How about... if you persist a little longer, as long as you are not completely dead, you can receive systematic treatment as soon as the game is over."

 Have you lost consciousness? Zeng Lai's fingers trembled.

To be fair, it was not easy for him to find a brother with a suitable personality and ability, but he didn't want him to die like this.

 “I’m fine.”

Unexpectedly, Yu Xing was clear-headed and still had the strength to respond to him clearly and smoothly.

Zeng Lai was stunned and looked at Yu Xing more carefully.

Yu Xing's face was full of fatigue and paleness, but his expression was as calm as if he was not the one who was dying. In this way, after he responded to Zeng Lai, he did not forget to say something **** to Alice in his arms: "I regret it. In fact, it doesn't matter what you look like. I quite like you and I can't help but want to hug you. ”

Zeng Lai: "..." Did I have any misunderstanding about Xing's status? Also, if you say these words to seduce any little girl, you won’t succeed, but why do you say it to a female ghost?

 At this moment, he looked down at Alice again.

 The flame on Alice's body has been extinguished for some reason, and at the same time, the light in her scarlet eyes has also been extinguished.

 She is already "dead".

 As a fierce ghost born in sin, she seemed to have permanently lost her consciousness and ability to move in a more complete form. So in fact, she couldn't hear what Yu Xingsao said.

Zeng Lai suddenly thought that he realized the truth and said with difficulty: "You...Alice is dead, you don't need to hold on any longer."

　　 Yu Xing: “Ah… he’s dead…”

He really didn't know whether Alice was dead or alive at this time, because his vision was dark and his visual nerves had been destroyed by the overactive curse.

 In other words, he became "blind" within a short period of time.

"Ahem, what a pity, the taunt didn't get through." Yu Xing muttered, reaching out to hold the wrist of Alice's claw inserted into his chest, and then pulled it out with a strong force.

"My day..." Before Zeng Lai had time to stop him, he saw Yu Xing happily taking a big step towards death.

"Don't worry, I have a sacrifice to heal serious injuries, otherwise I wouldn't dare to be so trusting." Yu Xing raised his other hand, and Zeng Lai discovered that Yu Xing had taken out a doll from an angle he couldn't see. .

At this time, the doll's body was chapped and covered with terrible cracks. It was held by Yu Xing helplessly, and its whole body exuded a "don't pay attention to me, I just want to be quiet" mood.

 “This doll can withstand one fatal wound.”

Yu Xing didn’t lie this time. The ability ② happened to be within the time when it could be used. In order not to cause an unexplainable situation, he used the doll’s ability ② this time. Now the doll has been completely scrapped in this deduction.

 The wound on the chest disappeared quickly. This was due to the baby's ability, and it was faster than his own recovery.

Zeng Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

"You told me earlier, you made me think you were going to have a rest!" He helped Yu Xing stand up and noticed Yu Xing's poor physical condition, "You can't see?"

Yu Xing followed the situation and naturally said: "It's temporary, it's a side effect of the sacrifice's ability."

Zeng Lai thought he was talking about the side effects of using dolls, so he didn't say much. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then he had enough energy to see what prompt the system had just sent him.

　　【The cursed rose has been destroyed, the curse has been lifted, and from now on, all the roses in this castle will return to normal】

  【The owner of the castle, Alice, sold her soul to the Cursed Rose and will be destroyed together with the Cursed Rose】

  【Castle employees will return to their dead state】

 【Alice died, the deduction ended early, the estimated advance time is thirty-six hours】

 【Congratulations on achieving the hidden plot "Greed will eventually destroy itself"】

Yu Xing also calmed down. Although he could not see it with his eyes, the system prompt panel in the persona existed directly in his mind. His prompt came at the same time as Zeng Lai, but he was disturbed by the cursed aura and had no time to read it.

 Among them, his tips for completing the hidden plot were exactly the same as Zeng Lai's. He paused for a while when he scanned the line about the castle employees, and then continued browsing as if he didn't care.

 After the hidden prompt, there is a ghost notice.

　　【The ghost notice has been updated. Since you have completed the hidden ending, the original nine types of ghosts will be merged into one】

  【Ghost Notice (hidden version) (personal version, semi-shared)】

  【Ghost type: 1】

  【Encountered: 1】

  【Resolved: 1】

 【Ghost 1: Cursed Rose】

  【Corresponding tourist: Great Wizard】

　　【Description/Origin: A pot of precious red roses, each petal is as delicate and strong as a work of art. It was originally just a seed. Under the continuous irrigation of sin, it bloomed. /Comes from the mysterious tourist wizard, Alice doesn’t know who he is. So speaking of it, the Great Wizard should be more troublesome than Alice. 】

  【Special abilities: ①Absorb blood and form evil ghosts corresponding to humans. ②Absorb evil and help the planter most closely associated with it obtain a beautiful human skin. ③ Affects surrounding humans, causing those stranded within a certain range to grow into rose bushes. ④ It affects the thinking of the planter, making him more and more addicted to the things he pursues. In the end, he cannot get rid of the rose and becomes a slave to the cursed rose. 】

  【Solution: Destroy the stability of the curse】

  【Notification progress: 100%】

The full picture of Cursed Rose finally appeared in front of Yu Xing. He looked at the fourth ability description in the [Special Ability] column and suddenly understood the reason why Alice had changed so much.

 Obviously, all this is the conspiracy of the great wizard. If Alice is not destroyed today, the day when she becomes a slave to the cursed rose, the great wizard will definitely come back to accept the results.

  【You have collected all the ghost notices and will receive "a sacrifice" as a reward】

 【Rewards can be taken out of the deduction. Since the deduction plot has ended, the sacrifices will be distributed at the final settlement】

  【Side mission completed】

[Description of mission completion: You chose to threaten the tourists (the hostile mission did not fail), tied yourself in front of the housekeeper (focusing on the rationality of the plot), and instigated the housekeeper (obtained a lot of information), and stole the housekeeper's lighter (using (used to burn down the wall of thorns) and steal the nun's guide's watering can (used to destroy the Cursed Rose). 】

  【Task evaluation: Exceeded expectations】

  【Task reward: title (rare)】

　　【Amazing Conspirator (Rare): Wearing this title, when doing bad things in a general sense (including fraud, theft, instigation, and coercion), the success rate will increase moderately. The ascent method will be reasonably changed based on the prevailing conditions. 】

“Hmm.” Yu Xing made a meaningless monosyllable, which usually meant that he was in a good mood.

This title can be described as an unexpected surprise, and the effect is far more satisfactory to him than another rare title [Scary Newcomer].

 【The deduction has been completed, Alice's Hell will collapse in five minutes, and all players will leave the deduction in four minutes and fifty-nine seconds for settlement】

【Note (This tip is shared by everyone): Since some players have achieved the hidden plot, the deduction will be settled based on the hidden plot, and the rewards of the original ghost notices that have been collected will be converted into points and distributed. 】

I have to say that the system has always done a good job in terms of fairness.

 The current system prompts are already a long one, and there is still a long list of final settlements left.

The time limit has not yet come, Zeng Lai supported the crumbling Yu Xing, looked at the mess, felt the increasingly strong flames around him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Awesome, brother, I suddenly felt the fun of the alienation line breaking the rules. "

"You can do the same thing next time. The Righteous Path doesn't limit people to death." Yu Xing's eyesight hadn't recovered yet, so he just started chatting with Zeng Lai.

 Chatting helps him divert his attention and relieve the pain.

 At the end of this deduction, he can complete all the conditions on his wish list and say goodbye to the bullying of the cold aura for the time being.

 It makes me happy just thinking about it.

"Don't say it. My personality alienation level will definitely rise to a higher level after this time. Just look at you holding a ghost... I have goosebumps all over my body when I think about this scene. Just this scene, my alienation level has increased by at least 2%. !" Zeng Lai was not angry. That picture had a huge impact on his young mind. The most terrifying thing was that he not only found it a bit scary, but also found it very beautiful.

 The latter is definitely the culprit for the increase in alienation!

The two chatted for a while, and soon the system made a sound and sent them out of the scene.

This time Yu Xing didn’t have the opportunity to see the scene of Alice’s **** collapsing, and the only response to him was the darkness in front of him.
