Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 221 Parallel Tasks

November 19th is the second day of the party. The activity schedule is close to zero, and there is no mandatory social interaction. But where the Zhao family is present, it is impossible to be silent.

The young people from several families can learn a lot from each other. Over the course of the whole day, many of the deducers who met for the first time became familiar with each other, especially those who were going to participate in the live broadcast of Death Parallel Line and have already begun to look for suitable teammates. .

Yu Xing sat in the winery for a while during the day and successfully received five or six signals that he wanted to get acquainted. He talked to each other for a while, leaving a shy and humble impression on them, and then he was called by Luo Jue. gone.

Luo Jue changed into a cool little dress—Fenggu Lanting prepared multiple sets of clothes for every guest who received the invitation letter. There were also clothes in the wardrobe of Yu Xing's room. They were completely brand new and the size was right. She didn't know how to prepare clothes. How did someone get his size information.

Ever since she let herself go and hugged Yu Xing, she began to behave well, as if she was afraid that Yu Xing would retaliate against her, but in the spirit of not being afraid of death, she still insisted on playing with Yu Xing: "What's so good about wine?" Ah, do you want to go swimming?”

 The swimming pool is located in the west of the manor. It is divided into open-air and indoor areas and is very popular among swimming enthusiasts.

Yu Xing kept talking without changing his expression: "I can't swim."

Luo Jue tugged on her twin ponytails: "What a coincidence, I don't know how to do it either. I originally wanted to see the beautiful man get into the water."

"Hey..." It is rare for a girl to be so open-minded. Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you go to Luo Qishan to play?"

“I’m with my senior brother at home every day, so why don’t we go out for a change of mood?” Luo Jue blinked her big eyes, “Then let’s go to the gallery?”

Yu Xing thought for a while, and it seemed that there was no point in always rejecting a cute girl. He really wanted to go to the gallery, so he agreed.

 He stayed with Luo Jue for a while after that. After all, they had experienced deductions together, dug up bones, and jumped over fire pits together, so they got along quite comfortably.

He had some dinner at a place that served Chinese food. When it got dark, he went back to the Zhuhong Building alone.

There were entertainment activities going on on the first floor as usual. He took a peek and saw that this time they were playing mahjong. Even Zhao Mou was sitting on it, and there were also a few more Luo and Xu family members, but he didn't see Zhao Yijiu.

"Let's play together, Yu Xing~" Zhao Miao was not here either. Zhao Yingying was still as enthusiastic as ever. She put down the red wine in her hand, stepped on her high heels and came over to hug Yu Xing's shoulders. "Zhao Mou is so awesome. I have lost all my money." If he is defeated, go ahead and try and make him lose so much that his pants are taken off!"

Yu Xing glanced at her drunken face and said with a smile: "I was tired from playing just now and wanted to go up and take a rest."

"Oh..." This woman was bold and bold, but she didn't dissuade others at all. She immediately let go after hearing this, "Then you have a good rest... By the way, don't forget to check into the system at eight o'clock."

At 8 o'clock tonight, the live broadcast section of the Absurd Deduction System will release a preview of the new rules of [Death Parallel]. Although the information revealed will not be too much, it is still very important.

Yu Xing responded, walked up the stairs to the fourth floor, and then...knocked on Zhao Yijiao's door.

He guessed that the autistic young man must be staying in the room. Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, Zhao Yijiu opened the door half way. The front of his hair was wet, and his face was soaked with a thin layer of water. He was not wearing glasses. , the breathing in his chest was obviously faster than usual, and he glanced at Yu Xing.

 Seeing it was him, Zhao Yijiu seemed to be stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?"

"What are you doing?" Yu Xingqi asked, "I'm bored and want to chat with you for a while."

"..." Zhao Yijiu didn't answer. He just opened the door wider and closed it after Yu Xing entered. He didn't wear a shirt, but changed into a T-shirt that was convenient for exercise. The sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his tight fit. forearm muscles.

At a glance, Yu Xing saw the sandbag and target in the open space of Zhao Yijiu's room. The sandbag was shaking slightly at this time, and the target was also covered with marks. They were not small holes left by darts, but long puncture marks and scratches. mark.

He understood why Zhao Yijiu had water on his face. He probably heard someone knocking on the door and went to wash his face.

 He smiled and said: "Others are playing, but you are training?"

“There’s nothing to do.” Zhao Yijiu said coldly, shaking off the water stains on his hands.

 He doesn’t like places with many people, especially places with loud voices, and always feels out of place.

 Sociability is not something he needs to care about. He has been excluded from it since he was a child, and he has no interest in catering to others when he grows up.

"You continue, I'll watch." Yu Xing chose a wicker chair and sat down, leaning on the backrest in an awkward position.

Zhao Yijiu stood there speechless: "You come in and watch me train?"

Yu Xing: "Huh? Otherwise, what else do you expect me to do?"

 Zhao Yijiu: “I just didn’t expect you to be more boring than me.”

He skillfully picked up a small knife from the table. This knife was very ordinary, not a sacrificial knife, but the size and blade diameter were very similar to the knife.

Ignoring the extra humanoid creature in the room, Zhao Yijiu straightened the target, squinted his eyes, suddenly exerted force in a particularly casual stance, rotated his whole body for half a circle, and stabbed the knife in his hand hard into the target.

Withdrawing the knife, he changed to another posture that was obviously ineffective, and plunged the knife into the target again, still in the same position as last time!

With his back turned and half-crouched, no matter what his initial position was, he would adjust it in just a few tenths of a second and pierce the bullseye with fierce force!

Yu Xing could tell that he was practicing attacks in emergencies, ensuring that he could accurately hit the point where he wanted to stab at any time and in any position.

  After practicing for a while, Zhao Yijiu put down the knife, moved his heavily loaded arms and wrists, grabbed the hem of his T-shirt and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and began to train for fighting.

He practiced very seriously and seemed to be focused on nothing. As the sandbags continued to make loud hitting sounds, his stern face tightened, just like the first time they met.

Yu Xing began to think divergently. What made Zhao Yijiao be placed on the right path?

Looking at the temperament of a cold villain, he turned out to be a serious and good person. If the environment did not help him, then did he maintain his original intention purely by himself?

 How strong a character must be for such a person...

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yijiu stopped, took a breath, and then lay down to do push-ups.

Yu Xing was playing with his cell phone at this time. He chatted with Zhu Yan about the news about Wang Juena’s uncle. When he saw this, he asked, “Why do you do push-ups?”

 Zhao Yijiu maintained his breathing rate: "Relax."

 He hesitated for a moment: "You said doing push-ups is relaxing?"

 “All mechanized movement is relaxation.”

Yu Xing: "..." Thinking about it this way, the fact that my muscles have not degenerated really depends on my physical fitness.

It’s not that he can’t do hundreds of push-ups now, or he’s simply lazy. If he hadn’t had a special physique, and his usual habit of slumping wherever he sat, his muscles would have degenerated long ago.

 He looked at the time, replied "Follow up" to Zhu Yan, and then remained silent for tens of seconds before Zhao Yijiao's door rang. “Who is it again?” Zhao Yijiu muttered.

"I guess it's your brother." Yu Xing gave him a "keep doing it" gesture and stood up to open the door.

As expected, it was Zhao Mou outside the door. It was 7:59, and he knew that Zhao Mou was coming to remind them to read the rules notice.

Zhao Mou didn't seem surprised when he saw that it was Yu Xing who opened the door. He pushed up his glasses and walked straight in. He knelt down and patted Zhao Yijiu's butt: "Okay, let's take a rest."

Zhao Yijiu's veins appeared on his forehead and he stood up quickly, as if resisting the urge to beat Zhao Mou.

"Let's take a look at the rules. It's good to have an idea of ​​tomorrow's live broadcast." Zhao Mou poured a glass of water and let Zhao Yijiu pass the hand that might hit others. Shi Shiran sat down and the time also jumped to It's eight o'clock sharp.

Yu Xing sat back in his seat and entered the persona template with his consciousness.

 …

In addition to the live broadcast rooms that are being opened one after another, the live broadcast section also lists the previews of various programs all year round. Under the eagerness (luck) (joy) (joy) (disaster) and anticipation (disaster) of many deductions, very popular deaths Parallel Lines has updated the rules preview for the new issue!

　　【Dear audience friends, it’s time to reveal the rules again! 】

[First, let’s introduce the features of our Parallel Lines of Death program to new viewers. In our program, the deduction takes up real time on a one-to-one basis. Participants will appear in different parallel lines in the same world and experience the same horrific mission. In the normal stage, the players are fighting for mission progress! The higher the speed and completion score, the higher the reward! 】

[In any task stage, parallel lines may overlap at any time, and worlds that do not interfere with each other may intersect. At this time, the players can take the opportunity to kill each other, or they can cooperate to complete special side tasks, obtain high scores, and redeem corresponding items. Improve your own survival rate. 】

　　【The world lines will not overlap for more than two hours at a time, so seize the opportunity~】

　　【Until the end of all mission stages, the one with the highest overall score wins and can receive rich rewards! 】

[The following is the release of special rules for this Death Parallel: The deduction adopts a group mode, dividing the twenty-seven participants into nine groups, facing each other, testing tacit understanding and ability. Are you also curious about how your favorite deductions get along with each other? What does it look like? 】

  【Background hint: old, mottled. Laughing, mourning. Funeral, marriage. Red cloth, white cage. 】

　　【Look forward to it, a new round of horror journey is about to begin. Do you want to see your favorite gamers perform well and shine? Follow this program and you will receive a reminder before the live broadcast~]

　　【Bloody winds, parallel deaths! 】

Yu Xing scanned it carefully and was very interested.

I have to say that every live broadcast gives many people a strange sense of urgency.

Probably because I know that there are many pairs of eyes staring at me anytime and anywhere, so every move I make is unconsciously purposeful, and instead I feel excited about acting.

Yu Xing is not concerned about this. For him, the audience is dispensable and does not affect him anyway. He just thinks that the rules of this parallel line of death are interesting.

The progress competition in the same world is equivalent to putting the gamers in a particularly intuitive comparative position. Who is stronger and weaker can be seen at a glance, and those who lag behind are simply publicly executed.

“Three people are divided into groups, we are missing one person.” While Yu Xing was studying the rules, Zhao Mou’s smiling voice came from the other side.

Yu Xing exited the preview interface: "What should we do? Choose someone who has no friends in the Zhao family?"

 The three major families must be grouped separately. After all, communication is communication, and the gaps between families still exist. Teaming up with other families can easily expose one's own abilities and deduction style.

Zhao Mou shook his head, with a slightly unflattering smile on his lips: "Who in the Zhao family has no friends except Ah Jiu."

Zhao Yijiu looked at him coldly and said nothing.

"Who said that? Brother Jiu has a friend like me, doesn't he?" Yu Xing found out that Zhao Mou was really good at bullying Zhao Yijiu, and immediately gave Zhao Yijiu a lot of face.

 Zhao Yijiu didn't look at him, but the cold and gloomy aura around him seemed to dissipate a little.

"Haha, with your words, I really feel relieved." Zhao Mou got the answer he wanted, and then said, "I recommend someone to you, Zhao Ruru, he is someone I feel more at ease with, and he has good abilities. "

 The person he recommended was a twenty-five-year-old girl who had been promoted to the struggling level for more than a year. Her specialty was small-scale divination.

This ability is really rare. Although it has no attack ability and no self-protection ability, it is simply unparalleled in adapting to the plot.

 Coordination is Zhao Yijiu’s skill and Yu Xing’s mind. Zhao Mou believes that this will form an excellent complementary combination.

Yu Xing naturally had no objection. He was a guest as he pleased, and anyone could come. After nodding, Zhao Mou took out his mobile phone and called someone.

“Get ready, Long Yue Pavilion will hold an analysis meeting in twenty minutes.” Zhao Mou pushed up his glasses, his eyes calm, as if he was already thinking rapidly about the operability of this rule system in his mind.

  He didn’t say who needed to be present, but the person on the phone seemed to have taken the order and was going to prepare.

Yu Xing lazily yawned. In his opinion, this rule was quite interesting, but before entering the live broadcast to learn the specific background, it was difficult to analyze anything useful.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is the grouping. Since it is an active grouping, many people with complementary abilities should be contacted in advance. It will be more convenient if you know those who have a tacit understanding. When you encounter this kind of combination, those who have no tacit understanding will suffer. .

He estimated that during this analysis meeting, one was to confirm the groupings, and the other was that the three families were polite, saying "be merciful" to each other, and then asking them to read more ancient ghost legends and learn more about ancient customs in the past two days.

 “I don’t have to go, do I?” Yu Xing asked tentatively.

 Zhao Yijiu immediately answered: "I'm not going either."

Zhao Mou was dumbfounded. Then he thought about it. Fortunately, he could think of what he analyzed for his juniors, and the explanation for his teammate Zhao Yijiu must be more detailed. There is really no need to waste time.

"Okay, you don't have to go. I'll ask Zhao Ruru to come over later. Fortunately, you guys can analyze it yourself. Is that okay?"

Yu Xing snapped his fingers: "OK. In addition, if it is convenient, please give me a specific list and grouping of the players participating in the live broadcast."

Zhao Mou looked at him, and he responded with a harmless smile: "It's not too difficult for you to get this information, right? Well done."

I like what I heard, but I didn’t estimate it well... The story will be officially deduced in the next chapter ∠(　∠)＿The wolf (poet) came at this time
