Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 226 Funeral (4) - Divination

In the light-tight room, filled with smoke, more than a dozen coffins were placed one after another, lying there quietly, making the whole room look like a small tomb.

　　A low sob echoed in the room. People in white clothes hunched over and knelt in front of the coffin. More than a dozen bodies were crowded together, like worms with their front parts standing up. It was a sad scene.

On the wall, a black and white photo frame hung at the position corresponding to the coffin. The deceased inside had his eyes wide open, glaring at the figure kneeling and crying before his body.

Different from the portraits in the shops on the street, these dead people have ferocious expressions, as if they were chosen to look like they did at the moment of death. Just looking at them would make one's hair stand on end, let alone matching the cries in the room.

Suddenly, the wooden door quietly opened a small crack, and a gloomy eye glanced into the house. When he saw the scene inside, he closed the door again without saying a word.

Outside the door, Zhao Yijiu, who was wearing a white gown, made a "silence" gesture to Zhao Ruru, who was similarly dressed, and shook his head.

The two looked at each other, and without disturbing anything, they quickly walked around the porch and came to a room.

Zhao Ruru breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. She closed the door and leaned against it: "How is it? What's the situation there?"

“There is a row of coffins, and someone is crying. They are wearing the same clothes as us, with their backs to the door. I don’t know what they are.” Zhao Yijiu spoke slowly, which meant that his thinking was temporarily deadlocked.

"That means we can't get in... There are ghosts in white clothes in so many places in this house, so we can't explore it," Zhao Ruru scratched his hair, "But the door we are looking for must be inside these places, and we can't even get in. Don’t tell me you looked carefully, tsk, that guy who dialed the abacus didn’t lie to us, did he?”

She said this, but she knew very well in her heart that the two of them had been doing the task for a while before they learned from the Abacus Ghost that there was a secret door to leave the haunted house. This information was basically correct.

 The question is how to find it.

This shady house is obviously the residence of a wealthy family. The courtyard, front hall, kitchen, etc. are enough to stun anyone who comes in for the first time. Fortunately, she and Zhao Yijiu are not road addicts, otherwise they would not even be able to leave a mark for rendezvous. difficulty.

 Finding a secret door in such a large area...Without any further hints, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Zhao Yijiu glanced at her and ignored this obviously nonsense question.

 Zhao Ruru was embarrassed. It was really the first time for her to participate in a deduction with the Zhao family with such a personality. She always forgot that this person was an iceberg and could freeze people to death.

It would be great if Yu Xing was here, she could at least talk about the plot with Yu Xing.

After a few seconds, her eyes lit up: "Yes, do you think it's possible that the clues are there with Xing? This is a team deduction. It's impossible for both of us to find both doors while he is taking another completely unrelated route. Quest line.”

 When it comes to Yu Xing, Zhao Yijiu finally responded: "Then he should be on his way over. We can wait at the door."

"You can also find the abacus ghost and ask again. That ghost is very elusive. Fortunately, I can do calculations and can find its general location." Zhao Ruru reached out and touched his chin and said after considering, "Let's do it this way. We're looking for a door. I'll figure out the location of the Abacus Ghost. We'll scare it and then go to the gate to meet Xing? "

Before Zhao Yijiu could speak, she analyzed in a low voice: "The street outside the house looks quite long and very sad. The only advantage is that it is empty. If we are lucky enough to come here, we can lie down on the wall and take a quick look. See. I understand—"

“The reason why the deduction is to divide the three of us into two places, the street and the ghost house, is so that we can cooperate with each other. If one of them attracts the attention of the paper man, the other person can move to another place when it is not paying attention.”

 Speaking of the paper figures, Zhao Ruru was still frightened.

 As soon as the deduction began, they woke up in the dark house. There were cries and suona sounds everywhere, and the atmosphere was thick with mourning.

After reuniting, they went to take a look at the gate of the ghost house, and found that the gate was actually open, as if they could enter and exit with them.

The house faced a street outside, filled with paper money and wreaths, and the loudest cry of mourning lingered outside the door.

This is actually a very strange thing. All the "ghosts" they met along the way stayed inside the house. Why was there one alone outside?

There must be a monster when things go abnormal, and the abnormality may be a clue.

The two of them discussed it and decided to go out and take a look first. Maybe it was a ghost with a story that couldn't enter the haunted house?

As a result, as soon as Zhao Yijiu took a step out, Zhao Ruru said, "You have to be careful," before Zhao Ruru could follow. In an instant, the mourning outside the door, along with the whole **** house, suddenly stopped and fell into dead silence.

The horror of that moment can probably only be felt by the two deducers who were immersed in the scene.

The next moment, a big paper man with a weird shape laughed and pounced on Zhao Yijius from an invisible corner with a strong sense of malice.

If Zhao Yijiu hadn't dodged quickly, the paper hand that looked like it could break as soon as it was folded would have been dug directly into Zhao Yijiu's chest, dyeing his white gown red.

As soon as Zhao Ruru saw the fighting part, he immediately retreated to the Yin Mansion in order not to delay. He saw with his own eyes how fast the paper man was, and Zhao Yijiu took out the sacrifice and barely escaped.

It's not that Zhao Yijiao's fighting power is not strong, but that all the attacks on the paper man can only leave a hole that disappears in a few seconds, as if there is an invisible person holding a tool, ready to help the paper man repair the crack. It seems to be mushy.

It wasn't until Zhao Yijiu also returned to the yin house that the paper man looked at them with his flat, big, big face drawn in ink. He let out a few masculine and shrill laughs, and then disappeared into the corner again. When it started crying again, the mourning sounds in the house returned to "normal".

Since then, Zhao Ruru has confirmed that the paper man is actually an obstacle between the funeral street and the shady house. It would take a lot of effort for them and Yu Xing to leave.

So they had to honestly search for clues about the Yin House. On the way, they met the Abacus Ghost. They heard that the Yin House was connected to the Yang House in the outside world and was the only exit in this space. It was connected by a hidden secret door, so they started to look for the secret door.

 …

Now, upon hearing Zhao Ruru's suggestion, Zhao Yijiao nodded, and then said: "Hurry up."

 “What’s faster?” Zhao Ruru paused.

"Hurry up and do the math, hurry up and find the abacus ghost, and hurry up to meet him." Zhao Yijie's expression remained unchanged, and it was hard to tell what kind of emotion he was feeling when he said this. "If he comes, we haven't gone there yet." …”

Zhao Ruru nodded clearly: "Ah, are you worried about him? That's right. It would be bad if we didn't help him attract the paper man's attention and put him in danger."

Zhao Yijiu: "...That's okay to understand."

 Zhao Ruru: “What?”

 Zhao Yijiu did not explain any more, but folded his arms and waited for Zhao Ruru to make a prediction.

 Actually, what he just wanted to say was that if they were late, Yu might have found a way to get in without them at all. He believed that Yu Xing could really do such a thing.

By then, people in the live broadcast room will definitely notice Yu Xing’s true strength.

Although he didn't know what grudge Yu Xing had with the actor, he knew that if he exposed his strength under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, he would be vulnerable to being targeted in various deductions.

　　After all, Yu Xing’s face is too memorable, and it is difficult to disguise his identity in future deductions. Just like those star deductions, he is often recognized by others as soon as he enters the deduction.

Unless more than 80% of the role-playing deductions put the deducer into another sentence body, star deducers who have gained fame and more points will definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of the degree of confidentiality of information.

Although he felt that with Yu Xing's character, he would not let himself fall into a passive situation, but wouldn't it be better to be careful in everything?

 Zhao Ruru didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, in her opinion, this famous weirdo of the Zhao family was very silent, so she didn't say anything more and took out a copper coin from her trouser pocket.

This copper coin was her most commonly used sacrifice. The surface was old and worn, with a square opening in the middle. The front was engraved with "Daoguang Tongbao" and the reverse was engraved with "The World is Peaceful." She muttered something quietly, and then weighed the copper coin in her hand. Weighing it, with a flick of her thumb, the copper coin flew up vertically, then landed on the back of her hand, and was covered by the other hand.

She let out a breath, tried hard to relax her mind, and removed the palm covering it.

The copper coin was turned upside down. From her perspective, the four characters "Tian Xia Tai Ping" were upside down, faintly revealing blood, and carrying a strong ominous omen.

 “Hiss…” Zhao Ruru took a breath.

 Zhao Yijiu couldn't understand this and asked directly: "What conclusion?"

Zhao Ruru frowned: "It's a big omen, it's a sign of bloodshed."

 Zhao Yijiu: "What do you think?"

"What I'm thinking is, if there is no change in the premise, that is, if there is no third person joining, what will be the consequences of the two of us wandering around in the ghost house." She rubbed her forehead, feeling quite distressed, "In other words, if Soon, this seemingly peaceful ghost house will change, and we will definitely not be able to get over it. It seems that we must join forces with Xing as soon as possible, so that things can turn around. "

Zhao Yijiu's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about the changes in her mouth at all. He glanced out through the lax window, paused, then turned around and said, "Then just go find him, and we'll take care of other things later. "

"Okay, I agree. Tsk, you guys have a really good relationship. When will I, a teammate, be lucky enough to be treated like this?"

Zhao Ruru took out another short black chopstick. She could feel that the guy in front of her who was as cold as a ghost relaxed a lot when she mentioned Yu Xing.

 Just like when he was around Zhao Mou, although he had the same cold face, his aura was different. So it can be seen that Zhao Yijiu and even his brother Zhao Mou have strong trust in Yu Xing, a person with a foreign surname.

Under the cold gaze from Zhao Yijiu, Zhao Ruru smiled and retreated to the corner, silently recited, then put the chopsticks on the ground and loosened his hands.

 “Click.”

The chopsticks landed on the ground and made a soft crunching sound, which was indistinguishable among the sounds of suona and crying. The head of the chopsticks rolled half a circle on the ground, pointed straight at the door of the mourning hall, and then turned half a circle in the opposite direction, as if it had hit something. It seemed to tremble.

Before Zhao Yijiu could ask, Zhao Ruru said: "This time it is Xing's position. According to the hexagram, he is in the direction of approaching the gate - about to coincide with the position of the gate."

Zhao Yijiu nodded slightly: "Let's go."

 …

Yu Xing, who knew nothing about the situation at the end of the ghost alley, was still in the portrait frame customization shop. The accounting book in his hand didn't look like a good thing. After looking through it briefly, he put it away honestly. Back on the counter.

Just finished the owner of Jia, what if he did something and angry, what should he do if he forced the records of the account?

  Yu Xing is very self-aware about his ability to ridicule.

The moment the book was released, the door of the shop opened quietly with a creak.

The black and white photos on that wall seem to say: "Get out of here, the reminder has been given, don't let me see you again."

Yu Xing coughed lightly, carefully covered the lid of the incense burner, carefully placed it back in the area where he found it, then calmly stepped out of the threshold and continued towards the end of the alley.

 It was only then that the people in the live broadcast room realized that this sudden encounter was over.

 He is finished.

But Luoliang isn’t there yet!

　　[Luoliang lost? ]

  [Lost, Luo Liang figured out the correct steps by fortune telling, it’s already very fast, he’s reading his account book]

[Fortunately, there are eight groups out of the nine groups now. People who were "born" in the alley have all arrived at this portrait store. Others have just entered the store and he has gone out]

  [Luo Liang couldn’t think of tearing the paper, so he might have to use sacrifices to break through]

  [What is the other group doing? ]

  [There is another group, the one who does this quest line is called Jue, a little loli. She is so funny, she desperately tries to drag the NPC along, and now she is almost successful in persuading her]

  [Pfft]

The barrage became more harmonious. Those who had previously said that Luo Liang was awesome have quietly shut up. It is not known whether they were embarrassed to speak or unwilling to face the fact that they were slapped in the face, so they were angered and sent to other live broadcast rooms. go.

[This team is very stable, Lengjiu is also very good at it, Zhao Ruru is also very smart, I just took a look, they seemed to be discussing to scare the abacus ghost]

 The reputation of the deducers is not false, whoever is stronger will be more likely to be sought after.

Even though in this group, apart from Zhao Ruru, Yu Xing has only participated in one rookie competition, and Zhao Yjiu has never appeared in a live broadcast, based on their performance, anyone with a discerning eye can see their strength and confidence.

 Suddenly, many guilds began to inquire about the two strange young men.

Yu Xing didn't know about this, or in other words, he had already thought of this situation and prepared a way to deal with it.

He is now more concerned about the plot in front of him. So far, the dangers in this street are within control. Yu Xing feels that he is very stable and his performance is normal...probably.

 Leaving the shop and walking along the wreath for a short distance, he finally saw the end of this ridiculously long alley.

It was a large mansion, somewhat like the layout of a wealthy family in a TV series. The door faced the street and was open. You could faintly see the gold and silver round paper scattered everywhere inside, as well as the wide white silk hanging on the beams.

Howlings floated out from inside, the sound was sad, and the accompaniment of suona made it even more desolate.

Before he even got close, Yu Xing felt a bone-chilling chill and a strong smell of death from the mourning hall, and a faint smell of decay lingered on the tip of his nose.

Yes, this mourning hall is the center of this street. The place where the ghost spirit is strongest is also where the deducers live.

He continued to walk forward, and suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind. A voice that was indistinguishable from male to female, with a crying tone, asked close to his ear: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...are you here to attend Boss Liu's funeral?"

Thanks to Hai Zhongqing for the 30,000 starting point coins! I haven’t kept statistics on rewards recently, but I’ve received all the rewards from readers. There are at least a few who have received rewards worth 10,000 yuan, and I will update more.
