Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 227 Funeral (5) - Long Nails

　　[Oh my God, the paper man is behind him! ]

 [To die, to die, to be careless]

  [Why didn't the paper man attack him directly, and had to put his shoulder to ask a question? ]

  [It’s a rule, maybe there is a rule that if a human doesn’t discover it, it must speak out, it’s very common]

A chill flowed into Yu Xing's body along the hand on his shoulder. He felt the light weight and knew that something appeared behind him.

 Learn this thing well!

The sound of footsteps used to be so loud that it could be heard from a long distance away, but now, it has become silent and elusive.

What’s even more strange is that it can actually restrain its own aura, so that when he encountered Yu Xing, he realized that the ghost was already behind him.

  Could it be that the closer to the end of the alley, the stronger it becomes?

 “Are you going to attend Boss Liu’s funeral!?” Seeing that he didn’t answer, the hand on his shoulder tightened tighter and tighter, finally making Yu Xing feel a little pain.

He frowned and turned around, facing an ugly and stiff paper face with crooked eyes and a crooked mouth. He was laughing exaggeratedly, but his tone didn't match the smile.

 “Isn’t that right?”

It ends with an upward note, as if it will tear Yu Xing into pieces as long as Yu Xing admits it.

 But if it doesn’t admit it, it may not believe it, let alone attack people. Zhou Xue and the crippled house are examples before its eyes.

Yu Xing was slightly taller than the paper man. He lowered his head slightly, looked directly at this frightening face, and replied seriously: "Isn't that right? I just want to go to the funeral together?"

 The paper man was indifferent to his invitation, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and his voice was filled with anger: "Why do you want to attend Boss Liu's funeral?"

The sharp sound pierced the eardrums, and Yu Xing's head hurt slightly from the sound. The next moment, the paper man raised his paper hand and stabbed Yu Xing's chest with undisguised malice.

Yu Xing quickly retreated and escaped, taking the opportunity to break away from the paper man's hand on his shoulder. There were still five tiny holes on his white shirt, only as thick as a needle.

"Strange..." He noticed this and couldn't help but murmured. Several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and then he continued to dodge the paper man's stormy attacks.

The tips of the paper man's fingers were thin, but now, the fragile paper has turned into a sharp blade. Although it moves strangely and looks crudely made, it is actually very sensitive during the battle.

 “Tear!”

Yu Xing was determined to preserve his strength in front of the audience, so he only used one-third of his fighting skills. He didn't dodge any of them. The cuff of his gown was scratched by the paper man, and a small piece of skin on his left wrist was rubbed off.

 It is enough to see that the sharpness of the paper man’s hand is about the same as that of a metal weapon!

Red blood flowed down his fingers, and Yu Xing showed an expression of pain that could not be concealed. Then he shook his hand and took out the [Photography Dreamland] placed in the persona panel.

The dark blue dagger shone with a cold light, and wisps of green mist wrapped around the dagger body. There was a coolness in the ancient charm, and it also covered his wrist that was recovering quickly.

The paper man seemed to be dazed for a moment, which was due to the reaction to the powerful blue ghost inside the dagger.

However, the paper man's intelligence seemed to be low. After an imperceptible pause, it stretched out its arms and waved again. Yu Xing blocked it with a dagger. As soon as the two sides came into contact, a piece of white stuff flew out.

　　 is a half-length finger made of paper.

  [What sacrifice is so sharp? ]

 [It’s so hard, the paper man’s hand was cut off]

 [I always feel that I am lucky enough to hold this kind of dagger and wear a long gown]

[Fortunately, my skills are also good. Is this group of people really named Zhao? Isn’t it said that they are all intellectual deductionists? ]

  [I think Xing’s intelligence is stronger than his physical strength]

Except for some psychopaths who want to see Yu Xing roll over and be tortured and killed, those who are still in the live broadcast room are almost all people who are optimistic about him. They are more concerned about Yu Xing's own strength than chatting with each other.

Intelligence, deduction style, skill, and personality are all under observation, because no one can guarantee that you will not encounter Yu Xing in future deductions. If you waste the opportunity to understand the opponent and end up being tricked by the opponent, then That's ridiculous.

The moment the white paper finger flew out, suspicion flashed in Yu Xing's eyes. Although the dagger in Sheqing Mengjing should be a very strong weapon because of the presence of Yi Qing, it would not cut ghosts like clay.

If the paper figurines were really that fragile, they wouldn’t be able to break a layer of skin just by rubbing them.

 Dealing with paper figures cannot be that simple.

"Hehehehe...hahahaha..." The paper figurine whose fingers were cut off suddenly let out a spiteful and shrill laugh. It waved its hand, and saw layers of paper pulp re-condensed on the fractured surface, which quickly solidified and covered them layer by layer. , a new finger formed in less than two seconds.

 It is as if there is a non-existent paper maker following the paper man, filling the wounds of the paper man step by step.

Yu Xing clicked his tongue twice, thinking that this is the right thing. It is more in line with the paper man's position as a "gatekeeper".

Based on the current situation, there are only two possibilities. First, the paper man himself is invincible. Not to mention the plot, from a functional point of view, it is the biggest obstacle used to hinder the convergence of the deducers. It is used to delay time and open up the gap between the nine teams. progress gap.

 Second, the paper man can be injured to the point where it cannot hinder the deducer, but the key points on the paper man must be identified. The choice of hitting or not hitting will affect the subsequent plot.

 If it is the second type, you can try some vital parts, such as the head, neck, and heart. If it doesn't work, Yu Xing won't bother to waste time looking for it, so he will deal with the first type.

His head was tilted back, and the tip of his nose was just a hair away from the paper man's attacking hand. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the paper man's paper arm. The piece of paper in his hand felt rough and soft, and seemed to be able to be crushed with a pinch.

He did exactly that, using his palms to flatten the paper arm, he pulled the paper man forward and stabbed the dagger accurately between the paper man's eyebrows.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The paper man was pierced, and he kept his smiling eyes that couldn't change the arc. There was a burst of indistinguishable syllables in his mouth, and he grabbed Yu Xing's wrist with his other hand and pulled it out suddenly.

To a certain extent, Paper Man and Yu Xing are similar in that they both have fragile bodies but are frighteningly strong.

She Qing Mengjing was forcibly pulled out, and then Yu Xing saw that the paper man's eyebrows, like those fingers, returned to their original state within a few seconds.

Yu Xing kicked him over, broke free from the restraints of the paper man, distanced himself, and took a few steps back towards the gate of the mansion.

This detail was not captured by the paper man. It just pounced on him just like before, with the intention of not stopping until Yu Xing was torn into pieces.

Yu Xing took advantage of the fact that its momentum could not be stopped midway, and swept sideways behind the paper man. The dagger was completely buried in the "heart" of the paper man, but it also had little effect.

Thinking about it, a paper person does not have brain nerves or a heart to supply blood. It is indeed a bit taken for granted to judge the paper person with a human body.

Yu Xing felt that this paper man should indeed have no weaknesses. If it were an ordinary person, it would basically be a dead end when they met, and there was no other ending.

 Another thing that concerned him was that when he slashed the paper man, the characteristics of the dagger were not displayed on the paper man. Whether it was comfort, ability ban, or characteristics that had not been activated, none of them appeared.

 Previously, he used Qingmeng to injure the water ghost Shi Wei and the deducer Han Xinyi, which is enough to prove that the dagger's ability is useful for both ghosts and humans, but it is ineffective against paper figures.

This phenomenon alone was enough for him to think of many possibilities.

Yu Xing gave up and took advantage of his constant dodging and counterattacks to gradually approach the mansion.

 The barrage is also discussing the unreasonable ability of the paper man. [Fuck, infinite regeneration? ]

[Normally, the ghosts we encounter cannot be completely killed, but using the sacrifice ability will at least affect it, such as temporarily dispelling it]

  [The paper man is a bit strange]

  [This one is too unsolvable]

 [Si's side faced off against the paper man in advance, and he had already tried it out, and the paper man could not be hurt at all]

 [Yes, sacrifices are useless, you can only hide or run, that’s the setting]

I am a little curious about the role of this paper man in this mission stage. Is it BOSS, a pure disruptor, or the key to the plot? ]

I'm the only one who found out that I was lucky enough not to be hurt since I took out the sacrifice? ]

[Really, his reaction speed is considered the best before the Despair level? ]

 [Generally, those with this fighting quality, even if their thinking is weaker, have a good chance of being promoted to the despair level alive]

The audience's thinking began to diverge, and Yu Xing during the deduction found that it was not easy to simply get rid of the paper man.

There is no other reason. The paper man attacks too quickly. It is not human and does not know what tiredness is, nor does it know pain.

If Yu Xing ran towards the big house with all his strength, he might have a lot of wounds all over his body when he stepped through the door.

Then, the audience will see that all the injuries on his body have recovered at an incredible speed, and even the thick green mist that he deliberately let the dagger release could not cover it.

 It's not very good, not very good. If he is seen, he will lie again and deal with the consequences.

Of course, there is no way out if he really wants to run away. For example, the sacrifice [Mingzhu Tears] that he has not taken out for a long time can transform him into a zombie body, so that the wound recovery ability can be recovered.

But because he didn’t know what was going on in the big house, it would be bad to enter in the form of a ghost rashly, triggering a series of chain reactions. He didn’t care. It was his usual style to seek death happily, but if he did this, there was a high probability that he would be in the house. Zhao Yijiu and Zhao Ruru may be affected.

He is never willing to drag others with him if he wants to die. This is the difference between being casual and causing harm to others.

 And it would be a bit wasteful to transform back into human form after entering the house, and he was not happy about it.

Yu Xing narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the ends of his eyes, with an unclear look that often meant that he was thinking of some harmful move.

Is this paper man something that can communicate?

A few seconds later, while resisting to no avail and constantly dodging, Yu Xing's thoughts flashed in his mind and he said to the paper man: "Hey, don't you want to go to Boss Liu's funeral? If Boss Liu did something like that, Why don’t you go watch it after you die?”

 Thanks to the neighbors in the photo frame shop who are good at solving riddles, he also used "that thing" as a pronoun here. Although he himself didn't know what he was talking about, he believed that the paper man would understand.

As soon as Yu Xing took the initiative to mention Boss Liu, the paper man's movements stopped and he finally had a gap to attack.

 After two seconds of silence, it asked coldly: "Do you hate Boss Liu too?"

 It is indeed possible to communicate!

Yu Xing curled up his lips and secretly said that he likes ghosts that can be persuaded the most: "Yes, who wouldn't hate him?"

In fact, it can be seen from the attitude of the paper man that the paper man is obviously in a state of opposition to the funeral party, Boss Liu. Its words are full of hatred for Boss Liu. Therefore, when someone appears in the ghost alley and wants to go to that mansion When the time comes, the paper man will think that these people are here to pay homage to Boss Liu, whom it hates, and kill them.

 The root cause is that the paper man does not hate all human beings, it just feels that there should be no one to pay homage to Boss Liu.

So, Yu Xing tried to talk to the paper man from its perspective, and as expected, the paper man's attack stopped.

 “Why don’t you go in and take a look?” Yu Xing took the opportunity to turn around and wanted to get some information.

The paper man made a cry-like sound from his mouth, which was even worse than the previous mourning sounds: "I can't go in, I don't want to go in, I don't want to go in!"

 Are you unable to enter, or do you not want to enter?

This should be a concept for the ghosts in front of us. Many ghosts, due to their obsession during life, are extremely resistant to a certain place and will never set foot there again after death, otherwise they will be completely destroyed.

Yu Xing patted his wrinkled clothes and thought for a moment: "Then I'm going in? I can't see the excitement for nothing. How about I take a look for you and come out to share it with you?"

 At the same time, two heads poked out from the wall beside the gate of the Yin Mansion.

When they saw Yu Xing and the paper man "coexisting peacefully", both of them were stunned for a moment. Zhao Ruru whispered in surprise: "What did he say to the paper man!?"

Zhao Yijiu didn't reply to her, but there was a hint of "Sure enough" in his eyes.

He knew that Yu Xing always had weird ways.

He planned to attract the paper man's attention and stopped and decided to observe Yu Xing's situation. If Yu Xing proved that the paper man could be persuaded through communication, it would be a surprise.

 If that doesn't work and the paper man takes action again, he will immediately attract firepower so that Yu Xing can take the opportunity to enter the Yin House.

Here, when the paper man heard that Yu Xing was still going in, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Hehehe, you scolded Boss Liu... Will you scold him in front of his coffin?" His backbone?"

“…” For some reason, with Yu Xing’s familiarity with the world, he felt that the paper man did not want him to do such a thing.

 He always trusted his instincts and said after careful consideration: "No."

 As a result, the paper man suddenly became irritable: "Why don't you scold him?"

"Then I'll scold him when I go in." Yu Xing followed the good example and immediately changed his tune before he even raised his hand.

The paper man sneered sinisterly, and the harsh voice was long and drawn out: "Only I can scold him in front of his corpse."

 After saying that, he rushed over.

　　 Yu Xing: “…”

 Tsk, paper man.

It’s quite difficult to do.

Just when he was about to think of another explanation, a nail half a meter long came through the air, penetrated the paper man's chest with huge inertia, and nailed the paper man to the dusty ground, even splashing Several golden and silver round pieces of paper fell on the ground.

The paper man struggled on the ground, screamed with rage, and turned his smiling eyes violently towards the wall of the haunted house.

There, Zhao Yijiu had just withdrawn his hand. In order to completely attract the paper man's attention, he stretched out his arms, turned up his gown, and jumped down from the top of the wall like a white ghost.

He landed with a thunk and looked back at it with a cold look that was no worse than that of the paper man. He also held another long nail in his hand. The long nail was stained with rust, and the side of the tip was stained with solidified blood, and the evil spirit was overflowing. .

Today I was temporarily sent to a scenic spot to do unannounced visits. I won’t come back until nine o’clock. The update will be a little slower. I will finish writing 10,000 words today. There is another chapter of 6,000 words, so go to bed first, and you will have it when you wake up tomorrow morning_(:::з」∠)_嘤嘤嘤
