Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 241 Nightmare (2) - Rising Waves

The person who came to deliver the message was an intern from another group. Yu Xing stared at the drawing in his hand without raising his head: "When?"

The intern didn't seem to dare to talk to him, probably because he was afraid of being embarrassed by him, so he stuttered: "Sister Zhou, Zhou said that she had a meeting in the morning, but she knew that you had been designing the Ghost Bride recently, no? Wish you wasted your energy and..."

Yu Xing's expression became visibly worse, and he raised his head, with a hint of manic depression in his narrow phoenix eyes, interrupting the intern's chatter: "Just tell me when she is going to find me, and also, she doesn't know how to send a message? "

"You usually don't look at your phone when you're at work. Sister Zhou is afraid that you won't be able to see the messages you send." The intern looked at his face that should be so good-looking that almost makes people ignore his gender, and there was some inexplicable fear in his heart, "At noon, canteen."

 “I got it.” The design of the main characters is a big deal, and Yu Xing has no reason to refuse.

 He ​​is a little curious. There is currently information that shows that this game development project called "Nightmare" is closely related to the first phase of the mission.

Especially the plot, Zhou Xue happens to be in charge.

 The young master ghost in the first stage is real, otherwise the concept of supernatural space would not exist, so the possibility that the entire first stage is just a virtual game designed by Zhou Xue is ruled out.

Then the remaining question is very clear. What is the relationship between Zhou Xue's game and the first phase of the mission?

Even the mission is to protect Zhou Xue from surviving for three days, which means that during these three days, Zhou Xue will definitely encounter more than one life crisis.

Yu Xing cleared his mind and stopped making unnecessary guesses. After sending (scaring) the intern away, he glanced at the lower right corner of the computer and confirmed that it was 10:40 in the morning.

 According to the work system of this company, lunch break is at 11:30, and the afternoon work does not start until 1:30.

Since Zhou Xue asked him to discuss the role in the cafeteria, he could take the opportunity to see Zhou Xue's mental state or whether she was haunted by ghosts, and then figure out the scope of activities at this stage.

He also wanted to meet up with Zhao Yijiu and Zhao Ruru as soon as possible, but there were already a lot of people in the company, distributed in different offices. If he insisted on searching one by one, he might be noticed.

And since the main line is to protect Zhou Xue, the roles of Zhao Yijiao and Zhao Ruru cannot be too far away from Zhou Xue. At least they can be contacted on the first day. If they are not in the company, it means that the danger Zhou Xue faces has to be traced back. At home, on the street, everywhere.

That would be more fun.

Yu Xing accepted Zhou Xue’s invitation and started observing the drawing in his hand again.

What he put on top was a sketch with only lines. It looked like a kind of monster. The basic tone had been set. A slender figure bent over holding a pair of sharp long-nosed scissors in his hand, chasing after Run with a living person.

 This is a ghost that has not been seen in haunted houses or ghost alleys.

The lines were drawn very casually and very shallow, but the style of painting was the one he liked very much. Yu Xing picked up a pen and eraser and began to improve the painting.

 Before meeting Zhou Xue at noon, he could complete all the line drawings of this painting.

 [Mama, so fierce]

[This is getting into the role, good guy, I guessed it right, luckily this guy is a good actor]

  [I really want to see his identity information]

  [Is he really painting? The lens is a bit far away and cannot be seen clearly]

  [Want to see]

  [Want to see +1]

There is really no need for a long shot now. The camera in the live broadcast room seems to have heard everyone's calls, and slowly zooms in on Yu Xing's hand drawing lines, including the drawings under his hand, all of which are clearly visible.

  [Really painting]

  [Hey, these are the hands of an art student, I lick them first to show respect]

　　[This style of painting is so weird, it makes people’s skin crawl when looking at it, but... surprisingly it’s quite beautiful]

  [I have long guessed that he is an artist in reality, otherwise why would he have long hair]

 [I can’t stand him anyway, he looks like a girl, isn’t he a sissy?]

 No, in what era did a man look like a girl if he had pigtails? Appearance is really not important, the key is not personality.]

  [Is someone a sissy? He can beat you until your mother doesn’t even recognize you. Looking at it this way, you are worse than a sissy]

　　[Don’t you look quite manly? Look at these strong biceps]

  [You are so strange, first of all, Xing has short hair, and secondly, Xing has absolutely no biceps in his clothes]

　　[Are you blind upstairs? ]

　　[I am blind only upstairs]

 The topic turned from the painter to Yu Xing's appearance. Perhaps handsome people will always be gossiped about by jealous people, which will lead to disputes in this regard.

 But this time, someone finally felt something was wrong.

I have wanted to say this for a long time, and during the preparation time at the beginning, I felt that the happiness we saw was different? ]

[Some people say he has long hair, some say he has short hair, some say he is cute, some say he is oppressive, I am so confused, I think he is just a popular face]

　　[The newcomer is very confused, what happened? When you said that, I looked at him in a blur]

Yu Xing followed the original sketch and drew an exaggerated tongue on the mouth of the slender scissor ghost.

Unknown to everyone, the audience in the live broadcast room seemed to have realized something, and started a more intense discussion.

Yu Xing couldn't hear it, maybe if he heard it, he would respond to the audience with a very shameless smile.

 Since he entered this live broadcast, his behavior has been more relaxed than before.

 In the past, no matter what kind of deduction copy it was, he would pretend to be weak at the beginning to reduce others' wariness, but not this time. He was very calm in the ghost alley, and smart in the ghost house, as if he was showing off.

There is of course a reason for this, otherwise, he would definitely choose to subtly change the actions of his teammates to achieve the same ending, rather than reveal everything in a high-profile manner.

 Because...he has someone to rely on.

Originally, he was a person who liked to seek happiness from seeking death. He could row a boat without relying on an oar. If he was given a little space to develop, he could fly. Since he got the ghost notice that destroyed the rose as a reward sacrifice in the last deduction, He no longer has to worry about being recognized in subsequent deduction games due to his high profile and losing his disguised happiness.

 The name of the sacrifice is - [Rose Mask].

  【Sacrifice: Rose Mask】

  【Form: Mask】

[This sacrifice has been fused with "Personal Mask Sachi". The fusion ability is: ① Passive. After wearing the mask, everyone will see Sachi as they imagined Sachi to be. This ability involves the law of cause and effect and is irreversible. You will get the same result even if you look at photos, videos, and other residual images. Not valid for NPCs. ②Wearing this mask can greatly arouse dark emotions in people's hearts and create holes in the soul. The duration depends on the willpower of the user. A deduction can be used three times. 】

　　【Description: This offering is a reward for collecting ghost notices. It retains some of the characteristics of the original ghost. After being fused with Sachi's persona, it becomes transparent and invisible, covering the holder's face without any qualitative impact. It is a rare offering that has no time limit, so please use it effectively. 】

  【Note: Unfortunately for God, it has completely become a tool in the hands of conspirators. Oh, blooming rose, no one can appreciate your beautiful figure anymore. When people want to look at you, they can only see your face. Hey, on second thought, this face may not be as dazzling as Rose. 】

This sacrifice has no attack power, no defense, and does not allow Yu Xing to escape multiple ways, but it is the most satisfactory sacrifice he has received so far.

[Photographer Qingmengjing] Although it has a variety of uses because of its presence and its own attack power is very strong, it can only be said to be "strong". There is no particularly deep connection between it and Yu Xing.

In other words, even if Qing Mengjing is not a dagger, but a sword, a knife, an axe, or even a paintbrush, it will have no effect on him. As long as it can attack, he can still use it.

The [Rose Mask] was different. Its ability① made Yu Xing fall in love with it instantly.

 It was as if someone gave him a pillow when he was dozing off. Just when he needed to worry about the problem of recognition, a perfect solution appeared - in ability ①, the six words "the law of cause and effect is irreversible" must be emphasized.

To give an example, in a live broadcast room, if someone comes in and is told that Yu Xing is a woman, this person’s brain can’t help but digest this information and leave an impression.

Then, when this person looks at Yu Xing, he will see an image of a woman processed by his brain. This process cannot be interrupted, even if this person finds Yu Xing's previous live broadcast videos, or even sees Yu Xing's In all the photos left by Yu Xing, the Yu Xing he saw would also be a woman. Even if this person knew that what he saw was an illusion and believed that Yu Xing was a man, his brain had accepted the original image too many times, and even if he wanted to change this impression, it would be difficult to do so.

Even, as long as Yu Xing is still wearing a mask, this effect will occur to everyone. Without his knowledge, someone will directly look at his photo and replace the person in the photo with the person they guessed in their mind.

This ability can only be ignored by deducers of despair level and above.

It can be said that the ghostly characteristics retained by the rose mask itself are enough to be evil. After being fused with Yu Xing's personality mask with a degree of alienation of up to 52%, it has even developed a bug ability that is close to the rule level.

 But this is within the scope allowed by the rules. He has not violated the rules. Even if the system hates him, it can't do anything to him.

This means that his appearance will never be spread among the public, and what "Xing" looks like will forever become a secret of a few people.

 Unless he takes off the mask, the passive ability will automatically expire and the affected cognition will be corrected.

Yu Xing is now wearing this invisible rose mask.

　　From the beginning of the live broadcast, except for the rookie fans who have already seen his appearance and can see his true appearance, what other newcomers see is not him, or even completely different from him.

He had planned it. On all occasions where the title of his persona would be revealed, he would put on the mask to cause disruption. In normal deductions, he would use his original face. As long as the title was not revealed from beginning to end, he would be able to Completely separate this face from the identity of "Xing".

 This is the safest method. Although there will be people who have watched him and other rookie games doing unknown factors, this is within the scope of his control.

  Let’s talk about ability ②, it seems to be a very useless thing.

 Amplify the other party’s dark side and create holes in the soul, and then what?

 Turn the other person into a villain and then make the other person cry?

Yu Xing only felt that the fusion result of this rose mask was consuming his luck.

 He is an "amazing schemer".

Even without the abilities brought by the title, Yu Xing’s skills of instigation, deception, etc. are real. When he affects a person with his heart, coupled with the ability of the Rose Mask②, he can do many things that would otherwise be impossible.

Coupled with the title of conspirator, the very small probability of failure is even more sealed.

The two abilities of this mask are truly suitable for him and cannot be replaced!

 Coupled with the recovery of physical fitness…

 Now Yu Xing can really spend as much time as he likes!

 “Shu, shua, shua…”

The sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper was very pleasant. He was so serious that he seemed to have forgotten that this was a deduction and completed his work in an absolutely professional manner.

 In drawing, less than an hour passes quickly.

 After completing the line draft, Yu Xing stretched out and glanced at the computer.

 Eleven twenty-five.

Even though he hasn’t officially gotten off work yet, the people at the workstations around him are already ready to move, and some have even slipped away in advance.

Employees of Fengdu Company are not restricted in their lunch break arrangements. They can choose to eat at the food court not far away, or they can stay in the canteen and enjoy employee meals provided by meal subsidies.

Yu Xing sat in his seat and waited until half past eleven before getting up.

Almost at the same time, a delicate female voice sounded from two workstations away: "Brother Fang, I have a little problem here. Can I ask you for advice?"

Yu Xing looked over and saw that it was the woman who was filling the water dispenser at the beginning.

Hearing the woman's tone and seeing the way the woman looked at him, Yu Xing became convinced.

Even though Fang Xing has a bad personality, he is still within the range of ordinary people. He is just a little less patient and a little arrogant. These shortcomings are not enough for people to ignore his talent in art, his enviable annual salary and this Zhang has a face that few people can refuse.

The Rose Mask has no effect on NPCs.

 So in the company, there are still many women who want to hook up with him.

The woman who called him was a colleague from the art team. He thought about it and responded coldly: "I'm not free today."

"Is that so, Brother Fang is hungry? Then... Brother Fang, where are you going to eat at noon? I'll go with you. I really want to ask two questions. If I can make progress, Brother Fang will be able to scold me less in the future. "The woman didn't give up and walked over with a smile.

 In terms of figure, she does have the confidence to not be rejected, especially this business suit, which perfectly highlights her curves.

 “Fang Xing” is a normal man and shouldn’t refuse too obviously.

Yu Xing turned around impatiently and said, "Canteen."

 Then, there was no doubt that she would follow him, and he walked straight towards the cafeteria.
