Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 288 Long-cherished wish (20) - Mangbai

 Amidst the sound of the suona, the bride and groom straightened up and stood facing each other.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

 Two people who had never communicated with each other completed the ceremony of getting married after death. The ceremony was completed under the glow of red candles.

Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu, who were still sitting on the special wooden chairs in the high hall, tried their best to stay still so as not to notice anything unusual. Zhao Yijiu had already reacted at this time. Yu Xing placed him on the right, which was purely a loss. They all refused to eat.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the left side was the most important place for happy events, and the right side was the main place for funerals. The worship hall that is going on now belongs to the happy event. The left side is the position of the groom's father. Correspondingly, the position where he is sitting now is the mother's position.

Zhao Yijiu felt that Yu was lucky.

 It’s nothing more than a false identity in the eyes of the two corpses, and it’s no big deal.

Moreover, a modern young man like him doesn’t care much about the status of left and right. To him, any chair is the same. I don’t know why Yu Xing is so sensitive about this old-school concept and apologizes to him.

 Honestly speaking, if it were another person who was deeply influenced by his ideas, he might actually be angry, but he didn’t care about it at all, whether it was left or right or symbolic meaning, he would forget about it after the deduction was over.

Zhao Yijiu looked at the two corpses in front of him, stiffly bowing down face to face, and looked through them to the open coffin.

The coffin itself was nothing. What he was looking at was the coffin lid that had fallen to the ground. The blood formation on it seemed to have become dry and old in a short period of time. The coffin also carried the atmosphere of the times, as if a lot of blood had been buried underneath. Like years.

There was an invisible ghostly aura emanating from the blood array on the coffin lid. Zhao Yijiu relaxed his tension while sitting next to the powerful corpse and let his mind wander.

 He knew that staring at the corpse at this time might lead to betrayal, and it would probably be safer to think of other things.

 Just like this formation.

Deducers are good at different things. There are people like him who are good at fighting and are handy with weapons; there are also people like Zhao Ruru who are weak physically but are very popular for their abilities; and there are people who are mainly based on IQ. It is supplemented by dice; it is more about using a certain sacrifice as the main ability. Once you get used to using it, the sacrifices you obtain in the future will move closer in this direction, forming an ability system that suits you.

Although most deducers have not collected six sacrifices, or even only one or two, their abilities are like a pile of scattered sand.

What Zhao Yijiu thought of was people who were good at drawing formations.

He was born in the Zhao family. Although he officially entered the field of deduction at the age of twenty-five, he had already learned some basic relevant knowledge before that. These were all the elders in the family tried their best under the premise that the deduction system would not punish him. Things revealed, such as the formations in the deduction.

Formations are likely to appear in different types of deductions. Western, Eastern, and various styles have given rise to many different systems of formations, including Bagua and Qimen Dunjia.

Leaving aside the methods of drawing formations, experienced deducers roughly divide all formations into several categories according to their functions: trapping, illusion, killing, movement, summoning, cursing, and communication. After most formations are created, their functions are not the same. Not just a single one, but often multiple functions combined together.

The red silk formation in the yard was used for restraint, but if an ordinary person without the strength to tie a chicken entered the formation and provoked Liu Xue, he might also get the fate of being strangled by the red silk.

Then what is the array on the coffin lid used for?

 After the two corpses paid homage to each other, they both turned around.

The inaudible voice announced in a dead-straight and drawn-out tone: "The bride and groom are drinking wine—"

Young Master Fang and Liu Xue stepped forward one after another. Young Master Fang picked up the jug and poured wine into the wine glass. Liu Xue almost stopped in front of Zhao Yijiu, her big eyes staring straight at Zhao Yijiu's. face, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Yijiu looked forward, focusing on a point in the void, motionless, pretending to be a sculpture.

 As long as he doesn’t respond, he can’t go wrong!

When he glanced at Yu Xing from the corner of his eye and saw that Yu Xing was doing the same thing, he gained confidence in his judgment and took advantage of his usual habit of staying in a shadowed corner without saying a word, maintaining his expressionless face. expression.

 He was still thinking.

The master drew a small circular formation and asked Master Fang to come out of the coffin. The souls of Liu Xue and Master Fang must have been trapped among the corpses at this time.

 So the function of this formation is an alternative form of communication? Or a curse?

Both the Xu family and the Luo family have people who are good at formations, but their emphasis is different. The master's destructive method is more in line with the temperament of the Xu family's formations.

Although Si and Fangpian were not originally from the Xu family, they had been staying in the Xu family, so they should have been exposed to it. Now that the two of them were hiding under the desk, they might notice it.

 He was very interested in this circular formation.

because…

He was certain that it was this formation that triggered the vague murmurs in his ears before.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yijiu's eyelashes trembled. He had not heard this for a long time. The voice of the emcee who bowed to heaven and earth and then to the high hall could be heard by everyone. This made sense, but that kind of babble was not the case. He must be the only one. can hear.

What does 　　 mean? Does it mean that after suppressing it for so many years, he will still come into contact with some ghosts or evil formations in the deduction, so that kind of thing will come back?

Yu Xing, of course, didn’t know what Zhao Yijiu was thinking. The secret belonging to Zhao Yijiu could not be revealed during the live broadcast.

Yu Xing's attention was not on the formation, but on the people. He watched with interest as Liu Xue and Master Fang each took a wine glass. The jade on the wine glass reflected red light and shone on the faces of the two corpses. The endless paleness adds an eerie color.

 The arms of the two corpses were wrapped around each other, the cup was brought to the mouth, and with a tilt of the head, a glass of wine fell into the stomach.

 Okay, there is already a loophole in the layout laid out by the master.

It feels good, like pulling off a prank that will destroy your enemy.

The two corpses put down their wine glasses, and the resentment between the two sides increased to a new level. Yu Xing was so close that he could almost see wisps of uncontrollable black energy coming out of their faces. The suona music played more passionately and cheerfully, and Liu Xue showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　|

 The voice in my head announced loudly.

As soon as the second word was finished, a dark wind suddenly blew up. The candles in the room kept flickering, and the windows and doors trembled. All the deducers in the hall felt solemn, knowing that a critical change was coming.

Young Master Fang staggered a few steps and threw himself on his coffin. He seemed to want to climb in, but he forgot to let go of the red silk flower ball in his hand. The other end was holding Liu Xue, making him unable to lift his hand. He was so anxious that he couldn't lift his hand. There was a guttural sound that was not human-like, and there was a sense of sadness and misery in it.

Liu Xue was tilted by him and her lips became even redder. She stretched out her free hand and suddenly found that she was holding a paper knife in her hand.

The moment she saw the paper knife, Liu Xue let out a scream, and scars from the past emerged on her body. She screamed like crazy, and her hair was blown away by the cold wind. Yu Xing carefully identified her words and vaguely heard them. A sentence or two.

"why me?"

 “Why am I the only one!!”

She raised the paper knife in her hand, as if repeating the scene on the day of her death, she knelt down and the blade pierced her wrist over and over again. Yu Xing’s brows gradually furrowed.

The gloomy wind had no tendency to weaken at all. Instead, it became stronger and stronger. With a bang, the doors and windows were finally overwhelmed and popped open.

 The scene outside caught Yu Xing's eyes.

The red silk was fluttering, and the lady waiting outside got her leg caught by one of the silks. She screamed. There must be some special ability protecting her, and the red silk suddenly broke.

Madam fell to the ground in embarrassment and shouted: "Master! Where are you!"

"Master! You never said that the power here would start to riot!" The lady was unable to open her eyes due to the wind. She could only cover them with her hands and barely looked towards the hall.

At this glance, his eyes met with Yu Xing's, who was sitting on the wooden chair.

　　This exchange of glances finally happened.

Madam was stunned for a moment, and then said sharply: "Xiao Jin! You are not dead!?"

 Because the wind is too loud now, accompanied by the persistent sound of the suona, the lady can only shout loudly to hear it.

Yu Xing did not reply to her, but his pupils narrowed.

 Because, in his sight, the red silk suddenly faded.

 Yes, faded, the blood-red red is like a black and white movie, suddenly losing all color and turning into strips of white silk,

Not only the red silk, but all the red things in sight turned white in an instant. The trend of change continued to spread, and soon entered the 囍堂. In a trance, all the red candles turned into white candles, with the character 囍Changed to "dian", the fire in the brazier went out, and piles of remains of the underworld were shed.

Even the clothes of the two corpses were as pale as snow, as was the lady outside. She suddenly froze, and the red dress she specially wore was extremely white, making her look like a funeral paper figurine.

As if in the blink of an eye, the whole world turned into a funeral scene. The coffin finally no longer felt out of place. The two corpses raised their eyes to see the change. Master Fang continued to crawl into the coffin, while Liu Xue became even more crazy. stabbed his wrist.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

　　【Kill all the evil spirits, the special mission has been completed】

At this moment, the system prompt suddenly popped up, and Yu Xing's eyes flashed with surprise.

The master is not outside. He is probably chasing Luo Liang and his teammates. However, those two people still have time to catch evil spirits. I am afraid they have found a way to avoid the master, so there is no need to worry about their safety.

 The changes in white have not stopped yet.

Yu Xing stood up, and he found that except for things that were originally red, even other colors were not spared. Tables, chairs, benches, flowers and plants were all gradually turning white, and as long as they turned completely white, the things would appear as if they were white. A precarious and dilapidated posture, as if it would break at a touch.

 Is this the situation the master wants to see?

Liu Xue and Master Fang were haunted by ghosts, and no other changes could be seen except for their clothes. Yu Xing moved, and the sacrificial and square pieces hurriedly came out from under the white tablecloths on both sides.

Fang Pian said in panic: "What's going on? These two... are getting married, so they are so destructive?"

"I'm afraid it's the master's fault. He wants to get something. Isn't Fang Mansion a place of great danger? If there is no accident, the entire Fang Mansion will become a ghost house from now on." Si said, while involuntarily Looking at Madam, she saw that Madam's movements were stiff and she was already affected by the white color. There was worry in her eyes, "Madam..."

 As the lady's maid, although she is the second wife, she still does not want her to die.

It seems that after turning white, a living person will be in a state of near death. Madam wanted to rush over to question Xiao Jin, but she was stunned on the spot, with a strong sense of stagnation in every move.

Yu Xing saw that the clothes on Si and Fang Pian's legs had begun to turn pale, and the white color spread upward little by little. It seemed that because they were "outsiders", it spread particularly slowly.

 The same goes for him, so he is not too worried and there is plenty of time left for them.

He asked: "When you were with Madam, did she and the Master say how long the marriage would last?"

The priest pondered for a moment: "I don't know too well. You have also seen that the madam has been plotted by the master. The master has no intention of letting the madam live. How can he tell the madam the truth?"

Yu Xing snorted, suddenly feeling that something was not right, and turned around.

[Poisonous wine] is placed on an aging white wooden chair. It is also a foreign object and is also affected very slowly. At this time, only the bottom part of the bottle has changed color.

 What's wrong is... there was such a big movement, Si and Diamond both crawled out, why is Zhao Yijiu still sitting there! ?

Zhao Yijiu not only still sat there, but also covered his eyes with his hands. The most terrifying thing was that the white color on his body had spread to his chest!

 “Jiu Ge!”

Yu Xing immediately grabbed Zhao Yijiu's wrist. To be honest, the accident didn't scare him, but Zhao Yjiu did. "Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay..." Zhao Yijiu noticed that Yu Xing was trying to pull his hand away, and held on for dear life, insisting on covering his eyes. He took a breath and whispered: "I'm afraid it will take a long time for everyone to change during this visit. It ends when it becomes white.”

 “How do you know?” Fang Pian and Zhao Yijiu had been together in the same room for a while, and they were not as indifferent as Si, so he asked directly when he saw this.

 “I heard it…” Zhao Yijiu murmured, “What they said…”

"They?" Yu Xing said nothing, but Fang Pian frowned, confusion and doubt flashed in his eyes, "Who are they?"

Si also asked worriedly: "Are you affected by ghosts? Will the spread of white cause hallucinations?"

Yu Xing was silent and his eyes darkened.

 “They said…”

Zhao Yijiu didn't explain. He murmured, opening his eyes and quietly looking at Yu Xing. When he found Yu Xing staring at him, he pushed Yu Xing: "Go and see Zhao Ruru, I'm fine."

Yu Xing saw Zhao Yijiu's eyes during this process.

That is a pair of dark red eyes that belong to a fierce ghost.
