Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 31 Bloody Candle Tears

 The sun sets over the western mountains and dusk comes.

The village was empty yesterday evening, but today, as the funeral was about to be held, the villagers all came out of their homes and lined up to the east of the village under the leadership of the village chief.

They held identical candle trays in their hands, with unlit candles placed quietly, as if waiting for the night to come.

The deducers were also caught in the middle, surrounded by villagers. After knowing the truth, they felt like prisoners being escorted, accompanying a group of terrifying things to the execution ground.

　　Well, candles and I have a lot to do with each other... Yu Xing thought as he walked, the corpse party that was deduced last time was also a group of corpses lighting candles. What kind of indescribable hobby is this?

 He followed the flow of people forward, and Xiao Xuechen walked beside him, observing the surroundings vigilantly.

 Suddenly, a figure seemed to appear in her peripheral vision.

 The next moment, the figure quickly hid behind the house. Although it was fast, she was still caught.

 It must not be an illusion.

Xiao Xuechen pulled Yu Xing's sleeves and whispered, avoiding the surrounding villagers: "There seems to be something over there..."

 A villager looked at them suspiciously.

"Shh." Yu Xing stretched out his index finger and gently pressed it on Xiao Xuechen's center, not touching her lips but effectively stopping her from speaking.

"Isn't it normal to have blood?" Several common words in his mind, such as bugs, were quickly passed by him, leaving only one word that was not normal at all elsewhere.

Sure enough, when he heard that what Xiao Xuechen wanted to say was blood, the villager turned away with a bored expression and stopped paying attention.

"Don't worry, little sister, there will be a good show to watch." Yu Xing blinked at Xiao Xuechen, whose face suddenly turned red. Wei Fan beside him expressed that he couldn't bear to look directly at her.

 What kind of world is this?

 The iron tree is blooming?

If it weren’t for the fact that the deduction game couldn’t be told to ordinary colleagues in reality, he really wanted to tell the world and tell the male colleagues in the company that Xiao Xiao, who had always coldly refused their advances, always blushed at other men!

This is a rare little fresh meat, you can't compare with it!

Yu Xing retracted his hand, and his eyes intentionally or unintentionally crossed the place where Xiao Xuechen pointed just now.

 The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he knew that there was a surprise he wanted to see hidden there.

 About ten minutes later.

The procession was huge, and a large group of people finally arrived in front of the ancestral hall. The ancient building stood there quietly, looking so small in front of the number of villagers.

Yu Xing stepped on unknown weeds and keenly felt the coldness emanating from the ancestral hall in the dusk.

When we came last night, this was just a small building that looked a little gloomy, but in the afterglow of the setting sun, the aura was like a whirlpool, seeming to swallow up all the people in the future.

This place undoubtedly triggered a negative state in his body. His legs were a little stiff, and his face turned pale as usual.

"here we go again…"

Thanks to his special physique, he can judge how closely the surrounding things are related to supernatural beings and ghosts just by relying on his physical weakness.

 It seems that some kind of power has awakened in the ancestral hall where the funeral is about to be held.

Taking an uncomfortable breath, Yu Xing waved his hand to reject Xiao Xuechen's concern and continued to follow the team forward.

"help me…"

 In a daze, Yu Xing seemed to hear Zhou Yongsheng's plea again.

He looked around. Everyone else looked the same. They probably didn't hear anything. Yu Xing concentrated on listening harder, but the voice was too weak and never appeared again.

"It's not that he didn't appear, it's that I couldn't hear him..." He sighed inwardly.

 If it was before, he would not only be able to hear it, he should also be able to see it.

 What a pity—forget it.

 A group of people stood in front of the ancestral hall, stopping to look at the village chief, waiting for further instructions from the village chief.

“Guests, since you are Xiao Sheng’s friends, please stand in the middle.” The village chief smiled and pulled several deducers over and placed them at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Other villagers dispersed voluntarily, and the formation of stars and the moon surrounded them, leaving no gaps.

The village chief stood in front of Yu Xing and gave him an unclear look. On the other side, the village chief's wife touched the scar on her eye and stared at him with the same strange look.

Yu Xing felt as if he was being targeted by two poisonous snakes, but fortunately, this person and ghost were not a deterrent to him at all. He was not interested in teaching him a lesson at all, so he just quietly looked around the ancestral hall.

 What is different?

Where did the power that made him feel uncomfortable come from?

"The funeral begins!" Seeing that he ignored him, the village chief made a fool of himself. He smiled warmly at first sight and asked the deducer to wait where he was. Then he turned around and shouted at the villagers. .

 All the noise along the way fell silent. The villagers closed their mouths and followed the village chief with their eyes.

The village chief slowly stood in front of the black coffin, and knelt down across the coffin in front of the rows of blank memorial tablets. Other villagers followed suit, and suddenly, a large crowd of people knelt down in front of the ancestral hall.

"The dead are no longer seen and linger, and they are immortal beyond life and death. With the eyes of the living and the breath of the dead, witness the returning soul..." The village chief's deep voice completely returned to the oldest dialect of Guanjia Village, which almost made the deducers Can't hear what was said.

This dialect is difficult to decipher, and the elongated tones are like the incantations of ancient sacrifices. The cadences evoke a mysterious power that confuses people's hearts. "Here, do you want to kneel down?" Wei Fan asked hesitantly.

"Heh, I don't think it's necessary." Xiao Xuechen looked at these moving corpses, pride and coldness flashed in his eyes.

 Make her kneel? Just some ghost stuff, is it worthy?

 She turned her head. Xu Hong and Xu Yuan looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

 Turning my head again...Eh! ?

Xiao Xuechen happened to see Yu Xing's dwarfed figure, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that san—

 Oh, she is worrying too much.

 The next moment, Yu Xing was seen sitting cross-legged on the ground, with his arms casually supported by his sides. He looked like he was watching a show leisurely, which forcibly interrupted the sentences that Xiao Xuechen had not even had time to form in his mind, and they were all scattered.

 She's so stupid, really.

 She can never guess what the boss is thinking.

Aware of the gazes of others, Yu Xing raised his head and asked confusedly: "I'm tired, so I just sat down to rest for a while. Why are you looking at me?"

　　　…”

 Fortunately, the surrounding villagers didn't care about them. They were lying on the ground one by one, looking very respectful to the ancestral hall.

As the village chief repeated his chanting words over and over again, the sky gradually darkened.

Here, the alternation between light and night is so brief. When the warm colors in the sight are bitten away little by little, they are finally wrapped in cold colors...

brush-

In the ancestral hall, the symmetrical candle stands on the left and right sides shook violently. The next moment, the candles on them automatically lit up, lighting up a dancing fire.

At the same time, the candles in the hands of the villagers were also lit by clues that came from nowhere. The candlelight flickered in the dark night, causing Yu Xing to sigh at an inappropriate time:

 “It’s so beautiful...”

Hey Hey hey?

Xiao Xuechen watched this change with helpless eyes, and suddenly heard this sentence in his ears, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Yu Xing sighed, the cold currents that kept coming up in his body were still tormenting him.

 He really sat down to save energy, otherwise, his vision would probably turn black and he would be ready to faint at any moment.

 In this situation, there should be no substantial difference between fainting and dying.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

  Cold wind blew from all directions. Strangely, even though there were no caves or other narrow places around, the wind still made a shrill sound like a ghost crying.

　　It was so cold... Yu Xing couldn't help but tremble and covered half of his face with his hands.

Cold sweat oozed from his body, and he took a deep breath. Suddenly, his heart jumped suddenly, and the coldness reached its peak. His mind went blank for a moment, and a desperate roar exploded in his ears:

 “Stop him!”

It’s Zhou Yongsheng’s voice!

Yu Xing gritted his back molars and stood up amid the waves of dizziness. He looked up and saw that the village chief had finished his long chant and was placing an unlit candle on the black coffin.

This candle plate is exactly the one the woman uses in the kitchen, but this time the candles in the plate are a little special.

It is also white wax, but it is not brand new. Although it has not been lit, many candle tears have solidified on the side of the candle, and the body of the candle is engraved with the word "Lu".

 Some of the candle tears have flowed into the plate and become a liquid that will not solidify.

 That liquid is the red of blood.

"Now, I invite guests from far away to open the coffin with me." The village chief did not hear Zhou Yongsheng's roar. He looked at the candlelight and nodded with satisfaction, his eyes resting on Yu Xing with evil intentions.

 “That’s it...you seem to have a good relationship with Xiao Sheng.”

This is hatred locked on me, but it is just what I want.

Yu Xing smiled and tried not to show his weakness. He ignored Xiao Xuechen and Wei Fan's words to "be more careful" and walked to the village chief without hesitation.

“Can’t open it!” Zhou Yongsheng’s voice appeared in his ears again, and the coldness that surged to the bone marrow made Yu Xing’s face turn as pale as paper, as if it was colorless than a white candle.

His dark pupils are darker than usual, and there is a sickly look in the pure black.

“Come on, open the coffin with me.” The village chief urged him with a proud smile when he was scared.

"Village chief..." Yu Xing raised a smile with his bloodless lips.

Looking at this smile, the village chief's hair suddenly stood up, his heart trembled, and paralysis spread to his limbs.

Yu Xing's fingers were trembling, but his voice was steady, as smooth as a cold-blooded devil, as if the physical pain could not affect his emotions at all: "I don't want to open the coffin with you, let's discuss it, let's find someone else? "

"Replacement?" Although the village chief realized that something was wrong, he didn't find out what was wrong. "Haha, as Xiao Sheng's friend, aren't you even willing to do this for him?"

"Idiot." Yu Xing chuckled, "It's not me, it's you..."

　　Thank you for your support for so long. I will update it today.
