Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 344 Throne

 No matter how bad you feel, you have to go in.

What’s more, what makes the player feel bad is often the key to breaking the game.

The space inside the stone door was much wider. After the three of them walked in, they changed from Yu Xing taking the lead to being side by side. Yu Xing and Carlos protected the weakest Lin in the middle. The flashlight shone on the ancient stone wall, and gradually the stone wall gradually Some colorful murals appeared.

I don’t know what kind of paint was used to paint these paintings. It has been more than a thousand years, and the colors have not faded at all. They are still bright and bright. The things recorded on them are easier to understand than those on the stone gate. Most of them are war records, and there are also soldiers escorting grain and grass. Weapons and other screens.

If you have not understood the demon path, people who come in may think that this is a king's tomb.

“Shijiu cannot be contacted, and Mai’s signal seems to have been disconnected.” Carlos came back to consciousness from the mural, thinking that Shijiu seemed to have not spoken for a long time. He took the initiative to try to call, but found that Shijiu did not reply to him.

He just realized it. It seemed that after entering the stone gate, the signal was lost.

“We can’t contact them at all.” Yu Xing murmured. Anyway, they and their group had almost lost their equipment due to the interference of the timeline. Now it’s better to just treat it as if they don’t have the equipment.

"It's also possible that Shijiu is in danger." Lin remained pessimistic about this, "or Shijiu has turned into a ghost and doesn't want to pay attention to you."

"I hope she and the people left on the ground are safe." Yu Xing gave a blessing without hesitation, "Let's go, this team dispersed faster than I thought."

 In fact, if there was no problem with the timeline, it would be impossible for this team to fall apart so quickly. It’s just that the timelines overlap, making it easier to combine all the bad results together, resulting in the team not being able to cooperate at all, and it’s miserable.

 After walking for a while, a stone platform appeared in front of us.

The stone platform is a bit hidden, hidden in a corner, low and simple. If Yu Xing hadn't been used to searching every corner with a flashlight, he would have missed it.

“There are words on it!” Carlos approached the stone platform and read it carefully for a while, and became happy.

It's a pity that there are always many written records, either inscriptions or silk books, found in the tombs in the past, unlike the tomb of Demon Dao, where I only saw a few words until now.

Yu Xing glanced at it with interest.

The words on the stone platform were written with white paint. The fonts were strange and complicated, with strong pictographic features. Yu Xing took a long time to identify them, but he could only make out the meaning of a few vivid patterns. He asked: "What is written here?" What is it?"

 Finally, there is someone who can't do it. It seems that this person is not omnipotent. Lin breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the pressure was relieved: "It said that from the birth of the Demon Dao to his burial, there were more than 820 wars, and the Demon Dao participated in 513 wars openly and covertly, destroying thirteen small countries, and killing a lot of people. Excluding."

There have been more than 800 wars. Yao Dao herself, or her forces, have participated in more than 500 wars under her instruction. This is simply the troublemaker of the times. She may have secretly started many wars.

　　Very cruel.

Yu Xing's attention was not on the content, he said: "Lin can understand ancient characters."

Lin nodded, his eyes stayed on the stone platform for a moment, and then looked directly at Yu Xing: "Of course, Feng Shui requires exposure to many things. If I can't even read the text, I can't control my current identity."

 He seemed to be telling the other two that he was pretty good.

Yu Xing's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "So, you can completely interpret the text. You can do what archaeologists or historians do. Then Unika is really useless."

Lin was stunned for a moment, and his face turned slightly pale.

Yes, Yunika took over the job that originally belonged to him. He didn't notice such a big change when he first entered the tomb palace.

The impact of the ghost on his memory this time was so terrible that he had never even heard of such a thing from other seniors in the team.

After getting the insignificant information from the stone platform, they walked forward and found the first fork in the road three minutes later.

This forked road is actually like a staircase, one sloping downwards and the other sloping upwards, making it difficult to choose.

“Isn’t it that going up coincides with the flower field of Ghost Tongue? It should be a confusing dead end?” When Carlos used to practice card magic, he often had to memorize cards, so he had an excellent memory. He suggested, “Let’s go down.”

Lin Ye said: "Well, the road below contains a special kind of energy. It should be closer to the main tomb of the demon road."

Yu Xing stretched out his hand to explore. The temperature of the road below was very low, and it felt like it led to an ice cellar. Not to mention whether it led to the main tomb, there were indispensable ghosts along the way.

 He readily agreed: "Okay, go down."

The three of them chose to go down. This time, no one saw it. At the entrance of the downward path, a few drops of bright blood gathered on the stone wall and dripped silently to the ground.

 Such a fresh blood stain, it was obvious that it had been left no more than two hours ago.

 In the past two hours...someone has been here!

 …

After choosing to go down, there were very few road options. The three of them walked for more than ten minutes. They could only feel that the terrain was getting lower and winding as they walked, but there was no other way to choose from.

They were not slow in their steps. They were paying attention to possible mechanisms while moving forward quickly. Even so, after another twenty minutes, they still didn't see a way out. It felt like the road was going dark.

Carlos hesitated: "Did you take the wrong path? This road is used to detour tomb robbers?"

“Do you think you walked here just now?” After Carlos questioned, Lin pointed to the scratched wall, “I seemed to have seen the exact same marks ten minutes ago.”

　　"A ghost hits a wall?" Carlos clicked his tongue twice, "San, what do you think?"

"Lin is right, we have walked this road three times." Yu Xing calmly pointed the flashlight at the corner, "There is a triangular piece of gravel here, I remember it very clearly." Carlos and Lin looked along the light , and sure enough I saw a naturally formed, somewhat triangular-shaped large stone.

“Damn, why didn’t you tell me if you’d discovered it earlier?” Carlos rubbed his temples, “What’s the fun in walking the same way all the time? It’s better to take a rest while you have the time.”

"I just want to confirm whether this ghost is just trying to trap us when he breaks into the wall, or he is trying to launch a sneak attack." Yu Xing's tone was so boring that he said, "I gave him so many opportunities and no ghost came, Carlos, right? Did the ghost-control mark on your body scare away the ghosts?"

 Carlos: “…” Do you blame me?

 He heard Yu Xing add: "How about you throw away the ghost seal."

Before Carlos could speak, Lin Xian couldn't hold back his cough. He found that his indifferent character was not enough to break up in front of San: "Do you know what you are talking about? That is the Ghost Control Seal, which can greatly reduce our ability. Danger, you want to throw it away?”

Yu Xing just mentioned that not all of the three people here regard seeing ghosts as fun, and of course he would not take the initiative to put his teammates in danger.

"just kidding."

 Lin: “This kind of joke is quite scary.”

However, since we have discovered the ghost wall, we have to find a way to crack it.

Lin was very good at this. He took out his compass and recited a few scripture commands that were beyond Yu Xing's knowledge points. The turbulent clouds in his eyes brought up bursts of white mist. This is the function of the compass sacrifice to determine the "correct" direction. Correctness is set as a broad concept, which is very convenient for pathfinding.

Lin Dao: "Let's do this. Close your eyes. Sometimes our eyes can blind us and fix our mistakes."

Perhaps the wall seen by the eyes will also be recognized as a wall by other senses, including touch.

 But if you close your eyes, this wall may not exist.

 “Are you going to lead the way?” Yu Xing curled his lips, “Okay.”

He agreed, and Carlos had nothing to say. Lin asked Carlos to put his hand on his shoulder, and Yu Xing behind him did the same to put his hand on Carlos.

Yu Xing and Carlos did as they were told. Lin stood at the front and closed his eyes. He only used the compass to expand his perception to explore the real "road".

He deliberately forgot all the roads in his mind and took the first step under the guidance of the compass.

 Then comes the second step.

Lin Xiajiao was a little hesitant at first, but after taking more than ten consecutive steps without hitting anything, he became more confident and no longer wasted time, leading Yu Xing and Carlos toward the destination he perceived.

There was darkness in front of him, and his whole body was cold. The coolness continued to seep into his internal organs along his skin. The sound of several people's breathing reached Lin's eardrums. No one spoke. An overly quiet space could easily make people panic.

 Finally, someone spoke.

Carlos' voice was slightly tight as he asked, "San, can you stop pinching me when you put your arm on my shoulder?"

Lin paused and almost opened his eyes.

This is such a Flag-like sentence. Most of the people who say this in horror movies are not human behind them.

Carlos himself also knew that he had been pinched several times along the way, just because San might have done some silly pranks. He was not sure whether it was San starting to be naughty or whether it was San who was no longer behind him. After being pinched for the fifth time, And after it became heavier each time, he finally couldn't help but ask.

Yu Xing closed his eyes and said with a smile: "I didn't pinch you. Maybe you were attracted by a ghost."

 Those who can say such things must be really San.

 Carlos was relieved at first, and then began to consider the possibility of this sentence.

Is there really a ghost who is harboring bad thoughts and only looking for him to pinch?

If he ignores it, will his shoulder be torn off in the end?

 “Lin, can I open my eyes?” Carlos asked.

 Lin's voice seemed faint and a little distorted at this time: "It's best not to."

"When I opened my eyes, I realized that the person I was riding on was not Lin, but a ghost with long arms and a long head." Yi Qing chuckled, fanning himself repeatedly, "Yu Xing, you What do you think of this ghost story?”

Yu Xing originally didn’t want to pay attention to Yiqing, who had been telling him all kinds of ghost stories in the dark, but based on Carlos’s words, he guessed that the ghost photographer was bored enough to pinch the magician’s shoulder.

 He opened his mouth and made a silent mouth gesture, which he believed Yiqing could see.

 “Don’t mess with Carlos.”

"I'm really unhappy if I don't straighten people out." Yiqing was not very cooperative and full of resentment, "This human named Lin has the ability to find a way in the illusion. I thought I could see a trapped person. A great show that crashed and nothing happened.”

 He ​​sounded regretful: "If this place was completely controlled by an absurd system, it would definitely not provide such staffing. Huh, that experiencer system... is really in the way."

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and heard what Yi Qing meant. The experiencer system is indeed in conflict with absurdity.

It's a pity that he can't ask questions out loud here. When this deduction is over, he must ask Yiqing for advice in reality.

Soon.

He estimated that as long as he found the demon master's tomb, he would be able to understand part of the secrets of resurrection, and the chaos in everyone's timeline would also be resolved. When the timeline returns to normal, the deduction will be over.

—The timelines will definitely be unified. Let’s not mention the NPCs for now. With the three outsiders, plus the possible outsiders from Oster Company, there will never be only one timeline to complete the task and return to reality. The remaining timelines But he also has the memory of "outside". As an outsider, if he can't leave, it is equivalent to inexplicably losing the opportunity to clear the game and stay in the game forever.

 Only the unification of timelines can solve this problem.

As for the ghost sinking into the tree, Yu Xing has a guess...

At the head wall, the system's attitude made him guess that the appearance of Gui Chenshu was not expected by the Absurd System. In other words, the Absurd System knew the role of Gui Chenshu in the deduction, but never thought of letting the deducers interact with it. touch.

Originally, this tree was hidden very deep. As long as the deducer knew of its existence and avoided it with fear, the ghost Chenshu would not take the initiative to trouble the deducer. It was too powerful to be a danger. Deducers like Xing who haven't reached the mourning level should get in touch.

But the ghost Chenshu still appeared. It was related to the curse in Yu Xing's body and was more active than the absurd system expected. Yu Xing himself was an accident. The more reason, I am afraid, is the ghost of the experiencer system.

The people who came into the Absurd Deduction this time were all struggle-level deducers, who were not qualified to contact Gui Chenshu, but that’s not necessarily the case with the experiencers. Maybe those who came in from the experiencers were much stronger than Yu Xing’s current level. Are you coming here just for Gui Chenshu?

Yu Xing's mind became active. He recalled the figure of a man in a trench coat that came to mind when he picked up the black suit doll. He always felt that the man in the trench coat must be very strong.

If that person's mission is not to the Demon Tomb Palace, but to the Ghost Chenshu, then all the loss of control will be clearly explained - he was completely implicated, and he accidentally came into contact with the branches of the Ghost Chenshu, thus deducing that Some secrets about the curse inside the body.

 This is a coincidence, but it also seems to be an inevitable result.

Yu Xing was silent for a long time, until Lin said: "We are out, please open your eyes."

 He opened his eyes and was shocked by the sudden appearance of light. He squinted and looked at the new environment.

Behind him is the tomb passage he just walked through, and in front is a vast underground palace.

None of the locked treasure boxes in the palace attracted Yu Xing's attention. He saw at a glance that there was a large protruding stone platform in the center of the palace. The stone platform was carved with exquisite and elegant patterns, surrounding a "throne." around.

On the throne, a woman was crossing her legs, looking down at them from a high place with a smile, with obvious contempt and temptation.

"It came faster than I thought. You grave robbers in this world are much smarter than those trash in the past."

 The familiar voice echoed in the palace, ethereal and dangerous.
