Absurd Deduction Game

Perhaps, there is no ghost who doesn’t want to truly become the person he is imitating.

 Replacing that person, possessing everything of the other person, identity, appearance, abilities, and living in the sun like a living person.

This is such a sweet and delicious pie.

Yu Shiqi thought that if "he" was not "him" - if he had not inherited Yu Xing's memory, he might be like many, many other ghosts who tried to kill real people in order to gain identity.

 Fortunately, he has a very clear understanding of this.

　　Not to mention that his current IQ does not allow him to do such a thing, even if it is a simple measure of strength, he knows that he is vulnerable to the real Yu Xing.

 After all, the level of this copy is not that high. Even if you create one of him, it will only be enough to squeeze your teeth.

Yu Shiqi sat at the dining table of the deducers, observing everyone.

Among the three candidates, the young girl seems to be the calmest. It may be that they have left frightening sequelae in many resets. The worst is the middle-aged woman. She clearly did not see the cashier and She looked exactly like the "person" but was already restless.

Little Celestial Master is a very enthusiastic young man. I wonder if this title will become "Celestial Master" when he grows up. His only shortcoming is probably that his strength is limited. In addition, the little Celestial Master has a The charm decoration reminded Yu Shiqi of the Luo family in his memory.

 Perhaps he is a newcomer from the Luo family?

 The killer's sense of existence is very weak. He should have some special abilities that make it impossible for others to analyze his face when their eyes fall on him.

Yu Shiqi is not Yu Xing, and he can't see clearly the killer's appearance. He can only feel a cold temperament from the other person.

 Besides...this man in a suit with the title of Gao Lou made him very uncomfortable.

 It’s not uncomfortable, it’s just annoying at first sight.

There is a kind of obscure and weird shrewdness on that face, which implies the unwillingness to please the little heavenly master and to be subordinate to others, and it is a condescending contempt for others.

Yu Shiqi didn't see many such deducers in Yu Xing's memory. Maybe only in low-end games can you see such people with a higher heart than a piece of paper.

At this time, the Little Celestial Master was discussing countermeasures with Qu Nianqing, who seemed the calmest here. The Little Celestial Master, the most powerful one in Gaolou, would rather discuss with a taciturn woman than seek his opinion. Already full of dissatisfaction and darkness.

"Since there is a copy, it means that there is a high possibility that there will be a copy for each of us. My opinion is that we should find the opportunity to find the copy first and test the attitude of the copy."

Little Celestial Master touched his chin and suggested: "What do you think?"

They have just entered the store. There are no other clues except the welcome at the door, and the plot process is not triggered immediately. This shows that this dungeon should be a dungeon that emphasizes free exploration and is not as clear and clear as the mandatory plot dungeon.

 They can only rely on themselves to explore a little bit.

The candidates didn't say anything. Of course they believed in experienced people. Qu Xianqing raised his hands and expressed no opinion. The killer nodded, and Yu Shiqi also said "Yeah".

Xiao Tianshi actually doesn't trust his own IQ, but none of his teammates this time seem to be as good as him. He can only act as a commander: "Then we will find a chance to leave later. The clones must exist. In the barbecue restaurant, let’s divide into groups now—”

"You can't take such a risk." Gao Lou interrupted him, and the man in a suit straightened his tie, with a serious and worried expression, "What if the clone takes action as soon as we meet? I don't care, there are three more people here who have no ability to resist. If there are no newcomers, they will definitely die once the clone takes action."

“What do you want? Sit here and have a barbecue before leaving?” Qu Nianqing seemed to dislike him very much. He curled up the corners of his already mocking lips and glanced at him lightly.

The tall building was instantly ablaze with this look. Naturally, he hated this look that seemed to say, "I've seen through you."

“What I mean is that instead of taking this risk and putting newcomers in danger, it’s better to choose a safer method.”

Yu Shiqi clicked his tongue twice in his heart.

 He already knew what Gao Lou wanted to say.

This routine and this rhetoric are so classic.

 Obviously, I have some thoughts that I feel sorry for others, but I still want to drag the three candidates to give my high-sounding reasons, as if the plan I am about to propose is just and helpless.

 “What method?” asked the Little Heavenly Master.

Gao Lou coughed dryly: "Isn't there a person who has already dealt with the clones? Why don't we let him dig some clues on the clones and test the clones' position..."

“We will try our best to obtain as much data as possible from his clones, so that we can keep the three candidates safe.”

"Isn't this good?" Before he could finish speaking, Yu Shiqi spoke weakly.

Yu Xing may still pretend, but Yu Shiqi knows that his life only lasts for one instance, so how can he still have the patience to endure such a thing?

 He turned to the tall building with an innocent face: "Then I won't be in danger?"

"Danger is inevitable, how can a copy of the deduction be safe?" Gao Lou was calm and even took it for granted, "Then why can't we maximize the benefits?"

"Ah, you're saying that it's the best way to maximize your benefits by letting me be cannon fodder to explore the way for you." Yu Qiqi lowered his head sadly, "You're also passing on the dangerous consequences of me having to deal with clones alone into 'our 'It seems like you have made some contribution to it, why are you so lazy?"

He didn't leave any room for Gao Lou to retort: ​​"This is not a dungeon where if one person wins as a team, everyone can win. You just ask me to do something that everyone should do in such a high-sounding way."

“The risks shared by everyone are concentrated on me alone, ah, it is indeed your ‘profit maximization’.”

"Then the three newcomers will even thank you for thinking about their safety, and even resent my rejection. If you say a few more words, they will feel that my sacrifice is deserved."

The three candidates, who had become a little agitated by his rebuttal, suddenly looked away with guilty conscience.

 Tall buildings: “…”

Being robbed like this, all his hidden intentions were analyzed, and the face of the man in a decent suit suddenly turned green and red.

He was used to the tacit understanding of adults' social interactions, the pressure from superiors on subordinates, and the daring of subordinates to be angry and afraid to speak out. So when he saw "Unknown's" seemingly timid character, he took matters into his own hands. Divided into types that can be bullied.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't buy it and slapped him hard in the face.

He argued: "This is just your personal idea. I don't think so. What I said is indeed the optimal solution, isn't it? The welcome copy at the door is the only anomaly we see now. Of course, we must contact him first."

"Then you go and get in touch." Yu Shiqi said pitifully, "It's not like he can only communicate with me. It's the same if you go. Whoever proposes it will go."

 Gao Lou: "..." He suddenly no longer wanted to look for clues from the Yingbin clone.

What’s even more outrageous is that it’s hard for him to understand why the Little Celestial Master just listened to him instead of agreeing with his proposal. Isn’t what he said also good for the Little Celestial Master?

"Well, that makes sense." The little Tianshi finally spoke under his gaze. The young man supported his chin with one hand and said enthusiastically, "Then go and talk to the person greeting the guests in the high building. It's better if you go "Unknown" goes to safety. Even if this type of ghost is malicious, most of them are malicious to the other person. "

 “You!” Gao Lou was a little angry.

 He made suggestions that were good for everyone, but was backstabbed by everyone.

Dimly, he seemed to hear a mocking sneer coming from the killer.

"First of all, you said it wrong." Qu Xianqing's face was cold, attracting everyone's attention.

“The Yingbin clone is certainly not the only anomaly we can see. Perhaps you are blind?”

Even if she couldn't interfere too much in this deduction due to system requirements, she just kept a low profile, which doesn't mean her demeanor would soften a bit.

“First of all, don’t you have any idea about the animal-faced customers in the whole barbecue restaurant? The reversal of the status of animals and humans in this barbecue restaurant is obviously an important clue in this deduction.”

"Second, have you seen the tall foreman? He has a name tag on his chest. He is the commander of the entire front hall. It is also obviously a breakthrough."

Qu Xianqing's ruthless and well-founded Rui was so clear-cut that Gao Lou couldn't even utter a retort: ​​"Thirdly, if you weren't blind, you should be able to see who the person on the cashier is and who is leaving you. Who is the one serving food two tables away?"

“There are so many clues. How did you say that the Yingbin clone is the only anomaly?”

 Everyone's eyes were a little dull, and their heads were turning with every word he said.

　　The middle-aged woman saw herself standing behind the cashier, and the ordinary man also found a face exactly like his own while passing the dishes.

 His human face is really too conspicuous among the animal-faced waiters.

The two of them suddenly became nervous. Seeing someone else's copy is completely different from seeing themselves. Their current perspective is like that of bystanders watching themselves, which is weird and uncomfortable.

Especially, they don’t know whether that “self” is good or bad, whether it is their connected destiny, or whether it is the **** of death who wants to kill them.

Little Celestial Master’s eyes lit up, and his title changed instantly: “Sister, which route do you think we should take?”

 Qu Nianqing raised his eyes.

 “Three lines in parallel.”

"First, check the position of the clone, secondly, figure out the relationship between the named clerks in the barbecue restaurant, and finally, figure out what the interchange of status between humans and animals implies." In order to "not interfere", she did not even mention It’s time to reset the perspective to the core.

 But such clear logic is enough to make the situation clearer.

The little Tianshi ignored Gaolou's embarrassment at this time and quickly hugged him on his lap: "Sister, you are right. As soon as I saw you just now, I felt that your sister is a very experienced person. Then we still have to explore in groups. wrong?"

At this moment, a pig-faced waiter pushed a trolley and served them meat plates.

 The discussion among the people stopped temporarily, and everyone carefully looked at the waiter who was serving the food.

Soon their attention shifted from the waiter to the meat that was served. The meat was very strange. It just looked different from the meat they usually eat, giving people a very creepy feeling.

It seems to be a natural feeling of rejection, and there is a voice in their head suggesting that they cannot eat this.

And is the meat a little too fresh?

 The slices of meat are still breathing, stretching and contracting, as fresh as the beef that has just been cut by the butcher in the vegetable market.

 The middle-aged woman shuddered and her face was extremely ugly. She felt that she would never touch these things until she died.

 “I’ll grill the meat for you.” The pig-faced waiter said in a good manner.

 The muscles on its face are strangely crowded, as if it is showing a bright smile unique to pigs.

Seeing that the pig had already put a plate of meat on the sizzling baking pan, the little Tianshi tried to stop him: "We can do it ourselves. Why don't you go and work on other tables?"

Pig Face said apologetically: "This is the table I'm responsible for. I have to help you grill the meat, otherwise the foreman will definitely blame me."

These strange meats are cooked very quickly.

 In almost a few words, the fragrance began to spread.

Everyone was obviously wary of this, but when they smelled the strong aroma, they suddenly became hungry.

Everyone couldn't help but yell, swallowing saliva while clashing with the pieces of meat on the baking pan.

Yu Shiqi heard the candidate girl's stomach growling loudly. She was not embarrassed, but just covered her stomach in horror, as if she was afraid of the sudden hunger.

 On one side, there is fear and on the other side, there is longing.

 He ​​was not affected in any way, but he knew that this was probably just because he was a "ghost" and different from humans.

There are more and more cooked meats on the grill pan. The pig-faced waiter took out the roasted meat and put it on an empty plate. He probably completed the necessary work of grilling the meat. This time the waiter was finally willing to leave.

"If you need anything, just call me. After you finish eating, I will come back to help you barbecue."

 Without the waiter, everyone’s faces fell.

"You can't eat it, take it away quickly..." The little Heavenly Master frowned.

The candidate girl was frightened and picked up the chopsticks as if she was out of control: "I'm so hungry, how about I try a piece... Just try to see if I can eat it..."

"There is no turning back once you try." The Little Heavenly Master said in a more forceful tone, "Everyone, please hold back. I will throw away this plate of meat—"

He picked up the plate and was about to empty it into the trash can at his feet.

He succeeded.

This plate of meat didn’t go into anyone’s stomach, but everyone’s expressions didn’t improve either.

 “Strange, why do I suddenly want to eat it so much.” The middle-aged woman murmured to herself.

"This is the influence of the copy. It is attracting us to eat these meats, so we must not eat them." Gao Lou was eager to regain his face, so he explained a few more sentences to the three candidates, "If you eat them, you will either die or Alienation, or death conditions are met, in short, it must not be eaten! "

"How many rounds can we survive?" The girl covered her head, "This is only one game!"

yes.

 There were seven or eight plates of raw meat on the small dining carts around them.

Can they endure the first set, and what’s next?

Only they can feel how attractive the plate of cooked meat was to them. The moment they smelled the aroma, their brains seemed to be blinded by something, and their appetite overshadowed their thinking.

Seeing that the pig-faced waiter noticed that their meat was gone and walked over to their table, the little Tianshi lowered his voice and said: "Those who don't have enough self-control must leave the table!"

The candidate girl took a deep breath, pulled the middle-aged woman who had not yet reacted, and stood up. She forced a smile and said like a friend saying, "She and I will go to the toilet first."

After saying that, he took the middle-aged woman to the direction where there might be a toilet.

The little Tianshi also turned to the pig-faced waiter and said: "The meat is delicious, but it's not easy for a group of us to get together from all over the world. I want to chat more. I just finished a plate. You can come back later." The meat will be roasted by you."

 He is stalling for time.

They have realized that the aroma of barbecue is too strong, and if they want to restrain themselves, they can only put the barbecue into the trash can as soon as possible.

And if they throw one plate and bake another, their meat will be roasted soon, and it may be judged as the end of consumption, and they will lose the exploration time as guests.

 So we can only try to extend this time interval as much as possible, and we will discuss other matters later.

As expected, the pig-faced waiter did not take another step forward. After a moment of hesitation, he retreated to where he originally stood.

 Everyone who stayed at the table breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the killer said: "The cashier is gone."

What! ?

They all looked in the direction of the cashier in unison, and then they realized that the cashier who had been standing there, the clone of the middle-aged woman, had disappeared at this moment.

I don’t know when she moved, but no one noticed.

“It’s broken.” The candidate man murmured, “Isn’t he going to kill someone?”

 The middle-aged woman had just left the table, and the cashier was also missing.

 This is almost like—

The cashier caught the opportunity of the middle-aged woman being alone and couldn’t wait to follow her.

 “I’ll go take a look.” The Little Heavenly Master stood up, “You guys…”

His eyes turned around and finally fell on Qu Nianqing: "Sister, can you come with me?"

Qu Xianqing is a woman. Something really happened in the women's restroom. It was easier for Qu Xianqing to get in.

Qu Xianqing said "hmm" indifferently.

The two people quickly walked in the direction where the girl and the middle-aged woman passed by just now. As they walked, the little Tianshi wondered: "It's strange, there are so many diners and waiters with animal faces on the road... They all look hairy to me."

“How could that girl be so bold and drag that aunt away like that?”

 “Isn’t she afraid?”

　　Qu Xian Qing Youyou said: "Maybe she is really not afraid."

Seventeen resets have occurred so far, but in fact, after the eleventh time...she has not seen the girl's copy again.

 At the post where she was supposed to stay, she disappeared without a trace.

 What does this mean?
