Absurd Deduction Game

 In this "tribe" surrounded by mountains.

Lanterns swayed under the eaves, reflecting the figures of people coming and going in front of the door.

People in colorful short-sleeved shirts were whispering to each other. An aunt passed by holding a basket of wild vegetables. She craned her neck to take a look at the crowd and asked curiously: "Is the stage set up?"

"It's set up, it's set up. Oh my, what a good day today is, so many people come to our village!" A younger woman responded happily, with exaggerated and exquisite silver earrings hanging on her ears, and she moved with her movements. jingle.

“That’s right, first the passing troupe wants to rest, and then the tourists stay overnight, hey.” The wrinkles on the middle-aged man’s face burst into laughter, “That’s a lot of money!”

“Who wants your house to be the biggest? If I had known it, I would have called my Alang to build another building.” Someone complained.

 But no matter what they said, all the villagers were happy.

Amidst the noise, a tall figure slowly turned out from the corner, pushed the door open and entered a lighted house.

As soon as he entered the room, the figure sat on the chair next to the dining table. The kerosene lamp on the table illuminated his slightly wild eyebrows, and his bronze skin exuded a sense of restrained strength.

"The person who broke the mirror is here." He held his chin casually with one hand and said to the woman in the room in a low voice mixed with laziness, "It's on the village road."

“Oh, let’s go meet them later.” The woman responded gently, without any surprise in her tone.

She obviously cared more about acid and the county's affairs, and said to the bronze-skinned man: "I can confirm that the opportunity to open the dungeon lies in the sudden visit of the troupe. Nie Lang, Yanming is not here this time, we may need help Zhao Mou’s ability, please have a better attitude later and don’t make others quarrel.”

“Tsk, you know I have a bad temper. If the person who breaks the mirror is the mother-in-law, I can’t help it.” Nie Lang, a member of the surviving investigation team who has been under guard all year round because of alienation issues, rolled his eyes.

 The woman's expression became gentler, and she asked calmly: "Who is the person in charge of this copy operation?"

Nie Lang froze: "...you, Song Xue."

“Well, so you have to be obedient, you know?” Song Xue’s eyes narrowed, “Otherwise, I, the only team doctor, might find an opportunity to kill you. ^_^”

Nie Lang was shocked: "I understand, don't mess with me."

 The two of them had not exchanged a few words when they heard that villagers outside had discovered a new outsider.

Song Xue held a faded shadow puppet in her hand and listened quietly to the voice belonging to Zhao Mou.

Po Jing has cooperated with the Survival Investigation Team several times, and she has read the information frequently, and she can recognize the timbre of Po Jing’s think tank.

As expected, after confirming that Suyu County was not exclusive and was very hospitable, the other party proposed to stay in an empty house in the name of a tourist.

 Then they were arranged to live in the house next door to them.

After it calmed down for a while, Song Xue stood up and said, "Let's go find them."

Nie Lang pinched his wrist.

 …

On the other side, Zhao Mou, as the only talkative person in the team, lived in a low mud house with three hands-off shopkeepers.

The house is not beautiful, and there is no furniture inside. There are only two beds side by side, which can barely accommodate four people. Of course, they had no intention of sleeping, so Zhao Mou fabricated the identities of the four brothers and sisters very perfunctorily, saving a lot of trouble.

The ethnic minority sister who rented their house was enthusiastic and cheerful. Not only did she not question their origins, she also reminded them with a kind of simple happiness: "It's a coincidence that you are here. A theater troupe happened to come to our village. They're going to put on a show to pay for their stay!"

"The stage is set up. They will perform in an hour. Remember to come out and have a look?"

Zhao Mou's eyes flashed with confusion, and his face was sweet and sweet: "Okay, sister, we will definitely go."

 A sister lit the oil lamp for them and closed the door.

 It was still very lively outside the door, and most people were discussing the theater troupe. Several people in the room listened attentively, and combined with the situation that Zhao Mou had just discovered, they roughly understood what was going on.

Suanyu County is said to be a county, but it is actually not included in the government's planning territory. People here think that the place where they live is a village, and they are villagers.

 Because the village is in the mountains, few people usually come in or out. Only they occasionally go to the nearest Longtou Town to buy things or sell some products in the mountains.

 They are isolated, but they are not cut off from the outside world. On the contrary, whenever outsiders come to visit, the villagers in Suanyu County become more enthusiastic than the other.

Today is very special. Three tourists from the city came during the day, two men and one woman. They said they came to explore the mountains and wanted to spend a few days in the village.

 At dusk, another shadow puppet troupe came, with a master and four apprentices.

According to the disciple, they were going to perform a shadow puppet show for a rich man. They wanted to take a shortcut through the mountains, but they got lost and turned to Suanyu County on the way. Seeing that it was getting dark, they wanted to rest in the village.

In return, they wanted to perform for the villagers the plays that were supposed to be performed for the rich, as a rehearsal.

The villagers were so excited. They had never seen any shadow puppet shows since they were born. As soon as this novelty came out, they immediately attracted the attention of the whole village. They hurriedly helped set up the stage - the shadow puppet show requires a small stage, and the most important stage box is The old master brought it with him, and the villagers were just happy.

 Then, Zhao Mou and four others came.

"The situation is very clear. Let's go and see the master of the shadow puppet show later." Yu Xing put the pretend backpack at the foot of the bed. "Are the three who arrived before us from the investigation team?"

“Well, only Yanming can be faster than me and give their team members more room to prepare.” Zhao Mou pouted. It felt bad to be compared with this kind of ability.

"Ha, what about the others? Can the rest of the Zhao family catch up?" Siren looked at his phone.

As expected, there is no signal on the mobile phone, but I can check the time. It is already 6:30 pm.

"When I came here, I received news that the Zhao family and the Luo family planned to come together, and they would take a helicopter." Zhao Mou said in a calm tone, "Oh, I don't have the ability, so I have to spend money."

  Siren: “Six.”

Can a helicopter really survive this ghostly crossing of Longling? Oh, yes, the three major families have such a deep foundation, there must be ways to prevent transportation equipment from being affected by ghost energy.

"Come on, there's nothing to stay in the house. Let's split up. I'll go talk to the people from the investigation team who are coming this time. You guys can spread out in Suyu County to inquire about the troupe, and then see if you can make sure that no ghosts are here. Is the village because of the troupe or because of the village itself?”

After Zhao Mou finished speaking, in line with the idea that the captain has the right to make the decision, he said to Yu Xing: "How about it? Dear captain, do you have any other ideas?" (End of this chapter)
