Absurd Deduction Game

 “Hold it!”

“Hold on! How is the master? Can you still hold on?”

 On the boat in the center, the water is roaring and the people are roaring too.

This ship is a passenger boat. It is small in size and has only one wooden room for people to rest. It is transparent on all sides and is supported by thin carved columns and air-leakable window panes.

 The room is equipped with carved tables, chairs and screens, and is usually used for short-distance river view tours.

Now, the screen has collapsed, the decorative bottles and jars are broken on the ground, the heavy rain has long flooded the hull, and the flying raindrops have wet everything in the shipyard.

Zhao Mou grabbed the two corpses who were trying to jump off the boat with one hand, tied them up with ropes again, and pulled them to the center of the boat.

On the floor, there were still several struggling corpses rolling around. They were all **** with ordinary hemp ropes. Because the movements were too large, they would break free after a while, and then they would have to be caught again.

 The weather was swaying, but fortunately the hull was protected by the Immovable Mountain Spell and remained stable. However, Ren Yi, who was responsible for activating the talisman, was not in good condition—he had been holding on for too long.

Ren Yi's face was visibly pale, and he was sitting helplessly leaning against the wooden wall of the boat. The cloth covering his eyes had also fallen off... He only closed his eyes, and seemed to be relying on his hearing to understand the development of the situation.

 The situation in the boat was very bad.

These six corpses... were all brought in by the old man. The old man controlled the corpses to walk to the boat, but disappeared when they came to stop them.

The corpses did not transform into corpses, attacking humans everywhere, but they seemed to be given the command "must jump into the water", and no one could hold them back. Fortunately, before the corpses were swept into the river, They discovered something -

 Only when the sedan girl is around, the power of the corpse will become smaller, giving them a chance to control the corpse.

The Siren didn't want to board the ship. Her identity was too sensitive and she might fall into a trap if she boarded the ship. However, in order to control the body, she had to step into the boat.

They wanted to quickly control the corpses and drag them back to the inn, but just when they finally pulled the corpses to the center of the boat house, the old man suddenly appeared again and untied the ropes that tied the boat!

The river water couldn't wait to swallow them up, and almost instantly, the ship was swept into the river, far away from the docking place of the port.

 So they fell into such a passive situation.

Song Xue and Zhao Zhan took out their Immovable Mountain Charms to stabilize the ship. Ren Yi took over the activation of the two spells. The Siren also wanted to help, but she found that the river was particularly attractive to her, so she only got close to the ship. At the same time, she actually had the urge to jump down.

The sound of the river gradually became concrete in her mind, as if there were waves of murmuring, constantly saying to her: "Come down...come down..."

 The identity of the sedan girl...is really a time bomb!

In order not to become a burden to her companions at this time, she stayed peacefully in the boat and made the corpses weak and passive.

The red wedding dress is cumbersome and cumbersome and clings to the Siren's body, making her feel uncomfortable and at the same time like a shackle.

As time went by, the voices in her mind that were not hers became louder and more frequent. She had already wanted to ignore everything and jump directly into the river several times to fulfill her "marriage".

Except for her and Ren Yi, the other three people were working hard to drive the boat to the shore and were responsible for catching the bodies that broke free from the rope. They were very efficient and barely managed to form a stalemate with the river.

 But if the stalemate continues, they will be the first to be unable to hold on!

If Ren Yi can no longer withstand the damage to the soul caused by the Immovable Mountain Curse, they will have to replace them and lose a combat force who can move freely.

 This will only get worse and worse. What's worse is that they alone can't anchor the ship to the shore!

 So they could only persist while waiting for help from other deducers. During this period, they also saw countless water ghosts floating in the water.

I don’t know how long it took before Zhao Mou saw two ships coming towards them.

 He paid attention and saw one of the ships being shattered by the whirlpool, while the other one quickly approached them.

 On the boat were Yu Xing and his brother!

 Oh, there are also the two surviving investigation teams.

"Hello-"

 The two sides met, and Quinn waved to them: "We are here to help!"

Song Xue said loudly: "Come up!"

 The two ships crashed into each other.

Fortunately, their boat was obviously not as strong as the boat. After barely docking, Zhao Mou handed them a hemp rope, and they climbed onto the boat one by one along the hemp rope.

When Yu Xing got on the boat, he glanced back and happened to catch a glimpse of Zhao Yijiu, who was picking up the Immovable Mountain Curse. His face was pale and there was a strange sense of stagnation in his movements.

　　　…”

The anger in his eyes flashed away, and he quickly jumped onto the boat and stared at Zhao Yijiu until he landed safely with his still-appearing agility. The boat, which lost the spell to suppress it, quickly disappeared into the river and was torn and buried by the dense hair of the water ghost.

Everyone took a breath. Yu Xing glanced at it and roughly understood the situation on the boat and why they stayed on the river.

“It seems that we need to collect four Immovable Mountain Spells to temporarily suppress this place before we can return to the shore smoothly.” Yu Xing hit the nail on the head and motioned to Zhao Yijiu to display the talisman.

 The person behind the scenes gave them such a prop, and it should be used at this time.

Everyone works together to fight against ghosts and the unshakable force of nature. This kind of passionate plot...isn't it my favorite part of "drama"?

As he spoke, Zhao Yijiu waved the talisman in front of them, then placed it on the ground next to Ren Yi, adding the protective effect of this immovable mountain talisman to the hull of the ship.

Ren Yi was motionless, his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he looked as if he was dead. He didn't care about everyone getting on the boat.

 Zhao Yijiu raised his eyebrows.

This is the consequence of activating two charms at the same time? Moreover, the time it took Ren Yi to activate the spell was probably four or five times longer than his.

 Soul...

Over there, Zhao Zhan’s eyes lit up when he saw the talisman: “How many do you have?”

"Just this one." Quinn replied quickly, with a bitter look on his face at the end, "So, the other three are not all with you?"

If there was only one missing, Zhao Zhan's question would definitely not be like this.

“…We have two, and including yours, there is still one missing.” After Song Xue finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.

 Where is the missing one?

 Among those who stayed in Yizhuang, Zhao Ruru’s items were bells, Zhao Dongxue and Cheng Yiju’s items were mirrors and gold hairpins respectively, and Zhao Huaisheng’s talisman was already here.

 The only person who may possess the talisman is Luo Yan!

"Could it be in the hands of that young master?" Zhao Mou was familiar with Luo Yan as a doctor. He recalled that he had never seen Luo Yan use props.

Even when he was tricked by a servant, Luo Yan escaped on his own.

Zhao Zhan frowned: "Where are the others? Didn't they come?"

"Everyone else is in Yizhuang. There are only four of us here. Don't you have eyes?" Nie Lang didn't look good on anyone and rolled his eyes when he heard the question.

"But the eldest young master seems to be very kind and will not let others suffer danger. He will probably arrive soon." Yu Xing said this with certainty. He guessed that Luo Yan would come out of the backyard after resting for five and ten minutes. Enter the courtyard gate here.

“Let’s tie the corpse with cotton thread first, so that we don’t have to worry about them struggling anymore.”

This proposal was unanimously approved. Everyone divided the cotton threads and tied the hands and feet of the six corpses. They finally became quiet and remained stiff and motionless.

 The people on the boat could finally breathe a sigh of relief as there was no longer a sense of urgency to retrieve the body at any time.

"Let the master rest first, and let someone else activate the wood chips. If this continues, the master may die." Siren Youyou said, trying hard to restrain his instinct to jump into the river.

At present, Ye Jiang has no new tricks. Two talismans can ensure the stability of the boat. They freed Ren Yi, one was activated by Quinn, and the other was activated by Zhao Zhan as designated by Zhao Yijiu.

It was originally here, and one side of the two parties who had only reinforced the ship later. The relationship was reasonable.

As for the charm Zhao Yijiu brought, he put it away again and put it back in his trouser pocket.

“Master, how are you?” Song Xue calmly knelt down next to Ren Yi and patted his face.

Ren Yi’s body was as cold as if he had been dead for a long time.

 Fortunately, he was still breathing, and the air exhaled from his nose was still warm.

"I..." Ren Yi slowly opened his eyes, revealing his gray, unfocused eyes, "It's okay..."

 “But I feel a little uncomfortable now.”

 He seemed to want to stand up, but did not move for a long time, and it took a while before he could bend his legs.

 In the eyes of everyone's concern, he looked paralyzed and said numbly: "...the body is disobedient."
