Absurd deduction game

At the same time, a monotonous broadcast sounded throughout the castle.

The content of the broadcast was similar to what Yu Xing heard, except that some new words were added at the end——

"The saboteur is currently in the sculpture exhibition hall. I hope that all visitors will actively participate in the arrest. If a naughty guy who disrupts order is allowed to escape, Alice will definitely be angry. But Alice still doesn't know who has done the sabotage. She used the lights in the museum to leave a sculptural mark on the prisoner's body, which can only last for thirty minutes. So first, visitors need to identify the prisoner, find the sculptural mark on the prisoner's body, and hand the prisoner over to the housekeeper."

"Visitors who contribute will receive generous activity rewards. This will be an unforgettable experience during this visit to the amusement park. I wish visitors a good time."

There was a hint of surprise on Huai's face. He retracted his hand that was about to push away the ornate railing in front of him, and said with some confusion: "Isn't the Sculpture Exhibition Hall the field outside our bedroom window? Someone found a way down?"

At this time, there was a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Thanks to this auxiliary sacrifice, he was able to find the secret door hidden in the wall and discover the long corridor leading to the annex building.

There was a railing door in front of the corridor, and he could see the clean corridor through the railings.

Hearing his question, a female voice answered: "Not only that, it even triggered a mission. Regardless of whether this person was intentional or not, in short, the other party seemed to have caused some trouble... Should we join in the fun~ "

"But we don't know the way to the Sculpture Hall. We didn't put our energy there before. Now looking for it temporarily may just waste time." Huai gave up without much hesitation. Even though they were on the second floor, they were far away. The building seems to be very close. In fact, if I want to go down to the sculpture gallery on the first floor, I don’t know how many detours I have to go around and how many times I have to go up and down.

Having said this, he glanced helplessly at Huang Bai beside him, and then turned his head away with a miserable expression: "What's more... your current state is not suitable for anything."

Huangbai was covered with a sheet with the image of a beautiful girl printed on it.

Just one sheet.

She was draping the sheet over her shoulders and holding it in place with both hands, wrapping it up like a rice dumpling. She couldn't even stretch out an extra hand, let alone carry out activities such as "capture".

"That's right." Huang Bai looked down at himself and smiled.

This is her sacrifice [Stealing Bell]. After putting it on, she can use her abilities. As long as she doesn't make a sound, others will not be able to detect her. It is equivalent to an invisibility cloak.

What's better than the invisibility cloak is that it can even cover the breath, and is linked to Huang Bai's thoughts. As long as Huang Bai believes that he "will not be discovered", the effect of hiding his whereabouts will be even stronger.

When the two found the corridor leading to the auxiliary building, the system prompted them to find the key, and the key was hanging on the belt of... a huge physical ghost named the Resentful Researcher.

Judging from the size of the ghost and the sharp pipe weapons that scare people to death, there is probably nothing in the entire castle that can compete with it - except for the big boss Alice who has not yet shown her ghost side.

Of course, the two of them would not risk their lives to confront each other. In fact, after they triggered the ghost notice from the zombie researcher, they were muttering about which pervert could have created such a terrifying thing.

In order to get the key, Huangbai put on the [Stealing Bell] and used another sacrifice [ordinary eraser] that was good for eliminating traces. Under the cover of Huai's green snake, he almost stole the key.

Huang Bai's face turned green after he got the key and fled back. Fortunately, the railing door in the corridor was able to be opened.

However, the sacrifice of [Stealing Bell] has a very uncomfortable side effect for Huai, that is... after using the powerful concealment ability, the user will only have this bed sheet all over his body, and will not be able to wear any other clothing. The time is twenty minutes.

If you want to wear other clothes, those clothes will be stolen by [Stealing Bell] and disappear, and will not reappear on the user until the duration is over.

The Alice Hell sweatshirt and pants that Huang Bai was wearing were also stolen, so...she can only walk around wrapped in sheets now.

Fortunately, the sheets were big enough and thick enough. In fact, it was as if Huang Bai was wearing a big cloak. She was not embarrassed at all, and even moved with her usual boldness. She only accepted the key and opened the door. Finally, he almost didn't dare to look in Huangbai's direction.

"Then let's go to the annex building. Hehe, actually, it's okay not to go. A woman's intuition tells me that the enemy mission might be triggered by that lucky one~ If we don't go, there won't be a confrontation!" Huangbai said with a hand that was covered with sheets. He tapped Huai with his elbow and motioned for him to push the railing door.

Huai Xin said, a woman’s intuition? I believe you!

He finally figured it out. Huang Bai's strength far exceeded his expectations, but he didn't know why he wasn't famous. He wasn't a star performer.

If she said that the mission was triggered by luck, maybe she had some means to confirm it.

Huai silently cheered for Yu Xing. He had no feelings about Alice joining the battlefield early. It was just another more terrifying wandering ghost. After facing the zombie researcher at close range, the other ghosts were short-lived. It is difficult to put too much psychological pressure on him within a short period of time.

"Well, let's go." Huai tilted his head slightly and avoided Huang Bai. He pushed open the railing door and thought - if he and Huang Bai could end this deduction alive, he would not upload the video to Paid area.

First, he could tell that fortunately there seemed to be something he wanted to hide, and it was not convenient for the video to expose it.

Secondly... if the video is released, it won't be good for a girl like Bai Bai.

The two figures disappeared into the corridor, completely ignoring the chatter and repeating the broadcast twice.

…

[You have triggered the side mission]

[Side mission: Because you and the abandoned defective products jointly destroyed the art in the venue, a temporary alarm was triggered, and a half-hour hostile mission has now begun]

[Now that the defective product has escaped, you are the only one left to accept this mission. A black sculpture mark that lasts for thirty minutes has been printed on the back of your neck. The enemy will use this to confirm your identity as a saboteur]

[Hostile parties: you VS other players entering the venue]

[There is no mandatory position, the system will score the mission according to the consequences of your choice, and the mission score will affect the mission reward]

[Tips for newbies: The side missions are scored as: more than enough failure, mediocre, brilliant operation, under control, and beyond expectations]

[Note: Within half an hour, in this venue, the hostile mission parties attacking each other will not attract their respective ghosts]

The sculpture exhibition hall is quite large. After the alarm sounded from the mechanical lamp, a gray mist enveloped the sky above the venue, blocking the view from the second and third floors, and also blocking Yu Xing's way out.

Immediately afterwards, a series of system prompts sounded in Yu Xing's mind.

This seemed to be a side mission setting in the differentiation-level deduction. Yu Xing scanned it and touched his neck. He was quite satisfied with the content, especially the last one... it was a blessing from heaven.

Let’s just say, you will still be rewarded for doing things!

Gray fog filled the air above. In the center of the gray fog, there was a huge countdown made of soft light. The countdown started from thirty minutes and was accurate to the second. It could be said that everyone standing in the venue could see it.

At this time, the countdown had passed two minutes. Yu Xing didn't know how the people outside accepted this task. He didn't care at all. He squatted next to the remains of the female stone statue, holding a stone in one hand, and tried to solve the puzzle like a kindergarten kid. The female stone statue is put together.

He has already checked the new content of the ghost notice and has a general understanding of the defective products.

[Ghost 1: Abandoned defective product]

[Corresponding visitor:? ? ? 】

[Description/Source: 1. The invisible unwillingness makes the defective product become a wraith that can possess any stone statue, but it is destined to be ugly. No matter how perfect the work of art is attached to, the work of art will also be ugly. It will be full of cracks and completely destroyed. 2.? ? ? 】

[Attack method/special ability: 1. Possess the sculpture to perform physical attacks. 】

[Solution:? ? ? 】

[Notification progress: 40%]

"It's obviously you who smashed the thing, right? Why should I take the blame..." Yu Xing muttered to himself while fighting.

Although in this case, the unknown deducers around him would come to catch him, giving him a good opportunity... But if Han Xinyi and Han Zhiyong were not among the people who came, it would still be a loss.

If others fail to catch him, Alice will join the ghost camp in advance, which is not good news for him, Zeng Lai, Huai and others.

And after catching him, he has to be handed over to the housekeeper...

Yu Xing finished piecing together the belly part of the female stone statue and looked at it with squinted eyes.

Of course, he didn't want to put the stone statue together and take it to the housekeeper, and then say: "Look, you caught the murderer and broke it into pieces. You can just keep it."

Not to mention whether the housekeeper will let him go, the tasks issued by the system have already sealed the enemies.

The [abandoned defective product] ran away after destroying the things and put the blame entirely on his head. He had thought in his heart that when he found out who the ghost came from, he would beat that person up.

The reason why he had to piece it together was actually because he wanted to confirm whether the baby in the belly of the female stone statue belonged to this stone statue or whether it belonged to the "abandoned defective product" itself.

When he heard the baby crying, he felt that the cry was a little louder than the entire stone statue.

Therefore, he had a guess that maybe the "baby" was the real body, which was the external manifestation of the possessed spirit.

The results of the spelling out verified his guess.

The belly of the female stone statue is flat and has no gaps.

Sure enough, the thing in the stomach only appeared on the stone statue after being possessed by the defective product!

So... this means that the defective product can sense what is happening around him, so when he was about to approach the female stone statue, he possessed him in advance and waited for him to approach so that he could attack him.

"Zira——"

An extra sound suddenly appeared in front of him. Yu Xing stood up, quickly hid behind a sturdy statue with wings and looked up.

The Sculpture Exhibition Hall not only has an open-air exhibition venue, but also has a door on the walls on both sides of the venue, leading to a circle of indoor venues outside the open-air venue. There are studios for sculpture, toilets, and changing rooms. Waiting place.

In this sudden hostile mission, the blockade of the venue also included these rooms, which meant that in addition to staying in the open-air venue, Yu Xing could also hide in the surrounding rooms.

And now, the post-modern mechanical door in front of Yu Xing was opened.

A slender palm covered the door, and then, a face with a sweet smile appeared in Yu Xing's field of vision. His eyes lit up, and he secretly said that he was really lucky today, and whatever he wanted came to him.

He originally thought that even if someone came, it would take some time to find the way here, but now it seems that Han Xinyi may have found this way long ago and came directly after receiving the mission.

"anyone there?"

Han Xinyi's sweet voice sounded. She seemed unaware of the dangers brought by hostility, like a sheep that had strayed into the wolf's den and was looking for the shepherd for peace of mind.

Just listening to it makes one want to walk out immediately and tell her "I'm here."

A strange light flashed in Yu Xing's eyes.

Judging from her performance in the Throat Cutting Case, what this member of Single Prism is best at is suggestion, emotional traction, and mental control. Every word of hers, even an action or an expression, has a kind of attraction that attracts people's hearts. strength, otherwise, the deceased would not have agreed to go to a remote place so easily, and Yu Jiaming, Gao Changan and others would not have suspected her at all.

Now, attacks from the opposing parties would not attract deadly ghosts, which relieved Han Xinyi from worries. She increased her efforts when using this ability.

Therefore, even Yu Xing, who knew her true face, was in a daze for a moment, and then let out an unhappy "tsk".

Han Xinyi is here, will Han Zhiyong be nearby?

He put something down on the spot, and then relied on the overlapping sculptures to move his sight to a place that was less likely to be discovered.

"Hello? Please don't be afraid. I'm here to ask about the situation." At the door, Han Xinyi opened her beautiful big eyes. When she heard her voice echoing in the empty hall, but there was no answer, she smiled and opened the door with her backhand. It's closed.

Han Xinyi slowly walked into the sculptures, her eyes wandering, constantly searching for signs of living people in the gaps between the weird stone statues: "That's it, I was nearby and heard the broadcast, and I wanted to ask how you are doing now. Okay? No matter who you are, please listen to me——"

She was holding a knife in her hand, holding the handle with her fingers. The blade was hidden in the sleeve of her sweater. With just a slight shake, the knife could reveal its ferocious edge.

She walked lightly, and even put her head into the large tank held by the stone statue to take a look, looking like an innocent girl: "We are not necessarily hostile. In fact, we tourists are at a disadvantage in this deduction, and we want to maximize our chances." To survive, we must help each other.”

Black hair swept across the smooth surface of the stone statue, sliding down amid the meticulous carvings. The girl's voice was calm and kind, and even revealed a bit of weakness, which made it easy for people to believe: "We can't be fooled by Alice's rules, but should see the essence. Alice is instigating everyone to fight against each other. In this way, the living will become more and more difficult." The less she comes, the more unscrupulous she will be as the BOSS. It will definitely not be easy for the remaining people by then."

Leaving aside the sacrificial knife in her sleeve that had slit the throats of several people, what she said actually made sense.

Under the current rules, whether you choose cooperation or confrontation, you have a chance to survive.

"Boom."

A soft sound.

Han Xinyi paused and looked sharply at the source of the sound, only to see a very large stone statue.

The stone sculpture is of a man, which seems to have some mythological elements. The man's upper body is exposed, and a pair of huge wings spread out from his back, covering a large space.

There was a flash of excitement in her eyes, and there was no hint of it in her tone. She asked with some concern: "Is that you? I hope you can consider what I said. Before anyone else comes, let's discuss how to get through this safely. Hostile mission.”

After another silence, a calm but vigilant voice came from the direction of the stone statue: "Okay."

Han Xinyi's eyes lit up, this voice... sounded very much like Huai's.

She still remembered the appearance of Huai, a star performer, and said that handsomeness was more than enough. If he were to be killed...it would be completely in line with her aesthetics, wouldn't it?

Moving toward the Winged Stone Statue, she raised the corners of her mouth and once again strengthened her emotional pull: "I'm here, right?"

"I hope you won't go back on your word." The voice behind the stone statue sounded a little muffled, as if the speaker was wearing a mask.

"No, just believe me." She said soothingly. After turning around the stone statue, Han Xinyi saw a shadow on the ground that did not belong to the stone statue.

Without hesitation, she gripped the throat-slitting knife and slashed out quickly!

She has a certain understanding of Huai. In the video, Huai is proud and is definitely not the type to be distracted when things happen. Therefore, the other person is hiding behind the statue. For the convenience of movement, he must be standing!

This knife was exactly the height of Huai's neck that she had calculated. If nothing unexpected happened, even if the blow was not successful, it would definitely cause Huai to be seriously scratched.

But...she missed it.

It's not the kind of small error that pierces the sky, but the entire stone statue is completely empty, with no one at all!

Han Xinyi looked at the ground in astonishment. The only thing that proved that someone had been standing here was the blond doll lying on the ground.

The shadow she just saw came from this doll, which made her think that Huai was behind the stone statue, otherwise she would not have taken out the knife so decisively.

So... Huai actually discovered her intention a long time ago and was just delaying time?

Han Xinyi sneered, her fingertips scratched the blade, and a scratch appeared on her delicate skin, but she didn't notice it and didn't care.

She decided to use stronger language to find those who were hiding.

But before she could open her mouth, the doll with blond hair and a long dress on the ground, whose facial features were all blurred like a mosaic, opened her mouth first.
