Absurd deduction game

The dark alley gave Zeng Lai an uneasy feeling. Sure enough, sometimes it would be better for his intuition not to be so accurate.

Just after sending the message and before running a few steps, a figure suddenly jumped out of the shadows of the alley. When he realized it and was about to turn around, a white silk handkerchief stretched out from behind and covered it with a very skillful gesture. His mouth and nose!

There was a strange fragrance on the silk handkerchief. Because it was covered so suddenly, he took a deep breath and immediately felt something bad.

The person behind didn't say a word. After covering his face with the drug-stained silk handkerchief, he also restrained him with his body to prevent him from struggling. This was really unexpected. Zeng Lai didn't grasp the best opportunity. If there is a chance to break free, it can make a struggling sound of "woo woo".

Waves of dizziness came over him quickly, his heart stopped for a moment, and a confusing word appeared in his mind: It's over!

Facts have proved that the drug is not only effective for children and women, but also for him, a vigorous young man of sixteen or seventeen years old. The effect is rapid and the effect is immediate.

Feeling weak all over and unconscious, Zeng Lai quickly fell into a coma with annoyance and a hint of panic.

He never expected that when he woke up again, he would see such a scene that shattered his cognition.

In the gray room that was tightly covered by curtains, a humming with a changed tone spread.

To a certain extent, Zeng Lai was awakened by the hoarse humming sound as if he had swallowed glass shards.

The old air conditioner made an overwhelmed roar, and the warm air blew up the thick dust in the room, cruelly uncovering the musty smell and spreading it into the air.

Zeng Lai felt like he was sitting on the hard and cold ground. In addition to the musty smell at the tip of his nose, there was also a sticky smell of blood that had been suppressed and evaporated everywhere. He didn't dare to open his eyes or move. He quietly moved his fingers and found that his limbs were bound by something. He discerned the source of the humming and could tell that the person was very close to him.

Where am I……

Damn it, did you really meet a kidnapper?

Zeng Lai's mind was in confusion. During this period, many people were spreading rumors about missing students, but the person who happened was not from their school, and the source of the information was uncertain, so Zeng Lai didn't take it seriously at all.

After five or six minutes, the person who made the sound has not stopped yet.

Zeng Lai thought that he couldn't sit still and wait for death, so he quietly and carefully opened his eyes a crack.

However, the scene in front of him was still beyond his expectations and exceeded the endurance limit of an ordinary high school student.

The thick smell of blood smeared thickly on the tip of his nose like oil paint, making him feel nauseated and at the same time realize his situation.

There were corpses all around, more than one, each scattered around the room in a messy manner - the forensic doctor probably wouldn't be able to piece them together without some effort.

Judging from the cloth covering the corpses, these corpses were all girls - in the corner, there was a piece of cloth that looked like a long skirt.

His face was pale, his eyes showed panic and fear, and his uncontrollable trembling made another person in the room notice him.

On the wooden rocking chair, the man in construction clothes stopped his meaningless out-of-tune tune. The young man's expression seemed to please him, causing a smile to appear on his face that was full of vicissitudes of life, fatigue, depression and madness.

He got down from the rocking chair and walked step by step to Zeng Lai, who had his limbs tied and fell to the ground. Zeng Lai was trembling and did not dare to look up.

What's happening here! ?

Zeng Lai, who originally thought it was just a kidnapping case, roared in his heart. When he woke up, he was actually next to a murderer?

I fucked like this, wasn’t it really a dream?

"Unexpected gain. Unfortunately - it's a man." At first glance, the man in construction clothes looks like any construction site worker who has just finished work. He is in his forties and has a fairly handsome face, at least if you don't look at his expression. , it is difficult for anyone to connect him with the perverted murderer who killed a whole room of people.

He stretched out his hand and pinched Zeng Lai's chin, forcing him to raise his head and then looked back and forth. The rough calluses on his fingertips made the boy's skin tingle. Zeng Lai didn't understand the man's sudden intention of saying this.

And the next second, Zeng Lai's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene before he lost consciousness.

Yes, he was chasing the school girl he didn't know. In other words, the person in front of him was originally targeting the school girl.

No, actually these are not important. What is important is, where is the school girl? Still alive? How could he himself escape?

Zeng Lai had no idea how long he had been unconscious. This room was very old, a bit like a private house from many years ago. There were no such houses in the city center, and only a few places on the outskirts of the city still had such scenes.

At least, it shouldn't be far from school...

Zeng Lai kept thinking in his mind. He had never realized that his thinking speed could be so extreme before.

I left a location for my deskmate, he should have called the police...

At this time, he couldn't help but feel lucky that although his deskmate disliked listening to lectures and playing games just like him, he was very loyal and a very reliable person.

The man in the construction site uniform looked at him for a few times, then sat back on the wooden rocking chair without interest. He seemed to have no intention of dismembering him immediately. This made Zeng Lai break into a cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.

This man didn’t know that he had called the police, so he would be saved as long as the police came!

While thinking, he continued to look around.

The place where he is is a living room, and the door symbolizing freedom is on one side. There is a kitchen and toilet next to the living room. Also, the room with the door closed is the bedroom.

The place is small and everything is old. It can be seen that the living standards of the men wearing construction site uniforms are not very good.

There were about three corpses put together. For the time being, Zeng Lai didn't see the clothes the school girl was wearing at the time.

I hope the school girl is not among these people.

Wait...it seems there are more than just female corpses.

In front of the bedroom door, there was a relatively complete male corpse. Zeng Lai didn't see it just now because he was lying down. Now that he saw that the man didn't do anything to him, he boldly sat up and saw this scene.

The man in construction clothes rocked the rocking chair, making a creaking sound: "I didn't intend to kill him, he wanted to save others."

Zeng Lai knew the man was talking to him, but he didn't know and didn't want to know what it meant.

Save people? Who to save?

Kill those you didn’t intend to kill?

"Ha..." The man yawned, exhausted and excited at the same time. He took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and muttered, "Why is it already eleven o'clock again... Let's get something to eat."

After he finished speaking, he staggered into the kitchen without looking at Zeng Lai's reaction.

His figure disappeared into the living room, and Zeng Lai breathed out again.

Delay time...

At this moment, there were several sounds from the bedroom door.

Zeng Lai was startled and looked over there with wide eyes.

A girl's muffled voice appeared in the room: "Is anyone there?"

Even though the voice was suppressed, Zeng Lai was still very familiar with it. After all, the owner of the voice had just confessed his true feelings to him.

It’s that school girl whose name I can’t name!

The sound of cooking came from the kitchen, temporarily drowning out the low voices of conversation. Zeng Lai said: "How are you?"

The person inside the door paused, as if they didn't expect anyone to respond, and it wasn't the killer's old voice. She became obviously excited: "Were you arrested too?"

"Yes." Zeng Lai told himself to try to be calm.

"He left, right? I heard him go to the kitchen."

"yes."

Zeng Lai now doesn't know what to do except answer as much as possible.

The school girl didn't know if she recognized Zeng Lai's voice. Her next words were: "Help me quickly and open the door while he's not there. He locked it from the outside!"

Because she had found an "opportunity", the girl's voice was trembling, and she urged the people outside with weakness.

Zeng Lai also wanted to save people, but if he could save people, it wouldn't be in vain: "I don't have the key, and I'm tied up."

"..." The school girl fell into silence.

After a few seconds, her voice lowered, as if she was desperate: "Did you know? He stabbed me several times, and my hands and legs were broken. If I don't leave quickly, I will definitely be killed by him."

"I don't want to die."

Zeng Lai's breathing stopped, and he realized that he had been unconscious longer than he thought.

When he was unconscious, the school girl on the other side of the door had experienced something he couldn't even imagine.

He gritted his teeth and searched for the key with his eyes.

After two minutes, Zeng Lai gave up. There was really no other way. Even if he found the bedroom key, he still didn't have the door key.

What's more, it's hard for him to stand up even if he wants to jump around. If he moves again, the probability of being discovered by the man in the construction site uniform is 100%.

And the male body at the bedroom door...

Zeng Lai didn't dare to gamble.

…

The fire on the yellow talisman in front of him continued to burn, bringing waves of warmth.

What happened later was a little blurry. It may be that his brain was consciously avoiding this experience and deliberately forgetting the details.

Zeng Lai only remembered that a little later, the man in the construction site uniform got food and opened the bedroom door without giving him a little bit of food for the hungry man.

He followed and looked inside. There was no body in the bedroom, only a girl with broken hand and hamstrings.

The girl was in a panic, with fear in her eyes.

The man in the construction site uniform did not commit any crime such as insult. Instead, he took a hammer and broke many bones in the girl's body and cracked her skull. During the entire process, the door remained open, and the underage Zeng Lai witnessed the entire process.

The school girl screamed in pain while shouting for help at him, with blood splattering and a shrill voice, just like the [Cryer] behind the door of the Rose Tunnel now.

It's not like he didn't stop it.

He persuaded, yelled, diverted the murderer's attention, and tried to break the rope, but failed miserably. When the police arrived, the girl's pupils were dilated and she was lying on the ground with her last breath.

The man in construction clothes was about to cut his body into pieces when he was pushed aside by the police who rushed in.

Just a little bit.

The school girl was obviously hopeless, but she was just a hair away. If the police had come earlier, she might not have had her skull crushed by the murderer.

And he was rescued.

The school girl's last look before she died was when she looked at him through the gap in the crowd after being surrounded by the police.

In those eyes full of pain, there was no admiration for him, only hatred.

It's like saying, OK, you survived.

But what about me? I am dead.

You can't even help me, it's not that you can't, it's that you don't dare.

The people I like are such trash.

Since then, this incident has always shadowed Zeng Lai. He no longer dared to show any gentleness to girls, because subconsciously, he always felt that girls would not encounter these things if they didn't get close to him.

If he accepts the confession.

No, not if he didn't behave in a way that would please his schoolmates.

If he had been braver and found another way while the murderer was in the kitchen...

Although none of these things were really his fault, even though he knew it in his heart.

But he still couldn't let go for a long, long time.

Zeng Lai will never say the words "dare not gamble" again.

If he could do it all over again, he would bet that he could find the key, and that he could hold on with his schoolgirl until rescue arrived.

You can bet on anything, especially life.

…

As his thoughts returned, Zeng Lai let out a slight wry smile.

It's amazing that the distraction caused by [Gamble on Corpse Control] can actually make him recall things so long ago, so clearly, as if they are right in front of him.

I was young and really couldn't do anything.

After becoming a Deducer, he has actually looked away, and the negative emotions such as regret have slowly dissipated as he has Ren Yi as a friend and works with him to make strategies.

The only thing left is the title of "Gambler", which is somewhat different from the real meaning of the persona.

When I think about that incident now, I feel a little sad.

I heard that the daughter of the man in construction uniforms committed suicide after being bullied by some girls. Therefore, after the man was decadent for a period of time, he developed mental problems and began a murderous journey.

Those killed were all innocent.

"Cough cough cough..." Zeng Lai coughed suddenly, and the cryer behind him heard his voice and started banging on the door again.

"Help me... open the door! Open the door! I don't want to die!!!!"

Zeng Lai discovered in a trance that there were not many yellow talismans left.

In a memory that can be called a scene replay, almost half an hour has passed.

We're running out of time.

Zeng Lai pursed his lips and looked through his remaining sacrifices.

He wore five sacrifices, not all of them, in order to leave a chance to get the sacrifices. Some that he thought were not needed for the time being were placed in the system.

The five items I have on my body now are [Destiny Bet] in the form of a dice, [Corpse Control Gamble] in the form of a yellow talisman, a ring that can dispel the curse of ghosts, a pair of scissors with weird functions, and one that increases concealment ability. and speed necklace.

To break the current situation, none of them can be used intuitively.

In the midst of hesitation, half an hour arrived.

The yellow talisman suddenly went out and turned into a handful of ashes, scattered in the air.

The cryer suddenly became excited, and now she was twice as angry. The door shook violently, making Zeng Lai feel that even if he didn't open the door, the door wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

"Today is just like then, very unlucky... I wish the rescue had come earlier..." Zeng Lai murmured, took out the dice, closed his eyes, and turned again.

This is his biggest hope now. If he can throw a good number, maybe everything will turn around.

However, just as the dice was thrown by him and spinning on the dirt floor, Zeng Lai suddenly felt a strange heart palpitation.

He felt that a line of sight was looking at him, and what made his hair stand on end was that this line of sight had always been there, but he suddenly noticed it for some unknown reason.

Before he thought he had provoked another ghost, there was a crisp breaking sound all around him, and air rushed into him. His thoughts suddenly became clear, and he felt as if the restraints on his body were completely released.

The dice stopped.

On the side facing upward, the red number is clearly - "6"!

The next moment, in the broken air, a small circular formation flashed away, like a miniature version of the [Abyss Blood Formation], and a hysterical voice came from inside.

But it was not the friendly and weak tone that Yi always used, but a tone that seemed to be extremely weak and full of unwillingness, but had to say something: "Fortunately, let me tell you, when you open that door, Can survive.”

At the end of the sentence, the circular formation quickly turned into blood, seeped into the soil, and became silent again.

Zeng Lai was stunned for a moment. He had not recovered from all the changes that occurred in an instant. Only the dice stopped quietly on the ground.

Six o'clock, ultimate luck.

Then Sachi appeared.

Well, I really didn’t intend to use a knife, hehe...
