Absurd deduction game

When all the deducers stood at the door of the castle, listened to the nun's words, and pressed their fingers on the rose thorns to complete the purpose of checking tickets, the "sin" had quietly been sucked by the rose along with the blood flowing out, and became Alice's ancient form. part of the fort.

Yu Xing's tone was normal, and he raised his hand to push aside the obstructing hair: "Is that so? Mr. Butler."

The butler's eyes moved as he listened to the tourists in front of him and continued: "The nun tour guide is assigned to do such an important thing, and you are only responsible for part of the meaningless logistics work. It is already clear who Alice is leaning towards. As a As someone who has dealt with Alice twice, I feel that my judgment in this regard is not wrong.”

Alice's leisure must be repaid, he has learned this before.

Although I don’t know when this tourist has seen Alice before, the butler has obviously been persuaded. His straight posture seems to be a little loose. At first glance, he still looks solemn, but if you look at the details, you can find that he is In front of Yu Xing, he had already relaxed a little: "You are right, I am the only one in the castle who still has the consciousness to resist."

Hearing this expected answer, Yu Xing smiled. His eyes were dark, darker than the distance that was not illuminated by the fire. His tone was much softer, as if with a hint of confusion: "Of course, Since Mr. Butler has not expressed dissatisfaction with his status, it means that what you want to resist is not Alice's lack of attention to you, but something else."

"If my guess is correct, you, the tour guide and the chef, were all tourists before, right? You failed, but because of certain qualities, you were left behind by Alice after your death and became part of this castle. , can’t leave anymore.”

"Mr. Butler hasn't seen the sun for a long, long time."

The butler was silent.

"Because I am already dead, I cannot leave. I can only pretend to be an obedient servant and watch Alice Castle welcome batch after batch of sinful tourists, and then watch them die or escape. , and you will always have to stand by the golden bell in the hall, bowing to these strangers whose lives are at stake." Yu Xing sighed as he spoke, seeming to feel sympathy and pity, "This way Mr. Butler, you don’t want to live any longer, do you?”

"Yes." The butler said calmly, "If every tourist is as smart as you and can mobilize the impulse in people's hearts, perhaps, liberation or destruction, no matter which ending, will be closer to me, no matter what, it will be closer to me. It’s worse than the current situation where I can’t see the light.”

"Haha." Although the matter discussed was very serious, Yu Xing laughed out loud, attracting an unclear glance from the butler.

He shook the fire fold gently, as if he was thinking: "Normally, we tourists have survived for two days. We deserve to die, we deserve to be injured, and who of the rest can get out alive? It probably depends on luck and strength." Things. But... now that I know the hidden situation, I don’t want to play step-by-step, what do you think?"

"What do you want?" the housekeeper said, as if he didn't realize that his thoughts had been taken away by Yu Xing.

Or perhaps, the butler who has read countless people has noticed this, but is willing to be given a little hope by Yu Xing.

Yu Xing's eyes were raised, and there was a bit of aggression in his calmness. It was impossible to ignore every word that came out of his mouth: "Alice's own existence also depends on it, right? Butler, I want to completely end Alice's hell. Not this visit, but the end.”

The steward's stagnant eyes finally changed. He looked at the "arrogant" young man with hope in his eyes.

"You know how to destroy this place?"

Obviously, the butler, who hides his consciousness as an obedient servant, does not know how to destroy the castle or destroy Alice.

"Absolutely." Yu Xing raised his eyelids and recalled all the information about Alice Hell so far in his mind, "Rose is the medium for creating ghosts, but the ghosts in the castle are not only the corresponding ones of our eight deducers, but also more There is only one, and that is Alice herself.”

"In that case...does this mean that Alice, as a ghost, is also restricted by roses?"

In the Aliceland version, Alice does not have the elements of roses around her, and at the same time, she will not turn into her true form as a ghost to kill tourists. On the contrary, she is the rule maker and a fair guide.

As she said at the time, Alice is a tourist's best friend.

She did indeed send the tourists back who had finished their tour.

Because her appearance reflected a murder case in reality, and the purpose of her existence at that time was to lead the participants to find the real culprit in the case.

No matter how you look at it, Alice at that time can be called "just" compared to Alice now.

What caused her to undergo a depraved change? Obviously, whatever is extra is what is.

"Haha...the rose stained with our blood is in that separate space, right? I'm going to go down and dig up the rose."

Yu Xing stretched out his hand to the old housekeeper who listened attentively: "Butler, please cooperate. I will destroy this place to free you, but you have to be responsible and provide me with some conveniences."

…

The so-called convenience is actually information.

Yu Xing had long been curious about the fifth floor that was incompatible with other floors in the castle. Why was it that while other places were splendid and luxurious with Alice's aesthetics, only the fifth floor was so old and locked in many places, as if As if abandoned.

Moreover, the fragments of his books were all found in the bedrooms on both sides of the corridor on the fifth floor. Obviously, at some time before, the fifth floor was the accommodation provided for tourists.

What happened that caused the bedroom to be moved to the third floor?

Even the black hole leading to the Rose Tunnel is on the fifth floor.

Apparently, there is a story on the fifth floor.

His doubts were all cleared up after the old housekeeper agreed to cooperate.

"The fifth floor was abandoned... The chef and nuns hadn't arrived at that time, and Alice had just built the castle not long ago." The old housekeeper told Yu Xing a story in a voice as emotionless as artificial intelligence, "Alice herself is a powerful ghost, but she is not very powerful. She can only do some entertainment projects that destroy the bodies of tourists to punish sins."

To put it bluntly, it is corporal punishment.

The jumping machine that pierces tourists' arms, the doll with a human head that bites tourists, and the rotating coffee cup that almost burns tourists... are all vivid in Yu Xing's mind.

"I actually followed Alice before the castle was built. At that time, Alice's usual body was still a two-meter-tall robotic doll. She only had me as a servant. After leaving me behind, she treated me very much. Dependence." The old butler talked about those days without any nostalgia. It seemed that his desire to leave did not come after the castle was built.

His lake blue suit was a little wrinkled. The old butler first subconsciously stretched out his hand to straighten it, and then realized that his habit of being a "housekeeper's servant" had penetrated deep into his bones. He couldn't help but put down his hands in frustration: "Then one day, a self-proclaimed great wizard A man came to the paradise and gave Alice a rose seed. The man was covered in a black robe, and his face couldn’t be seen clearly. His voice sounded like a man, but I didn’t know if he was human.”

"He told Alice that if she wanted to get rid of that false machine body, she would sell the ghost's soul to this seed, and then put it in the soil, so that it could sprout and grow under the watering of blood and sin. This flower In full bloom, that’s when Alice takes on a beautiful human body.”

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, recalling Alice before dinner. At that time, she was no different from other people.

Does it mean the flowers are in full bloom? That matched perfectly with the rose that the nun tour guide was holding carefully at the beginning.

But...the great wizard whose name suddenly appeared...

His nerves are very sharp. I wonder if it is a coincidence. When he hears keywords such as wizard, flower, and instigation, he thinks of the wizard who finally escaped in the deduction of the nightmare in the cage.

The methods seem somewhat similar, but the difference is that the wizard who instigated the Brown family is definitely not as strong as the one who induced Alice.

Will there be any connection?

"Then what?" While listening to the story, Yu Xing would not only think to himself, but also sit on the cabinet and act as a compliment from time to time.

"With that flower, Alice's abilities began to become stronger. Every night after ten o'clock, she would lose her mind and attack everything she saw...excluding me. She built the castle, initially, to inspire tourists. Out of fear, she forced tourists to kill each other and lived with them on the fifth floor. The effect was indeed great. In a short period of time, her rose fully bloomed and she mastered the power of evil manifestation. She changed, He has fallen to the side of sin and has completely forgotten that what he did was originally to let people learn to atone for their sins. It was at that stage..." The butler paused and glanced at Yu Xing, "Which time was it specifically? , I don’t remember either, here comes a tourist who is as smart and bold as you, and doesn’t play by the rules.”

Mentioning the tourist, the housekeeper seemed a little sad: "That was a young man wearing gold-rimmed round glasses, who called himself Shen in front of other tourists. Speaking of which, his appearance is amazing. I still remember it clearly. In short, in The first night he pushed me away and went to Alice's bedroom and lit a fire."

ignition?

Yu Xing became interested. Ever since he entered the castle, he could see small details left by burning everywhere. He originally thought that these traces were a problem caused by Alice herself, but he didn't expect...there are tourists so reckless?

"Alice is a burnt ghost, and she hates fire extremely. Once the fire went down, I don't know what method the tourist used to make the fire spread extremely fast, and the entire floor was burned. In The passage under Alice's bed was also discovered. The tourist jumped down. If Alice could not still sense the state of the rose after losing her mind, Shen would have almost destroyed the rose. Well, I didn't think about it before, After hearing what you said today, I realized that Shen Zeng could almost destroy the entire castle."

The housekeeper said and sighed imperceptibly: "That time, the tourists suffered very few casualties, but Alice's vitality was seriously injured. After that, she abandoned the passages on the fifth and fifth floors, and changed the third floor to The bedroom provided to tourists was built in an auxiliary building next to the main building of the castle as a residence for herself and me. However, she had already noticed that I deliberately cooperated with the tourist to be separated and set fire to the tourist. Opportunities, the reliance on me has gone way down.”

"Afterwards, she recruited new tour guides, and with her ability to visualize evil, she changed the tour program, which is the rules you heard today."

"Aha, my companions and I have already been to the passage on the fifth floor. Unfortunately, due to the limit on the number of people, I couldn't go down." Yu Xing thought about the way Zeng Lai fell down, and felt a little want to laugh for a moment.

Although it fell under extreme bad luck, now it seems that after the swing to six o'clock, the meaning of falling has become better.

Zeng Lai is now the person closest to Rose.

There was also a tourist named Shen by the butler. Yu Xing guessed that this might also be a deducer.

The reason why it is only possible is because according to the butler's tone, Alice Castle has welcomed many groups of tourists. However, if there is such a special deduction game that can be entered repeatedly, it is impossible that there will be no rumors at all among the deduction players. It has been circulated among people, and it is even more impossible that there is not a single related video.

Therefore, the previous tourists may just be "people" in the setting and may not actually exist.

But Shen's actions are not like what an ordinary person can do. Perhaps, among so many groups of ordinary tourists, there are also one or two deducers joining in.

really interesting.

No...wait...

Before the corners of his mouth could curl up, Yu Xing suddenly thought for a moment.

A small detail was remembered by him, and he immediately turned to the housekeeper to confirm: "You just said that even if she loses her mind, Alice can detect the changes in the rose?"

The butler paused: "Yes."

Yu Xing: "..." Zeng Lai is down there!

What if Zeng Lai is accidentally sensed by Alice and Alice enters the Rose Tunnel to catch Zeng Lai? He has long seen that Zeng Lai is not the kind of deduction that is particularly good at fighting.

The annoying thing is that he has no way to inform Zeng Lai to be careful.

"Butler." His voice was so calm that the butler thought that Yu Xing's nervousness at that moment when he asked the question was just an illusion.

"You said it." Now that the conversation was over, the housekeeper decided to help him to the end and strive for his own relief.

"When Alice lived on the fifth floor, she opened a passage under her bed, which was later abandoned." Yu Xing's dark eyes stared at the energetic white-haired old man, "Then, can I reasonably guess that now In Alice’s residence in the annex building, is there another entrance under the bed where she sleeps?”

The butler nodded in agreement: "Very smart, yes."

Yu Xing picked up the hemp rope and tied it around his hands, then stretched out his hand and said, "Take me there. The passage on the fifth floor is used by my companion, so I can only find a new passage."

"Go directly?" The butler hesitated, "In fact, if you get the props corresponding to a certain evil, you can temporarily weaken Alice's strength and speed when facing you. The more props you collect, the better you will survive. The more likely it is that..."

"Ah, actually." Yu Xing directly put one end of the rope into the butler's hand, insisting on making a show.

"Actually, I'm quite strong."

The housekeeper took the rope and didn't quite understand what level of strength Yu Xing meant.

Yu Xing then added: "Even if I don't have any props, Alice can't kill me."

housekeeper:"……"

"So, I won't look for any props. Please lead me to Alice's bedroom. If I'm late, my companions may get into some trouble."
