Absurd deduction game

The candle was brought all the way to the dining table by the woman, and its white light dimmed the originally beautiful dishes.

The village chief's words struck a chord in the hearts of several people.

"In the coffin? You mean...Zhou Yongsheng is dead?" Ju Lan asked tremblingly.

"Hey, when did he die? Is there a mistake, village chief? I was in contact with him a few days ago." Carlos was not too surprised, and a test flashed in his green eyes.

The village chief looked surprised: "Is there any connection? Then I don't know. It rained heavily here a few days ago. Xiao Shengna went to play with his friends in the mountains and was accidentally buried in the mountains. Villagers It took a lot of effort to dig him out."

He was very sure, which meant that at least all the messages they had recently received from Zhou Yongsheng were from dead people.

While listening, Yu Xing glanced at the fish on the plate. The aroma of braised fish floated into his nose, arousing his appetite.

At present, it seems that Zhou Yongsheng is not an NPC that advances the plot, but a ghost.

So he lied about being a fan and tricked him into coming here. What was his purpose?

Also, Ju Lan said that her "boyfriend" and Zhou Yongsheng were classmates. So Zhou Yongsheng is definitely dead. Where is her boyfriend?

Licking his lips, Yu Xing felt extremely regretful. His pale face showed a little sadness and a hint of sympathy:

"Zhou Yongsheng is a pretty good person, quite cheerful. I didn't expect that he would encounter an accident this year. I thought that since I met him, I should come and see him off."

He followed the village chief's words and cleverly changed his purpose. Since so many people were connected to Zhou Yongsheng and the clues were all pointing to this person, he believed that the main mission should also be related to this.

It's time to get the main quest out.

"It's great for Xiao Sheng to have friends like you. You even came here to attend his funeral. I think he will be very happy to see you in the coffin." The village chief liked Yu Xing very much. This young man was so tall. She is fair, polite, and speaks nicely.

"Then, what about my...that friend who went up the mountain with Zhou Yongsheng?" Ju Lan's eyes widened.

"Those young people... were all found and dug out. However, they were not handsome. When they were dug out, many parts of their bodies were rotten. They are not good-looking. They are not good-looking." The village chief shook his head. .

Ju Lan's expression changed.

"Little girl, don't be sorry. It's a good thing you didn't come with them. Otherwise, you would be rotten now. If you are rotten, you won't look good." The woman smiled, her face shrouded in the trembling dim light.

Her words made everyone lose interest in eating. I don't know if it was because of the content of the words or the strange expression on the village chief's face when he and the woman talked about the dead person.

Even if Ju Lan, Wei Fan and Xu Hong didn't follow them to the kitchen, they were still fully aware that something was wrong. The logic of the village chief and his wife was not like normal people at all.

Is it just these two, or is it the whole village?

The rice in my hand suddenly lost its flavor.

"Eat, it's cold if you don't eat." Seeing that everyone was not moving their chopsticks, the village chief hurriedly greeted them.

You can't eat this food, in case some death conditions are triggered after eating it...

The few people who entered the kitchen thought so, and secretly exchanged glances with the other people who were unaware, secretly stopping them from eating this unknown meal.

At this moment, a pair of chopsticks stretched out from in front of their eyes and picked up a piece of scrambled eggs.

"...?"

Everyone looked over in surprise, and saw that the quiet San had stuffed a large piece of scrambled eggs into his mouth, and picked up a piece of braised fish. His cheeks were bulging, like a defenseless hamster.

"..."

Are you hungry?

Are you dying of hunger?

Xiao Xuechen frowned, and he was worried for no reason. Ju Lan was between her and San, so she stretched out her hand under the table, ignoring the surprise in Ju Lan's eyes, and tried her best to quietly pull out a bunch of lint of Yu Xing's plush clothes. .

Yu Xing was eating vigorously when he suddenly felt his clothes being tugged. He pretended he didn't know it and smiled: "This dish is really delicious. You guys should eat it too."

Xiao Xuechen took back his hand and sighed: What should I do if my teammates speak for the ghost? Waiting online, quite urgent.

However, maybe he has a sacrifice on him that can detect the authenticity of food...

With this thought in mind, she reluctantly stretched out her chopsticks, picked up the green vegetables and took a bite.

Just so-so.

With them using their chopsticks first, the rest of the deducers were dubious, and since the village chief and the woman were still watching, they all ate casually.

Yu Xing swallowed the food in his mouth and asked casually: "When is the funeral?"

The village chief slapped his thigh: "Haha, Xiao Sheng died not long ago. Today is the seventh day. The funeral will be tomorrow night. I will take you to see it then."

In one sentence, several death flags popped up one after another.

First seven, tomorrow's funeral, neither of which sounds like a safe time.

[The main mission has been triggered: attend Zhou Yongsheng’s funeral and leave Guanjiacun alive]

The main mission was clear at this time, and it was indeed no different from Yu Xing's speculation.

"We will stay and participate. So, village chief, where will we stay tonight?" Wei Fan, the oldest of the present deducers, looked at the rooms around the yard. It was obvious that there were not enough rooms for seven people.

This means that they will be separated at night.

"Sorry for bothering you these two days, we will pay for the accommodation." Xiao Xuechen followed up. She never mentioned her occupation. Although she said she was a colleague with Wei Fan, she didn't look like a female engineer.

Yu was lucky enough to observe her carefully. He guessed that this woman's role should be at the level of a boss, and her social status in reality would not be low. Her tone of voice, where she was used to being a superior, could not deceive others.

"No problem, I will arrange the accommodation! Almost every household in our village has an empty room. I will find two reliable ones for you. Oh, by the way, our family can only accommodate two people. There is an empty room inside. There are two beds!”

The village chief carried out the quality of hospitality, and then looked at Yu Xing eagerly, "Young man, you can stay in our house. I think you have a good eye and I like you very much."

"Okay." Yu Xing, who was named, smiled back and agreed happily.

"Then I also -" Carlos's eyes lit up, but he was interrupted by the woman before he could finish his words.

The woman's dark eyes were fixed on Xiao Xuechen, which made her have a bad premonition: "I look at my daughter very well, and you also live in our house, little girl."

hiss……

Xiao Xuechen bit her teeth quietly, and her heart trembled. Because she just saw the appearance of the woman's corpse, did this ghost remember her?

This tone sounded subtly sinister, like a threat?

This is almost telling her that something will happen to her tonight!

She is still not sure whether the village chief is a human being with a brain problem or a ghost, but what is certain is that San's luck is the same as hers, and it is not very good.

Being targeted by a ghost.

"But Auntie, Xiao Xuechen is a girl. Isn't it appropriate to live in the same house as a boy?" Carlos objected. His purpose seemed to be to stay at the village chief's house.

"Yes, Auntie, I'm a girl too, and I want to live with Sister Xiao." Ju Lan showed her talent as a little girl, with a tone of uneasiness after leaving home.

"Hey, there are not so many twists and turns in our village. What's wrong with the young man and the young girl sleeping in the same room, not the same bed." The woman obviously did not give up. She seemed to have spotted Xiao Xuechen. In response, Xiao Xuechen I snorted in my heart.

"Okay, I don't mind." She was stared at by women one after another, and she was a little unhappy.

Do you really think she is easy to bully?

Also, sleeping in the same room as San - eye-catching!

Yu Xing didn't mind this either, or in other words, it didn't matter who lived in the same room.

It won't affect him anyway.

Most people felt unhappy after eating this meal, but Yu Xing had a particularly good appetite.

After eating, the sky turned completely dark. Yu Xing still remembered asking before. The village chief said that after the evening passed, the villagers would come out for activities at night.

He proposed that he wanted to go out for a walk, and it just so happened that the village chief was taking them to live in other villagers' homes, so they all went out together.

Having decided where to live, he did not follow the large army, but took a seemingly casual stroll in another direction.

This village is really weird, unabashedly weird, and it almost has the word "problem" written on it.

As the night approaches, dots of white light begin to wander around the village.

The wind blew the branches of the dead trees in the village, and there was a rustling sound. Other than that, there were no insects, no animals, and no life at all.

There are only those white light spots. If you get closer, you can see some human silhouettes and hear some conversations.

Those are villagers holding white candles!

Yu Xing's collar and back felt chilly. He wandered around several villagers for a while, and the conversation he heard was basically——

Come out to enjoy the cool air?

Yes, it’s too stuffy at home. Come out and get some fresh air.

Do you know about Xiaosheng’s funeral tomorrow?

I know, I will definitely go.

Listening further, Yu Xing became interested.

"A few outsiders came to the village today, and the village chief is helping them find a place to live!"

"Hey, which family is so lucky?"

"I don't know, maybe the ones in the west of the village."

As he listened, he came up with a bold idea.

Unfortunately, before he could take action, a burst of footsteps came from behind him, and then the girl asked in a low voice, "San, what are you going to do tonight?"

"Huh?" Yu Xing turned around and saw Xiao Xuechen who was also far away from the main force.

Xiao Xuechen and he were both people who had to stay at the village chief's house tonight. They came to him at this time just to discuss countermeasures.

He looked down at her slightly: "What, do you think the village elder's wife is coming to gank you tonight?"

"...I think it's possible. She, she doesn't look at me that kindly. I think I will be the first target." Xiao Xuechen did not apply makeup on her face, her curly hair was loose, but her face was very calm. She even Not forgetting the nature of this deduction, "San, you are a painter. I don't know if you believe that there are things in this world that cannot be explained by science. Wei Gong and I...we are actually members of the Weird Event Investigation Studio."

"Oh~" Yu Xing looked at her with a half-smile.

"Maybe you don't believe this." Xiao Xuechen thought to herself that the deducer could not believe this, but for the sake of the character's logic, she still had to explain it seriously!

"Gong Wei and I came here because we were asked to investigate the strange events here. Also, as far as we know, Ju Lan's so-called boyfriend is actually an investigator, but he lost contact during the last mission. I have reason to believe that Ju Lan is our colleague." Xiao Xuechen was quite interesting. What she said was equivalent to exposing her, Wei Gong, and Ju Lan's status as "old players".

Yu Xing: "So?"

"So if you also disguised your identity and came to investigate, please help tonight..."

"Ah, I'm really just a painter." Yu Xing innocently looked at the stunned little sister in front of him, "How can I help? At most, if you are afraid, I can sleep with you in my arms?"

Sorry, the little devil in his heart is just around the corner. He really can't help but want to tease his dear teammates.
