Absurd deduction game

There was a suggestive and terrifying scene all around, and strange footsteps suddenly came from the stairs that were empty when I just walked past. An ordinary person who is not mentally prepared for this scene would probably be scared to tears.

Fortunately, Yu had time to turn around, and Xu Shu happened to stop behind him. His slightly shorter stature did not affect this man's temperament and sense of calmness at all. The half-mask and the dim light made this man look slightly gloomy, and his body was slightly gloomy. Thin shape.

The mask was put on Xu Shu's face as he walked over. Yu Xing glanced at the Eight Immortals table again. The mask on the table just now had turned into a very real human head. The black hair was sticky, like the knot under the wind chime. Those black patches covered most of the face with a terrifying bloated head.

If he had just been bewitched by that mysterious force and reached out to pick up this thing... Yu Xing had a hunch that he would be entangled with it for a long time.

"Your little jumping frog is dirty." Xu Shu's first words when he stood still were not a greeting or an explanation, but a glance over Yu Xing's side at the table, looking at the little jumping frog soaked with blood. Here comes a comment.

Yu Xing felt no pity at all: "No, it's your little jumping frog."

Xu Shu glanced at him and reached out to put away the head on the table. Judging from the way the head disappeared after he touched it, Yu Xing knew that the head was Xu Shu's sacrifice.

When the head disappeared, the surrounding blood fountains, bloody handprints, crazy bells, cobweb dust, and cries hidden in the wind all disappeared. The air suddenly became clear, and the small space that Fengyu Pavilion should have restored. Lou Qingfeng.

"Are you not afraid of this kind of scene, or have you guessed that this is an illusion?" Xu Shu's dark brown eyes stared at the tip of Yu Xing's nose. He didn't seem to like looking at others.

Yu Xing looked at the other person with a half-smile, and put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket: "You asked me to come here, and you greeted me with such a scary scene, and you didn't plan to explain it first? Why don't you think you are the one who should ask the question now? It’s me who is mentally wounded.”

Hearing his words, Xu Shu raised his eyes, barely observed his face, and had undisguised doubts about the "spiritual injury" in his heart.

However, he felt that what Yu Xing said made sense, so he said: "Excuse me, I asked you to come here to confirm something."

Yu Xing didn't ask what it was about: "Are you sure now?"

"No, so further confirmation is needed."

Xu Shu always seems to be like this when talking to everyone, making people feel that his attitude is serious, but neither salty nor indifferent, a bit cold and formulaic, as if his emotions have been taken away by someone.

Just like this sentence, anyone who hears it will subconsciously think along his non-threatening tone. How to confirm it?

But the fact is that before Xu Shu finished speaking, Yu Xing heard a slight sound of breaking wind coming from behind his head. With a smile in his eyes, he turned to one side and managed to avoid the arrow that was shot. It flew past while wiping my hair, and my face hurt from the wind.

With a quick glance, Yu Xing felt that the arrow was filled with black air, as if there was a ghostly face lingering on it. The next moment, the arrow was nailed to the wooden column with a "buzz" sound, and the tail of the arrow trembled and buzzed.

At the same time, it missed the target, and the ghost face on the arrow screamed and disappeared into the air.

"It's too fierce." Yu Xing rubbed his face. He didn't know whether he was talking about arrows or people. The tail of his eyes was slightly raised. Others couldn't tell whether he was angry. "As expected of a boss, the attack power of the sacrifice is very strong. But the boss Do you want to bully me, a newbie, like this?"

"..." Xu Shu did not answer, but frowned, and then quickly relaxed, "Your reaction speed is indeed not like that of a human being. The moment you dodge just now, the ghost energy in your body was very obvious. You should be An evil spirit among humans.”

"Oh?" Yu Xing's expression did not change, he looked at this person with a slight curl in the corner of his mouth.

Why do people always have to remind him that he is not a normal human being?

Immortality, automatic healing after injury, these monster-like characteristics have indeed helped him a lot in the past many years, but the alienation of thinking, negative emotions, and loss of personality that followed have also made him do many things that he regrets.

Especially when he first came out of the glassware, all he could think about was the people in white coats pointing at him, and they didn't treat him as a human being at all in their words, just treating him as something that could be experimented at will. His eyes were like those of other species, which once caused him to fall into serious self-doubt.

He will think that he has become a dirty thing and is lower than human beings.

Even though he has become much calmer about this matter now, he was still a little unhappy when he was attacked twice by sacrifices as soon as they met and was told "You are not like a human being".

Yu Xing thought to himself, this Xu Shu has really strong perception, especially he can step on thunder, and he can hit it accurately every time.

So he smiled: "What did I do to make you have this illusion?"

Xu Shu realized the darkness in his tone. He turned around and pulled out the arrow from the wall. His pale fingers had clear joints. After putting the arrow back into the mask, he said seriously:

"I noticed you last night. The aura of death on your body is so strong that it is impossible to appear on a living person. Even Xu Xianfeng can't compare with you. But...it's also very subtle, so subtle that no one else can see it. The bone-finding ruler made by Luo Yan has no response to you at all."

"But I can see it with my eyes," he pointed at himself. "In my eyes, you are like an evil ghost from hell."

Special ability... Yu Xing glanced at Xu Shu's eyes. The empty dark brown eyes were like a pair of strange-colored black holes. It was not a pool of stagnant water, but some kind of misfortune was tumbling inside.

After staring for a long time, he even felt that the color of Xu Shu's eyes was not formed naturally, but the traces left after the blood coagulated and dried.

"You can't keep your eyes open for a long time, it's easy to be trapped." Yu Xing expressed his feelings directly, then looked away and picked up the topic, "You think I am an evil ghost, and then what? You are here to deal with me. of?"

"The fact that an evil ghost can sneak into the gathering of the three major families shows that it is strong enough to blend in among humans without any mistakes." Xu Shu looked at him, "There are indeed no flaws in your expressions and movements. , can I touch your hand?"

Yu Xing: "Excuse me?"

So Xu Shu put his hand into Yu Xing's pocket without any politeness, squeezed Yu Xing's palm, and then immediately pulled it out, and said: "The skin feels the same as that of a living person, and even the temperature... you are probably better than I thought." Still strong in the middle.”

Most evil ghosts are transformed from corpses. The weakest evil ghosts have deformed bodies and are hideous and terrifying. The stronger the evil ghosts are, the closer they are to the appearance of a living person.

Only when attacking does his ferocious side show up.

Many powerful evil spirits can't tell the difference from ordinary people, but there are always flaws in details, such as body temperature, pupils, expressions, hair, and nails.

As for Yu Xing, in Xu Shu's eyes, he is probably a super scary evil ghost with no flaws in all the above.

Xu Shu's gaze paused on Yu Xing's too-white complexion: "Human beings are always at a disadvantage in front of ghosts. Even with the help of deduction rules, they can only escape and survive from ghosts under certain specific conditions. There are very few rules. You can kill ghosts. But if you are in the real world, even if you are bound by the rules, I can't deal with it."

Yu Xing: Tsk, then you still dare to come up and make me angry? Testing through illusions?

He became curious about this young man who could see the strong curse aura on his body—curses are a type of ghost, so the curse aura is also a type of ghost energy—and reminded: "I came with the Zhao family. .”

The implication is that if he is determined to be a ghost, how will the Zhao family explain it? Under the clear rule that ghosts cannot be brought to parties, you blatantly violated the contract and brought him in?

Or does Xu Shu think that no one in the entire Zhao family can figure out his ghost identity?

After Xu Shu "revealed" Yu Xing's identity, not only did he not show any hostility, but he looked vaguely happy: "I saw it. You came with Zhao Mou. I have heard of him and been in contact with him. He gave me It feels like my ambition is not small and my sense of belonging to the family is not strong. Maybe I will break the rules and bring you in for my own benefit."

"Go on?" Yu Xing simply leaned back, leaning his waist on the corner of the table, and rested lazily.

"...I won't say anything anymore." Xu Shu did not analyze it any further. His empty eyes seemed to solidify for a moment, and then he was confused for a while, "I heard that your name is Yu Xing. I have no ill intentions and don't want to offend you. You are not happy, and you will not tell others about it. I just want to get in touch with you. I have a proposal."

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, feeling that what Xu Shu said next was probably one of the other party's real reasons for asking him over.

"I am one of the few deducers with abilities similar to those of ghosts, and I am the leader among them." Xu Shuxian praised himself, but it was not a proud and complacent kind of praise. With a serious tone, he said, "I am about to be promoted to the Despair Level, and there is still one more...contracted ghost."

"I can do whatever Zhao Mou gives you. I am stronger than him, and so are my connections."

The wind blew over without warning, and the wind chimes outside the wall swayed, mixed with these words into Yu Xing's ears.

Yu Xing is familiar with the concept of contracted ghosts, because Yi Qing is one.

But now, it seems that he was invited by this young man who mistakenly thought he was a powerful evil ghost?

Kid, I suddenly think you are a bit silly.

Yu Xing wanted to get some information from Xu Shu, but the current situation was obviously not suitable for continuing the conversation. Although this person was very stupid and cute, he was also really strong. If there was a real conflict, he was equivalent to offending the Midnight Guild and the Xu family at the same time. , it will always bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

What's more, just listen to half of Xu Shu's words and throw away the other half. Unless his brain is short-circuited, it is impossible to believe everything.

He looked at Xu Shu, who was sincerely promoting himself, and tilted his head: "You guessed wrong. I'm really just a newbie. Boss, please let me go."

Xu Shu was silent, seemed to think for a moment, and then shook his head: "I haven't missed it yet when it comes to distinguishing humans from ghosts."

Yu Xing: "..." Quite confident.

He reminded: "I am also a deducer. Have you ever seen an evil ghost become a deducer?"

This time, Xu Shu was silent for a little longer. After a while, he reached out and pressed his mask: "I haven't seen it before, but I have seen it now. You are right, it was my lack of consideration. If you If you are a deducer, ordinary contracts may not have any effect on you."

Yu Xing almost wanted to applaud him.

If it's acting, it can be said that Xu Shu's acting skills are good and he is very dedicated.

If it wasn't acted, it only shows that Xu Shu is really confident in his abilities. He would rather believe that Yu Xing rejected him because he didn't want to be his contracted ghost, rather than believe that he made a mistake in judgment.

In his mind, he seemed to have never considered the possibility of admitting his mistake.

Xu Shu took a few steps back and tilted his head slightly: "Sorry, I will fight for you when I find a contract format that can accommodate this kind of rules. I offended you today, but I finally met a ghost that perfectly blends into humans. I don't want to give up."

At this point, although Yu Xing still doesn't know why he is looking for the contract format, he can guess that this should be something that only the mourning level can access. However, no matter what, he feels that it is impossible for Xu Shu to find someone who can take him. This "evil ghost" changed from a deducer to a contracted ghost.

Then let him go. He can't find it anyway. What the other party's purpose is will eventually surface as time goes by.

"If the boss insists on thinking so, I can't help it." Yu Xing sighed, "Can I leave now?"

He waved his hand and was about to leave. Xu Shu did not stop him, but picked up the little jumping frog that was not contaminated by anything on the table and sat there thinking to himself.

Yu Xing left the Fengyu Pavilion and walked into the Plum Garden, feeling the cold wind on his face, and the trace of surprise in his heart faded away.

While walking towards the winery where there were more people, he took out [Photography Dreamland] from the panel.

Before he came, he guessed that the person who asked him out might be Xu Shu, who had looked at him inexplicably for a while at the exchange meeting last night. Xu Shu had been dealing with ghosts all year round and was said to be extremely sensitive. He was worried that close contact would make him also... Qing was discovered, so he put the dagger in before setting foot near the plum garden.

"How is it?" Before Yi Qing came out, a voice that only Yu Xing could hear came from inside the dagger.

"There are a lot of doubts and suspicious motives." Yu Xing said leisurely, "It's quite interesting."

Yiqing Wenrun said: "Interesting? Let me listen too."

Yu Xing summarized what just happened in a few words, and then said with a smile: "I can't understand it... He needs a powerful evil ghost. Wouldn't it be better to find one in the deduction?"

"I live in the real world and have more involvements. As for him, he didn't check my background, let alone my exact relationship with the Zhao family. He came to me rashly, and in the end he couldn't give me a usable contract."

Several Luo family members dressed strangely came towards me. They seemed to be talking about something happy and their voices were quite loud.

Yu Xing politely avoided the situation, and waited until the person was far away before he continued: "Oh, a deduction, especially an experienced deduction that has been through many games, should always be fully prepared, not to mention that everything is impeccable."

"Xu Shu gave me the feeling that he made up such an excuse just to see me. Maybe what he said is not completely false, but this is definitely not the whole reason why he asked me over."

He climbed a few steps and turned around a place planted with thin bamboos: "Obviously, there are more important factors, which he concealed under the appearance that he didn't like to play tricks."

"Now what makes me curious is, what drives him to do this and act so stupid to make me believe him?"

Yiqing's reply made the dagger hanging on Yu Xing's waist tremble slightly: "It turns out that his arrangement didn't work at all. You still thought of what you should have thought of."

Yu Xing had already seen the winery, and there were quite a lot of people there. No matter what age group, people always have little resistance to good wine: "No, it's not completely useless. At least if he wants me to be curious about him, then He was successful at this.”

Yiqing remained quiet for two seconds: "Don't have too much contact with this person."

"Indeed, he didn't show any malice, and even wanted to befriend me because I was an 'evil ghost', but these were all superficial things, and even his motives were covered up. What his true attitude was is unknown. Maybe he is full of ill intentions toward me." Yu Xing's tone was relaxed, but the words he spoke were not so relaxed.

He had already approached the winery. If he read correctly, many Zhao family members were here, including Zhao Jiaming, who had played cards with Zhao Yingying before.

The communication with Yiqing stopped.

The deduction will begin in the next chapter, please give me a monthly ticket (˙ー˙) I beg for the brackets, you can give them as you please, don’t scold me, the brackets are completed.
