Absurd deduction game

Zhou Xue's grandmother was called Liang Erni, a very common name in that era.

After her death, grandma passed on a jade necklace that she had carried with her for many years to Zhou Xue. I heard that during the most difficult period, grandma could only eat moldy cakes, and her clothes were all patched. In the end, she even bought coarse cloth to mend her clothes. I can't afford it, the place with the hole can only let the wind through, so I haven't sold this piece of jade.

Later, life found a way out. Grandma gave birth to Zhou Xue's father and did not pass the jade to him. She guarded the jade as if guarding some kind of obsession until Zhou Xue went to the ward to see her for the last time. That day, she shivered and stuffed the jade pendant that had been warmed on her chest into Zhou Xue's hand.

At that time, grandma was almost dying.

In fact, grandma's funeral was a happy one. She died of old age without any illness or disaster.

The family didn't feel much sadness, they just regarded this incident as a process that they had to go through - people will die eventually, and how lucky it is to die of old age.

That day, grandma put the jade into her hand and drove everyone away, leaving her alone, telling her in a hoarse voice.

"Axue... keep this jade. It has accompanied grandma all her life and protected her all her life. Now that grandma is leaving, her only wish is that you can be safe... this jade will also protect you."

…

Grandma said that this piece of jade can protect people.

Zhou Xue and Liu Ruru commemorated their grandma and reminisced about the past. Looking at Liu Ruru's concerned face, they subconsciously reached out and touched her heart.

The jade pendant was around her neck, and she had not left it for a day since her grandma died.

Maybe it was really Jade who protected her... so that the two terrible things in the dream couldn't hurt her?

So she must not listen to that female ghost and smash the jade into pieces.

"Is that so..." Zhao Ruru was thoughtful, and she thought for a while, "You won't go to work tomorrow, Saturday, right?"

"Rest." Zhou Xue said.

"Then let's go to the cemetery together?" Zhao Ruru suggested, "Although it's not a special holiday, I still want to buy some paper money and tell your grandma about your experience. Maybe she will bless you?"

There was a moment of hesitation in Zhou Xue's eyes.

But then, she sighed, seeming to regret that she was reduced to needing to disturb her dead grandma.

"Okay, let's meet at noon tomorrow. I hope grandma can...save me."

The sun is strong at noon, making it less likely to be scary.

Zhou Xue's appetite was still poor, and after talking to Liu Ruru for a while, she became tired.

After clearing the dishes and chopsticks together, Zhou Xue left Liu Ru's house, took out the key and entered the house.

Although she didn't want to face the bedroom, the month-long torture had allowed her to develop some resistance. At first she was terrified of the bedroom when she woke up, but now she can accept it more calmly.

Of course, Zhou Xue's reaction may be much calmer than that of ordinary people. I don't know if it's because of her personality, or because she has been exposed to her nagging grandma since she was a child, and her ability to accept these things is stronger than normal people.

Wash, check your phone, climb into bed.

It was still early before the usual time to go to bed, but she felt very tired. Fortunately, today was Friday and she didn't bring her work home, so she was very free now.

Since we have made an appointment to go to the suburban cemetery to see grandma tomorrow, it would be a good idea to rest early to refresh ourselves.

Zhou Xue closed her eyes and fell asleep.

…

Zhao Ruru put the dishes and chopsticks in the cupboard and returned them to their places, digesting the information he had found out, with no expression on his face.

She now had to think about how to contact Yu Xing. After such a long time, she believed that Yu Xing would not just stay in the corridor and wait. Maybe he would go shopping?

She didn't know who Yu Xing was, and maybe she could have access to other ways to get clues.

Taking out a black wooden chopstick that was shorter than ordinary chopsticks, Zhao Ruru whispered something in his mouth, and then let go.

The chopsticks stood there with a magical balance for two seconds before falling in her direction.

"Right here?" She was a little surprised. This hexagram meant that the person she was looking for was very close to her.

"You can't really wait in the corridor... No, it's impossible. I should have estimated the time to come back after going out."

Zhao Ruru walked to the entrance and saw the shadow of a man passing by.

With an expression that was indeed true, she opened the door and said in a low voice: "Come in -"

Huh?

no one there?

"Peng."

Suddenly, there was a dull sound of something falling to the ground in the bedroom. Zhao Ruru frowned, closed the door and came to the bedroom.

She breathed softly and gently turned the handle.

Unlike the darkness he imagined, the bedroom lights were on, and it was bright, allowing Zhao Ruru to take in everything inside.

A man was sitting in front of her desk, leaning on his chin and scrolling through his mobile phone. There was an open laptop in front of him, and the charging cable was connected to the power socket under the desk.

A delicate napkin box fell on the ground. It was hard. The sound just now should have been made by it falling from the desk.

Hearing the sound of the door, the man looked at her boredly.

"Hello!"

Zhao Ruru almost jumped up in fright. After seeing who it was, he finally couldn't help but put his hands on his hips: "You scare people and you won't stop paying them back!"

"Me? Isn't this too unfair? I'm just sitting here. Why did I scare you?" Yu Xing looked at her innocently, then curled his lips, "If you would be scared to this extent, then you also too--"

In Zhao Ruru's eyes, which were about to get angry, he still swallowed his words for the sake of harmony among his teammates.

"How did you get in?" Zhao Ruru said angrily. She didn't know why. In order to collect information from all sources, she had faced many kinds of people. No matter how much the other party deserved a beating, she could always maintain a normal attitude from the perspective of a bystander. Leave an image of the Zhao family who is at ease with others.

And when I met Yu Xing...

Her emotions are easily aroused.

Especially when the other person makes a very innocent expression after doing something bad, it really makes people feel very itchy.

It's not that she has any special thoughts about Yu Xing, she really can't control her appearance. She always pays more attention to interests than her face, and emotional control is a required course for obtaining interests.

That's why she found it strange that Yu Xing's every move seemed to have something more than others.

Could it be that the other party is someone who is more familiar with how to collect information than she is? Unknowingly, her wariness has been worn away! ?

Be confident, that’s it!

Zhao Ruru said to himself.

Yu Xing didn't know what she was thinking when she was frozen in place. He spread his hands and bent down to pick up the napkin box used to attract Zhao Ruru's attention: "I came in through the window. It's too cold outside."

Zhao Ruru was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, she said: "How much did you hear?"

Yu Xing said: "All of them."

The corners of her eyes twitched: "..."

I love you while I work hard cooking and chatting while you play with your phone across the door!

Forget it, it was reasonable for him to force him. He overheard it and saved her from repeating it again.

After comforting herself for a while, she said in a normal tone: "Okay, let's discuss it."

Yu Xing put down the phone temporarily and raised his eyes to look at her: "Okay."

"From what she said, we can conclude that she has a piece of jade, which is the focus of this mission." Zhao Ruru saw his chair being sat by Yu Xing under his buttocks, and sat on the edge of the bed in humiliation, "Grandma, this person may have Weird, more or less related to the ghost house, and Zhou Xue's danger comes from dreams, which means that it is difficult for us to effectively protect her from the outside world unless she doesn't sleep."

"It's impossible. Judging from her mental state, she hasn't had a good sleep for a long time. If she is allowed to survive for another three days..." Yu Xing considered it seriously and then concluded, "She may die suddenly."

"...You are right, and when the time comes, even forced sleep is not impossible. People can't resist the sleepiness that is too strong." Zhao Ruru touched his wrist, where there was a red strap.

Yu Xing glanced at the strap and thought it looked pretty good: "So, we have to find a way to interfere with her dream. Either we go in or pull out the ghost inside. Only when the ghost is in the same space as us can we The ability to protect Zhou Xue.”

Zhao Ruru asked: "So, what do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas, I just think it's a bit fun." Yu Xing looked at the wall in front of him with a half-smile. From here, Zhou Xue's bedroom was separated by a wall.

"You should be able to judge this kind of thing," he paused. "As for Zhou Xue's grandmother and the origin of the jade, and even the content of the dream, this Zhou Xue -"

"You lied." Zhao Ruru answered calmly.

"That's right, they were all lies." Yu Xing nodded.

Then he raised his eyebrows and praised: "Okay, it's smarter than the last one."

Zhao Ruru wanted to spit a mouthful of blood on Yu Xing's face to block his magical temperament that could make people laugh when he praised him.

"I think I need to state that although I am not good at reasoning, my judgment of people is absolutely - very accurate!"

Do you really think she is a fool?

Yu Xing didn't have the consciousness to offend anyone at all: "Oh."

[Um? Wait, why did you lie? ]

[How could they tell Zhou Xue was lying? ]

[I obviously watched it from beginning to end, but I don’t deserve to think with them]

[The absurd world is so cold, only Xing’s face can make me feel a little warm]

[Wake up, didn’t you realize it before, maybe what you saw was an illusion]

[I don’t care, life is short, enjoy yourself while you can, from now on every erotic dream I have has a face]

[…]

[Brothers are real warriors]

[No, actually I am a woman]

The barrages are distorted every day.

Yu Xing casually picked up a pen on the desk and turned it around on her fingertips: "She claimed that her grandmother gave her the jade before she died. I don't care whether this is true or not for the time being. Let's just say that the man and woman in her dream, if If it really scared her like she said...she wouldn't be so enthusiastic about the current game project."

He clearly remembered that Zhou Xue put a lot of effort into the game "Nightmare". If she was really afraid of the Ghost Bride, she would not remember more and more details in her dreams in order to copy them. Game design in progress.

"I don't know her attitude towards work, but the ghost bride is wearing a red wedding dress. If she really thinks those are two ghosts and will hurt her, she can't turn a blind eye to the strap on my wrist. ." Zhao Ruru raised her hand. Anyone who knows her well knows that this is one of her sacrifices.

This time, she deliberately took the strap out of the persona and waved it in front of Zhou Xue many times while eating.

"I am a woman, and I scared her in the stairwell, and I am wearing such a red strap that is incompatible with my clothes. People who are really scared will only think that I am possessed by the ghost bride, and she, But he didn’t show any doubt at all, it’s so fake.”

She straightened the few strands of hair that were scattered on her temples: "But no matter how much she lied or why she lied, one thing is unchangeable - she is the target we want to protect, and whether her position is right or wrong, There is nothing we can do against her. And jade should be real, and the focus of our clearance is indeed on jade... Tomorrow I will go to the cemetery with her to see the grandma, and get a set of information about jade by the way. If it doesn't work, , we may have to take action forcefully.”

"Let's take a look at the situation tonight. When she really realizes the crisis, she won't be able to help but tell the truth." Yu Xing's voice rose, with a calm teasing tone no matter how you heard it.

"Well." Zhao Ruru rubbed his face, "Speaking of which, is it really the ghost groom and Liu Xue in Zhou Xueyue's dream? How could these two appear in her dream at the same time..."

Yu Xing said: "I don't know."

In the first phase of the mission, he indirectly got to know the young master who died first through the entire supernatural space. He did not think that a ghost who wanted people to become weeping brides would create ghost alleys and ghost houses. An unbiased scene.

Either it was because of Zhou Xue's lies, or there was something wrong with the woman in the dream, or there was something wrong with the man in the dream - it was just these three possibilities. Compared to these, the one thing he wanted to know more was...

Where did Zhao Yijiu go?

Since the goal of the mission is to protect Zhou Xue, at least the deduction system will not arrange for them to have a character who cannot come into contact with Zhou Xue for too long. However, almost a day has passed, and Zhao Yjiu has not appeared around Zhou Xue.

This is unreasonable.

unless……

After dark, Zhao Yijiu could come into contact with Zhou Xue, and the duration was about the same as them.

As long as Zhao Yijiu doesn't play a thief who breaks into a house, there is almost only one possibility left.

The character he plays is not in reality, but in a dream.

Yu Xing turned his head and glanced out the dark window, with a more playful expression on his lips.

If this is the case, before they find a way to enter Zhou Xue's dreamland, they will have to trouble Brother Jiu to hold on alone for a while...

"Wait!" Zhao Ruru suddenly said, interrupting his train of thought.

He looked at Zhao Ruru and found that the other person's face was a little pale.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Ruru touched his arm, which was covered with goosebumps because of his flash of inspiration, and was a little confused: "You came in through the window, then who was the figure I saw in the corridor just now?"

Yu Xing: "?"

"What figure?"

"I was looking for you just now, and I saw a tall man's figure in the peephole... He disappeared when I opened the door. Before I had time to think about it, your carton dropped."

Zhao Ruru's pupils tightened, and he turned around dryly and asked Yu Xing: "Did I get lucky enough to escape the ghost just now?"
