Absurd deduction game

In the next few days, the newly formed Mirror Breaking Team made no progress in any deductions. Even when the time came, Carlos purchased delay props in the mall to ensure that nothing would happen before the event started.

Carlos temporarily lived in Yu Xing's three-story empty house. During this period, everyone gathered at Zhao Yi's restaurant every day, because his house had all kinds of complete training equipment. Yu Xing acted as an instructor, bringing Zhao Mou and Carlos together. Ross practiced hard.

As for Qu Nianqing and Zhao Yijiu, these two people never relax and exercise, and they still follow their own rhythm.

Occasionally, when Zhao Mou is about to die of exhaustion, he will call an emergency stop and switch physical training to mental communication. He and Yu Xing will watch some videos of past activities and analyze them as a rest time. After his physical strength is restored, he can proceed to the next step. Round training.

Zhao Mou and Carlos participated in these trainings voluntarily. Although Carlos grunted a few times every day and asked the sky why he wanted to be tortured, he never asked for an end or lowered his demands. As you can imagine, For deducers, who have experienced so many extreme fears and dangers, their consciousness must be much stronger than ordinary people.

Just like that, at 7:50 in the morning on January 10th, they finally gathered on the familiar sofa refreshingly, waiting for the event to start at 8:00.

They all had a good sleep the night before to ensure that they were full of energy. Yu Xing looked at it for a while, smiled and encouraged: "Don't be too stressed, just treat it as if you don't do it well once, I will kill you after you come out." Yes, a trivial ordinary deduction~"

Everyone: "..."

That's really insignificant.

After waiting for ten minutes, all the deducers who signed up heard a bell ringing eight times in succession, and then felt a slight pain in their heads, symbolizing that the system had connected with them.

【Everyone has been waiting for a long time! The "Death Game at One End of the Scale" event has officially begun. What will be carried out now is the preparatory activity - the deduction test. So, all registered "candidates" are asked to get ready. Are we going to start teleporting into the examination room? 】

[In this exam, you will not receive any help or prompts from the system. Just start the exam in a completely unfamiliar environment! I wish everyone good results~]

In the system's overly enthusiastic and cheerful voice, the world in front of Yu Xing began to blur, and the tone darkened. From the living room he was familiar with at home, it transformed into a blur of shadows. The shadows gathered into shapes of different heights and heights. Just now The teammates who were still sitting next to him disappeared instantly.

Yu Xing is no stranger to this kind of experience. Every time he switches from reality to the absurd world, the system will come up with something new.

After a brief moment of settling down, he felt control over his body again, and then calmly walked towards the shadows in front of him.

Now, Yu Xing was in a dark space with no end in sight. There were many light and shadow outlines exuding a faint blood color on both sides. Yu Xing reached out and touched to confirm that these outlines could only be seen but not touched, so he raised his head and looked around.

Some of these outlines are tables, some are cabinets, and there are also seats, windows, etc. They are completely transparent and overlap each other. At first glance, they seem to be very vast, but the outlines invariably leave a path for Yu Xing to walk out, and the curves It was twisting and turning, as if telling Yu Xing - "Just go this way."

"It seems that the assessment has already started from now on." Yu Xing murmured, raising his feet and moving forward slowly along the road.

It has to be said that the phantoms on both sides of the road are very lifelike. Yu Xing even saw a large cabinet with a TV set on it and a single sock next to the TV.

He walked in this darkness for five minutes. During this period, the only source of light was the countless light and shadow outlines on both sides. As he walked, the scene that seemed particularly weird at first became ordinary.

Finally, the road comes to an end.

At the end of the road is a non-luminous stone door. The stone door is slightly opened a crack. You have to rely on the blood-colored light and shadow outline to barely see its existence. Otherwise, you may bump into it accidentally.

According to previous experience, by pushing this door open, you can leave the area equivalent to the "preparation space". Yu Xing touched the surface of the stone door. The rust stains and the lines on the door gave it a heavy feeling. The touch, the cold temperature spread from the fingertips to the whole body, making Yu Xing shiver.

He moved his hand downwards, took half a step back, and reached a position suitable for exerting force - pushing the door shut without hesitation.

The original gap in the stone gate was tightly closed by Yu Xing, leaving no space at all. The space became even quieter, and the front became a dead end. Turning back, it was the end that Yu Xing had already seen once when he came. The illusory blood shadow seemed to have imprisoned Yu Xing forever.

"The atmosphere is well rendered, I'm still looking forward to it." A strange smile appeared on Yu Xing's lips, he turned his feet and walked towards the bloody outlines next to the stone door.

There was a rectangular door—or rather, a rectangle composed of four rays of light, standing quietly behind the illusory table and chairs. This was the only door Yu Xing saw along the way. He had noticed it at the first sight. Got it.

The numerous phantoms along the way are by no means just decorations.

Yu Xing believed in his eyesight and memory. This was the only illusory door. It existed at the end, and of course it had its meaning. Presumably, the stone door was just a deception.

Yu Xing walked towards the door, passing through several rays of light and shadow along the way, until he stopped in front of the door. He reached out again... and touched the transparent door panel.

All light and shadow are distractions, only this door is real.

It was no different from what was expected. Yu Xing curled his lips in boredom. He could even directly tell what the system wanted to see in this round - it was nothing more than a test of memory, discrimination, and different levels of interference. The ability to identify unique clues.

He had no more interest in staying here, turned the circular handle composed of light and shadow, and opened the door.

Behind the door was a bloody world. Before Yu Xing entered, he smelled the strong smell of blood in the air. He raised his eyebrows and stepped in.

The selection this time is extremely strict. I am afraid that the deducers who opened the stone gate will not even have the chance to take the formal examination.

"Crash..."

At the same time as the fishy wind hit his face, Yu Xing's eardrums suddenly became clear, and the sound of gurgling water came from his ears, brisk and ethereal.

He covered himself with the disgusting wind and squinted his eyes.

The world inside the door seemed to be a pool of blood. After he came in, he stood at the edge of the square pool.

Yu Xing looked back and saw that the door had disappeared.

This is a floating platform with a stone base and a pool of blood flowing in the middle. Within the field of vision, a not too large space was wrapped in magma, but the scorching heat did not erode the platform. Only by extending your hands outside the range of the platform could you become frightened by the heat that could burn people to ashes.

The sound of water he heard came half from the flowing blood pool and half from the magma waterfall that had been weakened countless times.

Yu Xing walked to the edge of the platform, endured the heat and tried his best to look down. There was also a magma pool underground. Occasionally, small pebbles from the platform fell down, rolled in the magma, and were burned red.

This is indeed a dead end.

Yu Xing withdrew his attention from the magma and turned to the blood pool. He didn't know where the source of the blood pool was. The blood in this pool was flowing very fast.

He walked along the four sides of the pool, paying attention to the edge of the pool. Sure enough, at the other end of where he entered the world of the blood pool, there was an upright wooden sign.

The words on the sign are crooked and it says...

【Jump down】

Jump?

Where to jump?

Yu Xing looked at the blood pool and then thought about the magma under the platform.

"...Aren't you treating people like fools?" He muttered and threw the sign casually. The wooden sign knocked twice on the ground and fell to the edge of the platform, swaying with the air waves, looking precarious.

Yu Xing yawned, walked to the blood pool, and frowned in disgust.

Then, he turned around, turned his back to the blood pool, and let his body fall backwards. The moment he hit the blood pool, the rich blood first wrapped his ears, then occupied his sight and flooded his nasal cavity. .

In an instant, Yu Xing disappeared into the blood pool.

The wooden sign was finally blown out by the air waves, turned over several times in the air, and finally submerged into the hot magma without even a bubble emerging.

In this round, the reason of the deducer is tested.

——It is so obvious that the flowing pool of living blood represents room for maneuver and the possibility of tracing back to the source for survival, and magma... No matter what level of deducer, can you still hope to survive if you fall into magma?

Are you kidding me? I'm afraid he is so crazy that his self-perception is confused, and he is no longer suitable for activities that require IQ such as deduction.

Yu Xing's consciousness was in this pool of blood, calming down and preparing to face the next scene.

…

…

"Jingle Bell……"

The hurried school bell rang, and Yu Xing was drowsily asleep. Before opening his eyes, he only heard a lot of running sounds next to him, as if students in the corridor were rushing to enter the class before the teacher entered the classroom door. .

The reason why he imagined such a scene without seeing anything was because the ringtone was so classic. He heard it when he held a parent-teacher conference for Zhu Yan in junior high school and high school.

The event had just begun, and no one knew what kind of experience it would be. Yu Xing straightened up from lying down and looked around with squinted eyes.

Sure enough, it didn't surprise him. This was really a classroom. He was sitting by the window near the corridor. It was dark and it seemed to be night. There were lights on in the corridor, illuminating the interior of the classroom where the lights were not turned on. Just barely.

Yu Xing rubbed his shoulders and arms. Just now, he fell asleep on the table with his arms as pillow. It seemed as if he had slept for a long time, and his nerves and muscles were a little sore.

Only then did he notice that the clothes he was wearing had been changed into a summer high school uniform. There was a circular school badge sewn on the left collar of the white short-sleeved shirt with the four Chinese characters for "Xuechi Middle School" written on it.

The academic pool... the blood pool? Yu Xing thought.

He pulled back the association and continued to observe himself.

The pants were black knee-length shorts with white edges. The fabric felt a bit slippery and looked sporty. On his feet, he wore a pair of white sneakers. This is an outfit that is too unfamiliar to Yu Xing. Even though he thinks that he has not changed since he was twenty-three years old, he has never tried to wear the school uniform of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child.

He turned his head casually, and his shadow was reflected on the glass. That face looked younger than his own, which really fit the role of a high school student.

He was the only one in the entire classroom. The dark space was empty, filled with single wooden tables and chairs. It was a bit unclear what was written on the blackboard. Above the blackboard, there was a round clock hanging.

He couldn't see the words on the blackboard clearly. This made Yu Xing, who had good night vision, notice something. He felt it first and found that the sacrifices were really useless, not to mention the sacrifices, even the persona template. Can't open it.

The good news is that the curse power that is ready to move is still in a semi-suppressed state. After balancing his physical fitness with the body of a high school student, his abilities in all aspects have dropped a lot, approaching that of a well-trained underage boy. .

It seems that this time the system is determined to complete the purest deduction test, and for this purpose it has eliminated all factors that may affect the results.

Yu Xing was not in danger for the time being. He stood up and walked towards the front door from the very narrow aisle. He reached out and pressed the light switch. Fortunately, it seemed that there was no problem with the school's power supply. The lights turned on and the whole classroom was bright. got up.

The clock pointed to 11:28 at night, and the words on the blackboard came into Yu Xing's eyes.

[This test subject: Chinese. The exam time is from 11:30 to 4 am the next morning. The marking time is from 4:05 to 4:20 in the morning. After the marking is completed, the ranking of the candidates will be announced, and the top 100 can participate in secret activities. 】

[Examination method: There are three major questions on the test paper. Please fill in the correct answers in the answer area. 】

[Notes on the exam: ① Please use a black pen or fountain pen to answer the questions.

② Fill in your name correctly, otherwise you will be kicked out of the examination room for cheating.

③The system will be silent during this exam and will not participate in any process.

④ Bring your brain. 】

Yu Xing's eyes were filled with interest. It was said to be an exam, but it was really an exam. He actually needed a pen?

The white chalk writing was a little faded, and seeing that there were less than two minutes left before the exam, he pushed open the unlocked front door of the classroom, leaned out and took a look outside.

There was a small white sign hanging outside the classroom, labeled [High School Sophomore (4) Class]. After seeing the exact information, Yu Xing returned to his seat, sat down, and dug into the crotch of the table.

Sure enough, there is a pencil case.

He opened the pencil case, which contained a pen, a pencil, an eraser, a set of rulers, a compass and a small curriculum card.

It’s nothing special. It’s standard equipment for high school students during the monthly exam days. It’s even quite luxurious. Many people may come to the exam with two pens in hand. Things like erasers can be borrowed from the front and back desks at will.

Yu Xing's eyes scanned the curriculum. The high school courses were full, including normal language, math, English, and physics. Art, music, health education classes, and self-study classes were all marked with horizontal bars, and new "language," and "study classes" were added beside them. Mathematics, physics, English, etc., only sports survived.

So true.

Just as I was thinking about it, the second bell rang.

A small loudspeaker was installed in the upper right corner of the classroom, and cheerful bells came out from the loudspeaker. In the lonely school, only the corridors were lit with weak lights, and there was no human voice. The more the sound became more and more eerie. The bell rings.

The clock turned to 11:30 midnight, and Yu Xing was in a trance. There was a pale test paper on the table. At first glance, there was very little ink on the test paper, and the large areas were blank.

But he did not pay attention to the content of the test questions immediately because the words on the blackboard changed.

The various precautions just now slowly disappeared, replaced by spurts of blood. Holes appeared on the blackboard, and blood flowed out of the holes and the gaps around the edges.

A new line of blood words appeared, and it was covered with blood before it was formed, but Yu Xing reacted quickly and finished reading the content of the blood words.

[142 candidates were not seated at the beginning of the exam and were disqualified from taking the exam! 】

Yu Xing wanted to "tsk" and express regret for the IQ of these one hundred and forty-two people, but he did not make a sound because whispering was prohibited during the exam.

Even though there is no one here, the proctor may be anywhere.

Every loophole becomes a reason for the system to exclude them.

Yu Xing no longer pays attention to the blackboard. The blackboard is the most important before the exam. After the exam starts, there is no need to pay attention to anything except the test papers.

He first took a look at the paper, which had only eleven lines, two of which were ordinary question requirements.

1. Read the following article and fill in the answers on the line at the end of the article. There are three questions in this question, with a total score of 100. The first question is 10 points, the second question is 30 points, and the third question is 60 points.

The following is the content of the reading question. From the beginning, it seems to be a short story, and only the beginning is printed.

Article title - His family

[The hot weather was annoying. When he returned home to listen to the chirping of cicadas, the evening breeze had just become gentler. 】

[He comes from a good family, and the two-and-a-half-story single-family building carries all his memories. However, this small building is a bit old and looks a little pale. He always wonders, why doesn't Dad redecorate it? 】

At this point, the article came to an abrupt end. The only thing that was linked to the title "family" was a father who was mentioned once.

There is a large blank space below, and at the bottom, there are three questions and three horizontal lines.

【1. If you were asked to rename this novel, what kind of title would you give? (10 points)】

[2. Please find things with special symbolic meanings in the article and write down the names and corresponding meanings of the things. Find at least six. (5 points each, 30 points in total)]

[3. How should the order of death of this family be arranged? Please briefly describe your insights. (60 points)】

Obviously, the question corresponds to the complete article, not just the beginning of a few lines. After Yu Xing finished marking the paper and confirmed that nothing was missing, he began to fill in the identity information on the side of the test paper.

First is the name and class.

The correct answers are easy to find. The names are on the upper left side of the course schedule. For classes, just don’t forget to take a look before the exam starts.

——In other words, those who are still debating whether to use their real name or the name of their persona, and those who didn’t think of looking at the class, have been eliminated.

The former is too stupid, and the latter has lost its opportunity. The absence of an invigilator means that even if you raise your hands in the air and ask to go to the toilet, there are two answers: "Go" and "Hold it in". If you get up without authorization, you basically have to wear a " "Violating examination room discipline".

Yu Xing filled in his current character name, "Ye Qin", in the name column, and his class was Grade 2, Class 4. This was just a small exam, there was no answer sheet, and naturally there was no admission ticket number to fill in.

The moment he finished writing the message, new ink began to flow under the beginning of the article on the scroll, but the words were messy and could not form any feedback in Yu Xing's brain. In short, they were incomprehensible.

Can't understand a word.

Yu Xing was not in a hurry. The exam was just a formality. If he was exposed to dangers that could lead to death, of course he still had to immerse himself in the simulation.

Sure enough, when the ink filled the blanks, his mind began to feel drowsy, and a wave of sleepiness came over him. He thought for a while, sleeping in the examination room did not violate discipline, and at most he would get a look from the invigilator, so he lay down with peace of mind. Let sleep consume you.
