Absurd deduction game

In the quiet environment, even the sound of the wind became very clear. Yu Xing walked back through the passage without encountering any obstacles, and returned to the prayer hall.

After a while, the female ghost had disappeared. Along with the severed limbs and the splashed blood, they all disappeared as if they had never appeared.

Yu Xing saw that the female ghost had been "refreshed" and was a little curious about where the female ghost would be now. Could it be that as long as he wasn't watching, the female ghost could refresh infinitely here and then come back with full status?

Tsk, what a shame.

He cursed verbally, took the key he had just found, and walked towards the church door. At the same time, he thought about the topic on the paper.

He already knew the first and second questions, so he shouldn't lose points. The third question was a little trap, and the number of points awarded depended on the system's preference. The only thing he wasn't sure about yet was This is the order of death for this family.

Yu Xing walked behind the gate and listened. The female ghost made no sound. Either she was far away from him, or she didn't come out. Maybe she didn't want to mess with him anymore...

Satisfied, he inserted the key into the keyhole of the door. With a slight click, the door came loose.

When he opened the door, he had already sorted out the existing clues for the third question.

This family does not include Yu Wan, that is, the three brothers and sisters and their parents, a total of five people. It is known that the mother killed the three brothers and sisters, and the father killed himself to seal the ghost. Then the three brothers and sisters died first, and the father and mother died. The order is fourth and fifth. It is not yet known who is first and who is last.

Whether his mother was already dead when his father killed him, or whether his mother was still alive when his father died, it was possible, at least it would not affect the current situation.

As for the three brothers and sisters, judging from the current development of the deduction world, Ye Ming seems to be the first to die - it doesn't matter why he died in this world. The order of death that really needs to be seen is who of the three brothers and sisters is first. Who was hacked to death by his mother, who was second, and who persisted until the end.

Judging from Ye Ting's information sheet in the spiritual world, Ye Ming was still the first one to be chased and hacked to death by a female ghost. Ye Ting also said that the "little brother who looked familiar" ran very fast, which shows that in reality Ye Qin's physical fitness is Much better than the other two. In real events, people like him are also the most likely to persist until the last death.

Yu Xing now prefers that the order of death is Ye Ming, Ye Ting, Ye Qin, father, and mother.

As for why he puts his mother's death behind his father, it's because his father himself said that his mother was his true love, and he should also love his children when he was alive.

He could use his own flesh and blood as a seal, but that would only mean killing himself. If he wanted his mother to die in front of him, it would be equivalent to him having to kill his "beloved" with his own hands. Would he really do that?

Yu Xing pushed open the door of the church. It was gray outside and he chuckled.

It's not that dad is great because of love. If he really loved his family, he wouldn't have sealed them in the small house forever, even if he sacrificed himself, in the name of not letting his fooling around and mentally ill mother hurt more. If there are many people, then he can send his wife to a mental hospital for treatment so that his children can be born soon.

He may really want to be with his family forever, but he chose such a sick and abnormal way to achieve the worst ending.

His love is not love, it is pathological possessiveness.

That is to say...

Yu Xing walked towards the endless gray fog outside the building, and finally the voice of the female ghost came from behind him. The female ghost was crying, whimpering and sad.

There was a hint of sarcasm on his lips - directed at the role of father.

He felt that when his father sealed the house, he probably did not kill his wife, but left her to fend for herself.

The mother is most likely to starve to death.

And even when life is normal, does dad really treat mom well? Judging from the few words that the female ghost brought out when she was injured just now, and the fact that the master bedroom was hung up with heavy chains, I am afraid that she has been grounded by her father for a long time, and is locked in the bedroom and is not allowed to go out.

This is the conclusion that Yu Xing came to after analyzing the character's personality based on the current clues. It may not be correct... at least Yu Xing agrees with himself.

The gray mist swallowed his figure, and he felt that his mind was slowly breaking apart. The familiar lethargy spread to his nerves. He had little room for resistance, so he was lost in the heavy fog and fell asleep.

…

When I woke up again, it was already morning.

Yu Xing felt stiff all over. Before he opened his eyes, he noticed that he was in a sitting position. There was something hard under his butt, probably a wooden board.

After his mind cleared, he knew where he was. He was sitting in his room, sitting on the wooden chair he had placed in the center of the room.

He seemed to have slept in a chair all night, and his whole body ached, especially his lower limbs, which were numb.

Yu Xing felt a prying gaze, turned his head to the side and saw Ye Ting.

Ye Ting woke up before him, sat up from the bed silently, and looked at him without blinking.

"Brother?" Ye Ting spoke first, with a bit of caution and a bit of uncertainty, and her voice sounded like a mosquito.

"It's me, I'm not crazy." Yu Xing knew that Ye Ting was probably looking to see if anything weird happened after he touched the game console last night. Whether Ye Ting wanted him to become the same as Ye Ming, or she wanted him to stay away for the time being. If something goes wrong, Yu Xing has to think that she means well.

"That's great, second brother." Ye Ting got out of bed and moved to Yu Xing's side. Recalling what happened last night, she said to Yu Xing with some worry, "Second brother, what should we do now? Go out and look for elder brother. ?”

When she said going out, she meant leaving the room.

Yu Xing nodded, his tone was very soft, and he said comfortingly: "Of course we have to go out, but according to legend, people who become ghosts will disappear during the day and we cannot find them. But we must live well. our life."

"By the way, I think we need to call the police." Yu Xing said.

He stood up under Ye Ting's gaze, moved his body, and felt a little weird.

Had he been sleeping in this chair yesterday? Why does he feel like he's forgotten something?

"Well, call the police." Ye Ting agreed, following Yu Xing toward the door, "You still have to call the school and say you won't be going today."

"You're right, my sister is indeed very powerful, and she can still be so rational at this time." Yu Xing touched Ye Ting's head and opened the door.

The corridor was in a mess, with blood being dragged everywhere. It was hard to imagine how long Ye Ming had been wandering outside last night.

Ye Ting hugged one of Yu Xing's arms with some fear. Yu Xing comforted her and then asked her to go to the bathroom to wash up first.

The little girl agreed without hesitation. She seemed to know that Ye Ming would not show up during the day, so she boldly went to the bathroom alone.

Yu Xing lowered his head and leaned against a clean wall, thinking about what happened last night.

According to his current memory, after turning off the lights in the room and letting Ye Ming leave last night, he took Ye Ting's game console and collected a lot of new information and clues in the game. After that... he went to sleep after that. ?

No, there was a period of memory that was missing. He couldn't remember when he put down the game console, then sat on a chair and fell asleep - he just looked at the game console and it was placed nicely on the bedside table. Ye Ting had obviously not gotten out of bed at that time, so it was impossible for her to take the game console away from him without being noticed by him, and then put it on the bedside table.

He must have forgotten something.

Just like what he discovered yesterday, this deduction has the ability to influence the deducer's thinking... Why did he discover it yesterday?

Okay, this kind of key thing that will be forgotten was indeed forgotten by him again in a short period of time. But with Yu Xing’s understanding of himself, he would definitely not let such a thing happen. He would definitely do it last night. What happened to remind myself today.

Or he could quickly recall the way to retrieve his memory without doing anything extra.

Then think about whether you can find abnormalities through your own movement trajectory.

Yu Xing paid attention to the movement in the bathroom while thinking silently.

And in his mind, the only way he could discover anomalies was through the data sheet in the game console - yes, the data sheet. His impression of the content on the data sheet was already blurry. Sure enough, he only had to reopen the game to take a look at the data. file, we should be able to come to the same conclusion as last night, thus remembering the forgotten things!

After thinking about this clearly, Yu Xing was not anxious at all. He waited patiently for Ye Ting to finish washing up, and then went to the bathroom himself.

Go to the toilet, brush your teeth, wash your face, and look in the mirror.

Yu Xing saw a haggard and young face.

Dark circles covered her eyes. He stretched out his hand to wipe off the blood on the mirror, then put his hand under the faucet to flush it. Then he reached his open hand into his pocket and pulled it from inside. Take out some pieces of paper.

When he went to the toilet just now, he discovered that there was something extra in his pocket, but because he was in a relatively weak state when he went to the toilet, in order to avoid uncontrollable things happening, he ignored it for the time being.

Now he took out a few pieces of paper and unfolded them. Four death notices came into view.

"Death notice?" Yu Xing murmured silently. This was obviously something outside the scope of his memory, but when he took the notice in his hand, he vaguely remembered that he was in a dark church and had a confrontation with a female ghost. Had a meal.

Did he beat the female ghost to tears?

He rubbed his temples, feeling that he didn't read the four lists carefully last night because of the lighting problem, so he had to read them carefully now.

Looking at it this way, there is an unexpected gain.

He saw the order in which the four men died.

More memories returned to his mind, and he remembered that he had obtained these pieces of paper from the secret door on the back of the statue, and also recalled everything that happened after he entered the church, but he still didn't know why he entered the church.

In short, a real-life version of the horror game allowed him to gain the most important clues. If it were any other person, unlike him who had taken away the ax to restrict the female ghost's movements, he would have opened the secret door if he wanted to, and in the female ghost's way Entering the secret door during a chase is an almost impossible task. Such difficulty is worthy of four death notices that reveal the time of death.

Yu Xing suddenly realized that there was a death notice, indicating that after her mother chopped down the three siblings, they were at least sent to the hospital. It was very possible that they did not die on the spot, but were sent to the hospital before resuscitation failed.

These lists have the time printed on them.

It was not an obvious reminder like "the patient died at such and such a time due to ineffective rescue efforts", otherwise he would have discovered it last night, but there was a difference in the printing time of these lists themselves.

Ordinary printing will not leave the printing paper generation time on it, but in this deduction, it is probably for the test paper service, and also for the deduction to find a way to enter the secret door and prove their ability as a reward. The system is designing When deducing, the printed time is left in the lower right corner of the back of the paper.

The ink stains are very light, as if they are fading to the point of disappearing, and the font is also very small. If you don't look carefully, you can miss it at a glance.

On the four pieces of paper, the first printed time is [21:03], followed by [22:41], [22:46], and [23:08].

The person who was confirmed dead at early nine o'clock in the evening was Ye Ting.

At about 10:40, the ones who died one after another within only five minutes of each other were Ye Qin and Yu Ming, and the one who died after 11:00 was Ye Ming.

Yu Xing's pupils shrank, this sequence was too deceptive.

If you hadn't gotten this piece of paper, you would have been misled by all your experiences to find the answer to Ye Ming's first death. Who would have thought that Ye Ming was the one who lasted the longest in the hospital?

Yes, the plot has been misleading the deducers.

The order of his previous reasoning was not wrong, but - that was the order in which he was chopped down by his mother. Most people would subconsciously think that if he was chopped down, he would die, but that setting actually only exists in the game!

In the real world, people lying in a pool of blood may not necessarily die on the spot. After they are sent to the hospital, they will still have to fight with death during surgery!

The order of death should be the order in which rescue efforts in the hospital failed and the vital signs were completely lost. At this point, Ye Ting, who seemed to be in poor health and could not even go to school, was the first to bear the brunt. It was the most reasonable to be the first to die.

Ye Qin and Yu Wen didn't know if they had a tacit understanding, but they both died within five minutes.

Ye Ming persisted until more than 11 o'clock in the evening.

This hole... is too big.

Yu Xing stared at these pieces of paper. He should have thought that if the murder case had not been discovered, how could there be a death notice from the hospital.

He hopes that his team members must enter the secret door. Even if Zhao Mou completes all the processes in the game console, he must find a way to lure the female ghost into the secret door. It doesn't matter even if he loses four bars of blood. He must get this The key evidence is that the third question is worth 60 points. If you answer it incorrectly, you will not even pass.

He put the death notice back in his pocket and left the bathroom.

Ye Ting was waiting for him outside. The little girl seemed to be afraid to go downstairs alone, standing helplessly in the corridor full of blood.

Yu Xing couldn't see his footprints on the ground, otherwise he could follow the footprints to know where he went last night before entering the church.

"Second brother, do you want to go downstairs and call the school?" Ye Ting pulled Yu Xing's sleeve.

"Yeah." Yu Xing nodded and walked down the stairs with Ye Ting.

They all woke up early today, earlier than usual for school. Yu Xing came to the landline and thought for a while. He didn't make the first call to the school. Instead, he counted the time and called Yu Wan, who probably hadn't left for school yet. .

The call was quickly connected, and an older woman's voice came from the other end: "Hello? Is it Xiao Ming or Xiao Qin?"

It can be seen that both Ye Ming and Ye Qin often call Yu Wan's house.

"It's me, Ye Qin. Hello, aunt." Yu Xing guessed that the person who answered the phone was Yu Wan's mother, and said hello politely.

"Xiao Qin, why are you calling so early? Are you looking for me?" The aunt opposite was very kind to Yu Xing and her tone was familiar.

Yu Xing said: "Yes, I'm looking for Yu Wan, can you let her answer the phone?"

Soon, Yu Wan was moved to the receiver.

The two knew about yesterday's agreement. Yu Xing listened to Yu Wan calling her mother away on the other end of the phone, and then asked a little nervously: "Ye Qin, what happened!"

"... Yu Wan." Yu Xing showed a hint of vulnerability and panic, took two deep breaths, and then continued, "My brother... he is dead."
