Absurd deduction game

The sky above Deadly Silent Island is surrounded by gray clouds and fog all year round. Although on the surface it is a little better than the darkness in Wuguang Town, it is only on the surface. To be honest, this isolated island on the sea has also been abandoned by the sun and will never have light.

Buildings belonging to the past era are scattered like tree shadows on the devastated land. They are thick and ancient. While people can't help but immerse themselves in the decayed history of this island, they also have a strong feeling for this once gorgeous island. dizziness.

This is probably the circus and the European palace, uniquely gorgeous and grotesque.

"What is this..." After walking all the way from the ruins on the outskirts of the city, the deducers finally arrived at the place they had overlooked after another twenty minutes.

The smell of dilapidation mixed in the wind hit my face, and the dust stuck tightly to other things due to moisture, but the smell of mold still dispersed with the air, permeating the tip of everyone's nose.

A two-story building with sharp corners blocked their way. The building was long and narrow, gray-red in color, and the bricks were stacked perfectly, like a beautiful work of art.

It would be better if a large piece of the sharp corner on the second floor did not collapse due to decay.

When they approached the first house in excitement and vigilance, they did not expect it to be so long. When they came to the door of the building, the building could no longer see the boundary from both sides, like a city wall, surrounding more The inner cityscape blocks out the back.

"I can't see what it is..." The extraditer tightened the steel bar in his hand and asked hesitantly, "Border wall?"

The direction they came from was obviously not the city gate. They didn't know whether it was north of the city, south of the city, or west of the city. No matter which side they came from, they were likely to encounter buildings and walls that defended the city.

Theoretically this is the case.

The others were silent. Apparently, they didn't think the building in front of them had anything to do with the city wall. It looked too fragile and not very high. They could see the tall buildings and spires behind them if they stepped back a little.

Using toys as a defense may be a sign of mental illness.

"Twenty minutes away from here is a mountain. When there are still people in this city, will there be a need to build a city wall?" Dai Yuefu frowned and communicated in a suppressed voice.

"Actually, there is no need for a city wall in this city. Isn't it just an island? According to the theory of attack and defense, a city built in a basin is easy to attack and difficult to defend. This is a mistake in itself. When the tide rises outside, the city can be destroyed without doing anything. Flooded." Tan Lin, a member of the Sanren who stayed with Hourglass and others at the beginning, loosened his sticky collar and muttered: "This place cannot be viewed with common sense."

"Yes." Dai Yuefu nodded.

Learning from the lesson that sound in a secret room makes the ghost under the bed more excited, their conversations become quieter the closer they get to the city.

"But there's a benefit! If there's only one building blocking the road, our notebook... would be right here." Huang Bai looked at everyone happily, "Go in and take a look?"

"Well, we have to go in to investigate anyway. We have nothing. There will be no worse situation. Instead of worrying about it outside, it is better to go in directly." Wen Qinghuai covered Huang Bai's mouth and told her not to be in the dark when everyone was busy. When he was nervous, he smiled to attract hatred, and then glanced at everyone.

Everyone is experienced and naturally knows that hesitation at this time has no effect. After Sha and Fei Jing both nodded, Wen Qinghuai turned his eyes to the old acquaintance at the back and said, "Zeng Lai, Xing, what do you think?" ?”

Yu Xingzheng was leaning on Zhao Mou helplessly, chatting quietly with Zeng Lai by the way, and was suddenly called on, just like the classmate in the last row who was called out by the teacher to answer a question after talking nonsense in class: "...I choose C."

Wen Qinghuai: "...it seems you have no objection."

Zeng Lai waved his hand: "You have explained the truth clearly, and that's it."

As a result, nineteen people muttered in front of the building for a while, and finally decided to enter the building with unknown attributes.

The door of the building is unremarkable, just a wooden room door. There are some strange graffiti on the door, and some notices composed of still incomprehensible words are blurred, just like everywhere in the early 21st century. It can be seen that it was later banned by city appearance construction and moved to small advertisements inside the community.

There was a wind chime hanging on the door. The extraditer who stepped forward to take the lead carefully held the wind chime, and then Qu Nianqing turned the door handle with an indifferent expression.

"squeak--"

There was a rusty sound when the door opened, and everyone immediately felt a chill running down their spines and looked around.

Fortunately, nothing happened this time. What greeted them was the darkness behind the door.

The extraditer carefully followed Qu Nianqing's push through the door, holding on to the wind chime. It wasn't until the door was fully opened that he breathed a sigh of relief, sweating profusely, and looked around the room.

Through the faint light, he saw that it seemed to be a hall, beautifully decorated, and exuding an exquisiteness that could make people relax.

But it was still too dark, and I didn’t know if there was anything hidden in the dark.

Just as I was thinking about it, a strange sound came from the house, a crunching sound that made my teeth ache. Although the sound was not loud, it was very regular and tended to get louder gradually.

When almost everyone was tense, a sickly and weak voice came from behind:

"Ah, it's the nostalgic sound of a rocking chair." Yu Xingxu looked at the hall where he couldn't see the exact appearance, "I really want to sit there."

Zhao Mou suspected that his arms were too unfair to Yu Xing. After all, he couldn't lie down and let Yu Xing use him as a sofa.

"Ha ha……"

Suddenly, two elderly laughs came from the darkness of the hall, and then, as if some switch was turned on, the whole hall suddenly lit up.

Several mahogany cabinets were placed against the wall, with rows of cork wine on them, which became the best embellishment of the entire room. In the center of the hall, there was a complete set of large goose-yellow sofas and heavy long tables, with several tables scattered around. the other side.

There was no fire in the fireplace, and a red velvet carpet that looked very expensive at first glance was spread on the floor, with very artistic patterns. There were several oil paintings hanging on the walls, including landscapes and a woman with a not-so-good figure. I don't know which lady asked the artist to paint her portrait, but there is also a confusing time and space where the content cannot be seen.

These things are very new - like someone is wiping them down every day.

But this was not the focus of everyone's attention, because the rocking chair Yu Xing mentioned was right next to the fireplace, and it still made a creaking sound as it rocked.

There was an old woman sitting there.

"Eyes have grown mouths,

“Little Rosie the bread buyer didn’t say anything…

"Mr. Carlodie dragged the sack,

"Drop the body to the rich man's house~"

The old woman faced them sideways, humming a song that sounded very dark at first glance.

From the perspective of the deducer, only the old woman's shrunken height, bloated figure, and silver-white hair can be seen.

The old woman was wearing a black dress and an emerald necklace around her neck. Her little feet were on the lower side of the rocking chair, and her leather shoes were dull.

Her withered hand stretched out from the wide cuff and rested on the armrest. The skin folds of the elderly made this hand look shrunk a lot, and dark spots were faintly visible between the folds.

There was a very warm-looking small blanket placed on the armrest, but this did not make the performers feel warm. The smell of death wafted in the air... It was extremely horrifying to match the tune squeezed out of the old woman's throat.

"There are so many people..." Finally, the old woman had finished humming and turned her attention to the people at the door.

Yu Xing almost fell asleep after hearing this and yawned.

At this moment, the old woman seemed to notice that someone was disapproving of her and slowly turned her head.

That's a... face.

White, flat.

A face without features.

"...!" The extraditer was startled at first, and swallowed his voice, complaining that it was really miserable for him to come to work with the president and vice president.

He has to do everything in front, and he has to face the shameless old woman, ugh... He really wants to be like that boring gourd from Zhou Xing, standing behind every time!

"Old lady, have we disturbed you?" Fortunately, his vice-president did not let him cry in his heart for too long. Xu Huan, as the Xu family member who has dealt with ghosts the most, should stand up and negotiate with this old woman at this time.

Although his voice does not carry much emotion and the timbre is relatively underworld, ghosts will not care about these, after all, they themselves have this virtue.

"No...no..." The faceless old woman looked in their direction, and she didn't know where the sharp, malicious voice came from. She answered no twice in a row, and then laughed softly, "I just like fresh people like you...I mean, young people..."

Everyone: "..."

I heard it, where are the fresh people.

Yu Xing felt that although the old woman was talking to Xu Huan, the place where her eyes should be was facing him.

Sure enough, does this old woman mind if he doesn't listen to the music well?

Xu Huan said: "Excuse me, old lady, where is this place? We accidentally got lost."

The old woman coughed twice with her smooth face: "Hey... I thought you came here specially... This is a hotel..."

hostel!

Everyone's eyes lit up.

What is a hotel? A hotel is new clothes, hot water, and a bed!

Of course, this old woman's malice was just as perfunctory as Xu Huan's tone, and she didn't hide it at all.

"Look at you...why don't you come in and talk? You're exhausted, young people." The old woman didn't get off her rocking chair, which disappointed Yu Xing who was coveting the chair, but everyone didn't move for a while. Their minds have automatically replaced young people with "fresh people".

"If this is a hotel... we want to live in it, but as you can see, we are all refugees and have no money." Xu Huan said.

As long as they are dressed as a group of people, anyone with a brain would not speculate on other possibilities besides shipwreck. There is really no way to disguise their origins, such as the Traveler Organization, so Xu Huan does not intend to lie about this matter.

"I know, I know... Come in, come in children, I will give you conditions you can afford." The old woman started shaking again, raising her little feet. After hearing this, everyone entered with doubts on their faces. I ended up in this "hotel" where I didn't know the details.

They have no other choice.

If this was a trap, the worst they could do was break down the door with steel bars and then take a detour to find another way out.

Even so, when everyone walked in and the door closed behind them with a bang, and the wind chimes on the door kept ringing, they still broke out in a cold sweat and were as alert as hedgehogs. Looking around.

Yu Xing stopped at the end of the line with the support of Zhao Mou. Zhao Mou whispered to him: "The body spots are very obvious. I wonder if she can't leave the chair..."

"Yes." Yu Xingming knew that the old woman was "looking" at him, but still replied firmly, "I must, I still want to sit."

Zhao Mou: "...Don't mess around. Don't throw this ghost out. This is the first ghost we have encountered that can communicate. It is probably an NPC. I want to get information, so don't Let me fix it."

Yu Xing paused suspiciously for a few seconds, and then replied vaguely: "Okay."

Carlos, who sneaked up to the two of them and eavesdropped with all his strength: "..." Good guy, Zhao Mou is really the savior of the broken mirror!

The sand on the other side glanced at them without any trace.

"If we want to live here, what do we need to pay?" After confirming that the old lady can communicate, the person responsible for speaking became Wen Qinghuai. He is older than Zhao Mou, and Zhao Mou seems to have to take care of the useless captain. , so Wen Qinghuai became the person in this group who was the best at balancing calculation and flattery, "Besides, what services can this hotel provide? We only saw you. I don't know if there are others in the hotel." As for the employees, our daily life... you know, we urgently need a place to rest and eat. Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't asked you what your name is? "

After hearing this, the old woman slowly raised her withered hand.

Then, he started groping around on his body.

She muttered: "Where is my business manual... I have written the answers to these questions in the business manual, why... it's missing..."

"Um...I'm Daisy, business manual..."

With her sharp eyes, she squinted and observed for a while, then kindly reminded the faceless old woman, and changed her address to the current era: "Mrs. Daisy, the business manual may be sitting under your butt."

For a moment, I didn't know whether this was polite or rude.

Wen Qinghuai took a step forward calmly, blocking the back of Huang Bai who never acted according to common sense.

Faceless Granny Daisy was stunned for a moment, then she put her hand under her butt and touched it, then raised her little body slightly, and with another tug, she pulled out a somewhat worn thick leather book.

"Yes, here, thank you, good girl..." Mrs. Daisy said with an uncomfortable drawl, every word was like a flame that would be extinguished at any time.

Then, she held up the business brochure, and her voice suddenly became full of malice: "Then, who will take it away?"

It sounds like taking the business manual away from her would be a very dangerous move.

No one spoke, everyone's eyes were secretly communicating. In fact, most people were expecting Qu Xianqing to take the initiative like in the secret room. After seeing her skills, everyone knew that even if there was no sacrifice, her The physical quality is still too strong to be human.

But Qu Xianqing is not a person who is willing to help others and contribute to the collective.

No one dared to speak to her, except Yu Xing. The problem was that no one dared to speak to Yu Xing.

Grandma Daisy waited for a while, seeming a little impatient. She sighed, put the manual on her belly, and started shaking again.

"It's up to you, young man." In the eyes of everyone with mixed emotions, Grandma Daisy pointed her finger in one direction. After elimination, it was Yu Xing who looked sick.

Yu Xing had expected it.

Tsk, I was staring at him from the beginning, but now I don’t choose him, which is unexpected.

Qu Xianqing is not afraid of this old woman. Although her current ability may not be enough to deal with ghosts head-on, it does not prevent her from being powerful. She said coldly: "No, I'll get it."

Grandma Daisi's face without facial features finally changed its direction, "looking" at Qu Xianqing, and then said with a sinister smile: "Little girl, you must learn to be quiet when you are not allowed to do things..."

Qu Nianqing didn't feel anything, only a light touch in his mouth.

her tongue...

falling down.

A small piece of soft flesh fell onto the red velvet carpet, staining it.

Everyone's eyes trembled, Sha Momo hid behind Xu Huan, Bai Xiaobing covered her mouth in fear, the men either gritted their teeth to prevent themselves from screaming out because of this shocking scene, or a chill spread from beginning to end, making their hands and feet Chill.

Zhao Mou held Yu Xing's hand tightly, then pushed up his glasses, the smile disappeared from his eyes, as cold as if Zhao Yijing was possessed by it. He let go of his hand and planned to step forward, at least to bring Qu Nianqing to the back.

But before he could move, he was pinned down by Yu Xing.

Zhao Mou certainly didn't think that Yu Xing would swallow his anger. Yu Xing's concern for Qu Nianqing was definitely the most deep-rooted. He turned his head and met Yu Xing's gloomy gaze.

There is murderous intent.

Zhao Mou thought, if Yu Xing still decided to throw this ghost thing out, it would not be impossible.

It's a pity that they are too weak now, otherwise it would be better to cut off the faceless ghost's skin and throw it away. If it causes trouble - this is almost certain, he is also there.

Isn't his duty to properly resolve the troubles caused by the captain and team members?

Seeing this scene, the calmest person was probably Qu Xianqing herself. She glanced at the tongue on the ground without emotion and then stared at Granny Daisy.

It doesn’t hurt anyway.

Moreover, as long as Yu Xing or Carlos, or Zhao Yijiao, who doesn't know when he will come back, can find a little bit of ability, her body can recover and grow a new tongue.

not to mention……

"I can't learn unless I die. So, do you have the right to kill me now?" Qu Nianqing, who had no tongue, continued to speak in front of everyone's horrified eyes. No one knew how she could still speak - Grandma Daisi, who has no mouth but can talk, and Qu Xianqing, who has no tongue but can talk, who is scarier?

Grandma Daisy was obviously taken aback. She patted her heart with her little hand and scolded: "Why are you, a little girl, so scary..."

"You can come and get it, then..."

She compromised. Just as Qu Xianqing was about to step forward, he found Yu Xing dragging his steps to the front.

Grandma Daisi immediately turned her attention back to Yu Xing. She didn't know why she was so interested in Yu Xing. This was definitely not something that could be triggered by a yawn.

"So you want me to get the manual, huh?" Yu Xing's tone was obviously wrong. His pale face and dark and slightly long black hair suddenly became strangely aggressive. Soon, Yu Xing came to Grandma Daisi. In front of her, very close to her, she could reach out and take the manual away.

But he didn't stop, and took another step closer until the corner of his clothes touched the rocking chair. He stretched out his hand and pressed the rocking chair to stop.

From this angle, Yu Xing lowered his head, but Grandma Daisy had to try her best to raise her face to "look" at him.

"This is your choice, dear Granny Daisy." Yu Xing's dark pupils reflected the face without facial features. He bit the word "dear" very hard, but everyone with ears felt that they heard What came to mind were the words "You are going to die".

"Yes, young man." Grandma Daisy patted the manual on her belly. As a ghost, she was not frightened by mere humans. No matter whether the person was mentally ill or crazy, it was the same to her. She took it with her The joy of money, "Here it is, take it."

Yu Xing turned his back to everyone, with a sick smile on his face.
