Absurd Deduction Game Chapter 175

Chapter 175 Alice Hell (8)-Dinner

This request surprised Yi Qing, and he asked: "Oh? Why?"

Yu Xing handed over the small wooden box, and Yi Qing took it with his hand, picked it up and took a look: "What are you planning?"

Yu Xing smiled and said: "It's nothing, just let it go. Wait until Zeng Lai leaves before letting him go. Don't let him see it."

Obviously, Yu Xing had his own considerations. It was not too big of a deal to watch the lively scene of the green ghost, so he reluctantly (happily) nodded in agreement until a few minutes later, Yu Xing opened the door and left with Zeng Lai. , Yi Qing just floated out from the window.

In the eyes of others, his current state is just a blurry object wrapped in a wisp of green smoke, and nothing can be seen clearly. After Yu Xing drifted out of the room, the green smoke squeezed into the closed window of the gambler Zeng Lai. In the gap, even the small wooden box was transported in as if it had no substance.

After entering, Yiqing took a look at the layout of Zeng Lai's room. This bedroom was no different from Yu Xing's bedroom. He wandered around for a while and put the box on the top of the wardrobe, which was hard to reach, at the innermost place.

At this location, even if a normal person stands on tiptoe and reaches out, they can't touch it, which is a convenience for Yi Qing as a ghost.

After putting the box away, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he wandered around the room for a while, trying to find if the gambler had left anything interesting.

The result made Yiqing very disappointed. There was not a single thing in the room that did not belong to Alice's Castle.

"Hmph... As expected, Yu Xing is the most interesting person, the others are too boring, no good." After muttering, Yi Qing left Zeng Lai's room and chased after Yu Xing.

Following the connection with [Photography Dreamland], he chased him all the way to the hall.

Yu Xing and Zeng Lai were walking, much slower than Yiqing. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he suddenly felt a breeze blowing, and a chill got into the hem of his clothes, hovering near the dagger buckled on his belt.

He knew that Yiqing was back, and with such a convenient and easy-to-use plug-in, his action plan would be much easier.

Zeng Lai seemed to feel something, and looked to the side, but found nothing, so he gave up.

After silently praising the Qinggui, Yu Xing continued what he and Zeng Lai had just finished saying: "The stairs leading to the third floor are the second one from the left. Let's go up the first one and have a look."

"I think it's okay. It doesn't make any difference which one we choose among the remaining three stairs. We just take a general look at it and don't examine it in detail." Zeng Lai agreed.

Yu Xing returned to the first area he arrived at after entering the castle. At this time, the hall on the first floor was very quiet. There was no one except them. Only the butler in a tuxedo stood by the golden clock, looking straight at the stairs. The two people who got up and down seemed unaware.

The long table was the same as before. The chairs were placed lonely in their original places. The crystal chandelier lit up just enough light to see things, making the luxurious hall not look so bright.

Zeng Lai suddenly stopped Yu Xing and said, "Hey, wait a minute, I'll talk to the housekeeper."

Butlers and nuns and tour guides are like NPCs in the game. Since they can advance the process and have their own roles, they may be able to reveal some information.

As an experienced righteous path deducer, Zeng Lai is best at finding ways to pass levels and strategies.

He came to the housekeeper in a few steps. At this time, the housekeeper finally responded, bowed slightly and said politely: "Hello, dear visitor, how can I help you?"

“Butler, I would like to ask if we can bring dinner to the room to eat?”

The housekeeper replied expressionlessly: "No, Alice doesn't like unsociable tourists, and if you do so, you will miss Alice's speech. She hates people ignoring her the most."

Yu Xing slowly followed Zeng Lai's footsteps, and then leaned against the golden clock to listen.

Zeng Lai asked again: "Then...in addition to the prescribed meal times, do we have snacks, afternoon tea, etc.?"

Butler: "No, dining is only a complimentary service for the Alice's Castle theme attraction, and afternoon tea is not included."

Zeng Lai: "If you are thirsty, can you go to the kitchen to find some water?"

Steward: "...should not be possible."

"This won't work, and that won't work either. Your amusement park service capabilities are too poor." Zeng Lai was unhappy.

Steward: “…”

Zeng Lai crossed his arms and raised his voice: "Hey, I have to give advice to your Alice, where is she?"

Yu Xing listened to the key questions with interest and looked forward to the butler's answer.

"Alice will appear in the lobby before every meal. You can give your opinion at that time." The butler said slowly and without any panic, "Or you can find Alice at night when she is wandering around the castle."

“I want to give my opinion now! Now!” Zeng Lai acted as an unreasonable guy who insisted on forcing the housekeeper to reveal Alice's residence.

There is no reason for Alice not to live in the castle. If you know her location, you can find a way to figure out her trajectory. Whether it is finding clues or avoiding Alice who is in the camp of ghosts at night, it will be much easier.

The housekeeper glanced at him, his eyes cold and chilling.

"Please understand our work. If you are dissatisfied with the service at Alice's Castle Theme Park, please provide feedback after the two-day experience. If you have a strong intention to complain at this time, you should be able to add an extra dish to dinner tonight. "

The threat in the words was self-evident. I don't know if the butler was trying to scare people or because it was the rule. If Zeng Lai asked about Alice's location again, the butler seemed to be going to attack Zeng Lai.

Zeng Lai shut up: "Then I'll give you feedback after the experience is over."

He turned around and left angrily, heading towards the first staircase on the left.

After he left, the housekeeper returned to his expressionless work state and looked at Yu Xing: "Is there anything else that can happen to this tourist? If the room facilities are damaged or injured, you can contact me."

Yu Xing stood up straight from the golden clock, waved his hand and smiled perfunctorily: "Not yet, please work harder."

After saying that, he followed Zeng Lai and left.

The staircase on the left is not long and winds upwards. It seems to lead to the second floor. After Yu Xing went up, he saw Zeng Lai waiting for him at the stairs on the second floor.

“What is the conclusion of the trial?” He stepped forward and asked casually.

Zeng Laiyi Yiyi said: "It's okay. At least we know that the staff can attack us if they are offended. Also, time and eating are strictly controlled. There must be some reason. We must pay attention to it later. ”

Yu Xing added: "Well, the tour guide said that Alice at night wears bells and belongs to the ghost camp. Let's see later how Alice's attitude towards us is at ordinary times. If the reaction is traceable, it means that this deduction should be There is a plot, not just the game content specified on the surface.”

"That's right!" Zeng Lai became more and more satisfied with Yu Xing. This logical thinking at least proved that Yu Xing had the strength and was not promoted by someone else.

He had only heard Ren Yi mention Xing before. Since Xing was obviously not on the right path and couldn't enter their guild, he didn't pay attention to it. Only after meeting him personally did he feel that Ren Yi's evaluation was not an exaggeration.

The space on the second floor is generally relatively empty, with mostly functional rooms, such as bathrooms, gyms, utility rooms, electrical control rooms, etc.

These rooms were piled up in the same corridor, which seemed a bit irregular. The two of them opened a few doors and then retreated, passing through the hall and going up two more stairs to check. The third staircase leads to the fourth floor. Directly up there is a vast library with too many books. Yu Xing is sure that there must be some key information hidden in it, but it is not within the scope of exploration for the time being.

The fourth staircase leads to the fifth floor, but the entrance to the staircase is blocked by a rusty iron door. When he pushed the door, he was reminded that the key was missing and that it could not be broken violently.

In other words, the lobby on the first floor is connected to the second, third, fourth and fifth floors at the same time. Leaving aside the fact that the door on the fifth floor cannot be opened, Yu Xing discovered that there are actually very few ways to other places on the first floor.

Until now, the only area on the first floor other than the hall that he has seen is the weird sculpture hall outside the bedroom window. The atmosphere is indescribably uncomfortable.

The first and fifth floors are the two floors that he finds strangest.

Walking back from the iron gate on the fifth floor, when we returned to the hall again, other deducers had already arrived. In fact, not long after Yu Xing and Zeng Lai arrived in the hall, other people came in one after another and did similar things to them.

At this moment, the deducers had not yet taken their seats and were wandering around in the hall. Yu Xing relieved the chest tightness caused by continuously climbing the stairs and looked towards the Admiralty Bell.

This exquisite dark gold clock is thick and gorgeous, and the hands point to 18:25.

Dinner is about to begin.

The lighting in the hall is still ambiguous, at a critical point between transparency and darkness. Things that are slightly farther away are blurred, making the deducers who know that they are in danger and absurdity feel a little uneasy.

"You are here." Zheng waved and walked over slowly, glanced at the two of them, his voice was a little melancholy, "Why didn't you take me with you to investigate? I was acting alone just now. …”

"Hahaha, I'm actually more used to acting alone. Isn't it because Xiaoxing is too new to help me?" Zeng Lai is indeed rough and yet fine, and his words are impeccable, perfectly blocking the possible demands of Hye Hou.

"Well, seniors can survive alone, so I can only hug the lap of senior gamblers." When Yu Xing said this, his face did not blush, and his heart did not beat. He wanted to be as sincere and sincere as possible.

He could only laugh twice: "Okay, I hope you, gambler, can save me when I'm in danger. Thank you very much."

Zeng Lai patted him on the shoulder: "I will definitely save him when I see him, hehe, as long as he is not his opponent."

Yu Xing always felt that Zeng Lai had an inexplicable hostility towards Zheng, and there was a faint hint that Zeng had evil intentions.

Although judging from the name, Hye does not look like a good person, the name Gambler also doesn't look like a right-line deducer, right? Judging a person by his name is not something the experienced Zeng Lai would do.

So, there must be something wrong with Zeng Lai.

There was a hint of interest in watching the excitement in Yu Xing's eyes behind the mask. No matter what attitude he had, it was almost certain that it was aimed at gamblers, and there were only two things he had to do - complete the deduction and kill Han Xinyi and Han Zhiyong.

He once asked Qu Nianqing, if someone dies in the deduction, how will it behave in reality?

Qu Nianqing's answer at the time was that he would not die immediately, but would die in a reasonable way, such as suicide or an accident, due to the fragmentation of the personality mask and all abilities disappear.

Only by letting the two murderers die in the deduction can he protect Yu Jia Ming and Gao Chang'an and prevent these two keen detectives from dying due to the unequal strength.

Thinking of this, Yu Xing shifted his gaze and looked at Han Xinyi who was in the corner.

Han Xinyi stood there alone, looking a little lonely, but Han Zhiyong actually separated from her and stood on the other side.

At this time, she was looking at a stone sculpture with a human body and a snake's tail in the hall. She kept a distance from everyone else and did not look at Yu Xing. She didn't know what she was thinking.

After Yu Xing confirmed that Han Xinyi was the murderer of the throat-cutting case and a member of Single Prism, she went to find videos related to her.

However, her information was so clean that even if she asked Qu Xianqing to check it, she could not find any useful video information. First of all, she had never uploaded any paid videos herself, and even in other people's videos, she had Just a passerby role.

These videos all have one thing in common... At the beginning, Han Xinyi always quickly finds a teammate, and then disperses with the larger force. In the end, that teammate never survives.

This is extremely consistent with the characteristics of members of Single Prism who are good at hiding themselves, but this kind of hiding harms the lives of others.

"Without me, her deduction style would have been towards pretending to be weak and deceiving others into trusting her. In the end, she would kill her teammates who had left traces of her to prevent relevant videos from leaking out. However, this time there is someone who can expose her tricks. , In order to continue not to be exposed in the eyes of others, she can only achieve this by being silent and alienated from the group." Yu Xing thought to himself, and then followed Han Xinyi's gaze to look at the stone sculpture.

This is a man with the body of a snake and a tail, with a naked upper body and lifelike scales on his lower body. The statue is the same height as a human being, except that there is a platform of about half a meter under the tail, so humans need to look up to see it.

“Please take your seats and get ready to eat.”

Just as Yu Xing's face gradually became weird, the butler walked past the golden clock, came to the dining table, and announced to the deducers who had no intention of eating because they were about to meet the legendary Alice.

Yu Xing came to his senses, took one more look at the statue, and then walked to the long table with Zeng Lai and Yi.

Others also came over. There were a total of eighteen seats on both sides of the long table, and there was a wide range of choices. No one sat near the head seat, because obviously the head seat belonged to Alice.

Alice can be considered the big boss of the game. Who would want to sit with the boss?

The same goes for Yu Xing. He chose a seat on the right and back, far away from Alice.

If it were another BOSS, he would definitely be happy to sit close to Alice and commit trouble to death, but now his identity cannot be discovered by Alice.

The gambler sat down next to him, and Yi was on the other side of the gambler, one space away.

When Yu Xing sat down, Han Xinyi smiled and sat next to him.

“Let's eat together, luckily~”

The girl's sweet voice made everyone else look over. Yu Xing tilted his head to look at her calmly and said with a smile: "Of course, this is your freedom."

At this moment, the hands of the golden clock pointed to half past eighteen and rang solemnly.

At the same time, the chandelier on the ceiling went out without warning!

The entire hall suddenly fell into a state of darkness. Yu Xing heard someone startled and couldn't help but let out a half-shriek, and then stopped immediately.

“Gululu…”

In the darkness, there was the sound of wheels rolling.
