Absurd Deduction Game Chapter 304

Chapter 304 Blood drops in the middle of the night

There were twelve people in the whole team when they entered the mountain, but now there are only nine left.

Brother Sun meant to rest and bandage on the spot while waiting for others, and everyone did exactly that. Unfortunately, more than half an hour later, the rain stopped, and Ci Tou and Shijiu still didn't come back.

"...This mountain is more evil than I thought. Boss, should we go back first and make more preparations before coming back?" Yin Zi was somewhat repelled. Finley glared at him, the impatience in his eyes almost overflowing.

Finley sarcastically said: "How else can we prepare? How about I drive you a tank and flatten the mountain? This is the safest way!"

This is a daily quarrel among the team. Every time someone goes to the tomb, some people hesitate, and in the end they don't go together.

“What kind of vine is this? Has anyone seen it before?” Brother Sun asked.

"I don't know. I've encountered vines with suckers that **** blood in the tomb of King Kong Zhong before, but it's different from this one." Scar pointed at the ferocious vines in the cave, "This thing is like a snake. You see, it still stands like this.”

Yu Xing looked along his fingers. Indeed, the snake-like attack method made the vines look even weirder. Suddenly, he remembered the milky-white bone-like object he had brought out in his pocket.

He observed the discussion carefully for a while, and finally discovered with great interest that this thing was really a bone!

Have you ever seen a vine with long bones? Saw it today.

Yu Xing held the bone that was thinner than his little finger and recalled the break he saw when he cut off the vine. After the bone fell out, it seemed to be a cavity inside.

He threw the bone to Scar and told him to pass it around: "The inside of this vine is like a section of independent cavities. There is plant meat under the skin, and bones under the meat. There are some nerves in the meat that are connected to the bones. When they When it moves, it is this fast bone that provides support.”

"Grass, this vine is really going to become a spirit. It has bones." Luke couldn't help but said, "Why do they have bones?"

Since it was Yu Xing who discovered this, Luke habitually asked Yu Xing.

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How would I know? Maybe... there are too many corpses buried in their roots. After being absorbed, the resentment will not dissipate, and they will grow again through the body of the vines?"

“You're telling me ghost stories here!” Luke felt extremely frightened when he thought about it. He regretted asking Yu Xing this question, folded his arms and went away to shut up.

Tsk, grave robbers are still afraid of ghost stories.

Yu Xing is also curious about the origin of vines, but he is not a biologist. There are even ghosts in this world. Is there anything wrong with plants having a little personality?

Just half an hour later, all the vines blocking the entrance of the cave had faded away. They turned back to emerald green color, clinging to the wall obediently, even wrapping up the vines that had been chopped off by everyone. Go up.

This also proves Yu Xing's idea. He feels that these vines should be sensitive to heat sources, or become active in an environment where the temperature rises. Then once the cave cools down, it is not impossible to go in and clean the battlefield. .

He felt that if he had a broom now, he could clean the cave.

"Okay, Shijiu and Thorny Tou probably left first, we won't wait any longer." Brother Sun looked at the time and finally announced his next action in a more tactful way, "Keep going, be careful of this kind of thing on the way. Cave, and don't forget the poisonous bugs. We'd better climb over this mountain before dark.”

Everyone stood up from the ground with a cry of agreement, and their boots made a crunching sound when they stepped on the fallen leaves covering the ground.

Luke's mood was not very high. Aaron, who had the best relationship with him, accompanied him silently. Scar took Shijiu's place and walked to Yu Xing's side.

His dagger was always in his hand because he was the one who carved the marks along the way.

Yu Xing noticed that Dao Scar always opened his mouth slightly when he looked at him, as if he wanted to say something, but kept silent. After a few times, Yu Xing took the initiative to ask: "What do you want to say?"

Scar touched the stubble and glanced at his ankle: "Nothing, I just admire you more and more. Even if your ankle is injured, you can still tuck your trousers so tightly and walk so fast, as if it doesn't hurt. "

Yu Xing secretly thought that this old man was really observant. His legs were not fully grown yet, but the pain was not enough to show on his face. On the surface, he found an excuse: "I'm just playing. The most injured part in extreme sports is the legs, get used to it.”

"Damn it, you are not in the tomb robbing business. If you specialize in this business, you must be a ruthless person." Speaking of this, Scar even showed a hint of pity, as if he wanted to persuade Yu Xing to give up painting. Enter the great tomb robber business, but this is obviously impossible.

Since we started chatting, Scar showed great curiosity about Yu Xing himself: "Hey, I heard that the style of your paintings is very weird, like a horror movie?"

Yu Xing: "This adjective was instilled in you by someone with no cultural background."

“Brother Sun said that.” Scar raised his chin, and Brother Sun happened to look this way.

The nine people were close to each other, and they chatted without speaking quietly. In fact, the entire team could hear what the two were talking about.

　　 Yu Xing: “...then it's okay, he's right.”

"Tsk tsk tsk, did the living vines on this trip give you new creative inspiration?" Scar was unexpectedly interested in this topic, and Yu Xing glanced at him strangely: "What, you want to put down the butcher knife and learn painting from me? painting?"

"How can that be possible?" Dao Scar shook his head and reached out to help Yu Xing: "Isn't it because I think you are trying to show off your talent? I want to have a few words to divert your attention."

Yu Xing: Here comes the strange attentiveness of the macho man - it's a pity that he doesn't need it very much.

There were no more troubles along the way, but there were obviously more big gray worms and vines living in small caves. Everyone worked hard to avoid them, and finally climbed over the mountain after the sun went down. .

They came to a quiet valley.

The air in the valley has become even more humid, and as the sun disappears, it emits waves of fine coldness, burrowing into everyone's clothes like maggots attached to bones.

The surroundings are quiet. There are fewer trees than on the mountains, but there are many more shrubs. There are also some plants with large leaves in full bloom, which look full of vitality.

“This is a good place to set up camp.” Finlay observed the terrain and waved his hand at a relatively flat leeward area. The team immediately became busy, took out the tents they carried, and went to prop up the tents and fix tent pegs.

Yu Xing's tent was a small single tent, and Dao Scar had already set up his tent without him having to do anything. In this aspect, Yu Xing was particularly satisfied with his identity as a painter, and he could just be lazy if he wanted to.

Afterwards, they gathered together for a meal of canned food and compressed dry food, chatted for a few words, and Yu Xing went back to the tent to rest early.

Although Brother Sun and Scar in this team can get some equipment that requires access, in his opinion, their financial resources are still a bit lacking, the tents are not strong enough, and the food is not good enough.

In terms of reaction ability, the level of the team members is uneven. Let alone the temples and tombs, even if these people are taken to the coffin village, they may not all survive.

If something happens, it will still hold him back. Yu Xingqing was thinking about changing teams.

Since Shijiu can leave temporarily, it means that there is at least one team nearby, right?

Of course, he just thought about it casually and was mentally prepared to react as quickly as possible when he had to leave.

It was getting dark, and his intuition told him that this valley with no name on the map would not be a harmless place. The humidity alone would give rise to many strange animals and plants.

Half of his body was stuffed in the sleeping bag, waiting for the second wave of background delivery from the system. During the boring waiting time, he silently listed all the information he had in his mind.

About the tomb palace.

What a group of tomb robbers and the possible financial bosses behind them are pursuing is the resurrection technique developed by Demon Dao.

Judging from the ancestral hall in Coffin Village, the existence of the black coffin will gradually affect an entire area, allowing people who have died to regain consciousness and mobility—or in fact, only consciousness.

Because when he left, he looked back and saw that the coffin village was located in a wasteland overgrown with weeds and there was no village at all. It was difficult to tell whether what they experienced at that time was reality, which was an illusion, and which was a special realm created by ghosts.

No matter what, there must be many things in the temple and tomb that can create hallucinations. Illusions will be as important and terrifying elements in the tomb as corpses, ghosts, and mechanisms.

Then there are corpses. Different from ordinary corpses, the Black Ancestral Hall has endowed the corpses in the Coffin Village with many characteristics that they should not have, including even "pregnating offspring" that only living people can do.

This is proof that the corpse truly has the character of being alive.

Another point is that living corpses are very aggressive. He has not forgotten the two villagers who chased Ju Lan with axes and knives that night, as well as knocking on his door in the middle of the night and putting his eyes into the cracks. Spying on his village chief's wife. During the day, these "people" only chatted with slightly weird content, but at night, they seemed to be unable to suppress themselves, and their ghostly appearance was revealed.

From his experience in Coffin Village, Yu Xing was able to dig out some clues, such as the need for a black coffin for resurrection, the importance of candles, and the fact that living zombies have an almost paranoid enthusiasm for the replacement of leaders. They ushered in Zhou Qinghai The scene of dragging Zhou Facai away was still vivid in Yu Xing's mind, and he wondered if Zhou Facai was still buried under the big locust tree.

Hallucinations, living corpses, candles and candlesticks, leaders…

Yu Xing tried to piece together these clues, but in the end he failed because they were too detailed.

But he finally sorted it out, and his sense of the tomb became much clearer.

Not long after, the system prompted to arrive on time. The background this time seemed to be the one after the last time, and it was directly accessible.

　　【Before departure, you received an invitation from your friend Carlos. Since you often chat in the WeChat group, he also knows about your joining the investigation studio. He admired your ability very much and hoped that you could go to the Tomb Palace with his team. However, you had already negotiated the price with Brother Sun, pretending to be a horror painter who was somewhat interested in the Tomb Palace, and were ready to go with Brother Sun at any time. let's go. 】

Yu Xing: “?”

There is indeed something about Carlos, but Yu Xing can't figure it out, why on earth did he reject Carlos?

　　San is so stupid. If it were him, no matter how much money Brother Sun gave him, he would just rebel. At such a young age, San has such a strong sense of responsibility. No wonder he is still trapped in a family fight.

As far as Carlos's paper-hand ability is concerned, it is a path-finding artifact in the tomb. I don't know how many times more reliable than these people in Brother Sun's team. Wouldn't it be great to cooperate with Carlos?

But thinking that Carlos would not help him carry supplies and set up tents, Yu Xing was relieved.

　　That's okay too.

[Carlos did not give up and revealed some information he had to you, such as the legend about the demon path. He had a more accurate version. He also said that he was in touch with the team that was searching for black temples around the world. That team There are more accurate guesses about the structure of the tomb palace to attract you. 】

[You didn't agree or refuse. You learned from Carlos that their team would set off three days earlier than Brother Sun, so you replied to Carlos and said, “I'll see you in the tomb then. If the purposes of both parties do not conflict, you can find Opportunity to break away from Brother Sun's team and compete with him. 】

Hearing this, Carlos secretly told you jokingly, be careful of bugs, vines, dead people and flowers around the tomb. He didn't want to reveal more details. He probably used the information in his hand as a bargaining chip to attract you to join. 】

The new information ends here, Yu Xing: “…”

The system is really a trap. Couldn't the reminder about bugs, vines, dead people and flowers be told to him in the first background?

He rubbed his temples. The big gray worm and the vine had already appeared. The former killed Ad, and the latter injured the entire team and left two people missing. What are the dead people and flowers behind?

Sounds quite interesting. I really want to try it out soon...

The wind outside the tent was getting stronger and stronger, and Yu Xing gradually felt tired. The tossing and turning this day took quite a lot of energy.

He got into his sleeping bag with the vigilance that he never let go, intending to go to bed early. He heard Scar said that he would have to set off at dawn tomorrow.

But he didn't know whether he was lucky or not. Just when he was about to fall asleep, a slight and chaotic sound of footsteps sounded outside his tent.

Yu Xing, who was still asleep, woke up immediately. He squinted his eyes and looked outside, and saw a strange figure shining through the moonlight, leaving a deformed shadow on his tent.

This was a tall and thin figure, who seemed to be carrying something in his hand. He stopped outside Yu Xing's tent and just stood there without leaving.

How does it feel to wake up and find a silent person standing outside the tent?

interesting!

Yu Xing only had this answer. He took the dagger placed next to the sleeping bag, held the zipper of the tent with his left hand, and pulled it up without hesitation.

The zipper made a buzzing sound, which seemed to disturb the people outside. As soon as Yu Xing opened the tent, he found that the person was gone.

He poked his head out and saw silence all around. The tents of the other team members remained intact and no one came out.

What about people? Hiding behind a bush?

Yu Xing hesitated for a moment between sleeping and going out to find someone, and the other person made the choice for him.

A drop of blood fell on Yu Xing's head. At the same time, a metal plate fell from beside Yu Xing. Yu Xing's eyes adapted to the light, and using the bright moonlight, he could see clearly what was on the plate in an instant.

That is a name tag, printed on it is: thorn head.
