Chapter 458: The sequelae of losing san
The road leading to the island is very dark and not wide. It is barely enough for five people to walk side by side. The twenty deducers are on guard and palpitating, and are moving towards the island at a constant speed.
The familiar deducers discussed in low voices the possible dangers of this trail, and some checked each other's injuries and tested their identities. The team maintained a certain degree of silence, but there was always a low discussion, like mosquitoes that never stopped.
Zeng Lai took the initiative to ask Yu Xing: "Do you want to carry it?"
Yu Xing felt the hardness of the ground under his feet and found that it was actually quite comfortable to step on such ground. It didn't hurt at all. In addition, he was just a little tired physically and was not that delicate, so he smiled. Rejection: "No, I'm just a patient, not a porcelain doll."
"You guys have such a good relationship." Carlos sighed inexplicably from the side. "I haven't found a regular team yet. It's too tiring to be alone. San, if you don't mind, this game will be a great one." Me?”
"I also want to ask, why are you called Yu Xingsan?" Zeng Lai was also curious. He had watched Yu Xing's rookie game. At that time, because Carlos called Yu Xing that, he immediately knew that the two of them had known each other before the rookie game. acknoledged.
"We have gone through a deduction together before, and his pseudonym in that deduction was San. I think this name is cool, and it is also called getting used to it." Carlos moved his fingers habitually, "What about you? How did you know him? of?"
"Similar to you, I also got to know Yu Xing because of a special deduction. I found that this guy is not only handsome, but also has a better brain than me. He helped me a lot during that deduction."
In fact, it is very clear within the Intelligence Broken Mirror Team. Zhao Mou has long understood the interpersonal relationships among all of them in the absurd system, and has targeted those who are approaching with an attitude of taking advantage and which ones are sincere friends. Conducted in-depth analysis.
Zeng Lai had sent messages of support on the barrage during Yu Xing's several live broadcasts. It was clear that he was sincere. He was also a regular player. In Zhao Mou's position, Zeng Lai was trustworthy and necessary. Someone you can cooperate with.
No other strange things were encountered along the way. It seemed that the outer danger level of the Silent Island was really not high, as if it gave these deducers such a temporary safe buffer. The more this happened, the more uneasy the deducers felt.
They haven't even seen the types of ghosts on the island. The unknown is always the scariest thing.
Of course, while walking along this road, there were also some deducers who ran into the bushes on both sides to check, for fear of missing any clues, but this was destined to be a useless effort, because apart from them, there seemed to be no one on this road. There were no living people, not even a corpse. When the dwarf shrubs grew taller and taller, and were finally replaced by tall, leafless trees, they found nothing.
They walked peacefully for twenty minutes. When some people wondered whether they had entered the Ghost Wall, they saw the shadow of a town in the distance on another high ground.
The deducers were standing where they had reached the top after having started to feel like they were climbing a few minutes earlier.
To the interior of the island, their location was as high as a cliff. Looking at the basin below, they could clearly see a huge city, lifeless, oppressive and silent.
The black tower in the center of the city seemed very far away from them. The top of the tower reached straight into the sky and was hidden in the gray clouds that were pressing down.
There are some other tall buildings scattered around the tower, which are of no use for the time being. The styles of those buildings all resemble mid- to late-century designs, and most of them are older than the clothes they wear. They are dark, heavy, and gorgeous. Gorgeous to the point of being bloated, like orphans from an old era.
This is a town with a strong European style in the 14th and 15th centuries, but it is not so perfect, because the deducers with slightly better eyesight can see that the buildings nearby are covered with holes and rust, as if they have been corroded and abandoned. However, even if the exterior still retains its former appearance, who knows what the interior of these buildings looks like?
Several trickling rivers interspersed from places they could not see, forming a winding pattern inside the town, adding a little vitality to this lifeless town.
It's really weird. There is a seemingly very large town on such an island?
"It looks like this is a ruins, covering an area of about 700 square kilometers, which is larger than some cities today." Wen Qinghuai frowned as he looked at it, "No wonder there are schools and hospitals on this kind of island. , but what happened to the subway..."
It doesn't look like there is a subway here, a product of the times.
His usual deduction style is to skillfully use various weak sacrifices to achieve coordinated effects, and then use his own brain to perform deductions. Like Zhao Mou, he can be regarded as a very typical intellectual.
His words made the others think deeply.
"Maybe this is the secret we want to solve, but here's the bad news~" Huang Bai's tone didn't sound like she was going to tell bad news at all, but her lively tone did put a reality in front of her. In front of everyone, "The town is so big, how can we determine where the ghost notice is placed?"
Near the starting point, judging from the fact that it only took them 20 minutes to get here from the coast, the edge of the town in the basin below is indeed close to the starting point for them.
But there are too many buildings on the edge of the town. If you search them one by one, you don't know how long it will take you to search them. Moreover, unlike the safety on the coast, these buildings will definitely contain ghosts from the Dead Island.
"We have to go down first. After we go down, we can see what is going on in those buildings. Then we can judge where the notebooks are placed." Wen Qinghuai touched Huanbai's head and changed her position from very close to the edge of the cliff. The position was pulled back a little, "Be careful of falling."
Huangbai hugged one of Wen Qinghuai's arms and agreed obediently: "Okay, Mr. Huai~"
Wen Qinghuai had a suspicious blush on his face.
Yu Xing looked horrified from behind.
Good guys, we obviously met each other together, how come these two people are together? Still showing affection here!
And he is still an older man.
Damn it.
"The place where we are should be diagonal to the place where the experiencers are, see? The black tower is located in the center of the city. When we act, we can judge how close we are to the experiencers based on the position of the black tower. Far away." Fei Jing looked into the distance. The city was so big that she couldn't see the other side of the basin.
"What you should be thinking about now is how to get down? It's too steep here. Do you need to rock climb?" Bai Xiaobing touched his arm and glanced down subconsciously. Under the cliff they were on was a very sharp rock formation with weeds growing on it. , due to the humid climate, although there is no sunlight, these weeds still grow very densely, and they are all varieties that she cannot name.
There are tentacle-like things growing in some rock crevices, which look like they are not touchable. "We all washed up directly on the island without finding any supplies. It is impossible to get down here without ropes, so I suspect there should be a downward passage or a relatively gentle downward path nearby. You can find one. Look for it." Cui Hui said little, and it was very rare for him to give advice like this.
Everyone took action. Cui Hui's suspicion was also the suspicion in most people's hearts. No one here can reach directly through the cliff, not even Qu Xianqing. Although her skills are good, the unknown plants on the cliff are still there. There are threats that cannot be ignored.
Yu Xing also turned around, bypassing the huge leafless trees and looking towards the land.
The land here is glowing with a faint green color, which is very strange and looks very unhealthy. The trees that take root in this land to absorb nutrients also look like a joke. Not to mention showing their teeth and claws, most of the trees are growing in all directions. Twisting and twisting, directly invading him, like a dying man trying to stop himself from falling.
Zhao Yijiu was responsible for protecting him, a weak and sick man, while Qu Nianqing went to protect Zhao Mou. The four of them briefly separated to look for clues, while Carlos was leisurely checking and paying attention not far away from them. Two groups of situations.
"If we can't find the passage here, we may have to spread out a little further to find further places. Everyone, pay attention to the time. We must come back in half an hour no matter what!" Fei Jing frowned and raised his voice slightly.
This is because everyone is now more widely separated, and the volume of normal speech cannot reach everyone's ears. But after hearing Fei Jing's decibel, Yu Xing suddenly had a very bad premonition and stopped walking. .
“What's wrong?” Zhao Yijiu asked immediately.
Yu Xing glanced at Fei Jing's back, his eyes flashed: "Dead Silence Island... Do you think it's really okay to speak so loudly?"
"Will it attract monsters?" Zhao Yijiu became wary.
"I don't know if it will attract monsters. I just have a bad feeling. Since this is called Dead Silence Island, there should be some restrictions on sound. What I'm confused about is that although Fei Jing has a bad temper, she doesn't You shouldn't have thought of this. Didn't you notice that no one answered her with the same high pitch after she shouted?" There was a hint of doubt in Yu Xing's eyes.
After he said this, for some reason, there was suddenly a cool feeling under his feet, as if someone was blowing air conditioning next to his ankles.
Zhao Yijiu was silent for two seconds, lowered his eyes and whispered: "I feel more strongly about this kind of thing. The fish just now had an impact on people's sanity."
Yu Xing was startled for a moment, and then he noticed the flash of red light in Zhao Yijiu's eyes, and suddenly remembered that the devil in Zhao Yijiao's body seemed to have abilities close to those of the Ke type. If that fish had a big problem, they didn't notice it. Yes, this fierce ghost should also be able to sense some clues.
Zhao Yijiu rarely spoke more: "Not only Fei Jing shouldn't speak loudly, Wen Qinghuai and Huang Bai usually don't make intimate gestures in public. Bai Xiaobing is the one who should not refute Fei Jing. Cui Hui would not take the initiative to express his opinions just now, and my brother should not take the initiative to be in a group with Qu Xianqing. Normally he would choose me to be in a group with him, and Qu Xianqing with you. This way we have the best understanding of each other. ”
"One more thing to add, you don't talk so much normally." Yu Xing smiled, "You are observing very carefully, Brother Jiu, you have made great progress."
"Well, I was also affected, but it wasn't the fish, but... him. The familiar breath made his consciousness active."
Zhao Yijiu still remembered that Yu Xing seemed to be guarding against eavesdropping before, so now he did not directly say the existence of the chatterbox ghost, but replaced it with "him". Anyway, both Yu Xing and him knew what they were talking about. Whatever will do.
Yu Xing looked at Zhao Yijiu carefully and could see that the active consciousness of the ghost in his body made Zhao Yijiu's gloomy feeling fade away a bit, and instead he looked a bit like the smiling person in the fear hospital. .
He talks more and thinks more clearly and accurately than usual, but in general, Zhao Yijiao's consciousness currently has the absolute advantage, and the chatterbox is not so honest.
After thinking about this, Yu Xing temporarily relaxed and suddenly asked: "What about me?"
Zhao Yijiu: “What?”
"Everyone has been affected, but there are more or less problems. So where was I affected?" Yu Xing narrowed his eyes, "I think it's better to find out what's unusual about me first. What's wrong with me? It's more dangerous. If something happens, it will be too late.”
"You... must be a little dull?" Zhao Yijiao said a little uncertainly, "If it were normal, I shouldn't have said those things just now. I'm afraid you should have realized that they were being manipulated when they made these choices. It was affected, but you didn't think about it until Fei Jing's voice was too loud.”
"Hiss...this effect also includes lowering the intelligence?" Yu Xing thought about it. He endured the pain in his body while listening to other people's conversations. He was really not as sharp as before. Sometimes he was walking As he stared, that giant white face appeared in front of him again, with black and white as clear as a baby's eyes, staring directly at him.
This is not possible. He can die, be disabled, or be disfigured, but his IQ cannot be lowered!
“How to solve it?” He asked Zhao Yijiu directly, because according to his experience, when a person has the ability to perceive the source of anomalies that others cannot detect, he will basically have a way to solve the anomalies.
"...There is no other way to solve it at the moment. The only way is to get close to me." Zhao Yijiu's expression became a little colder. "If you stay by my side, the impact of that giant face will be diluted. After a while, the impact will be diluted." It will disappear completely—I just found out about it and I went to see my brother.”
His behavior is obviously because after Yu Xing asked him about the solution, the evil ghost consciousness in his body gave him such an answer. As expected of a evil ghost, he always helps and deceives people inadvertently.
Yu Xing followed Zhao Yijiu to where Qu Nianqing and Zhao Mou were. Since Zhao Yijiu could dilute this influence, he at least wanted the people in his team to stay absolutely awake.
Also, what did Zhao Yijiao say just now?
After being influenced, Zhao Mou took the initiative to break up with Qu Xianqing. This was a decision that Zhao Mou would not make under normal circumstances.
So what does this guy Zhao Mou want to do? ?
With some strange feeling, Yu Xing stared at Zhao Mou's figure getting closer and closer to Qu Xianqing.
