Absurd Deduction Game Chapter 856

Chapter 856 Are you out of your mind too?

Speaking of the process of making this blessing card, it is indeed much easier than finding a doll.

Several material locations have been directly informed to the "travelers". They only need to avoid the evil ghost townspeople on the road, and after arriving at the designated location, learn how to make them with the "craftsmen" who have been waiting for them in those locations.

There will be no evil ghost townspeople in those locations. They only need to pass some non-fatal tests-such as soaking the wooden sign with their own blood and dyeing the wooden sign red, or needing to interact with a mirror when making lanyard tassels. He talked with the female ghost, got a lock of her long hair, and used her long hair as weaving material.

Writing the prayer content in ink is even simpler. You only need to make the words look good. However, only true wishes can leave ink marks on the blood-colored wooden plaque. Otherwise, no matter how thick the ink is poured on it, it will not leave any trace.

Once you have visited all three places, you have finished making the blessing sign. You only need to wait until 8 o'clock in the evening to hang the sign on the sacred tree. You can make your own arrangements for the rest of the time.

Hence, those who chose the blessing card returned to Baibao Street early, found various merchants to inquire about information, and tried to receive side tasks from merchants to gain points.

However, as night falls, the closer it gets to eight o'clock, the more uneasy these people feel.

Deducers rarely make mistakes with their sixth sense. If they complete the game so easily—this “easiness” is compared to the first day—I'm afraid the hidden dangers will be exposed when the lucky cards are hung.

Zhang Yu thought so too. Therefore, when he saw Yu Xing's figure on Baibao Street, he immediately rushed forward and told Yu Xing in detail about today's experience, including the late The more uneasy feeling.

That's why Yu Xingcai sat at the tea stall with him in advance to observe the sacred tree.

Then, during the day, the sacred tree, which was still looking normal among the crowds of spectators, quietly turned into such an evil appearance at night.

The power of the curse mixed with the twisted energy of the Snake Girl surrounds the sacred tree. Others cannot see it, but Yu Xing can tell it at a glance.

This tree possesses the power of both curse and distortion. It is so impure that not even the black mist in his body is interested in swallowing it.

For the curse of the ghost sinking tree, another tree is nothing more than its own nutrients or unconnected limbs. If it encounters it, it will either be devoured or assimilated. Not to mention the black mist will surge, and even the black lines will not be able to help but come from it. emerging under the skin.

But the sacred tree in front of you is like a plate of delicacies drizzled with rotten pus. No matter how appetizing it is, the moment the pus is poured on it, it is already a disgusting waste.

"Captain... So what kind of curse will we experience?" Zhang Yu was flustered.

This panic is not because he is timid, but arises naturally as time goes by, as if some hidden pattern is giving them a warning before they hang up the prayer plaques.

Yu Xing suddenly sighed.

Lan Wuye's heart tightened: "What, what's wrong?"

Yu Xing said: "It's nothing, I just feel that your cognition has been affected unconsciously."

The two juniors at the same table slept in the hotel last night. They have not experienced the cognitive distortions in the townspeople's homes, and they are not keen enough for today's blessing card game.

Otherwise, Zhang Yu would not have described the game as simple and easy when he first reported his experience to him.

Although Yu Xing mentioned that they were affected, the tone seemed not to be serious. Zhang Yu breathed out quietly: "Captain, I shouldn't have been affected too much, right?"

He himself didn't even feel anything was different from before.

"You said a lot, but you are so stupid." Yu Xing glanced at him sideways, and Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Considering that the snake girl's cognitive distortion is irresistible to Zhang Yu... and Lan Wu, Yu Xing did not make it difficult for them to think about it, and instead said:

“Where is your prayer card?”

The two of them took out the finished signs from their pockets and put them on the table, but they were always face down, with the side with the ink stains underneath.

Yu Xing glanced at it and Zhang Yu explained: "Although there is no danger in writing a wish, the craftsman added a rule to us."

“Before the prayer board is hung on the sacred tree, no one can know the wishes we wrote down, otherwise it will be counterattacked and run counter to the wishes.”

So they trusted Yu Xing and took it out as soon as they asked, but they still didn't dare to let Yu Xing see the front of the blessing card.

Yu Xing lowered his eyes and smiled with unknown meaning: "That's it."

He reached out and picked up the blue piece without looking at the hidden wish. Instead, he rubbed his thumb on the back of the card for a while and fiddled with the tassels twice.

The smooth and flexible touch passed through his fingertips. He put down the sign and said calmly: "If it weren't for cognitive distortion, do you really think something made of female ghost hair and your blood can be used?"

"Blood is the best medium for many curses. The female ghost belongs to Yin, and her hair is also a Yin material. If it were any other derivation copy, you would never contribute your own blood, let alone let the female ghost's hair be bound to your own blood. ”

This is equivalent to knowing that a ghost wants to kill you, but you still send the murder weapon to the ghost's hands.

His words were not serious, but the color of blood flashed across the tip of his tongue, and it was like a long sharp needle that punctured the balloon that enveloped Zhang Yu and Lan Wu's awareness.

There seemed to be a banging sound in my head.

Zhang Yu's pupils shrank, and he felt like he was waking up from a dream. His mind was clear. When he looked at the blessing card again, he felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.

Yeah, how could he not realize that this was inappropriate?

Even if making a blessing card is a necessary task, he does not have the ability to confuse the audience and replace his own blood with other blood, but he should not be unaware of it after doing this, thinking that making a blessing card is "simple" "!

"At that time...it was the craftsman who kept talking in my ear." Lan Wu shook his head and got goosebumps all over his body. He recalled carefully, which attracted Yu Xing's attention.

“At that time, every place we went, we would meet different craftsmen. The one who taught us to soak the wooden plaques with blood was a middle-aged man, the one who weaved lanyards and tassels was a woman, and the one who wrote the wishes in ink was an old man.”

“They all only teach one-on-one. When someone is studying in the room, others can only wait outside and cannot hear any sounds in the room.”

Lan Wu pressed his temples: "When I went in, no matter which craftsman they were, they were very close to me. I was originally wary of them, but somehow I gradually became completely unguarded, even though they were almost within earshot of me. Teach me how to do it.”

"And then, no matter what they say, you think it's logical and not a big deal?" Yu Xing tilted his head.

"...Hmm." Lan Wu nodded, "Actually, I know it's wrong, but I can't raise the interest in resisting. There seems to be a voice saying, if it's wrong, it's wrong, and it's not a big deal."

A hint of humiliation flashed across Zhang Yu's face: "I feel like the kind of fool in a mystery novel who is hypnotized by the villain with a few words and then becomes a time bomb for the protagonist's team."

Lan Wu: “…” Thank you, then I'm a fool too.

"Let's talk about the female ghost in the mirror. I heard you say before that the craftsman has a mirror. You must ask the female ghost in the mirror for a lock of her hair before you can start making lanyards and tassels." Yu Xing nodded at the table. , "The female ghost has a weird temper. She is always angry, happy, and sad for no reason, but she is always easy to talk to and will give you her hair after a while."

“Now tell me, what does she want?”

Lan Wu is dumb.

"A female ghost didn't even attack. Even if she was angry, she just didn't want to give her hair. Ha, she is really a kind ghost." Yu Xing scoffed, "There is an even more outrageous factor, Zhang Yu."

The person who was named shivered.

“For you, what is the most wrong thing about female ghosts?”

Zhang Yu quickly recalled the entire exchange with the female ghost.

In the mirror, the female ghost could only reveal a head and a part of her neck. Her face was covered by a large, shiny black braid, which was braided at her chin and the tail of her hair was thrown back on her shoulders. Only then can the neck be exposed.

The female ghost asked him where he came from, and he only said from far away.

The female ghost asked him what he wanted, and he honestly replied that he wanted a lock of her hair.

The female ghost asked him again what he wished for, and he said many small and unimportant wishes, such as making dumplings with Ran Ran next time; buying a set of Yushang's collector's edition books; asking Ran Ran to wear a maid outfit once this year...

Then the female ghost was angry and sad at the same time, asking why she still heard people talk about love after she died, and asked him, didn't he have something more important and a bigger wish?

Zhang Yu's final answer is that his greater wish is

Married Ranran.

The female ghost was completely speechless. Even the weird feeling brought by the big thick black shiny braid seemed to have dissipated a lot. Then she said in an impatient tone, "I'll give you the hair. Get out of here. I won't even bother to say anything to you anymore." Hate."

While communicating with the female ghost, the surroundings became completely white, and the sense of existence of the room where I was originally completely faded away. Only the mirror and the wooden chair sitting under my **** were left in my consciousness.

The female ghost asked him to get out, and everything returned to the original state. The master craftsman was standing next to the mirror, and in front of the mirror, there was a long strand of hair, and only his own figure was left in the mirror.

"I know." Zhang Yu had a flash of inspiration, "The most wrong thing is the existence of the female ghost itself!" Lan Wu was surprised, and Zhang Yu continued:

"From the moment we entered Nanshui Town, the ghosts we encountered were either monsters from the townspeople, strange things like ceramic waiters, shadows from the afterimages of the past, or ritual costumes and ritual clothes that were inexplicably connected to our lives. Flesh ghosts and stuff.”

“There has never been a disembodied female ghost!”

"Not to mention the ghost in the mirror who uses the mirror as a medium. Her existence is too abrupt and she is not next to anything." After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he looked at Yu Xing hesitantly, "Captain... Am I right? "

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Okay, I still have some brains left."

“Put aside the issue of female ghosts for now and let's look at the aspect of writing wishes.”

“Now that it is known that you have provided blood and are connected with the female ghost's hair, you must write down your true wishes.”

“Do you know what's going to happen?”

“Cursed.” Zhang Yu dryly copied the answer that Yu Xing had announced long ago.

Yu Xing laughed, okay, this kid is quite good at taking advantage of loopholes.

He curled his lips: "...First of all, the blessing cards are made by your own hands from beginning to end. This means that you are 'voluntarily' offering your blood to the sacred tree to ask for your wish to come true."

"This action is not a simple prayer, but almost a self-sacrifice. The harder it is to realize your wish, the more things you need to sacrifice. As long as you hang up the blessing plaque, the curse will take effect."

“Add to this the power of cognitive distortion…”

“I think that when you are alone at night, the sacred tree will deceive your cognition and make your brain think that your wish has been fulfilled, adding a memory to you out of thin air.”

"Of course you will feel something is wrong. In fact, it is very simple to find the loopholes in a forced memory. Maybe it only takes you half an hour to expose this lie."

“But within half an hour before this revelation, your consciousness will be fulfilled by default. During this period, the sacred tree can use the rules of the curse to absorb your life as its nutrients.”

“It takes less than half an hour to **** someone dry.”

Whether it was Zhang Yu, Lan Wu, or the goddess and others at the next table who had also pricked up their ears to listen at some point, they were all horrified by this last sentence.

If this is the case, in fact, the real test of choosing a blessing card is whether the deducer can realize as quickly as possible that the memory of the wish fulfilled is false. As long as the brain remembers that "the wish has not been fulfilled", it can prevent the sacred tree from getting the reward. The name absorbs their life force.

But this is not easy either.

Moreover, sucking it dry means sucking it dry. Even if it is not directly sucked to death by the sacred tree, a part of the life force will be taken away more or less in the delayed time. Whether you can still stand up by then, and whether you can stay awake and not comatose, all matter. It's hard to say.

"How could you guess so specifically?" At that moment, the goddess at the next table couldn't help it anymore, and her hoarse voice added another layer of weirdness in the night.

Yu Xing had already known that the people at the next table were eavesdropping, so since he told the truth, he didn't mind if others followed and gained some benefits.

"Specific? Of course it's because we know him too well." Yu Xing grinned and gave a scary smile to the table next to him.

If he had only encountered the power of Qianjie a few times and found it thorny and troublesome, the power of the curse had been with him for hundreds of years. From the beginning, he had to fumble around on his own, and after becoming a deducer, he gradually understood more. Now, he has Understand the function of the curse.

Make wishes and curses, ghost Chenshu can do this kind of thing.

But the Ghost Chenshu will not help people realize their wishes. As long as it lures people closer, it will unreasonably devour everything with curses.

As for desire, it is just an excuse.

Now this sacred tree is only so big. It can be seen that the snake girl can't cultivate it well. She also added Qianjie's ability to it. The finished product is naturally not as overbearing in terms of curse ability, but she can use her cognition to exploit loopholes. method has become feasible.

If he were this tree, he would also choose this direction of growth, so as not to turn himself into a useless waste.

“Then what should we do?”

Over there, several people hesitated, and a voice asked.

Yu Xing was surprised and said: "Are your brains broken too?"

Everyone: “…”

Maybe it's a little bit, I feel like my head is empty.

"There are only two solutions, one is to fight against cognitive distortion, and the other is to fight against curse." Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, "Nanshui Town is the home of cognitive distortion. You are not sure to stop it in the time you can accept the consequences. For the sacred tree, of course we have to start with the curse.”

Compared to cognitive distortion, the deducer's understanding of the curse is much deeper.

To give a very simple example, if Carlos were here, he would definitely be able to hang up prayer signs without any scruples. When the curse came, he would have so many scapegoats and throw more of them out, and the sacred tree would have nothing to do with him.

Cognitive distortion is located at each person through the blood on the blessing card, but the cognitive distortion of the sacred tree comes from the curse. The little paper people may not be able to transfer the cognitive distortion, but as long as they can transfer the curse, the cognitive distortion will naturally It will fail together.

After all, the sacred tree was just something planted by Snake Girl. She probably stole a core branch of the Ghost Chen tree somewhere, planted it in the soil, and then used human fertilizer to add some fertilizer to grow like this. The age is too young. In fact, it is nothing compared to this group of averagely powerful deducers.

Which gamer hasn't ordered something that transfers damage?

　　 Yu Xing paused.

Oh, except Zhang Yu.

Even the amulet that Lan Wu was carrying and given to him by Medusa might be able to withstand the devouring effect of the curse. In other words, in Nanshui Town, the most terrifying thing is the cognitive damage, and the curse is his younger brother.

As long as you have a clear mind and don't look like a fool and a lazy person like now, the sacred tree is not something to be afraid of.

Oh, except Zhang Yu.

However, this is also the difficulty after Yu Xing made it clear. If no one here understands the ghost tree, it is naturally impossible to determine what means this sacred tree will use to harm people, and it is difficult to deal with it in advance. The characteristic of cognitive distortion is quietly.

The others are already immersed in the dream of wish fulfillment, and they may not even think about dealing with the curse.

Sitting at the next table are Shen Po, Gu Xing and Nan.

Yanma chose to find a doll. Hanging a lucky card had nothing to do with her, and she didn't dare to talk to Yu Xing for the time being, so she kept pretending to be dead.

Both Shenpo and Gu Xing expressed their gratitude to Yu Xing.

Only Zhang Yu, everyone was numb.

But he didn't panic. In this case, his captain would not abandon him, so he looked at Yu Xing helplessly: "Captain, what should I do?"

Yu Xing's eyes flashed with amusement, and he was about to speak—

Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "Because my cognition is affected, I just let myself give up thinking. I already know that I was wrong."

"Other people still have the ability to protect themselves and fight without their brains, and they can still live. I only have a brain, but I can still be so careless, and my characteristics are more resistant to cognitive distortions, but they are not brought into play. If there is no captain I'm dying, I should remember this lesson."

"I have gained experience this time, so I must be careful next time! My life is my own. Since I have chosen this path without the ability to fight, I should be more cautious!"

This light-speed introspection stunned several people around him.

Zhang Yu curled up into a ball, his shyness visible to the naked eye, trying to make Yu Xing feel better with this funny gesture.

Through his observation, he has already seen that Yu Xing is more of a show of weakness!

Yu Xing's character is very strong, and he also likes to tease people in irrelevant aspects for fun. When dealing with him, usually when he wants him to realize where his mistakes are, he will "humiliate" him severely and make him grow long. memory.

If you want to skip the humiliation stage and get help directly, it is better to actively admit your mistakes and take the initiative to grab the advantage.

It's broken. There is a power outage in my community. There is still 18% of the mobile phone's battery. I will update it to 5,000 yuan first, and then I will shut it down and wait for the call to continue. I don't know when the call will come. The remaining 5,000 yuan will either be sent in the early morning or tomorrow morning.

Cuckoo!

Whenever I post, the word count will be 26, and it won't affect the 10,000 words in the following days. Guguda!
