absurd deduction game.

Chapter 1047: I was annoyed, so I killed Jiang Po directly

Erhong weighed the pros and cons for two seconds, and the black-robed subordinate immediately stepped forward: "Young Master, do you need someone to keep an eye on the intruder outside?"

"Go ahead." Erhong did not hide his desire to control the overall situation in front of Yu Xing. He waved his hand, and the subordinate in black robe immediately bowed and left.

Afterwards, Erhong sat down next to Yu Xing, separated from her by a small table.

"Let me remind you, fox demon."

His young face and the tone of a superior were not out of place. Instead, there was a kind of "irrational" horror that was unique to this age.

"Even if we are alone, you won't be the winner. I can still kill you, dig out your eyes, and pull out your tongue."

"Master Wanban can no longer tolerate me. If I fail to meet his requirements, he can use this as an excuse to get rid of me, so I will not let you leave this room."

Erhong put one arm on the table and gave Yu Xing a cheerful, handyman smile: "I don't want to be liquidated before the final good show begins, so you don't have much time left to live."

Yu Xing spread his hands: "Of course, I know you are confident. You have basically determined my identity from the beginning, right? If you choose to take me away under such circumstances, as long as you are not seeking death, then you must have the confidence to completely suppress me."

"Very good, it seems that I don't need to waste extra words to communicate with you." Erhong's eyebrows relaxed, "Well, now you can tell me what you want from me by including me in your plan even though you know you are going to die."

Yu Xing recognized Erhong's confidence, although he and Erhong had completely opposite expectations about the outcome of a fight, whether life or death.

"Some questions, if you ask others, they may not know the answer, and those who know the answer may not tell the truth." He held his chin, "So I can only ask you."

"Oh?" Erhong was also very interested in this. Smart people can often get more from the questioner. "Ask me. I won't hide anything from a dying person... or a dying fox."

Erhong's agreement to answer questions was completely within Zhao Mou's expectations, as he had been dealing with Erhong under the identity of Mrs. Xue for most of the evening.

In fact, most of the action plans for the birthday banquet were also made by Zhao Mou.

Zhao Mou once told Yu Xing that Erhong was the most difficult chess piece to control under Master Wanban's hands. He was suspicious, cunning, and thought like a madman, but his sharpness was like that of the most rigorous wise man. Most importantly, Erhong's ability was worthy of his current status.

If you want to extract value from Erhong, you must be "at a disadvantage" and "equally matched".

Being at a disadvantage is to satisfy Erhong's need for a sense of security. The hunter will only give the prey a moment of real sympathy. When facing anything other than the prey, any communication is hypocritical.

Being evenly matched is what arouses Erhong's interest in hunting.

The more self-important a person is, the less he will bother to compete with the weak. Only when the opponent can cause trouble to him will Erhong look at him equally and give him chips to play with.

Therefore, the plan proposed by Zhao Mou was to first use the flaw to disappoint Erhong, and then show up directly to "end the game", and at the same time take advantage of Master Wanban's dissatisfaction with Erhong to put Yu Xing in a position where he must be killed.

Then give a reversal in the conversation and let Erhong experience the excitement of "it turns out that I am the one being fooled".

In this way, a delicate balance is reached between curiosity about the intruder's actions; the anticipation for the fun that suddenly increases due to the sense of gap; the sense of security that things will not be out of control no matter what; and the pity of the superior who thinks the prey is going to die anyway.

In this balance, Zhao Mou is 80% sure that he can turn Erhong into a know-it-all traitor.

This is the plan, and the details of the on-site operations are entirely decided by Yu Xing.

Obviously, it was not difficult for Yu Xing to do things according to the instructions. Except that the gray-white liquid in Erhong's hand instantly melted the dead tree, which made him feel a little disgusted, everything went smoothly.

Even the details derived from the hidden task, "Before Master Wanban showed up, he was probably transforming the collected souls with forbidden techniques, so it was inconvenient to do it," were not wrong. Others had their own tasks, and Yu Xing at least achieved his goal.

He was finally about to get the most hidden puzzle piece of Fengtou Town. The corner of his mouth curled up: "What I want to ask is, in the past, was there a night watchman in the town who would come out every night?"

After they returned to the real world of this copy, the first supernatural power they came into contact with was the source of the nighttime death threat—

Rule book.

[Rule Nine: There are night watchmen patrolling the city. They are kind-hearted and are the guardians of the night. If you encounter difficulties, you can ask them for help.]

[Rule 10: Not all night watchmen will help you. If you talk to a night watchman and find that he is smiling at you, please run away immediately! Please run away immediately!]

The night watchman, who occupies two full rules, should be an important role in the night rules no matter how you look at it.

However, no matter which night it was, no matter which person performed the deduction, could see the shadow of the night watchman.

It was like an existence that was supposed to shine brightly, but it quietly disappeared.

Even if we inquired with the townspeople during the day, we found nothing, because the townspeople simply didn't dare to go out at night.

Last night, Yu Xing and his teammates captured several people from within Wanban Master's organization for questioning. However, those evil magicians who would act at night did not know the origin and whereabouts of the night watchman, and were unable to reveal any useful information before their death.

The only useful sentence was, "Please don't kill me... Maybe Master Wanban will know! No, no, no, there is no need for Master Wanban, maybe the young master will know! Nothing can be hidden from his eyes, ah——!!!"

The deeper the secret is, the more important it is.

As more and more information is collected, the identity of the night watchman becomes particularly critical.

It may only take one answer to piece all the seemingly unrelated clues together.

I didn't expect Yu Xing's question to be so insignificant. Even Erhong was stunned for a moment.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, but the night watchman has been missing for a long time. Do you want to know his whereabouts?"

"No, I roughly know the whereabouts of the night watchman." Yu Xing shook his head slightly, and suddenly his smile widened. "Is the original night watchman called Alan?"

Erhong snorted and laughed: "You guessed it right. Why, is this matter very important to you?"

"Alan is a dog raised by Grandma Jiang. She is young, impulsive, and unrealistically kind. She wraps herself tightly every night and guides ordinary people who occasionally get lost back home."

"I have to admit that she is quite capable and has done a good job. She was even included in the rules. Since she was confirmed by the rules, no one could see through her identity as a night watchman. But unfortunately, I had already figured out her background long before that."

He sighed slightly, a little regretful: "I wanted to kill her, but the rules came too late. My hesitation made me never have the chance to kill her at night."

"So you want to kill her during the day?" Yu Xing asked.

"I originally thought that Jiang Po was the biggest trouble for Master Wanban, ha... Master Wanban was afraid of Jiang Po, so he always urged me to reduce Jiang Po's help as soon as possible." Erhong's eyes revealed a little disdain, "But what's the point of killing Jiang Po's dog?"

"I killed Jiang Po directly."
